Rebirth Night Expedition Far River

Chapter 65

Huai'an is famous for its apricot blossoms. Every year in late April, the Apricot Blossom Festival is held.

On the Apricot Blossom Festival, single young men and women will show off a delicate apricot flower on the edge of their sleeves. Women embroider it on the right sleeve, and men embroider it on the left, indicating that they have not yet had a sweetheart.

For those who have expressed their hearts to each other, the man can ask the elders in the family to make an apricot flower cake and send it to the other party's home. If the other party's family accepts it, the two families can sit down and discuss the marriage.

Huai'an is full of apricot blossoms. At the beginning of the year, there are layers of apricot blossoms, like clouds and clouds. In the middle of blooming, the flowers are brilliant, just like butterflies flying lightly. When the flowers fall, they are crystal clear, like snow falling.

Just after a spring rain, the city is filled with a light and elegant fragrance.

Wen Jiang only felt that the pain of yesterday was gone with the apricot blossoms flying all over the sky, took a deep breath, and said comfortably: "The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty." He turned his head to the side Xie Zheng, walking side by side, said: "I wonder if there is apricot blossom wine here?"

Xie Zheng thought for a while before saying: "Huai'an Xinghua is well known in the world, but it seems that there is no Xinghua wine. Why, do you want to drink?"

"Well, I received a letter from my grandmother a few days ago, saying that Qiulubai had been made, and immediately hooked the wine worms out of my belly. The aroma of apricot blossoms is light and refreshing. If it is made into wine, the taste must be very unique. "

Xie Zheng smiled: "Then you can try to do it yourself, when we get to Abo's place, we will have to live there for a while."

Wen Jiang clapped his hands: "Brother Xie said that there is nothing to do for the time being anyway, and it is time to develop new things. Hehe, I will rely on you to help me try something new."

"I'm looking forward to it." Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Looking at Xie Zheng with a warm smile, Wen Jiang couldn't help but think of that gentle kiss yesterday evening.

"Brother Xie, are we going directly to the government office to find Abo?"

Xie Zheng said: "No need, Xiao Shan and I agreed to meet at the Yuelai Inn, and we will go find Abo together."

"Yuelai Inn? Ah, isn't that also owned by the sect?"

"Yes."

The two of them walked towards the inn after saying this. When they saw the waiter here, Wen Jiang deliberately looked him up and down, but it seemed that the other party was a real waiter and had no other identity.

Xie Zheng saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Not everyone is like Chai Jun. Luocheng is more cautious than other places because Chang Yu is often there."

Wen Jiang nodded to express his understanding. The city of Los Angeles is probably similar to the status of the modern XX Group's XX Regional Branch.

The waiter in the shop saw two well-dressed people walking towards him, and hurriedly greeted him: "May I ask you two to be objective, should you stay at the top or stay in the shop."

"Second brother." Wen Jiang spoke first: "I want to ask you about two people, a man older than me and a boy younger than me. Are there two people staying in the hotel these two days?"

The shop clerk thumped his fist after thinking about it for a while and said: "Yes, there are indeed two such guest officials who lived in the day before yesterday, and you two are—"

"Oh, we are friends, we have an appointment to meet again, can you please take us to find them?" Wen Jiang said while taking out a small piece of broken silver and putting it in the second-hand store.

The waiter in the shop was immediately overjoyed, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "Of course, please go this way, they live in Tianzi No. [-] room."

The two walked upstairs behind the shop waiter, Wen Jiang took the opportunity to wink at Xie Zheng, and Xie Zheng smiled.

"This is the room. I came early today, and I didn't see the two of them going out. They should still be in the room." The waiter said thoughtfully.

Wen Jiang nodded: "Thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do, then you two will catch up with your friends first, and the younger one will go to work first."

"Ok."

As soon as the waiter's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, the door was opened, and the tall and tall figure of Xiao Shan appeared in front of the two of them, and said in a surprised tone: "Xiao Qi, Mr. Xie, you are here!"

Just as Wen Jiang was about to speak, he saw a figure rushing out of it and plunged into his arms, muttering to himself, "Brother Wen is a liar! Leave Xiaodiu alone! Lie Xiaodiu!"

Wen Jiang was almost knocked down by him, but fortunately Xie Zheng who was at the side stretched out his hand to support his back.

"Wait for Xiaodiu! Do you have any grievances waiting to go in and talk about it?" Wen Jiang grabbed Shen Song's arm and pulled him into the room: "Brother Xiaoshan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I suddenly had a fever last night, so I delayed a little .”

Xiao Shan was concerned: "How is it now? Are you feeling better? If you don't feel well, don't rush here. Actually, Xiao Diu and I have only arrived here not long ago."

Shen Song also snuggled up, looking up at Wen Jiang, his little face was full of worry: "Brother Wen, are you sick, are you still uncomfortable? Did I hurt you just now?"

Wen Jiang gently pinched his face and jokingly said, "It hurts so much, did Xiaodiu secretly eat a lot of good things these days, and he's gaining weight."

Shen Song covered his face: "No!"

Wen Jiang laughed loudly, and said to Xiao Shan: "It's all healed, thanks to Brother Xie for taking care of me, and also found me a herbal decoction for me to drink, you see, I don't have a fever at all now, and my whole body is full of strength. "

Xiao Shan said: "Be more careful. Huai'an is in the north. Although it's late April, it's still a bit chilly. I've been watching Xiao Song for the past few days. He always thinks he's wearing too much clothes."

When Shen Song heard him talking about himself, he made a face at him, and then rubbed against Wen Jiang. He hadn't seen Wen Jiang for several days. He missed Brother Wen very much. Xiao Shan looked honest, but Wen Jiang and Xie Zheng were not there. At that time, I was very strict with myself. Although I served delicious and delicious food, the snacks were strictly controlled, especially the sweets. Because I just complained about a toothache when I replied last time, Abo sent a letter saying I ate a little too much candy recently, so I asked Brother Wen to watch it, and Brother Wen told Xiao Shan about it again. As a result, Xiao Shan strictly controlled the amount of candy he ate every day, and even privately stipulated that it should not be too much in a day As for five, five are not enough for him for half a day.

But no matter how much he plays and rolls (he dare not roll, for fear of staining his clothes, Brother Wen would say) Xiao Shan will never give him half a candy.

What a Fakaisen! (This is what Wen Jiang taught him) sleeves

It can be regarded as seeing Wen Jiang today, Shen Song tugged on his sleeve and kept complaining.

Wen Jiang comforted him with a smile, and then let him go after promising to cook him something delicious.

Xiao Shan said helplessly to Wen Jiang: "Seeing you today, he has found a backer."

Wen Jiang laughed: "I can't help it. As soon as Xiao Diu looked at me pitifully, I surrendered, completely powerless to resist."

Xiao Shan shook his head, then said to Xie Zheng: "When shall we go to Abo and the others?"

Xie Zheng said: "In the afternoon, Huai'an is close to the capital, and there are a lot of mundane affairs. Abo just took office not long ago. Although he is very capable, I am afraid that he is often weak. We came here suddenly to look for him this time, but it is disturbing him."

Xiao Shan scratched his head and smiled, "Abo would be very happy if he saw us."

Shen Song's eyes sparkled: "I will definitely! Abo said that he misses me very much, and Xiaodiu also misses Abo very much!"

Wen Jiang also said from the side: "I think so, why don't we make some delicious snacks and send them to him!"

Shen Song immediately circled Wenjiang happily: "Dim sum! Dim sum! Delicious dim sum! Xiao Diu is also here to help!"

Wen Jiang said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Diu is also here to help." Turning to Xie Zheng, he said: "Then let's go downstairs and borrow the kitchen."

Xie Zheng nodded, and he went downstairs with Shen Song.

After both of them had gone out, Xie Zheng suddenly said, "What did you find out?"

It turned out that as soon as Xie Zheng and the others got out of the village and got in touch with their own people, Xie Zheng sent someone to contact Xiao Shan first, asking him to find some people to investigate that weird village.

Because the sky was dark before, Xie Zheng didn't care, so he walked into the village. Later, Wen Jiang suddenly had a fever, and Xie Zheng went out to find herbs for him. Only then did he find that the village seemed to be protected by a formation, but the people in the village He didn't seem to know about it. In the conversation with Mr. Li, he learned that people in the village almost never went out, so he didn't know that he was protected by a formation.

He and Wen Jiang went in by accident, and only touched the formation when he consciously went to the forest, but fortunately he knew something about it, so he was able to get in and out safely.

Then he heard Wen Jiang tell him that when he went out to collect herbs, a stranger came to the house, and he was a young man, but when he inquired about the village during the day, it was mostly old people, women and children, and there were no young men. That's why I feel that the village is weird, but at that time there were only the two of them, and others were secretly in the dark. Moreover, the other party kindly took them in. It would be bad if they took the initiative to provoke trouble, so they planned to leave first.

But when he left, he also felt that someone was observing them in the dark. This person was extraordinary, at least on par with him. With Xiao Qi still by his side, he could only protect Xiao Qi to leave first. Fortunately, The man didn't do anything to them either, presumably just to watch them go.

But he then thought that although the village was not too close to Huai'an, after understanding it, he found that it was within the jurisdiction of the county magistrate of Huai'an. In this way, he felt that he should at least understand the origin of the village. The road is at ease.

So he directly asked someone to contact Xiaoshan to inquire about it.

"Mr. Xie's expectations are not bad, that village is indeed extraordinary." Xiao Shan said in a deep voice.

Xie Zheng said indifferently: "Why is it unusual?"

"They are not locals, but we can't find out where they came from. Using our own people, we can only find out that they are probably from the southwest. Bai Shuanzi, who didn't know anything, shook his head and said he couldn't say anything."

"Can't say?" Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows, he couldn't say, not because he didn't know, he didn't know, it meant that they didn't appear out of thin air, at least there were traces to follow, but Bai Shuanzi remained silent. "What else did he say?"

"Mr. Xie is really good at predicting things. Although Bai Suanzi refused to say anything, he left us a message. He said that this is a promise he made." Xiao Shan whispered.

Xie Zheng was sitting at the table, and when he heard this, he hummed, and said lightly: "Forget it, since Bai Shuanzi is unwilling to say anything, let's not investigate further, let the monitoring brothers Withdrew them all, and ignored them for the time being.”

"Mr. Xie, then Abo—"

"When I asked you to send someone to investigate, did someone tell you anything?" Xie Zheng asked back.

Xiao Shan was stunned, and after a while he said: "Could it be that Abo's side—"

Xie Zheng nodded and said nothing.

Xiao Shan asked anxiously, "Is Abo in danger?"

"With Lu Ping by Abo's side, I'm not worried, and I think these people, even if they came for Abo, they didn't want to harm him." Xie Zheng speculated.

"Then they are—"

"It's not about harming him, it might be about using him." Xie Zheng said this coldly.
