Copper Coins

It’s just that the notice was issued in a very weird way. There was nothing under the portrait except a simple description of his facial features and age. He didn’t even say what the person in the portrait had done or why he was looking around like this. He only said vaguely that this person was very dangerous. If you see it, you must notify the government to capture it alive, and don't act rashly.

Jiang Shining and the others looked at each other, stunned for a while, then lowered their heads to study the portrait again——

"The eyes are smaller than the master's." Shi Zhang held back for a long time, and while he was talking, he tried to find other differences in the portrait.After pausing for a while, he noticed that he was poking at the end of the eyebrow of the portrait like a mainland and said: "Look carefully, there is a small mole dotted here, the master does not have a mole here, and the bridge of the nose is slightly lower than the master."

Xue Xian glanced at the so-called small mole at the end of the eyebrow. To be honest, it might just be the hand of the person who drew the portrait shaking.

Instead, Jiang Shining clicked on the text under the portrait and said, "Don't just stare at the painting, look here. I have emphasized here again, this monk has very high cheekbones and a slightly hooked nose."

As soon as he finished speaking, four pairs of eyes stared at Xuan Min's cheekbones and nose.

Xuan Min: "..."

He was not used to such unobstructed gazes, and he frowned slightly, and with that cold face, he seemed more and more unfriendly.

Jiang Shining and the others shyly looked away, but Xue Xian, who was not afraid of Xuan Min at all, went directly to him and pushed Xuan Min's face to the other side so that he could see the side more clearly. No hook."

Xuan Min pushed his lawless claws away, still staring at the portrait with a frown.

"Don't say anything else, just look at the expression of the master. It doesn't look like the person you are looking for in this notice. How can you be so ignorant if you really committed a crime? That's too good for acting!" Shitou Zhang in this line The status among people is at the bottom, so as soon as you catch a chance, you will start to flatter, "Besides, although the person in this portrait is somewhat similar to the master, he looks fiercer than the master, and his facial features are not as decent as the master—— "

He dragged his voice, and didn't dare to point out Xuan Min's face, but carefully raised his finger to express, "Just look at this face, how could he be such a vicious person."

When he was explaining, Xue Xian snorted in his heart: How can this bald donkey's ignorant appearance be used for acting? As for his problem of losing memory when he doesn't agree with a word, even if he really committed something, he might have forgotten it. It's gone, of course I don't know why I was arrested.but……

The aquiline nose and high cheekbones really don't match, and the portrait only has a frontal face, which doesn't show these two points.

He was pondering and muttering in his heart, when the low-pitched whispers from a table not far away poured into his ears.Xue Xian glanced at it calmly.

"Is this monk similar to the person on the notice?" One of them glanced at Xuan Min and whispered in the other's ear.

It's just that Xue Xian's ears are so strong that he can hear the whisper clearly.

"I've been watching him since he just entered the door, but it's definitely not." Another person replied in a low voice, "Our county is the closest to the ferry, and there are people coming and going every day. How many monks passing by have been sent to the government It’s not that you didn’t see it, but the one from the day before yesterday, it looks like it was drawn from a painting, the government officials rejected it, and the person you’re looking for needs to have higher cheekbones—”

The man curled his lips slightly towards Xuan Min, "This cheekbone is not as high as yesterday's one, don't even think about it, besides, the monk who was really suspicious was caught by the guards at the city gate earlier, how can we wait until now?" Wait! Isn’t my brother-in-law working in the Yamen? Yesterday I heard that the people above added some other descriptions, and this notice will have to be replaced with a new one in two days.”

"Changed again?! This notice has been changed three times in the past half a month. Is it still accurate? Who can change the shape as it grows?"

"Who knows!" The man shook his head and said, "In the past, people in the county always looked twice at the monk when they saw the monk. After changing it twice, do you think how many people are still meddling in this business?"

After reading the notice and listening to what these two people said, Xue Xian finally understood why the guards at the city gate had stared at Xuan Min a few times, and finally waved them away.

For those who don't know Xuan Min, the differences between those people and the portraits are enough to rule out Xuan Min. He will be bluffed by his temperament first, and then he will notice his appearance.People with this kind of temperament don't seem to be able to do big treacherous things.

But Xue Xian was different from those strangers, he also knew the other side of Xuan Min--unfathomable spells and incomplete memory.

A person who is only slightly similar to the portrait and has many differences in details, people tend to tend not to be the same person.

But if a person not only looks somewhat similar to the portrait, but also has an unknown origin, is unfathomable, has strange problems on his body, and for some reason forgets the past and the past... so many things gather on one person. Can it be explained by just a coincidence that they look alike?

Tsk-isn't it?

Xue Xian narrowed his eyes, stared at Xuan Min while taking a sip of hot tea.It's just that Xuan Min himself has been looking at the portrait, never paying attention to his gaze.

"Guest officer, here's your dish—" The waiters in this shop are all trained, with a wooden plate in one hand, four dishes can be placed on it, and it can be served steadily without spilling any soup. come out.

It's just that the Xiaoer who came to deliver food to Xue Xian and the others was different from the one who served them tea and food.Generally, there are some unwritten rules in the store. Whoever greets the guests at this table from the moment they enter the store will always be him, and they will rarely change people in the middle, because if they meet a generous master, they will serve you with good gestures and smooth mouth. Sweet, maybe I can charge a few copper coins for running errands.

"Huh? Where's that little brother just now?" Shitou Zhang couldn't keep his mouth shut, he wanted to talk about everything, and when he saw the waiter serving food on the table, he asked.

The shop waiter smiled and said: "Oh, when Qi Jin was serving dishes in the back kitchen, he was scalded by the earthen pot. He was afraid that the service would not be thorough, so he asked me to replace him. The steamed pork just came out of the pot, and it was a little hot. Be careful."

He said "use it slowly" and backed away with a smile on his back.

The people at the table didn't think much, besides, they were hungry for a whole day, and it was fine if they didn't see anything to eat. As soon as the hot dish was served, the aroma mixed with the misty heat rushed to their faces, and all the gluttons who had been holding back for a day were immediately hooked , Just around the corner, who has the brains to think about anything else.

Because he was fooled by Xuan Min once, Xue Xian ordered all the dishes this time.

The steamed meat is glutinous and crispy, the crock pot chicken soup is rich, and the stewed mountain noodles are clear and neat. A plate is full. Bite is a beef bun with hot soup...

Shi Zhang, who was about to become a starving ghost, felt that he was so happy that he almost fainted, and even Lu Nianqi couldn't help swallowing.

"Why do you know which restaurant has its signature dishes?" Jiang Shining, a wild ghost, sat in the darkest corner, unable to eat with chopsticks. Looking at the hot food, he felt resentful in his heart. He can run on Xue Xian in a lukewarm manner.

"Stop putting on a grave-like face." Xue Xian raised his chin, "Just... just smell it."

When he used to have good legs and feet, although he didn't like to hang out in the market for a long time, he was familiar with restaurants and restaurants everywhere in the world.Every time he finished his work, he could go from south to north and from east to west by tossing and turning in the clouds with his footsteps.But he was in a hurry to go, but he was never in a hurry to return. He always liked to pick some county towns along the way to settle down and eat some unknown delicacies.

Even though he became half-paralyzed in the past six months, he never treated himself badly. He tried his best to get someone to get him some famous food to eat. As a result... ever since he met Xuan Min, he has been inexplicably living for two years. It takes three days to have a good meal, who to reason with?

Thinking of this, he became a little angry, and moved his chopsticks more frequently, as if he wanted to eat back the missed rings.

Xuan Min was still focused on the notice at first, but the ancestor next to him moved too much, chopstick after chopstick without resting, which made him unable to continue thinking, so he had to fold the notice and put it away.

This shop is very honest, each dish is very generous, there is a big pot full of tamales, and the mountain mushroom tofu soup is even more like bringing up the pot.

Xuan Min took a cursory glance and felt that the entire table would be eaten, and several of them would have to be eaten.

He himself always ate very little, scooped up a small cup of tofu soup, and ate spoonful by spoonful slowly, which contrasted sharply with Xue Xian next to him.

After Xuan Min finished eating the small cup of tofu soup, he put down the spoon.

"Are you eating cat food? Can you be full with just two bites?" Xue Xian asked.

Xuan Min glanced at his table—the meat bones and chicken bones were almost piled up, and this ancestor was not honest at all, he probably felt that it was too much for him to vomit so many bones by himself, and he used chopsticks to make another He turned half of one end and pushed in the direction of Xuan Min, pretending that there were two piles.

Xuan Min: "..."

Have you ever seen a monk who can spit out chicken bones and meat bones?

Shitou Zhang and the others watched Xue Xian finish sucking the crispy meat off a chicken bone, and while Xuan Min turned his head, it seemed to be casually placed on the pile towards Xuan Min.

When Xuan Min glanced over again, he found that his pile was far ahead of the other pile.

As if anyone is stupid enough to believe it...

Jiang Shining cupped his hands at Xue Xian, "Admiration."

Xue Xian ignored him.

No matter how hungry the other people were, their appetites were just that of an ordinary person, so just as Xuan Min expected, when half of the food on this table was eaten, they couldn't make it through.But Xue Xian never stopped chopsticks.

He is not bad at eating, he looks not in a hurry, he is gentle and lazy, with his face, it can be regarded as pleasing to the eye.but……

This ancestor ate enough!

Not to mention that he ate up the whole table, he even ordered an extra crock pot stewed chicken from the store, and ate it slowly on his own.

Xuan Min frowned as he watched him eat the last bit, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you still stand up straight?" The implication...are you too good at eating?

"Anyway, I'm not walking straight by myself. You might as well worry about whether your hands are strong enough." Xue Xian was hugged a lot when getting out of the car along the way. It’s just a taste, but if you really want to talk about it, if you pack ten and put them in a cage, I can swallow all of them. I’m already restrained, understand?”

While talking, he gestured to Xuan Min's size and cage, his oily fingers passed in front of Xuan Min a few times.

"..." Xuan Min expressionlessly picked up the hot cloth towel on the table, wrapped it around the paw, pressed it back on the table, and said, "Wipe it clean before moving."

Xue Xian said angrily, "You're the only one who has too many things to do..."

The snow will not stop at night, and the rented carriage will not be able to drive here until tomorrow morning.They booked a few rooms in the inn, and planned to rest here for a night, and then set off for Qingping County after dawn. First, they went to find Jiang Shining's elder sister, rescued her parents, and then followed Lu Erqi's divination. , Looking for the person who tied Shi Zhang.

When a few people went upstairs, Xue Xian glanced over and saw a person standing at the corner from the back of the stairs leading to the back kitchen.

Seeing his bandaged fingers, Xue Xian remembered that this was the waiter who first greeted them, what was his name...

Oh, by the way, it seems to be called Qijin, probably because the birth weight is used as a nickname so that it is easy to support.

The waiter in the store met Xue Xian's eyes, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded somewhat restrainedly, turned around and turned into the back kitchen in a hurry.

Xue Xian didn't take it to heart, he was thinking about another matter - because he was handicapped, it would be troublesome to get up at night, so Xuan Min shared a room with him and took care of him.This is just right, he just wanted to ask Xuan Min about his amnesia in detail, so as to find out if the man the government wants to arrest is this bald donkey.

When they went upstairs and settled down in the room, in the corner of the back kitchen, the waiter named Qijin was touching his burned fingers and talking to the black-skinned waiter who replaced him.

"Are you sure?" Hei Pi Xiaoer lowered his voice and asked.

"I've only seen that once..." Qi Jin hesitated for a while, and said, "Besides, you know, the national teachers who returned to sacrifice to heaven were all wearing masks, and they couldn't see their faces at all, only their eyes were exposed. I At that time, I was standing in front of me, but I was pushed and shoved again, and almost bumped into the heaven worshiping procession. The national teacher... the national teacher glanced at me at that time, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to move. How should I put it——

He gestured with some embarrassment: "You will never forget those eyes looking at you once in your life. I was in a cold sweat. When the guest glanced at me just now, I felt the same way. Soft."

"But—" Hei Pi Xiaoer was still a little dubious.

"Besides, although I haven't seen the appearance of the national teacher, I stared at the back. I will never forget that scene and that appearance. Just now, the guest who saw me no matter whether it was the back view or the walking posture Exactly the same!"

"It doesn't make sense, is it true that the national teacher can come to our place? Besides, didn't everyone say that the national teacher went to retreat?"

"You said, the notices all over the street recently are looking for a monk, who is a bit like the guest just now, will it be..."

Heipi Xiaoer thought for a while with a sad face, and said, "Forget it, why don't we just go to the yamen before the shop closes?"
