Chapter 555: Qingqiu Town
There was a power outage in the city. The power was out until more than eleven o'clock tonight. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will stop from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
…………
Hearing the guard's words, Sunan and Nie Qianniang were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought about turning around and running away.
"Hurry up, what's the grind?" The guard shouted at the two of them again.
Seeing that there were already many people watching him behind him, Sunan knew that if he ran now, he would definitely be blocked. Who will run if they are not weak-hearted? And if you catch a wanted criminal, you can get a reward.
His mind flickered countless times, but Sunan still decided to go to the guard to see what he was looking for.
"What did you call us for?" Sunan and Nie Qianniang stood in front of the guard together and asked him.
"What is your relationship with her? Is she your spiritual pet? The guards stared at Sunan, waiting for his answer.
"It's not." Sunan replied crisply, "She's my sister." ”
Hearing the guard's question, Sunan also figured out what was going on. This is not a border, it is already considered the interior of the Northern Demon Domain. The relationship between humans and monsters also becomes farther and farther away as the distance increases. Nie Qianniang walked with Sunan, and it was easy to think that she was Sunan's spiritual pet.
The body that Nie Qianniang showed was an ordinary demon fox. In the city rules of Qingqiu Town, it is written that no one is allowed to take the demon fox as a spiritual pet. Once discovered, Qingqiu Town has the responsibility to save the demon fox.
Even if humans and demon beasts are hostile, they are not allowed to fight privately in the city, so the guard has to ask Sunan clearly before deciding whether to make a move.
"It's not." Nie Qianniang was next to her and also explained to Sunan. "I'm not Brother Su's spiritual pet. He recognized me as his sister. ”
Sunan and Nie Qianniang both said so. The guards are not good to attack again. However, he didn't let the two of them leave immediately, just looked at Sunan with some expectation in his eyes.
Sunan instantly understood what was going on. Stretched out his hand and took out a handful of spirit stones, and handed it to the guard's hand, "Brother guard, you are on duty here every day, you have worked hard." A little bit of a joke. Have a cup of tea, please. ”
Checking the spirit stone in his hand, a smile appeared on the guard's face, "Not bad, not bad!" Since the two of you are brother and sister, let's go into the city. As he spoke, he handed the two of them a jade slip. It contains information about the two of them and how long they can stay in the city for seven days. If it is more than seven days, you will need to go back to the city administration office and make a new registration.
Entering the city safely, the two of them first went to find an inn to live in.
For the colony of the fox clan. Nie Qianniang still yearns for it very much in her heart, and her father once served as the patriarch of the fox clan. It made her want to know about the situation of the fox clan. So, the two found the inn, and after settling down, they went out shopping together.
Walking all the way and seeing so many clansmen, Nie Qianniang was extremely excited.
Since she was a child, she has lived with Grandma Shu, and in that wood, under the pressure of Grandma Shu, no other demon beast dares to stay there. Even if there are a few dryads, they have not yet evolved into human form, so they can only stay where they are, unable to move at all. It can be said that Nie Qianniang's childhood life was very lonely. This also allowed her to retain her simple and kind heart.
Walking further down the street, there is a square in front of you, and a group of people are gathering next to a high platform. Curious, Nie Qianniang pulled Sunan and ran over there, wanting to go over to see what was going on.
On the stage, there was a young woman with a young lady's appearance, with a graceful body and a delicate face, just standing there quietly. Next to her, there was a woman with a ring in her hand, holding a ball of red balls, waiting there. In front of the two of them was a middle-aged man, who was talking about something.
Sunan and Nie Qianniang squeezed into the crowd, and after listening to the middle-aged man on the stage, they realized that the young lady on the stage was going to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives.
Nie Qianniang didn't know what it meant to throw a hydrangea to recruit relatives, so she asked Sunan. Sunan turned his head to introduce her.
While the two were talking, the young lady on the stage had already taken the hydrangea from Yahuan's hand, glanced at the audience, chose a direction, and then threw it hard.
Sunan only cared about talking to Nie Qianniang, but didn't notice that the direction chosen by the young lady was exactly where they were.
After the hydrangea is thrown over, it causes countless people to fight, and often one person is knocked away by another person before he can touch it. Just like a volleyball in a volleyball game, the hydrangea doesn't wait for it to fall, and then it is hit in the air again. And so on and so forth, until the hydrangea fell in the direction where Sunan was.
In the process of snatching the hydrangea, Sunan and Nie Qianniang were just talking there, and after the others saw the hydrangea, they all rushed up to scramble, so now the two of them are very empty.
The hydrangea fell from the sky and happened to fall into Sunan's arms. Because the hydrangea was not threatening, he didn't think much about it for a while, Sunan reached out and grabbed the hydrangea in his hand.
"Good!"
The middle-aged man on the stage saw that there was finally a result, and shouted loudly, and at the same time announced, "Throw the hydrangea to recruit relatives, the results have come out, please come to the stage with the friends who received the hydrangea." ”
Hearing the middle-aged man's shout, Sunan reacted, and what he received in his hand was the hydrangea.
How is this good, as soon as Sunan stretched out his hand, he wanted to throw the hydrangea in his hand. But this hydrangea has a special role, and now that he has caught it in his hands and thrown it out, what is the point? No, he wants to throw a hydrangea to recruit relatives.
Stretching out his hand and standing there, Sunan had a rare embarrassed expression on his face.
After listening to Sunan's explanation, Nie Qianniang already knew what it meant to throw a hydrangea to recruit relatives. At this time, when he saw that Sunan had grabbed the hydrangea in his hand, he was anxious and aggrieved, "Brother Su, how can you grab the hydrangea?" ”
Sunan hurriedly went to explain to her, "Qianniang, you should know next to you that we have been talking just now, and this hydrangea fell on me by itself." ”
Nie Qianniang also knew that what Sunan said was the truth, so it was not good to complain again, so she just asked him, "What should I do now?" ”
Sunan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the stage and explain it to them." ”
Although Nie Qianniang is simple-minded. It is also a person who understands things. If this is not explained clearly. It is likely to offend the family who threw hydrangeas on the stage. Although I don't know who they are, just looking at the demeanor of a few people in the stand, I can also know that they are unusual.
followed Sunan to the stage and walked to the middle-aged man, Nie Qianniang stood quietly aside and handed over the matter to Sunan to deal with.
"This gentleman, we are just here to watch the ceremony, and receiving the hydrangea is really not what we want. You should have seen the situation at that time. I just stood there and didn't fight for it. It was the hydrangea that fell on me on its own. ”
Sunan tried his best to explain the situation so that the man knew that he didn't mean to cause trouble.
When the middle-aged man heard Sunan's words, he didn't get angry at all, "Haha, young man, you have to believe in fate." You really didn't fight for the hydrangea. However, so many people can't grab the hydrangea, and you just stand there. And the hydrangea will fall on you. Don't you think this is a good marriage that God wants to make? ”
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man didn't even ask about his origins. directly identified himself, and Sunan only felt very depressed.
"This gentleman, we are just passing through the small town of Qingqiu, staying for a few days, and after a short rest, we will leave immediately, which is really not suitable for the marriage with the young lady. It's better to take advantage of the fact that everyone in the audience is still there, and let the young lady throw it again. ”
"Humph!" The middle-aged man straightened his face, "Is it child's play for you to throw hydrangeas and recruit relatives?" This is the way that Nuwa Niangniang passed on to us to get married. When is the hydrangea thrown not after praying with our incomparably devout hearts? Or, as you say, you can overturn the results at will, isn't this a blasphemy against Nuwa Niangniang? ”
A series of questions made Sunan unable to refute at all.
"But...... Sir, if you get married, you must have the same feelings. I have never met Mademoiselle and I, and our respective temperaments and personalities are unknown. How does this fit together? Sunan continued to excuse himself.
"The little girl has a docile temperament, knows how to be well-read, and understands all kinds of skills, as long as you are together, the relationship can be slowly cultivated. Don't you think my daughter is beautiful? The middle-aged man pressed one step further.
"Don't!" Nie Qianniang couldn't stand it beside her, "Brother Su still has me, how can he just look for it casually?" ”
"You?" The middle-aged man glanced at Nie Qianniang a few times, "You're just an ordinary demon fox." Don't you know the status of our Ning family in the fox clan? Our Ning family is a golden fox family, no matter what industry you have, if you hand it over to us Golden Fox to take care of, it will definitely be a thriving and prosperous business. Who would help this young man more than my daughter? ”
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Nie Qianniang was in a hurry, and she almost said that she was a nine-tailed sky fox. Just when she opened her mouth to speak, Sunan guessed her mind and quickly covered her mouth.
"Qianniang, calm down, don't be impulsive."
Interrupted by Sunan, Nie Qianniang came to her senses, smiled at Sunan embarrassedly, knowing that Sunan had herself in her heart, so she stepped aside and stopped causing trouble to Sunan.
"Mr. Ning, this matter is still invalid, let Miss Ning throw it again." Sunan still insisted on his own point of view.
"Impossible!" The middle-aged man shook his head stubbornly, "Young man, I told you just now. Our attitude is very religious. This set of rituals was passed down to us by Nuwa Niangniang. We can't disobey it, and we don't dare to disobey it. Since the hydrangea hit you, it is the will of heaven to make this marriage successful. ”
"Xin'er, come here." The middle-aged man waved at the young lady who had been standing calmly beside him. After she came over, she introduced to Sunan, "Young man, this is my daughter, one of the best children of the third generation of the Ning family, Ning Yuxin." ”
Sunan Chongning Yuxin smiled slightly.
"Young man, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" The middle-aged man didn't plan to let go of Sunan at all, and after introducing his daughter, he chased Sunan and asked.
Now Sunan is still thinking about trying to get along with middle-aged people, he introduced himself, out of politeness, he should indeed introduce himself.
So, Sunan pulled Nie Qianniang over, stood with him, and introduced to the middle-aged man and Ning Yuxin: "My name is Sunan, and this is Nie Qianniang." (To be continued......)
