Chapter 16: The Flower Thief
Since the departure from Zhongye Town, more than half a month has passed, and in this half month, we have been sleeping in the open air, and we can't see the shadow of other towns for half of the month. Half a month has passed, and I see that I am almost at the border of the North Underworld, how can I believe that there is no town in the south from Zhongye Town?!
Since I hadn't passed through other towns for half a month, Shi Mo and I still rode on the same horse. A few days ago, I was still a little twisted, and I kept my back straight every day, and my whole body was sore and my bones hurt after a few days of bumps. Later, I simply broke the jar and fell, Shi Mo rode comfortably behind me, why should I be abused in front, so I used Shi Mo as a human cushion, how comfortable and how to sit, a few days later, I was comfortable, I saw Shi Mo's face becoming more and more blue day by day.
The result of Shi Mo's bad face was that the horse was fast, and he had to run the fastest with the two of them.
After another day's journey, you can cross the North Hells to the land of Yueqiu.
Shi Mo told me that on that day in the Cloud Pavilion, it was the secret guard of the Northern Darkness who was eyeing us, and the king sent him to find my traces. That's why I'd rather ride three thousand-mile horses and leave quickly. But what he didn't tell me was that what he said earlier was a fool of himself when he passed through other towns, and that they had planned to get around all the cities.
Of course, I had an epiphany after the fact that I bypassed the city.
If you want to go out to Yueqiu, you need to pass through the North and South Guancheng, Nanguan City is the southernmost town in the North Underworld, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the pass is very strict, if there is no customs clearance seal, you can not go back and forth between the North and Yueqiu. Fortunately, Shi Mo and An Lu themselves are Yueqiu people, and they come with their own customs clearance seals, so I only need to disguise myself as An Lu's little guys.
For this reason, An Lu also took advantage of me: "Xiao Lanmu, let me take you with me, but I want me An Lu to be suave, but you little guy is born yin and yang, say it's a male baby, a little girly, say it's a female baby, and a little masculine." ”
I replied to him: "I'm not yin and yang, how can I set off your graceful and suave?" ”
An Lu was in a good mood when he heard this, so he accepted my arrangement as his little servant.
Nanguan City is not as prosperous as the town in the middle of the century, and the people in the city make a living from planting, which belongs to the self-sufficient economy. Beiming has always been relatively tough in the area of customs trade, and only opened Xiguan City as the entrance to customs clearance, unlike Yueqiu, where the entrance of the Quartet City is a commercial port. Therefore, those who enter and leave Beiming and Yueqiu from Nanguan City are either people who visit relatives or send official documents, and the officials are the envoys of North Vietnam who visit each other.
The four major powers of Qiyun Continent are adjacent to each other, and their territories are basically connected together, so only the Yueqiu people enter the North from Nanguan City.
When he arrived at Nanguan City, it was already evening, and Shi Mo looked for an inn to stay in. As soon as I entered the inn, I couldn't wait to call Xiao Er's dozen buckets of hot bath water to be delivered to the room. In the more than half a month of traveling, because of the difference between men and women, and the fact that most of the places passed by were open spaces, even wiping one's body by the stream has become a luxury.
An Lu called Xiao Er and said to me mysteriously: "Xiao Lanmu, I'll take you to the natural hot spring." ”
It was a good intention, but I couldn't help but glance at An Lu more, and he had nothing to do, although it would not be dangerous for him to call me out, but it was definitely not a good thing, so he said: "No, little brother, I'd better go back to the room and wash up." ”
An Lu said regretfully: "Alas, after this Nanguan, there is no such hot spring, I think that hot spring can soothe the body and mind, smooth the skin, and eliminate toxins, it is really hard to find." Originally, seeing that you are my little girl, I said that I would take you to a long time, but I didn't think you were so uninterested, and a piece of kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. That's it, you can wash in the room, but there are more flower thieves in Nanguan City, and the doors and windows are closed when you take a bath. ”
When An Lu mentioned the flower thief, the first thing I thought of was Liu Ye I met in Midleaf Town, and the disdainful expression when I said that I was flat-chested. Shaking his head, he shook Liu Ye's image out of his mind, he forced Bi Qiao to death, this account, sooner or later, I will have him to pay it back double!
I asked Xiao Er to continue to fetch bathwater, arched his hand to An Lu, and said, "Divine doctor, go away, Lan Mu will not be accompanied." ”
An Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Not interested in Shi Mo's body?" ”
Ahem! I was choked by my own saliva, what kind of thinking is this An Lu, what kind of thinking is this, he is so straightforward to speak, and he doesn't treat me as a girl at all.
I shook my hand, didn't answer, and turned to go upstairs.
Fortunately, I have the memories of my previous life, and I have experienced some things in the world, so if I want to change it to another girl who has not been killed, I will not be forced to be embarrassed by An Lu? Thinking about it, An Lu is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can his thinking be so strange, which is embarrassing.
After Xiao Er made the bath water, I locked the door and window, and then escaped into the hot water.
Soaking in the bath is one of life's great pleasures, and it is extremely comfortable. Except for the time when the accident occurred in the General's Mansion, the last thing I could not fall behind at other times was the bath. Taking a bath allows me to analyze a lot of things, forget a lot of things, and adjust myself.
I have tried to forget many things in the General's Mansion in order not to grieve so much, but I have not succeeded, and every time I try to forget, I will dream back in the middle of the night and repeat it in my mind over and over again. Since the accident in the General's Mansion, until today, except for the night I was drunk, I have not slept completely, and I always wake up and wake up, and I am very unstable. I thought about continuing to numb myself with wine, but Shi Mo didn't allow it, Shi Mo said that if he blindly escaped, he would end up just a turtle with a shrunken head. I don't like the fact that he uses the animal of a turtle to describe escape, but I have to admit that he has a point.
Is there anyone like me, who is slaughtered all over the house, lives for revenge, and has to constantly adjust his mentality, not let himself escape, not let himself fall into extremes, and keep himself calm at all times?
Pretending to have some luxury in life, pretending to be full of kindness to the world.
There should be, there must be, how can I be the only one in the world.
Thinking about it, I closed my eyes until I was awakened by the sound of jumping out of the window.
Jump out of the window!
I stood up abruptly and picked up the liner next to the bathtub and put it on, since the Liu Ye incident, every time I took a shower, I put my clothes closest to me in case of accidents.
I just didn't expect to use it today.
I stared at the figure behind the screen, and he was moving forward step by step, until he walked to the screen, and then said, "Nalan Mu." ”
Three words, let my blood flow back instantly, this playful tone, as if returning to the scene of that night, he said, Nalan Mu, I just want to show you a scene.
When Liu Ye's demonic face appeared in my sight, I coldly mocked: "It seems that you really have a habit of peeping at other people's baths, and you have a mental illness?" ”
Liu Ye smiled brightly and said, "Mu'er, don't come unharmed." ”
I snorted, drew my self-defense dagger, and said to him, "I don't want to see you, you go quickly!" ”
Liu Ye made a hurt expression, shook his head and sighed: "It's a shame that I miss you so much, and I came to Nanguan City to look for you thousands of miles away, how can you treat me like this." ”
I nervously said, "What do you want to do this time?!" ”
But he suddenly reached out and grabbed me by the neck, pushed me to the pillar violently, took the dagger from my hand and threw it aside, squinted at me, and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”
I was hit in a pain in the back, gasped, clenched my fists, forced myself to look directly at him, and said: "Your martial arts are higher than mine, killing me is only a matter of minutes, you said that my general's mansion owes you, and now that the general's mansion is dead, you will take my life again, won't you get your wish?" Come on, do it! ”
He looked at me suspiciously, then kissed me on the lips without warning.
I looked at him with wide eyes, incredulous and humiliating.
His kissing movements were gentle, sucking gently on my lips.
But his eyes were cold and confused, which made me feel ashamed.
His hand around my neck slowly let go, turning to restraining my hands, no matter how hard I pushed him or hit him, he was unmoved.
It took a long time, as if it had been a long time, before he retreated.
Before he could react in his mind, he slapped him out.
But I didn't hit him as I wanted, my wrist was grabbed by his palm in mid-air, and he laughed playfully and said, "Hate me?" ”
"I want you to die!"
"Then remember me, the day you finish your studies, come to me, I look forward to your growth."
I pulled my wrist out of his palm and glared, "You seem confident? ”
He sneered and said, "Now you are not qualified for me to destroy it with my own hands, and when you become the top of you, you can enter my eyes." ”
"Do you know that one day you're going to die of too much conceit?"
He stepped forward, but I leaned against the pillar and couldn't retreat, he reached out and rubbed my face, and said with a smile: "There is only one person in this world who can kill me, will you be that person?" After thinking about it, he said: "I can't tease you for a while, I always feel that there will be less fun, so let's leave something for me, so that I can see things and think about people." ”
After speaking, regardless of my wishes, he reached out and pulled the jade pendant from my waist. That jade pendant is my mother's!
"Give it back!"
But he ignored it, turned to the side and said, "I'll take it when you look for me in the future." ”
As soon as the last word fell, the man jumped out of the window and left, leaving me to stomp my feet in the room.
Scoundrel, scoundrel, Liu Ye, you are a complete scoundrel!
At dinner, my face was very bad, An Lu tried to make me happy, but I choked back, but Shi Mo was very conscious of eating on the side, and rarely talked to me during the whole process.
An Lu, who was choked by me, didn't give up, as if he had a gossip plot, he had to come up with something to stop, and only listened to him: "Xiao Lanmu, tell me, why is your face so ugly, I am also a doctor, maybe I can give you a diagnosis or two." ”
"Not necessarily."
"You said you would let you go to the hot spring today, you didn't go, I was in a good mood before, how could I take a bath in the room and become like this, is it possible to meet the flower thief?"
I took the chopsticks in my hand.
