Nightfall Chapter 63: One generation, two bowls of fried egg noodles

Chapter 63, People of the World, Two Bowls of Fried Egg Noodles

Lin 47 Lane was dark at night, the door of Lao Bi Zhai was pushed open, and then quickly closed, the dim lights inside flashed like stars and then went out again.

Ning Que lowered the heavy weapon behind him, tore off the cloth cover on the outside of the **** umbrella, and took off his wet and heavy coat, and handed it to Sangsang who was standing in front of him. He usually asked: "Hungry. Is the noodles cooked yet?"

Sangsang handed him the dry towel in his hand, nodded emphatically, and said happily, "I will bring it to you."

A hot bowl of noodle soup was brought up. It was still four peppers, but the chopped green onion was much more than usual. The golden and tender white omelette on the surface was extremely rare. Chopping people is indeed more tiring than hoeing the fields. Ning Que is now wet and hungry in his abdomen. How can he resist the temptation to add green onion fried egg noodles, his eyes light up, put down the slightly damp towel, and pick He picked up his chopsticks and ate suddenly, it seemed extremely sweet.

Sangsang saw that he was happy to eat, his dark little face was full of joy, he picked up the slightly damp towel, stood behind him and started wiping his hair, reminding him not to eat if it is too hot Too fast.

At this moment, there were two coughs in the dimly lit shop. The Chang'an city boss, who was always ignored, as if invisible, watched the master and servant turn a blind eye to the conversation, and finally couldn't help but say: "The face is very fragrant."

A few hours ago, the first sentence from Chao Xiaoshu to Lao Bi Zhai was also these words.

Sangsang continued to wipe Ning Que's hair, as if he hadn't seen this person or heard this sentence. Ning Que's reaction was somewhat different from earlier. He lowered his head and ate the noodle soup and said vaguely, "Give him a bowl."

After a while, the second bowl of noodle soup was brought up, and he looked around at the small tree, and found that there were no seats except the armchair, and didn't care about it, so he squatted down beside Ning Que and ate with chopsticks. After a few mouthfuls, I realized that my noodles seemed a little different from the noodles in Ning Que's bowl.

The standard four peppercorns, 30 green onions, but no fried eggs.

He couldn't help but picked up his chopsticks and tapped on the edge of Ning Que's bowl to remind him. Ning Que glanced at it from the corner of the light, almost laughed, and turned to persuade Sangsang, "Don't be too stingy. Fry another egg."

The fried egg finally came, Ning Que and Chao Xiaoshu were holding a small basin-like sea bowl and eating noodles happily. Sangsang squatted not far in front of the two of them, putting the clothes and cloth cover in the copper basin. Burned, no one in the shop spoke.

I don’t know how long it took, Ning Que put down the bowl in his hand, leaned back comfortably, rubbed his bulging belly, looked at the little tree who was squatting beside him, and said: "The man I killed It’s over five, and you will re-report the number... Don’t be stingy, I asked Sangsang to add fried eggs to you."

Holding a bowl of noodles towards Xiaoshu, looking at him with a wry smile, he said: "So I am waiting for me here, two thousand taels."

"Deal." Ning Que seemed casual, but he was a little excited. As for Sangsang, who was squatting beside the copper basin and burning his clothes, he clenched his small fist tightly and secretly calculated two thousand taels. How big a pile of silver must be.

Sangsang was about to wash the dishes, and reluctantly handed over the bowl with a small bowl of noodle soup to Xiaoshu, then frowned slightly, and slowly raised his sleeve corners to cover his lips. When he put it down, his sleeves were already There are more blood stains.

Ning Que looked at his sleeves and knew that this extremely powerful middle-aged man had suffered serious injuries in the previous battles. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is it all right?"

To the little tree, he took a bowl of thick tea that Sangsang handed over, smiled to express his gratitude, took a sip, and said calmly: "Don’t worry, I grew up in the poor lanes of Dongcheng since I was a child. How many games, I don’t know how many times I have suffered more injuries than this. Every time the enemy looks at me covered in blood and thinks I will never get up again, I can always get up and give them a fatal blow."

Ning Que said with a mockery: "A **** who only knows about fighting and fighting can practice cultivation, and is so powerful. I am so concerned about the way of cultivation, but I can't even touch the first stage. Master Haotian is really blind. Eyes."

I smiled towards Xiaoshu and did not continue this topic. The leader of the gang who had been soaked in the dark night rivers and lakes of Chang'an City would eventually become a great sword master of Dongxuan. There were some opportunities in the process, but those opportunities were not worth it.

"You said that after tonight, your hole cards will be revealed."

Ning Que's gaze passed through the wooden door of the shop and fell to a corner of the palace wall in the distance, and said: "Now I can probably guess that your trump card is in the palace, with such a deep background. No wonder you don't need to look at it. The face of Chang'an Mansion."

"After tonight, probably the entire empire will envy me, because there is such a person standing behind me." Chao Xiaoshu said calmly: "But no one will know what I have given for it."

"What do you need to do to do things for the nobles in the palace?" Ning Que asked.

Smile at the little tree and said: "If I hadn't been entangled in mundane affairs these years, I would have to deal with countless trivial things, or I would have broken through the cave and stepped into The realm of destiny."

"That's it?" Ning Que continued to ask.

Chao Xiaoshu didn't know what he thought of, and fell into a long silence. His smile became a little faint, and he said slowly: "You still need to pay blood and take the overall situation into consideration when you do things, so sometimes you can't be happy. Because To force all the opponents’ hole cards, it took me several months to forbear, so I couldn’t even protect my brother."

Hearing these words, Ning Que's right hand tightened slightly, knowing that he was talking about Xiao Heizi, but he didn't answer the conversation, didn't tell the relationship between himself and Xiao Heizi, and asked, "You How did that brother die?"

"My brother is called Zall, he is a spy. The military department asked him to lurch by my side and asked him to check if I had colluded with Moon Nation. In fact, he was just trying to find an excuse for doing Chunfeng Pavilion. May be directly planted on me."

"But the brother is a brother after all. He told me all the inside information. Naturally, he would not check me for the military department, and he would not plant me in accordance with the military order. And he, as my Datang soldier, It’s impossible to betray the secrets of his fellow officials, so it’s very painful for him to be caught in the middle these months."

The eyes drooped towards Xiaoshu and said, "Now that I think about it, even if I make the palace angry, I should tell him the truth earlier, maybe he will die eventually, but at least not during that time. So painful."

Ning Que asked casually: "But you still didn't say how he died."

"The spy is the most dangerous kind of work. When he does not fall to any side, he may die anytime and anywhere, and when he decides to fall to one of them, he is more likely to usher in death. That day he Finally decided to tell me the plan of the military department. The result was noticed by the military department, so he was purged and died on the opposite side of this shop."

Look at the wooden door of the shop towards the little tree and the gray wall that is invisible.

Ning Que was silent for a moment and asked: "It was the previous Southern Jin sword master who did it?"

"Yes." Looking back towards the young tree, Qingzhi's face, smiled and said, "I will be a brother from now on."

Ning Que raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile: "Will it be too childish?"

Chao Xiaoshu laughed and said, "One generation and two brothers, this kind of thing is so simple."

"One generation, but two bowls of fried egg noodles."

Ning Que shook his head and smiled and said: "The word brother is a bit abused, and the famous brothers I know, if some of them are not lucky to die first, then these brothers will eventually turn against each other. Tonight I just want to Help you, earn some money by the way, can you stop being so tacky and find some other meaning in your life?"

Slowly frowned towards the tip of Xiaoshu's eyebrows, and looked at Ning Que with interest. It was a little surprised to hear such a reply and asked: "At your age, the world in your eyes is so dark... …I’m really curious about your past. If you are interested in telling it to me in the future, please remember to call me and I will ask for tea."

Ning Que replied: "I don't want to recall those things myself, let alone tell the story to others."

Smile at the tree and said: "Well, besides fried egg noodles, what is the real meaning of your life?"

"The meaning of life is of course career and love, or money and women. I know you think this sentence is very good, and I think I am a very good person, but can you not laugh so unpredictably?"

Ning Que shook his head helplessly. In order to let the Changan city boss understand the meaning, he pointed to Sangsang who had just walked over and asked, "Which girl in the red sleeve trick do you think is suitable for your young lady?" "

Sangsang wiped her little hand on her apron, then frowned for a long time and carefully said, "I think the second **** your left will be fine." /

"That's Miss Lu Xue." Ning Que thought about the girl's soft waist, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think this girl is suitable for my wife?"

Sangsang opened those willow eyes and replied seriously: "The makeup on her face is evenly thin, she feels clean when she smiles, her teeth are white, she feels healthy when she looks, and I have secretly seen her waist and hips , It should be easy to have children in the future."

Ning Que turned his head and smiled triumphantly at the little tree.

Looking at the little tree at the dimple on his left cheek, he thought to himself in a daze, guarding a shop every day, and discussing with his underage maid about which prostitute is suitable for childbirth and for being his own wife. Is this the way of life? significance?

Suddenly he thought of the little maid leaning against the shop door before leaving Lao Bi Zhai, thinking of the two bowls of hot omelette noodles after returning to Lao Bi Zhai, thinking of himself who had been forgotten in the corner before, thinking of this To the feeling that the master and servant are so natural that no one can penetrate, I gradually understood something, smiled and said: "The original meaning of life is life."

Ning Que shook his head and smiled and said, "It's sour, this is too sour."

Looking at the young tree’s expression, knowing that he didn’t understand what he was talking about, he naturally wouldn’t touch those things. He stood up and walked to the shop door, turned his head and smiled and said, "I should go. There are still many things to deal with in Chang'an City tonight. Someone will come to you tomorrow, and then he will take you to a place."

Hearing the last few words of this sentence, Ning Que's face showed a vigilant look. He didn't ask where to go, but directly asked the key point of the matter: "Can you not go?"

Pushing open the wooden door of the shop towards Xiaoshu, he said neatly: "No."
