Chapter 2 I forgot to bring that
Being able to escape from the palace, Xiang Yantian was really happy. Please use this site. Because in this way, she can gain freedom in the true sense, and she can live the life she wants to live, and live the kind of adventurous life she has longed for. It's nice to be free and live in an exciting adventure every day.
While walking, thinking that she could live that kind of free life in the future, she unconsciously showed a bright and moving smile, which attracted the attention of passers-by on the side.
No matter where she is, there are still very few people who can compare to her in appearance. She has a slender figure, skin like snow, a straight nose, bright black eyes, and a ruddy and slightly upturned small mouth that is slightly raised upwards at this time, which makes her look so radiant.
Wandering through the streets and alleys and alleys along the way, she finally let go of her body and mind completely, and stopped thinking about the things that disgusted and upset her.
The purple figure shuttles through the streets and alleys, with brisk steps, like a fluttering butterfly. Walking over the various stalls, the sound of giggles like silver bells kept coming.
The sunset gradually sank into the western mountains, and when the last rays of light disappeared from the world, the night truly came. However, as the capital of the Daxiang Dynasty, Overlord City will not affect its prosperity just because of the night. On the contrary, when night fell, the streets and alleys of the entire Overlord City were lit up with all kinds of lights, and the entire capital city appeared even more dazzling.
"Lanterns, lanterns, the first 10 customers who visit our store will get a lantern for free!" From a shop full of lanterns, the loud voice of a big man came out.
Lantern? Lantern! Xiang Yantian, who was walking above the night market, suddenly heard the shouting of the big man, and with a trace of curiosity, he trotted all the way to the shop that sold lanterns.
She had seen such things as lanterns in the palace before, and it was during the Shangyuan Festival, that every child would carry the gadget that came out to play. She remembers that she is very happy every year during the Shangyuan Festival, because she loves the lanterns with exquisite structures and beautiful appearances.
"Uncle, can you give me this lantern?" Xiang Yan pointed to a swallow-shaped lantern and asked with a smile.
"Of course, this young lady, you are the first customer to visit our store today!" The big man who sold the lanterns glanced at Xiang Yantian's dress, and immediately showed a warm smile.
"Uncle, you are such a good person!" Xiang Yan showed a smile on her pretty face, and said happily, "I will come back in the future!" ”
Looking at Xiang Yan's departing back, the corners of the big man selling lanterns couldn't help twitching. Through his observation of Xiang Yantian's outfit, and based on his experience over the years, he judged that Xiang Yantian was not a big family or a young lady of an official family. As for the princess, he didn't think about it at all. But he really didn't expect that this young lady who seemed to be from a big family would just take a free gift and run away......
Walking on the bustling streets, Xiang Yantian forgot for a moment how long he had been out. Looking up at the full moon hanging high in the middle of the night sky, she thought it was almost late at night. Because she clearly saw that the stalls and pedestrians on the street were decreasing one after another, and the lights that were still on were being extinguished one by one. She thought that she should also find a place to rest, a girl's family must not sleep on the street. So, after careful selection, she finally found an inn that seemed to suit her appetite. However, just as she was about to go inside, she was surprised to hear the sound of horses' hooves. Quietly hiding in a somewhat dark corner, she poked her little head out and carefully observed the situation outside.
Sure enough, not long after Xiang Yantian had just hid in the corner, a soldier wearing armor and riding a tall horse arrived at the door of the inn, followed by a small group of soldiers who were also wearing armor, but those soldiers were running on the ground. With the arrival of the group of soldiers, a man dressed as a shopkeeper quickly drove out of the inn, constantly nodding at the soldier on a tall horse, and muttering things like "Official, Official" and the like.
"Let me ask you, have you found such a tall girl in purple here?" A deep voice came from the tight armor. As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, "It's about that high." ”
"Official, you must be looking for a young lady from a big family, right?" The man who seemed to be the shopkeeper hunched his waist and said very respectfully, "I think it is rare for a young lady from a large family to run into our little inn in this big night......
"Don't talk nonsense, just answer if you see it!" The soldier on the horse seemed to be annoyed and slammed his spear into the ground in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"I didn't ...... No. The man who looked like the shopkeeper trembled and said tremblingly.
"If you find anything, report it to the Praetorian Guard!" With a shout, the soldier drew his spear stuck in the ground, turned his horse's head and walked away. The group of soldiers also followed the horses, and galloped into the distance with neat steps.
"Huh-" Standing in the corner, Xiang Yan let out a sigh, "It seems that the palace of my escape has already known, and I must hurry up and get out of the city......"
But in the middle of the night, the gates of Overlord City have long been closed, and if you want to get out of the city, you have to wait until dawn. Now she still has to find a place to rest for the night, otherwise she won't be able to get out of the city tomorrow if her physical condition is not good.
Just as she lifted her steps to leave, a hand reached out from the dark corner and gently tugged at the corner of her skirt. When he looked down, he realized that in this gloomy corner there was an old man in ragged clothes, gray hair, and thin skin.
"Miss...... Can you give me something to eat? The ragged old beggar begged with a trembling voice.
Looking at the ragged old beggar in front of him, Xiang Yantian felt sympathy for a while. I saw her squat down, gently hold the old beggar's wrinkled and dusty hand with her white and tender little hands, and show an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, old man, I don't have anything to eat on my body......"
"It's okay." The old beggar smiled kindly.
"Grandpa, wait!" Xiang Yantian seemed to remember something, let go of the old beggar's hand, stood up from the ground suddenly, raised his head and looked around looking for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She found her goal, and there seemed to be a snack stall not far from the corner.
"Grandpa, you wait first, I'll buy you some food, and I'll be back soon!" Xiang Yan smiled at the old beggar, turned around and ran to the stall selling snacks.
Before he arrived at the stall, the aroma of food wafted into Xiang Yantian's nose along the air. Swallowing slightly, she continued to run towards the stall. In fact, she hasn't eaten anything since she left the palace. I used to be happy to play, but I forgot about hunger, but now when I smell the food, I feel hungry.
Looking at the various snacks on the stall, she swallowed hard, and chose some snacks that looked good despite her hunger.
"Hello, miss, a total of thirty-three cents!" Seeing that Xiang Yantian had selected a lot of snacks, the owner of the stall showed a satisfied smile.
Money?! Xiang Yantian's body suddenly became agitated, as if he had been electrocuted. She smiled a little awkwardly, "Haha, that...... I forgot to bring it. ”
