Chapter 104: Maruko and Xiaoqing
If it weren't for Su Suxun's mention of going to visit the lanterns, they wouldn't know about the Lantern Festival.
Today is still the Lantern Festival, the lanterns render the whole of Kyoto one by one, fireworks bloom all over the sky, it is really the east wind night to release a thousand flowers and trees, more like rain, the stars are scattered.
Xiaoqing followed Xiaozhi and Su Suxun, and soon felt that he had become a light bulb.
"Wow! That lantern is so beautiful! Xiao Zhi pointed to a lotus lake lantern in front of him and sighed.
"Do you want it! Walk! I'll buy it for you! Su Suxun said to Xiaozhi.
Xiao Zhi nodded, then looked at Xiao Qing and asked, "You and we can choose one!" “
"Huh?" Xiaoqing was looking at a young man in Tsing Yi in the distance, that person was a bit like a pill, but Xiaoqing felt that it was unlikely, because she felt that the pill should not be interested in these lanterns and the like, and then was pulled back to reality by Xiaozhi's questioning.
Xiao Zhi and Su Suxun were waiting for Xiao Qing's answer.
Xiaoqing thought for a moment and decided not to disturb the lovers, so she said, "I want to go to the Thousand Flower Lantern Temple over there to pray for the young lady, you guys go!" ”
Xiao Zhi said: "Then let's go with you first!" ”
"Thank you Xiaozhi for your kindness, I'm fine, you guys go play! I'll be fine, I'll come to you right when I'm done praying, we're not far away anyway! ”
Xiao Zhi glanced at Su Suxun and hesitated: "Okay then!" ”
Su Suxun also said to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing on the road, don't run too far." ”
"Good!" Xiaoqing nodded.
She was still thinking about the figure of the young man in Tsing Yi just now, although the possibility of being a ball was very small, but some kind of force in the dark was pulling her in the direction of the young man in Tsing Yi, maybe just to see the young man's face clearly, people are always full of curiosity about the appearance of strangers.
There are a lot of people in the lantern temple, the incense is vigorous, the tourists are endless, the young man in Tsing Yi stands under a Bodhi tree full of blessing knots and red wishes, Bodhi has already withered, but the red wishes that people hang on the tree for decades are still blooming on the tree, like a prosperous tree, some branches still hang small lanterns, in the night like a lantern floating on the tree, gorgeous and charming, the young man stands under the tree, slender figure, slender fingers, is hanging the blessing lantern in his hand under a branch, extremely focused, But he turned his back to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing walked in step by step to see the young man.
At this moment, a burly strong man suddenly rushed forward, followed by a group of people shouting: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief!! ”
However, the strong man was galloping towards Xiaoqing's location, because the man was tall and big, very strong, one step at a time, it could be called a mountain shaking, the people around screamed and exclaimed, hurriedly dodged, and couldn't avoid it, for fear of being hit by the big man, he fell on all fours, his whole body was fractured, and everyone retreated to both sides.
Xiao Qing was frightened for a while, and watched with wide eyes as the big man rushed towards him, Xiao Qing believed that if the strong man went towards Bodhi behind him, he would be able to break the Bodhi alive.
"Ahh Ahhh Xiaoqing screamed at this time, and closed her eyes while screaming.
With a loud "bang", the strong man screamed, the sound was rough like a tiger's roar, accompanied by the sound of countless porcelain shattering around, the people around him changed from exclamation to sigh, the strong man was hit in the leg by a boulder flying from the sky, and fell straight towards Xiaoqing, like a huge stone sculpture, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, and they felt that the girl was probably about to be sent to the hospital today.
Unexpectedly, a young man in black came suddenly, and the shock flew by, Xiaoqing only felt that his body was light, and the strong man instantly became a lot smaller in his field of vision, and when he came to his senses, he found that someone was holding his waist and retreating a few feet away.
All the people, looking at the girls who were hit by strong men, were relieved to be rescued, and some people couldn't help but applaud and applaud!
"Master, master!"
"This kid is amazing!!"
“......”
Xiaoqing didn't know who was saving him, but the man quickly let her go.
She turned her head to thank her.
The man smiled and replied first, "No thanks! ”
Xiaoqing was surprised: "It's you who make the ball!" ”
Maruko nodded and said, "You scared me to death!" ”
"Thanks to you, I'm fine!"
Xiaoqing and Maruko both turned to look at the big man who fell to the ground behind them, everyone surrounded him, and a middle-aged man climbed on his back, pressed his hands behind him, and wrapped them around with hemp rope.
Unexpectedly, after the pill just finished saying this, the big man on the ground stared at the pill with his teeth grinning, and his eyes suddenly glowed red, and the tiger teeth on the left and right sides instantly grew several times, like mushrooms after a rain, and quickly and frantically broke out of the ground.
However, no one behind him had noticed the strange phenomenon in the strong man's eyes, and only Maruko and Xiaoqing saw this unusual scene.
The smile on Maruko's face faded like a tide, and he immediately said, "Be careful! There are demons! But his voice was not loud,
"What?!" Xiaoqing's face quickly turned pale.
Maruko stepped forward and stood in front of Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing looked at Maruko's back, although she was a little thin, but she felt that Maruko seemed to be the bravest man in the world, as long as Maruko was there, he would be fearless in his heart.
Some people were still throwing rotten fruits and vegetables at the strong man, and several men punched and kicked the strong man who fell to the ground, no one noticed that the faint red light in the man's eyes was gradually getting stronger, his expression was becoming more and more hideous, and his mouth made a sound similar to that of a beast.
"Everyone, get out of the way!! Get out of the way!! Maruko yelled at them.
Those people heard Maruko's warning, because the brilliant scene of Maruko Kazuo saving the beauty made everyone remember this young man, his words were very authoritative, and most of them were still at a loss, but they all backed away.
There are only a few young and vigorous boys, who want to be in the limelight and take advantage of the prestige, and they don't plan to withdraw immediately.
In order to prove their bravery in front of everyone, one of the little boys in gold and silver arrogantly scolded the big man: "Your hands and feet are not clean!" I'm not going to beat you all over the ground today! None of you care about me today, and you kid don't care about me! He stole my wallet! I didn't break his leg, it's already merciful! ”
The two slaves next to him chimed in: "If it weren't for our master being blocked by passers-by, you would have eight legs, and you would have to be cut into a man!" ”
"That's it, you bastard, you have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, and you dare to bully Uncle Ben! It's so tired! Today, I don't do the right thing for heaven, become evil and promote good, cut you bastard, I have lived in vain for the past 16 years!! He said as he kicked the big man with his foot.
The people around didn't know the situation, so they echoed: "That's it!" Slaughter him, slaughter him!! ”
"But, he, he, he" Xiaoqing didn't come out of him for a long time.
Maruko took a few steps back, reached out and shook Xiaoqing's hand.
Xiaoqing's heart couldn't help but speed up, she looked up, just in time to see the side face of the ball, her eyes were shining under the reflection of the lights, the eyebrows were sparkling and flickering, the eyebrows were slanted upward, the eyes were narrow and long, and the face that was originally a little childish, showing a bit of mature and masculine coldness and calmness, dressed in black, showing the upright posture of a young man, he held Xiaoqing's hand with great strength, but Xiaoqing's heart fell a beat, why?
She couldn't help but compare Su Suxuan with him in her heart, Maruki was not as tall as Su Suxuan, and she was not so thin, but in her heart, Maruki was unique and irreplaceable, but she had an inferiority complex in the shadows.
This young man is the younger brother of his own young lady, they have a noble status, and she herself is just a little maid, how can a maid crave the love of her master...... Love.
But what did he do...... Isn't it just protecting yourself?
"You stammer, you can't even speak clearly, shut up for me!" The slave maid relied on the momentum of their master and said to Xiaoqing arrogantly.
Xiaoqing was scolded by the man for a while, although she was angry in her heart, in order to focus on the overall situation and not breed other incidents, she could only endure it.
Xiaoqing held back, and Maruko looked at the slave on the other side, but her expression became cold.
Maruko tightened Xiaoqing's hand, and let go after a while, Xiaoqing only felt that after Maruko let go, his palm was empty, and he said softly to Xiaoqing: "You wait here." ”
"Huh? Good! Xiaoqing nodded reluctantly.
Maruko stepped forward, his voice as cold as ice at the bottom of the sea: "You can try it again?" ”
The man saw Maruko and Xiaoqing, dressed ordinarily, and they were not rich and noble, and at first glance, they were not at the same level as the young master of their family, and they were not even characters, he didn't take the two of them in his eyes at all, and reiterated again: "What's wrong with me saying that he stuttered?!" His eyes were fierce and showed no weakness.
"Bring me the whip, and you all step away! I'll teach this big guy a lesson, don't blame me for hurting you by mistake! The young "uncle" was tired of kicking, gasped, rolled up his sleeves on both sides, and another slave quickly took off the rattan whip from his waist and offered it with both hands.
"Young Master, please!"
Maruko sneered twice: "Okay! Don't beg me to save you! ”
At this time, the pill pinched a trick, the shadow of the tree shook, the wind lamp swayed, and everyone found out that it was abnormal, the big man who was tied to the ground, his body was controlled by some unknown force, and he was rising little by little, he was originally lying on his back, and his hands were still tied behind his back, and his upper body was suspended from the ground, but the three teenagers on his back, because of the pleasure of eliminating evil, everyone was in the spotlight, and they were unconscious.
