Chapter 143: Begging
On the night of the Beggar's Festival, the city of Tokyo is very lively.
Even if the temperature remains high in autumn, it still can't stop people from traveling, and the street is crowded with people and crowds.
The hawkers along the street are shouting one after another, and all kinds of goods are piled up on both sides of the road, and there are all kinds of juggling on stilts, fire-breathing, monkeys, and all kinds of juggling.
People were either picking on the goods, watching the juggling, or whispering interesting things in groups of threes and twos, and laughing loudly when they were happy, attracting the attention of passers-by. The young couple walked through it, shyly side by side, looking for an opportunity to give gifts to each other, so that they did not look like they were full of affection and concubines.
Ye Lingyi's eyes fell on the young couple, and there was a trace of envy in her heart.
On the other hand, the man beside him, who had been silent and silent, had a slight disappointment in his eyes.
Just as she was about to say something to break the slightly solemn atmosphere between the two, suddenly, a burst of lively applause broke out not far away, and the applause was like thunder.
Ye Lingyi was attracted to attention, quickly brushed away the gloom in his heart, and trotted away in the direction where the voice came from.
Helian Che, who had been silent, was secretly thinking about what to give to her, after all, Ye Lingyi is not like an ordinary daughter, she doesn't like red makeup, and jewelry and jade may not be able to win her favor, but the weapon is short-bladed...... This begging festival is a good opportunity for lovers to make a date, wouldn't it be strange to send weapons?
Just as he was in a dilemma, he saw the figure of the slender man leave himself behind, squeezing through the crowd and heading towards the lively place.
"Huh?" Helian Che stretched out his hand to catch her shadow, but he was helplessly crowded with people.
A few girls around him who were smeared with grease and powder were looking at him with shy and expectant eyes.
Helian Che's face stiffened, and he had to withdraw his hand.
With the advantage of being petite, Ye Lingyi easily squeezed to the front, and only after looking at the newspaper board did she know that today's puppet show was playing the book of the West Chamber, the love story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, and now she is acting in the old lady urging Zhang Sheng to enter Beijing to take the exam.
Looking at a few puppeteers with flexible movements on the small wooden platform, Ye Lingyi suddenly became interested, leaned on the newspaper post, hugged his hands and said: "It turns out that this strange dynasty also has Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng. ”
The show ended quickly.
When Ye Lingyi turned around to look for Helian Che, he suddenly saw the tall and straight figure on the opposite side surrounded by a number of smiling warblers and smiles.
Walking over quickly, I just listened: "The slave family looks at the son's extraordinary figure, and the top handsome person on the street is not as good as the son's half a point, but today's beggar festival is a single man, no one is accompanied by the slave family is very distressed, and I don't know what type of girl the son likes, if you don't dislike it, the slave family can serve the child's side." ”
Ye Lingyi stopped and sighed: It turns out that ordinary sisters-in-law in this era are already so bold? openly molested the sons of good families on the street, and they didn't see their true appearance, but they were also confused just by their posture, and I really don't know whether to say that they didn't know.
Helian Che only felt noisy, his cold gaze crossed his side, and the slender figure who stood behind staring at the crowd suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
The lights are shining, and the man's smile seems to have become the most charming scenery of this bustling street market in an instant.
Yingying Yanyan suddenly fell into a state of nymphonia.
Ye Lingyi was slightly stunned, and scolded secretly: "Demon! What a sin! ”
He walked over, stretched out his hand to push aside the warbler Yanyan who surrounded him, and stood beside him.
Several women immediately asked dissatisfiedly, "Who are you?" ”
Ye Lingyi didn't answer, only squeezed out a smirk, and then raised his head and glared at the man: "Didn't you say that you should follow me?" Why did you blink an eye? ”
The man was wronged: "It's obviously your ......"
"What are you!" She deliberately didn't let him speak, and her eyes frantically gestured around.
The light in Helian Che's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly understood what she meant, and his retort suddenly turned into an ambiguous smile on his lips, and he took out a rabbit from behind him like a trick.
Ye Lingyi was startled, and looked at the little white rabbit in his hand in a daze.
Without waiting for her to ask, she replied, "For you." ”
"Why rabbits?" Ye Lingyi stretched out her finger suspiciously to tease the white rabbit.
"Because it's like you!" Helian replied, his eyes sparkling at her.
Ye Lingyi smiled: "You want to say that I am as cute as a rabbit?" ”
"No, because rabbits bite when they're in a hurry."
This answer made Ye Lingyi tease the rabbit for a moment, and his expression also stopped.
Puzzled looked up.
Helian Che pointed to his own Adam's apple with a metaphor that only the two of them knew.
This......
This ......
Thinking of his absurd behavior when he was confused, Ye Lingyi's head suddenly exploded with steaming heat, like boiling water, and his face was red with shame.
Snatched the rabbit and hugged it tightly, and turned around.
Suddenly, I saw that Yingying Yanyan was still there, and she was still looking at them with a strange gaze.
With an idea, he smiled evilly, and suddenly said to a few women: "Sisters, do you have a crush on my eldest brother?" ”
Big brother?
Brother Helian himself was full of questions.
Seeing the little woman possessed by the drama spirit, she said: "It's okay, my eldest brother doesn't have anything, he just has time, if you don't dislike it, you can all ask him!" ”
What the?
Helian Che's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak, when he saw her suddenly spread out her hand and stop several women who were staring at him with straight eyes and eager to try.
Ruthlessly said: "Small business, ten taels of gold, no credit, thank you!" ”
"What? Ten taels...... Gold? The woman raised her eyebrows and gasped, and smiled patiently: "Brother, isn't this price too dark?" ”
Brother?
She actually thinks of her as a man? Where does she look like a man?
Ye Lingyi's expression did not move, but the tips of his eyebrows twitched, and ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.
"Poof!"
The man behind him couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Lingyi didn't smile, turned his head and glanced at him coldly, then looked back at him, and said with a smile: "This sister, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." ”
The woman only thought that she was referring to the price, sincerely lowered the price, and whispered: "Brother, you will be cheaper, right?" Or, how about ten taels of silver? Sister is worthy of you, right? Isn't it just one night? Are you accommodating? ”
Ten taels of gold turned into ten taels of silver, this price is not a star and a half, and she just wants to respond to Helian Che, who told him to deliberately mention those shameful things? But I didn't expect this woman to really bargain with her, making her look like an old bustard in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou.
This time, not only Ye Lingyi's brows jumped, but even Helian Che's face was not much better.
Discuss my selling price in front of me, when he is in the skin business? What's even more infuriating is that he is actually worth ten taels?
As if sensing the low pressure behind him, Ye Lingyi immediately learned from the unscrupulous black businessman, and reprimanded loudly: "I don't have money to say so much, this, isn't this a waste of effort!" ”
After saying that, he hugged the rabbit with one hand, took the hand of the man behind him with one hand, and pushed away several people and walked forward "angrily".
The woman was left behind, bored, and dispersed on her own.
"What were you doing?" A man asked knowingly with a black face.
Ye Lingyi was weak-hearted, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and turned back with a smile: "The current woman is really bold!" openly molested a man from a good family! ”
Helian Che broke free of her hand, stood still, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed bold. ”
One sentence is very meaningful.
Ye Lingyi felt a chill in her back for no reason, her brain turned quickly, and she suddenly remembered something.
"That's right!" Temporarily stuffing the little white rabbit into his hand, Ye Lingyi took out a dark blue sword spike from his arms, and took the initiative to wrap his sword around Helian Che's eager sight.
"Alright!"
It wasn't until the hanging was completed that he was satisfied with his hand and retrieved the rabbit.
"This is ......" The big hand scooped up the sword spike, and the two inky blue spikes were each tied with a white glass bead, tied together, and the top was a simple snake knot.
Ye Lingyi touched her nose and said a little embarrassed: "This is what I learned from Le Ya, because the time was too rushed, so I only made such a simple one, I know that you are a noble son, you don't lack anything, and I have nothing to give you......"
Looked at his face.
Seeing that he lowered his head and carefully observed Jian Sui, but did not speak for a long time, Ye Lingyi thought that he thought that the gift was too shabby, and in embarrassment, he hurriedly said: "If you don't like it, I'll think about something else!" ”
Reaching out to retrieve it, he didn't think about it but pounced.
Helian Che maintained a dodging posture, raised his head, shook his sword spike, and said with a smile: "I think this gift is much more precious than ordinary mundane things, if you are not satisfied, why don't you give me another gift?" ”
"What?" Ye Lingyi hesitated slightly, "What do you want?" ”
A cunning appeared in the man's dark pupils, his thin lips were close to his ear, and he only said one word: "You! ”
Ye Lingyi's mind was in a daze, his face instantly turned red like a soldering iron, he subconsciously took a step back, looked at his wicked smile, and then remembered the situation in bed that day, and suddenly fell into a blank.
Unexpectedly, it was at this time that the juggling team on stilts and breathing fire paraded here.
Ye Lingyi didn't check, he was startled by the flames that suddenly rushed in front of him, and he leaned back, looking like he was about to fall.
"Green kite!" The pupils behind the half-mask suddenly constricted, and his expression was solemn, ignoring the fire spewing from the juggler's mouth, he stretched out his hand, but was separated by the crowd that suddenly increased the congestion with the juggling team.
The flames engulfed the slender figure.
At the moment when Ye Lingyi thought that she was about to fall and be trampled into a hornet's nest, a pair of warm big hands silently supported her back.
The juggler's flames are raging.
Ye Lingyi turned his head slowly, and saw a handsome man in the bright fire, wearing a navy blue and crimson clothes, wheat-colored skin, black hair divided into upper and lower parts, and the upper hair was tied, mixed with a few strange whips, fixed with gilt.
I don't know why, this man, looks like he's seen it somewhere.
The man's eyes were also enlarged because of her, and his eyes were full of surprise, as if he didn't expect to meet her here.
