Chapter 33: The Plague God
"Two big brothers."
Ye Lingyi, who was dressed as a coachman, hurriedly ran out of the imperial temple and called the passer-by A and B who were setting up the car.
Passerby A: "What does this little brother do?" ”
Ye Lingyi turned his head vigilantly to look at the temple gate, and after confirming that Li Yuanlin did not come out, he smiled at passers-by A and B, and said, "Are you two going to Beijing?" ”
Passers-by A and B glanced at each other and nodded.
Ye Lingyi's face was overjoyed, and he said: "The two eldest brothers are really embarrassed, the younger brother has something to ask for, the younger brother is the horseman in the Helian Mansion in Beijing, the master has traveled here, the younger brother went to the thatched house in a hurry, but who knows that the master will disappear when he comes out, can the two eldest brothers help take me for a ride?" ”
"Yes, but ......" Passerby A was slightly puzzled: "Helian Mansion is a famous nobleman, and people from prominent families will also come to participate in the activities of ordinary people like us?" ”
Passerby B: "Besides, aren't you a coachman?" If you don't catch the car, how can your master go back? ”
"Uh......"
Ye Lingyi secretly screamed that it was not good.
The brain was running rapidly, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, and he immediately squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, my master is the talented and daring second young Helian Che of Helian Mansion, and he came secretly to join in the fun tonight, and you also know that Helian Mansion has strict rules, presumably the master is also afraid of being scolded by the house, so I can't wait for me to drive the horse back." ”
"I see."
Passers-by A and B stood on the cart dragged by the mule, with a very sympathetic expression, but also stretched out his hand and said, "Come, little brother." Come back with us! ”
Before that, she had never thought about where she could go in this strange world, or whether she could live a good life, she secretly felt that she was only one equal opportunity to be missed.
She desperately longed for freedom, and the closer she got to freedom, the more a corner of her heart was ready to move, and she even felt that even the air was much sweeter, as if as long as she was free from the confinement of the status of a slave, she could avoid the regrets of her previous life and live for herself.
After all, this is a hard-won new life.
From the beginning of waking up in a daze, she has become a pawn of a prominent family of an unknown dynasty to curry favor with the royal family, she doesn't know the reason for her resurrection in another world, and now she doesn't want to understand it, as long as she can stay away from the troubles......
Ye Lingyi suppressed her excitement and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, two big brothers." ”
The mule-drawn cart traveled through the snowy night, bumpy and bumpy, and finally reached the bizarre street.
Ye Lingyi jumped down from the cart and waved at passers-by A and B on the cart: "Thank you two big brothers for your rescue." ”
Passerby A laughed twice and said loudly: "You're welcome little brother." Not far from the front of the city is the tooth market of your Helian Mansion, so you should go there and find the master. ”
...... in Helian Province Tooth City?
What does that do?
Ye Lingyi still wanted to ask, but unfortunately when he came back to his senses, the mule cart had disappeared into the sea of people.
Forget it, just take a detour away from everything related to Helian Province.
Ye Lingyi smiled with relief, and turned around happily and walked towards the opposite street market in Helian Fuya City.
Many stalls along the way attracted her attention and made her walk linger.
The light fell on the girl's smiling face, and a pair of hands grabbed this and that on the stall.
The attitude of the small vendor is obviously not very good, and he looks at the poor sour man with a straight face, so he will almost have an eviction order.
Ye Lingyi didn't mind the slightest, in her opinion, she was the bird who got out of the cage at the moment, how could the excitement of rushing into the blue sky be suppressed so easily?
Now, she wants to go shopping and wash away the grievances and depression she has been full of since her life.
It's a pity that she forgot that there is an idiom since ancient times called "happiness gives birth to sorrow".
Just when Ye Lingyi was playing with a folding fan that was not very finely made, at the same moment when the small vendor opened his mouth to give the order to evict customers, a person who appeared in the crowded street market and had his own yin owl aura and was rampant in the market led a group of guards to come over.
It's Helian Chu!
Ye Lingyi's heart instantly rose to her throat.
I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I was afraid of something.
Busy covering his face with a folding fan, with an expression of life or death on his face.
The vendor didn't care that the person dressed as a man on the other side was frowning, and said impatiently: "I said, do you buy it or not?" My little business isn't for you to use for free! ”
It's a moment of exhaustion.
Ye Lingyi didn't dare to make a sound, she coughed dryly twice, and deliberately said in a rough voice: "I'll take a look first!" ”
However, the treacherous Helian Chu was obviously inferior to the late Helian Tu Straw Bag, and when the stall spoke, his gaze shifted slightly to see a person with a stiff back and a fan covering the side of his face, and a trace of suspicion immediately arose from those calculating eyes.
Fortunately, the footsteps did not stop because of this, and a group of people hurried by.
After a long moment, Ye Lingyi quietly looked behind him, and after confirming that the big trouble was far away, he finally dropped the fan, grabbed a red oil umbrella casually, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his arms, and ran away as if he was burning his buttocks, leaving the call of the small vendor: "Hey, your change ......"
She wasn't sure if Helian Chu recognized her, but she had to guard against it.
This outfit is obviously useless.
Ye Lingyi was a little panicked, frantically searching for shops selling clothes in the street market, but the opportunity was like a prank, the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't find it, and when she was desperate, she unintentionally saw a small building with red lights and green fire, and a few vulgar fans at the door waved their handkerchiefs at every passing man with charming expressions.
She knows that this is the scene that almost always appears in costume dramas - Qinglou.
The women at the door must be the chief publicity committee member of the Qinglou who is responsible for soliciting customers.
Ye Lingyi made up his mind and walked quickly towards the small building.
A few vulgar fans immediately lit up their eyes and surrounded them: "Ouch, Childe come in and sit ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Lingyi pushed away a few people and rammed into the Qinglou.
"Hey, don't be so anxious...... Son? ”
Inside the Qinglou, Ye Lingyi swallowed her saliva violently, and her eyes straightened and pushed the soft and boneless Qinglou woman into the room.
The Qinglou woman was as charming as silk, and she turned around and hooked Ye Lingyi's neck, but she pushed her to the side of the bed.
The door was closed with his backhand, and the red umbrella was discarded on the ground at random.
"Childe ......"
The woman's voice was delicate, her eyes were full of obsession, her jade body was horizontal, she got up and climbed onto Ye Lingyi's chest like a water snake, and her ten jade fingers gently teased the pink gauze on her body, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, and a pair of fragrant shoulders immediately loomed.
Ye Lingyi didn't care about her, and picked up the woman's clothes with her hands.
Then I heard only a coquettish cry, and even the bright candles in the room trembled three times with envy.
Afterwards, Ye Lingyi got up, touched the woman's clothes on her body with great satisfaction, glanced at the Qinglou woman who was full of grievances in the quilt, dropped a silver ingot casually, and said arrogantly: "This is the reward of the master." ”
After saying that, he picked up the red oil umbrella on the ground and was about to pull the door and leave.
This place is not too far from the place where Helian Chu was found, and she is afraid that if Helian Chu finds out, it will not be difficult to find this place and go back and forth.
"Wait......"
The Qinglou woman only had a fig cloth on her body, got out of bed from the bed, picked up the silver ingot, put it in her mouth and bit it, and after confirming the real money, she put away her feminine attitude, and said to Ye Lingyi: "The girl doesn't plan to go out like this, right?" With all due respect, even if you change your clothes, you can't escape the tracking of others. ”
Ye Lingyi looked back and was surprised: "How do you know that I'm hiding from someone?" ”
She lowered her head to look at the silk and satin she was all over, and felt that her posture was quite graceful.
The Qinglou woman smiled helplessly, her eyes darkened: "I've been here for a long time, what kind of person haven't I seen?" I knew it from the moment you picked up my clothes and changed into them! There are no ready-to-wear stores around here, and I see you being generous and forced to change your clothes, I guess...... You're pretending to be a man mostly hiding from someone nearby, and that person must have seen your men's clothes. ”
Such reasoning is also logical.
Ye Lingyi didn't feel very strange in her heart, but she clapped her hands very approvingly, and hugged the oil umbrella to her chest with interest: "That's all right, but you only guessed half right, I wear men's clothes because...... I only have men's clothes. ”
And she only has men's clothes, because she has a special status, and men's clothes are easy to move.
The woman in the Qinglou only had a fig leaf on her body, but she didn't hide it and was not afraid of Ye Lingyi's straight gaze, she walked over, circled around her a few times, observed for a moment as if she had changed suddenly, took Ye Lingyi's hand and walked to the dressing table, took out a small bamboo tube, opened the lid, poured something into the palm of her hand, and was about to wipe it on Ye Lingyi's head.
Ye Lingyi subconsciously avoided it.
I saw that the woman's expression was quite speechless and pouted: "What are you hiding?" This is shavings water for styling, look at yourself, what is a girl's hair frizzy into? Besides, who wears a woman's clothes and wears a man's head? I'm afraid that you have attracted the attention of a large group of people before you even walked out of this small building. ”
The woman spoke indignantly, and finally received Ye Lingyi's empowerment.
This seems to be reasonable, if you really look like this, you are afraid of being discussed, and you can't hide when you want to.
In order not to let herself soak in the soup freely that she had so hard won, Ye Lingyi had to laugh twice and accept the woman's fiddling with her head.
It was easy to get her hair done, Ye Lingyi was about to go out again, but the woman grabbed her hand again: "Can the girl do me a favor?" ”
Well, she knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Looking at the woman's sincere appearance, Ye Lingyi pulled the corners of her mouth with her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Can you take me away? Get out of here! ”
The woman's eyes were full of earnestness, and she looked like a long-awaited girl who wanted to get out of the quagmire.
"My family is a poor family, my father has been conscripted into the army, and he has been away from the border for ten years, and his family is so poor that he can't eat...... I still have a younger sister under the age of ten to support, I am trapped in this ghost wolf land, I can't go out by the mother and thugs in the building, the little sister has not heard from her for a long time, and I don't know what happened to her, I am really worried, and I ask the girl to help me......"
Ye Lingyi's eyelids jumped, looking at the small flame of hope burning in the depths of her pupils, and hesitated slightly: "You said you wanted to leave, but you just ......" The look of dealing with men is obviously a backbone-level Qinglou nail household who is like a fish in water.
