Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 220: The Gate to the New World
After opening the door, Qianjialou ushered in another busy day.
Wada Mamoru came to the store and bought three bowls of vegetarian noodles, probably preparing to take them back for breakfast.
He was holding a rag puppet in his hand, and was controlling it to make various movements in a somewhat awkward manner, which looked quite funny.
He had been practicing puppet manipulation recently, and Li Si had discovered this a few days ago. He might have been a little surprised at first, but considering the strange old man's weird temper, he didn't care any more.
At the same time, Wada Mamoru's Tang language is getting better and better. Recently, we can basically communicate with him without using gestures. However, there are still some problems with his accent. Sometimes, if you want to understand what he is saying, you may need some comprehension and imagination.
As March approaches, the weather has started to warm up, and at least we don't have to wear thick winter clothes every day. In terms of weather, the most comfortable days for people are late spring and early autumn, which are not too hot or too cold. The sun is slightly warm, making people feel lazy physically and mentally, and the cool breeze is not all cold.
In weather like this, finding a place to sit and chat with three or two people is a great enjoyment.
This is also the reason why Qianjialou’s business has been getting better and better recently.
Zhang Susu was also sitting at a long table in front of the hall, waving a round fan in her hand from time to time, not to cool down, but just for show.
In such pleasant weather, the best option is to sit still.
But Li Si and his companions did not have such treatment. In the tavern with three floors, there were only three of them, one waiter, and a handyman. When they were busy, it was enough to break their legs. Fortunately, Li Si, Banjiexian and Xiaohe knew some kung fu now, so they were not in a hurry.
The most tired person was Hao Dayou, who was responsible for the meals on the first floor. No one knew how he managed to hold on. As expected, human potential can only be brought into play under oppression.
It was not until after dinner time that Li Si and others had some free time and sat down at the long table to drink some tea.
At this time, Zhang Susu was looking outside the door and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Zi Qing?"
Following her gaze, everyone saw Yan Ziqing walking in from outside the door carrying a wooden barrel that looked like a food box.
The wooden barrel was not big, even Yan Ziqing could carry it by himself. But it was not small either, at least it could hold the food of six or seven ordinary people.
Walking straight into the hall, Yan Ziqing placed the wooden barrel on the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spoke to everyone with a smile.
"The mother in the building made eight-treasure porridge today. There was a little extra, so I brought it to you."
"Oh, Eight Treasure Porridge is great. I like sweet food the most." Zhang Susu suddenly became interested, stood up from the table, opened the food bucket and said.
Li Si sat aside and nodded without denying it. He also liked sweet food, and the sweeter the better.
"Then go get a bowl and I'll serve you." Rolling his eyes at Zhang Susu, Yan Ziqing smiled and took the lid from her hand and put it aside.
"Okay, I'll call Dayou over as well." After saying that, Zhang Susu ran excitedly to the kitchen.
After Zhang Susu walked away, Yan Ziqing bowed to the remaining people and spoke.
"Thank you for your concern last time. Ziqing would like to thank you all here."
"It's okay, we didn't do anything." Xiao Cao walked to the chair and sat down, waving his hands generously, as if he didn't take it to heart. At the same time, he poked Li Si with his elbow and said with a wink.
"Right, Brother Si?"
"Haha, yes, you should thank our shopkeeper more. She was the one who was most worried about you during those days."
Li Si looked at Xiao Cao, a man who was only afraid of chaos in the world, and laughed dryly twice. Then he turned around and said to Yan Ziqing.
"But speaking of which, what are your plans for the future?"
"Of course there is." Yan Ziqing also looked at Li Si. Unconsciously, the smile on her face deepened. After a while, she spoke softly and gently.
"I plan to find my benefactor first."
"Uh." The smile on Li Si's face froze again.
"Oh~ then what? Then what?" Xiao Cao's eyes lit up and he came close to Yan Ziqing and asked.
"Then." Yan Ziqing looked at Xiao Cao, smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch her nose.
"I won't tell you."
"Oh." Xiao Cao was startled and shrank back with a red face. When he came to his senses, he pouted and said.
"Sister Ziqing, why are you like this?"
"How am I?" Yan Ziqing narrowed his eyes, put his arms around Xiao Cao's shoulders, half-hugged her in his arms, lowered his head and asked in a gentle voice.
Xiao Cao's face suddenly turned redder, and he stammered, unable to utter a word for a long time.
This woman is not easy to mess with.
Almost subconsciously, this thought popped up in Li Si's mind.
Then he immediately moved his butt to the left and sat in a position far away from Yan Ziqing. At the same time, he pulled Xiao He over and sat on his right side, between him and Yan Ziqing. Only after doing all this did Li Si feel relieved.
"Brother Si, what's wrong?" Ning Caihe was forced to sit down by Li Siqiang. She hadn't reacted yet, so she turned her body sideways and asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it, just sit down." Li Si replied with a dark face.
Ning Caihe was so scared that she shrank her neck and dared not ask any more questions.
When Zhang Susu brought the bowls, Yan Ziqing served everyone the eight-treasure porridge and handed them out one by one. She said, "Thank you for your consideration these days," and her words were so polite that even Lao Luo smiled at her. It must be said that Yan Ziqing was very likable .
But Li Si inexplicably felt creepy, not because of anything else, but because of what Yan Ziqing had just said while staring at him: find the benefactor first.
That made him feel like his whole body was trembling, and that feeling was really bad.
When Yan Ziqing handed the Eight Treasure Porridge to Li Si, she reached out and supported the back of Li Si's hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Fortunately, Li Si dodged it just in time.
However, what Li Si didn't know was that just this one move made Yan Ziqing's gaze towards him even deeper.
Sure enough, the benefactor is different from ordinary men. Ordinary women have no effect on him. The benefactor is worthy of being a benefactor.
Li Si didn't know what Yan Ziqing was thinking, otherwise he would definitely cry out for injustice. How could he know that this was a test? He just felt a chill all over his body.
When everyone sat down, Yan Ziqing sat next to Li Si.
It seemed that he was just sitting in the seat closest to Zhang Susu, but in fact he was almost next to Li Si.
When she smelled that faint scent of medicine again, she felt instantly at ease, and even the eight-treasure porridge in her hand seemed to become a lot sweeter.
But Li Si couldn't stand this, and immediately moved towards Ning Caihe .
However, it would have been fine if he hadn't moved. Once he moved, he was almost squeezed together with Ning Caihe, and was almost sitting on Ning Caihe's lap.
Half-hugging Ning Caihe's neck and letting her head rest on his chest, Li Si smiled at the surprised crowd and began to eat the eight-treasure porridge in big mouthfuls.
But Ning Caihe didn't understand any of this. He just sat there blankly, feeling the warmth on his face, and his face turned red in an instant.
Si, Si, Si, Si brother, what are you going to do?
I, I, I, what should I do?
Urgent, waiting online!
