Chapter Thirty-Five: Bringing the Sword Down the Mountain(2/2)
"What is this?" Shopkeeper Liu turned sideways to avoid Shi Yu's salute, feeling a bad premonition arise in his heart.
The waiter saw this scene. He waved from a distance and asked, "When will you come again, sir?"
Shi Yu sighed, forced a smile, and said, "If nothing else, it will take a long time."
Or not coming back.
The shopkeeper let out a long sigh. He knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
When the waiter heard this, he was stunned and a little at a loss.
Shi Yu was almost out of the wine shop.
The shopkeeper reminded: "Xiao Wang, go and see Mr. Shi off."
The waiter was startled and said "Okay", then hurriedly got out from behind the counter and followed the gentleman out of the shop.
On the street, two figures, one tall and one low, walked one behind the other.
Shi Yu walked in front, and the waiter followed behind without saying a word, with a heavy heart.
He had a very good impression of this gentleman. He would not yell at him like other people, but would also talk to him, a young handyman, and would not mind him sitting next to him when he was drinking.
"Go back, we'll see you soon." Shi Yu stopped and looked back at the boy who was younger than himself.
The waiter stopped, glanced at Shi Yu, and asked a question that Shi Yu didn't expect.
"Sir, you are not an ordinary person, are you?" The waiter looked at Shi Yu sincerely.
"How do you say it?" Shi Yu looked at this seemingly dull boy with a smile on his face.
The young man suddenly smiled and did not answer the sir. Instead, he turned around and ran away. After running a certain distance, he looked back at Shi Yu and shouted: "Sir, my real name is Xiaoer, Wang Xiaoer. Sir, you must remember it!"
Shi Yu looked at the young man who ran away after shouting something, shook his head with a smile, then turned around and walked in the direction of Taoyuan Pavilion.
The pavilion chief's house is right next to Taoyuan Pavilion. It is very large, with long blue brick walls and green tiles.
The gate is in the center, and it takes a while to walk just this distance.
The doorway is also made of blue bricks, with glazed tiles on top. It is a vermilion door with two lion heads protruding from the door, holding copper rings in their mouths.
On the left and right sides stand stone lions as tall as one person. In this remote town, they are a big gesture and very impressive.
Shi Yu raised his hand and gently knocked the door knocker.
Soon, the door creaked open, and a young handyman with a bun high on his head poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Shi Yu smiled and said, "Come to see Chief Wang Ting."
The handyman looked Shi Yu up and down, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked, "But Mr. Shi?"
