Stay alive

This is not a big city, because it occupies the main road leading to the capital, traders coming and going are stationed here to do business, and the scene on weekdays is quite lively.

Lin Qiannan said that taking Xing Wu for a stroll was really just a stroll, from the south of the city to the north of the city, looking through the shops along the road like a girl.

Lin Qiannan didn't know what he was shopping for. He always felt that the place was very humane, and the hundreds of emotions on hundreds of faces might be able to infect him.

"Aren't you too annoying?" Lin Qiannan shook a rattle in front of Xing Wu.

Xing Wu shook his head and said, "It's not annoying, you can visit as long as you want."

The peddler said with a playful smile, "Young master, if you don't like this rattle, you can look at other things. Besides children's toys, there are many interesting things in the small shop."

Lin Qiannan put down the rattle, walked around a square table, then picked up a dagger with a leather sheath, looked at it, and asked the vendor: "Your dagger is pretty good, it doesn't seem like you can make it of."

The peddler glanced at the dagger in his hand in puzzlement, his shrewd eyes dangling from side to side, and he said with a smile, "This is a worthless gadget that was exchanged with other peddlers. If the guest officer likes it, you can pay me a tael .”

A tael of silver is not a small amount among the folks, and peddlers who know goods can also know people.

From the texture of the dagger, it can be seen that it was produced in the southern country. As for how the peddler in the Yu country got it, there is no way to verify it.

Lin Qiannan took out a tael of silver to buy this lightweight dagger, but he didn't prepare it for himself, so he gave it to the unarmed Xing Wu.

"Take self-defense." Lin Qiannan said.

Xing Wu took it without hesitation, "Do you trust me?"

"You don't have to wait until now to kill me." Lin Qiannan walked to another house.

Lin Qiannan bought another set of light yellow brocade robes for Xing Wu, and Xing Wu looked much more energetic after putting on the new clothes.

"Tomorrow is the [-]th day of the eighth month. Please give the guest a small change. You are welcome to come again next time." The charming proprietress gave Lin Qiannan a sneaky look.

Lin Qiannan settled the bill with a smile, and Xing Wu looked sullenly at the proprietress, who was caught by his eyes and immediately cast her winking eyes elsewhere.

Lin Qiannan slowed down, "August [-]th is Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"

"Hmm." Xing Wu held his breath before making a sound, which sounded a bit gloomy.

"It has nothing to do with me. I haven't celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in many years." Lin Qiannan stretched, "Do you know about Xunmenglou?"

"What is Xunmenglou?" Xing Wu's intuition told him that this is not a good place.

Lin Qiannan looked around and walked towards the sparsely populated place. Where he stopped, there were several beautiful girls flaunting their heads to attract guests.

No one came to the Xunmeng Tower in the afternoon, usually at night it was a brightly lit place of leisure, the poor girls mostly entertained rich businessmen with fat heads and big ears, and it was rare to see people like Lin Qiannan and Xing Wu. Handsome guest.

Lin Qiannan did not evade their enthusiasm, and let them lead him into the private room.Xing Wu gave way three times, enduring the urge to slap them flying and followed Lin Qiannan.

After entering the private room, Lin Qiannan asked the girls to go down and prepare wine and food.

Xing Wu's face was not very good-looking, "How do you know about Xunmenglou?"

Since Lin Qiannan met him, he could describe him as inseparable. Naturally, he had no chance to get to know the charming Xunmenglou.

"I have good hearing," Lin Qiannan said while touching his ears, "I heard other people chatting while you were changing."

"Why do you come here to wait for... a place of marinating." Xing Wu was very disdainful of this place, and his words were sullen and angry.

Based on what he knew about Han Qi, Lin Qiannan certainly knew why he was angry, it was simply because bringing him to this kind of place would tarnish his reputation.

Life is almost gone, what reputation do you want!

Lin Qiannan smiled slightly, "What are you here for? Of course I'm here for fun."

Xing Wu forgot about the epidemic, and really thought it was for fun, "You...you...why do you want to have fun here?"

Lin Qiannan raised his eyebrows, "I haven't married yet, if I don't come here, where am I going to harm a good girl?"

"I..." Xing Wu said the wrong thing for a while, and then said with erratic eyes, "I can help you find a good one."

"for example?"

"I..." Xing Wu's Adam's apple rolled again, swallowing what he wanted to say, "I... my cousin from afar."

Lin Qiannan smiled, stood up and said, "Okay, you stay here first, I'll go out for convenience, and I'll be back soon."

Xing Wu awkwardly poured out a cup of tea and sipped it.

When Lin Qiannan exited the private room, he met the old bustard who personally delivered the cakes. He stopped the old bustard and said, "I'm asking for something. After it's done, the reward will be generous."

When the old bustard saw the gold he took out from his sleeve, his eyes couldn't be straightened, and he said that he would agree to anything.

"I need a girl." Lin Qiannan said.

Asking for a girl in Xunmenglou is like buying pork at a pork stall, there is everything you need in the ring, fat, swallows and thin, the old bustard has no reason not to agree, thinking that he has earned it.

"What kind of girl does the young master want? Here I am..."

"I want a girl who voluntarily dies—" Lin Qiannan interrupted her.

The old bustard's smile disappeared little by little, and his fat face was full of suspicion and suspicion, "What are you talking about, young master?"

Lin Qiannan explained his reason for coming, and the conscientious old bustard became hesitant.

When he returned to the private room, Xing Wu still kept the sitting posture when he came, and Lin Qiannan handed him a candy figure in the shape of a tiger.

"I've been here for so long just to buy this?" Xing Wu was quite surprised.

Lin Qiannan nodded and said, "I saw this sugar figurine as if I bought it for you."

Xing Wu narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth to enclose the corner of the sugar figure, and his deep voice was filled with emotions that shouldn't be there, "It's delicious, very sweet."

"Really? I'll try it." Lin Qiannan held the back of his hand and sent the sugar figurine to his mouth.

Xing Wu's eyes widened and his whole body tensed up. From his angle, Lin Qiannan looked like an inexperienced child, licking the hard-earned sweets with great care.

"It's very sweet." Lin Qiannan licked the corner of his mouth contentedly.

Xing Wu didn't take his eyes off him.

Lin Qiannan laughed at him, "What are you looking at me for? Blame me for stealing your candy?"

As soon as Xing Wu changed his appearance of eating calmly, he really looked like a child who had been robbed of candy. He stuffed the remaining candy into his mouth with a few gulps, and muttered: "How could you rob me of candy?"

The way he ate made Lin Qiannan unable to laugh.

Another moment of coincidence with strange memories.

Xing Wu may not know that Lin Qiannan has all the memories and is cherishing the hard-won sweets and this tenderness.

Will Sugar Man, who has spanned 14 years, still be sweet?

Lin Qiannan felt his head hurt, and something exploded in his head and churned into a ball.He turned his face away calmly, pretending to be looking outside.

Xing Wu lost his composure for only a moment, and after eating, he said, "Thank you, brother Qiannan, how long are we going to stay here?"

Coincidentally, several girls entered the private room with a few dishes, put the signature dishes on the table that could whet the appetite, and exited back the same way.

The whole process did not touch them.

Because of Lin Qiannan's presence, Xing Wu didn't get too suspicious, and started to eat with vegetables under Lin Qiannan's greeting.

"Want some wine?" Lin Qiannan put down the bowl and chopsticks after taking two bites.

He can't taste the taste now, and eating too much of the dishes that can't taste the ups and downs is a waste.

Xing Wu nodded.

Lin Qiannan went out and asked someone to bring the altar daughter Hong, and he poured a bowl for Xing Wu, "You can't drink too much."

Xing Wu held down the rim of the bowl with his bony index finger, then picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.Lin Qiannan couldn't stop him in time, so he could only watch helplessly as he collapsed to the ground with a heavy mouthful.

"Come in." Lin Qiannan called a handsome girl in.

The girl was wearing a relatively conservative dress, and said submissively: "My lord..."

"Are you voluntary?" Lin Qiannan confirmed again.

The girl bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, "The slave is voluntary."

"That's good, don't worry... I will try to find an antidote for you when I return to the capital." Seeing that she was young, Lin Qiannan casually made a promise.

Since it was voluntary, what happens in the future is none of his business.

Lin Qiannan didn't feel that he was heartless.At least I don't feel it right now.

"It's okay, I have a general understanding of Yanyan. Thank you, my lord..." The little girl frowned pitifully at him and said, "My lord...is the money you gave...enough?"

"Don't worry, I will protect your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life." Lin Qiannan said.

The little girl bit her lips so delicately that Lin Qiannan actually wondered if she would be the one Han Qi liked, whether she was or not, it was important to get rid of the epidemic first.

"Then... what about my family?" The little girl asked shamefully.

Lin Qiannan smiled and said: "You are so young, don't be greedy anymore." The money he gave was enough for her and her family to live comfortably.

Lin Qiannan withdrew from the private room, leaning his back against the door.

He didn't want to hear anything going on inside--he told himself so.

But he still stood still, and there was no movement in the private room until another little girl came to him.

"Is my sister in there?" asked the little girl.

Lin Qiannan said, "Yes."

"Then when will she come out? I'll wait for her." The little girl stood beside him.

"Wait, I'll wait too." Lin Qiannan blurted out.

"Who are you waiting for?" The little girl looked innocent, not like a person in the world.

"I'll wait..." Lin Qiannan blinked, "I'll wait for the person in my memory."
