Chapter 39: Misunderstanding
Ling Yueyuan, who was walking east along the long street, gradually left the noisy Fuxiang pawnshop farther and farther behind him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Half an hour ago, the dark and secluded pawnshop was as chilling as the underworld, but at this moment it became a lair of the gods' revelry. The sound of smashing, quarrelling, cheering, and laughter poured out of the store with a loud and unrelenting noise, so that the bronze medal on the lintel seemed to tremble, and almost at any moment it was about to shatter into the street.
Curious passers-by are constantly flocking to this fruit-picking paradise.
And there are far fewer people who come out, but everyone has a smile of excitement and satisfaction. Those who came out before were empty-handed, and those who came later even carried vases, chairs, and curtains...... Threes and threes jumped happily and stepped out of the door, jumping and scattering in the streets and alleys.
"This is retribution!" A man in cloth with a smile on his face, holding a black wooden abacus with copper trim high in his hand, trotted happily past Ling Yueyuan's side, and loudly announced to the heavens, as if what he was holding in his hand was the proof of retribution.
"Ah......" It was rare for someone to pass by this rather quiet East Street, Ling Yueyuan was about to shout out to stop the man who was so happy that he seemed to be flying into the sky, but unexpectedly, the man ran away without a trace as soon as he slipped away.
"Uh......" Ling Yueyuan was very helpless for a while. Looking at the current situation, even if he returned to Zhenxi, he would only encounter a group of stimulant-like foraging beasts, right? At this time, even if they tried to ask Lin Xinyin's whereabouts, could they still understand human speech?
I had to pray that I could meet some normal people in the direction of the east of the town. Ling Yueyuan continued to walk along the street, and when the noise behind him fell silent, he didn't know how long he had walked, and finally two figures appeared in front of him.
Looking at the figures of the two people, they seemed to be running in a hurry. But Ling Yueyuan couldn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he quickly jumped forward and stopped the other party and said, "Have you ever seen a girl......
Before he could finish speaking, he was slammed off his shoulder by the person who was running quickly, and Ling Yueyuan, who was almost knocked over, suddenly "snorted", and when he was about to attack, the two of them had already run away a lot of distance, but they finally answered his question from a distance.
"If you want to find a woman, go to the front to find it, don't stop Lao Tzu from getting rich......"
Ling Yueyuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked closely, and vaguely saw that one of them seemed to be holding an abacus in his hand, which was clearly the man who had just passed away...... Dare to love this person and call friends to continue to go to the pawnshop to pick peaches!
Looking at the hurried figures of the two of them rushing away, afraid that they would not even be able to grab the scraps if they were a little slower, Ling Yueyuan took a sip of disdain, and instead lowered his head to sort out the clothes that had almost been knocked apart.
Just like that, the few coins that had been loosely hidden in his arms fell out of the placket with a clatter, and bounced down the street, and even one of the gold coins rolled forward on the ground, like a small single wheel that had been pushed by someone.
"Ahh Ling Yueyuan, who was very nervous, quickly picked up a few coins scattered on the ground, and hurriedly bent down and lowered his head and ran towards the gold coins that were rolling very happily.
Fortunately, the happy and sad gold coin rolled for less than a moment, and then hit his head on the edge of the threshold of a house, and collapsed to the ground with a crooked body.
"Let you run!" The angry Ling Yueyuan rushed forward like a hungry tiger, and slammed the naughty gold coin with both hands. After a few laughs, his gaze, which had been looking at the ground just now, gradually extended forward, and he saw a pair of red-colored embroidered shoes; When he raised his head curiously, a middle-aged woman wearing heavy makeup appeared in front of him.
It is the Wang Lao Bustard of Nali Chun Yuan.
……
====================
Wang Laobu, who was a little disappointed by yesterday's incident, was still leaning listlessly on the doorpost and yawning, but suddenly saw that there were more figures running towards the town in a hurry on the originally quiet East Street, and he was also curious for a while, so he thought that there would be no business in the afternoon anyway, or he would simply close the count and follow him to the town to see the excitement......
But the thought was still spinning in her mind, and she suddenly felt as if something was bumping headlong on the ground, and when she looked down, she saw that the yellow, orange and orange thing looked like a gold coin...... It's just that her eyes haven't opened yet, but the gold coin has been pounced on by a faster figure, and suddenly her depressed mood has not risen before it instantly falls back to the bottom.
However, she was secretly taken aback when she saw that the man who gradually stood up, and hastily put the gold coins into the dirty old clothes, was a handsome young man; After hearing the other party's curious question, the eyebrows of the two dead fish, which had been lowered since yesterday afternoon, also quietly moved.
"Auntie, have you ever seen a young girl...... She's beautiful...... Well, and a beautiful long hair......" The young man's intermittent expression was not clear and fluent, as if he was trying to recall some details.
Wang Laobu's depressed mood is slowly rising. She has been doing this business in this depressed town for a long time, and she is not very good at judging people by her appearance, but what she usually sees is a rough barbarian second ancestor who is like pig food, and suddenly seeing such a handsome and refreshing young man is simply a miracle once in a thousand years! Although he had a shockingly ugly stitch on his placket, it was not a problem for her, because she valued the connotation of a man; For her, the weight of a man's money bag directly determines the size of his person's connotation. Obviously, this young man has enough "connotation......
What's more, since yesterday I experienced the incident that the pie that fell once in 10,000 years was picked up by others, Wang Laobu, who had learned from the pain, has strengthened his belief in independence and self-reliance. So, under this chaotic reverie and inexplicable persistence, she completely misinterpreted Ling Yueyuan's original intention, and tried her best to pile up a smile like a flower, and asked delicately.
"Is this boy looking for a woman?"
……
"Huh? Also, I am indeed looking for a woman, you ......" Ling Yueyuan, who was still in his memory, was shocked by Wang Laobu's tender question, but he thought about it, he was indeed looking for a woman, but when he wanted to continue to add key details such as Lin Xinyin wearing a peasant girl's costume and possibly riding a horse, his arm was suddenly grabbed by the other party.
"If that's the case, then invite the son to come in and talk about it in detail!" Wang Laobu, who was smiling brightly, grabbed Ling Yueyuan's arm and dragged it into the door one by one, like a she-wolf who had taken the lost little lamb into her nest.
"Huh? No, it's okay outside......" Before Ling Yueyuan could react, he had been dragged half of his body over the threshold by Wang Laobustard.
"Oops...... Look at what Childe said! Wang Laobustard took out a hand and patted Ling Yueyuan's shoulder with a smile, as if in response to the other party's teasing: "The sun is in full bloom outside, people are coming and going, and the light is so bright that you can see a few grasses on the corner of the wall clearly, how can you do it outside?!" ”
“…… Why not? Ling Yueyuan was stupid and couldn't think of this question clearly. He also turned his head left and right to observe this mansion, which seemed to be no different from other private houses, on the contrary, the courtyard was quite exquisite; But before he could look up at the lintel, he was dragged into the vestibule of the door, and he couldn't figure out why this woman was so enthusiastic about him.
"Ahhhhh......h Don't dwell on this anymore! Wang Laobustard's face turned red, and he laughed and scolded in his heart, so he pushed and pulled this guy who didn't talk to him and placed him in the inner room and said: "Anyway, the son will go to the house to rest for a while!" ”
This is said to Ling Yueyuan's heart. He really wanted to rest for a while, and when he was able to enter the inner room, he saw the round pier that was so well arranged, and his eyes lit up; When he saw that there seemed to be a shelf bed behind the screen in front of him, he almost wanted to kick the screen and lie down on the bed for a good night's sleep.
After all, this is someone's house, so he can only sit on the round pier first. Rao also made him feel so comfortable that the sitting posture that wanted to pretend to be more serious also unconsciously relaxed.
"Childe, please drink tea and take a break first, and the slave family will come to ...... when you go" Wang Laobu, who fully implements the family culture, does not hesitate to call himself a "slave family", and after smiling and putting down a bowl of tea on the round table in front of Ling Yueyuan, he happily floated through the door again, like a bird that suddenly became ten years younger.
At this moment, Ling Yueyuan was the only one left in the inner room. He didn't know that the pier under his ass also happened to be where Lin Xinyin had sat yesterday, but seeing that there was no one else to disturb him, he simply bent down and relaxed completely, and at the same time, his eyes began to stare curiously at the gaiwan tea on the table.
This is a covered light blue glazed porcelain tea cup, standing firmly on the saucer-shaped white tea cup, the style is complete, but the color of the tea cup is a little worn, even the tray is also quietly missing a corner in an inconspicuous place, I don't know how many people have used the tea set.
But Ling Yueyuan, who was already a little thirsty at this time, didn't have time to guess whether this strange free tea would be poisonous, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the teacup, but unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched the body of the cup, he was burned by a burning sensation "wow", and quickly retracted his hand.
He had been in close contact with Red Flame for a long time before, and he thought that he had cultivated the ability to be fearless and invincible, but he never thought that Red Flame was just harmless to him; And now the hot body of this small tea cup gave him a sober understanding.
It's just that he really didn't expect this teacup to be so hot, so he recalled the posture of the woman who pretended to be tender before, and vaguely remembered that it seemed to be carrying the teapot under the teacup, so he drew a gourd in the same way. Sure enough, he was able to catch the teacup to his mouth quite smoothly.
"Hmph." Ling Yueyuan smiled victoriously with satisfaction, grabbed the saucer with one hand, and lifted the lid on the teacup with the other, and suddenly a hot breath came to his face, making him frown.
This is actually a hot tea that needs to be tasted slowly, and the green tea soup is reasonably matched with the green glazed tea cup, but the tea is still a little muddy, and the broken and miscellaneous tea powder floats on it in a mess, as if it has not been cleaned for a long time. It seems that the actual function of this tea is to put it on the table and slowly cool down, and then wait for it to be poured out in the corner where I don't know.
But now Ling Yueyuan had a desire to drink even the steaming tea dregs water, and after he took a deep breath, he continued to blow into the mouth until the hot smoke was dispersed, and then simply left the lid that he seemed to be in the way on the table, continued to grasp the saucer with one hand, and poured it into his mouth with the other hand that had cooled down slightly.
After a few sips of tea and a few sips of tea residues, the tea was finally cleaner. So, Ling Yueyuan, who had some leisure time and energy, began to straighten her waist and gently pour the tea into her mouth with grace.
And just when he closed his eyes and wanted to seriously appreciate the essence of tea drinking culture, a delicate and piercing cry suddenly came.
"Childe ~~~~~!"
Ling Yueyuan was suddenly shocked and trembled all over, the hands holding the tea cup trembled, and the tea set that was so shocked that it almost shattered on the table. When he opened his eyes and saw the people pouring into the inner room, it was as if a sweet bloodshot came up, and directly pushed the tea that was about to roll down his throat back into his mouth.
He saw the enthusiastic woman in heavy makeup from before, with four bewitching women of only great age, lined up in the threshold of the room, wrapped in colorful clothes, with a dead smile on her face, scratching her head and throwing flattering eyes and thick rouge powder on her face at him.
"How, Childe! This is the four beauties of Meilan, Zhuju, and Ju, which are the signature of this hospital, and there is the person you are looking for! Wang Laobuar excitedly introduced her magic weapon to Ling Yueyuan, who was stunned with a tea cup, and emphasized it at the end.
"By the way, they all have beautiful long hair!"
Ling Yueyuan listened, and the tea that was originally rolling in his mouth directly spurted out in one go, with a little black tea residue and a little red blood foam sprinkled on the front of his clothes, on the table, and under the chair......
"Ah, be careful, childe!"
The well-trained Mei Lan Zhuju immediately rushed forward in amazement, and Ling Yueyuan, who was so frightened that he threw down the tea cup and jumped off the round pier, instantly surrounded him in clusters, this one took out a towel to wipe his front placket, the one who raised his orchid finger to wipe the tea residue from his lips, and the other one tightly locked his arm, and the last one waited for an opportunity to steal a little pink face.
"Ahh No need...... Ah, that, don't hold me! Wow! Don't touch, don't touch! Ling Yueyuan, who was so frightened that he screamed, hurriedly responded to the enemy attack, but after all, he was outnumbered and fell into the quagmire in an instant. After being so disrespectful to the four aunts that he was red in the face but couldn't move, he finally knew how to ask out loud: "This, what is this place??" Could it be, is it ......?? ”
"Ah, I'm afraid the son is from out of town, right?" Wang Laobushi walked over with his waist twisted and twisted, as if he wanted to join the battle group at any time: "This is naturally a place for Gongzi to relax...... Hey! ”
"No, no, no, no......" Fang knew that Ling Yueyuan, who had entered the ecstasy kiln by mistake, didn't know who made who relax, the chirping and laughter around him made him upset, the poisonous mist-like strong fragrance pierced his head dizzy, and several pairs of thick old hands like octopus whiskers pinched him recklessly, so that he could deal with one or the other, and his scalp was numb, and he only hated why his parents didn't give him a few more hands to slap off those tentacle-like objects that were hairy to him.
But fortunately, his soul is lodged on a male body, and the strength to protect himself is still there after all. So, when the cold and disgust greatly overpowered the shame, Ling Yueyuan, who had endured to the extreme, finally had a big outburst and shouted, "Don't touch me!! After that, he tried his best to push away all the four octopuses of Meilan Zhuju that were entangled with him!
"Wow......" "Ah......" After a few exclamations, as if swept by a strong wind, Meilan Zhuju was overthrown to the ground by Ling Yueyuan, who didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
Then, Ling Yueyuan brushed past the surprised Wang Laobustard with an arrow step, and was about to rush out of the door.
Unexpectedly, the old bustard Wang reacted very quickly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he casually grabbed a place on Ling Yueyuan's clothes, and hurriedly shouted, "Ah...... Childe, don't run~~~"
"Whew!" Ling Yueyuan, who was sprinting, suddenly felt that his belt was pulled by someone, and then his pants were loosened, and he tripped over his toes by the threshold under his unsteady pace, so he leaned to the left, and the whole person fell on a bonsai in front of the door.
Then, there was a chaotic sound of "crackling", Ling Yueyuan fell to the ground with the bonsai in his arms, and even the flower pot was shattered, and the bonsai was smashed into the original appearance.
"Hey, Childe, are you okay?" Wang Laobuar exclaimed in surprise and hurried after him.
Ling Yueyuan, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up, and was about to get up and run away without even caring about tying up his belt, but when he inadvertently glanced at the bonsai corpse on the ground, he was suddenly stunned.
He saw that among the broken branches and leaves of the black clay porcelain and bonsai, there was a plain string pattern ring piercing heart. The small zygote surface was rubbed a little black by the mud, and the round hole in the middle did not see any silk or sweat towels or other things passing through the heart, as if there was a lack of some unforgettable restraints, just like the lonely zygote itself, if it was not discovered by Ling Yueyuan, maybe he would have lived his life in that piece of black soil sludge.
Ling Yueyuan was quite impressed by the appearance of this zygote. He remembered that after that moonlit night in Jiangwan Village, among the various small things that Aunt Wang gave to Lin Xinyin, there was this same style of piercing heart. Suddenly, all kinds of thoughts and memories came to his mind, his heart "poof" jumped violently, and he carefully picked up the zygote with trembling hands, unscrewed it to take a look, and his eyes were instantly covered with mist.
The zygote contains several pieces of tea leaves that are still beautiful in color, and when you count them carefully, it is exactly ten pieces.
Perhaps this is the special Yunwu tea of Najiangwan Village...... When she was still in Qingyuan a few days ago, didn't Lin Xinyin just put the remaining ten tea leaves into this zygote?
Who else would hide these ten tea leaves in the zygote as a souvenir, or even a talisman? Except for her?
Ling Yueyuan closed her eyes, quietly clenched the piercing heart in her hands, and firmly pressed it to the beating position of the heart in her chest; It seems to be re-granting the cold zygote a warm body temperature, and it seems to be feeling the heartbeat of Lin Xinyin that has not faded.
His thoughts seemed to be immersed in the warm ocean of Ling Yueyuan, quietly feeling, reminiscing, and inferring.
It's hers. Suddenly, even if Ling Yueyuan closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to see Lin Xinyin's smile.
She's alive. Then, Ling Yueyuan's anxiety and uneasiness for days disappeared in the breeze.
She's been here. In the end, Ling Yueyuan's mood that had just calmed down like a quiet lake suddenly rolled up, and even his body trembled unconsciously.
Ay......?
She's been here?!
Ling Yueyuan, whose face turned pale in an instant, opened his eyes suddenly, although his left hand was still clenched tightly in the zygote, his right hand hung weakly on the ground.
What is she doing here?! However, whether you come here to do this or that, it's not a good thing! However, she must not have come of her own free will! Was it forced? Or was it deceived?! Won't it ......
Ling Yueyuan, whose head was in a mess for a while, gritted his teeth and missing teeth, and the figure of the Red Flame Whip slowly flashed in his right hand.
And the old bustard, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, came over to probe his brain, and looked curiously at Ling Yueyuan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, his face full of confusion, anger, incomprehension and fear, and asked gossipingly: "Are you okay, childe?" ”
"Something!" Ling Yueyuan suddenly rose to the ground, whipped the ground fiercely with his right hand, and approached Wang Laobustard with the string pattern in his left hand, his eyes were red like the pupils of a beast about to eat people: "Has the owner of this zygote ever been here!" What is she doing here! There it is now! ”
There was a crisp sound of "pop", as if a thunderclap exploded without warning in a sunny day; The four women of Meilan Zhuju had already been frightened into their hearts, and then looked at Ling Yueyuan's vicious appearance of wanting to eat human flesh and skin, and suddenly they were even more frightened, "Wow" After a few exclamations, they ran away without a trace in an instant.
The old bustard Wang was also so frightened that he wanted to run away, but he didn't want to be blocked by Ling Yueyuan on the edge of the round table in the house, and he was frightened, but he had to look at the zygote in the evil hand according to his words, but he didn't know who his owner was, so he had to tell the truth: "Childe is angry, that heart-piercing fit doesn't look like the private belongings of the girls in my courtyard." ”
"Of course it won't be your stuff!" Ling Yueyuan, who was still angry, had a little peace of mind, so he added some other details: "The owner of this zygote should be a very plainly dressed girl...... Well, she's wearing a straight hair, and maybe riding a horse! Is there anyone like this who has ever been here? ”
"Oh...... In this way, there was indeed a beautiful girl in plain clothes who led a horse here yesterday afternoon! Being prompted by Ling Yueyuan, Wang Laobuar immediately remembered Lin Xinyin's figure, and then remembered her shattered dream, and accidentally revealed her regret without concealment: "Oops...... Yesterday afternoon I tried to persuade her to stay, what a pity......"
"What?!" Ling Yueyuan, who was so angry that the seven holes were smoking, opened his eyes sharply, as if he wanted to swallow the old bustard in one gulp: "You, you, you...... You're kidnapping her to be a chicken! How old is she? ”
"No, no, no......" Wang Laobuyuan didn't know what Ling Yueyuan was talking about, but he basically understood the general situation, and hurriedly changed his speech: "I just saw that it was not early, so I persuaded her to stay overnight, maybe she could meet the person she was looking for!" But she refused to do anything, so she went first! That heart-piercing fit must have been inadvertently left here by her......"
Speaking of this, Wang Laobuar looked at Ling Yueyuan in surprise and sighed, "So, are you the lover that girl is looking for?" It's really a match made in heaven! It's a pity, if she did stay here last night, you would have met today! ”
"Uh, I'm not a lover either...... Ling Yueyuan's handsome face immediately turned red, in fact, he also vaguely felt that this Wang Laobustard's description seemed to be full of loopholes, where was the afternoon not early? Why do you insist on staying with her? Can you still predict that the prophet himself will enter this place by mistake! But no matter what, it's like winning the lottery to bump into someone who knows Lin Xinyin's whereabouts, it's really incredible luck! So the tone of his next speech gradually calmed down, and even the Red Flame Whip was quietly put away, and he slightly straightened the loose belt with one hand: "Then tell me all about her yesterday...... Be detailed! Please! ”
"Okay, okay, then please go to the inner room and sit down, let me speak slowly......" Wang Laobu's kind words comforted Ling Yueyuan, who was so eager as if he wanted to pry open his head to dig out the information, and persuaded him to calm him into the inner room, and only after the other party sat down on the round pier again did she slowly tell the story of yesterday.
This is half an hour.
Wang Laobuar is indeed very good at speaking. And she hid behind the door yesterday afternoon and peeked and eavesdropped on Lin Xinyin's whole process from being attacked to being rescued, although she didn't know too many details, but it was enough for her to tell a long footcloth story, but the more she went back, the longer and digression she became, and even from Lin Xinyin's attack to the turbulent times, wicked people in charge, hooligans, and ruffians would emerge endlessly to harm the people; And then there is the fact that the world is not good, business is difficult, and it is difficult to eat, and when it comes to emotion, a few tears are sprinkled in the corners of his eyes, and the thick rouge powder is spilled.
Ling Yueyuan listened to it with relish. There was still a strong emotional factor in his consciousness, and he heard others say that gossip would soon be able to feel the same way, so he let the old bustard wrap the foot cloth around and around happily. When he came to his senses, Fang Zhi seemed to have passed a lot of time, and just as he was about to reluctantly stop the topic, the other party suddenly stood up first.
"Childe's tea is already cold, isn't it? The slave family will first change a new cup of tea for the son, and then talk about it later......" Wang Laobuar wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the tea cup on the table, crossed the threshold and left for a while.
Ling Yueyuan, who had exhaled, saw that there would be no one again, so he also stood up. Hearing that Lin Xinyin was attacked had made him extremely nervous before, but then he heard that someone had come to help him out of the siege, so he was relieved. It's just that the person who helped is said to be a handsome man......?
However, Xinyin won't run away with that handsome man! Ha ha! Ling Yueyuan smirked a few times in her heart, turned around with nine points of joy and one point of worry, and was about to leave, but she remembered the large number of trivial things that the old bustard of the Shicai King told later.
If it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would still be old enough to this leather business? So, after thinking about it again, Ling Yueyuan, who was overflowing with sympathy, took out the gold coin that had just hit the threshold of Lichun Courtyard from his arms, placed it in a prominent position on the table, and then quietly left.
……
====================
"Lalala, lalala, I'm a little connoisseur who sells bags...... Ling Yueyuan, who was walking in the courtyard, was arranging her belt with both hands and humming a song while jumping forward.
After knowing Lin Xinyin's whereabouts, he is in a very good mood now, super good, invincible, getting better and better, and after crossing the threshold of Na Lichun Courtyard, the happy mood is even better.
He heard the birds singing, and the breeze singing; I saw the locust trees dancing and the wildflowers smiling; Looking at the deep sky, the sky is so blue, the white clouds are so pure, and the sun is so round; Looking closely, the long straight street under the bright sun seems to be leading to a bright and brilliant future, the world is so beautiful, full of hopes and dreams: even the two earth dogs standing in the middle of the street mating without distraction seem to be in harmony at this moment; Even the shit-like object lying quietly on the edge of the wall in a daze is particularly beautiful at this time.
Ling Yueyuan, who was smiling and the corners of his mouth were so upturned that he didn't even know it, suddenly saw a girl in an ordinary dress in front of the street, carrying a package on her shoulder, holding a small paper bag in one hand, frowning and far away from the two earth dogs who were happy in the middle of the road, but from time to time she looked around the streets and alleys...... The two bundles of butterfly whiskers in front of the girl's forehead kept shaking, weren't they Ouyang Xiaoling?
"Hey, Little Zero!" Ling Yueyuan, who was smiling, continued to arrange her belt with one hand, and waved it towards Ouyang Xiaoling from a distance with the other. He was in a very good mood right now, so he made an exception and called the other party's name.
……
Ouyang Xiaoling had already changed his outfit at this time. She wore a pink straight-necked cardigan with small sleeves, an eight-folded white satin skirt with eight folded threads, a bow cloud silk ribbon with gold and jade accessories hanging around her waist, and her long hair like a waterfall was still well tied behind her shoulders, but the previous elegant and refined image of a chivalrous woman has now become a plump and slender lady.
It's just that when she followed the sound and looked at Ling Yueyuan, who was still standing under the eaves, she was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, she raised her head to look at the dazzling "Lichun Yuan" signboard above the lintel, and then looked at Ling Yueyuan, who had a very cool expression under the lintel, and watched him smile with his belt as scorching as camellias all over the mountains, and suddenly his face turned red, then white, then green, and finally black like a dark cloud suddenly floating in the sky.
How can there be such a shameless person?
This man had just led a team to ransack the pawnshop in the name of Tianxingdao one moment, and the next moment he was wandering around the kiln by himself, and he kept saying that he was not interested in women...... Is there such a shameless thing in the world?
What do you think is the difference between this thing and the dirt dog that mates casually on the street? Oh no, it's not even a dog! At best, it's that stinky shit lying on the edge of a wall!
Ouyang Xiaoling, who was so angry that her lips were trembling, was still the one who would never tolerate ugly phenomena and had a straight voice, so before she turned around and left, she still condemned loudly.
"Shameless! Visit this place in broad daylight! ”
With that, she turned away without looking back.
Bah! I knew that I would set off for Fuzhou alone, so as not to be polluted by this filthy thing!
……
Ling Yueyuan's smile suddenly froze in the cold wind. Only then did he realize that he was in a situation where he could not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River. In fact, except for Lin Xinyin, he has always cared not much about what others think of him. But even though he could ignore others and call himself a wicked woman, a fool, an idiot, and a stupid man, he alone can't bear to be regarded as a perverted nymphomaniac. Therefore, in order to nip this misunderstanding in the bud on the eve of the spread, and to defend his innocence and reputation, he rushed to Ouyang Xiaoling without hesitation!
"You misunderstood!" Ling Yueyuan stood in front of Ouyang Xiaoling's eyes with a serious expression, but his hands were arranging his belt in a panic. He hadn't had the heart to tighten his belt properly because he was too happy, but now he was flustered and stiff. Beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, but he was still pleading loudly and solemnly: "This is not how things are! ”
"What does it matter to me if things are the way they are?" Ouyang Xiaoling looked at Ling Yueyuan who was hurriedly tightening his belt in front of him in disgust, and really wanted to kick this bastard thing in his way into the sky.
"It's about my reputation, so I have to explain!" Ling Yueyuan, who was a little calmer, tightened his belt fiercely, his expression grim as if it was the eve of some kind of Armageddon at this moment. Once he's gathered his thoughts and cleared his throat, it's time to tell a long, story of ups and downs......
"Oh! Let's hear the explanation! Ouyang Xiaoling looked at Ling Yueyuan with disdain, raised his tone and mocked: "That's right! Don't say that you were dragged in without knowing it, and in the end it was just a chat! ”
Ling Yueyuan was suddenly dumbfounded. His story was stabbed to the end before it even began, what else is there to say? was splashed with such a big basin of cold water by the other party, and he was suddenly like wheat beaten by a storm, and he could only fight powerlessly and in vain: "Whether you believe it or not, things are really like this......"
"However, it's just because of the chat, so it's ......" Ling Yueyuan suddenly remembered the large amount of information he had just inquired about, isn't this the best capital for appealing! It's just that just as he was about to excitedly tell Ouyang Xiaoling these key information, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Ahh......hh Thank you for the reward of a gold! ”
Ling Yueyuan's heart thumped and plunged into the ice cave. He looked back and saw that the old bustard was standing happily under the lintel and greeting him.
……
When the old bustard came back with tea and disappeared Ling Yueyuan's figure, he saw a yellow gold coin on the table, and was immediately moved, thinking that people were so generous, he always had to do some minimum etiquette, so he hurriedly went out of the house, and when he saw Ling Yueyuan still standing on the street, he hurriedly returned a thank you gift.
It's just that when she looked at it closely, she saw the scene of Ling Yueyuan and Ouyang Xiaoling confronting each other, and then she felt that the unusual atmosphere was as heavy as a dark cloud, and even her body seemed to feel a little cold for a while.
She thought about it and thought about it, and decided that it was better not to wade into this troubled water, so she slowly retreated back into the house with that stiff smile, and then slowly closed the door of the house very understandingly.
After a "squeak", outside the closed gate, the long street with only two people and two dogs left, was like a quiet world.
After a while, even the two dogs seemed to feel uncomfortable staying here, so they secretly changed places to continue their errands.
……
Ouyang Xiaoling's face no longer had any expression at this time, and he said in an extremely flat tone: "So I was rewarded with a gold." is so generous, it must be that the soul is sublimated by chatting. ”
Ling Yueyuan's heart was dead at this moment, so he saw through it, but instead became indifferent.
Judging from the current situation, since the result of saying that the sun will set from the west today and the result of Mars hitting the earth tomorrow are the same, then he no longer cares whether the other party believes it or not, but just spreads his left hand holding the heart in front of Ouyang Xiaoling's eyes, and slowly narrates this magical coincidence believe it or not: "Anyway, I entered that place because of a misunderstanding, if I hadn't happened to pick up the zygote left by Xinyin inside, I would have run out a long time ago." Moreover, it just so happened that the proprietress inside knew Xinyin's whereabouts yesterday afternoon, so she talked to her for so long......"
"How did Xinyin get into that kind of place?" Ouyang Xiaoling glanced suspiciously at the door of the house, which was no different from ordinary people's houses, and immediately guessed a reason or two. In fact, she has already figured out what others like to do, when they want to do it, and in what way, what does it have to do with her? Believe it or not? If you can't get used to it, you can bypass it! It's just that she is more curious about the zygote in Ling Yueyuan's hand now, so she still gossiped: "What ...... is in this?" ”
"Ten pieces of Jiangwan cloud tea." Anyway, it wasn't something unsightly to be filled with, so Ling Yueyuan generously opened the zygote to Ouyang Xiaoling, and then took the opportunity to talk about some of the details of yesterday's events that he had heard from Wang Laobu.
Ouyang Xiaoling took a closer look at the opened zygote, and saw that there were really just a few ordinary tea leaves lying inside, not ordinary things such as fragrant powder and beads, and he couldn't help but be even more puzzled: It has always been the man Fang Xi who uses his heart to serve fragrant tea, could it be that this monkey uses his own zygote to fool her? After listening patiently to Ling Yueyuan's chattering narration, she basically knew the ins and outs of the matter, and while she was half-convinced, she couldn't help frowning and counting the careless big-headed shrimp: "Are you stupid or illiterate?" The sign of the Lichun Courtyard is hanging above your head, so you can still enter by mistake? ”
"I ran to that place because I kept my head down and picked up money...... Before he raised his head, he was pulled in......" Ling Yueyuan blushed and whispered: "Moreover, it is precisely because I strayed there that I know Xinyin's whereabouts...... I didn't do anything bad in it, and the gold was only left because I sympathized with them. ”
"Hmph. It's up to you how you want to spend your money, just don't spend it before you meet Xinyin. Ouyang Xiaoling actually looked down on those women who made a living in the Qinglou, but she didn't bother to discuss this topic with Ling Yueyuan, so she turned to analysis and said, "When I was in the west of the town, I had already heard that there were only two entrances and exits in this town. Since Xinyin had passed through here yesterday afternoon, but we hadn't touched her all the way to the town, she had gone east nine out of ten. Now let's go to the east end of the town and find someone to confirm again. ”
"Okay, then let's go quickly......" Ling Yueyuan couldn't wait to leave this place, and when he took a step, he noticed Ouyang Xiaoling's new clothes, and couldn't help but admire: "This dress looks pretty good." ”
"In fact, it's just a relatively clean old dress, and the new clothes are all custom-made with good fabrics, so I really don't have that idle time." Ouyang Xiaoling didn't mention how she picked out this dress that was both clean, well-fitting and elegant, and her face was as calm as water, so indifferent that there was no ripple. Just after finishing speaking, she gently raised her onion fingers and brushed the accessories around her waist, straightened the already tight placket, and finally brushed away the playful green silk that had been rubbing her ears and cheeks.
But Ling Yueyuan had no intention of taking a closer look at these changes. Wang Laobushi just told him that Lin Xinyin was rescued and escaped, but then there was no follow-up, so he was just thinking about rushing to the east exit of the town as soon as possible to see if there were any clues left by Lin Xinyin, so the pace also accelerated a lot unconsciously.
……
====================
To the east of town, at the end of the long street, it was as quiet, depressed and dilapidated as ever.
Ling Yueyuan looked at the empty east exit of the town with disappointment: I didn't even see a cat or a dog, so who should I ask to ask? Frustrated, he couldn't help but raise his foot and kick a small pebble on the road.
With a bang, the pebble hit a cart in front of it, and then the cart staggered and moved, and a person got out of the cart.
"Damn! Who has nothing to do to kick the stones! I almost knocked my uncle! ”
Exactly the same slacker from yesterday. He sat up half-sneering, and raised his hand to touch his forehead with trepidation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Ling Yueyuan looked at the lazy man in surprise, and suddenly had a little hope in his heart: this person actually slept here, maybe he also spent the night here yesterday, so maybe he knew Lin Xinyin's whereabouts! So, he hurriedly rushed forward excitedly: "This big brother, I want to ask a question......
"What's the problem? Say! "The lazy man was just sleeping in the sea of money, and suddenly he was awakened by a flying stone, which would be in a very bad mood.
"Oh, well, did you see a girl on horseback pass by yesterday...... Well, she is dressed in peasant clothes and looks very beautiful...... "Ling Yueyuan's attitude is very gentle.
When the lazy man heard this, his heart jumped suddenly: Money is going to drop from the sky again? Ha ha! Who says it's a pipe dream? Aren't there two more bunnies?
So, after the lazy man snorted, he sat up, stretched out to Ling Yueyuan with one hand, and pretended to be an uncle with the other hand digging his nostrils: "Of course I have seen it!" I've also seen two groups of people on horseback pass by! However, the old rules! The consultation fee starts at 2 silver coins! ”
"What's the old rule?" When Ling Yueyuan heard this person say that he had seen Lin Xinyin, his mood suddenly became urgent, and when he saw him reaching out for money again, he was immediately stunned: Do you want money for this question? Still looking so professional?
"Two dials!" Ouyang Xiaoling, who was next to him, heard this, and quickly came over nervously and asked, "Then, have you seen a man and a woman ......riding by on horseback?"
The lazy man was digging his nostrils, grinning at Ouyang Xiaoling and grinning at Ouyang Xiaoling, while sitting on the ground and raising the price: "I've seen it all!" If you want to know more, you have to pay four silver! ”
"You're too dark, aren't you? It's so expensive to ask for something! Before Ouyang Xiaoling could speak, the angry Ling Yueyuan made a first move: Is it easy to find money, he, pull this one, smoke that one, and if this continues, before he meets Lin Xinyin, won't he really be a poor egg?
"Cut! If you don't have any money, just stand aside, don't block the uncle's sight......" The lazy man who continued to fight with his fingers in his nostrils didn't even shake Ling Yueyuan's glance, his eyes continued to stare at the two silver coins on the wheel, and he continued to think of ways to save them.
In a few moments, a bang rose from the ground!
"Boom!"
The lazy man, immersed in the sea of thoughts, watched unprepared as the wheel was suddenly split in two by a long black object, and then the whole cart fell apart, and the unbalanced himself fell into the pile of rotten wooden planks that were broken into several pieces. When he raised his head to look, he saw that Ling Yueyuan was already holding a pitch-black fierce long whip at some point, and his eyes were approaching him like a killing god!
"Stinky guy!" Ling Yueyuan, whose mood changed from anxious and irritable to furious, grabbed the collar of the lazy man with one hand and lifted him up, and lifted the whip handle upside down with the other hand and pressed the nostrils of the lazy man fiercely: "If you want money, you will have a whip!" Our store's pumping service has just opened today, with a golden signboard and a sincere promise! Draw customers to be cool, and don't charge money if they are not happy! I don't know where the uncle is itchy, and it's not cool there! And oh! Don't you like to pick your nose very much! Wouldn't it be better to dig with this! Isn't it? ”
Ling Yueyuan said as he pushed the whip handle with a diameter longer than the other party's two nostrils combined, and lifted up the lazy man whose nostrils were about to deform, and shouted, "There is something to say, something to say......
After a while, after softening the attitude of the lazy man immediately, Ling Yueyuan violently overturned the other party to the ground, and whipped the ground with a "snap" in his right hand, continuing to maintain a high-pressure posture, and shouted fiercely: "Say!" ”
In this way, he had inadvertently discovered the benefits of the body, even though his subconscious had not yet accepted the fact. When I used to be a girl, I would teach a group of naughty little children and they would throw stones in the ground, but now who dares to mess with him? Whip a few whips before setting your ass on fire!
The lazy man who was half-lying on the ground said with a little indifference: "That girl you are talking about...... I saw that she ran away with a man yesterday afternoon. ”
This sentence was like a cannon that blasted Ling Yueyuan's defenseless heart into scum at close range.
In an instant, Ling Yueyuan, who was stunned, was full of crow-like screams echoing in his head.
She ran away with a man yesterday afternoon.
She ran away with a man yesterday afternoon......
She ran away with a man yesterday afternoon............
"Ahh Ling Yueyuan, who almost collapsed in place, lifted the lazy man up with blood-red eyes, grabbed the whip handle and slammed it into his nostrils: "How could Xiaoyin run away with a man!" How dare you lie to me! I'll stab you to death! ”
"Ahh I was wrong! The lazy man was stabbed by the thick and hard thing, and corrected: "It must be a man who ran away with her!" ”
"You say it again, you say it again!" Ling Yueyuan, who was in a frenzy, gritted her teeth and almost bit the lazy man in front of her on the spot: "Is that girl wearing a long hair!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The lazy man quickly replied.
"Are you wearing very ordinary peasant clothes?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"She's still on a horse! Is there a tuft of yellow hair on the horse's neck? ”
"That's right, that's right, oh, yes, yes!"
"It's about 1.65 meters tall!"
“……?!” The lazy man was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh, probably half a head shorter than me!" Ling Yueyuan changed her words. He remembers that when he first came to this world, it seemed to be about the same, but the difference in height seemed to be accelerating.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The lazy chick nodded like a peck of rice.
"Hmmm! What does the man who walked with her look like! Is it a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a fierce face......" Ling Yueyuan calmed down a little, thinking to herself if Xinyin was coerced to leave? Oh, poor little sound......
"No, it looks like a jade tree in the wind, and it is particularly handsome...... "The lazy man told the truth.
“…… You, you, you tell everything you knew yesterday afternoon, and you can't miss a word......" Ling Yueyuan's eyes glared at the lazy man like murderous, grabbed the other party's shirt with one hand and spoke fiercely. He had heard Wang Laobu's narration in Lichun Courtyard before, and the worry in his heart swelled into nine points at this moment, what was going on...... Who is that man?
The lazy man did not dare to slack off at the moment, so he poured out everything he knew. But he couldn't tell who the man was, in fact, even if he wanted to hide something, he couldn't do anything, because there was also Ouyang Xiaoling who interrogated him, and under the combined questioning of these two, the sweaty lazy man was knocked over the tree by these two imaginary rabbits today.
Ouyang Xiaoling, who had obtained all the necessary information, was worried again at this moment, and said to Ling Yueyuan: "Sister and Xiaoyi have already taken the lead, even Xinyin went to Xinyang Town yesterday afternoon, and everyone went on fast horses...... Even if you want to catch up, you can't do anything about it. ”
"Uh......" Ling Yueyuan was also in a very anxious mood now, but there was nothing he could do for a while, especially when he heard that lazy man say that it would take at least four days to walk to Xinyang Town. If you really go on foot, even if you arrive, the daylily will be cold?
At this time, the lazy man picked up two wheel fragments embedded with silver coins on the ground, and said flatteringly: "You can go to the Zhennan Market to have a look, there are sometimes some trucks going to Xinyang." The problem of rescuing the silver coin, which he had been thinking about for a long time, was suddenly inadvertently solved by Ling Yueyuan's whip, and he was not without gain today, so he sent a piece of information in a good mood.
"Oh!" Ling Yueyuan's frowning brows finally put on a hint of joy, and after hurriedly saying a word to Ouyang Xiaoling, he turned around and left: "Then let's go and see ......."
"Hmm." After Ouyang Xiaoling responded, he followed up with Ling Yueyuan's footsteps.
"Ahh......h I've told you all I know, shouldn't you give me some thanks! "The slacker still wants to ask for a piece of the pie in the end.
Ling Yueyuan stopped when she heard this, looked back and smiled at paraquat: "Then I will give you ten whips, how about it?" ”
The lazy man got goosebumps when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand after retreating: "No need, no need, go all the way, go all the way......" He didn't dare to fantasize about anything else now, but was ready to take the wheel fragment back to the town to find tools and continue to knock on.
Ling Yueyuan "hummed", put away her smile, and continued on her way.
……
====================
About an hour later, on the road from Wuhua Town to Xinyang Town, a roofless ox cart loaded with forage squeaked and ran over the small stones on the road, moving slowly and leisurely.
An old man in front of the car, although he had a long whip in his hand, did not see him swing it; In fact, even if he whipped it, it was useless, and the old cow slowly moved forward with four hooves at a slightly faster speed than the tortoise.
The two people sitting in the back of the car were Ling Yueyuan and Ouyang Xiaoling.
Ling Yueyuan also changed her clothes at this time. The few clothes he picked up at the market in the south of the town were old clothes, but they were much cleaner than the clothes on his body. In order to be in a hurry, he went shopping very quickly this time, picked out a few necessities and put them in a package, and carried them directly on his shoulders like Ouyang Xiaoling.
Most of the space of the ox cart gave way to the hill of hay, so that the two men with the small package on their shoulders could only sit on the edge of the back of the cart, their outstretched legs dangling from the ground, shaking one after the other with the vibration of the ox cart, like two ordinary townsmen riding a hitchhiker.
Ling Yueyuan looked up at the darkening sky, looked down at the car marks that were slowly dragged out by the ox cart under his feet, he was extremely anxious, he wanted this old cow to be able to put on a pair of wings and fly, but now he could only helplessly shout to the chariot driver through the mountain-like forage behind him: "Uncle!" Can you do it faster? ”
"Ouch...... Young man~~~~ What's the hurry! The old voice passed weakly through the hay mountain, as if every word would fall to the ground at any moment: "Hurry...... Rule...... Not up to ......."
Hearing this, Ling Yueyuan also bent down weakly. No matter how anxious he is now, he can only stay up and wait...... Anyway, it's better than breaking your leg yourself, right? What's more, the bazaar in this town doesn't even have to sell horses, some are just donkey-like things, not even ox carts.
Anyway, being idle now is idle, so Ling Yueyuan unwrapped the package and began to sort out the things that had been stuffed with urgency before.
He first took out the dirty old clothes sewn with centipede threads, folded them neatly before putting them in the package, and then carefully folded the other sets of newly bought change of clothes.
"Huh?" Ouyang Xiaoling, who was next to him, was quite surprised: this sloppy monkey would fold his clothes so well!
"Why?" Ling Yueyuan pouted, and without looking back, she put all the folded clothes into the package one after another, and then touched the step in her arms again. The bullock cart was so jolty that it made it uncomfortable for the step in his arms to stab himself, so he took it out and put it in the package.
As for the key coins, they are still in the placket of the garment after being packed in a small bag that is randomly found in the market.
There is also the heart-piercing ...... that Lin Xinyin left behind Ling Yueyuan held it in the palm of his hand with both hands, looked at it and looked at it, but did not make any other movements for a while, as if he was immersed in memories and thoughts. He went crazy just now, but he naturally didn't believe that Xinyin would run away with a man, and he thought that that person might just be a person who helped him, even if he was entangled, Xinyin would not be able to be moved, so he was still very relieved.
"Didn't you wear a silk handkerchief or anything like that in the middle of the zygote?" Ouyang Xiaoling looked at Ling Yueyuan in a daze and asked curiously.
"Huh? No, I don't. Why? Ling Yueyuan came to her senses and recalled carefully, Lin Xinyin really didn't use any silk to put the zygote on.
"Oh...... Most people will use a light silk handkerchief to pass through the zygote, and then tie a knot to close it, such as ......" Ouyang Xiaoling recalled the style of the daughter of Suzhou and Hangzhou and the famous lady, and added: "For example, tie a concentric knot or something...... Just when she said this concentric knot, her face suddenly turned slightly red.
Concentric knots. Ling Yueyuan's heart shook slightly, and after staring at the zygote for a while, he carefully took it into his arms and made a companion with the frightened boudoir.
How about tying a concentric knot with Xinyin when you reunite with it? A bold thought popped up in Ling Yueyuan's heart, and in his reverie, the corners of his mouth inadvertently tilted up to the reddened cheeks.
"Would you like to eat something?" Ouyang Xiaoling, who was next to him, peeled off the oil paper on the small paper bag that had been in his hand for a long time, and picked out one of the only two steamed buns and handed it to Ling Yueyuan: "It's called in the north of the town...... Well, it seems to have been bought from a small shop called Li Youji, and it smelled quite fragrant at the time, but it will be cold. ”
Ouyang Xiaoling's steamed bun was originally intended to compensate Ling Yueyuan for a long time, but later he also thought about throwing it away and feeding it to the dog, and then he felt that it was better not to waste food, and it would be better if it was not dry food. But now I can't eat so much anyway, so let's cheapen this stinky monkey!
"Hmm." Ling Yueyuan, who was still in reverie, took the steamed bun and buried his head in it, and after gnawing off half of the steamed bun, he suddenly remembered to thank others, so he quickly blushed and said, "Ah, oh...... Thanks! ”
"......" Ouyang Xiaoling didn't reply. Her dangling legs swayed forward and backward, her left hand holding the steamed bun was placed on her knee, and her right hand pinched small pieces of steamed bread and sent them gently into her lips, chewing slowly without showing her teeth, and after a while, she suddenly let out a "hee".
“…… What to laugh at? Ling Yueyuan asked puzzled.
"Nothing." Ouyang Xiaoling, who had eaten half a steamed bun, even put down his right hand. She raised her head and closed her eyes gently, feeling the breeze quietly blowing her cheeks, Shaoqing opened her eyes and looked at the light clouds floating in the sky that gradually became golden, recalling that she used to wear a precious light sara skirt in Suzhou and Hangzhou, with a famous blade and a double knife with small fluttershy wings around her waist, riding a horse all the way south to do chivalrous deeds; But now, she was dressed in a dignified and demure lady's dress, and even hung the accessories that were forbidden to walk, and sat on a dilapidated ox cart that was slowly bumping with a small package on her shoulder, just like an ordinary little woman in an ordinary family. If it weren't for the double butterfly wing knife still tied to her waist, maybe even she would start to doubt her identity.
Occasionally, though, it's a lot of fun.
So, Ouyang Xiaoling put his hands between his lower abdomen, let the light breeze wantonly disturb his black silk, slowly relaxed the mood that had been restless, and felt every inch of this quiet and warm time under the afterglow of the sunset.
It's just that after a while, Ouyang Xiaoling suddenly remembered someone. It was a person who was taboo up and down the family as if it had never existed; But she still heard many rumors about the man from various sources.
Because that person is her sister-in-law, her father's youngest sister, the little princess who was praised by everyone in the family as the pearl of the palm twenty years ago, I don't know how many people on the rivers and lakes admire the object, just like the West Lake in Hangzhou that is drunk and tender in the spring breeze in March, even if it is frozen for thousands of years, it will never be erased.
That person was Ouyang Qin.
However, Ouyang Xiaoling couldn't understand why she suddenly remembered this person, just as she still couldn't understand why Ouyang Qin was willing to cut off all the inextricable connections with the world, but just for a cause that was cursed and insulted by the world?
I don't understand.
