Back Off, Let Me Come

How many people in the profession of counselor are slow-minded?

Liao Jia realized something in a blink of an eye, and his pupils trembled obviously. He suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath to steady his uncontrollably beating heart, and asked expectantly: "The Lord is asking, is it because he has seen a similar jade pendant somewhere?"

He looked nervously at Shen Tang's lips.

He was afraid that the other party would give an answer that was contrary to his expectations.

Shen Tang knew the importance of this matter to Lio Jia, so he naturally would not whet his appetite and was prepared to explain all the details happily. Just as he was about to speak, Cui Mi heard that Shen Tang had returned from an inspection outside and was ready to discuss matters with her. Stepping forward with his left foot, Shen Tang pointed at him with his right hand: "I have seen this jade pendant on Hou Bai."

Before Cui Mi could digest what this meant, a dark shadow passed before his eyes, and a face full of complex emotions approached in front of him. He ducked back suddenly, raised his hand to reject Lio Jia, and said, "Wait, it's not me, you got the wrong person!"

Liao Jia's emotions came to an abrupt end.

He looked carefully at Cui Mi's face, trying to find the shadow of his old friend in his eyebrows. After searching for a long time, I always felt that the other person's facial features were between similar and not at all similar, and he looked like a crowd: "I haven't spoken yet, how do you know what I am going to do? And how are you sure that I must have identified the wrong person?" ?”

Cui Mi was only willing to answer the latter question.

"You must have admitted your mistake because your age is not right."

Liao Jia's mind cooled down slightly.

As Cui Mi said, he was a few years younger than the person he was looking for. The latter has long passed his prime, and the young man in front of him still has an unpolished childlike look on his face. However, if we deny the speculation that Cui Mi is the son of an old friend, then why does he have half a jade pendant on his body? Is the real owner of the jade pendant still alive?

Before Lio Jia had time to feel the joy carefully, clues pointed to the worst outcome, and the ups and downs made him feel depressed. He secretly bit his back molars and suppressed the convulsive illusion: "Mr. Lang, can you tell me how you got that jade pendant? Where is the original owner of the jade pendant now? This matter is very important to Liao Mou!"

Cui Mi said: "I picked it up when I was bathing by the river that day."

The Southwest has more than 200 days of either cold or humid weather throughout the year. No matter how thin a summer shirt is, you will be covered in stinky sweat, let alone braving the sun for several hours. People who act like cows and horses have endless energy and endless chores every day. After a day or two, their skin will be sticky and their sleep will not be stable. Therefore, bathing is particularly diligent.

As evening approaches, the brave warriors who have finished their work dive into the water like dumplings. No matter the river, stream or other water, they just want to wash themselves off. Although Cui Mi came from a noble family, he was not so particular and would bathe outside just like them.

After taking a bath that day, he sat on a stone by the stream and waited to dry off. He saw something floating from upstream from a distance and got stuck in the stone. Curious, he stepped forward and pushed aside the stream stone, only to find that it was half a jade pendant. The texture of this jade pendant is of high quality, but what’s even more rare is its workmanship. Judging from the shape, it should have another half. The gap in the jade pendant is beautifully carved, and it can be rotated at a certain angle to form a complete piece. Cui Mi searched up the stream, but couldn't find anyone, so he could only come back with half of the jade pendant.

Liao Jia asked: "Where is the jade pendant?"

Cui Mi asked someone to go to his room to get it.

Lio Jia stared blankly at the two jade pendants that were perfectly aligned with each other. He habitually hid the endless pain in his heart. He made a judgment and analysis: "The color of the rope of this jade pendant is still bright. It should have been replaced last time." Within a year, it is very likely that the owner accidentally lost it while taking a bath... The person may still be in the county. "

Cui Mi added information.

"The stream was just cleared last month. It was specially dug to irrigate the newly cultivated fields nearby. There is a lot of noise nearby, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach without authorization. The only ones who are likely to go there to take a bath are the warriors. The person you are looking for may be among them." This may not be good news.

Those brave warriors are all rangers.

It is also possible that the jade pendant came from them for their "righteousness and chivalry".

Liao Jia can naturally think of this.

However, this is much better than finding a needle in a haystack at the beginning. Liao Jia couldn't wait to find someone with the jade pendant. Cui Mi raised his hand and held his arm, and the two looked at each other. Cui Mi looked stunned for a moment, then quickly ran away like an electric shock.

"At this hour, they should be taking a shower."

Everyone is naked, making it easy to see anything.

Liao Jia realized that Cui Mi's abilities were extraordinary and subconsciously looked at his master. Shen Tang nodded at him: "Go ahead."

The subtext is that Cui Mi is temporarily trustworthy.

Liao Jia cupped her hands and stepped back. Before she even stepped out of the threshold, she used the [Chasing the Wind and Sneaking Scenery] technique with one hand, turning it into a misty red shadow and blinking away. Cui Mi smiled and said, "Sister Shen, don't you want to go take a look?"

Shen Tang rolled his eyes and was not interested in Cui Mi's suggestion at all: "If you look at a piece of ass, what's there to see?"

Bathing and washing your hair by the water is a major local feature.

After taking a bath, rub your clothes together, including but not limited to holding your belly and crotch. On a rare day when the temperature was just right, Shen Tang went out for a walk and was caught off guard when he saw dozens of shirtless men bathing by the water. Standing in the shallow water, they only took off their upper body and were still wearing shields or shorts underneath. , only the part above the neck is exposed in a relatively deep place... I won’t say much about the picture. Men are like this, and some married women and older women will wash their clothes by the river and then take a bath in the water.

Similar scenes are rare in the northwest.

It's not that the people are more conservative than here, it's simply because the northwest is cold more often, and ordinary people will lose their lives if they catch a cold, and it's too luxurious to heat water at home to take a bath. Before Shen Tang promoted the earthen kang and built a perfume shop, taking a bath once a month was considered clean. Sure enough, the local environment nurtures the local people.

Shen Tang thought of something and smiled maliciously.

"But you can see Zun Guang's good show."

Shen Tang didn't reveal Liao Jia's real identity in front of Cui Mi. The [Zun Guang] she mentioned was Liao Jia, but it became someone else in Cui Mi's ears: "Master, have you guessed who the owner of the jade pendant is?"

Cui Mi just knew the identity of the owner of the jade pendant.

He saw several pictures on Liao Jia and basically determined who the other party was looking for. Cui Mi didn't say it purely because he didn't want to expose his ability, and he didn't like to interfere with other people's cause and effect. Even if he didn't say it, it would be a matter of time for Liao Jia to find someone.

Shen Tang said, "Won't you know if you go and see it?"

The two followed him.

The scene in Shen Tang's imagination was that Liao Jia was hiding in the dark, sneaking around to find someone. Sooner or later, his aura would be exposed, and he would probably be considered a pervert by the warriors who were bathing. If the situation got out of control, he would come forward to rescue Liao Jia. In fact, Liao Jia just walked to the water's edge calmly and openly, bent down to put his clogs neatly on the shore, and took off his outer shirt naturally.

The warriors who were taking a bath in the water to cool off the heat paid attention to him at first, but when they saw that he did not do anything unusual, they retracted their eyes one by one. Some were bathing, some were washing clothes, some were chatting... Even when Liao Jia was half wrapped in the water, they chatted with him: "This young man looks unfamiliar, is he also here because of his reputation?"

Liao Jia pinned up his long hair: "Yeah."

His peripheral vision inadvertently swept across everyone's waist.

He scanned more than a dozen people, but did not find the birthmark he wanted.

Until——

A target appeared in his sight.

There was a birthmark on the waist, the color was not very strong, and it was blocked by someone and could not be seen clearly. Liao Jia wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but the man turned around and the birthmark disappeared from his sight. Instead, there was a well-defined abdomen and crisscrossed old wounds. One of the most terrifying ones was almost diagonal from the waist to the thigh, and the mark was the deepest. Liao Jia looked up at his face.

Roubaozi: "..."

As a brave warrior, his perception of breath is naturally not weak. Liao Jia looked at him for more than ten breaths, and he felt like a thorn in his back! Just when he was about to teach a lesson to who was looking at him lightly, he saw the face he had just seen not long ago. The red-robed hairpin scholar brought by the 5-cent and 2-cent profiteer! The profiteer superior who had the same name, surname and character as himself and made him lose his real name! No, this person is sick, right?

Are literary scholars also used to bathing in the wild?

Looking at the other person's eyes and emotions from scrutiny, consideration, sudden realization to excitement, he had goose bumps all over his body and wanted to rebel. Good guy, this profiteer superior is not only black-hearted, but also gay? In a flash, he had an idea.

He secretly winked at his lackeys.

The two lackeys understood and sank into the water, pretending to swim. If he did something secretly, as long as he didn't catch the person and the evidence, he could only suffer the loss obediently, which was also a lesson for him. At this time, Liao Jia took out an object that he was very familiar with, and Roubaozi was instantly furious: "Okay, it turns out that the thief who stole my things is you!"

Liao Jia didn't even have time to say what he wanted to say.

Two forces suddenly came from his legs, pulling him down!

The other warriors heard the noise and didn't care what happened. They only knew that Liao Jia was a thief who stole things, and the things he stole were from their foreman! How could this be? Whether half of his body was soaked in water or his neck was in water, he would rush over with a wave.

Liao Jia: "..."

Shen Tang: "..."

Cui Mi patted the stone and laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked.

Although he had been spoiled by this scene, he still felt shocked when he watched it again! Liao Jia never thought that he would be surrounded by dozens of naked men one day. As soon as he was dragged into the water, he used his words. Shen Tang was keenly aware that there was more moisture in the air around him. He knew Liao Jia had played a trick without turning his head.

He swapped his position with Cui Mi.

Who made this kid laugh so loudly!

Shen Tang: "..."

Although he choked on the water twice, Liao Jia was in an unprecedentedly good mood. Not to mention the chaotic scene, at least he found someone. Liao Jia slowly put on his clothes: "The child just now is the one I'm looking for. He looks a bit like her, and he has a jade pendant and a birthmark on his waist..."

After searching everywhere, it was easy to find.

Liao Jia asked again: "The second son of the Cui family has some special abilities. He didn't know me but knew that I was looking for someone, and I almost mistook him for him... Maybe he was preparing for a rainy day? It's a pity that Luan Gongyi is not here, otherwise I could ask him what it is."

"You offended him, be careful that he will make trouble for you."

The influence of the Cui family in Qi State cannot be underestimated.

Perhaps it was because he found the son of an old friend that Liao Jia's depression was relieved by seven points, and his mind became clearer: "So what if he can prepare for a rainy day? The future he sees is just a possibility of the future, and I have three thousand poisonous plans, how many of them can he prevent?"

Liao Jia came to Qi State to stir up trouble this time.

"You caught the wrong person--"

"Stop it!"

When he discovered that the person being besieged had changed from Liao Jia to Erlangjun, Roubaozi's heart was about to fly, and the four words "My life is at stake" hung in his mind. After the chickens and dogs jumped over, the wet Cui Moose was fished out. Shen Tang did not show up, but just sent a message to Cui Mi and Roubaozi, asking them to come to him with Lio Jia.

Rou Baozi thought a disaster was coming.

"Chief Shen County...were you always here just now?"

Shen Tang said: "I accompanied Zun Guang here to look for someone."

Cui Mi realized that the "Zun Guang" mentioned by Shen Tang was not the same person as he thought, and his eyes fell on Lio Jia: "Are you also called Zun Guang?"

Shen Tang: "Yeah?"

Cui Mi pointed at Roubaozi: "His name is also Zun Guang."

Liu Jia used Wenqi to dry the water stains on her body.

After the chaos just now, the tear-jerking part of the family recognition session couldn't be staged at all. Lio Jia just wanted to know a definite answer. He asked the young man next to him: "Your name is Liao Qian, Liao Zunguang? Which elder in the family gave you this name?"

Rou Baozi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lio Jia asked a series of questions: "Is it your father or your mother? Or do you not remember it anymore? You should have an elder sister. Where is your elder sister? Is she with you?"

The real Liao Qian frowned: "Why do you ask these questions?"

Liao Jia spread out her palms, and two jade pendants appeared in front of Liao Qian's eyes. In Liao Qian's memory, there were only half pieces of this jade pendant, one piece belonged to him, and the other half belonged to Liao Jia. There must be some connection between the two: "Who are you?"

"From your mother's side, I am your uncle."

"From your father's side, he is also your uncle!"

"If you want, just call me uncle."

Liao Qian just took a step back, feeling ridiculous and said on guard: "You want to recognize your relatives with a jade pendant without proof or certificate? What uncle and uncle? The relationship in your family is really chaotic..."

He has no memory of the past.

I only vaguely remember that I had a hard time when I was a child. My sister held my hand, and the brother and sister hid here and there. They were so hungry that they could pick up anything to satisfy their hunger. Liao Jia's appearance and demeanor are no less than that of a man from a noble family. It really matters, why did their siblings suffer?

Liao Jia said: "..."

He was speechless at Liao Qian's evaluation.

He asked again: "Where is your sister?"

"at home."

"Your mother left your sister to me as an orphan back then without mentioning what happened to you. You have grown up and can barely protect yourself. I will not interfere with whatever path you want to take. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. "Your sister, I want to take you away."

Liao Qian picked his ears and thought he heard wrongly.

"You want to take my sister away? Just ask why?"

Liao Jia said: "Just rely on this letter from your mother."

A letter that has been with him for many years is also a lifelong regret for him. The son of an old friend that Liao Jia has always remembered is Liao Qian's sister, not Liao Qian: "Her lifelong regret is that it was difficult to realize her ambition, which delayed your father's life and cost her his life. What she missed must be made to her." Future generations will grasp it.”

Liao Qian said he didn't care, but in his heart he was eager to see what was written in the letter - there was no concept of mother in his memory, only the elder sister who was like a mother, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to get to know that strange woman. A few words.

When I opened the letter, I saw the scrawled handwriting.

It can be seen that the writer's wrist is weak and he writes in a hurry.

"Her life ambition?"

Liao Jia said: "She has a fighting spirit to become an official."

Liao Qian returned the letter to Liao Jia: "But everyone has their own ambitions. Let's not say whether what you said is true or false. Even if it is true, our mother is really her, which does not mean that my sister will take the path she wants to take. Right? It’s her business to have the ambition to become an official. My sister is not her substitute. What I am most comfortable with is a mallet, not a sword and a pen.”

When the current king came to power, he thought about the possibility of my sister practicing cultivation. He did not seek to be strong, but only wanted to strengthen his body and prolong his life. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth trying, but my sister said: "Your world is too complicated, I won't go there." Whether they are brave warriors or literary scholars, aren't they all human beings? Ordinary people are people too! We are all human beings, no matter how different they are. 】

[Then my sister can only stay with me for another thirty or forty years. 】

My sister hit him on the head with a mallet.

[I don’t have to be someone like you to be complete and complete in my entire life. I am tired enough after living my whole life. The greed of ordinary people can be easily satisfied, as long as they have enough to eat and drink, but for people like you, you will never be satisfied no matter how much you get, and you will feel exhausted just thinking about it. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up...]

In her eyes, literary scholars/valiant warriors are just ordinary people. There is nothing noble about them, so there is no need to pursue them deliberately.

I only slept four or five hours in 48 hours in two days, and I felt like I was about to ascend. During the funeral today, the sun was so strong and poisonous that I suffered from heat stroke... I felt nauseous and uncomfortable, and I felt like vomiting after watching everything at the banquet.

The last time I remember having a heat stroke was the last time.
