Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 475 Returning to the State of Lu
State of Lu, outside Qufu City.

In more than two months, Huan Chang not only healed his injury, but also rushed to the capital of Lu State without stopping.

"Ayun, I'm back, are you okay?"

Looking at the city that had been away for five years from a distance, Huan Chang had mixed feelings in his heart. The familiar yet unfamiliar city wall made Huan Chang suddenly feel like crying.

"The so-called timid feeling close to home may be this kind of feeling."

Huan Chang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and then strode towards the city.

The streets of Qufu are still bustling, and the faces of the people are full of smiles.

"This feeling is so kind, but also so strange!"

Huan Chang walked among the crowd, feeling the lively and noisy atmosphere, completely emptied his mind of distracting thoughts, and felt extremely relaxed all over his body.

"I want to redeem the handkerchief first."

Although Huan Chang enjoyed this relaxing feeling very much, when he thought of Xiao Yun, his heart immediately became extremely hot, and he found the right way and walked towards the street where the pawn shop was located.

In order to marry Xiao Yun, Huan Chang once served as the school lieutenant of Qufu City Gate under Xiao Qi's strong request, so he is naturally very familiar with the streets in Qufu City.

Although five years have passed, Huan Chang still quickly found the original pawnshop.

"Guest, you want to be something."

The pawnshop shopkeeper is still the same old man, but after five years, the pawnshop shopkeeper has a lot of gray hair on his temples, and his eyes are not as good as before.

The owner of the pawnshop looked Huanchang up and down, and found that the man looked a bit decadent with an unshaven beard, and his clothes were a little tattered, but the fabric of the clothes was the first-class goods produced in Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Huan Chang also carried a sword on his back, and the shopkeeper's cloudy eyes immediately became brighter.

The tattered clothes and unshaven beard indicate that this person's current situation is not very good, and the fabric of the clothes is the best goods in the Song Dynasty, which indicates that this person used to have a good family background.

There is a sword on his back, which shows that this person may be a down-and-out Jianghu.

When people like Huan Chang came to the pawn shop, they would basically take out very good and valuable things. If they operated a little bit, the shop could make a lot of money.

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop has keen eyes, and quickly saw the business opportunities from the bits and pieces, and immediately asked Huan Chang with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, I didn't come here to pawn something, but to redeem something."

Huan Chang shook his head when he heard the words, walked up to the pawn shop manager, and lifted up the long hair that covered his face, revealing his unshaven and sharp-edged face.

"Do you still remember the shopkeeper?"

Huan Chang spoke again, with a smile on his face.

Although the shopkeeper of the pawnshop didn't have a close relationship with Huan Chang, he was the first acquaintance he met when he returned to the country of Lu, so he naturally felt in a good mood.

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop stared at Huan Chang for a long time, after all, he still didn’t recognize the identity of the other party, and immediately said with some embarrassment: “The guest is really sorry, the old man is too old and his memory is getting worse and worse, I really don’t remember who the guest is. "

Huanchang has changed so much that he is not at all comparable to the gentle and elegant man who even had a strong scholarly atmosphere five years ago.

Moreover, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop didn't believe that Huan Chang, who held an important position in Qufu at the beginning, and even made great contributions in the war against the Juye Gang, would become so downcast.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the shopkeeper failed to recognize Huan Chang.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Huan Chang couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, and said, "I deposited a handkerchief here five years ago, do you remember the shopkeeper?"

"Five years ago, handkerchief."

The shopkeeper heard Huan Chang's voice, but his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look at Huan Chang.

After a long time, the shopkeeper vaguely saw the shadow of the gentle and scholarly man from Huan Chang's sharp-edged face, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"My lord, how did you become like this?"

Five years ago, Huan Chang had a good status, and he left a handkerchief in the pawnshop very strangely. The shopkeeper naturally had a deep memory of this incident, and even after five years, he still couldn't forget it.

Therefore, after being reminded by Huan Chang, the shopkeeper remembered that matter so quickly.

It's just that the man dressed in rags and bearded today is far from the magnificent young knight-errant five years ago.

The old shopkeeper knew that Huan Chang was a famous master in Qufu five years ago, even if he didn't make any progress in martial arts in five years, he would definitely not fall into such a state.

Therefore, after the shopkeeper recognized Huan Chang's identity, he had such a violent reaction.

"It's hard to say."

Huan Chang looked at the horrified expression on the shopkeeper's face, smiled wryly and shook his head, but he was not prepared to tell the other party.

"Is that handkerchief still there?"

Huan Chang changed the subject, looked at the shopkeeper expectantly, his voice trembling.

That small handkerchief recorded the purest love between Huan Chang and Xiao Yun, and it was also a token of love between the two, entrusting Xiao Yun's love and affection for Huan Chang.

The importance of this handkerchief to Huan Chang who recovered his memory is self-evident.

He was very scared. The handkerchief five years ago was no longer there, so he was a little worried and lost his composure.

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Seeing that Huan Chang changed the subject, the shopkeeper knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly nodded in response, and then called Huan Chang to sit in the hall, but he ran to the back to look for a handkerchief.

For pawnshops, only valuables are worth reselling. If a customer pawns valuables, they will try their best to make it impossible for the customer to redeem them, and then resell them to make money.

But that handkerchief, in the view of the shopkeeper, has no value, even if it is resold, no one will buy it.

The most important thing is that Huan Chang clearly pointed out at the time that the handkerchief could not be sold, but could only be kept in the pawnshop, and he would redeem it one day.

In order to ensure the safety of the handkerchief, Huan Chang also paid a huge deposit, which was used as the hard work of the shopkeeper for keeping the handkerchief.

Coupled with Huan Chang's high martial arts skills, and his ability in the capital of the Lu State, the pawnshop shopkeeper naturally did not dare to lose the handkerchief, and kept it sealed up for so many years.

"Huan Shaoxia, here is the handkerchief!"

Not long after, the shopkeeper took out a beautiful sandalwood box, opened the box, and there lay the pure white handkerchief quietly.

Seeing the situation, Huan couldn't help but feel agitated. He carefully took out the handkerchief, pressed it tightly to his face, and sniffed it.

"It's been five years, and the handkerchief has lost the fragrance of Ah Yun's body, and instead is wrapped in the fragrance of sandalwood."

Huan Chang smiled wryly, paid the money and left with a handkerchief.

"Ayun, I'm back, are you okay?"

Huan Chang gripped the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and was about to go to look for Xiao Yun, but just after taking a few steps, he stopped when he saw his tattered clothes.

"I can't just go see Ah Yun like this."

Huan Chang thought for a while, then immediately walked towards the tailor shop.

　A new volume has begun, and Ah Chang’s Jianghu Road has really begun. Due to the water and power outages today, I finished writing with a notebook, so I will upload the two chapters together after the call
