The three figures stretched very long under the sunlight. The lame Wen Wuji was holding a bamboo stick, but his speed was not slow at all. He kept urging the bad guy Zhao Lu who was walking in front.
"Boss Wen, don't rush me! The little girl will be fine in the movie. Besides, what's wrong with the kid who's hungry for one or two meals?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you a try after two hungry meals. I'm not afraid of anything else. People in this world are in decline. What if this child is kidnapped?"
Wen Ran wanted to step forward to help his father, but Wen Wuji broke away: "Wen Ran, don't help me, my father's legs and feet can still bear it."
They came to the house at the end of the winding alley. The sycamore trees outside the wall seemed to be withered, and leaves kept falling. Zhao Lu pointed to the door and said, "Yes, this is the house."
He quickly stepped forward and pushed hard. Not only was it bolted inside, but the top door rod was also supported.
"Little girl from the Li family, open the door quickly!"
…
"Cough, cough, who is it?"
Wen Ran wanted to laugh after hearing this. A childish voice pretending to be an old man's voice made people laugh. She seemed to see a girl's shuffling footsteps coming out from the crack in the door.
Li Meier was very alert. She didn't open the door. She looked into the crack in the door and asked, "Who are you?"
"It's me!" Zhao Lu put his face close to the crack of the door and said with a smile on his face: "Your brother's colleagues, you remember me, right? I rented this house to you."
Li Meier shook his head decisively: "I don't know you. My brother will be back soon. What he hates most is strangers."
"Hey! Little girl! Do you dare to say you haven't seen me?" Zhao Lu jumped angrily on the side.
"Just not."
Wen Ran pursed her lips and smiled. This little girl was as smart as a child, cute and sensible. She stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Lu away and said, "Brother Zhao, let me try."
She squatted opposite the crack in the door, showed an infectious smile and said: "Your name is Li Mei'er, I am Wen Ran, your brother Li Siye's friend. Your brother has to handle a big case, and these dozen
You can't go home for days, so you asked us to come find you and pick you up to stay with us for a few days."
Li Mei'er stared blankly into Wen Ran's eyes. She didn't know if she could believe the sister in the crack of the door. But she didn't dare to go out because of fear. She had already been hungry twice at home. If she continued to be hungry, she would really
I starved myself to death.
"Sister, you must be a bad person."
"Yes, bah, no, I'm not a bad person." Wen Ran was stumbled by Li Meier's unexpected question and asked with a smile: "How can you think that my sister is a bad person? My sister is really your brother's friend.
How can you believe it?"
Li Meier lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Okay, let me ask you, what does my brother look like?"
Wen Ran felt a little embarrassed. When he visited Li Siye in prison yesterday, he didn't pay much attention to Li Siye. In addition, it was already evening and the cell was very dark. He only remembered that Li Siye was a very tall and strong man, and he was also very sexual and courageous.
lecher.
"Your brother is a big guy, very tall and strong, right?"
"That's right. You got the answer right." Li Mei'er stepped forward to open the door stop and took off the stick on top of the door. She pulled the door panel inward, and Wen Ran was still squatting in front of her.
Li Meier glanced at this beautiful sister, and then started to look at the pancakes in her basket. The brown pancakes exuded the fragrance of sugar candies. Li Meier swallowed unconsciously, and even her stomach rumbled.
Got up.
Wen Ran raised the basket in front of her, picked up one and handed it to her hand: "This cake was originally bought for you, Mei'er, eat it quickly."
Li Meier stretched out her hand to take the cake, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it. It looked like she was really hungry. Wen Ran felt compassionate. She had also been hungry before, and the feeling was very uncomfortable, so she became more and more hungry.
Sympathy for Li Meier.
Wen Ran said angrily: "The elder brother is really irresponsible. He actually left his sister alone at home."
When Li Meier heard this, he quickly stopped chewing and raised his head to retort: "Brother is not what you think. He just makes money for Meier and forgets about time."
The bad guy Zhao Lu wanted to say something, but Wen Ran looked back and said to herself, "Of course I know, I mean, if your brother really cares about you, he shouldn't do bad things."
This is what people do for a living.”
The cripple Wen Wuji coughed and interrupted his daughter's complaint. He looked at the old and spacious yard, nodded and said: "The yard is not bad, but you can't live here anymore. Come with us to Wenjixiang
Go out and wait for your brother to come back. Can you come back?"
Wen Wuji's voice sounded very thick and sincere, leaving no room for thought of refutation.
Li Meier nodded in agreement: "Okay, you guys wait a minute while I go into the house to clean up."
Zhao Lu felt that it was ridiculous. He leaned against the courtyard wall with his hands on his hips and said, "You still have to clean up. It's just your tattered belongings. What do you have to clean up?"
Li Meier disliked Zhao Lu very much. Maybe she felt that he overcharged his brother when renting a house, so he didn't look good on him.
"You don't have to worry about it."
She quickly walked into the east room, rolled up the quilt and sheep felt that were spread out on the straw mat, blocked the water jar where her brother had hidden his money, spread out the quilt and sheep felt again, and hid the water jar in
It got rolled in the middle.
Her method of hiding money was not very clever. Wen Wuji and Wen Ran stood in the yard cooperatively and did not disturb Li Meier's thoughts, which made her feel very comfortable.
After going out, Wen Wuji locked the courtyard door with a copper lock. Wen Ran took Li Meier's hand and took her to the Wenji Incense Shop in Dunyifang.
Wenji Xiangpu is located at the intersection of Yong'an Canal and Dunyifang Street. You can see more than a dozen arch bridges on the canal. You can go down to the canal and take a boat along the steps on the embankment.
The location of the incense shop is not very ideal, but as the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. What's more, Wen Wuji's incense shop is unique in Dunyi Square, and its business has always been good. There are many family members of dignitaries.
Everyone comes here to buy all kinds of incense and incense.
For example, the person standing in front of Wen Wuji was the chief historian of the East Palace Palace. He accompanied his concubine to seek for the incense. The concubine temporarily forgot about him and was immersed in all kinds of fragrant cakes.
Sniff gently at the tip of your nose.
Wen Wuji chatted wordlessly with the chief minister, passing the boring time for the guests. After all, it was torture for a man to go shopping with his wife, and it has always been like this.
"Mr. Wen, do you have lotus-based incense in your incense shop?" the concubine turned around and asked.
"Yes, this is the piece you are holding."
"Fan Changshi, has there been any good news recently? I see that you look good and have more and more free time."
Chang Shi raised his moustache and smiled and said: "What good news can I have? It's just that the master is happy and the lives of our subordinates will be easier."
While selecting the sachet, the concubine turned around and added: "Recently, a huge lotus flower bloomed in the lotus pond of the East Palace. It is said that the fragrance spreads for ten miles. Everyone in the Prince's Palace thought it was a miracle, and even the saint personally visited it.
Went to see the lotus flowers.”
Wen Wuji was more thoughtful and kept these words in his heart.
"What kind of miracle is this? Don't talk nonsense. It's just a bit special at most." Fan Changshi seemed to be very taboo about his wife spreading it around.
The concubine's thoughts were divergent but did not stop, and she said in a daydream: "Can you secretly pick a petal from that lotus and ask Mr. Wen to make it into a fragrant and sew a sachet? It must be the most fragrant incense in the world."
bag."
Chang Shi was finally annoyed: "What kind of sachet do you want? There are so many sachets that are not enough for you! You are also thinking about the lotus in the East Palace. It is auspicious!"
The concubine looked aggrieved and muttered in a low voice: "Just now I said it was special, but now it's auspicious. I'm just saying it."
Wen Wuji looked at the faces of the two of them carefully, took the Peixiang in the concubine's hand to look at it, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want these kinds of fragrant cakes, madam?"
"I don't want any of these! Wrap it up for me!" The concubine took out all the anger she had just suffered from her husband on Wen Wuji.
Fan Changshi came over and paid, and the couple left the Wenji Incense Shop. Wen Ran, who was sitting on the ground on the back porch making incense, looked at his father's indifferent expression, and then glared at the backs of Chang Shi and his wife.
One look, as if her glare could kill someone.
Li Meier squatted in front of sister Wen Ran boredly, staring at her work without blinking.
Wen Wuji rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the counter, turned around and told his daughter, "I'll go out for a while, and you can take care of the store."
