Beiming Zhengtai College

After arriving at the market, the sky was getting darker, and the red lanterns on the road were lit up early. Three days later, it will be New Year's Eve. The villagers have already been immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, and they are shopping for the New Year.

Qin Tian held Tan Fangli in one hand and the purchase list in the other.The list is to ask Xu Niang to write down the more reliable and not cheating shop names.Although the Tan family entrusted someone to bring them a lot of silver, and told them to write to the family if the money was not enough.But after all, it is Master Tan's hard-earned money, and Qin Tian has to use it now through careful planning.

"Go buy some pens, inks, papers and inkstones first. If you go late, all the high-quality goods will be picked up, and then I will help you make a new dress. You have grown a lot recently."

"Brother Qin is the one who should make new clothes. Your middle clothes are from last year. The trousers are obviously shorter," Tan Fangli retorted.I did grow a little taller this year, but compared to Qin Tian, ​​it's really insignificant.Qin Tian was a head taller than him before, but now he is one and a half taller, which made Tan Fangli very depressed.

He went to seven shops just to buy paper inkstones. Qin Tian said that he wanted to shop around, and Tan Fangli also enjoyed it. As long as the two of them are holding hands, it doesn't matter if their legs are sore.

"Brother Qin, I want to eat sugar cake."

"Okay, let's buy a few more and bring them to Chu Hanyan." But seeing that the most popular sugar cake stall was crowded with people, Qin Tian changed his mind and said, "Fangli, you rest here, we Go and buy."

Tan Fangli smiled and said, "Brother Qin, are you afraid that there will be too many people there, and you won't be able to squeeze me out? How can I be so weak?"

But in Qin Tian's eyes, he was the one who needed transitional protection. He hugged Tan Fangli's waist with both hands and put him on the high stone steps, so as to prevent him from running around and make it easy to see him when he turned around.

Tan Fang sighed inwardly, as expected, Big Brother Qin still only treated him as a child.Seeing Qin Tianli's leaving back, he easily jumped down the stone steps with a kick.

There is a book stall next to it. This kind of quack book dealer likes to sell all kinds of unofficial histories and biographies. Tan Fangli walked up to it curiously and looked through it.

At least I have heard of the books on the upper floor of the book stall. The more I scroll down, the more strange the names are, such as "The History of Double Cultivation with My Junior Sister", "The Pretty Wife Next Door", "My Sister Helps Me Warm the Bed", "Overbearing The prince is in love with me"...

"What a mess!" Tan Fangli didn't even have any interest in flipping through the books, she just threw the book and turned to leave.

"Wait, young master." The stall owner was a thin middle-aged man with a slightly wretched appearance. He had observed Tan Fangli's expression from the very beginning, and when he saw Tan Fangli scoffing at the books on his bookstall, he hurriedly called out. "I still have some precious books here, I think there must be some you like, young master." As he spoke, he dug out a box from under the stool, which was only prepared for special groups of people.

""Eighteen Styles of Night Banquet"? The name is not a good book, right?" Tan Fangli snorted coldly.

"Young master, you might as well open it and have a look. There's nothing to lose, right? Maybe it's the book you're looking for? Hehe." The book dealer's two hehe made him look even more wretched.

When Tan Fangli opened it, her eyes widened.The two silhouettes without a trace are entangled together, and, unexpectedly, both of them are male.He quickly closed the book and threw it away.I had a premonition before that this must not be a serious book, but seeing this scene with my own eyes for the first time, Tan Fangli blushed to the ears.

"You...you are too..." She couldn't speak clearly, and turned around to leave.

"Young master, is it true that you don't want a copy? I never misread the buyer. It only costs five cents!"

Tan Fangli was so angry that he was trembling. Seeing that Qin Tian had already bought candy cakes and was walking towards this side, she hurried up like a guilty conscience and dragged her away. The farther away from this bookstall the better.

--------

The two of them stayed in the tailor shop for a long time, chose the fabric and measured the shape, and it was already dark when they went out.It is too dangerous to walk up the mountain at night, so I decided to stay in a hotel for one night.

The waiter eagerly led them to the guest room on the second floor. Tan Fangli was just about to enter through the door when she saw someone push the door out of the next room. She subconsciously took a look and found it was Yu Zixian.

"You live here too." Tan Fangli wanted to say hello, but Yu Zixian just looked at him, then at Qin Tian behind him, snorted coldly and went downstairs.

"He's like that. Every time I talk to him, I can answer at most two out of ten sentences." Entering the room, Tan Fangli lay down on the bed when she saw the bed, and said happily, "Finally no one let me enter the room." Have you changed your shoes!" Of course, what is more pleasant is that today I can sleep with Qin Tian in my arms again.

"Since Yu Zixian hasn't returned to his hometown, let's ask him tomorrow morning if we go back to the academy together. If he buys a lot of things, I can also help move them." Qin Tian, ​​a good old man, said while fetching hot water to wash Tan Fangli's face. .

"No!" Tan Fangli blurted out.

Qin Tian was a little surprised: "What's wrong? You hate him?"

"Of course I don't hate him, but, I always feel that he is very strange, secretive, and has a serious cleanliness."

Qin Tian smiled and said, "It would be great if his obsession with cleanliness and your filthy child can be combined. Look, the socks are thrown around again."

"Don't worry about the socks, Brother Qin, my shoulders are sore, can you rub them for me?"

Qin Tian naturally wouldn't refuse, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, his hands were strong, but when he softened his shoulders, he was able to control his strength just right.

Tan Fangli relaxed her whole body, closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "It's so comfortable, I really hope Brother Qin can help me massage for a lifetime."

Qin Tian smiled: "I don't dare! In the future, you will have your own wife to rub it for you, so it's my turn for the rest of your life."

"I... don't want a daughter-in-law." Tan Fangli's expression darkened, every time a daughter-in-law was mentioned, Tan Fangli would be displeased, but Qin Tian always thought he was just shy.

"In the future, I will work hard to make money. I will buy a house next to the Tan Mansion and live next to each other. In my spare time, I can drop by to play chess and compare swords. Our children can also grow up together, and each other..."

"Enough!" Tan Fangli interrupted Qin Tian.He couldn't imagine having anyone else in their lives.It's not that I haven't worried about how to go in the future, it's just that I choose to escape now.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, but after a while a hasty knock on the door broke the embarrassment.

"Is anyone there? Help!" There was a woman outside the door, shouting and knocking on the door. "Help, someone is chasing me, let me in, help me!"

Qin Tian got up immediately, picked up the saber for self-defense, and was about to open the door when Tan Fangli called out, "Don't open the door!"

"The woman outside seems to have encountered something."

"Something is out of our control."

"But in case she's in danger, wouldn't it mean that if she didn't open the door, she'd be willing to die?"

"Because it may be dangerous, you can't open the door. If you help her this time, you can't help her this time. We got into trouble because of this."

"But..." Qin Tian frowned tightly, as if caught in a dilemma.After a while, the hand that held the knife was also loosened. "Okay, don't open the door..."

The woman outside the door knocked for a long time but did not see the door inside, and finally gave up and left, and then there were many footsteps outside the door.It's like chasing this woman.

Qin Tian turned his head away, unwilling to listen to the movement outside, or rather, he was afraid of hearing other movements outside.He started to learn martial arts at the age of 8. Although his original ambition was not to become a hero and fight for justice, but since he has the ability to help others, he stands by and does nothing, and Qin Tian feels a deep sense of guilt.

Tan Fangli was very satisfied. He knew that Qin Tian had a sense of justice, but he still listened to him in everything.Put his words first.Tan Fangli did not explain why he insisted not to let Qin Tian open the door.He just felt strange that their room was in the middle of the corridor on the second floor, and the woman bypassed so many rooms and chose to knock on their door. Don't you think it's strange?

Until he heard a series of footsteps outside, he was even more sure that there was no need to open the door at all.Although Tan Fangli's martial arts is not even at the third-rate level, he can tell whether the footsteps outside are from martial arts practitioners or ordinary people.

But Qin Tian was so overwhelmed by guilt that he didn't realize it.Tan Fangli didn't explain on purpose, which made Qin Tian sleepless all night.

On the second day, there were many more people in the inn, and they were all gathered around a table to watch the fun.

From the mouth of the village name, it turned out that the second miss of the Sun family ran away from home last night, and a group of nurses chased her for five blocks without catching up.Second Miss Sun is famous for being hot and outgoing, and she said last night that she met a destined person on the street, and she clamored to marry the handsome young master.Master Sun was so angry that he vomited blood twice, and ordered him to be confined for a month. Of course, he was not restrained.

Besides, I heard that the person that Second Miss Sun had her eyes on lived in this inn. Mr. Sun grabbed Second Miss so much that he wanted to see which bastard fell for his daughter.

When Tan Fangli and Qin Tian went downstairs, everyone looked at them.The ones who came out before were all crooked melons and cracked dates. As long as the two of them are good-looking, they are probably one of them.

"Father! Don't make trouble. Let's go back. They say that my daughter has reflected on it last night, and I don't like that person anymore."

This voice!It was the woman who shouted for help outside the door last night.Qin Tian looked at her in surprise.

Second Miss Sun said disdainfully: "I thought I was looking for a chivalrous man, but it turned out to be a coward. Don't worry about it!" Second Miss met Qin Tian in the tailor shop, and she was astonished.The girl's heart was secretly promised, but it was a pity that Qin Tian's attention was only on Tan Fangli who was next to him, and he didn't even look at her from the beginning to the end.

At night, I originally wanted to create an opportunity for the hero to save the beauty, but unfortunately the other party didn't even open the door, which disappointed Second Miss Sun.

Qin Tian looked bewildered, and Tan Fangli who was beside him shook his head and sighed, it was rare that Big Brother Qin would be spotted by someone next time he was on the mountain, so he really couldn't take him to run around.

After clarifying the ins and outs of the matter, Qin Tian was finally relieved. It turned out to be just a farce. Fortunately, the woman was not harmed because of his inaction.

……

After lunch, the two of them went around the market again, and went back to the inn. The second told them that Yu Zixian, who was in the next room, hadn't come back all night.Can't wait for anyone, so naturally go up the mountain and go back to the academy.

"I've been tired all day, Fangli, you should rest on the bed for a while. I'll pack your bags."

"It's okay and not tired. By the way, where did you put the sugar cake you bought?"

"The red bag, let's give a few copies to other people who haven't returned home."

"It's good to know." Although Tan Fangli was very greedy, she still had the courage to share the sweets and cakes, and hurriedly opened the red bag full of things.The sugar cake seems to be pressed on the bottom.Suddenly, a book was pulled out of the bag. After seeing the title of the book, Tan Fangli put the book back into the bag in a panic.

"What's the matter? Didn't you find the sugar cake? Let me help you find it."

Seeing that Qin Tian was about to come over, Tan Fangli was even more at a loss. She quickly covered her bag and said, "I, I found it. Brother Qin, you are busy."

"Eighteen Styles of Banquet"!

God knows how this book appeared in his baggage, and Tan Fangli dared not buy this kind of book even if he had a hundred guts.Could it be?Could it be that Brother Qin bought it?How can it be……

Tan Fangli's mind was in a mess, and his ears couldn't help turning red. He was very afraid that Qin Tian would find out about the book, so he lied about going to the toilet, so he hurriedly stuffed the book into his clothes and took it to his room, where he hid it.
