Chapter 28: No Speculation

The east was white, and the heavy snow had accumulated a thick layer on the streets overnight. The people in the streets and alleys were holding brooms to clean up the snow in front of the door.

In the uninhabited courtyard, Ning Qingye walked out of the room wearing a snow-white fur coat, looking at the heavy snow-fed goose feather mixed in the north wind, and gently exhaled the snow-white fog. When he came to Beijing to seek revenge, he seemed to have no chance. Zhang Xiang from the Investigation Department deserves the name of a master, and she doesn't even have a chance to get close to her. However, being able to bring back her mother's sword is also a kind of harvest...

Ning Qingye looked down at the sword under the fox fur. The cold wind came in. His body was injured and had not recovered yet. He quickly closed the fox fur. When he touched the furry fur, he thought of the stupid young man again. He looked very handsome, but his brain was not very good, so he was tied up. He went on to rescue the kidnappers... Perhaps this is the difference between a gentleman and a man from the martial arts world...

People in the martial arts world value friendship and pay attention to the grace of a drop of water.

After taking the sword back, I should have gone back to Changqing Temple to continue to accompany my master, but I owe the other party a favor, so I have to find a way to pay it back...

Thinking of this, Ning Qingye turned his head and looked at the gate of the yard. She thought Xu Buling would come again, after all, the saying "Everyone loves beauty" was a bit purposeful. Logically, she would come over to show her kindness, and she was thinking about whether to hide in another place. As a result, after waiting for a day and a night, the other person had no intention of coming again. It seemed that the sentence was just a joke, which made her a little weird, well... It was hard to raise women and villains. If they were close, they were not inferior, and if they were far away, they were resentful...

For some reason, Ning Qingye smiled mockingly, took out the cloak from the house to replace the fox fur, took out the yard with a straw hat, and went to the Sun's shop in Dayefang.

If you owe someone, you have to pay it back no matter what.

She knew that Xu Buling was hit by the Dragon Lock Gu and needed to drink alcohol to suppress the cold poison. She would make a pot of broken jade and burn every day, and she should be able to meet him again in the Sun's shop.

After passing through the streets and alleys, we arrived at the wine shop in Qingshi Alley, it was already dawn, and there were fewer customers in the Sun's shop, and only a few wealthy servants lined up at the door to get wine for the owner.

Ning Qingye entered the wine shop with a cloak, sat down by the empty table, turned his head and looked at it for a few times:

"Shopkeeper Sun, you are the only one today?"

"Yes, my apprentice ran away."

Manager Sun came over with side dishes and a warm wine pot, still smiling warmly, and put the wine and food on the table:

"Miss is here early today, and if it's late, the old man won't be busy."

Ning Qingye nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks and stuttered in a small stutter. After waiting for a while, he suddenly heard the conversation of the drinker:

"Three Crafts are really not a thing, ungrateful..."

"Old Sun gave him some food, and stole Lao Sun's savings for half his life, two hundred taels..."

"Where are good people from gambling sticks? I knew that Sancai's grandson would bite him back..."

"Forget it, everything is over, what's the point of saying this..."

Ning Qingye blinked his eyes and naturally heard the reason for the incident. He turned his head and looked at it. Manager Sun was able to see it openly. The merchant lost money, which was no less than the official who lost his official position, the military man became a useless man, and the literati lost his reputation. This attitude of being able to take on and let go is quite admirable.

Ning Qingye sat at the wine table. When it was noon, Xu Buling never came. Guests often came in the wine shop and saw that there was no seat and left. Although no one urged her to take the seat, she felt a little embarrassed. She took out a silver note from her waist and put it on the table and pressed it with a wine bowl. She took the long sword on the table and left the wine shop.

As a gangster, only those who are helping others can be called "heroes".

However, Ning Qingye had just walked not far away when a call came from the tavern behind him: "Girl, wait..." He turned around and saw Manager Sun jogging over with a towel on his shoulder with a silver note, and his eyes were a little annoyed:

"You girl, old man, I have been running a wine shop all my life. I'm polite and can give you more money when you drink wine. Is it comfortable to hold it? Do you want to put down the wine shop after you give so much at a time?"

Ning Qingye stopped and stood gracefully in the wind and snow, and brewed a little: "I just heard that the guy in the shop stole the old man's savings... My father used to travel in the capital and liked to come to your shop. When he was poor, he stayed with you for half a month. I will help him with this favor."

Manager Sun frowned when he heard this, turned his head and thought for a moment: "I lived there for half a month... Depending on your age, you are about seventeen or eighteen years old... Your father is a scholar, right? I remember there was a down-and-out scholar before. He failed the imperial examination for three years, and even had a problem with eating..."

When Ning Qingye heard about his father, his face was not at all expressionless, but just nodded slowly: "It's him."

Old Man Sun sighed a little: "That sour scholar is so ambitious all day long, but he gave birth to a good daughter... You can take this money back. He lived here at me back then, wiping the table and drinking every day, and he had already paid back the favors."

Ning Qingye looked at the silver bill: "I'm not short of money. The old man is old and his life savings are stolen by Xiao Xiao..."

When Old Man Sun heard this, he raised his hand and waved his hand: "Girl, you are a man from the world. Why don't you understand the rules so much? This is not a problem of money. Guests go to the shop to drink, talk about family matters, and be happy or sigh, these are all stories of drinking. I feel pitiful. If you advise me, I will give you two more glasses of wine. The little old man will naturally feel relieved. He will not starve to death without savings.

You raised your hand and threw two hundred taels of silver. You felt relieved and felt that you had done a great good deed. But the old man owed you a favor for nothing, and I remember that I could not repay it for the rest of my life. Is this meaningless after drinking it?”

Ning Qingye hesitated: "I didn't expect the old man to remember my favor..."

"Then I'm not like Sancai, I'm a ungrateful wolf?"

Manager Sun shook his head and handed the silver notes to Ning Qingye: "Old man, I have run a wine shop in the alley all my life. I have basically seen famous people in the world. Although your father is not good at it, he is better than you..."

Ning Qingye frowned slightly and raised his hand to take the silver note: "I was not thinking well this time, but he is not a thing, so he can't compare with me. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he wrapped his cloak tightly and turned around and quickly left the alley.

It looks a little angry.

Manager Sun watched Ning Qingye leave, thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed softly:
