Chapter 244: No advance, no retreat(1/2)

On this day, the morning in Huashui Town was still as usual, with hot steam simmering and disturbing, and the shouts of hawking and shouting were rising and falling.

Only Lu An's shop lacked the sound it should have, and it was a little cold and deserted, which seemed a little out of place with this chaotic morning.

Lu An went out early in the morning and greeted his neighbors along the way.

All of this seems to be no different from usual, but there are some different expressions on Lu An's face.

Shui Bo yawned and attached himself to the table, holding an extremely old pipe in his hand, and waving his other hand constantly, as if he was driving mosquitoes. When he saw Lu An coming, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Xiao Yi, how is that person?" Shui Bo asked.

Lu An nodded, "It's okay."

Shui Bo replied in surprise: "Oh? So fast, it seems that your friend is a bit unusual."

Lu An smiled without refuting.

Shui Bo put down the pipe in his hand and coughed softly, "It seems that it is a bit inconsistent with your temperament so early? He has empty hands. What are you going to do when you wake up so early?"

Lu An thought for a while, shook his head, looking confused, "Buy wine?"

“Buy wine?”

Shui Bo repeated this and was puzzled. He felt that this kid seemed a little strange today. Although he was smiling like before, he always felt something was wrong. With his years of photography, he felt that something must be something.

Lu An thought for a while, then nodded and said nodded, because he could not think of a better reason other than this reason.

Shui Bo's eyes slowly became deeper, and he got up and drilled directly into the cellar. After fiddling for a long time, he took a jar of dirty wine from below, and then stuffed it directly into Lu An's hand, "I don't need to buy wine, I'll give it to you."

Lu Anmu took the jar of wine in a daze. The stickers on it were a little faded, and he couldn't see what was written, "What kind of wine is this?"

Shui Bo's mouth suddenly grinned to the maximum and smiled: "Holy daughter Hong, who has been sealed for eighteen years."

Lu An's eyes widened in an instant, and he was startled and asked, "Uncle Shui, are you?"

Seeing that Lu An was going to push the wine back, Shui Bo quickly said seriously: "Xue'er is not lucky, but it doesn't matter. If you drink this wine, it's her blessing."

"But..." Lu An looked in a dilemma.

Shui Bo pretended to be angry and said, "Xiao Yi, I know you will definitely not be able to drink Xueer's wedding wine by then. If you don't drink this wine now, you really won't have the chance to drink it in the future! It's also a little care for Shui Bo."

Lu An nodded bitterly and agreed.

Then Shui Bo smiled happily.

Lu An looked at the wine shop and only Shui Bo was the only one who was the wine shop today. He asked in confusion: "Where is Xue'er? Are you the only one today?"

Uncle Shui laughed dryly, "Xiao Yi, there are a few days when the little girl can't get up."

Lu An nodded thoughtfully, then continued, "Brother Shui, how did you know I'm leaving? Did Luo Chen tell you?"

"I, the old man, don't ask questions about you young people. I can see that today you are a little different from usual. In the past, you were tired but your expression was joyful, but today you are full of vitality, but this expression seems a bit sad. After thinking about it, it's probably because you are leaving here, right?" Shui Bo said a few casually.

Lu An praised repeatedly: "I didn't expect that you are so powerful, you can see this."

Uncle Shui laughed, "Then you underestimate me too much. When I went out to travel to the world, you kid was still in the womb's belly. I can't tell this little thought?"

Lu An quickly nodded in agreement: "It's not a loss, it's an old world."

Shui Bo continued to praise himself proudly, and Lu An was so happy that he listened to it again. Although he had heard about it many times, he still heard different feelings when he heard it again today.

When Shui Bo spoke dry, Lu An slowly got up, hugged the baby daughter Hong, and said, "Shui Bo, I'm leaving. Remember to say hello to Xueer for me."

Shui Bo opened his mouth and then just nodded.

When Lu An walked two steps, he suddenly remembered something, and then came to Shui Bo's ear and whispered: "Lu Chen will be a good son-in-law in the future, who can be both literary and martial."

After saying that, he blinked at Shui Bo.

Shui Bo's expression was immediately stunned, then he breathed heavily and asked in confusion: "Really?"

Lu An nodded and said with a wicked smile: "Really, so you have to let Xueer catch it this time."

"How can that be? This is Xue'er's business. I won't interfere. She just needs to like it." Although she said that, the happy expression on her face was not covered at all, and her eyes narrowed into a line with joy.

Lu An saw Bo Shui's expression, shook his hand and left directly.

Shui Bo looked at Lu An's figure leaving, and his expression immediately returned to normal. He sighed directly, then shook his head, and said with relief: "This kid is leaving, and he is still thinking about Xue'er. I don't know if he is interested in Xue'er?" He muttered twice, and then giggled alone there.

......

Lu An was walking towards the shop with a jar of wine and a few steamed buns in his arms. When he was halfway up the road, he saw a person in a noodle shop eating noodles.

Lu An's brows frowned instantly, and the expression on his face immediately became gloomy.

Maybe Lu An had been watching for too long, so the man looked up, took a look, then raised the chopsticks in his hand, greeted Lu An, and even waved to signal Lu An to come and eat noodles together.

Lu An's expression changed again and again. He put away the things in his hand and walked slowly over.

"Uncle Zhang, a bowl of noodles with scallion oil without coriander." Lu An shouted to the noodle shop owner, and then sat opposite the man.

The man saw Lu An sitting opposite him, and was not panicked at all. He smiled and pointed to the bowl of noodles and said, "This beef noodles are strong and delicious."

At this time, Uncle Zhang also came over with Lu An's noodles, wiped his hands on the apron, and said proudly: "No, I have made this noodles for twenty years. From the first bowl of noodles to today, this bowl of noodles has the same flavor. Everyone who has eaten them has said it is OK."

The man gave Uncle Zhang a thumbs up, chewing and praised, "No wonder it's so delicious. It turns out to be an old brand, so I have to have another bowl of it when I take time."

Hearing this praise, Uncle Zhang was immediately overjoyed and was about to continue showing off. A woman shouted from behind him, "Zhang Bapi, what are you doing? Why don't you come and help quickly, you will know how to be lazy all day long and look for sucking!"

Uncle Zhang immediately smiled apologetically and said embarrassedly: "Don't be a woman at home." As he said that, he quickly turned around and trotted over.

Seeing that Lu An had no movement, the man directly pulled a pair of chopsticks and handed it over, "If you don't mix it, the noodles will be lump."

Lu An couldn't help but take the chopsticks and then slowly stirred them up, but the thought on his face looked extremely solemn.

The man still didn't feel any discomfort, just as Lu An in front of him was his old friend, and he handed over the hot sauce and rice vinegar in front of him.

Lu An also took it without saying a word, and the two of them started to eat noodles quietly.

It would be best if the two of them put down the chopsticks in their hands almost at the same time. Lu An still had a solemn expression. This bowl of noodles may be the most stressful bowl of noodles he had ever eaten.

The man finished his last sip of soup and made an extremely comfortable sound, then wiped the sweat from his face, and then he really looked at Lu An.

Then the two of them looked at each other.

The man kept nodding slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became increasingly unconcealed.

The man opposite Lu An was dressed in an ordinary manner and looked very ordinary, but this man looked very thick, but he had no temperament and dark skin. He looked like a middle-aged man who had been farming in the field all year round, and his face always showed a harmless smile.

However, the subconscious in Lu An's heart kept reminding him that the person in front of him was the same type of person as him.

This feeling made Lu An's vigilance towards him greatly.

What are the same kind of people? Of course, they are people with too much blood on their hands and extremely evil spirits on their bodies.

Several candidates appeared in Lu An's mind, but these options made him feel a little bad.

"Who are you?" Lu An asked straightforwardly.

The man took a few breaths lightly, opened his clothes slightly, suffused the wind, and heard the words, he replied with a smile: "My surname is Sun, my son Xiaosun, my name is Shu, Mu Youcun, Sunshu."

"Sun Shu?" Lu An tried his best to recall in his mind, and found that he seemed to have no impression at all, and he had no idea who he was.

Seeing that Lu An frowned and didn't say anything, Sun Shu continued, "You are Lu An, right? Oh, no, it's Yi An now."

Lu An's expression changed, he stood up directly, and then looked at Sun Shu.

Sun Shu was also frightened by Lu An and immediately stood up.

The expressions of the two became serious at the same time.

"Boss check out!"

After three seconds of pause, the two of them shouted out at the same time.

Uncle Zhang walked over and said, "Two papers on noodles and four papers on beef noodles, should they be separated or together?"

Sun Shu smiled slightly, threw down four cents directly, and said, "Splied, pay for each one."

Uncle Zhang wiped the four cents into his hand, and then looked at Lu An.

Lu An kept looking at Sun Shu, then took out two cents and handed them over.

Uncle Zhang weighed it and said, "I'm together, let's go slowly."

Sun Shu also saw that Lu An was extremely afraid of him, smiled slightly, first looked into the distance, and then said to Lu An: "Talk?"

Lu An rubbed his fingers and kept reminding him in his heart. He nodded after thinking for a long time.

Then Sun Shu walked slowly.

Lu An also followed him, just ten meters away from him, not far or near.

The two of them left without any rush or slow down and went directly to the open space outside the town.

Sun Shu stopped, turned around, and looked at Lu An with his hands crossed his chest.

Lu An was not afraid at all, and he also looked at it like this.

The two looked at each other quietly for ten seconds.

As a result, Sun Shu's concentration was not as good as Lu An, and he immediately coughed lightly, which relieved his discomfort, "Lu An, right?"

Lu An nodded and asked again: "Who are you?"
