Chapter 252: A Passing Toy
After three days, two nights and eight hours, Lin Ling and Pu Yangjing finally entered the border of the Western Winter Kingdom and came to Mocheng.
Shen Tu Zhu and others found an inn called 'Changlai' in Mocheng to live, and Lin Ling and Puyang Jing changed their faces and also stayed in that inn. The inns in the desert are not like other places, the conditions are not so good, and the air is not so fresh.
The palace of the Western Winter Kingdom is not like other countries with three layers of carved beams and paintings, silver bricks and blue tiles, but like a pyramid, which makes people yearn for it. There are many indigenous houses around, which are used by the people of Xidong.
The people here are dressed in peculiar fashion, and the long hair of the women is wrapped in a headscarf, and so are the men. The costumes come in different colors, and the ornaments worn on them are even more varied. They speak the local indigenous language, and only a small number of people can speak Chinese.
**********
【Frequent Inn】
They lived in the same inn with Shen Tuzhu, and in order not to be discovered, Puyang Jing took Lin Ling to book the most marginal room in this inn. It was a large room with a compartment in it, which was just right for Lin Ling and Pu Yangjing.
Pu Yangjing got two sets of local people's clothes out of nowhere and asked Lin Ling to change them immediately.
Lin Ling hugged that set of clothes, which looked like the clothes of ethnic minorities at a glance, but she didn't know which nationality it was.
"Aren't Western Dong and Southern Xia allies, why do we still sneak around like we did in Chengyue..."
"We come uninvited, and we have to avoid being discovered by Shen Tu, this is the only way. Pu Yangjing said as he prepared to change his clothes.
"Wait... Wait a minute..."Lin Ling saw that Pu Yangjing had taken off the outermost robe, and hurriedly ran into the compartment with the clothes in his arms, and closed the door with his hand.
"Hehe..."Pu Yangjing smiled meaningfully, and clearly heard the sound of Lin Ling locking the door in the compartment.
After about a stick of incense, Pu Yangjing had already changed his clothes and was waiting for Lin Ling. As he was about to hide his changed clothes, the little robot he picked up accidentally fell out of the long sleeves of his clothes.
Pu Yangjing bent down to pick up the little robot, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully: What is this? Could it be that what magic weapon can't be?
"Second Emperor Brother, how is it?" Lin Ling said as she opened the door and came out. Circled around twice in front of Pu Yangjing, showing how beautiful she was in that dress.
Lin Ling had seen some of the costumes of this ethnic minority before, and she also wore some when performing on stage, so it is not difficult to wear them now. But with the different styles of headdresses, coupled with her long hair and original hairstyle, Lin Ling had no choice but to put it on her head casually.
It didn't matter if he turned around this time, the headdress on his head fell off without wearing it properly, and he happened to knock off the little robot that Pu Yangjing was holding in his hand.
There was a "bang", and the little robot fell to the ground.
"Oops... Didn't wear it well..."Lin Ling smiled awkwardly, squatted down to pick up the headdress, and then was shocked to find the little robot.
"This is?" Robot toy? Lin Ling quickly picked up the little robot and made sure that it was really from modern times, not a product of ancient times.
"This..."Pu Yangjing took the little robot from Lin Ling's hand and explained: "It was picked up by the reeds by the river when this king went to look for Ye Chen. As for what it is, the king does not know. At that time, I just thought that this thing was the strangest, unheard of and unseen, and I was curious, so I brought it back to study and study. ”
Lin Ling's eyes stared at the little robot without blinking, no, this is a modern thing! It must be a product of 21st century science. But why did this robot toy appear in ancient times? She definitely didn't bring it, she didn't like it. It couldn't have been brought here by Ye Chen! What kind of character is Ye Chen, how can she still play with children's toys? Or is there someone else who has crossed over besides her and Ye Chen?
Pu Yangjing looked at Lin Ling's intent, thinking that she knew what it was, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the imperial sister knows this thing?"
Do you want to admit it? Lin Ling hesitated, not knowing how to explain the little robot toy to Pu Yangjing. However, since it is a 21st century thing, you may be able to find some clues in it. What if, it's really a toy that Yechen brought over?
The more Lin Ling looked at it, the more strange she felt, and her expression became serious: "Don't hide it from the second imperial brother, this thing really makes the imperial sister feel a little familiar." Second Imperial Brother, can you lend it to the Imperial Sister for a closer look?"
"Of course. Pu Yangjing said happily and handed the little robot to Lin Ling.
The flame of memory ignited in Lin Ling's mind, and she took the little robot toy and looked at it over and over again. The four words 'Thousand Nights No. 1' on the back of the little robot are the most familiar, as if they have seen them somewhere.
……… Memory Fragments......
"Kiki, aren't robots toys for boys? why don't you ask your mother to buy you toys for girls who look better?"
"I just like Xiaobai! Who said that only boys can play with robots?"
……
The picture reappeared one by one, and Lin Ling suddenly realized, isn't this little robot the toy of the little girl named Qiqi? It can't be just similar, she hasn't heard of a robot toy with the brand of 'Thousand Nights No. 1'. So Kiki's little robot toy should be special and unique.
"Hey... Imperial Sister...?" Puyang Jing saw Lin Ling holding the little robot in her hand and began to be in a daze, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said, "Are you okay?"
"No... It's okay. Lin Ling said as she spoke, unconsciously shed tears, wiped her tears with her own hands, and said, "It's just that I suddenly remembered my brother." ”
Seeing Lin Ling holding the little robot tightly in her arms, she burst into tears. Pu Yangjing was a little at a loss, just thinking that she was touching something. Anyway, I've been studying this thing for a few days and I don't have a clue, so if she likes it, I'll give it to her.
"If the imperial sister likes this thing, take it!" Pu Yangjing sighed.
"Really?" Lin Ling was overjoyed, she didn't expect Pu Yangjing to agree to send her so easily. Yes, she was in love. Not only did I think of Kiki, but I also thought of her family and friends who are far away in modern times.
When Lin Ling calmed down her sad mood, Pu Yangjing called the inn junior and ordered some meals casually, and the two simply finished eating.
Then it's time for the conversation. Pu Yangjing closed the doors and windows and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, before he sat down face-to-face with Lin Ling and told what he had heard and seen.
The room booked by Puyang Jing is on the second floor, and the first floor is full of guests. He had only been standing in the hallway on the second floor for a few moments, and he had already heard a lot of news. Among them, there are only two useful messages. One is what kind of event is going to be held by the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa who is elusive and never shows up in the near future, and those who go to participate in the event can buy their favorite spirit beasts at half price. The second is that a favored minister in the Xidong Palace is going to marry a princess, so Mocheng has been so lively recently.
Lin Ling had a question in his head, since this Western Winter Country is located in a desert area, how can there be a Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa here?
"Ten Thousand Beasts, that means there are a lot of animals. But isn't this a desert? There is no forest, how can those spirit beasts survive?"
"It is rumored that at the beginning, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa was not built in the Western Winter Kingdom, but no one knows where it is. At that time, the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa was a woman, and because she fell in love with a man in the Western Winter Kingdom, she moved the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa to the Western Winter Kingdom for him. Since then, the site of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa has only been known. When Pu Yangjing said this, he first lifted the teapot on the table to get a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "You are right, this is a desert, there is no forest. But the place of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa is a blessed land that invites a wizard to do the law. Therefore there are ten thousand beasts that dwell happily, and all things grow. Except there, all parts of the Western Winter Kingdom are still deserts, and they are bare and very depressed all year round. ”
