Laughing at Chang'an

There seemed to be a wind blowing outside, the leaves were rattling, and the fire was burning under the stove. Rong Hu took a ladle of water, poured it into the iron pot, and then poured another ladle.He stood by the stove waiting for the water to boil, with a bag of dried noodles on the chopping board next to him, which was one of the only edible things he found in this kitchen.

Next to the dried noodles were a few eggs. He wanted to find some vegetables to accompany the soup, but he couldn't find any.

Although Rong Hu was born as a young master, he was born of a concubine after all, and he was often looked down upon in that family.His mother asked Master Rong to open a small stove, which saved him from making things difficult for him at the table. He watched his mother make the stove and cook, and helped him learn a little bit, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy one day.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"You can still laugh."

When Feng He's voice came from the door, Rong Hu was taken aback. He turned around and saw a man leaning on the door frame with his arms folded in front of his chest, with a tired face—yes, he had been guarding for two whole days without sleep or rest. Three nights, even an iron man will be tired.For some reason, Rong Hu has a much better sense of Feng He than Li Shen, perhaps because the other party saved him at a critical moment, or maybe he simply resented Li Shen because of Master Rong's death...

"Are you hungry?" Rong Hu asked with some concern, "I'm cooking noodles, it will be ready soon."

Feng He didn't answer, put down his arms and walked into the kitchen, went to the cupboard to get three sets of bowls and chopsticks, cleaned them, and put them one by one by the side of the pot.Rong Hu didn't expect him to do this, he was surprised but also a little touched, presumably the other party knew that his hands were inconvenient to get wet, so he did it on purpose.

Thinking of his broken right hand, Rong Hu couldn't help but look sad. The part above the wrist was completely gone, and he could only use a prosthesis in the future. He subconsciously covered the severed limb wrapped in gauze, feeling a little dazed in his heart.

"The position of your broken hand is good." Feng He said suddenly, "Although it may be inconvenient in life, you can still fight with the stabbing blade. I suggest you take the assassin's route."

Assassin, huh?

"If you have no place to go after this, just follow me." Feng Hedao sat down at the square table in the kitchen, "I'm not very good at taking care of people, but at least I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing. If you want to learn the skills of an assassin , I can teach you too."

Rong Hu was overjoyed, and immediately said yes, he also thought about what he would do in the future, if Feng He was willing to take him with him, that would be the best.

While the two were talking, there was a loud noise outside the house, Feng He immediately frowned, got up and walked outside.

There are people in the yard.

Li Shen was wearing a plain white filial robe, kneeling on one knee, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.And his right hand is holding a person, the other person is standing on the ground well, wearing a plain sarong, with a white gauze around his face, it is Haitang.

Speaking of it, it was Li Shen's own fault - he gathered so many people around outside, it didn't matter to him alone, but with Haitang, it was hard to show up in front of people.So he simply hugged Haitang and fell from the sky. Considering that he had to break the protective cover, he used a little more force.In the end, Feng He removed the protective cover three layers in order to save Yuanjing, which caused him to use too much force and was unable to recover, so he...

"Yo, kneeling."

Feng He came out of the kitchen, happened to see this scene, and he did not hesitate to mend Li Shen's wound.Li Shen, who was indeed kneeling, took Haitang's hand, stood up silently, patted the dust on his trouser legs, and showed a small look of "too lazy to know as much as you".

"I'll bring Begonia to offer incense sticks." Li Shen let go of Begonia's hand and explained to Feng He, "Also, she said she would make filial piety clothes for you, and I'll come and take measurements later."

Feng He frowned, and said: "Of course I can trust the craftsmanship of my brother and sister, but will there be enough time? Will it be too hard?"

"In time." It wasn't Li Shen who answered, but Haitang, her veiled eyes looked at Feng He quietly, making people unconsciously want to believe, "It's something I can do, it won't be hard."

Feng He looked at her for a long while, showing off his face and smiling.

He smiled at Haitang and cupped his hands: "Then there will be brothers and sisters."

In the mourning hall, there was still only one bright lamp on, and it was very dim. Li Shen sent Haitang to the door, and then stopped.He watched her walk to the coffin, light incense, kowtow, and her gaze quietly rested on the black coffin, without moving away for a long time.

Yang Huxing turned into heaven and earth, without leaving even his ashes, he really disappeared from this world.It's not that Li Shen can't accept this fact, but he still doesn't have any real feelings... He always feels that the other party seems to be still by his side, never leaving.

Ten years later, that lonely and helpless boy had friends and a wife, and took root in Chang'an City.But the elder brother who had always protected him, loved him and taught him was gone.

Li Shen reached out to hold the door frame, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Putting a hand gently on his cheek, Haitang stood in front of him and whispered: "Let's go."

She pulled him away from the door, went back to the courtyard, and went to Feng He and the other three to take measurements.It was the first time for Ronghu to see Haitang. Although her face was covered with white gauze, he couldn't see her features, but those eyes made him stunned for a long time.After Haitang finished measuring the size, she went back to the courtyard to find Li Shen. The two rushed to Fenghe to say goodbye, and then jumped out of the small courtyard just like when they came here.

Back on the roadside to pick up the car, Haitang said that he was going to buy fabrics, so Li Shen drove to Dongyangji.

The Dongyang Collection at night is still very lively. There is a saying in front that Dongyang Collection is a circle, a big circle and a small circle. There are three floors inside and outside.Li Shen originally planned to drive Haitang around the outer circle, find a store and buy something, and then leave, but when he got to the field, he realized that he was too naive. He saw that the driveway of the outermost circle of Dongyang Ji was full of large and small trucks, unloading. Loading, the speed of the entire traffic is like a snail crawling.At this speed, if Li Shen dared to drive the car in, he might not be able to get out in the middle of the night.

So he had no choice but to park the car outside, get out of the car with Haitang and walk.

There were people everywhere, merchants dragging carts, groups of tourists, and mercenaries like Li Shen who came shopping with their relatives.Now that he had got off the car, Li Shen took Haitang directly to the inner circle on the third floor. All the old shops in Quanfang Ludu were there, and Haitang rarely came out, so he would not be stingy Spend her money.

After being rushed away several times by the rushing crowd, Li Shen finally stretched out his hand to hold Haitang.He dutifully acted as a meat shield in front to open the way, but he didn't see her slightly curved eyes behind her.

In fact, Li Shen has also discovered that Haitang's attitude has changed. Like before, she will not worry about these things, and it is even more unlikely that she will offer to help him. Although he does not know the reason for this change, at least it is not a matter. bad thing.

The two of them floated like a flat boat in the sea of ​​people, and they finally came to a cloth shop. The shop was called Qianjin Duan. Li Shen had never heard of it, but he only knew of a famous weapon shop like Baibinge Zhuquelou. , so I have no say in this.Haitang looked at him, let's talk about it, she was also made uncomfortable by this crowded place, wishing she could finish her business and leave early.

The interior decoration of the store is quite luxurious, Li Shen looked up at the five-meter-high crystal lamp on the zenith, and thought that if it fell, it would kill everyone.He followed behind Haitang, watched her carefully select the fabric, and said casually: "It's a rare visit, if you like it, you can buy it."

When the shopping guide at the side heard what he said, his eyes lit up immediately, and he introduced Haitang enthusiastically.Li Shen just listened to her bragging, and couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard "the best shark silk woven by the Merman Princess of the South China Sea".

"Little girl, merman's silk is not made of weaving." He smiled and said to the little shopping guide, "It's the layer of skin that falls off from live mermans in boiling water. The so-called top-quality merman refers to The younger the merman, the thinner and smoother the layer of skin shed off his body..."

Haitang tugged at his sleeve, not telling him to continue talking, while the shopping guide on the other side was already pale, looking like he really wanted to find a place to vomit.

In the end, Haitang chose two pieces of cloth in the store, and Li Shen took them to pay the bill. The two pieces of cloth cost more than 1 yuan. He didn't bring that much cash, so he took out his checkbook and wrote it now.However, when the shopkeeper took his bank note, his face changed slightly, and he returned it respectfully.

Li Shen frowned, and said displeasedly, "You don't accept bank notes?"

"No no." The shopkeeper shook his head violently, showing a smiley face, "I mean, you don't have to pay, just take whatever you like."

"Huh?" Li Shen was confused for no reason. He really didn't know that his face was so big that he didn't need to spend money to buy things.Seeing his surprised look, the shopkeeper passed the bank note forward again, and Xiaoyi explained to him——

"Master Shen, our daughter's satin is originally your property."

……oh.

Li Shen took back the bank note and put it back in the banknote in a dumb manner, his mood was indescribably delicate.His feelings are being ostentatiously placed on his own head, and any store he enters can be under his own name, it's really fate...

"puff."

Haitang, who was standing beside her, let out a chuckle and attracted Li Shen's attention. He widened his eyes slightly, and saw her eyes exposed outside the veil, bent into a pair of crescent moons.

Hey, Nengbo beauty smiles, and it's worth making a fool of yourself.

Li Shen was in a good mood immediately, and patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder to encourage him to do a good job. With one hand, he held two pieces of cloth under his armpit, and with the other hand, he led Haitang, and walked out of the shop proudly.When he went outside, he saw a lantern seller across the street again, so he pulled Haitang and squeezed past, bought an eight-petal lotus lantern, and held it in her hand.

He said to Haitang: "If you get separated, you just hold up the lamp, and I will definitely find you."

Haitang narrowed her eyes, suddenly leaned closer, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

"it is good."
