"Xiao Ming, are you okay?" Qing Lan asked quickly when she saw Tang Sha's expression was wrong.

Tang Sha glanced at Qinglan, shook his head, and then asked: "Is the bird spirit back?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about this. Que Ling came back this afternoon and... brought his father with him." Qing Lan thought about what Zhou Fang said today, and her expression was a little strange.

"Her father? General Zhou?" Tang Sha said in surprise.

"Yes, he may still be on the second floor of the hall now." Qinglan replied.

Tang Sha frowned. Her current state was extremely bad and she was not in the mood to meet anyone. Her mind was like a mess.

Qing Lan seemed to have noticed Tang Sha's dilemma and said, "Don't worry, they know you are sick and they didn't let you see them right now."

"Then it's so late, why does General Zhou want to stay with us?" I don't know what kind of person Que Ling's father is. I have heard about his deeds from the book. Especially the bottomless protector.

Those beautiful things.

"General Zhou really wants to stay, but not in a hotel. We can't accommodate him in the hotel, and he's bringing people with him. So we rented out the restaurant diagonally across the street next to the intersection, and we'll stay there tonight." Qinglan explained.

road.

Tang Sha understood, but then became confused again: "Sister Qing, why did the general come to our place this week?" Even if he was to see his daughter, there was no need to bring his subordinates here, and he had to stay here to guard her.

"According to General Zhou...he is here to see you, by the way..." Qinglan hesitated.

"What do you want to do by the way?"

"By the way, take a look at my...son-in-law." Qinglan said with difficulty.

Tang Sha:???Black question mark

What's the situation? Son-in-law? As far as she knows, Que Ling is the only daughter of the Zhou family, right? When did Que Ling get married? She didn't know! Could it be that she missed such a big event because she was away from the bookstore for a long time?

Qing Lan looked at Tang Sha, who was staring at her with a confused expression, and shook her head to express that she didn't know what was going on.

"Let's see you tomorrow, Sister Qing. You've been taking care of me for a day, so go back and rest first."

After Tang Sha fainted, she was moved to her own room. The room where Xie Chuan was treated yesterday had been cleared out, and Shen You moved there.

I'm afraid I can't hide my identity. It doesn't matter. Anyway, everyone in the bookstore is my own. It doesn't matter whether I am a boy or a girl.

This is the second floor of the lobby.

The four of them sat around a wooden table. Shen You, who was sitting opposite the stairs, was holding a newly released serial novel in his hand, reading it with gusto. Unexpectedly, there is such a new thing. This good thing in Miss Tang's shop is still available.

That's quite a lot.

Especially the manuscripts in the cabinet that I looked at today. They are some strange knowledge that she recorded herself. There is a table of contents in front of it, but those few books are not finished and may still be in progress.

If these books were made public, I'm afraid it would cause a stir.

Yuan Fang sat opposite Shen You, also reading a book, about folk customs.

Que Ling sat on Shen You's right, reading books on political theory, but he had a special liking for these books.

The person opposite Que Ling was naturally Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang was holding a book and laughing, and from time to time he would slap the table when he got excited.

What he was reading was "New Laughing Forest". This book was written by a "contracted author" of the bookstore and collected folk jokes from all over the country.

Tang Sha has also read this book, but Tang Sha can't find the funny point at all. Maybe it's because of the generation gap.

So out of interest, Tang Sha also wrote a small excerpt of some new century jokes and attached it to the end of "New Laughing Forest".

Facing this scene, the other three people were still immersed in their own world and were not disturbed at all.

Finally, hahahahaha, Zhou Fang burst out laughing and slapped the table in excitement.

"Crack! Bang!!"

The other three people:…

Zhou Fang:...He didn't mean it

"Hey, this table doesn't seem to work well." Zhou Fang, an eight-foot tall man, rubbed the back of his head shyly and said with an embarrassed smile.

The wooden table finally succumbed to its force and passed away.

"Zhou Fang!" Que Ling roared angrily, why does she have such a father? It's so embarrassing!

As a general, Zhou Fang naturally has to have some backbone outside: "What? I can still afford a table. Come, clean these up. I'm exhausted, and I have to go back to rest." Zhou Fang After saying that, he put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and strode downstairs.

The soldiers under his command were also helpless. In fact, what is the difference between our general and a child?

Together, he and General Yi were sometimes like two demon kings, with a combined IQ of ten years.

Que Ling nodded apologetically to Shen You and Yuan Fang. There was nothing she could do about such a father.

…

The lights were turned off, and Tang Sha lay on the bed with her eyes open. She thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days. Sometimes, she felt really tired, but there was always a voice telling her that she had to go on and live well. Get through it.

At night, when everything was quiet, Tang Sha had a dream.

She dreamed that she saw the abbot for the last time, and the abbot raised his skinny hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Be happy...don't cry, don't be sad, smile...smile...smile..."

The abbot's hand dropped, but Tang Sha failed to catch it.

Tang Sha dreamed that she smiled and watched the funeral procession of the abbot.

Abbot, no matter how sad I am, I will continue to live with a smile, because I know that you will always be with me and will protect me. As I go on, you will be my Buddha.

Tang Sha turned around and left, stepping into a curtain of light.

It was so dazzling that Tang Sha had to raise his hand to block it, and the light was finally no longer so dazzling.

Tang Sha opened her eyes completely and sat up with difficulty.

It turns out I was dreaming, it’s dawn...

Shen You is worthy of being a living person. Speaking from experience, every menstrual period does not require lying down for several days, but this time she recovered so quickly.

Tang Sha thought for a while, and in order not to make the people in the store look awkward to Shen You, she still wore men's clothes. The main reason was to see Zhou Fang.

After getting dressed, I asked Aunt Zhang to bring some hot water for washing, and then went to the hall.

Sure enough, Zhou Fang was used to getting up early, so he went to the second floor to wait as soon as the bookstore opened.

Many guests saw that the door was guarded by officers and soldiers, so they went home one after another.

Uncle Wu was so helpless that he had no choice but to put up a sign of closure.

"Why are you closed today?" The voice was easy-going, but it also had an air of awe.

As soon as Uncle Wu hung up the beat, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

When he turned around and looked at the person, he immediately bent down and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang is here. Is he here to discuss books with Xie Chuan and the others today?"

This person was the old man who often came to the bookstore to argue with them.

"Exactly." Lao Wang replied.

"Hey! I'm afraid Mr. Wang won't be able to get what he wanted this time. Something happened to the bookstore the day before yesterday, and it was closed for two days yesterday." Uncle Wu sighed.

"What happened?" Mr. Wang looked around the bookstore. The door had been replaced with a new one, and the arrangement of things inside had also changed a lot.

"You don't know something. A group of gangsters made trouble in the bookstore the day before yesterday. Xie Chuan almost died!" Uncle Wu was still a little angry when he said this. "Later, Mr. Ning had a fight with those gangsters. I saw the posture,

I’m afraid those people won’t let it go.”

When Mr. Wang heard this, his face turned ugly, and he waved his sleeves and said righteously: "There are people in the imperial city who are so wanton!"

Uncle Wu also shook his head: "Those people are from the slums. Even the court can't control them. What can we do?"
