Chapter 3: When will the future

This meal was very pleasant, how do you say that, I can’t eat it, I just walk around, Su-style pastry is the best in the country, the Mudu jujube sesame cake, osmanthus chestnut cake, and pine nut Huangqian cake are even better. It's soft and fine cotton, with endless aftertaste, Mai Peng carried a big bag, ready to take it back for Zhan Zhao to have a taste.

It's just that when walking on the road, Mai Peng's heart was still more disappointed than happy.

During Muli's stay in Kaifeng Mansion, it was the first time he could get along with people of his own age. He originally followed his master, so let's not mention it. Later, when he came to the mansion, whether it was Big Brother Zhan or Big Brother Zhang Long, they all took care of him. He treats him as a younger brother, and in order to set a good example for him, he has never played or played with him, let alone Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun... Since Mu Li came, he quarreled with him every day, and occasionally fought with him... Cooking skills, although Muli was actually imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion, but in Mai Peng's eyes, she didn't look like a murderer at all. It was a rare and interesting day to quarrel with her every day—until she died without telling me. Don't.

He remembers clearly that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the osmanthus cakes in the mansion were made by himself from quinoa. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake eaten in Sihai Restaurant has a surprisingly similar taste.

Could it be that the cooking skills of Su Buer and Muchen were taught by a master?It's not impossible...

Or maybe Muli went to the south of the Yangtze River after leaving the capital and taught such an apprentice as Su Buer?

Mai Peng walked all the way to the inn, thinking all the way, Muli escaped on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, and went to sea to catch the documents the next day. Then the situation changed suddenly, and the unconscious little girl on the bed turned out to be an ugly old woman with scars all over her face. , When he was locked in the prison, he slammed his head against the stone wall to death that night, and he couldn't die any more.On the second day, another one was sent from the prison, covered in wounds, paralyzed as if he had no bones, as if he was dead, as if he was dead, and some people said that he looked like the head of the guards in the palace. Strange.

The strangest thing was Muqin. When I saw Muqin in the mansion that night, Maipeng couldn't believe his eyes. He guessed that this was probably some scheme arranged by Brother Zhan and the others.However, after the incident, before he had time to say hello to Muli and talk about his farewell, Muli ran out by himself as if he had lost his soul.

Later, Big Brother Zhan went to look for her, and he came back alone. Then came the withdrawal of the sea arrest document. Since then, Mai Peng has never heard of Mu Lio. This girl has disappeared like this. up.

Mai Peng felt that there were some questions that he had to ask Muqin in person.

Maybe this Su Buer can know the whereabouts of Muchen.

When he returned to the inn, Zhan Zhao came back at some point, sat leisurely at the table and waited for him, glanced at the pocket in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you full?"

Mai Peng's face turned red with a brush. It felt like being caught in bed. He was at a loss for a long time, and then remembered that the person in front of him had disappeared first. I'm afraid you're too busy to go out and don't have time to eat, so I brought you something specially?" He said and quickly put the bag on the table, with a doggy smile on his face, and almost rushed to feed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao is obviously already familiar with Mai Peng's tricks, he nodded nonchalantly, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea: "Where did you eat?"

Mai Peng was dumbfounded: "Si...Sihai Restaurant," after speaking, as if afraid of Zhan Zhao's misunderstanding, he hastily added, "The dim sum there is always famous, Brother Zhan, really, you see, I specially brought you some back..."

Zhan Zhao's expression finally showed a bit of surprise: "Sihai Restaurant?"

"Yeah, it's on Pingjiang Street, it's very close. Brother Zhan, I heard that there's a new chef there, I think, that person..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao interrupted: "Tonight, we are going to Sihai Restaurant."

"Ah..." Mai Peng didn't react for a while, he already understood what he meant before he mentioned Brother Su Buerzhan?Going tonight... Maybe it's also to find Su Buer?It really is Big Brother Zhan, who knows so much without making a sound, unlike him bumping around like a headless chicken...

Zhan Zhao's voice interrupted Mai Peng's random thoughts, he said: "Tonight, the Yangtze River Security Bureau will entertain the Zhenyuan Security Bureau, there may be troubles, let's go and see."

It turned out to be the matter of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau... It was just a chance encounter in the tavern, why did Brother Zhan catch them and not let them go?Does it have anything to do with Su Buer when they go to Sihai Restaurant?Mai Peng's mind was still entangled in Su Buer, completely missed the point, and digressed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother Zhan, is there still no news from Sister Muli?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback by the sudden name of Muli, he clenched his fingers on the teacup for a moment, and said after a while, "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"

Mai Peng scratched his head, should he tell Brother Zhan about Su Buer?The sea arrest documents before came and went even more bizarrely. Could Big Brother Zhan be playing hard to get?After thinking about it, Mai Peng asked cautiously: "Brother Zhan, what do you think, Sister Muli... what kind of person is she?"

Zhan Zhao frowned: "Do you have any news about Muchen?"

Mai Peng's head shook like a rattle: "I just want to ask, Miss Muli's sea arrest document was suddenly withdrawn, is it because she...is she not guilty?"

Zhan Zhao's expression has returned to calm, and he said lightly: "Since there is no evidence, the Kaifeng government cannot arrest her. If there is evidence in the future, the government will bring her to justice."

Mai Peng opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak for Mu Li, but the words came out: "Brother Zhan...do you trust Sister Mu Li?"

Zhan Zhao drank his tea with his head down, couldn't see his expression clearly, and when he finished drinking the tea, he said lightly: "It's getting late, you go back to the house and change your clothes, don't be too conspicuous, let's get ready and go to the Four Seas Restaurant."

Mai Peng let out an "oh", struggled a bit, and swallowed the three words Su Buer. Forget it, seeing Brother Zhan's expression, maybe he will trouble Sister Muli... Think about turning around and going back to the house , I went to change clothes.

Long after Mai Peng left, Zhan Zhao was still holding his teacup, and his eyes fell on the bag of dim sum that Mai Peng brought back. He never liked sweets, but wood quinoa. He used to bring mung bean cake, pea yellow layer cake Even the aunt at the dim sum shop knew that he liked it, and greeted him as soon as she saw him. In the end, Mu Li left, but he still stayed in the habit of buying dim sum.He didn't answer Mai Peng's question just now. At that moment, he believed that two words were about to blurt out, so he held back.

However, he believed in wood quinoa.

Since when?

He couldn't tell, maybe it was her clear eyes when they looked at each other, maybe it was her sly smile when she was joking, maybe it was the way she shouted his name hoarsely on the night of the fire in Taibaiju, which made him gradually put down The precaution in his heart, even sometimes, he would forget that her stay in Kaifeng Mansion was originally a prison.

But the real trust to let her go was the night on the top of the Town God's Temple.

The night was as cold as water.

That jar of wine made him feel warm all over.Muchen must be the same, blushing, and at the end of the drink, even his eyes were a little erratic, and he asked him with his tongue out: "Zhan Zhao, why...don't you take me back to Kaifeng Mansion? Yes...you want to wait for me Are you drunk? I... I can't get drunk, if you... move, do it, now... just come."

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Mu Li laughed, her eyes were as bright as stars, and it wasn't until a long, long time later that Zhan Zhao recalled that she realized that it was the tears in her eyes.She said: "Again, wait a little longer, let's do it now, I, I'm afraid I won't dare to do my best..." The voice was as cold as ever, but a soft place in Zhan Zhao's heart seemed to be bumped suddenly, There is a feeling that I have never had before.

It's just that the moonlight was so good that night that people only thought of drinking and parting.

So Zhan Zhao was silent.

Muli was very drunk, at first he just drank, and then he talked non-stop. Later, Zhan Zhao asked Mr. Gongsun, and found out that Muli was memorizing medical skills such as "Huangdi Neijing".

Zhan Zhao also became three-point drunk. For some reason, it seemed that both of them were desperately drunk tonight. One was afraid of keeping the other party behind, and the other was afraid that he would not be able to harden his heart and leave. Only when he was drunk, he would rest once drunk.

A long shed is built for thousands of miles, and there is no permanent banquet.

Fang San wakes up drunk, so let's wake up later.

The two of them sobered up a little, it was when the sky was dim.In the early morning of late autumn in the outskirts of the city, the mist is light and the scenery is as beautiful as a landscape painting.At the end of the clouds, there is a faint golden light.

Muchen blinked, then shook his head again, as if trying to get some thoughts out of his mind, he held his head for a long time and muttered: "Why is it dawn?"

Zhan Zhao's head also started to ache. The last thing a drinker wants to see is dawn. He looked at the wine jar that was kept aside, and couldn't remember why he was here.

Just two altars of wine made two people who can't drink lightly get drunk like this.

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly, before he knew how to speak, Mu Li looked at him and said, "Zhan Zhao, do you want to take me back to my Kaifeng mansion?"

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, then shook his head: "Master Bao said, the evidence is insufficient, the Kaifeng government can no longer force Miss Mu to stay in Kaifeng, and the sea arrest documents will be withdrawn as soon as possible, can Miss Mu be at ease?"

Mu Li frowned, and muttered: "Zhan Zhao, do you have to treat me like this?"

Zhan Zhao didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked her: "What?"

Mu Li laughed and asked an irrelevant question: "Zhan Zhao, if you don't care what Mr. Bao says, do you trust me? Will you let me go?"

Zhan Zhao's answer at the time was: "Whether I believe it or not, I have no right to keep Miss Mu."

Mu Li nodded: "Is that so..." After a pause, he slowly said, "Zhan Zhao, I have killed people before."

Zhan Zhao looked into Mu Li's eyes: "Zhan's hands are not free from blood."

Mu Li laughed, shook his head and said: "How can it be the same, you are a hero, and everyone under the sword deserves to die. Do you know that when I was very young, someone died by my hands?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback. Seeing Zhan Zhao's face, Mu Li's smile froze, but he continued, "I was 11 years old, and I was in the Miaojiang area. Master went to the mountain to collect herbs, and left me to wait in the village at the foot of the mountain. he.

"Little heart, the more Master won't let me go up, the more I want to go up, I don't even say hello, I go up the mountain with a small burden on my back.

"At that time, I had just learned some kung fu. I thought that the wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains were nothing to be afraid of. I even picked some remote paths to walk. If I killed a tiger, I could show off to my master."

Mu Li lowered his voice, and Zhan Zhao asked, "What? Did you really meet a female worm?"

Muchen smiled slightly: "It would be great if I met you." After a pause, he continued, "I saw a small child near the foot of the mountain, who looked less than ten years old and fell from somewhere. , one leg bone was stuck out, it was very scary.

"At that time, Master had already started to teach me medical skills, but I had never healed people. I didn't dare to cure people without Master. At this time, I was not as energetic as I was when I went up the mountain. I was afraid that there would be some man-eating beasts or something, so I shouted. Master did not dare to shout after a few times, and tremblingly went to see the child." Mu Li's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "I wanted to save him at the time, but in the end, it was I who saved him. Killed."

Zhan Zhao didn't know what to say for a while, before he said, "You were seriously injured, it's not your fault that you died, let alone you were only a teenager at that time."

Mu Li hummed, with no expression on his face, tapped his fingers lightly on the tiles, and said after a long time: "I didn't understand at that time, but after studying medicine, I realized that everything I did was to put that The child was pushed to the gate of hell. But I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt that I couldn't just let him die there like this.

"It was very bright at that time, but I was very scared. After carrying the child back, I told the villagers at the foot of the mountain about the cause and effect.

"At that time, a woman rushed out of the village. When she saw the child, she started to cry. After crying twice, she rushed up and beat me. Hehe, it was also a troublemaker from a poor country. When they saw the woman beating me, they didn't say to pull away. Also helped fight.

"I was also terrified, and I didn't even dare to hide. If the master hadn't come back in time, I might have been beaten to death by them. Later, the master told me that I might not be suitable for studying medicine. But I still insisted on learning, showing Zhao, I have been studying medicine since I was 11 years old, do you know how many people have died at my hands?"

Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, he thought what he heard would be her childhood experience of revenge, but unexpectedly, in her memory, killing people would be like this.

If this is killing people, what would it be like for her to save people?Muli asked him if he knew how many people died at her hands. At that time, Zhan Zhao thought, this girl must have never killed anyone. He is willing to believe it. Let her go trustingly.

Even though this farewell may be a forever farewell, this girl will be a passer-by in his life after all.
