Chapter 12: First Arrival in the Western Regions
"Actually, it's the first time I've been to the Western Regions." On the way, Hua Jiu turned his head and said to Erniu. "The master asked me to go to Yucheng'an, Yucheng'an, you know, the famous pianist."
The second girl nodded, squeaked and gestured with her hand for a while, and finally gave a thumbs up, which means that he is very powerful.
Hua Jiu smiled and said, "This time, I really want to listen to his piano sound and see if it is as rumored in the rivers and lakes." After speaking, his face was full of yearning.
[I want to hear it too.] The second girl gestured at her and giggled.
"Okay." Hua Jiu nodded.
The two of them sped up, didn't rest much halfway, and two days later, finally arrived in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions was originally a very wealthy place, regardless of men, women, children, or high-ranking officials and people, the clothes were all the same material, and the colors were also the same and bright, and they looked vibrant. And people here are especially fond of wearing jewelry, especially women, all of whom are silver.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Hua Jiu was fascinated by the scene in front of him.
The downtown is full of people, but it is not lively, and the prosperous streets are selling strange things, which have not been seen in the Central Plains. It is surrounded by a variety of shops and restaurants, which look crowded but have a unique charm.
"Sugar gourd, sell sugar gourd—"
"Freshly baked buns, guest officer try them—"
……
The street vendors shouted louder and louder, which immediately attracted the attention of many pedestrians.
Not far ahead, a group of people gathered together, chattering and not knowing what to say, when suddenly, a sound of gongs and drums was heard from the crowd. Immediately afterward, a string of silver ornaments collided together and made a tinkling sound.
Hua Jiu curiously pulled the second girl and ran over, and saw a girl standing on tiptoe in the middle of a row of wine vats. The girl was at most thirteen or fourteen years old, with a purple short-sleeved crop top on her upper body, a pair of bloomers on the lower body, a pair of boat-shaped cloth shoes on her feet, and a belt hanging from her waist to her ankles. The girl is very watery, with a melon seed face, walnut eyes, and curly eyelashes.
I saw that her fingers were slightly hooked in the shape of a peacock, and she was holding a red lace fan in her right hand, and she didn't know what kind of weird dance she was dancing. Her body was very gentle, and her toes spun rapidly on several wine vats, jumping and spinning, and a few perfect movements attracted the applause of those around her.
Hua Jiu was very curious about the silver jewelry she was wearing, thinking that wouldn't it be heavy to wear so much? There were a few thick silver rings around the girl's neck, and she felt very heavy. Then look at her arms, a string of jewelry, and her ankles, which also wore a silver ring and a few bells.
The second girl didn't come back to her senses, she may not have seen such a weird dance, but she also has a lively and enchanting beauty.
After a while, I saw a one-eyed man flatten the gong and hold it in his hand, and ran to the crowd one by one to beg for money.
It turned out to be a vaudeville, and when everyone saw that they still had to charge a fee, they scattered in a hurry.
Hua Jiu dragged the corner of Erniu's clothes and walked away, she didn't have much money left, she was giving him a few children, I was afraid that there was no money to find an inn at night.
The second girl seemed to be very reluctant and babbled for a long time.
Hua Jiu didn't go far with her, and the two were attracted by a clothing store with novel styles and a wide variety of clothes.
The owner of the shop pù is a graceful and plump middle-aged woman, wearing heavy makeup, wearing two large silver rings on her earlobes, there is a crumbling feeling, she is beating the abacus at the moment, and when she sees that there is business, she immediately puts down the work in her hand and twists her waist and walks over.
Seeing that it was two outsiders, she said with a flattering face: "The fabrics in the small shop are all fine silk and satin, can the two girls take a fancy to them?" "The voice was very high-pitched, and it felt like a profiteer.
Hua Jiu was dazzled, picked up this one and felt that it was better, and the same was true for the second girl on the side, and the two of them stood in the store for more than half an hour.
"Would you like to try this, girl?" The plump proprietress saw that the two of them had no opinion, so she directly took a yellow printed suit and handed it to the two. "It's the best thing we sell." She boasted.
Bright yellow satin, exquisite workmanship, a few ruffles overlapping at the cuffs are lively and lovely, and some white flowers are printed on it, which is top-notch at a glance.
Hua Jiu looked at it, instantly liked it, looked at the second girl on the side and asked what she meant, and the second girl nodded and gave a thumbs up.
"Okay, I want it." Hua Jiu said to the proprietress next to him.
Just as I was about to buy it, there was a loud bang outside the door.
"Stop—stop!" I saw a brute shouting, holding a rough hemp rope in his hand, and at the other end of the rope was a runaway ox. The cow went on a rampage as if it had been stimulated by something, and the streets were full of knocked over stalls, and vegetables and all sorts of things were scattered all over the floor. The crowd erupted, and everyone fled in all directions.
The brute seemed to be old, his body was gradually weakened, and he was dragged to the ground by the ox and rolled a few times, but he still refused to let go of the rope in his hand.
Hua Jiuyi hurriedly chased after her, jumped to the roof of a row of houses on the side of the road, and she only stepped on a few tiles and jumped onto the cow's body, grabbing the two horns with both hands. Xu saw a touch of red, and the cow became even more crazy, shaking its body in place, mooing and mooing.
The bones in Hua Jiu's whole body were about to be shaken apart, and he slowly lost his strength. Suddenly, the bull rushed forward, and its horns slammed against a tree.
With a slam impact, her hand slipped, and she bounced off the cow's back, landing on one side of the concrete floor and rolling twice.
The scalper saw a red figure on the ground, and rushed over again without thinking.
It's not good, it's dangerous to spend nine
"Look at that girl, she actually resisted a cow!"
"Resisted alive..."
"It's so strong......"
"Not like the locals..."
Hua Jiu closed her eyes tightly, thinking that this time was over, and suddenly there was a discussion in the crowd, and she raised her head curiously.
In front of her, a woman in green had her sleeves held high, and her hands were pressed on the two horns of the ox. The scalper kept kicking its hooves and mooing, but couldn't take a step forward.
Who else is this girl besides Yang Erniu?
She's really powerful, Hua Jiu thought to herself.
