Adviser should be self-improvement

"You want to go?" Xie Fu asked suspiciously, "Go back to Beijing?"

After all, as soon as Qin Ce left, Chu Huaiqing proposed to leave on the back. No wonder Xie Fu would ask such a question.

"No, it's something to go to Ningzhou. To be precise, I'm looking for someone."

Xie Fu: "Male or female?"

Chu Huaiqing twitched her lips slightly: "The man is a general."

Xie Fu was even more puzzled: "What military general needs you to find after the Chinese New Year?"

"You don't need to look for any military generals in New Year's Eve." Chu Huaiqing smiled, "It's just that he has a rare chance to appear, and if he is a few days later, he will probably be abducted by others."

"Abduction?" Xie Fu joked, "Could it be that what you're looking for is a child?"

Chu Huaiqing thought about the disposition of the living preacher, and found that what he said seemed to be true, so he smiled and patted Xie Fu on the shoulder: "Then please help me prepare some snacks for children. "

"Okay, you pay for it, I'll pay for it, and the legs and feet will be paid separately." Xie Fu, who was lying on his back, propped up his body, revealing two white and thin arms from his wide sleeves. Rao means, with such a beauty, even men can't help covering their noses.

It's a pity that Chu Huaiqing was unmoved, and calmly picked up Xie Fu's loose clothes: "How about adding two more pots of wine for you?"

Xie Fu compared three fingers: "Three pots."

"Good good."

Ningzhou is not considered a rich place, but there are two distinct seasons. When it is hot, it is like a fire, and when it is cold, it is like facing a cold abyss.

In three or four days, it will be the New Year. The last batch of people rushing to work have been approved by the shopkeeper, and they will return home early for reunion. People come and go on the street, and the raised corners of their mouths seem to show that no one will be sad in such a festival. .

So is Cao Yuan.

He doesn't seem to feel the atmosphere of the people around him, whether it's joy or sadness, excitement or sadness, there is no wave in his heart, only one thought is filled, that is how to solve today's food and clothing.

He has been hungry for two days.

His thin appearance ruined his chance to do physical work. Some mean shopkeepers waved their hands and said they would not accept children. Before he could explain, they were kicked out of him. Occasionally, he would give him a steamed bun if he met someone who was kind. Let him go home quickly, don't let his parents worry.

But he became an adult last year, and he doesn't have any parents. If the place where he stayed before counts as his home, then he doesn't want to go home.

Eyes as clear as snow faced a white-clothed man who was slowly approaching in front of him, keenly locked onto the candied fruit he held in his hand like a cheetah, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and made a sound of swallowing.

To steal or to rob?

Perhaps it was because Cao Yuan was too obvious, the man was taken aback for a moment, stood still in front of him, looked at the candied fruit in his hand, and then took a few glances at Cao Yuan, who was neatly dressed: "Do you want this?"

Cao Yuan didn't speak, but looked at him with a cold face.

The man blinked, moved the candied fruit up, Cao Yuan’s eyes moved up, moved the candied fruit down, Cao Yuan’s eyes also moved down, up, down, left, and right dozens of times, Cao Yuan snatched the candied fruit, the light-colored With anger in his eyes, he picked one up and threw it into his mouth, trying to puff up his cheeks and stare at him.

The man smiled with his hands behind his back.

Realizing that he had easily eaten something that hadn't been tested for toxicity, Cao Yuan's chewing movements froze. He was stunned for a long time, then stuffed another piece into his mouth with a broken jar, and continued to chew.

"I didn't say I would treat you to eat."

Cao Yuan's mouth froze again, he raised his head innocently, and stuffed the candied fruit back into the man's hand.

"But you have already eaten." The man held the candied fruit, "and ate two."

"I will pay you back." Cao Yuan wiped the corners of his mouth, but his gaze was still wandering. The sweetness of candied fruit relieved the cramps in his stomach, which made him feel a little bit reluctant.

"You don't look like you are rich, so how do you pay for it?" the man said, "Besides, I bought it a few days ago. During the holidays, the candied fruit shop is closed. Even if you are rich, how can you compensate me for the candied fruit? "

Cao Yuan frowned slightly, and had already begun to suspect that the man who came was not kind: "Then what do you want?"

"I want you to accompany me to a place." The man's smile carried a different meaning.

"...Okay." The voice was hoarse and obscure.

Behind them, a carriage wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk came slowly, but was stopped by the owner when it left the intersection.

The guard asked respectfully, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

A corner of the car curtain was raised, and the people inside poked their heads out and looked around, but they didn't see anyone.

"It's nothing." A look of confusion rose in the gloomy eyes, and the eldest prince withdrew his gaze, "I'm overthinking, let's go."

"Yes."

The carriage drove away, unbiased, and rushed towards Beijing.

The man took Cao Yuan to another road, and then turned into an alley. At this point, there was no one in the alley, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the quiet night, as if reminding the two of them that this was an extremely difficult time. Time to do something ulterior.

The man's footsteps slowed down, and the distance between him and Cao Yuan gradually narrowed. The shadow of the backlight fell on Cao Yuan, and Cao Yuan's limbs were tense to the extreme.

He put his hand to his waist.

At this moment, the man who was only one step away from Cao Yuan turned around and quickly stretched out his hand: "Look, then..." The voice stopped abruptly.

In the direction of the man's finger, there is a brightly lit noodle restaurant. Liao Liao's orange light is reflected in Cao Yuan's calm eyes, dispelling vigilance and murderous intent, arousing flickering waves of light.

At the position of the man's neck, there stood a sharp blade, the blade was very close, if it made a further point, it would definitely be able to cut into the man's throat easily.

The man's smile froze, looking at the knife, the arc of his mouth slowly dropped.

He made a quick decision and couldn't see how Cao Yuan moved. Anyway, he waved his arm and retracted it. He put the knife upright in front of the man again. A fly with its abdomen impaled.

Cao Yuan asked dryly, "Do you eat?"

man:"……"

In order to verify the feasibility of his words, Cao Yuan opened his mouth, handed the knife, closed his mouth, and swallowed the fly.

Man: "... spit it out!"

After tossing and tossing for a long time before entering the noodle shop, the proprietress looked at Cao Yuan, who was looking at the sky with empty eyes, and asked Chu Huaiqing, "What's wrong with your brother?"

"He's not my younger brother." Chu Huaiqing rubbed his forehead and looked helplessly at Cao Yuan, "Probably because he 'accidentally' swallowed a fly."

The proprietress thought that Chu Huaiqing was joking, covered her mouth and said cheerfully, "What do you want to eat this time?"

"Two bowls of beef noodles." Chu Huaiqing paused, "One bowl is not spicy."

"okay."

When Chu Huaiqing approached, Cao Yuan moved slightly, sat up and looked straight at him, Chu Huaiqing sighed again, threw the rag in front of Cao Yuan, pointed to the tables and chairs: "Wipe clean."

"Oh."

"Why is the child working?" The proprietress who came to the table stopped in surprise, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't be busy, why are you doing this all of a sudden."

"He asked me to do it." Cao Yuan didn't stop, and wiped carefully.

The only person left in the store was Chu Huaiqing. The proprietress immediately cast a condemning look at Chu Huaiqing. Chu Huaiqing twitched the corner of her mouth and said helplessly, "See how he is doing?"

"No matter what you do, you can't torment the child like this. Look at you... hey, this child is doing really well." The oil stains accumulated in the wood cracks all the year round are gone, and after just a while, it has been wiped off. More than half of the tables and chairs are finished.

"That's fine." Chu Huaiqing clapped his hands, "That one over there, stop for a moment... Yes, it's you, the noodles are ready, come over and eat the noodles first, and then continue after eating."

Cao Yuan shook his nose and followed the scent.

The beef is sweet and warm, the noodles are smooth, and a layer of green onion is sprinkled on top. It is difficult for Cao Yuan to look away at just one glance. When Cao Yuan picked up the chopsticks, Chu Huaiqing really experienced what it was It's called wind and clouds.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you... Boss lady, please bring some hot soup! There will be another... two bowls!"

It was only when Cao Yuan ate the third bowl that his speed gradually slowed down. While sucking the noodles, he looked at Chu Huaiqing who had only eaten two mouthfuls of beef noodles: "Why didn't I put chili in my noodles?"

Chu Huaiqing rolled a chopstick noodle, "Kids eat less spicy food, it's not good for the stomach."

Cao Yuan paused, but decided to tell the truth: "I'm 21."

"......."

"real."

Chu Huaiqing nodded: "Have you not eaten for a while?"

"Hmmm."

"Then you can't eat spicy food."

"Oh."

Cao Yuan continued to suck the noodles, and turned his eyes to the package in Chu Huaiqing's hand inadvertently: "Why don't you give me that, but bring me to eat noodles?"

"What you need is to fill your stomach, how about snacks?" Chu Huaiqing said, "And I also use these candied fruit."

"What's the use?"

"Used to find someone."

"who?"

"I don't know." Chu Huaiqing took a sip of the hot soup, and the hot steam rose up, blurring the expression on his face, but his eyes were always clear, "After all, I have never seen him now, I only know that he is a 20 A man of many years."

"I don't know how to find it." Cao Yuan frowned slightly.

Seeing Cao Yuan's appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Chu Huaiqing laughed, and couldn't help rubbing his opponent's hair: "That's a problem that needs to be solved by me, why do you need to worry? Young people still have to laugh more laugh."

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, reached out to stroke his hair, and did not emphasize too loudly: "I am 21."

"Ok, I know."

"real."

"Yes Yes."

After eating the noodles, without Chu Huaiqing's instructions, Cao Yuan got up on his own initiative and continued to wipe the tables and chairs. Chu Huaiqing asked the proprietress who came to collect the bill: "What does the proprietress think of him?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "He is a diligent young man."

"Is it possible to keep him to work?"

"This one……"

"Business is good here, Madam Boss. I've been here a few times and I've seen that you're too busy. It wouldn't hurt to find a guy who can work quickly." Chu Huaiqing smiled, "Look at this kid's sincerity, just take care of his food and clothing, maybe It will be satisfied, and it will save you the money of hiring a worker."

"Well, it's just...do you two know each other?"

"I don't know each other. It's fate to meet you on the road."

After a while, Cao Yuan came over after wiping the table. Chu Huaiqing briefly explained the matter, and then asked Cao Yuan for his opinion.

Cao Yuan looked at him and didn't say anything for a while, but when Chu Huaiqing asked him if he wanted to have enough food every day, he nodded slightly.

"Then do it well." Chu Huaiqing patted him on the shoulder, "Brother still has to find someone, and he will come to see you when he finds someone."

"……Oh."

Chu Huaiqing took a few steps, Cao Yuan watched him take a few steps, suddenly Chu Huaiqing stopped and turned around: "Have you learned martial arts?"

Cao Yuan nodded.

"Don't hurt people at will."

Keep nodding.

Only then did Chu Huaiqing feel relieved and left.

Cao Yuan stood in front of the noodle shop for a long time, when the proprietress came out to call him, he came back to his senses and followed him back to the shop.
