Chapter 27 Coming to You
The next day, Huo Zheng also got up early. When Chunzhi made the tofu and was ready to set up the stall, he just walked out of the house.
Chunzhi saw him coming out and said to him, "It's a long way to go from Taohua Lane to West Street. You'd better go in a wheelchair."
You can only walk short distances with the support of a cane, and you will still feel tired if you walk a long distance.
Huo Zheng put his crutches in the corner, got in the wheelchair and went out with Chunzhi.
Chunzhi pushed the cart with some difficulty, but she was in a good mood. She walked through one street after another to West Street in the dim morning light.
Huo Zheng pushed the wheel and followed her.
Chunzhi pushed the cart and talked to him, "I'll take you there today. You can get up later and go later."
Huo Zheng just wanted to know how the people in Nanzhou lived.
Is Linshui Town like other places where people’s fields are occupied and unjust cases occur frequently?
Chunzhi, however, thought that he was too bored recuperating at home.
Huo Zheng didn't explain and pushed the wheelchair for a long time before finally arriving at West Street.
It was still dark, but the vendors all over the street were already busy.
Chunzhi pushed the cart to the fixed location, greeted Aunt Zhang who was selling pancakes nearby, and then began to arrange the tofu skillfully.
Huo Zheng parked his wheelchair next to Chunzhi and watched her busy herself.
When Aunt Zhang saw Huo Qi coming, she smiled and said, "Mr. Huo is here too."
Huo Qi nodded, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Chunzhi was a little surprised when she heard this: "You knew this was Aunt Zhang?"
If she remembered correctly, Huo Qi had only met Aunt Zhang on the day of his wedding.
He actually remembered someone he had only met once.
Huo Zheng said: "I didn't lose my memory, so of course I remember."
Chunzhi laughed and said, "You have a photographic memory."
Huo Zheng said disapprovingly: "What's the big deal?"
He can truly remember everything he reads.
Not long after Chunzhi opened her stall, people started coming to buy tofu. Every time they saw Huo Qi sitting next to her, they would ask, "Chunzhi, is this your new husband?"
After asking, I have to praise him again, "He is so handsome!"
He particularly likes lively occasions and would add, "He is more handsome than the number one scholar."
Chunzhi was afraid that Huo Qi would be embarrassed, so she took off the purse from her waist and handed it to him. "Don't sit here and be stared at by others. Go to the front and take a look. If you want to buy anything, just buy it."
Huo Zheng didn't answer, "Are you chasing me away?"
He didn't even feel embarrassed sitting next to the tofu stall, but Chunzhi actually told him not to sit there.
"How could I chase you away?" Chunzhi stuffed the purse into his hand. "I just saw that you were sitting here with nothing to do. Why don't you go to the front and take a walk and buy something to eat."
Chunzhi sets up her stall early every morning, so she doesn’t have time to eat breakfast.
I made breakfast for Huo Zheng a few days ago, but I didn't have time today, so I planned to let him buy it himself at West Street.
After hearing this, Huo Zheng believed that Chunzhi did not drive him away.
He asked Chunzhi, "What do you like to eat?"
"The steamed buns are from Li Ji up ahead," Chunzhi said. "The meat buns are the best, but the vegetable buns are good too. You can buy whatever you like."
"Okay." Huo Zheng pushed the wheelchair away.
By this time, the sky was already bright, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street, with people coming to buy vegetables and meat crowding around.
Huo Zheng walked among the crowd in a wheelchair, without any embarrassment due to his disabled legs.
Aunt Zhang said to Chunzhi, "Your husband is in a wheelchair, and there are so many young ladies and wives secretly looking at him."
Chunzhi glanced in the direction Huo Zheng was going and said with a smile, "It really is."
"You're still laughing." Aunt Zhang said, "Be careful, your husband might be seduced away by someone else."
Chunzhi said, "He's not that easy to seduce."
Aunt Zhang asked, "What do you mean?"
Chunzhi was also reluctant to tell Aunt Zhang that Huo Qi only had "distinct facial features but ordinary looks" and that none of the young girls and wives on the street would catch his eye.
She smiled but said nothing.
Aunt Zhang didn't ask any further questions, but just said that newlyweds have many little secrets.
Chunzhi suddenly: "..."
West Street was crowded with people, and she soon lost sight of Huo Qi's back.
People selling tofu lined up in front of the stall, and Chunzhi focused on doing business.
But today, while the vendors were busy, a group of soldiers suddenly arrived on the street and began smashing the stalls without saying a word, scaring away the shoppers. They also shouted, "The Prince of Chang'an is inspecting Nanzhou. All streets are cleared!"
The officers and soldiers shouted and walked from one end of the street to the other, smashing things and overturning stalls.
Seeing this, Chunzhi quickly put away the tofu, and the surrounding vendors also immediately began to pack up their things and push their carts away.
But Huo Qi hasn't come back yet.
Chunzhi was afraid that he, a wheelchair user, would be bumped into by these officers and soldiers, so she looked anxiously in the direction he was heading.
When the pork seller, Brother Zhao, left, he asked her, "Chunzhi, what are you still looking at? Hurry up and leave, or they'll smash your tofu stall."
"Let's go!"
Chunzhi responded while pushing the cart in the direction where Huo Qi went.
An officer saw that she was pretty and deliberately stopped her cart to prevent her from leaving.
Chunzhi frowned and said, "Sir..."
At this moment, Huo Qi suddenly appeared and pushed the soldier out with her cart. "Prince Chang'an is inspecting Nanzhou, and you still dare to molest decent women here? Are you tired of living?"
The officer who was knocked to the ground got up and was about to attack Huo Qi. When the leading officer heard him mention Prince Chang'an, he immediately held down the officer who had just gotten up and said, "Prince Chang'an has come to Nanzhou. Don't cause trouble these days!"
The leading officer said this, looking at Huo Qi with a vigilant look.
Although the young man in front of them was dressed simply and had difficulty walking, his aura was unmatched even by their prefect.
If you can avoid offending someone, it’s better not to offend them.
"Let's go." Huo Zheng didn't even spare them a second glance as he helped Chunzhi push the cart back. "They're destroying stalls everywhere. Why are you coming here if you don't want to pack up and go home?"
Chunzhi said, "I came to see you."
She said, "I want to go home right away, but you haven't come back yet. How can I go back alone? What if you can't find the way home?"
Chunzhi thought that this was the first time she brought Huo Zheng out, and she couldn't just leave him outside alone.
Huo Zheng was slightly stunned. "When there is danger, take care of yourself first, don't worry about me."
Chunzhi said, "How can that be possible?"
Huo Zheng was about to say something when he heard her say, "My wallet is still with you."
Chunzhi said half sincerely and half jokingly: "I can ignore you, but I can't give up my wallet."
Huo Zheng suddenly: "..."
The whole street was a mess.
The street vendor whose stall was smashed cried out in despair.
Chunzhi pushed the cart very quickly, and from time to time she looked back to see if Huo Qi was keeping up, and asked him, "Did you buy Li Ji's buns?"
Huo Zheng was too lazy to answer.
There was a long queue in front of Li Ji's steamed bun shop. As soon as he got there, he heard soldiers and officers overturning stalls on the street.
Worried that Chunzhi would be bullied by the soldiers, Huo Zheng immediately turned back.
Finally, the man said that he could ignore him but he couldn't give up his wallet.
Oh.
Huo Zheng was angry.
