Chapter 120: The Trickster
Jian Ning is not familiar with Dongchuan Town, and the map is just a small icon for Dongchuan Town.
"Miss, where are we going when we go this way?" Xi'er asked behind Jian Ning, "I knew that I would have asked that little second before I came out." β
"It's okay, we were originally just walking around, let's go wherever there are more people!" Jian Ning looked at Xi'er's look of regret and chagrin, and said with a smile.
For Jian Ning, walking like this is already like a tour, you must know that there is no such antique place in modern times! Even the places that are known as ancient towns are mostly rebuilt later, which is not unusual at all.
"Hey, Ning'er, you see a lot of people gathered there, let's go see what's going on!" Ruan Zijin pointed to a place not far in front of him and said.
Jian Ning looked at the place where Ruan Zijin pointed his finger, there were indeed a lot of people gathered, and there were still a lot of people going there.
"Okay." As soon as Jian Ning answered, she was pulled by Ruan Zijin and hurriedly walked there.
"Zijin, you don't have to be in such a hurry! It's not a long way to go. β
"Maybe they'll be gone in a moment?" Ruan Zijin said unconvinced.
In this way, Ruan Zijin took Jian Ning's hand, followed by Xi'er, and quickly walked towards the crowd.
After a lot of effort, Ruan Zijin finally squeezed to the front with Jian Ning. At first glance, I realized that someone was performing a trick.
Jian Ning looked at the person who was juggling, he was about twenty years old, and he was also handsome.
When Jian Ning and the others squeezed in, it happened that the person was going to perform a trick of changing people. We are now inviting people who are willing to come forward and cooperate with the performance.
Jian Ning was thinking about Liu Qian, a magician who was once all the rage in modern times, when that person's hand suddenly stretched out in front of him.
"This young lady, can you do me a favor and complete this show with you?" The man smiled and invited Jian Ning.
Jian Ning was stunned for a moment. Ruan Zijin, who just wanted to refuse, but didn't want to be on the side, suddenly said: "Ah, Ning'er, go quickly!" β
looked at Ruan Zijin's excited look. Jian Ning couldn't bear to sweep away her interest, so she had to go out.
Following the man's instructions, Jian Ning squatted into a wooden box. Cover the lid. Everyone watched as he placed a large black cloth over the large black box, and then turned the box up with force.
Jian Ning squatted inside the box, clearly feeling the rotation of the box, and groping around the inner wall of the box, hoping to find some mechanism. But after touching for it, until the box finally stopped, she still couldn't find any mechanism.
I thought to myself, obviously I was still there. What the hell is this trickster playing? If the lid is opened in this way, won't it mean that the trick has failed?
Jian Ning was very puzzled inside, but the audience outside was nervously holding their breath at the moment, and the most calm was the trickster.
With a flick of his hand, he instantly lifted the black cloth. At that moment, Jian Ning suddenly felt a blank in her mind.
The man slowly opened the wooden box, and what appeared in front of everyone was an empty box, and everyone immediately applauded.
Jian Ning's consciousness was slightly blurred, and she vaguely heard those applause, when she wanted to hear it more clearly. But it can't be done.
And at this time, the man who was playing the trick blocked the huge black cloth in front of him, in front of everyone. After showing it before and after. shook vigorously and quickly, and in an instant, with a shaking sound of "bang", Jian Ning appeared behind the black cloth intact.
At this moment, everyone was even more amazed, and even forgot to applaud all of a sudden.
Jian Ning looked at the man who was smiling at him beside him, and then at the wooden box just now, as well as the people who were shocked, and suddenly felt incredible.
I didn't come out of that box, but I felt a momentary distraction. Why are you standing here all of a sudden?
"Bang Bang!" At this moment, the thunderous applause almost drowned out Jian Ning.
"Whoa, whoa, Ning'er. Awesome, how did you do it? Ruan Zijin also shouted loudly on the side.
"Miss is so good!" Xi'er was also clapping her hands desperately.
"Thank you! Thank you also for the help of this young lady. The man bowed to everyone. Turned to Jian Ning and thanked him.
At this time, many people naturally took out the silver, and the person also took it one by one with gong noodles to thank him.
"Thank you all for today!"
Jian Ning was still stunned, puzzled.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you? How did you stay motionless? Hey, Ning'er, how did you get out of that box just now? Where did they hide again? Knowing that Ruan Zijin's voice sounded in her ears, Jian Ning reacted.
didn't bother to answer Ruan Zijin's words, and immediately looked for the person just now. Seeing that he was packing up his things and was about to leave, Jian Ning immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm and said, "This son, how about enjoying your face and drinking a cup of tea?" β
"Miss wants to invite, naturally there is no reason to refuse. Please! The man agreed very happily, and immediately made a gesture of invitation.
Jian Ning looked at it, and there happened to be a teahouse not far away, so she walked over directly.
Seeing Jian Ning and the man walking in front, Ruan Zijin and Xi'er immediately followed.
When she arrived at the teahouse, Jian Ning found a relatively quiet location, and Xiao Er quickly brought the tea up.
After Jian Ning poured a cup of tea for the man, she asked straight to the point, "How did you get me out of that box just now?" β
As soon as he heard Jian Ning's words, Ruan Zijin swallowed the sip of tea he had just drunk, and coughed several times before he recovered.
Looking at Jian Ning with an incredulous expression, he asked, "Ning'er, don't you know what's going on yourself?" β
Jian Ning didn't answer Ruan Zijin's words, just nodded, and then looked at the man again.
I saw the man smile and said, "What Miss asked is a bit difficult for a strong man." This is my eating craft, and if I sue you, it won't be a mess. β
After speaking, he picked up the cup of tea that Jian Ning had just poured in front of him and took a sip slowly.
"I just don't say it." Jian Ning immediately replied.
"It's not going to be easy. If you don't tell Miss SΓΉ, it seems that I don't believe Miss, and it's really not polite. But if you tell Miss SΓΉ, this is indeed a craft that is not passed on. Is that stumbling me? The man said with a look of embarrassment.
Jian Ning kept staring at his eyes, although his expression was embarrassed, but Jian Ning clearly saw a trace of cunning in his eyes.
"Since it's inconvenient to explain, it's not difficult. But since you are destined to meet, why don't you make a friend? Jian Ning changed her expression just now and said with a charming smile.
Although the person in front of him was just a trickster, Jian Ning always felt that such a person might come in handy in the future, and there was no harm in making friends anyway.
"Since Miss has spoken, how can I refuse." After speaking, he immediately took the teapot on the table, poured a full cup of tea, raised his glass and said: "In Xia Wushi, make Miss this friend, replace wine with tea, and toast Miss with a cup!" β
After speaking, he drank a whole cup of tea very simply.
"Jian Ning." Jian Ning also picked up the tea in front of her and drank it all.
"Wu Shi? Witch? Ruan Zijin looked at Wu Shi and muttered.
"What, does this young lady think there's something wrong with my last name?" Wu Shi looked at Ruan Zijin and asked lightly.
"Oh, no, no. I just think this surname is rare. Ruan Zijin then shook his head and said. In fact, the reason why she felt strange was because a long time ago, she seemed to have heard the master mention the surname Wu, but she was still young at the time, and she didn't listen to it well, so she really couldn't remember it all of a sudden.
"Brother Wu doesn't look like a Yuanchu person?" Jian Ning drank tea and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well, indeed, it doesn't really count in strict terms." Wu Shi did not deny it, nodded and said in agreement.
"Oh? Then I don't know where Brother Wu is from? Jian Ning saw that it was really as she thought. Because among all the books about Yuan Chu she has read, no one is surnamed Wu. Not only did Yuan Chu not have it, but the other two countries had never seen the surname Wu. In fact, the most important thing is that Jian Ning always feels that he is not as simple as a trickster.
"This? It's a bit more complicated. My grandfather was from the Lingsui Kingdom, my grandmother and mother were from the Dongshang Kingdom, and my father was from the Yuanchu Kingdom. I was born in Yuanchu, grew up in Lingsui, traveled around the Eastern merchants, and finally returned to Yuanchu, so I really don't know which country to count on! After Wu Shi finished speaking, he lowered his head and pondered with a distressed face.
Jian Ning suddenly felt that this witch really had a feeling that he was playing with her, in addition to some small affiliated countries in this world, there were three kingdoms of Yuan Chu, Dongshang, and Lingsui, although it was rumored in ancient times that there was still a mysterious sea kingdom outside the continent - Binglan Country, but a melee more than two hundred years ago completely broke the connection between this continent and Binglan Country, and since then, no one from Binglan Country has appeared.
Now that Wu Shi has directly said all the three countries, he can't make Jian Ning fully believe it.
"Thank you Miss Jane for the tea today, I still have something to do, so I will miss it." Just when Jian Ning wanted to ask something, Wu Shi got up and prepared to leave.
"Won't you sit down for a while? Leaving so soon? Jian Ning was surprised, originally thinking that she could say something.
"Since we are destined, we will see each other again." After smiling, he nodded, and walked straight out.
"Ning'er, do you think there's something wrong with him?" Ruan Zijin watched Jian Ning keep staring at the figure that had gone away, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He leaned in front of her and asked.
"Hmm. It's definitely not a simple person to get me out of that box like that, so I don't even know what's going on. And when I was inside the box, I touched the inner wall of the box, and there was no mechanism at all. Jian Ning said with a frown.
The trip seemed to be worth it. (To be continued) RO
