The years when I was an old man

"why?"

Normally speaking, I might just listen to such words.

But facing Plum Blossom Girl, I still couldn't help asking.

The plum blossom girl pondered for a moment, just about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The plum blossom girl frowned, and asked helplessly:

"Who?"

Zhai Huaiyi's voice came from outside the door:

"The uncle said, it's time for you to rest. Let me send the two guests back!"

Glancing at me, the Plum Blossom Girl suddenly looked sad and lonely.

Suddenly, she got up and stood by the table.

He picked up a brush next to him and dipped it in ink.

On an ordinary playing card, the pen followed the dragon and snake, and wrote two lines of verses:

"For 15 years, I have been a guest in Yundian, half entrusting the sky and half entrusting the king."

After writing, wait for the ink to dry.

The Plum Blossom Girl handed the playing card to Zhang Fan and said:

"When I go back to Nanyue, can you help me pass this playing card to your father? By the way, tell him about the three of us meeting today, is that okay?"

Although Zhang Fan didn't understand what Plum Blossom Girl meant.

But he still took the playing cards and nodded in agreement.

When we went out, Zhai Huaiyi was waiting for us at the door.

We got in the car and looked back.

I saw Zhai Huaiyi actually locked the door.

Then, after saying something to the security guard next to him, he got into the car.

This behavior seemed a little strange to me.

What is the relationship between Plum Blossom Girl and Huo Yuhan?

Why did you lock the door from the outside?

Looking back at Zhang Fan, she was also looking in the direction of the door thoughtfully.

When we went back, it was already evening.

When passing by the ancient town, Zhang Fan suddenly said to Zhai Huaiyi:

"Mr. Zhai, please stop the car!"

"What's the matter, Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Fan looked out the window and said softly:

"I want to go around this ancient town. You just go back directly. I will call a car myself in a while!"

Zhai Huaiyi looked at his watch and said:

"There are not many cars going back to Rongcheng here, most of them are shuttle buses..."

"fine!"

Zhang Fan shook his head, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and said:

"I don't have a car, so I'll just stay in the town for one night. Feel the style of this ancient town!"

Zhai Huaiyi looked back at me again, and asked:

"Then Mr. Chu returns to Rongcheng?"

Zhang Fan didn't intend to invite me at all.

But I remembered that the last time we made a bet, I still had some questions that I didn't ask her.

Thinking of this, I said to her:

"Go shopping together?"

"can!"

The scenery of this ancient town is indeed beautiful.

There are quaint waterwheels, stilted buildings facing the river, and all kinds of unique stone tiles with green steps.

Walking is like walking in a painting.

Because we didn't eat anything that day, Zhang Fan and I felt a little hungry.

So I found a pavilion restaurant in Linxi and ordered a few local specialties.

Like stone-milled longevity bean curd, charred pork knuckle, fried cat cat fish, plus a braised yellow spicy diced.

The restaurant is in the pavilion, and the surrounding wooden windows are wide open.

Facing the wind and looking at the water, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the ancient town.

Glancing at Zhang Fan who was looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, I asked:

"Miss Zhang, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you!"

For Zhang Fan, who is somewhat proud in his bones and comes from a family, I am quite polite.

Zhang Fan then turned her head around, glanced at me, and said directly:

"Mr. Chu, I know I lost to you, and I'm willing to admit defeat. But I think it's such a beautiful scene, let's talk about those dogs and dogs in the rivers and lakes. Don't you think it's a bit of a spoiler?"

It can be felt that Zhang Fan likes this ancient town very much.

When she said this, I had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

After eating for a while, I suddenly heard a timid girl's voice next to me:

"Sister, you are so beautiful..."

Turning around, I saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing by our table.

This girl is very cute, with a round face and big shining eyes, she is looking at Zhang Fan flickeringly.

It's just that she was wearing tattered clothes, and her pretty face was also dirty.

Even the calico shoes on her feet had a hole.

Looking at the food on our table, the little girl couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan immediately asked:

"Little sister, are you hungry?"

The little girl nodded first, but then shook her head again.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Where's your family?"

Looking at Zhang Fan, the little girl held her mouth shut.

I don't know what she thought, but she shook her head aggrieved.

"Then you come here and have dinner with my sister first, and let's talk while eating, okay?"

Zhang Fan looked at the little girl, but I was looking at her.

In my eyes, Zhang Fan was the kind of beauty who is both glamorous and wise.

But her attitude towards the little girl gave her a bit more maternal brilliance.

"Grandma is sick and no one is taking care of her. She hasn't eaten yet, I can't eat!"

As the little girl spoke, tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

Zhang Fan thought for a while, and took out a small wad of cash from his handbag, which looked like it could be worth a thousand or two thousand.

Walking to the little girl, Zhang Fan squatted in front of the little girl and said:

"Well, my sister will ask the boss to make some food for you later, and you can take it home for grandma. As for the money, you can take it back and give it to grandma. Save it for her to see a doctor, okay?"

"Thank you sister!"

The little girl said obediently.

At the same time, she held Zhang Fan's lotus root arm lightly.
