Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Arrival in Rongcheng
The only truth I learned from my childhood was that was not subverted by the practice I grew up with. At the end of the unitary hour, seeing that we were about to arrive at Rongcheng, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a strong wind. Looking at this situation, you can see that a heavy rain is inevitable.
"Xiu, can we rush to Rongcheng before the heavy rain comes?" This sentence is purely for the sake of two comforts, because I know in my heart that this is impossible.
Han Xiu looked at the suddenly darkened sky, turned back to Feng'er and said, "Don't worry Feng'er, I have an umbrella, and I'm not afraid of rain." ”
"Yes." Brother Xiu is more thoughtful than me.
But my peace of mind was shattered before it lasted ten minutes, and after the wind passed, raindrops the size of beans poured down from the sky. When Brother Xiu handed me the umbrella, he found that the two people in the back were pitifully covering the rain with their sleeves. Brother Xiu didn't think about it, so he lent them an umbrella, and then we led a horse and shared an umbrella.
Originally, this was nothing, but the problem was in this umbrella, because one of them was specially prepared for me, so the umbrella surface was a lot smaller than the other. With such a heavy rain, I can make do with one person, but I can't cover it with two people.
As a result, the umbrella was drenched in the heavy rain, and the umbrella fell dry.
The most hateful thing is Qian Lie, not only did he not thank me for Brother Xiu's sacrifice, but he repaid me a thunderous and long-lasting laughter.
Qian Lie saw Qin Suifeng, who was drenched like a chicken in soup, and then looked at himself who was only a little wet with his trouser legs, and the mood that had been dark all day suddenly turned clear with a rainstorm and a clear sky. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin widely, and his throat let out an incomparably pleasant cheer. Even if he was glared at by Qian Qiu a few times and pinched his butt bruised, he still smiled!!
Finally, Rongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could always shelter from the rain now. As a result, the sky suddenly cleared. Depressed, isn't this breaking sky clearly that you can't get along with me?
The streets of Rongcheng are exceptionally clean and wide after being washed away by heavy rain. Probably because of the heavy rain at the beginning of the break, there are not many people on the street, and occasionally a few people come and go in a hurry. It's better to look at people than buildings, and it's better to go shopping than to go shopping. This is my experience of traveling to the ancient city before I traveled. Looking up, the floating sails of the restaurant and the teahouse are more joyful than the family. Although many shops have closed their doors due to heavy rain, you can still see the bustling city. The signboard is bigger than the other, and the advertising words are more interesting than the other. Take this coffin shop, for example.
The first one wrote: The best coffin in Quanrong City, the best technology in Quanrong City! Yes, at a glance, you can see that it is the leader of the local coffin company!!
The second house: the best coffin in the whole holy sky, the best technology in the whole holy sky!! Be concise and focus on comparisons. I'm afraid that if I look at this, I won't choose that one.
Go ahead and see the third one: the best coffin in the world, the best technology in the world!! Talented, so talented! Eyes and outside, encompassing the world. This is how the advertisement is blown out, and the sales are compared like this!!
Further on, there is a fourth: the best coffin in this street, the best technology in this street!!! Incisive, so incisive!! Pay attention to reality and be realistic. Although self-confidence is indispensable, integrity is the last word!! It seems that you can't just shop around for anything, you have to shop around.
I watched advertisements on the street, and Han Xiu and the others went to find the inn. When I walked to the end of the street and returned to the 'Spring Inn', I saw that they were all drooping their heads and hanging their heads.
"Xiu, what's wrong with you, have you all been stolen or robbed?" I was amazed.
Han Xiu said guiltily: "Feng'er, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you to sleep on the street tonight." ”
Yes? What the? Can't you find an inn in such a big ancient city? "W-why is that?"
Qian Qiu said: "We divided into three ways and asked almost all the inns in the city, and they all said that they were already full. So, we tried to ask some people again, and they also said that they couldn't stay overnight. ”
Yes? What's going on, is it going on here for the Olympics or the World Expo? "Is there such a tight question about accommodation here? Can you ask why? "I thought to myself, there must be something big going on here.
Qian Lie stared at me with wide eyes, looked at me with the eyes of a Martian and an idiot, and sneered: "What, what? You wouldn't know? It's a shame that you're still boasting of being an all-rounder. ”
I've crossed over, and I've just arrived here, I don't know if it's supposed to be, so it's strange to know? I'm slandered. "Xiu, what the hell is going on?"
Han Xiu wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Tomorrow is the triennial Bizei Festival in Rongcheng. Like the imperial examination, this is a grand event of the All-Holy Heaven. The Bizet Festival lasts for five days, regardless of gender, age and status, but anyone with a skill can participate. That's why all the talented, capable, and alien people from all over the world have come to Rongcheng......"
As soon as I heard this, I understood that there was a talent contest here.
"Xiu doesn't have to feel guilty, in that case, why don't we sleep on the street all night?" I believe that I can't find accommodation tonight, and there must be a lot of people sleeping on the street. When the time comes, you won't be lonely, just sleep on the street.
Just as I was saying this, a little brother dressed as a little boy came out of the inn and passed by me.
"How many of you are worried about not being able to find a place to live?"
Could it be that the savior is coming, and I nodded like garlic. "Well, does this little brother know where to stay?"
The little second brother looked at Yin Yin's expectant eyes, wet and pitiful, and scratched his head embarrassedly. "I do know that there is a family that can stay overnight, but it depends on your ability, girl."
Look at me? Why look at me, not at the three in front of me? "May I ask which one is the little brother talking about, not far from here?"
Xiao Er pointed to the big street on the right: "Not far away, at the end of East Street, there is a big family with white walls and red doors, called Shifu." ”
As soon as I heard that it was not far away, I immediately became overjoyed. "Thank you, little brother, for suing me, then we went."
It wasn't until I hurriedly pulled Brother Xiu and ran for dozens of meters that I thought of forgetting to ask the little brother what kind of ability the family needed to stay overnight. When they came back again, they were gone.
Forget it, you don't need to ask, you will know when you go, anyway, you are ready to sleep on the street, and it doesn't hurt to try.
According to the route said by the second brother, we arrived outside the Shifu Gate in a short time.
Han Xiu stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker three times. In a moment, an uncle opened the door. "Four, what is this?"
This is our last hope of lodging, and we must not mess it up, although we are ready to sleep on the street, but what if there is a heavy rain this night?
"Hello uncle, we are here to ask for accommodation in your mansion. Excuse me, can you lend us a room tonight? It doesn't have to be a side room, even if it's a kitchen, firewood room, or utility room. My husband and I were drenched in heavy rain and had difficulty finding a place to live. I wanted to sleep on the streets, but I was afraid that my skinny horse and my little wolf wolf would catch a cold at night and get sick and suffer. I really don't know what to do, so I beg my uncle to help us for one night, just one night! We will not let your house live for us, we will pay the same price as the inn, and we will bring our own food, so it will not be too troublesome for your house. Uncle, okay, okay? "What I said was so pitiful and miserable that anyone who listened to it would be overflowing with sympathy.
Uncle looked at me, then at Han Xiu behind me, and at my poor skinny horse. Said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, there is a wing room in the house, three meals a day are full of delicacies, not to mention staying overnight for one day, even for ten days, just to see if you can walk in." ”
As soon as I heard that there was hope and so many benefits, I immediately continued: "Could it be that there are many organs in the government and there are many mazes, and we need to solve them ourselves?" "I secretly swore that I would go up to the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, jump into the oil pot, and I would give it a try in order to repair.
Uncle shook his head. "It's not as difficult as the girl said, but it does take a lot of work. Girl, right? ”
Yes, that's the overnight requirement, and it's not easy. My miserable mood suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, and firecrackers rang out. "I said uncle, look at you scare me. You said it earlier, isn't it just a pair? ”
When my uncle heard this, he shook his head and smiled. "Then the girl starts at this door. Come! Pen and ink waiting! ”
Thinking about the warm quilt and three good meals, I laughed wildly in my heart, and I looked at Han Xiu with a high-pressure wink.
Qian Lie looked at the ugly girl in front of him who was making waves everywhere at any time, the corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless to the extreme, and he was almost disgusted by her several times on the road, vomiting and hitting a tree.!
