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

Chapter 3
In a flash, half a month has passed.

Early in the morning, Luo Xiao stretched and got up.Gently pushing open the wooden pane, he saw that in the secluded courtyard, the man lit a piece of local tobacco, as if he had just finished breakfast, and was idly leaning against the wicker chair.The cigarettes are rolled in paper and wrapped with very fragrant leaves.He even asked Luo Xiao to smell it with his own hand last night.

Luo Xiao watched quietly for a while.

It turns out that the figure of some men is more moving than the morning scenery.

Luo Xiao opened the box and started looking for clothes to wear.Although it has been more than ten days since she came to this small town, she is still used to packing the whole suitcase anytime and anywhere.

Without exception, I saw the red banknotes stuffed in the boxes, there were nearly a hundred thousand.Looking at them, Luo Xiao suddenly felt a little irritated, and closed the box with a "snap".

When she went downstairs, Han Tuo had been waiting for a long time.Hearing the movement, he looked up and saw her wearing a gray T-shirt, black trousers, and sneakers.

Obviously fresh and refined, it is the one that will make any man's eyes shine.But always dressed disheveled.Han Tuo could almost imagine how sweet and bright she would be when she painted Korean-style elegant light makeup.

However, it's fine now.Although it is not very eye-catching, but if you look closely, it is plain and refreshing.

He has good looks and willfulness.

Thinking of this, Han Tuo smiled.

Luo Xiao saw it and asked, "What are you laughing at?" The two were already very familiar, so her tone was naturally very casual.

"I didn't think about it." He stood up, "I was just thinking about it myself."

Today's arrangement is to accompany Luo Xiao to see a house.Since she intends to settle down in a small town, staying in an inn all the time is definitely not an option.Han Tuo is a local expert and has a wide range of people. With him, the color of the sky seems to be a little brighter.

After leaving the inn, Han Tuo took Luo Xiao up a section of slope, and in the distance, he could see two rows of closely spaced houses.The house he fancy is among them.

At first glance, it doesn't look very eye-catching, with two front doors and low wooden houses.At first glance, it was quite deep inside.But after a closer look, Luo Xiao fell in love with it.The color of the wooden house is very positive, and it looks like it was built with old wood.There is a purple and elegant bougainvillea growing at the door. It is not very dense now, but you can already imagine how it climbs the whole house.Passing through the facade, there is an open-air courtyard behind, which is fully paved with stone slabs, and potted plants are placed in the corners.Further inside is an old house.Walking in, you can smell the wood.

Only those who are thinking in their hearts will understand the beauty of it.

The owner of the house is an old man with gray hair. Luo Xiao went in with him to look at the house, while Han Tuo waited outside.When Luo Xiao came out, he saw him resting his hands on a few pieces of granite at the door, looking deeply at her.

"Like it?" he asked.

There was light in Luo Xiao's eyes, and he nodded: "I like it, I like it very much."

Han Tuo smiled slightly, as if he had already made up his mind.

And Luo Xiao looked down at the gravel beside the two of them, but also thought: I really like the one he chose.

"If you rent this house, what are your plans?" Han Tuo asked.

Luo Xiao replied: "I live by myself, and I can also open a coffee shop, bakery or something. It must feel good."

However, Han Tuo said: "Now the economy is in a downturn, and many people lose money. Of course, there are also those who make money, such as me. If you create a coffee shop with personality and reputation, you may have a good business. And..." He looked up Looking down the hillside, you can even see the roof of "Gradually Forgotten" from here. He said: "It's not far from my shop, and I can introduce customers."

"Aren't you afraid that the coffee I make won't taste good, which will affect your reputation?"

He replied, "Not afraid." Then he added, "You won't."

For some reason, both of them were silent for a while without speaking.Only the light rain in the sky is still floating on the top of the head.

"What are you doing standing there?" Han Tuo gently pushed behind her, "Go and negotiate the price."

"Oh... good." Luo Xiao took a step forward.

The owner of the house, surnamed Sun, was a skinny old man who was also plainly dressed and looked at them with a smile all the time.His previous offer for this house was 4 a year.Because the location of the house is relatively remote, the price is neither expensive nor cheap.

Luo Xiao: "Grandpa, hello, can this house be cheaper?"

Han Tuo laughed when he heard that, he also knew Lao Sun, and usually called him "Uncle Sun" or "Uncle Sun".This Luo Xiao was called Grandpa when he came up, and he was a generation shorter than him.

This girl still has a child in her heart.

Lao Sun smiled very kindly and said: "Girl, my price is already very cheap. Look at the houses in the ancient city, which cost 10,000+ a year. It really can't be less, it can't be less."

Han Tuo thought that Luo Xiao would definitely bargain, after all, when she first came to his store, she was very powerful.Unexpectedly, Luo Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said to Uncle Zhao: "Okay then..."

Whoops I'm going.

Han Tuo quickly stretched out his hand to stop her, and then looked at Lao Sun with a half-smile: "I said uncle, this is my friend, can't the price be any cheaper?"

The old grandson glanced at him and groaned, "It's only because of your friends that it's so cheap. Hey, it's not easy for my old man to rent out a house..."

Han Tuo sneered in his heart, and was about to speak again, but unexpectedly the other hand stretched out in front of him and stopped him.

"It's okay." It was her light and calm voice.

Han Tuo was taken aback.

She had already looked up at Old Sun with a very gentle expression: "Uncle, let's pay the price you said. This is a deposit, please give me a receipt."

Well, it's pretty quick to change your mind.Immediately followed him called uncle.

Lao Sun happily went in to write a note, and they were left standing outside the porch.

Han Tuo patted her on the top of the head lightly: "You have changed your sex, you agreed so easily, I don't know how to negotiate the price."

Luo Xiao raised his head, and from this angle, he happened to see the stooped figure of the old sun.She replied: "It's okay, he is an old man, let's stop haggling with him."

Han Tuo sized her up a few times: "So soft-hearted?"

Luo Xiao: "It's not that I'm soft-hearted... I just can't bear it."

"Then why haven't you seen your soft-heartedness towards me?" Han Tuo said lightly, "This old grandson, don't look at his shabby appearance, he is a well-known old fox, he has a lot of houses under his name, and he only charges a few dollars a year for rent." One hundred thousand. Just pretending to be pitiful in front of you outsiders. I originally planned to fight him for [-] rounds, but he would give us five thousand eight thousand less for this house."

Hearing what he said, Luo Xiao was also taken aback: "Is that so..."

"Are you going to regret it?" he asked.

Luo Xiao thought for a while, but shook his head: "I don't regret it anymore." He looked up at the house again: "It's his business that he is dishonest. The decision to rent a house is made by myself. The most important thing is, I think this house is worth it. At this price, it’s fine. I don’t feel depressed or complain about it. I’m still very happy——I finally have a place to stay.”

The last sentence, in the end, still exposed a little fragility.After finishing speaking, Luo Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll go in and see if he has finished writing."

But Han Tuo said: "Let me go. One of you is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What else can I say? But... Hehe, at least let him pay for your utilities!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Luo Xiao He opened his mouth, and strode in.Luo Xiao looked at his tough back, and at the evasive expression of Old Sun, and suddenly smiled.

Finally, all the procedures were completed, and the two parties agreed to hand over the house in a few days.It was already afternoon, and the two of them walked down the hillside. Han Tuo asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

"I still want to eat yesterday's fried noodles."

"Okay, I'll make it for you later."

Only halfway up the hillside, unexpectedly, the long-planned dark clouds in the sky finally rained down.It was still raining heavily, and soon both of their clothes were soaked.Han Tuo didn't care about it himself, but he didn't want Luo Xiaolin to be ruined.So he took her hand and hid under the eaves of a shop on the side of the road.The shop didn't open, so the two stood quietly against the wooden boards.

Soon, the rain smashed the whole road into chaos.On the muddy road, there is rising water vapor.In the beginning, there were a lot of people running.Later, no one even ran.

The temperature dropped quickly, Luo Xiao sneezed while wearing wet clothes.The clothes on Han Tuo were also wet. He glanced at her and said nothing.

"Thank you today." Luo Xiao said.That soft voice, accompanied by the sound of rain, fell in Han Tuo's ears, very gentle.

"Hmm." He responded lightly.

Luo Xiao felt that this man was really special.Sometimes, when you need him, he is so careful and gentle that you are confused.But sometimes, he is indifferent and alienated.

So Luo Xiao smiled and said, "Remember, since we met, I've always been thanking you, thanking you non-stop."

Both of them were silent for a while, he turned his head and looked at her.There was rain, slowly streaming down his cheeks.A tough and vivid man with eyes as deep as pools.

"What are you running?" he asked.

A sudden question.He never asked, but today he did.Yet she understood immediately.

Luo Xiao subconsciously wanted to lower her head and avoid his gaze.But at this moment, I felt reluctant again.

"I..." she replied, "I'm looking for a place where I can die alone. Let me gradually forget about this world."

Han Tuo raised his hand to wipe off the rain from his hair, and then held her arm.The tall body approached instantly.Luo Xiao was dumbfounded, and looked up blankly.He looked at her too, bowed his head and kissed her.

It was Luo Xiao's first time kissing someone, and her whole body was stiff.I just feel the man's strange and moist breath, with some kind of thrilling temptation.But at first he tasted it lightly, seeing that she didn't respond at all, he simply pinched the back of her head and poked his tongue in.After a long kiss, his face moved away.But he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and said, "Why can't I hear what you were talking about just now?"
