Lao Kong rubbed his waist and yawned.

Recently, few people have come to Castle Peak, and there is no business. Today, it is very depressed.

But fortunately, I have someone around me now, and it's OK to look at the store by myself.

"Lao Kong, are you ready in front?"

There was a woman's voice in the backyard. Lao Kong wiped the rag on the table and put it away

"Then come and serve the meal quickly."

"All right."

With a smile on his face, Lao Kong came to the front door and looked at the restaurant opposite the two. Now it's closed, and its owner's wife is cooking for herself in the backyard.

Thinking of this, Lao Kong's face showed a cheap smile.

He put up the banner cloth in front of the door, put up the closing sign, and was about to close the door. This was a sudden two shadows in his sight.

"My guest, I'm sorry. It's closed today. If you want to stay in the hotel, please go to another house."

Lao Kong was about to close the door when a gentle and familiar voice came from his ear. Lao Kong's body was stiff for a moment.

"Old Kong, I'm back."

Lao Kong raised his head and his eyes turned red.

In front of him, a handsome young man, holding a young girl, was looking at himself with a smile. It was Lu Beiyou and mu Qiuqiu.

Lao Kong's palm trembled and he wanted to speak, but he found that he didn't know where to start.

"Lao Kong, why don't you come here to serve the meal? It's cold!"

At this time, Xiao Yu came out from the back kitchen with a casserole. She complained softly. But when she saw the scene in front of the door, her brain was blank. The casserole in her hand fell off and was about to fall to the ground. The young man quickly came forward and took it down.

"Why, did I come back with Qiu Qiu and disturb you two?"

Hearing Lu Beiyou's teasing, Xiao Yu's face turned red instantly, but after all, she came out of the military camp of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. She immediately adjusted her expression and said in surprise, "how did you come back?"

"I'm going to Zhongzhou with the shopkeeper, so I'll see you two first."

But Lao Kong's eyes were staring at Mu Qiu all the time. He felt numb and kicked Lao Kong's leg. "What are you looking at? I haven't seen a woman before!"

On the contrary, Lao Kong laughed, wiped his eyes and muttered, "it's really windy today."

"You scholars are hypocritical. I'm starving and I'm not allowed to eat, or you won't want to work in my shop!"

Hearing this, Lao Kong said with a smile, "yes." then he went to the backyard and began to serve rice. Lu Beiyou also followed him.

It was a good meal.

At night, Lu Beiyou was lying on the roof, and the familiar feeling made his mood stabilize.

At this time, a creaking sound came from his ear. Lao Kong climbed up the ladder, panting, holding two small jars of wine in his hand.

"No, I'm old. I'm out of breath when I climb the stairs."

Lu Beiyou propped up and took over the wine jar in Lao Kong's hand. He said with a smile, "I know I'm old enough to show off. Xiao Yu is still a big yellow girl."

For this topic, Lao Kong said he didn't want to answer. Lu Beiyou opened a jar of wine and took a sip. It was yellow rice wine.

"I know how you are, so I left two more jars in the cellar."

Lu Beiyou nodded and continued to drink.

"Just now the girl went back to the room with the shopkeeper to whisper."

"Well, after all, it's all girls. They should talk."

Lao Kong nodded, sat on the roof at will, opened the wine jar and smacked it gently.

"Lao Kong, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

Lu Beiyou put his wine jar aside and looked up at the night sky. It's cloudy today, not to mention the moon. Even there are few stars.

"Why did you choose to stay here?"

"Because I'm poor, I happen to have a meal here."

Lu Beiyou chuckled, but seeing Lao Kong didn't seem to be joking, and he didn't say much.

"But in fact, I don't know why I stay here, because there are memories of my previous life here? Or is this where I was born and raised? "

"I don't know, but I know this is where I should be," he said

Lu Beiyou thought, "when you went to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, did you think about what you would do after that?"

What are you doing?

Lao Kong smiles and shakes his head. "North tour, old man, I have no future in my life. Except reading is the ink in my mind. It's not suitable for me to dance swords and swords. But scholars are born for the world. They tend to be one because there are things I want to protect. When I see huan'er, I know what I want to protect has changed. So I'm going to do the next thing I should do. ""Go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to protect Xiao Yu?"

Lao Kong shook his head. "I'm going to accompany her."

Lao Kong sighed, put his wine jar aside, and said in a soft voice, "in my last life, I owe her too much, and I have failed her too much. I will be content to accompany her in my life."

"Is that why you became a saint?"

Lao Kong nodded.

Lu Beiyou is silent.

Both of them are not talking. They sit quietly and drink in silence.

"Beiyou, I'm a useless person now. It doesn't matter to watch the restaurant for you and the shopkeeper in this small place, but you are different. I know that your burden must be very heavy. Even if I'm an old man, I can't bear it."

Lao Kong took the lead in breaking the peace of this side, "but that's what people are like. Everything can't be done according to one's heart. All we can do is to have a good conscience. That's enough. "

Lu Beiyou nodded and touched Lao Kong in the wine jar.

After a while, when the wine jar was empty, Lao Kong also fell asleep on the roof, and Lu Beiyou laughed and relaxed on the roof.

Close your eyes and listen to the wind beside your ears. The leaves fall and the insects chirp.

When it's all over, I should come back with the ball and live here again. Maybe it's good to live like this all the time.

Lu Beiyou opened his eyes, stood up, stretched, put the sleeping old hole on his back, stepped down the roof and walked towards the house.

"All right?"

Sun rises, Lu Beiyou stands in front of the door, looking at the grazing ball in front of him.

"Well, I'm relieved to see Lao Kong well."

Lu Beiyou nodded, took the hand of Muqiu and walked towards the direction of Qingshan city. "Maybe we should visit our old friends."

"Awake?"

Xiao Yu is sitting in front of the bed. The old hole on the bed reaches out his hand and caresses his forehead. He only feels a burst of backache.

"No, I'm old, I'm old."

"You're the only one who talks."

Hearing Xiao Yu's sweet voice, Lao Kong laughed. Then he looked out of the window and saw the sunshine in the room. He whispered, "let's go."

Xiao Yu nodded, and Lao Kong lay on the bed again, relieved, "huan'er, it's closed today. I won't receive any guests."

Xiao Yu didn't object, just cleverly replied, "OK."
