The next day, Yu Sheng stayed in the inn, and the two men went to Yangzhou City.
He slept until three o'clock in the morning and got up. When he and Aunt Qing went downstairs, they saw Cao'er standing at the door of the inn, looking eastward.
"What are you looking at?"
"Liu Liu should have been here long ago." Cao'er said.
"It's still early, so I'm probably still sleeping." Yu Sheng poured himself a bowl of tea.
"Assume others are as lazy as you." Li Zheng walked in and placed a small bag of dry goods next to the counter.
Most of these dry goods were wild vegetables such as mushrooms, which Li picked while clearing the peach grove behind the town or cutting firewood.
In previous years, I would have dried a lot of them and sent them to the inn, but this year it has been hot and rainy, so I have only saved these so far.
In Li Zheng's hand, he also had freshly picked raspberries and young sunflower seeds, which he also casually placed on the counter.
"I just picked it. I can't finish it and I brought it to you." Li Zheng said, then he picked up the bowl of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
After harvesting the rest of my life, "Are you done working in the fields?"
"We're just waiting for the threshing." Li Zheng said, "If it doesn't rain again, we'll have to ask someone to pray for rain."
Praying for rain? In my memory for the rest of my life, the town has not prayed for rain for a long time, and the rain praying ceremony has only been heard from the mouths of the villagers.
Putting down the tea bowl, Li Zheng said: "By the way, I just have some money left, so I can take over the wine bill."
Aunt Qing raised her head and said, "Isn't it the post-Autumn period where you're settling accounts?"
"There is only one guest in the inn. I'm afraid you won't be able to make any money and will close down." Li Zheng joked.
"No, we collect money anyway. Some inns always have people evading their bills, so they can still operate." Yu Sheng said casually.
"Is there such an inn?" Li Zheng didn't believe it.
"Yes, the shopkeeper is not the cook yet." Yu Sheng said.
"That must be a black shop." Li Zheng said.
"Woo~" Yu Sheng wanted to discuss the success of this inn with Li Zheng, but was interrupted by a burst of crying.
"What's going on?" Yu Sheng saw Baozi walking in with tears in his eyes.
"He must have been beaten." Li Zheng handed the copper coins to Aunt Qing.
"The fourth child took away my money." Baozi sobbed.
As soon as she put the money into the money jar, Aunt Qing looked up and asked, "What should I teach you?"
"No, it's nothing." Yu Sheng said.
But Baozi raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Sheng hid the money and asked me where I hid it so that the fourth child wouldn't find it."
"Bad boy~" Yu Sheng said pretentiously.
Baozi raised his head stubbornly, the affection in his eyes self-evident, "Come on, let's hurt each other."
"Retribution is unpleasant." Aunt Qing said.
Under the threat of Aunt Qing, Yu Sheng was reluctant to take out the copper coins hidden in the black cat Sheriff's cat nest under the stairs.
In the inn, the Black Cat Sheriff brothers are the only two loyal ones.
Li Zhengze was teaching Baozi a lesson, "No matter how big or small you are, you are the one who called me fourth."
Baozi said: "I haven't called him Qizhi yet."
Baozi's father had three fingers bitten off by a fish demon, so the villagers occasionally called him Qizhier.
Li Zheng raised his hand, but Baozi flinched, "If you don't yell, don't bark. I'll call him Fourth Brother Head Office."
"It needs to be dealt with." Yu Sheng glared.
"You call him Fourth Brother, and I call you Shengge, shouldn't I call him Fourth Brother?" Baozi said plausibly.
Yu Sheng was speechless, and Li Zheng pointed his gun at Yu Sheng, "It's all your brats. I can't act like an uncle."
"Isn't this young?" Yu Sheng muttered. Baozi was three or four years older than him, and he couldn't stand calling him uncle.
"Brother Sheng, where is Uncle Bai?" Baozi looked around.
"Xi Qian, what are you doing with Bai Xingxuan?"
"I want to be a demon-hunting master!" Baozi said, with tears still hanging on his face, "This way I can wield my sword in all directions and leave Laosi forever."
Yu Sheng felt a little familiar. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this was a replica of his search for human traffickers in his previous life.
"You have ambition." Yu Sheng said, "You have the same demeanor as I did back then."
"Don't be ashamed." Li Zheng said, "At that time, you were bragging about how the city lord is your fellow countryman. After contacting him, he will be very successful in his career."
"I'm not wrong. We live in Yangzhou City, so of course we are from the same hometown." Yu Sheng said.
As for communication, I really tried it in Yu Sheng, but it failed.
Aunt Qing looked up at Yu Sheng and remembered some note about "being a human bear".
"Don't distract me," Baozi said, "I want to learn martial arts, travel to the ends of the world, and never come back."
"Haha~" The man sitting drinking in the lobby smiled casually and said with emotion, "Kid, you'd better just talk."
"Why?"
"There are many reasons to leave home, but all of them are to go back." Suiyu turned around and looked at the buns, and found the shadow of his past.
He also dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with his sword, seeing the prosperity of the world, and making himself different.
He was also young and frivolous, thinking that his life would be completely different when he came back after leaving.
But after I really left, "The wilderness is too big. If I'm not careful, I will never be able to go back. I can only live everywhere." Suiyu said.
Baozi was startled, "Why can't it go back? Can it still grow legs and run away?"
Suiyu smiled bitterly, "Home will always be where it is, but people will run away."
"I left my hometown eighteen years ago, and I told myself that I would return home with honor in ten years."
"Ten years ago, my companions and I encountered a strange gust of wind when we were hunting monsters."
"When the wind stopped, all my companions were dead, and I was the only one alive, but I was already south of Dongshan Mountain."
Suiyu said: "If I want to return to my hometown, I will have to walk for at least two hundred years."
He looked at the stunned three people and said, "You see, sometimes once you leave, you really can't go back."
"This strange wind..." Yu Sheng asked, "Isn't it a bull demon you caught?"
He shook his head casually, "A fox demon, what, do you know the origin of this strange wind?"
