Chapter 33: A Pleasant Day (6)
After saying goodbye to the wonton shop, the grapes and durians did not return, so she took the pears and plums and continued to wander towards the west end of the street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pear and Plum were strange, and couldn't help but ask her, "Miss, why don't we go to the east?"
She smiled and didn't answer.
In this main city, the royal palace is at the far east. The central avenue stretches from here, and the eastern part is the area of the eunuchs and the status, in short, the area of the successful people, and the shops along the street are naturally numerous, and it is the most prosperous and lively area. For example, Dr. Zhang's medical hall and the Lu couple's wonton shop are on the east and west borders, although they are mixed, but the people who can come here to consume will not be too poor. Further west, you can gradually see the houses gradually changing from rustic to simple. Of course, there are very few shops, and most of the people who sell things are hawkers along the street. Occasionally, shops also sell firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Therefore, the pedestrians on the western section of the street are not as dense as those on the eastern side. Speaking of which, the poor are industrious, and they don't have this kind of pastime to wander the streets when they are full of food and have nothing to do. And if the rich and noble families in the east want to hang out, there is nothing to attract them to come to the west.
She enjoyed walking on the quiet and rustic streets. Not to buy things, just leisurely pacing, left and right look, these are mostly one person high, at most a two-storey, people in order to live, she looks different from the modern rural house, the real ancient house, although simple, but has a simple charm. Every family and every household also tried their best to take care of their small home, and as far as the eye could see, this declining street section was actually very clean and tidy.
After walking for a while, the farther away from the east, the crowd gradually thinned out, and the bustling cries gradually subsided. The novelty at the beginning passed, and the slower her steps became, but her mind felt broader, and her whole body and mind were immersed in a peaceful and distant atmosphere.
Meizi called her again, leaned behind her a little timidly, and whispered, "Miss, let's go back to the east." Over here...... Miss, you don't seem very safe here. ”
Of course she noticed. Xu is the family of the three girls, the pears and plums are nothing, the clothes are better, but they are just the dress of ordinary maids, and the essence is that the babies from poor families will be sold to big families as slaves. Not to mention the luxurious silk clothes she walked in front of, this body is not ordinary, at first glance, she is a young lady from a large family, but it is too conspicuous. Especially with the bulging pockets around her waist, there must have been a lot of silver in that brocade bag. Along the way, people in the neighborhood inevitably looked at them a few more times. She kept a smile on her lips, and occasionally made eye contact with someone, and nodded at someone with a smile. Most of the other parties smiled back at her kindly and shyly. As for some ill-intentioned gaze lingering on her waist, as soon as she looked at the men, they dodged their gazes. OK. She was also cautious, although she wanted to enjoy more in this area, but she did not recklessly go to the remote alleys. They have been walking on the central avenue, so many pairs of eyes watching, and no one dares to come up blatantly to make trouble.
After all, she looks at it as the identity of either rich or noble, unless she has the ability to make the three of them disappear forever, if she just robs them of their silver, if she looks back, those Xiaoxiao are idle and domineering all day long, and the neighbors bully the good and fear the evil, but when they get to the east, they don't dare to provoke her. She is also fearless.
Do you really have no fear?
She really overestimated the small snacks on the streets. They really don't weigh whether their idle days will come to an end, and they are only greedy for immediate profits. She noticed that the first young man in his twenties, who had been caught by her, seemed to be frightened by her gaze and burrowed into the alley. After a while, the young man made a detour and appeared not far ahead, and there were three or five more men beside him who were also thieves. One of them was in his thirties and forties, better dressed, and obese. The rest of the stunned young men in their early twenties seemed to take him as their head. I guess the young man who came first found some kind of snake-like figure. Looking at the opposite side, there were not only these three or five people, but also more than a dozen sub-stations and alleys, all looking straight at the more than 30 men, and the two sides frequently exchanged glances. There were many of them at this time, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and they just waited for them to go to a more secluded section of the road.
It's not just these people who come in groups. Originally, most of the old and weak women and children of some families on the roadside avoided like locusts after seeing these people coming, and hid in their own houses. Without those eyes, it's not going to be good.
She noticed it, and the plums and pears, who were already protective of the Lord, naturally also noticed it. At this moment, not only the timid Meizi, but even the pear was a little scared, pulled her sleeve, and whispered: "Miss, let's go." ”
She frowned, and actually glared at the thirty or forty-year-old man fiercely, which made the man stunned, and even more flinched, and was coldly frightened by her sharp gaze. What she hated the most was that the man's narrow gray eyes looked straight at the pears and plums, and occasionally smiled disgustingly and licked his lips with his yellow teeth, and he didn't have to think about it to know what kind of dirty thoughts he was all about.
Pear and Plum were stunned and looked at her like ghosts. I really don't know what my young lady thinks in her head, she actually shook off the pear's hand, although she didn't move forward, but she actually stood still and didn't move, and even more ...... And that...... Pear and Plum were stared at by the man, and the adjective "obscene" came to mind. The young lady actually glared at the lewd man fiercely, as if she was provoking. I don't know where the confidence of the young lady comes from. There were only three of them who were powerless girls, and the other party was fifteen or sixteen...... Seventeen or Eighteen ...... The ordinary people on the side of the street retreated, and more uneasy and kind men in their eyes stood out. Pear and Plum glanced at each other and said in their hearts: I'm going to die!
Forced to press the urge to run with trembling legs, the young lady did not move, and the two maids had to protect her sides as if they were facing a great enemy. It's just that they are scared to death at first glance, like the eyes and posture of a deer meeting a tiger but pretending to be calm, not only did not benefit, but it made the momentum of their young lady also weakened a little.
The man on the other side was still stunned by her, and almost retreated, but at this moment, his eyes and rats turned around, his body was straightened, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he looked at them more bluntly and without kindness. Forgive her for being sharp, the man only looked at the two maids' unconfident appearance, and decided that she was just bluffing. The man saw that everyone nearby also had the foresight to consciously avoid it, and became even more unscrupulous, laughing disgustingly, rubbing his hands, his eyes swirling around her waist and the two maids, and took the lead in taking a step forward. The men who were waiting at both ends began to approach them.
