Chapter 5 Bad Luck
The town under the sunset is quiet and peaceful, with a little laziness, like a kitten in a nap. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The town is small and there are very few outsiders. Occasional passers-by are mostly travelers who go to Spring City, just because the distance is far away, and they stay in the town for a night.
There is too little flow of people, so there is only one inn in the whole town, called Mashui Inn.
Another boring afternoon.
The listless shopkeeper Wang was lying on the front desk in the inn hall, his eyes emptyly glancing at the sunset outside the window that once again dyed the sky red.
What a beautiful sunset! It's a pity that year after year, day after day, the repetition has long turned bird's nest shark fin into plain water. The view of the sun setting was the only thing that the shopkeeper had to remind him that it was almost time for dinner, and then if he had nothing to do, he had to go to bed.
The bored shopkeeper of the king, wielding a fly swatter in his right hand, drove away these nasty ghosts flying around, trying to have some fun.
Hey! This damn guy is not small! This will not flatten you, I will pronounce the surname upside down!
The shopkeeper finally came to his senses, chuckled, and slowly pressed the beat towards the prey that was staying on the table.
There are also a few tables and stools scattered around the hall for people to eat.
But at this time, there were only a few idlers in the hall, and they were so bored that they fell asleep on the table, and they didn't order a few dishes to take care of other people's business.
Just as the shopkeeper was fighting with the flies, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves outside.
Got a guest? Shopkeeper Wang's spirit was shocked, and his nerves immediately became active, staring at the door, and shouting to Xiao Er, who was napping next to him: "Xiao Chen, go out and guide the guests to the horse." ”
"Hey." Xiao Chen looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and walked out slowly.
Shopkeeper Wang looked straight and shook his head: This kid is getting lazier and lazier.
After a while, Xiao Chen re-entered the house, but his face was full of surprise, his eyes and mouth were wide open, and he turned back three times one step at a time, looking back at the door from time to time.
"Guest...... Guest, please ...... inside Please. "I couldn't even speak well, and it became a big stammer.
Shopkeeper Wang frowned and sighed: This kid, it's just lazy, but he's still stupid?
The idlers in the shop, kicked away by the sound of horses' hooves, were sleepy-eyed and stared curiously at the door.
The two figures entered the inn.
Wow! Everyone's eyes lit up!
A beautiful girl, next to a handsome young man, is walking lightly.
The young man's eyes were a little tired, mixed with a little confusion, and seemed to hide a little sadness.
The girl's eyes were as clear as water, and her expression seemed to be very calm, but she couldn't hide a trace of nervousness that quietly overflowed.
Each carried a rather shabby package; The clothes on his body are also the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people; But Rao is like this, the dreamlike elegance and agility of the two can't be covered up at all.
Although people rely on clothing, no matter how decorated the stone is, it is still a stone, and no matter how dirty the pearl is, it is still a pearl.
These two people are a pair of dazzling pearls, shining in this dark night-like deserted village and remote town, which makes people reluctant to look away.
She is the star and he is the moon. The stars and the moon are against each other, and the vault is no longer dark.
Everyone sighed, what a pair of envious mandarin ducks!
The shopkeeper was amazed. The women I usually come into contact with are either yellow-faced women or black-faced women; The men are mostly rough men and wild men; The surprise appearance of a pair of beautiful people who only respond to the sky this time is really an eye-opener.
The hall of the inn was originally occupied by a large group of big men, so all eyes quickly focused on the girl.
The girl's face was not decorated with half of the rouge powder, and her long black hair, which was as smooth as satin, was simply tied with a string and draped behind her head; But the bright eyes and bright teeth, the appearance of the flowers and the moon, simple and unpretentious, straight like the snow lotus on the top of the Tianshan Mountains that does not stick to the snow lotus of the world, which makes people envious.
The girl seemed to feel the burning gaze of everyone, and the nervousness in her eyes became even worse, and she became a little hesitant to walk, and her steps were as thin as a frightened fawn, and she walked with a little shyness; Two blush smeared on her jade cheeks, and for a moment it seemed that the sunset on the horizon had secretly drilled into her pretty face.
The young man on the side seemed to feel the gradually warming air, and his eyes were tightly opened, shooting in all directions, glaring angrily to drive away the wolf.
What to watch? What to see!
As soon as everyone bumped into that compelling gaze, they suddenly sobered up a little, so they turned their heads to look at the sunset; Some continue to pretend to be asleep; There are those who count the flies; They no longer stare at the girl, but they sneak up on it from time to time.
Without the pressure of focusing, the girl exhaled lightly and walked slowly to the counter with the boy.
"Boss, how much does it cost to open a room?" The girl hesitated for a moment, and spoke a little timidly.
The girl's voice is so gentle and soft, and the straight teaching is like a spring breeze. The shopkeeper was actually a little drunk.
"Boss?" Seeing that the shopkeeper did not react, the girl shouted again.
"Oh, oh......" replied to the king's shopkeeper, who finally woke up from his dream, "a silver coin for one night." ”
When the girl heard this, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then, her willow eyebrows were deeply locked, and her jade-like teeth bit her vermilion cherry lips, and her hesitant look made people feel more pity.
After a long time, the girl whispered softly in a mosquito-like voice, "Is there anything cheaper...... Small room is good. ”
The shopkeeper Wang was stunned. The price was actually cheap enough, and after thinking about it, he said, "Yes." There is a small room, only half a silver coin a night. ”
In fact, the rooms at the Mashui Inn are all the same.
After hearing this, the girl exhaled, smiled, and said, "Then let's open a small room, thank you." After speaking, he took out the money bag with his left hand, and carefully counted fifty copper coins with his right fingers, and gently placed them on the table.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and took the copper coin, and without counting it, he threw it into the cash cabinet.
The girl's warm laughter floated over one after another, and the shopkeeper Wang seemed to feel that his soul had been edified for a while, and he couldn't help but think secretly: Such a little girl should laugh, then it is beautiful......
After a pause, the girl asked again, "Boss, is there anything to eat here?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang took a menu and handed it over.
The girl browsed the menu, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, read it several times, frowned again, hesitated for a while, and said, "I want a bowl of barbecued pork noodles...... And a bowl of somen noodles, I'll send it to the room later, thank you. ”
After paying the bill, the girl gently held the young man, slowly went up to the second floor of the inn, and entered the open room.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at these two handsome young figures, sighed, and shook his head again.
I don't know if it's the fairy companion of that family, but it's so difficult.
……
====================
The rooms of the inn are very simple in decoration.
A small shop in the countryside.
Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan sat facing each other, separated by a small table that was so old that it was scum.
Lin Xinyin quietly looked at Ling Yueyuan, who was eating barbecued pork noodles, with a smile on her face.
However, she was a little worried in her heart: if she didn't want to make some money, she would have a financial crisis......
"Xiaoyin." Ling Yueyuan suddenly raised her head and smiled softly, "Close your eyes." ”
"Why?" Lin Xinyin was stunned.
"Close your eyes." The smile in Ling Yueyuan's eyes was even worse.
"Well......" Lin Xinyin did what she said, but muttered in her heart: What tricks does this guy want to play?
"Open your mouth wide."
"Ah...... Well...... Uh" Lin Xinyin just opened her lips, and suddenly she was stuffed with a piece of softness, and her teeth subconsciously bitten, it turned out to be barbecued pork.
"Is it delicious?"
Lin Xinyin opened her eyes and saw Ling Yueyuan, who was smiling, looking like she had succeeded in her conspiracy; Laughed too.
"It's delicious, better than the one near our house." Lin Xinyin chewed carefully while reminiscing.
"Really? Then a few more pieces. Ling Yueyuan smiled again and raised her chopsticks.
Wow! It's a big lump of char siu.
Lin Xinyin's head drifted back a little, frowned slightly and said, "You want to kill me." ”
"Hey! You deserve it. Ling Yueyuan sandwiched the barbecued pork into Lin Xinyin's bowl and chuckled: "Why don't you call it two bowls of barbecued pork, how unpalatable the noodles are." ”
"If you can save it...... Lin Xinyin shook her head lightly and said, "Don't just clip it to me, you can eat it too." ”
"No, I'm losing weight." Ling Yueyuan said with a smile.
"Huh?" Lin Xinyin couldn't help but mock and said, "I remember that every time I go to Liangmian Xuan, you will rob me of meat to eat." ”
"Humph!" Ling Yueyuan countered: "You are not the same as a carnivore, when did you change your career to a vegetarian?" ”
"Hehe, from now on." Lin Xinyin chuckled in response.
"Okay, that's what you said, I'll grab it once I see you eating meat in the future." Ling Yueyuan said ruthlessly, and as soon as the chopsticks moved, he really grabbed the meat.
Lin Xinyin just chuckled and said nothing.
I still have a few pieces of meat left in my bowl. Ling Yueyuan didn't move.
The two fought for a while, and finally, the two bowls bottomed out.
"We don't have any tissues here." Ling Yueyuan licked her greasy lips and said dissatisfied.
"I'm afraid this thing hasn't been invented yet, huh." Lin Xinyin turned around with a smile, reached out and took out a handkerchief from the package, and handed it to Ling Yueyuan.
Ling Yueyuan rubbed violently, and the snow-white handkerchief turned into an oil rag in the blink of an eye.
It's not easy to wash...... Lin Xinyin was a little worried, thinking: How good would it be if there was a time shuttle? Go home and bring a box of daily necessities.
But if you really have that thing, just go home! A sucker!
Ling Yueyuan looked at Lin Xinyin for a while and frowned for a while, and smiled for a while, and said strangely: "Stupid? ”
"Uh-huh." Lin Xinyin finally returned to reality from the fantasy world, looked at Ling Yueyuan and said, "Xiaoyuan, let's go out for a walk later?" ”
"yes, okay." Ling Yueyuan came to the spirit.
It's good to go out for a walk, see new things, and relax.
Lin Xinyin got up first and packed her luggage, and then hid her wallet tightly in her arms.
Baby, you can't make a mistake, if you want to lose it, you have to ask for food.
Alright, you're ready to go! Press the road to go. However, there are only dirt roads in this town.
……
====================
In the evening, the town market is a little depressed and there are few people.
And now the bazaar is a little quieter than usual.
Everyone stopped, staring at the gently moving landscape.
……
Lin Xinyin was a little annoyed and worried.
It was she who proposed to go shopping, and she wanted to soothe her mood, but it was ......
Lin Xinyin turned her head to look at the side: Ling Yueyuan, who was already smiling, was as happy as a little monkey, bouncing and jumping; It seems that the goal has been achieved, and great. But......
The stares around him were so hot that they made themselves numb.
According to Ling Yueyuan, when they are radish heads, they can ignore them, although they walk with their heads held high.
But where are there such heat-emitting radish heads? It's almost scorching!
Lin Xinyin wanted to turn around and run away.
……
After a moment of silence in the bazaar, there was a commotion again, and the vendors began to try to attract business.
"That girl over there, come and buy some powder! Produced by Spring City Aromatic House, quality guaranteed! ”
"Little sister, come and see this satin! How silky! ”
"The fairy! Check it out here! This is the Pearl of the South China Sea! Absolutely genuine! Just two gold coins! ”
Lin Xinyin shook her head: If I have money, I might as well buy a few more steamed buns. And I haven't seen what the gold coin looks like.
"Hey! That young man! Come and buy a bouquet of flowers for your little one! ”
Lin Xinyin almost fell when she heard this, and her face suddenly turned red.
Ling Yueyuan laughed out loud when she heard this, and threw a wink at Lin Xinyin again.
Lin Xinyin really couldn't stand it, and pulled Ling Yueyuan and wanted to leave, but who knew that Ling Yueyuan had been aroused by her shopping addiction, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Cold, I forgot that Ling Yueyuan was a shopping maniac.
To Ling Yueyuan's surprise, the people in this bazaar actually didn't bargain! One point is one point, and a little less will not work, and it will make him useless as a hero.
Pedantic! Ling Yueyuan was annoyed: Look at me so handsome, but they don't give face! Excessively!
Lin Xinyin had another thought: No matter how handsome you are, how handsome are you? Of course, it's just thinking in your heart, not words......
Ling Yueyuan was furious, suddenly lost her mind, and began to take Lin Xinyin's wallet out of anger.
Random buying: porcelain dolls, umbrellas, fans......
Lin Xinyin is cold, it hasn't gotten hot yet, buy a fan and pretend to be elegant!
Seeing that the small treasury was about to be emptied, Lin Xinyin hurriedly dragged Ling Yueyuan away from the market.
……
Lin Xinyin took Ling Yueyuan, who was still indignant, and turned into a small alley.
After walking for a while, I suddenly felt a little restless, as if I smelled danger. Lin Xinyin looked back and found that there seemed to be two figures behind her.
"Xiaoyuan, someone is following us behind." Lin Xinyin touched her arms, and the knife was still there.
"Huh?" Ling Yueyuan looked back, and sure enough, there were two figures, secretly approaching.
Ling Yueyuan frowned, but suddenly smiled again, and said, "Xiaoyin, are we short of money to spend?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Xinyin was stunned. What do you mean?
"I've got a way." Ling Yueyuan pulled Lin Xinyin to stop.
The two figures approached, two men, and they also stopped.
The four of them looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while.
Lin Xinyin held the knife a little nervously.
After a while, one of the men stepped forward, as if to speak.
Ling Yueyuan was the first to grab people and shouted out first!
"Stinky rascal!"
What?! The other three people present were all stunned.
The man who stood up was stunned for a while, and said, "I ......"
"Perverted! Pervert! Sneaky, stalking other girls, what do you want to do! Ling Yueyuan didn't give the other party a chance at all, and scolded fiercely.
"You ......" The man was anxious, and just wanted to argue, but saw Ling Yueyuan's pupils suddenly change color.
"MONOCULUS. Dementors-! ”
"Ahh Ling Yueyuan suddenly used the pupil technique, and the two men were defenseless and immediately attacked.
Ling Yueyuan smiled and said, "Hand over all the valuable things on you." ”
"Yes......" The two accused puppets began to dig things for Ling Yueyuan.
Ling Yueyuan smiled and took them one by one.
Lin Xinyin was stunned next to her: robbery? Robbery! But, alas...... Murder has been done, what is robbery? And the other party looks like a bad guy, grab it! The right should be used to subsidize the family.
-Purse. Ling Yueyuan took it happily: Great, what is most lacking is this, hehe!
-Flint. Ling Yueyuan frowned, this ...... Anyway, it should be useful, reluctantly.
-Tobacco. Ling Yueyuan was annoyed, what are you doing with me! I can't smoke again!
- Pen and paper. Ling Yueyuan was furious, this is also a valuable thing? It's only two! Just write a pig on it and stick it on the door of your heads!
-Sash. Ling Yueyuan was stunned and stunned. What......?
Sash? Sash?!
Ling Yueyuan looked up in confusion and looked forward, shocked.
Perverted! Two big men, playing a strip show on the street!
"You guys! You guys! Stop! Stop! Ling Yueyuan panicked, and Jun's face began to turn red: Hooligans! These two are absolute hooligans! So he hurriedly changed the order: "You guys! Turn around! Face the wall! Hit your head against the wall fifty times each! One, two, three, go! ”
Ling Yueyuan left quickly with Lin Xinyin, and the sound of the human flesh knocking on the wall machine behind her gradually faded away.
After running for a while, Ling Yueyuan found that he was still holding two broken belts, so he threw them into the gutter.
Lin Xinyin thought about it on the road for a while, and finally figured it out: That, clothes, are indeed valuable things, right?
There are still some questions. Lin Xinyin thought for a while and asked.
"Xiao Yuan, is your current pupil technique easy to activate?"
"Yes, it's just anytime, anywhere, whatever you want!"
"That'...... What about after use? Is there any discomfort in your body? ”
"A little, but not as intense as it used to be."
"Well, that's better ......"
……
The two flashed into the inn's room, closed the door, and nervously began to inspect the stolen goods.
Ling Yueyuan trembled his hands, opened the purse he had snatched, and began to pour money with his mouth down.
Ding-dong, ding-dong......
Counted, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven copper coins.
……
Count again, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Or seven copper coins.
……
I touched the coin, looked at it, and bit it again, it should be copper.
……
Don't give up, take out your own copper coins and compare them. That's right, it's copper!
Dizzy! Ling Yueyuan and Lin Xinyin were disappointed.
Robbed two poor ghosts!
……
====================
In Mashui Town, it has been the third day in the blink of an eye.
Those two men, who never appeared again, didn't seem to be locals. Otherwise, such a small town should run into it.
Although the dangerous aura seemed to be gone, Lin Xinyin still felt uneasy, and after thinking about it, it was better to leave Mashui Town.
Spring City! Yes, to Spring City. Spring City is a medium-sized city, so it's okay to find some work there to do and wash dishes.
Wallets are getting flattened......
After making up her mind, Lin Xinyin persuaded Ling Yueyuan and decided to leave after breakfast.
Spring City is quite far from Mashui Town, and it takes eight hours to ride a horse.
……
On the beach early, I found a table and sat down, and asked for two bowls of soy milk and two eggs, only three copper coins.
Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan ate slowly, a little depressed.
Mainly because the seven aunts and eight aunts next to them are gossiping, and the twitter is particularly annoying.
"The sow of the second family of Wang Erjia has given birth."
"Niu San's chickens suddenly died last night."
"The cattle of the Zhao Si family rolled into the ravine the day before yesterday."
"The night before yesterday, when the girl of Ding Wujia was walking down the alley alone, she bumped into two hooligans lying on the ground without clothes, and she was stupid!"
"Haha, big news! The night pearl treasured by the rich man Lu in Spring City was stolen! ”
"Last night, the two of the Song Liu's family had a fight, and it made a lot of trouble, haha!"
"Yo, look at the two of them, how sweet and delicious the days are, big fish and meat all day long, haha!"
Hearing this, Ling Yueyuan was very angry, and wanted to go over and overturn their table.
However, the sparrows in my ears are still endless.
"Do you know, this morning, Uncle Le saw a girl walking with a horse, and he was stunned on the spot!"
"What's going on? What's going on? ”
"That girl, she was born so beautiful! It's like a fairy! ”
"Yo? How beautiful is it? How does it compare to the little girl sitting at the table across from us? ”
"Well, Chunlan Qiuju, each has its own strengths! Tut-tut......"
Lin Xinyin couldn't stand it when she heard it, so she pulled up Ling Yueyuan and left.
The two returned to the inn, packed their luggage, went downstairs to settle the bill, and went out the door and went straight to the stables.
As soon as they arrived at the stable, both of them were stupid.
Xiao Huang, gone!
Nine out of nine people stole it.
……
====================
Lin Xinyin and Ling Yueyuan walked down the street in a daze, their faces full of depression.
It's depressing. That's so depressing. It's quite depressing!
The owner of the inn has compensated himself several times and is sorry, which makes him a little embarrassed. However, without a horse, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk to Spring City for a day. How is it good? Lin Xinyin's brows furrowed, annoyed......
Ling Yueyuan was in a very bad mood and was angry.
Unlucky! Bad luck. Look at this bad luck! I'm afraid I'll step on dog shit when I walk!
Ling Yueyuan walked a few steps angrily, and suddenly noticed that his right shoe was weak.
Looking down, furious.
Really stepped on shit?!
This, what kind of world is this? Don't let people live!
Ling Yueyuan was simply mad, took off his right shoe with his right hand, ran forward a few steps with his hand, threw it towards the sun on the horizon, and roared again.
"The sun! You're a big idiot!! ”
The right shoe arced through the air and landed in a man's house.
"Bang", I don't know what was smashed.
Ling Yueyuan huffed, walked to the side of the road, sat down, crossed his hands on his knees, and did not move.
After staying for a while, Lin Xinyin sighed, walked over, and helped Ling Yueyuan up.
"What are you doing?" Ling Yueyuan hadn't lost his breath yet.
"Go buy a pair of shoes." Lin Xinyin replied softly.
Alas...... Another untold cash outflow......
"Hmm......" Ling Yueyuan lowered her head and followed quietly.
After walking for a while, Ling Yueyuan felt very uncomfortable walking with one foot on his shoes, so he even took off his left shoe, and casually looked at a certain place, and threw it out fiercely.
The left shoe was thrown along the parabola into the courtyard of another family.
"Oops!" A miserable scream.
Lin Xinyin saw that it was not good, and dragged Ling Yueyuan to flee the scene quickly.
To spend another amount of medical expenses, Lin Xinyin had no choice but to sell herself.
