Waiting for the wind and rain, the city of clouds is light

As the sun slanted to the west, the fishermen who went out to sea all returned to the shore one after another, chatting about the harvest of the day.Most of the shops have been closed, except for two or three places where lanterns are still lit in front of the doors.Zhang Liang stood behind the threshold of the inn, calmly looking at the fading night.

Fatty Ding was cleaning the table inside, and couldn't help looking up at him curiously.

"It's really not easy to see such a peaceful scene once." After a moment of silence, Zhang Liang opened his mouth, but his eyes were still on the street at sunset.After watching for a while, he closed the door, turned and walked into the inn, sat down at the table, and looked at Fatty Ding: "Shopkeeper Ding, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to say that," Fatty Ding waved his hands again and again, then lowered his voice, "It's too late for me to be grateful for your willingness to help the brothers in the Mohist Trick City!"

"Besides the giant of the Mohist school, are there other people accompanying him?" Zhang Liang asked as he saw Fatty Ding pacing in front of him.

"Hmm..." Fatty Ding put his hands on his chin and thought for a moment, "There is Mr. Xiaoyao from Taoism."

Renzong Xiaoyaozi?Zhang Liang nodded secretly.

"This trip may take a long time," Fatty Ding stepped forward, and lowered his voice an octave, "Besides, this time the empire's search and arrest forces have strengthened, and Lord Juzi told me to tell Mr. Zhang that he must be prepared. careful!"

"Thank you very much." Zhang Liang thanked with a smile, "I came here today to hope that Treasurer Ding can give a brief introduction to the current situation of the Mohist organ city. I wonder how many troops will be sent this time?"

"There is no confirmed information yet," Fatty Ding shook his head, "But judging from the situation, it will only be more or less than before, no matter how you say it..."

"boom!"

A shadow on the street outside knocked open the half-closed wooden door, and staggered into the inn. After two or three steps, he suddenly turned around as if remembering something, closed the door, and then staggered straight into the inn. The long table where Fatty Ding and Zhang Liang were, bumped into the edge of the table and stopped with a bang, with his hands resting on the table.

"This friend, you are..." Fatty Ding stammered before he was interrupted by the uninvited guest who slapped the table and shook the sky: "Stay in the hotel! How much is it for a night?"

"...Fifty Wen a day, [-] Wen for two days..." Fatty Ding was stunned by the short and forceful voice, seeing that the ragged clothes and the tattered long scarf that covered his face and the exposed front completely blocked his With the messy long hair on his face, Fatty Ding only felt overwhelmed by this guy's aura, and mechanically followed the questions to answer.Unexpectedly, the man grabbed a cloth bag and slapped the coins full of coins on the table: "This is one day's money. Please keep it for the next night. Don't mention me to anyone!"

"But, but..." Fatty Ding was so confused that he couldn't make a turn. The man glanced out of the window, raised his other hand and slapped the table to interrupt him: "Please help me with this favor." If the money is not enough, I will pay it back, but I only want to keep it for one night!"

Zhang Liang frowned imperceptibly, and glanced outside.A group of soldiers flashed out on the originally quiet street.

"It's the army." Zhang Liang said in a deep voice.Fatty Ding was startled, and went to the window to watch vigilantly, while Zhang Liang shifted his gaze to the young man still standing by the table.The young man froze, turned to Fatty Ding, lowered his voice and hurriedly said: "I am not a vicious person, and I know how to repay my kindness, and I will never seek wealth or death. If the shopkeeper does not want to take him in, please let me hide." For a while, after avoiding this time, I will leave immediately!"

Fatty Ding looked at the approaching army outside again, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! There is a shadow under the stairs, little brother, you should hide there first!"

The man froze again, but quickly cupped his fists at Fatty Ding, and quickly dodged into the shadows under the stairs.Zhang Liang withdrew his gaze, his eyes darkened when he glanced at some bloodstains on the ground.

The sound of footsteps outside was approaching the entrance of the inn, and he was about to stand up to block the dazzling red, when suddenly a wine jar flew over and hit the bloodstain accurately and vigorously, the wine in the jar splashed everywhere.Fatty Ding turned his head, with an unconcealable astonishment on his face.Zhang Liang avoided the fragments of the wine jar and looked straight at the shadow under the stairs.

The inn door slammed open!

"Ah!!" A thick baritone voice.

Yun shrunk in a small shadow under the stairs, holding a protruding piece of balance beam with his hands, holding his breath, squatting on the ground, not daring to poke his head out to see the situation outside.Fortunately, I found a few drops of blood just now, but I hurriedly smashed it with a wine jar and wondered if I could cover it up.

"Treasurer Ding, this..." The metal sound of armor colliding entered the inn.

"Oh, look at how careless I was, I spilled the wine all over the floor, don't be offended, General, hahaha!"

"Shopkeeper Ding, clean up slowly, and be careful not to hurt your hands." A gentle voice came in, and it was Zhang Liang who was speaking.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang Liang from Xiaoshengxianzhuang, offended!" The general's voice added a bit of respect.

"Where is there," said the humble tone as always, "what is the general doing here?"

"I wonder if the two of you have seen a person in dark clothes coming?" Finally getting to the point, Yun Wei stopped trembling involuntarily. Shopkeeper Ding, you promised to help if you can't speak, it doesn't count!

"At this time, is there anyone still walking on the street?" Fatty Ding's tone was full of doubts.

"Treasurer Ding didn't know about it. We also discovered the movement just now on patrol. A house on the mountain suddenly caught fire. When the subordinates arrived, they could only smell the smell of burning human flesh. The one who escaped was probably a murderous gangster. He was very vicious and terrifying. !"

"This...how is this..."

"No matter what, please be careful. Songhai City is now sealed off, and this person will definitely be found!"

"General Lao!"

"Ha, what did Mr. Zhang say. Those two, I will leave first!" Yun Wei's heart moved, but she was not noticed!

"Haha, the general is going to take some time to visit this inn during his stay in Sanghai!" Fatty Ding's loud voice shook the eaves.

"Sure!" With a snap, he clasped his fists, turned around and walked out of the door, drifting away.Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief slowly, feeling lighter all over his body.

"It's okay, little brother, come out!" Fatty Ding watched the general leave, closed and tied the door, and whispered towards the stairs.

Yun Wei took a deep breath, propped herself up from the ground and stood up straight, the slight numbness in her legs made the pain less obvious.She went out, stood in front of the two of them, and smiled stiffly: "Thank you for your help."

Fatty Ding waved his hand boldly: "No brother, since I promised you to help, I, Fatty Ding, will never break my promise..."

"Also, I'm not a little brother..." Yun Weiwen interrupted Fatty Ding's eloquence in a low voice, raised his head, said with drooping eyes, and pulled off the scarf hanging on his head to cover his face .

Fatty Ding was shocked instantly: "You, you, you, you are not the vegetable seller in the morning..."

"That's right," Yun Wei tidied up her messy bangs, forced a smile as a greeting, "Thank you shopkeeper for remembering me."

"You... are the gangster they want to catch?" Fatty Ding pointed outside.

"...I didn't kill people like hemp..." Yun Wei rubbed his forehead.

Zhang Liang had already walked back to the long table and sat down, still looking at her.

Looking at Fatty Ding's confused expression, Yun Wei pursed her lips. Just now the general said that the army would be stationed in Songhai City, and now they probably have already started searching the city. With her current situation, she escaped quietly overnight. It's just not possible.Yun Wei thought for a while, and clasped his fists at Fatty Ding: "Shopkeeper Ding, if I remember correctly, there is not enough staff in this inn?"

"Ah? Ah!" Fatty Ding finally came to his senses and nodded quickly, "Yes."

"Just now I heard that the army plans to search the city..." Yun Wei clenched her fists and said bravely, "If they can't be searched, they will stay in Songhai forever. I... am not the murderous gangster they said, just Some... for the holidays. Although this is a bit abrupt, can Shopkeeper Ding let me work in the inn?"

"Ah... what?!" Fatty Ding stared at his small round eyes.

He was stunned?He was stunned!Yun Wei was heartbroken, and took advantage of the situation to launch a second wave of offensive: "I used to help Master take care of the yard. I can clean up sundries or rubbish, wipe tables, floors, and stairs. I know that shopkeeper Ding is the best in the world. There is no need for a cook to cook, but if I am asked to do odd jobs, look after the fire and prepare vegetables, I can still do it. And shopkeeper Ding doesn’t need to worry about I will be tired, he can do whatever rough work he wants to help!”

After finishing such a long sentence in one breath, Yun Wei took two deep breaths and adjusted back to the normal mode.I saw that fat man completely crashed under the overwhelming bombardment, and scratched his head inexplicably for a long time: "...All right, look..."

"Shopkeeper Ding, don't need to say too much, I can do chores from tomorrow!" Yun Wei stood at attention almost in a standard manner, and said with a straight voice.

A chuckle came.

Yun Wei looked over immediately, and it really was Zhang Liang.

"This is naturally good, Shopkeeper Ding." Zhang Liang said unhurriedly, and then he smiled warmly at Shang Yun's slightly alert eyes that were almost frightened and astonished: "I don't know the girl's name yet?"

This person is really powerful... Yun Wei is helpless, since she has reached this point, it is harmless to say it.Yun Wei pursed her lips, revealing a strange smile that could be regarded as a smile: "Hey Yunwei."

He Yunwei.

Zhang Liang took a sip of tea.
