Chapter 46: Little Qu'er
Linglong smiled and untied the ribbon, and put down the bamboo curtain again, don't be embarrassed for the girls to chase mosquitoes, she went out for a walk by herself.
This is how a thief is, some days when you don't go out in the middle of the night, you always feel that something is missing from this life.
Not every thief has a kleptomanticity, they may all be like Linglong at first, forced by life, the first thing Linglong stole in her previous life was a hard bun, and she hadn't eaten for two days before that. But stealing, stealing, and it becomes a part of life. If you don't steal something good, you always feel sorry for it.
The closest to here is Anci Town, which guards the mountain village and is not a prosperous place. Linglong didn't really want to step there, she just wanted to go out for a walk.
Of course, if there is something really good, it is not impossible to take the sheep with you.
Thinking like this, Linglong changed into a night suit, let Xingyu as a cover, and pretended to serve the young lady to sleep.
There is no nursing home in the Zhuangzi, that is, a few stout Zhuang men take turns to be on duty at night, and Linglong slipped out of the Zhuangzi from under their noses without much effort, and those people thought they were dazzled, rubbing their eyelids, how could there be any figure, it was clear that they were really dazzled.
Most girls can be a bit of a road idiot, especially in unfamiliar places. But when you are a thief, you don't have a road idiot, otherwise how can you escape. Don't think that the thieves only practice the ability to steal things, they practice more as a means of escape.
There are no thieves who are not afraid of death, they spare their lives like gold. If you are not afraid of death, then be a killer and make more money. Because they are afraid of death, no matter what time and space they are in, there have always been only killers who have changed their careers to be thieves, and no thieves who have changed their careers to become killers.
It's a matter of life, and there can be no ambiguity.
Therefore, although Linglong was unfamiliar with the place here, and the road in the mountains was not easy to walk, she still quickly found the way to Anci Town, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran all the way.
The road to the town was not official, nor was it smooth, far less than the way they had come from the capital. The mountain road is high and low, and the moonlight is sprinkled like mercury, shining on the empty mountain field, which has an ethereal charm.
There was no one around, there was silence, and you couldn't even hear the chirping of night birds.
Linglong is not small, but a twelve-year-old girl will inevitably have a little crankiness. So as she ran, she felt that the trees in the distance were like ghosts with their capes, and as for the grass by the roadside, there must be elves hidden.
In order to strengthen her courage, she sang a song, which was still sung in private by those embroidery girls when she was in the old house in Jiangsu.
Jiangsu is famous for Suzhou embroidery, so large families will raise embroidery girls. There are as few as two or three, as many as dozens. The Jin family already opened several embroidery workshops, so there were more embroiderers in the old house than others. In addition to doing the work in the house, these embroiderers will also act as masters to teach the ladies embroidery, and Pingsuri will often take some work from the embroidery workshop to do.
Linglong learned embroidery from them, and her grandmother and aunts used her as a maid, but in her spare time, she would sneak to the place where the embroidery lady lived and learn to embroider with them.
This song is what the embroidery girls love to sing, but it is only sung in private to have fun, if the housekeeper comes in, immediately stop singing, no one will sing again.
Linglong asked them, and they told Linglong that this song was not good and could not be sung in a big family, so as not to bring bad to the female dependents.
But Linglong still learned, she was a little older, and she knew that this song really couldn't be sung casually, but there was no one here, so she opened her throat and sang it.
“…… In the middle of the night, I walked to the pavilion, and there was a lover in front of the pavilion. Holding the jade hand lightly, I was secretly shocked in my heart. Kiss your cheeks a little bit. Sister said: Lang, tonight's meeting is the seventh day of July, and I see the morning glory Vega ......"
This song is sung in Wu Nong's soft language, which has a unique charm, and Linglong herself thinks that it is good to sing, so she sings it over and over again, and it is too enjoyable.
As he sang, he heard a subtle sound, not like the sound of horses' hooves, but like something heavy on the road, and the sound was very close.
Linglong stopped singing and looked back, only to see that it was dark, and a man and a horse were already behind her!
Linglong was not a fuss person, but she was also taken aback, it was obvious that someone was riding over, why did she not find out until she was close?
But in a moment's astonishment, she recognized the horse.
Where do you not meet in life, on this kind of mountain road in the barren mountains and mountains, you can even meet acquaintances, no, it is a familiar horse!
That's a sunspot.
It's just that the man on horseback has a different face.
"Hey, Second Brother Shi!"
Like last time, Shi Er walked over, urged the horse to turn back, saw Linglong, and said with a smile: "You are a small ball, how can I meet you anywhere." ”
Linglong thought to herself, I still want to say this, are you a ghost, how can you meet it anywhere?
Very close, Linglong realized that the four hooves of the sunspot were wrapped in thick cloth, no wonder there was no sound of horses' hooves running on the road.
"You are not afraid in the capital, but here you have to wrap the horse's hooves, are you afraid that the wild boar will eat you?" Linglong quipped. She is very happy, it is great to meet acquaintances when walking at night, not to mention that this person is still an expert, and it is great to have an expert with her when she comes to a place where she is not familiar with life.
"I heard someone singing just now, why didn't you see anyone after chasing after me, did you see it?" Shi Er didn't have the joy of reuniting after a long absence, his mind was obviously on the person who sang the song.
Linglong rolled her eyes, thinking that this person is really idle, barren mountains and mountains, you are not afraid when you hear someone singing, you are not afraid that it is the mountain ghost who comes out to hook the soul.
"That's what I sang, it's good." Linglong is triumphant, no matter what, it can be regarded as meeting a bosom friend.
"You sing? Don't lie, children, it's clearly a woman's voice, let me guess it's a thin horse from Yangzhou, still young. ”
Linglong almost didn't come up in one breath, thin horse? Skinny Horse!
You can imagine that it was a skinny horse just by sound!
"How do you know that it's Yangzhou Skinny Horse, it's clearly a Suzhou accent, not Yangzhou dialect at all." Linglong is really angry, if you don't know the goods, forget it, and say that I'm a thin horse.
Shi Er was stunned for a moment, he was not from Jiangsu, he could only hear the accent of that piece, but he couldn't tell where it was.
"I see, the song is lewd and lewd, and it is clearly a child's voice, I thought it was a skinny horse that had not yet grown."
Lewd and!
Since reuniting with him, it has only been a moment's work, and Linglong has already sulked in her stomach.
"The surname is Shi, I'll say it again, that song was sung by me, if you say some foul language, let's fight."
Shi Er's face is no longer the fake face from last time, obviously he knows that he has been cheated, and the workmanship of this face is obviously much better, but he can still see at a glance that this is fake, ridiculously fake.
