Three poisons

In the afternoon Xu Shuyan was busy collecting rent.

He was bargaining with the scissors Liu who opened the barber shop, and he was talking nonsense about the war and disputes outside. There are few pieces of land in the country that have not been burned by gunpowder smoke.

Scissor A Liu looked upset: "Aunt Wu used to be unable to open a business during the holidays, so she would always give us some rent reductions. How did it change to you?"

"So she has so many shops, and now she wants to send her son to study abroad, but she can't get any money out, so she can only sell the shops to raise money," the black-haired young man smiled gently, "Scissor Liu, if you don't rent You can move away, this street is next to the moat, and there is a lot of traffic from merchant ships, there are already a lot of breakfast shops waiting for this area..."

"Okay, okay! Okay, okay! Here you are! I'm rushing home to pay respects to my ancestors, I don't have time to waste time here with you!" Upon hearing that the shop was no longer rented, the scissors Liu became anxious again, and took out the ~A few silver dollars were stuffed into the hands of the black-haired young man, "Oh, you tailor Xu, I usually tell you to make small steps and turn a blind eye, but I didn't expect it to cost three cents to buy sesame seed cakes to see how thick they are-very stingy !"

Xu Shuyan weighed the silver dollar in his hand, smiled slightly, and was about to say that the money of the dead who went to the mountain to worship ancestors these days must be counted with the money of the living, how can we live without careful counting——

Suddenly there was a commotion from the street.

"What's the matter?" He looked bewildered.

"Who knows, maybe something serious happened again. It's not safe to live anywhere these days," Scissors Liu was still complaining, "Boss Xu, you said that you are a widow. What are you doing with the money! Why don’t you leave some way for those of us who drag our families around..."

"Don't eat alone?" Xu Shuyan smiled and teased.

"You can't say that, Boss Xu, you said that you are now a little god of wealth. With so much money saved, you never thought about getting married..."

At this point in the topic, the black-haired young man restrained his smile, and glanced lightly at the scissors Liu. The understatement of the glance instantly stopped his desire to introduce his sister-in-law's little cousin to him.

"I was married before." Xu Shuyan said lightly, "It's just that the result was not very good."

Scissor Six stopped talking instantly, shocked by the explosive news, and stared at the black-haired young man in front of him with wide eyes.

Xu Shuyan didn't say anything else, looking a little tired of the current atmosphere, he waved his hand, collected the silver dollars carefully, and walked around to another section of the street.

……

It is indeed a different landscape to receive the other side.

On weekdays, the street is bustling with hawkers selling supplies and food for the Qingming Festival, and the street was driven away with their burdens. All the soldiers of the commander-in-chief lined up on the road, guarding both sides of the street, and the hawkers were emptied. Clear a clean and spacious street.

martial law.

"what's wrong?"

"I heard that someone from above is here!"

"Hey, what kind of big man is here? It's such a big show!"

"Give way! Don't get in the way! Take a shot!"

People whispered.

Xu Shuyan listened to a group of people who were discussing, and then understood the reason of the matter——

"Tomb-sweeping Day is when the foreigners rush back, and the people who are living outside are in a hurry to go out. No, there is another big man coming! I heard it is a commander!"

"Who is it! A few days ago, Li's staff officer from the commander's mansion didn't look like this when he came back!"

"I heard that the commander was sent from some places in the north. He returned from overseas and returned to China. His ancestral home is here. No, it's Qingming! Come back to worship the ancestors!"

"Ouch? From the north?"

"We have a lot of characters in this small town!"

"Isn't that so?"

It turned out that there were people coming from outside again.

Xu Shuyan didn't have much emotion on his face. Some important person came, which had nothing to do with him as an ordinary person. He just twitched his lips slightly, turned around and went into the best restaurant in the ancient Yancheng next to him, and made a pot of apricot blossom brewing——

The weather is still a little cold, and the south is humid. Whenever this weather is like this, he will suffer from leg pains at night and can't sleep. After drinking warm wine, he can sleep better.

When he came out of Restaurant Road, he happened to bump into Huo Xian who had just got a bad nose from the theater.

Xu Shuyan never liked to provoke soldiers. If Marshal Bai hadn't been his playmate since childhood, he would definitely have detoured him... Now that he saw King Huo Yan, he just paused, as if he was a familiar face The man smiled politely at him, nodded slightly, and was about to pass by.

But at this moment, he grabbed the collar from behind.

"Hey, wait, wait!"

With a rough voice, Huo Xian yelled so that everyone in the restaurant looked over, their eyes turning back and forth between him and Xu Shuyan.

It's not Huo Xian's fault, it's really because he met Xu Shuyan himself at this moment that he remembered Bai Yi's confession in the morning, and he slapped his head and remembered what a motherly afternoon, bad dish!

Seeing that Xu Shuyan was still struggling to leave, he lost his patience and shouted: "Why are you running! You were laughing at me just now! I won't eat you again!"

The people in the restaurant burst into laughter.

Xu Shuyan felt extremely ashamed, and explained helplessly: "Commander Huo, let me go first... Sigh, it's just basic politeness to smile at you, it's not—"

It doesn't mean I'm happy to see you.

I didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Huo Xian still had some criticisms about his usual crying image, rolled his eyes with a "hum" and guessed what the little tailor was going to say, and muttered, "You think I'm rare?" See you" while reaching out to lift him up and put him in front of her.

Soldiers have always been vegetarians.

In order to prevent the little tailor from running around again, he put his arms on the shoulders of the black-haired young man, and hugged him into his arms!

Regardless of the suffocating sound of the latter being grabbed and pulled by him, his huge bear-like body bent down and leaned close to Xu Shuyan's ear: "Hey, little tailor, I really need to find you! The watchdog—"

Seeing Xu Shuyan tilting his head slightly, he looked at him in confusion.

He paused, displeased that some people didn't know who he was talking about with such a vivid description, and snorted angrily: "It's that Bai Yi! Bai Yi asked me to tell you, Marshal Bai, to tell him You, a big man is coming to the city recently, telling you to pack up and get out of the city to live for two days if you have nothing else to do!"

"Big man?"

"Correct!"

"What does a big man have to do with me?" Xu Shuyan smiled and said to the tall man who was shoulder to shoulder with him, "Why should I go out of the city to avoid it?"

"..."

If you ask me, how would I know!

Huo Xian became impatient, and was about to ask him, "I heard that the person who came was named Gu, do you know such an enemy?" At this moment, there was a commotion outside the restaurant——

A group of soldiers in dark blue uniforms, who were obviously not in the uniform of the White House, poured in from outside.

This movement made the two people standing by the door raise their heads at the same time.

At this time, Huo Xian's arm was still hooked around Xu Shuyan's neck "kissingly".

The two looked towards the door, and at a glance, they saw a tall and slender figure appearing at the end of the road driven by the group of soldiers who looked more sophisticated in both equipment and attire.

The person who came was wearing a military uniform of the same color, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, a small shawl on his shoulders, the brim of his hat was pressed down very low, and the black military boots on his feet made a steady sound as he walked——

When he came to the steps, he pushed the brim of his hat with his black-gloved fingertips, revealing sword eyebrows and starry eyes under the brim, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were lightly pursed into a straight line.

It turned out to be a very young and handsome military officer about 30 years old.

"Huh!"

Huo Xian looked at the officer in front of him whose demeanor was comparable to that of Bai Chulian, and the oppressive force in his eyes spread out, even more domineering than Bai Chulian, and he expressed his appreciation.

Just about to ask where this special woman came from, the gods descended to earth in their little ancient Yancheng, but they didn't realize that the black-haired young man with the wine bottle in his arms was slightly stiff.

And the people outside the restaurant had already stepped up the steps.

With a glance, he naturally saw the tall and tall Commander Huo standing by the door, his eyeballs moved slightly in the eye sockets, and finally glanced at the black-haired young man who was standing there surrounded by Commander Huo inadvertently.

And another man's hand on his shoulder.

Without a single pause or wave, his gaze drifted away lightly.

Raising his right hand, he lightly hooked his leather-gloved fingers, and waved behind him with a lazy expression, and immediately an adjutant-like person stepped forward.

"Go, Xinghua stuffed."

The man's voice is deep and magnetic, with a calm and unhurried spirit.

After speaking, he stood by the door and did not move.

There was no sound in the restaurant, and everyone watched dumbfounded as these soldiers emptied the restaurant's existing stock of apricot blossom wine, and then when the young officer turned around, these people rushed away with the wine jars in their hands.

a long time.

The oppression brought by that person seemed to have just dissipated, and conversations gradually buzzed in the restaurant, most of which were discussing the martial law outside today and the relationship with the officer just now.

Huo Xian came back to his senses, and only then remembered that he was still holding someone in his hand.

Looking down, he found that the little tailor was dumbfounded, and his usually energetic black pupils had become dull and dull, so he raised his hand and patted his face: "Hey, little tailor? What's the matter? "

Only then did the black-haired young man seem to come back to his senses, his eyes became focused, and his usual smile appeared on his face again: "Huh? It's all right, I just lost my mind about the matter, what Commander Huo said before... ..."

"Oh yes, let you out-"

"You turn around and tell Marshal Bai, there's no need." Xu Shuyan interrupted Huo Xian lightly, "Just say I've already seen the person who shouldn't be seen, it's no big problem, let him not worry about me."

Huo Xian was confused.

But at this moment, Xu Shuyan had already loosened his claws lightly, then raised his head and smiled and nodded at him gently, and slowly walked down the steps of the restaurant with the wine in his hand.

It was rainy and foggy these days, but the road was slippery. Huo Xian only noticed that he was walking very slowly. Looking carefully, it seemed that he was inconvenient and lame on one side of his leg.

What's going on?

Huo Xian stroked his chin, puzzled, this little tailor was silent and kind, he seemed to have no other faults except his love of money, so he wouldn't break his leg, right?

Standing at the door and thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t think of a fart until I heard the wine buyer from the shopkeeper behind me say, “Today’s apricot flower wine is sold out”, and I realized that this wine was bought by that fairy just now. It was a waste of time to leave him alone!

He slapped his thigh and scolded his mother with a black face. He sighed, "It's not suitable to go out today", turned around and left the restaurant in a hurry.
