A year later.

In the territory of the Southern Tang Kingdom, Dehua City is located in the south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The sky was still dawning, and the east gradually revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

There were more pedestrians on Chengdong Street, and Chen Ji Steamed Bun Shop gradually began to have business, from time to time there were people to buy steamed buns, and the proprietress shouted from time to time, looking at the people who kept coming to buy steamed buns, there were officials of the government, servants from major wealthy families, and countrymen who came to the market to sell vegetables early, and the smile on the face of the proprietress gradually thickened.

On the opposite side of the bun shop, on the other side of the street, under a blue brick and red tile wall, a teenager was curled up, a tattered and thin cotton coat wrapped around his body, some cotton wool in the cotton clothes had been exposed, and a few had fallen to the ground. The boy's hair was disheveled, but it was difficult to cover his handsome face, and a pair of star-like eyes exuded a trace of cold chill.

This year's winter came very early, the cold wind blew from the north, passed through the Yangtze River, forming a colder river wind, the young man couldn't help but shiver, he pulled the thin cotton clothes, hoping to wrap his thin body tightly, blocking the cold attack of the cold wind. The boy looked at the bun shop opposite.

A drawer of buns was taken out of the steamer and placed on the board, and the proprietress wrapped the buns in paper bags and delivered them to the guests who bought the buns. The hot bun gave off a burst of meaty aroma, and the fragrance reached the nose of the boy across the street, who inhaled sharply, and the saliva in his mouth swirled on the tip of his tongue. Beside the young man, a yellow dog lay beside him, and the yellow dog's eyes were firmly fixed on the bun shop opposite, and from time to time he let out a few low whines.

The sky began to brighten, the east showed a blood-red morning glow, and there were more and more people on Chengdong Street.

The business of the bun shop is getting better and better, and the smile of the proprietress is getting stronger and stronger.

The whole cage of buns began to bottom, the proprietress looked at the boy and dog across the street, frowned, sighed, reached out and took two buns, and threw them at the boy and dog across the street. One bun fell impartially into the boy's arms, and the other bun was jumped up by the yellow dog who seemed to have weak limbs and took it in his mouth.

"Is that him?" I don't know when, there was a person standing behind the proprietress, the owner of the bun shop, the boss of the bun shop was short in stature, he looked like he should be in his forties, it seemed that he had just finished the noodles and came out, a body of flour spilled on him, and the boss's face was pale, like a serious illness. And the proprietress is relatively tall.

The proprietress took off her gown, leaving a tight-fitting cloth on her body, and Ihi could see the fat around her waist, and she patted the dirt on her chest, her round breasts stirred up a wave under her pat. The boss looked at the turbulent chest with her patting and undulating, and couldn't help but "grunt", which was the sound of swallowing saliva. The proprietress obviously saw that the other party's non-protruding Adam's apple moved up and down, and suddenly became annoyed.

"Get out." The proprietress kicked at the boss, but the boss easily dodged it, and the boss smiled stupidly.

"If the time is right, I think it should be him, but I see a different temperament from him, and I think it's a little strange." The proprietress clasped her arms to her chest and leaned against the eaves of the bun shop and said.

"What's weird, I think he is." The boss continued.

"I can't say it, but I think he has a very heavy temperament, this is not all in the big family, and I have always thought it is even stranger that the Huainan Ye family has all died, and it is impossible to have any living mouths, according to the news sent over there, Ye Yinfeng, the only young master of the Ye family, should also be dead, and someone has seen with their own eyes that the Ye family has turned into a pile of ruins."

"I've seen the portrait that came over there, it's really similar, but there can't be such a similar person in the world, but I think his eyes are very weird, very calm, but there is a little coldness, there is no clarity of the young man at all, and there is no arrogance like the big family, if it is him, why is there no trace of panic in his eyes." The boss walked out of the bun shop from the side of the proprietress and stretched his waist and said, and then walked to the boy and the dog across the street.

"Don't go over" The proprietress snorted softly, and the boss was stunned and hesitated, but still restrained his feet.

"I've already spread the news over there, let's wait and see what happens, and we'll deal with it when the order is issued over there, it's been ten years, I don't want to expose our identities because of this young man" After speaking, the proprietress turned around and entered the bun shop.

The boy swallowed the bun in his hand in three or two times, he turned to look at the yellow dog beside him, the yellow dog still held the bun in his mouth, half in the mouth and half exposed, and the yellow dog's saliva was falling down. The yellow dog noticed the young man's gaze, and immediately ran out into the street.

"Don't run, or I'll eat you tonight," the boy hurriedly chased after the yellow dog.

The owner of the steamed bun shop looked at the back of the young man leaving, shook his head, and walked into the steamed bun shop.

This scene has been staged since half a month ago, and no one knows where this young man came from, as if among the many beggars in the city, suddenly there is another beggar. Of course, no one will pay attention to one more beggar or one less beggar, but the owner and proprietress of the bun shop on Chengdong Street do. Not because they wanted to pay attention, but because the boy would appear on the opposite side of the bun shop at dawn every day since he arrived. The proprietress seems to have a kind-hearted heart (at least that's what the boy thinks), and every time she gives him two free buns, one for the boy and one for the yellow dog next to the boy. And every time he eats his own buns, he will grab the buns in the mouth of the yellow dog, the yellow dog runs, the boy chases, and I don't know if the boy can grab the bun in the mouth of the yellow dog.

Dehua City, the former Tang Dynasty was Jiangzhou, Tianbao was changed to Heyang County in the first year, and it was changed back to Jiangzhou in the first year of Qianyuan, in the early days of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiangzhou was considered to be the place of moral education in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it was changed to Dehua and abolished Jiangzhou.

The streets are crowded with pedestrians.

From time to time in the crowd, there is a yellow dog shuttling, with a bag in his mouth, and a beggar boy has been chasing after him, and he doesn't know what to say, the dog that looks old, the yellow hair on his body doesn't know how much he has fallen off, and the speed of running is as fast as an arrow, passing through the crowd, and the seemingly thin boy seems to be full of strength, and still remains less than two feet away from the yellow dog.

???????

At this time, six hundred miles away from Dehua City, on Sanqing Mountain.

Yujing Peak, the highest peak of Sanqing Mountain, two Taoist priests sit cross-legged, one priest is dressed in black Taoist clothes, his face is thin, his beard is long, and he has the momentum of a Taoist fairy wind, while the other Taoist priest is dressed in a white Taoist robe, fat, red-faced and big-eared, looks ordinary, next to a few handsome Taoist children standing, holding a tea set, and pouring tea on the tea next to the two Taoist priests from time to time.

This rising sun has risen in the east, overlooking from the Yujing Peak, the rising sun is like a large jade plate embedded in this blue sky. The jade plate was surrounded by the bewitching morning glow, like a ball of demon fire, baking the jade plate red.

There is a chessboard between the two Taoist priests, and the thin Taoist priest holds the sunspot between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and the whisk held in his left hand keeps swinging. With a slight stretch of his right hand, the black man landed on the chessboard.

"Good chess, hahahaha," the fat Taoist priest laughed happily.

"The game of chess changes rapidly, and good chess may not be able to win." The thin Taoist priest stroked his long beard with his right hand and said lightly.

"It's impossible to lose good chess, the game of chess changes rapidly, and the world is nothing more than that. I hope you can win this good move. ”

"Hahahaha"

The two Taoist priests glanced at each other and let out bursts of laughter.
