Where do the guests of the evening mountain see and forget come from

Chapter 2
Luo Xiao heard the sound of peddlers, she opened the window, and saw a middle-aged woman walking slowly with a load in the alley at the back door of the inn.

On the burden, green melons, yellow vegetables, and red fruits seem to still smell of rain, very fresh and fresh.

Luo Xiao suddenly wanted to eat very much, so he ran downstairs with the money.The back door of the inn was tied with wood, Luo Xiao opened it easily, just in time to see the woman parked her load outside the door.

The woman is about 37 or [-] years old. At first glance, she looks beautiful, but she is wearing very simple clothes, her skin is not good, and she looks tired, so she doesn't look beautiful.

The woman was startled when she saw Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao smiled: "Are these...for sale?"

The woman hurriedly said, "Sell, sell."

Luo Xiao leaned against the door and picked them up.She didn't need vegetables, and she didn't like peaches, so she finally picked out a few cucumbers that looked particularly crisp and tender, and put them aside.

There was someone's leisurely but steady footsteps behind him, and then a deep voice: "Sister Zhao, are you here?" A vaguely warm masculine breath passed behind Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao froze slightly.

Han Tuo was already standing by the door on the other side, folded his arms, and glanced at her: "Are you here to buy something?"

Luo Xiao: "Yes."

He said lightly: "Choose, it's mine."

Luo Xiao immediately said: "No, there's no need." She took money out of her pocket, but at this moment Han Tuo had already bent over to pick things up on the burden.Sister Zhao seemed to know him very well, with a little smile on her face: "Don't choose, the dishes sent to your inn are all the best in my house."

Han Tuo also smiled and asked, "How much?"

Only then did Luo Xiao realize that it turned out that Sister Zhao had brought food to the inn.

"55." Sister Zhao replied.

Han Tuo glanced at Luo Xiao, then picked up the largest and greenest cucumber from the burden, took a bite, and asked, "What did you pick?"

Luo Xiao looked at the cucumber in his hand: "...you ate it."

Han Tuo was startled, glanced at the melon in his hand, and suddenly smiled.

He looked indifferent and deep early in the morning. With this smile, his black eyebrows were curved, and there was a faint luster under the bridge of his nose. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, shining brightly, which made Luo Xiao's heart skip a beat.

She turned her face away, avoiding his gaze.

However, Han Tuo had already taken several large bags of vegetables from Sister Zhao, and then patted Luo Xiao's back: "Go in." Throw them into Luo Xiao's arms.

"Thank you, thank you." Luo Xiao said hurriedly.

"You're welcome." Han Tuo went straight to the kitchen and said without looking back, "Even if you only paid for the non-sea view room, I still have something to earn. The wool comes from the sheep."

Luo Xiao looked at his back, and after a while, smiled.

-

Luo Xiao didn't have breakfast at the inn, she felt full after eating a cucumber, and she didn't have much appetite.It's just that when she passed the front desk when she went out and told Xiaomei that she didn't have breakfast, Xiaomei's expression was a little weird.

The area of ​​this ancient city is actually very small, only a few streets in total.It is said to be the birthplace of the Ancient Tea Horse Road.It's just that the tourism industry is not doing well recently, Luo Xiao wandered around the street for a while, and half of the shops were closed.

But the ancient city is still the ancient city.After hundreds of years, vicissitudes and silence.When Luo Xiao boarded the small tower alone, looking down at the entire old city, as well as the surrounding green mountains and rivers in the distance, the urge to settle here really sprouted.

But by coincidence, Han Tuo's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.A handsome and unruly face, a cold and tough figure.

Luo Xiao shook his head, dispelling these inexplicable images in his mind.

After going down the city tower, after walking for a while, we have to pass through another city gate, which is the way back to the inn.Seeing the clouds piled up in the sky, it seemed that it was going to rain again.

She walked a few steps quickly, but suddenly saw a man wearing a white vest and camouflage trousers at the gate of the city, sitting there, playing chess with an old man.Isn't it Han Tuo?

Luo Xiao walked past him silently.

"Why can I see you everywhere?" Han Tuo said calmly without raising his head.Authentic BJ accent, with a little bit of poor energy, so Luo Xiao knew where he came from from then on.

But Luo Xiao thought - shouldn't she say this?How can I meet this man everywhere?

Han Tuo dropped a piece in his hand and looked up at her.Luo Xiao noticed that his fingers were very slender with rough joints.

"The ancient city is so big, if you guard the city gate, who can escape your eyes." Luo Xiao replied.

Han Tuo didn't expect her to reply to him so softly and forcefully, instead of being angry, he smiled, "Oh."

Luo Xiao didn't expect that he would just say "oh".For some reason, she was standing and he was sitting on the ground, facing each other like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable.So he bowed his head and left.

After walking a few steps, I heard his voice from behind: "It won't rain anymore, it's about to rain."

Then there was the sound of getting up.

The road in the small town is very narrow, and there are people leading horses in front of them, and there are also other tourists stopping by.Luo Xiaoan walked quietly, listening to the unhurried footsteps behind her.

Just like this, with a distance of three to five meters, one in front and one behind, they walked in the same direction.

Suddenly, Luo Xiao's footsteps stopped.

In the middle of the road ahead, there is a big black dog.Almost half a person tall, tongue out, panting, looking at her.

There are many people who keep dogs in the small town, but who knows whose dog was not tied up and ran into the middle of the road.

There are tourists who make a detour and locals who walk past the dogs without hesitation.Luo Xiao's fists were clenched quietly, and he was stuck on the spot, only feeling that his legs were weak, and he couldn't move even half of it.

"Afraid of dogs?" A faint voice sounded from behind.

Luo Xiao: "A little bit."

He smiled again, glanced at her, then looked at the dog lazily, and said, "Let's go."

Luo Xiao was completely conditioned reflex - when she met a vicious dog on the road before, she would always snuggle up to her classmate like this - she leaned close to his side, almost keeping the same pace, walking forward with him .

Sensing her nervousness, Han Tuo slowed down his pace slightly so that she could keep up.Raindrops fell from the sky and fell on the arms of the two.The arms seem to be attached to each other.Only then did Han Tuo realize that her skin was extremely cold, and her arms were even softer.In stark contrast to his hot and rough skin.

Han Tuo raised his head and looked ahead.

Finally "walking past" the dog, Luo Xiao bounced away from him almost immediately, leaving a distance of at least one meter.

"Thank you." She said, blushing slightly.

Han Tuo smiled again and said, "What is there to thank? After all, you are only a little afraid of dogs."

Luo Xiao: "..."

Arriving at the inn in a blink of an eye, the two entered the door, one went upstairs, the other entered the front desk, and they parted again.

-

The clock has gradually pointed to 12 o'clock.

Luo Xiao sat in the room and stayed alone for a long time, looking at the luggage that was barely opened last night.Then he stood up, walked to the window, and opened it a little.

The yard was very quiet, and two other guests came in.But now there was no one there, and Xiaomei could be vaguely seen sitting behind the front desk.And Han Tuo sat on the opposite porch with his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.

The rain is still ding ding dong dong, although it is not heavy.But there are still clouds piled up in the sky, and heavy rain is coming.

In life, there are some dangers that cannot be perceived.

A little dangerous, but born with a breath of fate.When he appears, any woman can feel it.

Heavy rain is coming.

Luo Xiao looked at the courtyard again, and she decided to leave.

She went downstairs very lightly, and she walked to the front desk with the only bag on her back.When Xiaomei heard that she wanted to check out, she was a little hesitant, and even took a peek at the boss not far behind her.

Han Tuo's side was always quiet, as if he was in a deep sleep.

"Can't you stop?" Xiaomei said, "You see it's going to rain soon, why don't you leave later? You can leave your luggage at the front desk, it doesn't matter."

Luo Xiao smiled: "Thank you, no need."

"Oh."

After paying the bill, Luo Xiao turned and left.She opened her only black umbrella, and the rain fell on the umbrella and at her feet.The moment she stepped out of the inn door, she turned her head.

Under the porch, he put his hands behind his head and looked at her quietly.

His eyes are as deep as water.

Luo Xiao finally gave him a gentle smile, turned and left.

-

However, the development of the world is always beyond people's expectations.

Perhaps, this is really something called "fate".

Luo Xiao did not expect that it would rain so heavily.

It was so big that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the street was so big that it was indistinct. Except for her, there was no one else.It was so dark that the day was like dusk.

She held an umbrella, but it was useless.The backpack was completely wet, and most of the body was wet.She wiped off the water on her face and continued walking, trying to find the next inn where she could stay temporarily.

But now she discovered that there are not so many inns in this small town.Many are closed and some are being renovated.Some knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to answer, maybe the rain was too loud.

And she found two more inns, not to mention sea view rooms, common rooms cost 200, quite suspected of taking advantage of the fire.There are also cheap ones, 120 rooms, but the sanitary conditions are really bad.Luo Xiao has been obsessed with cleanliness since she was a child, even if she is wandering outside now, looking at the room with the gray bed, she really can't live in it.What's more, the very attentive smile of the male innkeeper made her retreat instead.

I don't know how long I've been hanging out, but before I know it, I'm back at the door of "Gradually Forgotten".

With such a heavy rain, even the door of Jianwang was closed tightly.The sky and the earth were already dim, and the rain drenched Luo Xiao's whole body.Holding an umbrella, she stood outside Jianwang's door, suddenly feeling lonely and sad.

It turned out that she was always on the road alone, and she had nowhere to go.

With a chill, the rain invaded her whole body.She stands with an umbrella, standing in the rain, but it seems to be standing in a lonely and helpless ravine.

With a "squeak", someone opened the door.

Luo Xiao raised his head, the rain and fog in front of his eyes were hazy.

Han Tuo still looked the same, leaning against the door, looking at her quietly with his arms crossed.

Luo Xiao looked at him, but didn't speak.

He suddenly smiled very gently, and said: "Old customers of this shop, there is a discount on rainy days. For the same price, you can also live in a sea view room—anyway, it is raining so hard, and the room is vacant."

Luo Xiao stood, looking at him through the rain, without moving.

"Do you always take in homeless people like this?" she asked slowly.

He remained silent for a few seconds, then replied lightly, "No, this is the first time."

The rain fell on the two of them in a sputtering manner.

Luo Xiao lowered his head and wiped off the water on his face again.He had already turned around and walked into the courtyard, the door was open behind him.

"I'll cook you a good meal tonight to drive away the cold. Come in... Luo Xiao."

At this moment, Luo Xiao seemed to be possessed by a demon, knowing that he shouldn't, but still walked towards the door of "Gradually Forgotten", put away his umbrella, stepped into the door, and followed behind him.

-

Same room, same price.Luo Xiao gave the rent for 10 days at once, and Xiaomei even gave her a 9% discount.Seeing her go back and forth, Xiaomei didn't seem surprised at all, and didn't say much.So Luo Xiao thought, she must have received Han Tuo's advice in advance, not to embarrass herself.

For some reason, Luo Xiao felt that way.

He is such a gentle and kind person.

Finally, in the evening, the rain stopped.The sky seemed a little brighter than before, but still neither the sun nor the moon could be seen.The lights in the yard came on, and the leaves were green after the rain. Looking up, it made people feel warm and peaceful.

Luo Xiao was sitting in the room on the second floor reading a book, but he also smelled the pungent smell from the kitchen.There is also Xiaomei's bluffing voice: "My God, boss! What are you talking about today! It's so choking!"

Even Luo Xiao was choked to cough twice.I read the book for half an hour, but didn't turn a few pages.

When it got dark, she heard Han Tuo's voice from the window: "Xiaomei, ask her to come down for dinner."

Luo Xiao didn't wait for anyone to call, and walked down by himself.There was actually a table of dishes in the yard, and Luo Xiao was startled when he saw the dishes: boiled pork slices, spicy hot pot, fried pork with chili... all red, but there was a plate of green vegetables and an egg, without chili.

No wonder it was so choking just now.

At this time, Han Tuo had already come out with three bowls of rice, followed by a bouncing Xiaomei.

"I'll go! Boss, are you going to kill people today? Stir fry so spicy?" Xiaomei stuck out her tongue.

It was cool at night, so Han Tuo added a thin coat with the zipper up, giving him a cool and upright look.He glanced at Xiaomei: "What nonsense? Like to eat or not."

Xiaomei whimpered and sat down obediently.

He looked at Luo Xiao again: "Are you coming down to eat too? It costs 10 yuan a person."

Luo Xiao smiled and replied, "Well, good."

Xiaomei rolled her eyes.

The three were seated.

However, the atmosphere was more lively and happy than Luo Xiao imagined.Xiaomei took out two bottles of local yogurt from the refrigerator and drank and ate them with Luo Xiao.He also talked about the interesting stories of the ancient city to himself, with witty remarks, which made Luo Xiao laugh frequently.And Han Tuo dragged half a case of beer, and drank slowly by himself.When it comes to happiness, he either scorns Xiaomei or hurts Luo Xiao. His sloppiness is a little alienated, and he has a somewhat uninhibited appearance, which is the most handsome scenery in the night.

Luo Xiao didn't dare to look at him too much.

She picked up the chopsticks, and picked up another chopsticks of eggs and vegetables.

As soon as I put it in the bowl, I suddenly felt two clear eyes looking at me.

She raised her eyes and met Han Tuo's gaze, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

In an instant, Luo Xiao didn't know why, as if enlightened, he suddenly understood.

Tonight I will cook a table of good dishes for you to drive away the cold.

Boiled meat, chili fried meat, spicy hot pot...

Boss, why are you cooking so hot today?

……

On her ID card, her native place is Hunan, Xiangxi.

It is said that everyone loves spicy food, and there is no place where there is no spicy food.

……

Luo Xiao held the chopsticks tightly, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.

The eyes of the two were still touching, and the smile on her lips remained unchanged.

However, he did not know.

The ID card... is fake.

Luo Xiao was silent for a moment, smiled at him, and then put a chopstick of boiled pork slices into the bowl.

After a while, I added spicy hot pot, chili fried pork...

He drank the wine, but kept looking at her with nothing.

Luo Xiao's tears were hot, and her face flushed quickly. She tore a piece of paper, wiped away her tears, took up the yogurt, and drank it all in one gulp.He raised his head and saw Han Tuo and Xiaomei staring at him.

She forced a smile: "It's delicious. It's just that I've been away from my hometown for too long, and I'm not used to eating spicy food. But I like it very much."

She wanted to pick up another chili with chopsticks, but Han Tuo said in a deep voice, "Xiaomei, give her another bowl of rice."

Luo Xiao was taken aback.Xiaomei quickly brought over a bowl of clean rice, and exchanged the rice in her bowl that was soaked red with chili peppers, and persuaded her: "You can't eat spicy food, so tell me earlier? Afraid of embarrassing our boss? It's okay, he doesn't want it." face..."

"You're the one who talks too much!" Han Tuo stared at her, "Go, get another bottle of yogurt."

Xiaomei left, and there were only the two of them left in the courtyard.Han Tuo suddenly said in a low voice, "What's your strength?"

He had only known each other for two days, but he seemed to be able to understand the person in her heart.

Luo Xiao held back tears, looked up at him, and smiled: "No, I really, really like eating."

Han Tuo stopped talking.After a while, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp, looked at the clouds in the sky, and smiled.

In the dead of night, Luo Xiao and Xiaomei both went back to their rooms to sleep.Han Tuo was still in the courtyard, slowly drinking wine.When he raised his head, he could see a soft light always on in front of Luo Xiao's window.

In fact, he found out last night.The light in her room stays on all night.

Are you afraid of the dark?
Also afraid of dogs.

Afraid of spicy.

Afraid of having any entanglements with the man he met by chance.But walked back.

Alone, concealing his hometown, trying to cover it up.

It turned out that he really took in a homeless girl.

Where are the guests coming from.

Where are you going again?
