223 Blue Ice Rain, a Figure in the Rain
What Du Bingyan could think of, Jiang Sishui naturally thought of as well.
His gaze swept over the surroundings discreetly, then lingered briefly on the "River Water Tea" sign behind him.
"Yes, tea, please bring me a pot of the best tea, ma'am."
As he spoke, he pulled Du Bingyan to a table and sat down.
The proprietress responded and promptly brewed a pot of fresh tea.
Jiang Sishui casually began to chat: "How should I address the proprietress?"
The proprietress smiled warmly and said, "My surname is Zhou, you two can call me Aunt Zhou."
Jiang Sishui nodded: "Aunt Zhou has been running this tea stall for quite a few years, hasn't she?"
After pouring the tea, Aunt Zhou looked up at Jiang Sishui and said with a forced smile, "I don't have any other skills, so I can only do some small business. No matter how hard life is, I have to keep going."
Jiang Sishui smiled slightly and agreed when she heard her vague and irrelevant answers.
He tested the tea temperature for Du Bingyan and handed her the tea.
He seemed unable to keep quiet and asked curiously, "Are you the only one in this teahouse?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head: "Originally, it was just me, but then I found a helper..."
At this point, Aunt Zhou's chest heaved, and she said angrily, "That brat! He promised to work for me to pay off his debts, but he disappears every few days. I wonder where he's off gallivanting off to again!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice came from above: "Ah, it feels so good to have someone thinking of you."
Aunt Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then quickly walked out of the tea stall.
She stood on tiptoe and peered at the thatched roof, then put her hands on her hips and yelled, "I miss you, you damn fool! You brat, get down here right now, are you going to fix the roof you've ruined?"
A chuckle came from the rooftop, and a boy jumped down safely.
The boy was dressed in a coarse blue-gray cloth shirt and wore a topless baseball cap at an angle. He had a handsome appearance and a bit of baby fat.
He looked to be about the same age as Jiang Xiaoyu, with a somewhat sleazy and uneducated demeanor, like a good-for-nothing hoodlum.
But Jiang Sishui knew that in the short time it took the other person to fall, their gaze swept over him and Du Bingyan twice.
See six directions, listen to all directions.
Not only are his martial arts skills remarkable, but he is also extremely vigilant.
As soon as the boy landed, Aunt Zhou grabbed his ear and yelled, "Tell me! Where have you been gallivanting off to this time?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Aunt Zhou, let go! I'm back now!" the boy cried out dramatically.
"At such a young age, you're already causing trouble everywhere. I think you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!" Aunt Zhou pinched him lightly again before letting go and letting him off the hook.
The boy smiled apologetically and said, "Don't worry! I'll definitely pay you back the wages I owe you."
Aunt Zhou remained noncommittal, giving him a disapproving look, and said, "Guests have arrived, so hurry up and go serve them."
"Hey, I'm coming right now."
The boy readily agreed and ran up to Jiang Sishui and Du Bingyan, saying, "My name is Xiao Wu, and I'm a waiter at this shop. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Jiang Sishui smiled and said, "Young man, you're quite skilled."
Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "I just practiced randomly and learned a little bit of rudimentary kung fu."
Jiang Sishui nodded without saying a word.
Seeing that the tea was ready, Xiao Wu, without giving any further instructions, picked up a rag and began wiping the tables and chairs.
Aunt Zhou was huddled behind the counter, busy with something, I don't know.
suddenly--
A light drizzle sounded, and rain began to fall from the sky without warning.
Du Bingyan subconsciously looked outside the store.
With just one glance, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and her flawless face was filled with astonishment.
"Brother Jiang, this rain...this rain..."
Du Bingyan hurriedly called out to Jiang Sishui, while blinking hard to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.
Without her saying anything, the other three noticed as well.
"What the hell is this?"
Xiao Wu dropped the rag in his hand onto the table, walked to the eaves, stared blankly for a while, and murmured, "In my life, I have never seen such a strange and beautiful rain."
As he spoke, he stretched out one hand.
A raindrop landed in my palm, its blue color shimmering and sparkling.
Outside, a striking blue rain was falling.
The blue rain was drizzling down, and as far as the eye could see, the whole world seemed to have turned blue.
Seeing this strange scene, Du Bingyan asked with some concern, "Brother Jiang, is this rain?"
Jiang Sishui held her hand: "It's raining. Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."
Seeing his calm demeanor, Du Bingyan felt relieved.
Xiao Wu noticed that Aunt Zhou's expression was strange, so he asked, "Aunt Zhou, do you know what this is?"
Aunt Zhou was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Bingyu."
"what?"
"This is freezing rain."
Xiao Wu still didn't hear clearly, so he quickly walked up to her and asked again, "What rain?"
Aunt Zhou stared blankly ahead, looking lost and absent-minded.
"Xiao Wu, I'm leaving this shop to you. I'm off."
After saying that, she turned to leave without waiting for Xiao Wu's reply.
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out, "Hey, don't go! Explain yourself, I..."
The words abruptly stopped, as Aunt Zhou suddenly changed her mind and returned.
Aunt Zhou said solemnly, "Xiao Wu, go to the back storeroom. There's a red copper tea canister in the wooden cabinet at the back. Bring it to me."
Xiao Wu was about to ask more questions, but Aunt Zhou became anxious and urged, "Go! Go quickly!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"
When Xiao Wu heard her voice rise, he immediately stopped talking and turned away.
Seeing Aunt Zhou's anxious expression, Du Bingyan couldn't help but feel nervous as well: "Brother Jiang, are you really alright?"
Jiang Sishui didn't explain. She got up and sat down next to Du Bingyan, letting her lean against her, and smiled, "Aren't you scared now?"
Du Bingyan's eyes sparkled with a hint of shyness as she nodded gently.
Aunt Zhou watched the two people with their backs to her showing affection, and she was speechless.
However, she had no time to care about any of that at the moment. As the blue rain outside grew heavier, her eyes were filled with unease.
Finally, Xiao Wu returned carrying a gourd-shaped red copper tea canister.
Aunt Zhou snatched it, opened the jar, hurriedly scooped out two handfuls of tea leaves, and poured in the boiling water she had prepared beforehand.
Then he solemnly warned, "I'm telling you, don't say anything out of line later, or I'll pull out your tongue!"
Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Wu stopped arguing and repeatedly addressed her as Chen.
Suddenly, in the blue world of rain, a dazzling light flashed and disappeared.
In the hazy light, three figures approached the tea stall.
224 Divine abilities, summoning wind and rain
The sudden change naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Three figures, one in front and two behind, one woman and two men, strolled leisurely through the rain.
Whether it was an illusion or not, with the appearance of the three mysterious figures, the blue rain seemed to intensify, almost becoming a downpour.
They walked at a leisurely pace, but in the blink of an eye they arrived at the tea stall.
flash!
It's almost exactly the same as the Flower Fairy's "Phantom Wonderland"!
Now, even a fool would know that the person who came was no ordinary person.
The three mysterious figures were all dressed in blue.
The two men were an older and a younger one. The older one looked to be in his forties, with a black band tied around his forehead; the younger one had white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard, and a peaceful face.
The woman ahead, despite the weather not being cold, was wearing a thick snow coat under her blue robe.
She kept her head down, her entire head hidden under the hood of her blue robe, only the lower half of her face was visible.
The atmosphere in the teahouse became quiet, with only the sound of pattering rain.
