Chapter Forty-Six: The Upside-Down Star Tower
"Yes, leave it to me, Sister Huqin. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The woman who called Tuan Tuan hurriedly came out to answer Huqin.
Man Shengsheng smiled and glanced at the group from behind. She thought it was a little funny, thinking to herself that this tuan Tuan didn't look fat at all, how could an adult take such a name. And she also found out, no, long ago, that the team escorting them back was all a group of women.
Let women go to the rain devouring forest to take risks, is this three-legged city short of men?
"Alright, disband! The night patrol will continue to advance, and the rest of the people can go back to rest. β
Hu Qin gave the order one last time, shook off the long hair on his shoulders, and strode towards the staircase that stretched straight upward.
The team dispersed, leaving about 10 people behind, walking towards every avenue and trail in the three-legged city at intervals, perhaps to patrol.
"Alright, let's go too, and the turbot. β
Seeing that they were all doing their jobs, Tuan Tuan turned around and continued his mission, preparing to lead Xiao Ju and them to the Star Tower.
When she turned around, Man Shengsheng completely understood why she was called "Tuan Tuan". The face was too round, so round that she couldn't see the outline of the bones at all, and the lips were thick, like a fish in the sea, but she couldn't remember the exact name.
Later, they followed the taciturn Tuan Tuan and the innocent flounder, through the main bluestone road that was still heavy and sharp in the rain, and at the end of it, after climbing countless stairs, they came to the front of a huge archway.
The torii is hung with lanterns, illuminating the three big characters of "Liuxing Palace" carved on it. Although it is not easy to identify at night, Man Shengsheng can see through at a glance that the material of this archway is completely white marble.
"This is the Liuxing Palace, where the craftsmen of the Three-legged City live, and I am the florist here. β
The flounder introduced the situation here to them with great interest, and was a little proud. Tuan Tuan disagreed with his words, believing that his words were incorrect:
"All craftsmen are inferior pariahs. This is just a place where people of light can no longer be seen waiting for death, and it is impossible for Shirahoshi to live here. Let's go, turbot, it's time for the curfew. β
Tuan Tuan's words were like a splash of cold water, which immediately extinguished the enthusiasm of the flounder. Originally, when he saw Shirahoshi, his eyes were full of excitement, but now they dimmed. He took a deep breath and teased his lips, probably wanting to refute, but in the end, even his voice sank together.
After that, the flounder kept hanging his head until he walked to the "Come to the Star Tower" that Huqin kept chanting in his mouth.
Arriving at the destination, Tuan Tuan asked the flounder to hurry home, he was a little reluctant, but had to say goodbye to Xiao Ju and them:
"You're staying here tonight, and my home is not far away, the place with the most flowers. Goodbye Brother White Star, Sister Red Star, see you tomorrow. β
Man Shengsheng waved goodbye to the turbot, but was obviously absent-minded. She cared very much about Flounder's words, did he just say goodbye in two ways? Say goodbye to herself, but say goodbye to Xiao Ju.
Xiao Ju reached out and touched the head of the flounder and said goodbye to him. Touched by him, the flounder's eyes suddenly glowed again, and she regained her vitality, and ran home happily after saying goodbye to Tuan Tuan.
"This Star Tower is a temporary resting place for the newcomers, you two will stay in it tonight, come with me. β
Tuan Tuan guided them into the Star Tower.
Man Shengsheng scratched her hair, feeling that she was smelly and sticky, and she was still in pain, these were the marks that Yu Yulin branded her. It's like a different world, it's obviously something that happened not long ago, but people can't help but question it. Is this what is called a peak-loop turn? It's inexplicable.
Laixing Tower is a wooden building, and the architectural style is still very strange. As soon as you enter the compound, there is a circular lotus pond in the middle of the courtyard, and the water lilies are quietly blooming at night. On the opposite side of the pool is the main building of the Star Tower, but it is ......
This building is actually in the shape of an inverted pyramid, supported by several large pillars below. The further upstairs you go, the bigger it gets, like a chicken leg, like a behemoth monster like firewood, break the pillar with one hand, and you can gnaw it directly!
Man Shengsheng didn't know what he was humor about, and probably realized that he had really escaped death.
"It's just the two of you staying here tonight, I'll take you to your room first. β
Tuan Tuan led them into the interior of the building through a super large spiral staircase directly below the building, in the middle of the four pillars. As it turned out, the spiral staircase led to a variety of rooms, each with a different dΓ©cor and tone.
"This is the room for the two of them, to the left of the red star and to the right of the white star. There is still half an hour to go, and it will be time for the curfew, when all the lanterns will be extinguished. You two should hurry up and take a bath in the lotus pond in the courtyard after recognizing the room, otherwise it will be dark after the curfew, and you won't see anything.
Especially your red star, you are contaminated with the water of the rain devouring forest, if you don't wash it off quickly, your skin will festered further. You see your face has ......"
"We know, we'll go down right away. β
Xiao Ju interrupted Tuan Tuan's words. Man Shengsheng touched his face and asked strangely, "What is my face?"
Tuan Tuan glanced at Xiao Ju, and was asked not to say anything by Xiao Ju's eyes. She immediately sloppy and said:
"Uh...... Already...... I'm sleepy, so let's wash off the rain and go to bed. β
"Oh, but I'm not sleepy at all. β
Xiao Ju glanced at her speechlessly, and walked into the room first:
"Then you come back when I'm done washing, I'm sleepy. β
What the?
Man Shengsheng didn't want to give up that pool of clear water to Xiao Ju, and he also broke into her room with a smoke.
This room is also too old-fashioned, with a gauze tent, a wooden bed, and a large screen painted with carp. Man Shengsheng thinks this room is not bad, no, super good, very in line with her aesthetics.
What is behind the screen, will it be a tea table or a chess table?
She spared the past with interest, but was stopped loudly by Tuan Tuan:
"Red Star be careful!"
"Ouch mom!"
Man Shengsheng almost had his feet empty, but fortunately Tuan Tuan shouted in time, otherwise he would have fallen!
She cautiously poked her head out, only to realize that behind the screen was a cliff, and she could see the lotus pond when she looked down. Not only this one, but she found that all the rooms have only entrance doors, but no back walls, is it possible to create the feeling of floor-to-ceiling windows?
Xiao Ju also discovered the mystery behind the screen, poked his head out, and happened to see Man Shengsheng's head. They looked at each other across the wall, like neighbors greeting each other on a balcony:
"Hehe, I almost fell off just now. Man Shengsheng said.
ββ¦β¦ Bathe. Xiao Ju retracted his head.
"Hurry up and wash it, I'll go get you some food and a change of clothes. β
Tuan Tuan turned around and was about to go downstairs, Man Shengsheng suddenly became happy, and felt that it was like a vacation in the ancient city. Living in a quaint house, not to mention, there is a supper to eat after bathing. But......
She suddenly realized something and immediately called out to Tuan Tuan:
"Tuansang, won't it be exposed to taking a bath in the yard?"
Tuan Tuan turned around with a puzzled expression, and asked with a round face facing her puzzled:
"Is Tuansang calling me?"
