Yanhuanglou went to the street and set up a tea stall in the morning.
Compared with yesterday, he looked much better. After setting up the stall, he lit a fire and started cooking porridge.
He looked at the street. From time to time, there would be official patrols. It was not like this before. He thought there must be something going on in the city.
It happened that an official on low duty came over to have tea.
Yanhuanglou served tea and listened to the conversation between the officials at the table.
"But I'm tired."
"Who says it's not the case? It's just such a thing that now we have to patrol day and night, and the yamen now has not enough manpower. Oh, it's really..."
"Drink tea, drink tea."
Yanhuanglou listened and asked while tea was being served, "Two adults, do you know what happened in the city?"
"Old man Huang, you don't know?" the official asked.
Yanhuang Tower said: "I've been sick for the past two days and haven't come to set up a stall."
After hearing this, the official said: "Just yesterday, at the Shi's pawnshop on the street in front, the shopkeeper's hands were cut off. The old shopkeeper fainted from fright on the spot and committed the murder in the street! He didn't take us seriously!"
Yanhuanglou was shocked after hearing this. He murmured: "Shijia Pawnshop..."
Obviously, he recognized it.
The official said: "It's not too far apart. You must recognize them."
"Ah." Yanhuanglou came back to his senses, nodded and said: "I know the old shopkeeper of the pawnshop."
Another official said: "This is a very strange thing. The shopkeeper had his hands chopped off and was rescued. But when asked who did it, he couldn't tell. Even the old shopkeeper was like this and couldn't tell.
Find out who did it.”
Yanhuanglou exclaimed and asked: "It's... so bizarre?"
The officer took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I'm afraid I've offended someone, but judging from the way I acted, I looked like a gangster, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have just chopped off someone's hands."
Yanhuanglou seemed to vaguely guess something. He opened his mouth, but in the end he did not ask.
The official waved his hands and said: "I don't mention this matter. I feel very unhappy when I talk about it. If we can't catch anyone for a while, we will have to keep patrolling, which will tire people to death."
The two officials sat quietly drinking tea. After finishing the cup of tea, they had to go back to report. They were exhausted both physically and mentally and did not want to say any more.
Seeing this, Yanhuanglou didn't speak anymore. He seemed a little silent. After the two officials left, he sat on the bench and thought for a long time.
He thought of the blood stains on Chen Changsheng's robe yesterday.
I couldn't come back to my senses for quite a while.
"Gulu gulu."
The white porridge in the pot gurgled.
Yanhuanglou slowly came back to his senses, and then went to the white porridge to control the heat.
He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
About half a quarter of an hour later.
There are people coming to the tea stall.
"This porridge looks almost boring."
Yanhuanglou raised his head and saw the man in green clothes walking into the tea stall and sitting down.
Yanhuanglou opened his mouth, he wanted to ask a question.
But like before, he didn't ask any questions.
Just a word.
"Thank you very much."
Chen Changsheng heard this and said: "If you don't watch the fire, you really won't be able to drink this white porridge."
Yanhuanglou was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll keep it up for you."
Chen Changsheng smiled and then sat quietly waiting for the white porridge to come out of the pot.
Within a moment, two bowls of hot porridge were served on the table.
Chen Changsheng took a sip and said, "If you do more, you can eat it."
"Are you going to drink?" Yanhuang Lou asked.
"drink."
Chen Changsheng took a sip, then took out a folding fan from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"Crack."
Yanhuanglou was stunned for a moment when he saw the folding fan.
Chen Changsheng raised his head and said, "You have been saving for so many years just for this fan."
He shook his head and continued: "You are stupid too. You always go to the pawn shop to take a look. The old shopkeeper is still a human being, but his son is a man who has an eye for money. You go there often, and he
Naturally, I guessed that you have some money."
The white porridge in the bowl is steaming.
Yanhuanglou looked at the folding fan and didn't move for a long time.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Don't you dare to ask for it?"
Yanhuanglou came to his senses and pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Another moment passed.
Yanhuanglou raised his head and said, "Wait for me."
With that said, he stood up and walked outside the tea stall.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him, wondering why he was there.
But I saw the old man running out in a hurry. Even though his legs and feet were somewhat inconvenient, he still managed to run out of the city.
Chen Changsheng drank his porridge and sat here waiting.
The folding fan on the table was also placed there quietly.
About half an hour passed.
The man is back.
Yanhuanglou was a little muddy, and there were holes in the knees of his clothes, as if he had fallen down somewhere, and he was limping when he walked.
He came to the table with some difficulty and took a breath.
"Crack."
He placed the bag full of silver on the table.
"Seventy-eight two, three hundred and twenty-nine articles."
He reached into his arms again, took out two copper coins, and said, "Plus the two penny tea money I got this morning."
"Total..."
"Seventy-eight two three hundred and thirty-one articles."
Chen Changsheng glanced at the bag on the table and the two copper plates placed aside.
"What?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Yanhuanglou did not answer, but his legs softened and he knelt down.
"I once promised that I will only kneel to you, sir, in this life. Today is an exception. I will kneel to you for a ride."
"Please accept my worship!"
After saying that, Yanhuanglou leaned down and bowed down.
His forehead was pressed to the ground, and there was some dust on his forehead when he stood up.
When Chen Changsheng saw this, he just said lightly: "Have you finished knocking?"
Yanhuanglou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Chen Changsheng then added: "After finishing the meal, get up quickly and serve tea. Your white porridge is very dry. I'm a little thirsty after eating it."
Yanhuang Tower fell silent.
He looked at Chen Changsheng and thought for a long time.
Don't know why...
He actually regretted it!
Yanhuanglou stood up and angrily went to serve tea.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "Hey, Chen doesn't mind you knocking me again."
Yanhuanglou took a sip and said, "You have a good idea!"
He brought the tea up.
"Tea!" Yanhuanglou just said and sat down.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Aren't you going to pour tea?"
Yanhuanglou rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then poured him some tea.
Chen Changsheng took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "The tea is too weak."
"Would you like to drink or not."
"What are you talking about? Chen has helped you a lot, and you have this attitude?"
The corner of Yanhuanglou's mouth twitched and he said calmly: "Okay, I'll go and soak it for you again."
Chen Changsheng tasted it again this time, nodded and said, "This time it's pretty much the same."
Yanhuanglou looked at him, shook his head and muttered: "Why are there people like you?"
