[Ancient Dan] Meet the Lord

The next morning, Sun Chu brought hot porridge and side dishes upstairs for Zheng Yu, and asked her when it would be appropriate to leave Dead Leaf Town.

"Go? I didn't say I'm going!" Zheng Yu raised his eyebrows and said.

Sun Chu changed his expression, stood up and said, "But it was clearly agreed yesterday..."

Zheng Yu didn't take it seriously: "What yesterday? I didn't say yesterday that I was going to leave today! I see, this small town is very interesting, and the owner and waiter of this inn are also very interesting. You can enter. I want to stay here for a few more days, if you don’t want to, you can go back by yourself.”

Sun Chu was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Zheng Yu acted as if nothing happened. He drank two mouthfuls of porridge and ran out of the room to go downstairs.

Xiao Chonger, who was sweeping the floor, saw Zheng Yu coming down, and quickly smiled, saying hello: "Good morning, ma'am. Do you want to check out? That's unfortunate, our shopkeeper went out to buy vegetables, I’m not coming back so soon, I’m afraid I’ll ask you to wait.”

"Oh, I'm not leaving, I want to stay here for a few more days." Zheng Yu said with a smile, after thinking about it, she felt strange, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't the cook doing the grocery shopping? "

This question made Xiao Chong'er a little embarrassed: "As you can see, our inn is short of manpower, and there are many things... It is inevitable that the shopkeeper will do it himself."

Zheng Yu understood.

Xiao Chonger asked: "Madam, would you like a pot of hot tea?"

Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The weather is quite cold, so let's have a pot."

After a while, a small figure came to serve Zheng Yu tea.

Zheng Yu caught a glimpse of her small size and clean and fair face, and said "ah" in surprise: "You are Xiao Wan? So you look so beautiful!"

The little girl has a fair complexion, a red mole between her eyebrows, and her facial features are very beautiful. She was wearing a coarse cloth jacket, and she put the teapot on the table. Hearing Zheng Yu's praise, she pursed her lips shyly and smiled embarrassedly. , After thanking him shortly, he continued to work.

Ever since Zheng Yu saw the clean Xiao Wan, she felt that the inn had become more interesting: such a beautiful girl, thanks to the kindness of the shopkeeper who was willing to keep her, otherwise, it would be a pity to be left outside.

After more than an hour, the shopkeeper came back with a bamboo basket of vegetables and two jars of wine, Xiao Chonger hurried up to help.

Zheng Yu glanced over and saw the flowered robe the shopkeeper was wearing, she laughed coquettishly: "Shopkeeper, it seems that you were dressed more gorgeously yesterday, and today is another flowery robe, I haven't asked you yet What's your surname, seeing that you always like to dress so fancy, isn't your surname Hua?"

It just so happened that Sun Chu came down from the stairs and heard him frown and said, "Xiao Yu, don't be rude!"

The shopkeeper is pretty and handsome, but it is because of the floral gown and makeup that he looks a bit girly, but he looks feminine, like a calculating person, but he is actually very open-minded. He heard Zheng Yu He was not angry at the words, but instead replied with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Sun is really smart. My surname is indeed Hua. Everyone in the town loves her, and they usually call him 'Boss Hua'."

Can you guess like this?Zheng Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded for a moment, then clapped his hands happily and said, "Then I'll call you Boss Hua from now on, okay?"

Shopkeeper Hua looked at the couple and said with a smile, "In the future? Aren't Mr. Sun and his wife leaving today? If you want to call me Boss Hua, you really can't say a few words."

"Who said you have to leave? I want to stay here for a few more days." Zheng Yu pressed a silver coin onto the counter, "Pay ten taels first, and pay when you don't have enough."

Shopkeeper Hua looked up at Sun Chu, who was silent behind Zheng Yu, with a smile in his eyes, reached out and took the ingot of silver, and said, "Okay, you can stay as long as you like, I'm too happy, what's the matter?" If you need it, just ask for it.”

While talking, two people walked into the inn, well, maybe this is not the right description——

There were indeed two people who came, a middle-aged strong man, and a long-haired girl with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, but the Jingxiu girl was pushed in by the strong man in a wheelchair.

There are several stone steps outside the inn, and they came in so easily. The wheelchair looked solid, and Zheng Yu looked at the person coming, thinking, this strong man really has some strength.

"Shopkeeper, we want two rooms." The strong man said.

Shopkeeper Hua blinked, thought quickly, and quickly responded: "Guest, we do have rooms here, but they are all on the second floor. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for the girl to go upstairs and downstairs."

"It's okay." The man didn't say anything, but the girl in the wheelchair spoke first. She had a pleasant expression on her face and a gentle and pleasant voice, "My elder brother can carry me."

Shopkeeper Hua felt more at ease, and asked again: "How do you call the two of you?"

The strong man said: "My name is Lin Huo, and this is my sister Lan Cui."

Shopkeeper Hua nodded, took a pen to register, glanced upstairs, and said, "Then the first and second rooms on the second floor on the right."

Lin Huo nodded: "Thank you shopkeeper, please trouble shopkeeper to prepare some light meals and bring them upstairs."

The shopkeeper was about to answer, but Miss Lan Cui said, "Brother, I want to sit downstairs."

Without any hesitation, Lin Huo turned around and said to Shopkeeper Hua, "You don't need to carry it upstairs, you can eat it in this hall."

Xiao Chonger was agile, and quickly agreed to the side: "Okay! Please wait a moment, my guests."

When it came to food, Zheng Yu also felt a little hungry, so she stopped Xiao Chong'er and asked, "Can your cook know how to make cakes and other snacks?"

Xiao Chonger shook his head, and replied embarrassedly: "Our cooks never make dim sum."

Zheng Yu seemed a bit disappointed.

Miss Lan Cui saw it, smiled lightly, and said to Xiao Chonger: "I can't make dim sum, but steamed eggs are always good, right? I want another bowl of steamed eggs."

"I want it too!" Zheng Yu hurriedly said, she glanced at Sun Chu, then hesitated for a moment, "Give me...give me two bowls, and the food will be served together."

Shopkeeper Hua propped her face comfortably behind the counter and smiled, not forgetting to ask Xiao Wan to carry a bundle of firewood to the kitchen first.

Lin Huo pushed Lan Cui to sit at a square table in the hall.

Shopkeeper Hua stopped his calculations, raised his head and asked, "How long do Brother Lin and Miss Lin plan to stay in the shop?"

"Wrong." Lin Huo corrected in a muffled voice, "Lan Cui is my righteous sister, her surname is not Lin."

Lan Cui turned her head and smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper Hua: "Treasurer, my surname is Lan, 'Lan' from 'Anzhi Tinglan', 'Cui' from Sima Xiangru's "Ode to the Nagato" in "The Emerald Wings Come to Cuixi" , if you want to write my name, don't write it wrong."

Shopkeeper Hua was embarrassed, and said "sorry" several times in a hurry.

Zheng Yu looked at the quiet and beautiful girl Lan Cui and expressed emotion: "Not only is she good-looking, but she is also very knowledgeable. This girl Lan Cui is really a wonderful person..."

Sitting next to his wife, Sun Chu said, "Boss Hua is also a wonderful person. An ordinary merchant shopkeeper, how would he know Sima Xiangru's "Ode to the Nagato", let alone the sentence in it, "The emeralds come from the wings and come to pick you up." How to write the word 'cui' in '."

Zheng Yu puffed his face: "I'm glad you know, but I'm not happy that others know?"

Turn your face away after speaking, and ignore Sun Chu again.

After dinner, because Lan Cui loves cleanliness very much, Lin Huo was worried, so he first went upstairs to look at the room, and then went in to clean it with water. He asked Lan Cui to stay downstairs alone for a while.

Others didn't pay much attention to when Miss Lan Cui went to the door.

When Zheng Yu saw it, Miss Lan Cui's shawl had fallen to the ground. She walked over to help her pick it up, and found that she was staring at the archway in the distance. up.

"What is Miss Lan Cui looking at?" Zheng Yu smiled and put the shawl over her shoulders.

"Oh, thank you." Lan Cui came back to her senses and looked away. She lowered her head and caressed her knees covered with blankets. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she said in a low voice, "I, I am waiting for an old friend. , he invited me here and said, maybe there is a way to heal my leg..."

Zheng Yu stared at her legs and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with your legs?"

Lan Cui raised her head, and a soft smile floated on her quiet and beautiful face: "It's nothing, it's just that someone stabbed me with a sharp weapon more than ten years ago."

An understatement, Zheng Yu was so frightened, she didn't understand why Miss Lan Cui could say such a light word "it's nothing", maybe that old man could indeed heal her leg and make her no longer depressed?Anyway, she still felt a shiver in her back.

"Lan Cui." Lin Huo came downstairs and called her, "The room has been cleaned, go and rest for a while."

Lan Cui nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Chong'er was not in the living room, the shopkeeper Hua called Xiao Wan while rolling up his sleeves, and was about to help.

"Thank you, no need." Lin Huo pushed the wheelchair to the side of the stairs, and succinctly reached out his hand to stop them.

Lan Cui turned her head, looked at Zheng Yu, smiled softly, and said softly to her, "Girl, I really envy you."

Zheng Yu didn't expect her to say such a sentence, and was immediately stunned.

A rope was embedded in the back of the wheelchair, Lin Huo squatted down, and carried the entire wheelchair and the person on it back up.

"Wow, this big brother is so powerful!" Xiao Wan said in a low voice while hiding behind shopkeeper Hua.
