Chapter 306: Burning Moon
Qinglian was about to change her name, she naturally communicated with Heilian in her heart, Heilian couldn't give any special name, she just said: "Your name, of course, you decide." ”
So when Qinglian saw the city and the beauty here, she made her own decision: "Then in the future, I will be called Yanyue." ”
Yan is the name of the city, and the moon represents a woman, and this is a new beginning in her life.
"Yanyue, then from now on, I will be Yanyue." Standing at the door of a hotel, Qinglian, no, Yanyue, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, said inwardly.
After walking for a day, I was also tired, and I wanted to find a place to stay, and I saw someone else holding my luggage and entering the inn to live, so Yanyue also came.
Walking into this inn, Yan Yue came to the counter of the inn, and saw that inside the counter, a woman in mortal clothes was busy taking care of the wine jar placed on the counter.
After a while, the proprietress felt that someone appeared behind her, and then she put down the feather duster, turned around, and saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a beautiful green dress, with a hat on her head, which Qinglian took when she passed through a small town, although she was a little embarrassed to take other people's things, but she was really afraid of being seen, and then she was found by Xiaoyaozi, so she had to cover her face with something to minimize the chance of exposure.
At this moment, the proprietress saw that it was a beautiful little girl, and couldn't help but smile, and then said, "This sister, are you going to live in the hotel?" ”
Yan Yue bowed her head slightly and said, "Sister, I really want to stay in the hotel." ”
"Well, a middle room is thirty copper coins a night, an upper room is one or two silver a night, and a lower room is twenty copper coins a night, sister, which one do you live in?" The hostess asked.
Yan Yue couldn't understand a little, is this room still divided into upper, middle and lower? So the upper, middle and lower inside, it should be the best in the upper room, and the price of the upper room is also the most expensive, she came out this time and brought a little gold, the gold is in Xiaoyaozi, it is not valuable, it is piled up in the warehouse and piled up into a hill, and no one is unusual.
She has read a lot of books, knows that in the mundane, gold is the most important, and she also understands some truths, and knows that wealth does not show wealth, but at the moment she has to live in a hotel, and she only has gold on her, she frowned slightly at the moment, and then said: "Boss, I have no money, only some jewelry left by my mother, can you help me exchange it for silver?" ”
The proprietress was a little hesitant, but when she saw Yan Yue's pitiful appearance, she reluctantly said, "It's okay." ”
Yan Yue nodded, and took out a gold hairpin cast in gold, this is one of the gold products in Xiaoyaozi's collection, she still has some gold ingots in her hand, but it is not easy to take out, this golden hairpin was originally taken away by her liking, ready to wear it herself, but now she has to sell it to the proprietress, after all, there are not many such opportunities, and she now needs silver that will not attract attention.
The proprietress asked Yan Yue to help her take care of the storefront, and then she went out to change the silver.
Yan Yue sat inside the counter, waiting for the proprietress to come back.
After a while, the hostess returned.
She was holding a small sandalwood box, obviously heavy inside, and she didn't know what it contained, but Yan Yue thought it should be silver, maybe, she thought.
At this time, the proprietress walked in, put the box on the counter, and said: "This sister, order it, it is before I change it for you, and the room fee and deposit that need to be paid have been deducted, and the minimum deposit in our store is seven days before you can live in the hotel." ”
"Oh" Yan Yue nodded, opened the box, and saw that there was no more, no less, fifty-three ingots of silver, the weight of the golden hairpin, was two taels, one tael of gold, and thirty taels of silver, the currency of this time, the exchange rate was stable, even if ten years had passed, it had not changed.
"No problem, sister, then I'll go upstairs." Yanyue said.
The proprietress nodded and said: "Wait for the second girl to ask you, if there is anything you need to help, you can just tell her directly, and you can also let her send dinner, but when you check out, you have to deduct it from the deposit, and the meal in the room is two cents of silver for a meal, ten or a tael, when the time comes, it will be deducted directly from the deposit, the girl doesn't have to worry, I have a record here." ”
To be honest, after deciding to change her name to Yan Yue, no one even asked her name, but Yan Yue knew that this name would be known one day, and what needed to be solved now was her own face, which would definitely be recognized once she was seen by Xiaoyaozi.
Sitting in front of the mirror, looking at herself inside, Yan Yue was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, she was thinking about one thing, how could she make Xiaoyaozi still not know herself even if her thoughts swept over her face?
Finally, Yan Yue's heart made up her mind, she took the scissors and gently swiped the left side of her cheek.
A half-inch-long scar appeared, and she felt a lot of pain in her heart, but if she didn't disfigure her face, she would definitely be seen by Xiaoyaozi in the future, and if he was recognized, he would definitely catch him back.
Yan Yue sat in front of the mirror, until the pain gradually became numb, the whole face, I couldn't feel it, the scar was only drawn, this was enough, ordinary people, there was an extra mark on the face, it looked like a completely different person, even if the eyes were similar, but even if it was a close person, it was normal to not be able to recognize each other.
After all, there are many similar people, human cognitive acquaintances, are identified by the details of the face, once the details have changed, the brain will automatically draw it as a stranger, under the brain self-protection mechanism, being painted as a stranger, is how to look at it, will not feel like it.
Yanyue didn't cry, if this was the price to pay to get free, then she didn't feel sad, because compared to freedom, this small scar was really nothing.
What's more, when she cultivates into a witch immortal in the future and has the power to compete with Xiaoyaozi, she can naturally find a way to heal this scar, if it is a mortal, then this scar will accompany her for a lifetime, if this person is a sorcerer, then this scar, pay a certain price, may not be unable to solve.
Yan Yue put the hat back on, it didn't look any different from before, so naturally it would not arouse suspicion, and she was growing her body now, her height was increasing, and her figure was also changing, and in a few years, even if Xiaoyaozi was in person, she wouldn't be able to recognize her as the former Qinglian.
