But now that the three-day deadline has passed, Duan Jiuniang has not heard from her at all.

Zhou Fei didn't have any appetite, but she was embarrassed to droop her face when she saw the heat, so she smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing, I'm not used to it, just take it."

The shopkeeper glanced at her expression, and smiled kindly: "Girl, the sky is falling, but you have to be full, don't you? It's early in the morning, and the other guests are not up. You are welcome, little old man. I have a few more words. Mouth, you will know when you are my age as a villain. Anything you can't get through will have that day. If you miss home, sooner or later you can go home. If you miss someone, sooner or later you can see someone again. Don't worry. , as long as you live one more day, you may encounter some miracles, and there is hope every day, isn't it good?"

The shopkeeper has a white and fat face. When he smiles, he can't see his teeth. If he stretches the man and flattens it on the paper, it will be "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in block letters. Zhou Fei saw that he was really likable, so she couldn't help but smile along with him.

The shopkeeper said, "Isn't that enough? Wait, girl, the villain will ask the lazy hozen to bring you some hot food. I have food in my belly, so don't panic-"

The fat man spoke confidently, his temples were white, but he still seemed very energetic. He threw the rag over his shoulder, hummed a little song, and went downstairs. Zhou Fei heard that he had just walked a few steps, and it sounded like a bell. He called out, "Yo, Young Master Xie, are you going out early in the morning? It's really early!"

Zhou Fei looked sideways, only to see Xie Yun running up three steps and two steps, and said to her, "Mr. Bai is escorting Miss Wu all the way, and she will probably take a detour. Miss Wu is impatient, and there may be more on the way. A few days off, it will definitely be slower than us, I probably calculate, I will probably have a letter in the next two days."

Zhou Fei finally felt a little bit of spirit and asked, "Will there be a letter? How to send it?"

"Mr. Bai was born in the 'walking gang', and he has some miscellaneous connections..." Xie Yun didn't finish a sentence, Xiao Er brought breakfast, Xie Yun jumped up, and ran over to take Yao Yao yù The falling kettle said, "Slow down, I'll come. Do you still have the sauce prepared by the proprietress, have you filled it for me today? I think I have to go with a jar before I leave, otherwise it will be tasteless for the next six months."

Most of the people who are hurrying on the road are not very good. The second shopkeeper rarely encounters such a talkative customer, and let out a mouthful of buck teeth: "I have a big bowl for you."

Xie Yun sat back, first scalded his chopsticks with hot water, put the two bowls of noodles in place, took a small half bowl of noodles from Zhou Fei's bowl, and gave her a few slices of ròu from his bowl.

Zhou Fei hurriedly said: "Hey, no need..."

"Eat it for me now," Xie Yun raised his head and smiled at her, revealing a dimple that couldn't be seen if he didn't look carefully, and said solemnly, "This kind of good sauce tastes too good to be smeared on ròu tablets, otherwise it will be Ruining sauce and ruining ròu is just as sinful as the abrupt beauty."

Zhou Fei has been running for her life for the past few days, and she probably understands this person's temper. Apart from her legs, Young Master Xie has only a stomach full of crooked and heretical things. He wants to argue with you, "The sun hits the west." He who has risen” can also sit there and speak in vernacular for a whole day, but he has to be able to say it so that everyone is convinced, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that the sun rises in the west.

Zhou Fei didn't bother with him, she just asked, "What is the Walking Foot Gang?"

Xie Yun mixed the huáng sauce made by the proprietress into the noodles and said, "Do you know the Beggar Gang?"

Zhou Fei nodded.

Xie Yun then said: "The Beggar Gang collects beggars all over the world. There are gang leaders and elders, and they each do their own thing. They are very moral, and the rules are strict inside. It is easy to see that there are several bags of elders and several bags of disciples, so they are regarded as 'Bai Dao'. It's almost the same as the gangsters, and they are also a bunch of down and out of the rivers and lakes, but there is a saying that 'the feet of the car and boat shop, innocent people should be killed', they are walking the 'underworld'."

Zhou Fei didn't quite understand and asked, "What... what tooth?"

"Eat quickly, don't get cold for a while, you won't take your mouth when you listen to people's words." Xie Yun tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and then continued calmly when he saw her bowing her head and taking a few mouthfuls, " 'Car and boat shop foot teeth' refers to five kinds of occupations, driving, punting, opening a shop, walking, and buying and selling. If the fat sheep bumps in and gets murdered, you will have to admit that you are unlucky."

Zhou Fei's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Wu Chuchu's eldest daughter was in the hands of someone who "killed people and sold goods", she couldn't swallow anything she had eaten.

Xie Yun continued: "These five kinds of people are collectively referred to as 'Xingjiao Gang'. Although they are not managed by one boss, they all know what's going on with each other. Brothers who have one line and one line do business called "one-handed black". If you know how to do things, you are your own person, and you have a cable in your hand, then you can rest assured. The rules of walking and foot help are more than the sky. Whether you are sending things, sending letters or inquiring about things, you can do it properly and reliably. This is called I won't say much about 'white business' and 'black business', and you can imagine it—you don't have to worry about Mr. Bai, he is a cousin of mine, reliable, and has seven or eight helpers on hand. Follow him, as long as you don't turn around and meet the Northern Dynasty Eagle Dog, there will be people cooking fish for you in the water bandit stockade."

Zhou Fei said "oh", she originally thought that she was born in the "underworld", but after going down the mountain, she realized that the bandit flag in the forty-eight villages was completely to disgust the emperor of the Northern Dynasty. When she went out for a walk, everyone thought she was famous Xiaobaihua, who was born in a decent school, grew up in Xanadu.

Zhou Fei thought for a while, and then asked, "Then can I ask them to help find someone to deliver the letter?"

Xie Yun: "Huh?"

Zhou Fei counted them one by one: "I have to find Mrs. Wang first, I don't know what happened to her, first my brother left without saying goodbye, but I can't find it anymore, she can't replace my mother when she gets home, it's uncertain. How can I get angry, and I have to tell her about Senior Brother Chenfei... and the dark pile of mutiny over there, I don't know how many people were involved, and I also heard that the elders of the association..."

Xie Yun looked at her in surprise: "You don't have a big head, but you can really pretend."

Zhou Fei was interrupted by him, she rolled her eyes at him half-deadly, and wanted to go home more and more—when she was in the Forty-eight Village, she was too lazy to even compete with Li Sheng, and every day apart from practicing, she would occasionally deal with Li Yan. She didn't pretend to do anything, even when she first came down the mountain, she just wanted to be a dutiful attendant to Mrs. Wang, and didn't even pay attention to the dark spots in the village.

Who knows that things are impermanent, and in a blink of an eye, she is alone and helpless.

Xie Yun thought for a while, and suddenly took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it to her: "This is for you."

Zhou Fei took it inexplicably, opened it, and found a packet of sugar cubes inside. I don't know where I bought it from. I'm afraid it was made by a farmer.

Zhou Fei looked at Xie Yun suspiciously: "I thought you were on business when you went out early in the morning, and you went to buy candy after a long fuss?"

Xie Yun shook his head and said, "Under the eyebrows, some people think that the grand plan is the right thing to do, but I think it's the right thing to make the little beauty happy. What's the difference? I think I'm more elegant."

Zhou Fei smiled and said without a smile: "Brother Xie, I think you still need to practice your light skills. At least you have to be as diligent as you are, otherwise you will be prone to bloodshed."

Just as he was talking, there was a heavy knock on the door from downstairs.

The inn opens its doors to welcome guests. As long as it is not closed, the door is open, but the visitor has to knock on the door to show that they are coming.

I saw that the man was thin, with the tip of his cheek and chin, a Lei Gong mouth, and he could go out to play monkeys with his hair on. He also wore white clothes, and was followed by a large group of people in sackcloth and filial piety, as if he had just finished crying.

The thin monkey in the lead stepped on the threshold with one foot and one foot, and looked up and down the small Sanchūn inn, smiled slightly, and cupped his fists at the shopkeeper and said: "Master, brothers 'raise the coffin hair material', Just now, I carried three long and two shorts into the Yin's house, howled all the way, and sold a lot of strength, please ask for auspiciousness and give us two cups of tea to eat with us."

Zhou Fei frowned and looked downstairs. The guests who were staying at the store had already got up one after another, and went out to eat breakfast in twos and threes. In the early morning, they encountered a group of people wearing burlap and filial piety blocking the door, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The shopkeeper is also a real person. When he saw this, he was able to squeeze out a smile. After a round of worship, he said calmly: "This is no problem, Xiaoluzi, bring some tea money and give it to 'Bai Kongfang'. 'Big bros to quench your thirst!'"

The thin monkey on the threshold heard him revealing his origins, so he raised his eyes and stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, smiled like a zombie, and gave a thumbs up: "The shopkeeper is indeed a businessman, Zhao Ziliang. , has eyesight, and is sensible."

Zhou Fei asked in a low voice, "What is 'Bai Kong Fang'?"

Xie Yundao: "It's just paper money - it turned out that there were big families going to funerals and funerals to talk about ostentation. I was afraid that there would not be enough filial sons and grandsons in the family, so I asked a group of people to follow the cryling cao. There is not so much business now, so I can start the business of eating and taking cards. It's okay, Opening a store to welcome customers and dealing with local hooligans is common."

When his voice fell, he saw the second shop assistant holding a small purse and handing it over to the mourners tremblingly.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's not a respect for mere tea money. Brothers, come in and rest your feet and put your stomach on it, okay?"

Probably enough money, the thin monkey put the money bag in his hand, and his expression eased a lot, nodded and smiled: "No, it's getting late, don't delay your business, let's go—"

He gave an order, and a large group of "filial sons and worthy grandsons" picked up the suona gongs sent out for the funeral, and walked away one by one, singing, chanting, sitting, and beating, leaving a floor of paper money. Seeing them turn around, the shop assistant spat viciously and asked the shopkeeper to slap the back of his head with a slap, scolding: "What are you looking at, don't sweep the floor!"

After that, he quickly put on a smile, and apologized to the customers in the store one by one.

If there are those who are good to talk, it’s fine to complain, and there are those who are not good to talk, and the shopkeeper must bow again and again, and the auspicious words have been exhausted, and the mouth is worn out.

Looking from upstairs, Zhou Fei felt that his chubby back was very similar to the "kowtow tumbler" sold in the market.

She used to feel that the sky is high and the earth is vast after crossing the Ximo River, and nothing can stop her, but now she realizes that with her meager aptitude, she is probably enough to guard the hospital, not to mention the big cause, "Little one. business" is also a mess. Zhou Fei squeezed a piece of candy bought by Xie Yun and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging up, and it took a long time to taste a bit of bitter sweetness, she thought to herself, "This time, I won't go back and practice for three or five years. , I won't come out casually to be embarrassed."

At this moment, there were a few screams from outside the inn, the sound of suonas and gongs stopped abruptly, the whole inn fell silent, and the shop assistant who swept the floor at the door widened his eyes.

Zhou Fei looked out from the wooden window on the second floor, and saw two fast horses running aggressively across the long street. The people on the horses were wearing bamboo hats and could not see their faces. With a long whip in his hand, he overturned a large group of dutiful sons and grandsons who played and sang, only to see the barbs on the whip, and the blood could tear off a layer of human skin.

The two rushed to the door of the Sanchūn Inn in a blink of an eye. Seeing that the innkeeper was foolishly holding a broom and dodging, the whip smeared with bits and pieces could not help but slap him on the head.

Seeing that the shop assistant's head was about to turn into a rotten watermelon, two wooden chopsticks suddenly fell from the second floor, one missed the tip of the whip, and the other was poking the whip holder's wrist.

The long whip of the rider immediately let go, and the sinister barb brushed past the hapless shop assistant. The shop assistant, who almost nodded, sat on the ground with a "pop", trembling like a leaf.

The man on horseback took off his hat and glared fiercely at the wooden window on the second floor—it was a young man in his early twenties.

☆、Chapter 46

Zhou Fei looked back at the young man without looking back, and chewed the candy without expression.

Immediately, the young man looked very handsome, but his eyebrows were too slender, and the brows were drawn into a thin line, which almost swept into the temples. He looked very soft. His chin was slightly pointed, his lips were thin, and he had a pair of eyes that seemed to be poisoned. , Everyone seems to have a hatred of killing their father and taking their wife with others. It is a typical example of "the heaven is not full, the ground is not round", as if it is based on the "mean and unkind" page in the folk photo book.

The young man shouted arrogantly, "Where did the dog get the rat?"

Zhou Fei wanted to reply, "What kind of evildoer should I be, it turns out that a rat can also become a jīng", but the words came to his mouth, but he didn't say it-Xie Yun didn't know what broken candy he bought and stuck her teeth.

Zhou Fei just saw the injustice and pulled out her chopsticks. It was really inconvenient to reach out to pick it up in front of everyone's eyes, so she could only give Xie Yun a vague look, and inexplicably picked up the teacup next to her to rinse her mouth.

Xie Yun didn't know why, and thought she had become a lot more stable after going through a life and death catastrophe, and sighed in her heart: "How many people can't control their mouths even in their 70s or 80s, she is so young, she can hold back her words. It’s really not easy to fail.”

Xie Yun, who had deeply misunderstood Zhou Fei, rushed downstairs with a smile and cupped his hands: "This brother has an extraordinary bearing, and his 'Four Ming Whip' makes him so amazing.

As soon as these words came out, many people in the inn looked wrong.

Zhou Fei was confused when she saw Xie Yun looking downstairs, his fingers wet with water, and the word "Qinglong" was written on the table. She was stunned for a while—in the valley, when Zhou Fei met Shen Tianshu by chance, she heard from the other party that there were four heads on the mountain of living and dead. It's "Suzaku".

The young man downstairs should not be the "Qinglong Lord", otherwise she would not let her knock off the long whip with a chopstick, but looking at his look, he must be a figure under the Qinglong seat.

The young man on the horse frowned, and just as he was about to speak, his companion next to him slowly stretched out a hand to block him.

The man slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing an old-fashioned face, his cloudy eyes turned on Zhou Fei, then fell on Xie Yun, and said hoarsely: "My young master has a bad temper, and he is in a hurry. There are so many offenses, I will make up for you."

The young man seemed to be unhappy with the boss beside him, drooping his face, staring at the old man and sneering.

The shopkeeper of the Sanchūn Inn hurriedly ran out of the inn in three steps and two steps, picked up the shop assistant from the ground with both hands, and slammed into the tunnel: "I don't dare, I'm in the way of Zunjia, I'm really sorry. ."

An old entourage and a fat shopkeeper, each being polite, one on horse and one on the ground, "couldn't resist" each other for a while, until the young man's horse next to him snorted impatiently, and the young man did not coldly sigh. He said, "Can you two finish this ceremony?"
