Chapter Three: Childhood Sweetheart

Wang Jiajia, my childhood sweetheart.

I heard that Fatty Wang had to deal with her mother's funeral after she was born, so he didn't bother to name her and just called her "girl."

Later, when she was one year old, a blind fortune teller passed by, touched her head, and said that the child was a blessed person, but that she was destined to have a lack of luck, so she named her "Jia Jia" and added her surname, both upside down and upside down.

It's "earth".

She was the only child in Xiangzhou City, no, maybe the world, who had been taken out by caesarean section. She lost her mother as soon as she was born, and because Fatty Wang didn't care much about what he did at the time, he cut her too deep with a knife, and there was a scar on the left side of her face.

Got stabbed.

"Brother Jianghu, you... why are you... looking at me like this?" Wang Jiajia asked in a low voice, turning sideways shyly.

"Oh, I think your red dress looks pretty good. Is it newly made?" I asked, continuing to look at her openly.

"Yeah." Wang Jiajia replied, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, pursed her lips, and said no more.

Wearing new clothes, she also had her eyebrows drawn, lipstick was applied on her lips, and her hair was neatly tied into a bun. A silver hairpin pendant swayed back and forth, shining in the morning light...

Viewed from the right, although she is not the kind of stunning and refined beauty, she is still pretty, with a delicate face, gentle and pleasant face. But... the left side of her face...

Thick black hair hangs down from her left forehead, covering most of her face. This concealing hairstyle makes people want to find out more. A gust of wind blows, and the hair rises from her left side.

The scar from the temple to the left corner of the mouth was exposed, like a white centipede.

Wang Jiajia habitually raised her hand to cover her left cheek and smiled sweetly at me: "Brother Jianghu, are you... watching?"

"Ah?" I came to my senses. Could this girl think that I am also infatuated with her?

"Haha, there is a saying of 'reciprocity'. How long did you secretly look at me when I was sleeping? I have to return it." I said, went into the house and took out the money bag: "Let's go."

"where to?"

I was confused: "Isn't it my mother who asked you to follow me?"

"Yes, Mom asked me to go with you to buy a gift for Aye. I'm asking, where should we buy it?"

I didn't answer, but suddenly there was an indescribable pleasure in my heart. Haha, Fatty Wang, I follow you around every day, and I am terrified in front of you. I didn't expect that your daughter would treat me like this. Look at her like this

, I’m afraid she can do whatever I want her to do!

Grandma has gone to sell tofu and won't be back for a while. Fatty Wang must have gone to the government office again. No one comes to the house on weekdays... This lonely man and a widow, she dressed up like this, which makes people feel a little bit

……hey-hey……

Ahem, Li Jianghu, what are you thinking about? You are someone who wants to do great things. Don’t you still want to be a hero? A gentleman must first learn to be cautious in his independence, otherwise wouldn’t he be a hypocrite?

I looked back at the silly girl who was following me with a smile, and couldn't help but feel guilty for the evil thought I had just now: "Hey, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Don't always take advantage of me when I'm alone in the future.

Run towards my house, be careful I suddenly turn into a demon and eat you!"

"Hehehe, Brother Jianghu, are you possessed?" Wang Jiajia was not aware of my lust at all. Instead, she stepped forward and grabbed my arm. This confused me again. Could it be that she was still looking forward to it?

Am I becoming a little bit worse?

I gently pushed her hand away: "Fat Wang... uh... master... went to the government office again?"

"Well, I left at dawn. I, Aye, am still very dedicated to my duties. Although there is no body waiting for him to inspect, I will report in every day."

"Then...did he tell you anything?" I asked nervously.

"Yes." Wang Jiajia pursed her red lips and moved closer to me: "Aye said that he took you to the graveyard last night. Hey, have you dissected the corpse? It's the one who was found by the imperial envoy to be a thief.

The corpse of the team’s leader?”

I shook my head and became confused again: "How do you know that the imperial envoy found out about the secret agent in the Sky Eye Team?"

Wang Jiajia raised her head proudly: "Of course Aye told me, Aye told me everything. Haha, have your drawings come out? I'm afraid Aye will ask you for it when he comes back for dinner at noon."

I'm really afraid of what will happen. I touched my right cheek. It seems that I can only make you suffer. Who makes your master useless?

Wang Jiajia was afraid that she noticed something strange, so she grabbed my sleeve and said, "You... didn't touch the body at all, right?"

I smiled bitterly: "Don't move. The deceased is the big one. Although he is a good worker and has no family to trouble me, I still can't do it. They are already dead, how can I continue to mess with their bodies? Master said that I am right

The internal organs of the human body are still a bit unfamiliar. At worst, when Tu Laosan kills the pigs in the future, I will go and take a closer look."

"It's okay, Brother Jianghu. Today is Aye's birthday. He won't hit you. If he still wants to do it, I won't agree." Wang Jiajia said with indignation.

It has long been known in our neighborhood that Fatty Wang is afraid of his daughter. But as a grown man, am I still using this little girl to protect me?

So I strode out of the yard: "Who is afraid of him? Is he my opponent? I just think that he is an elder and has taught me some things, so I have a little more respect for him."

"Oh, yes, yes." Wang Jiajia stuck out her tongue. Seeing that I was unhappy, she was so scared that she quickly shut up.

That's how things are in this world, haha, one thing will bring down another. I'm afraid of Fatty Wang, Fatty Wang is afraid of Wang Jiajia, and Wang Jiajia is afraid of me...

The shouts of various vendors on the street could be heard one after another, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians passing by. We quickly bought wine and birthday peaches, but we felt a bit unwilling to just go back like this. After all, my family lives in a relatively remote place.

It took at least three quarters of an hour to reach the bustling streets.

"Jiajia, are you hungry?"

"Ah?" Wang Jiajia was looking at a jewelry stall in a daze, and turned around when she heard what I said.

"I'm hungry. I haven't had breakfast yet." I was holding wine in one hand and a big bag of birthday peaches in the other. I could only push my lips towards my stomach, which made two "gurgling" sounds, and I responded with a few words.

"Then I'll go back and bake you pancakes?"

"Ah? We still have to walk a long way." I was a little unhappy.

"Then... let's go find Mom? Isn't she just on the street in front? Let's see if she has any leftover beancurd? Eat a bowl of it first?"

I just felt sick in my stomach: "Don't mention the tofu pudding. Never mention eating tofu pudding in front of me."

"Then...I didn't bring any money either."

Humph, you didn’t bring any money? You bought all these things for your father, and you’re still hungry. I bit my lip and looked at her expressionlessly. As expected of Fatty Wang’s biological daughter, she is really stingy.

Wang Jiajia's face, which had some rouge on it, turned redder now. She glanced at me timidly and slowly took off the silver hairpin on her head: "Brother Jianghu, wait for me, I'll change some money."

.”

"Okay, I'm teasing you, silly girl. Do you want to pay for coming out with me? Put your mother's hairpin away." I couldn't bear to see her stupidly planning to use it as her mother's relic.

He teased her again and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to some noodles!"

"Well, okay, Brother Jianghu."

We didn't go far before we stopped outside an inn. The whole inn was decorated with carved beams and painted tiles, which was very impressive on this street.

I smiled slightly: "That's it."

"Jianghu Inn?" Wang Jiajia said slowly.

"The name makes people feel friendly. It feels like a store opened by me. Haha. Come in."

"Hey, Brother Jianghu, this kind of store is usually expensive, right? Or go to a roadside stall. Look, there is one over there that seems to sell wontons. There is also a pancake vendor on the roadside we just passed by.

"

I smiled and said, "It's not expensive. There are cheap ones there. A bowl of clear soup noodles only costs three pennies. It's enough to satisfy you. It's cheaper than those outside."

"Three cents?" Wang Jiajia followed me into the store hesitantly.

"Waiter, please have a bowl of clear noodle soup." I shouted, picked a seat to the side, put the things on the table, and shook my sore hands.

"I...I'm a little hungry too." Wang Jiajia said in a low voice when she heard me asking for just one bowl.

"Would you like a bowl of clear noodle soup, sir?"

I looked up and said: "Hey, fifth brother, haha, a bowl of clear soup noodles, enough for two people."

"Okay, it looks like you are a regular customer, so I won't tell you the rules."

I smiled: "No need to say more, I know."

The waiter Ah Wu smiled and put down the teapot, glanced at Wang Jiajia, and shouted to the cook: "A bowl of clear soup noodles, enough for two people!"

I took out three copper coins and put them on the table: "Please help me, Fifth Brother, to add another bowl."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Wang Jiajia looked around uncomfortably, not sure whether she was afraid that others would notice the scars on her face, or because she felt uncomfortable sitting in such a high-end restaurant. I understand how she feels. The last time Fatty Wang brought me in to eat noodles, I

is also like this.

"Here comes the clear soup noodles. Please take your time, gentlemen." Ah Wu brought a large bowl of noodles and an ordinary bowl, nodded to us, and took away the three cents.

Wang Jiajia's expression was indeed the same as mine last time: "Three cents, such a big sum? The owner of this shop is no longer making money?"

I took out the chopsticks and gave her a bowl: "Eat it, but don't leave anything behind. If you leave any chopsticks, you will be fined ten times. This is thirty cents."

"Why?"

I took the bowl and took a big bite: "This is a rule, a rule that everyone who eats clear soup noodles must abide by."

"Well, it's a bit bland." Wang Jiajia frowned: "No wonder there aren't many customers in this store. Isn't this a shady store? It deliberately brings people in at low prices, but cooks such unpalatable food.

If you can’t finish the noodles, you’ll be charged thirty cents.”

I swallowed the noodles in my mouth: "Can you eat it?"

"Yeah. It seems that there was a little less salt, but it's still edible. Don't worry, I won't let their evil plot succeed." Wang Jiajia started eating again, and soon half of the noodles in the bowl were gone. She

Then he asked worriedly: "Then... what should we do if someone can't finish the meal and doesn't want to pay thirty cents?"

I smiled and said: "Directly..."

"Send me off! Need more words?" A dark-faced man next to him replied quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he probably realized that he was too loud, so he quickly picked up the noodle bowl and sat down, looking around.

Then he continued: "You know? The relationship between the owner of this inn and the imperial envoy is extraordinary. No one dares to offend! Anyone who breaks the rules of the store will be imprisoned!"
