"Stinky girl, have you never been to Zhicheng before?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Lin Zitong, who was sitting on the berth, shook his head: "People from Rongcheng generally run to the southeast and have more contact with Licheng, Lucheng and Xiangcheng. After all, these are coastal cities with convenient transportation and developed commerce. I used to only go there to discuss business.
Pass through those cities."
Yan Shouyi thought it made sense. Compared with Rongcheng on the coast, Zhicheng is surrounded by mountains. The transportation is not so convenient and the space for development is too small. This is why Rongcheng will eventually become the capital of Jianzhou Province.
.
Since Lin Zitong has never tasted these delicacies, Yan Shouyi will take her to try them.
He walked to the corridor of the carriage and bought a bag of light pancakes and half a salted duck from the hawker who was hawking. During the conversation, he used the local dialect of Zhicheng. The hawker knew that he was from his hometown, and finally gave it to Yan happily.
Guard half of the duck.
Although Rongcheng is not far from Zhicheng, Jianzhou is separated by a hilltop and a dialect, so when Yan Shou heard the hometown dialect, he was particularly kind.
Carrying the salted duck and light cake back, the fragrance immediately attracted everyone. Long Feicheng rushed to get in and said curiously:
"Brother Yan, what is this?"
The Dog Taoist recognized it at a glance: "Oh, light cake and salted duck! Come on, come on, give me two pieces of light cake to try first!"
After sharing the light cake and salted duck with everyone, Yan Shouyi stared at Lin Zitong expectantly. Lin Zitong took a small bite of the crispy light cake, and after a few bites, her eyes lit up: "It's delicious!
"
"That's not true!" Yan Shouyi became proud.
The dog Taoist laughed and said: "The bare cakes we ate at that time were really bare cakes. They were just cakes without meat. Did you see the hole in the middle of the handle? Back then, when we worked in the fields or went far away, we would just eat the bare cakes."
The cakes are tied into a string and hung around the neck. You can take a bite at any time when you are hungry!"
The specialty snacks in every place are inseparable from the lives of ordinary people. There are many stories behind those snacks, and they are also a kind of history.
Yan Qiu sat by the window, looking at the fields and mountains receding in the distance, seemingly without much appetite.
Lin Zitong poked Yan Shouyi with her elbow, handed him a duck leg, and winked.
Yan Shouyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Zitong was so qualified as his daughter-in-law. If Yan Shouyi himself, he would not bother or care about Yan Chou.
So Yan Shouyi took the duck leg and came to Yan Chou:
"Dad, haven't you tasted the taste of hometown for a long time?"
Yan Chou came back to his senses and saw the duck leg in Yan Shou's hand, and knew that Lin Zitong had called him to come and care about him.
If it were not for Lin Zitong, Yan Qiu would probably kick Yan Shou away. As a father, he cannot let his son feel that he is old and needs care and companionship.
But since it was his daughter-in-law's concern, he had to take care of it.
He took the duck leg, smelled it, and praised:
"It has been more than ten years, and the taste of this salted duck has become more and more fragrant."
"I think so too," the Miaoji monk on the side said while holding half a duck and chewing on it.
Long Feicheng couldn't help but ask: "Master Miaoji, don't you abstain from eating meat and fish?"
The dog Taoist laughed and said: "He doesn't even give up lust, but he also gives up meat and fish? Come on, bald donkey, I have wine here, let's have a fist fight?"
As expected, Miaoji didn't give up on anything. She took a sip of duck meat and a sip of white wine, and started fistfighting with the dog Taoist priest.
This made Yan Shouyi and the others stunned.
But they have long been accustomed to these two magical guys, Dog Taoist Priest and Miao Ji.
It can be said that some worldly rules and visions cannot restrict the two of them at all.
It is worth mentioning that the dog Taoist’s old yellow dog failed to get on the train.
So when going through the security check, the dog Taoist directly let the old yellow dog go, and then told the old yellow dog to wait for him in Zhicheng.
Old Yellow Dog is obviously very understanding of human nature and completely understood what the dog Taoist said. However, Yan Shouyi still doesn't know how Old Yellow Dog is going to get to Zhicheng on his own and whether he will encounter dog dealers on the way.
Fortunately, people in Jianzhou don’t like to eat dogs...
"Son, when we arrive in Zhicheng later, you should take Zitong and Xiaolong back to Chenjiacun. Your uncle and I are going to do something." Yan Chou suddenly said.
Yan Shouyi was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just meeting old friends," Yan Qiu said with a smile, "and you young people can't stay with us middle-aged people all day long."
This is indeed true. In front of Yan Qiu and the others, Long Feicheng is quite honest. He can't even hear a word of his usual gossip.
So Yan Shouyi could only nod:
"Our old house has been tidied up and can still be lived in, so I will take them back first. How many days will it take for you to return to the village?"
"It won't be long, if it's quick, it'll only be two days. Anyway, we have mobile phones now, so we can contact you at any time." Yan Qiu replied.
In this way, Yan Shouyi would have no other problems.
But he was still a little curious about what Yan Qiu was going to do.
Finally he figured it out.
After all, my father has been in jail for so many years, and now he is finally out. It is normal to find an excuse to go out and have fun with his brothers...
The green train made a "bang, bang, bang" sound frequently, moving forward on the tracks in the fields.
At sunset, the train stopped at the Chicheng train station.
Yan Shou got out of the car and smelled the familiar air of his hometown, feeling relaxed.
After leaving the station, the two parties separated temporarily. Yan Shouyi took Lin Zitong and Long Feicheng and got on the bus to the town.
After Yan Qiu watched them leave, his eyes gradually became cold.
"Dog Taoist, have you been caught?" Yan Chou asked.
"I caught him. He's in a small hotel nearby." The Dog Taoist nodded.
"Walk."
The three of them walked into a nearby alley and then entered a shabby little hotel.
I went up to the third floor and knocked on the door at the end of the corridor. After a while, someone opened the door.
The person who opened the door was none other than Ah Xiao, Sanlong and Yu Litou who killed Tong Jiuhua and stole Tong Jingcheng's soul.
"Brother." Ah Xiao clasped his fists at Yan Qiu, then moved away, letting Yan Qiu see the other three people in the room.
All three of them had their hands and feet tied, blindfolded, and their mouths gagged.
They heard the noise and squirmed in fear, but to no avail.
Yan Qiu walked into the room, and Miao Ji finally closed the door.
Sanlong brought a chair to Yan Qiu, and Yan Qiu sat in front of the three guys. Yan Qiu stepped forward and took off their blindfolds.
The three of them finally saw their surroundings, but found Yan Qiu sitting in front of them, and their expressions suddenly changed with fright.
"I was released from prison, didn't you expect that?" Yan Qiu said with a smile.
These three people all have tattoos on their bodies and wear gold and silver. They look powerful.
But who knows, more than ten years ago, they were just three little gangsters who only dared to bully honest people.
It was a group of them who bullied Yan Chou's comrade Zhang You, causing Zhang You to die unjustly. Yan Chou went into a rage and killed people at Zhang You's funeral, only killing a few of them. These three gangsters were the ones who slipped through the crackdown that day.
of fish.
Of course the three gangsters knew Yan Chou. After so many years, they thought they were safe and sound, but unexpectedly, Yan Chou was released from prison.
Moreover, Yan Qiu is much more stable this time than more than ten years ago, and he will never do anything like killing people in public again.
But Yan Qiu at this time, in the eyes of the three gangsters, is much more terrifying than it was more than ten years ago.
One of the gangsters was so frightened that he peed on the spot. The other gangster spat out the rag in his mouth and begged for mercy:
"Brother, brother, we were wrong. We have completely changed our minds. Now we are all serious businessmen. There are seniors and juniors..."
Yan Qiu smiled disdainfully:
"That's so good, I almost believe it. You know, my good brother Zhang You was also a serious businessman back then, but he was killed by you in the end."
"Do you think that since I'm in jail, this matter is over? You killed people, and you don't have to take any responsibility, so you can wash your hands and change your mind. What about my good brother, does he have a chance to do it again?"
"He doesn't have it, so you shouldn't have it either."
In fact, these three gangsters have never repented.
During the years when Yan Qiu was imprisoned, not only did they not stop, but they intensified their efforts, using various means to make money, forcing good women to work in the sea, kidnapping coolies to work in black mines, and threatening student loans... All of these can be said to be bad things.
Absolutely!
The crimes they committed were enough to make them die a dozen times.
Therefore, Yan Qiu will not feel the slightest sense of guilt when retaliating against these people.
He waved, and the three dragons stood behind the three of them. The cold murderous intent stung the backs of the three of them.
The three of them were so frightened that they could not speak.
They know that there is only death behind them.
Yan Qiu lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said softly:
"I came here specially just to watch you die with my own eyes."
