Volume 1 The First Entry into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 7 Alnaqi
No matter how stupid Li Muhong is, he gradually understands the difference between himself and others, seeing the woman like this, he can only buckle his head and ask with a smile.
"Don't know what?"
This attempt to ease the embarrassment did not work, but made the woman even more helpless, and stammered.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that there's no one in the store today, you're the first."
The bull's explanation of the horse's mouth made the woman herself a little embarrassed, and if she could, she might dig a hole and get into it, which was too embarrassing.
From the contempt at the beginning, to the love at first sight now, the woman who fought with these two levels of reversal was caught off guard and completely out of proportion.
I have to say that Li Muhong can even do nothing, and he can eat all over the world with this face alone.
The woman didn't wait for Li Muhong to speak again, quickly diverted the topic, and continued.
"I've never seen you in Yuancheng before, are you from out of town?"
Seeing that the woman diverted the topic, Li Muhong also breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
"Well, we just arrived in Yuancheng today."
After saying this, Li Muhong was suddenly stunned, and then remembered that Xu Bin had disappeared without knowing when.
It turned out that after Xu Bin changed his clothes not long ago, he had already sneaked through the window and ran, which was commonplace for him, after all, Xu Bin knew very well that with the little broken silver in his hand now, he couldn't afford to buy that dress at all.
Li Muhong, who came back to his senses, immediately prepared to run away, and smiled apologetically at the woman.
"I'm sorry, my senior brother should have left just now, I have to go to him and say goodbye."
Looking at Li Muhong, who was about to go out, the woman was anxious and hurriedly shouted.
"Don't go yet!"
After Li Muhong was shouted, cold sweat flowed out, and he panicked directly, thinking in his heart.
"Could it be that it was discovered? Want me to pay? The money is all on my brother, and I can't take out a penny! ”
He wanted to think about it, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked pretending to be calm.
"I wonder what else is going on with the girl?"
The women of the Hu people are far more direct and bold than the women of the Han people, this may be a gift from the grassland, she has long forgotten the existence of Xu Bin at this time, and just wants to hold Li Muhong in her hands, and said loudly.
"I'll go with you!"
When Li Muhong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't ask him for money, but then he was even less calm, how dare he let this Hu woman follow him, if he saw the clothes Xu Bin was wearing, it would be so embarrassing, so he had to say hard.
"Miss Xie is kind, but how dare you bother the girl so much."
But this did not discourage the woman, but only made her feel that Li Muhong was a gentleman and gentle, and she strengthened her inner thoughts.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not troublesome, there is no one in the store in the past two days, when I close, I'll go with you to find your senior brother, and take you around Yuancheng by the way, I know this place very well."
After speaking, he directly took the lock and hat, walked to the door, and beckoned Li Muhong to go out.
Seeing this coherent movement, the corners of Li Muhong's mouth twitched, knowing that it was futile to resist again, and he could only reluctantly accept the ravages of life.
In fact, Xu Bin didn't go far, just hid in a corner across the street and waited, waiting to pick up Li Muhong, but when he saw Li Muhong and the woman walking out side by side, his eyes were about to pop out, and he muttered in his mouth.
"Damn, I underestimated you kid, and I actually took down the boss lady!"
Seeing this situation, Xu Bin no longer worried about Li Muhong, walked out of the corner, gave him a thumbs up, and then turned around and walked away.
The woman's mind was all on Li Muhong at this time, and she didn't notice Xu Bin not far away at all, and just threw out the topics in her mind one by one.
And Li Muhong saw Xu Bin's gesture, and the corners of his mouth twitched again, he was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.
Time flies quickly, and the sun is about to set in the blink of an eye, Li Muhong chatted with the woman for a long time and knew her identity.
Her name is Al Naqi, although she is a side branch, but because she has a good relationship with the third daughter of the head of the Ale family, she manages the cloth shop for the family, and there is no business in the store for a year, basically just to support a pomp and circumstance, and customize dresses for the nobles.
"Where did your senior brother go, I haven't found it for a long time, it's getting dark, otherwise we'll look for it tomorrow, let's go to dinner first."
Alenaki looked tired on the surface, but in fact, her heart was already happy, and she thought.
"This is the opportunity given to me by the goddess, I must take him down tonight!"
But Li Muhong looked embarrassed at this time, so he was wearing a hat on his head, and others couldn't see it, thinking.
"I'll take you around, and I'll find a ghost."
Then he said helplessly.
"Alright then, let's go get something to eat and find it tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, Al Naqi happily took Li Muhong's little hand and said as she walked.
"Let's go, go to my house and cook you a delicious meal, sister, my craftsmanship is a must."
"Huh? Isn't that good for going to your house? ”
Li Muhong was a little flustered, this was the first time he was invited to his home by others, and he was dragged by a beautiful girl holding his hand.
"What's wrong, you just said that the money on your body is all on your senior brother, if you don't go to my house, it will be difficult to drink the northwest wind."
Li Muhong was instantly embarrassed, he really didn't know where Xu Bin was, if he didn't go to eat it, he might really have to drink the northwest wind.
At the same time, in the big mansion of the Ale family, Aleyeru was resting on Sun Bilan's lap, playing with her hair, like a pair of lovers in love.
But the difference is that Aleyale's face has an innocent smile like a child.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door.
When he heard the knock, he returned to his previous appearance and got up and asked.
"What?"
"Mr. Zhao had an accident yesterday, and there are five thugs, none of whom survived, and the pair of hunters and father and daughter are nowhere to be found."
The man who knocked on the door did not come in, but preached through the door.
Only then did Aleyeru remember that the day before yesterday he had seen a little girl on the street, and he wanted to bring it back, but he robbed her father halfway.
"Death is death, and you can't catch anyone, so what's the use of them? Don't worry about the hunter father and daughter, by the way, you send someone to find a person named Sun Youwei. ”
With a new plaything, Alye Yelu no longer cares about the hunter's father and daughter, and as for the life of the next person, it is not worth much in his eyes, and now he only has the "little rabbit" next to him in his heart, so he wants to find Sun Youwei to "test" her.
"Yes."
After the man outside the door finished speaking, he turned and left, neatly and without the slightest nonsense.
Aleyeru didn't avoid Sun Bilan just now, so that she heard this conversation clearly, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
Feeling the trembling of the "little rabbit" next to her, Ale Yeru stroked her hair and said.
"He doesn't care if you live or die, why do you care about him?"
Aleyeru didn't give Sun Bilan a chance to speak, and continued.
"I hope you won't let me down."
Alenaki was not qualified to live in a big mansion, so she had to find a courtyard house in the city, although it was not very big, but it was not very far from the cloth shop, and it was very convenient to come and go, but she lived alone in the courtyard, which seemed a little empty.
Alenaqi's cooking skills are very good, at least for Li Muhong, he has not eaten a decent meal since he left Xiaoni Village, so that this meal is extraordinarily delicious.
Seeing that Li Muhong had nothing left, Alenaqi felt that she had more opportunities, remembering that the Han people have such an old saying, if you want to capture a man's heart, you have to grab a man's stomach.
"It's delicious, thank you."
Li Muhong wiped his mouth and said.
"It's okay, little meaning, if you still want to eat in the future, I'll make it for you at any time."
Alenaki held her chin with her hand, and the spring in her eyes slowly flowed out.
This round-the-turn confession made Li Muhong a little unresponsive for a while, so he could only pretend not to understand and smiled.
"How can he let the girl take such care of her."
"It's okay, I'm willing."
How could Alena Qi give up so easily, without waiting for Li Muhong to reply, he put away the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the kitchen, turned back to Li Muhong and smiled at Li Muhong before going out, and said.
"I'll wash the dishes, you sit down for a while."
Li Muhong was helpless in his heart, although he also thought about leaving while she was away, but he had just eaten other people's food, if he left like this, what was the difference between him and Deng's disciple.
But what really made him reluctant to go was actually a piano that was placed on the side coffee table, this piano just looked at it, he knew that it was precious, he had not played the piano for a long time, and today he saw it again, his hands were itchy, and his heart was even more itchy.
After a while, the beautiful melody reached Alnaqi's ears, and she had just finished washing the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go back to her room, but she unconsciously stopped when she heard the sound.
She didn't know how to play the piano, but anyone could hear the sorrow in it, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and she froze in place, and Al Naqi stood quietly for a few minutes, waiting for the sound of the piano to cease before entering the house.
Seeing Arena Qi walking in, Li Muhong smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I can't help but mess with your things without your consent."
"It's okay, it's okay, you can play it if you want, I won't play it anyway, I just put it on, but what kind of tune are you playing, it's the first time I've heard such a poignant melody."
Alenaqi asked while moving a small bench and sat opposite Li Muhong, like a studious student, listening carefully to the teacher's lecture.
"This is what my mother taught me, the song is called 'Homesickness', I used to feel wrong when I played it, but after I left home, I understood the sourness, so I could play it well."
Li Muhong said, and his thoughts drifted back, drifting back to Xiaoni Village, to those small houses, and to the evergreen tree at the door.
Emotions can be transmitted, and they can always affect everyone inadvertently, and Alenaqi is no exception, she looked at Li Muhong's face full of thoughts and sadness, and she also recalled her deceased parents, and then the two began a long silence.
After a long time, Li Muhong came back to his senses first, looked at Arena Qi who lowered his head and stopped talking, and said guiltily.
"I'm really sorry, it seems to remind you of something unhappy."
Hearing Li Muhong speak, Alena Qi reacted and hurriedly said.
"Huh? No, you play it very well, can you play it again, but you have to be happier. ”
"Okay, no problem."
This time, the song is really much happier than the previous one, and it is the kind that is so popular that Alenaki also hummed along, and the two of them just played and sang like this, so uncomfortable.
After changing four or five tunes one after another, the happy Alenaki gradually let go, and directly brought a jar of wine from the cabinet, saying.
"Come on, come on, good sound with good wine, let's take two sips."
The image of the Hu people in the eyes of the Han people is actually not very good, and it can even be said to be disgusting, after all, it involves racial hatred, which is understandable.
Alnaqi's enthusiasm and heroism really frightened Li Muhong, making his original stereotype of the entire Hu people a little improved, and the only remaining estrangement between the two quietly disappeared.
"The girl is bold, but she is really not strong enough to drink."
These words made Alenaki not very happy, so she pulled out the stopper with a snap, brought two large bowls, filled them with them, and then directly killed the bowl in front of her, wiped her mouth, and said.
"If you don't drink it today, you won't give me face for Alnaqi!"
