It was just after noon. Because of what happened in the morning, the fifth aunt was not in the mood to eat. She was still thinking about whether the money on hand would be enough for this operation.

Just when the fifth aunt was stunned, she suddenly heard someone calling her not far away.

"Fifth aunt, fifth aunt, why are you still here?"

The fifth aunt was so lost in thought that she didn't react at first. Only after the man called her several times did she come back to her senses and look in the direction of the voice.

The person who called her was Xu San.

Because of the snowy weather, Xu San's tofu stall vacated the stall early before noon and returned home. However, not long after arriving home, his door was knocked open.

At that time, Xu San was packing things in the tofu shop. When he heard someone knocking on the door, Xu San was puzzled for a while. He really didn't expect who would come to his home at this time.

When the courtyard door opened, he saw a man wearing coarse linen clothes. He had a dark face, a broad forehead and wide ears. At first glance, he must have come from the killing ground.

"This big brother, I'm looking for..."

When Xu San just opened the courtyard door, he just took a general look at the other person's face. Now he took a closer look and found that the man's face was solemn, as if he had something to ask of him, and he was holding a linen bundle in his hand.

He seems to attach great importance to this, presumably it has something to do with the linen burden.

"Is this Sundelin's home?"

The man's accent was obviously not from Kyoto Prefecture, but rather from the northwest.

"Northwest?" Xu San secretly muttered his guess, but this guess reminded him of the fifth aunt's son. He should also be in the northwest, but the fifth aunt's son was called "Gouwa", not

The "Sundelin" the other party is looking for.

"Sun Delin?" Xu San frowned and began to search his memory to see if he had ever seen this person named "Sun Delin".

However, there was no trace of this name in Xu San's memory, so he could only shake his head at the dark man outside.

When the swarthy man heard Xu San's answer, he looked disappointed for a while. Then he thanked Xu San in a heavy accent unique to the border, and then turned and left.

Xu San was even more surprised when he heard the swarthy man's accent, and thought to himself: "Is he really from the northwest?"

Thinking of this, Xu San asked the dark man who had not gone far: "Brother, where are you from?"

The swarthy man stopped when he heard Xu San calling him, then turned around and said to Xu San: "Northwest."

It's not that the swarthy man is aloof, it's just that the northwest accent is too strong, and he's afraid that if he talks too much, people here in Kyoto Prefecture won't understand, and it will delay things.

Hearing the exact answer given by the dark-skinned man, Xu San was even more shocked, thinking that he might have guessed it.

"It's better to ask the fifth aunt to come and take a look. If she is really looking for her son, it would be a pity if she missed it."

Thinking of this, Xu San said to the swarthy man: "Brother, come and sit at my house for a while. I know a friend from the northwest. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know if he is the person you are looking for. But his name is me."

I really don’t know. You come in first and I’ll find someone for you. If it’s really the person you’re looking for, I’ll save you the trouble. If not, you’ll just come to my house to have a rest. It’s fate.

.”

The swarthy man thought for a while, but he didn't want to refuse, so he agreed.

"Okay, I happen to be thirsty too. Brother, can you give me some water to drink?"

Seeing that Xu San was very enthusiastic, the swarthy man stopped "cherishing words like gold" and spoke in his heavy northwest accent.

Xu San had been to the northwest before, otherwise it would have taken a while to react to whatever the other party said.

The swarthy man seemed worried that Xu San wouldn't understand him, so he explained: "My accent is a bit strong."

After he finished speaking, the dark-skinned man actually laughed. He looked very honest and honest, not like the ruffians in the rumors who were rough, bold and informal.

Xiu'er was cleaning up the dishes she had just finished eating in the house. When the swarthy man knocked on the door, Xiu'er also heard it, but she didn't expect that after a while, Xu San actually took that man home.

"Xiu'er, this is..."

Only then did Xu San remember that he still didn't know the other person's name.

"My name is Batulu." Seeing Xu San like this, the dark man hurriedly introduced himself.

But the accent was much thicker, so Xiu'er took a long time to react before looking at Xu San for help.

In fact, for the name Batulu

Xu San was also a little surprised, because when he heard the name, he knew that this swarthy man was a foreigner. It was just that there were more foreigners in the northwest border, so it was not unusual. On the contrary, after coming to Kyoto Prefecture, this foreigner became a rarity.

Xu San then told Xiu'er the purpose of the dark man's coming here, and then asked: "Batulu is here to find someone. Is there anyone named Sundelin around us?"

Xiu'er thought for a while and then said: "The fifth aunt's family seems to be surnamed Sun, but I don't know if anyone in her family has this name."

When Xu San heard what Xiu'er said, she hurriedly slapped her thigh and said, "It's the fifth aunt's house. That's right."

Then he turned his attention to Batulu and said, "You wait here for now, and I'll call Aunt Five for you."

Xu San didn't think much, and hurriedly ran out of his house and ran towards the fifth aunt's vegetable stall.

When Xu San arrived at the vegetable stall, Aunt Wu was still counting the money that would be used to transfer back the garrison.

"Fifth aunt, fifth aunt, why are you still here?"

When the fifth aunt saw that it was Xu San, she asked curiously: "Why are you back? Is it because the garrison thing is not done?"

"Don't worry about whether it works or not, let me ask you first, fifth aunt, what is the dog's name?"

Fifth Aunt was stunned when she was asked, but she didn't answer immediately.

Seeing Aunt Wu standing there in shock, Xu San urged again: "What is your son's name?"

The fifth aunt calmed down and then said: "My son... is called Gouwa."

Now Xu San was almost dying of worry from his fifth aunt, so he said again: "I'm talking about your name, your name!"

"My name is..." The fifth aunt seemed to have not called the dog boy by his name for a long time. Now that Xu San asked him, she couldn't remember it.

Xu San looked anxious and said, "There is a man coming to my house. He seems to be from the northwest."

"Northwest?" When the fifth aunt heard the word northwest, she immediately became energetic and asked, "Is there someone coming from my son?"

"I don't know if I'm looking for your son, so I came to ask what your son's name is."

"My name is..." Fifth Aunt thought for a while, and then slowly spit out three words from her mouth, "Sun Delin."
