Chapter 34: Stay Alive
The streets and alleys of Xunyang City are very lively.
The beautiful goods make people dizzy and chaotic, and they are overwhelmed; the sound of sales one after another does not stop in the ears; and the fragrance that comes to the nose makes people return to the infinite taste.
Di Qiyao walked in the crowd, didn't do anything to hang out, turned a few streets, and went back to the inn where he rested, and not long after he returned to the inn, Di Chen and the others who had gone out earlier also came back one after another.
"Dad, how's it going?"
As soon as he saw Di Chen and them returning, Di Qiyao couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, it's okay, the selling price is not bad. Dichen nodded with a smile, looking at this appearance, he was obviously extremely satisfied.
The emperor family on the side also smiled and nodded.
"By the way, I just ordered some food, so let's eat it here. ”
"Good. ”
.........
"This is the last day of the year, Xunyang City is lively, after dinner, Dad will take you out for a walk. God Chen said.
"Okay. Di Qiyao was overjoyed, ate some food again, cleaned up briefly, and then left the inn with Di Chen.
At this time, Xunyang City has obviously changed its appearance, the sky is getting dark, the streets are lit up on both sides, draped in red and green, and strings of colorful balloons and banners are floating everywhere. There is a central lake in the city, and many people are boating on the lake, either family members, lovers, or people standing in the restaurants on both sides of the lake shore to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"It's beautiful. Emperor Qiyao and Emperor Chen walked here, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the lake and in the lake, the whole person was extremely comfortable.
"It's a pity that your mother isn't here. Di Chen said softly, Di Qiyao glanced at him, he could feel his father's sentimentality, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Daddy, let's go over there!" Emperor Qiyao could only change the topic and point to a lively place.
"Hmm. Dichen nodded slightly, and the father and son walked into the flow of people.
The various activities along the way are truly fantastical. Worship ancestors and gods, firecrackers, gongs and drums, Yangge dry boats, dragon and lion dances, small dramas, stilt fires, floats and parades, the atmosphere of the last day of the year-end is in full swing, in the meantime, it really makes people have to forget the pain and regret in the world for a while.
Finally at night, it was completely dark. There was a loud bang, and everyone knew that the fireworks show was about to begin.
A large firework explodes in the night sky, and it is full of light. The sparks sparsely sparkled around, and then disappeared again. A moment of beauty, a moment of brilliance!
"Whoa!"
Then there were a few dull sounds, one by one fireworks dragged the red Martian tail into the night sky, a few crisp sounds, the night sky bloomed a few beautiful flowers, like a goddess descending to earth, dancing, carrying a basket of flowers, picking flowers, holding a pipa, plucking silver strings. The fireworks rise in a colorful way, lining the sky beautifully.
"Qiyao, Dad is a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the inn first. ”
"I'll go back with my father. ”
"No, it's rare to enter the city, it's a good day, you play again, I... I want to be alone!"
"That.... Okay, daddy be careful on the road, I'll go back when I transfer. ”
"Good!"
Looking at his father's somewhat lonely figure gradually moving away, Di Qiyao had a deep sense of powerlessness in addition to heartache, he had always thought that as long as he continued to get stronger, his father would be happy. But at this time, he realized that what his father wanted was very simple, but he couldn't do it.
When the fireworks are empty, there is no intention to appreciate, and the scenery of the street is unbearable.
Emperor Qiyao was upset, so he slowly advanced with the flow of people. A moment later, as we passed a street corner, there seemed to be a group of people gathered around the side of the road, pointing and talking something.
After being stunned for a moment, Emperor Qiyao still stepped forward and walked into the crowd.
I saw a woman in plain clothes, plain clothes, and a plain crown kneeling on the side of the road, and the woman's green hair covered her face.
Loose and fat plain clothes, made of the coarsest raw linen, do not sew the edges, only tie it with a thick rope. It also covers the woman's delicate body, and it is impossible to distinguish the woman's age and posture.
In front of her, there was a piece of jute paper, on which were written in large black letters:
Sell yourself to bury your mother!
The powerful spiritual power allows Emperor Qiyao to keenly capture the sad aura inadvertently revealed by the girl.
"Tsk...... How old is the little girl, raise your head and show the master, if you look good, the grandfather will buy you back as a concubine today. ”
A middle-aged man looked at the girl kneeling on the ground.
This person was dressed in a red gold trimmed bamboo robe, the cuffs of the robe were embroidered with a few green bamboos and green mans, the clouds were falling, the fat and bloated waist was tied with a dark green Qin Suyu belt, the slightly yellowed long hair was tied up high, and a pair of small eyes were embedded in a round fat face, which made him even more obscene.
"That's it, who dares to buy it without raising their heads?"
Someone followed and instigated.
"A benefactor was willing to help me bury my mother, so I raised my head. ”
The woman finally spoke, and the voice was gentle and soft, making people in the floating world, but there was a feeling of the bright moon in the sky and the breeze.
"The voice is good, it's just that you refuse to look up, you must have an ugly face, my ......"
Before the obscene and funny fat middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an equally green voice.
"Here are ten gold coins, bury your mother well, and buy some clothes for the rest, and live well." ”
Emperor Qiyao walked up to the woman and said softly.
"Hiss......"
"What did that young man come from, ten gold coins?"
"Ordinary people only spend one gold coin a year"
............
"Thank you, Childe. ”
The woman's body also trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head, but her eyes under the long hair saw the benefactor in front of her turn around.
"This lord should be from the Xunyang City City Lord's Mansion. Emperor Qiyao hugged his fist towards the crowd.
The sharp middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, looked down at his clothes, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, what advice does Xiaoyou have?"
"Don't dare, the kid just hopes that the adults can be a guarantee to protect this woman and return home safely. Emperor Qiyao hurriedly said.
"Oh, why should I help you?" the middle-aged man smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinting his eyes slightly and looking up and down at Emperor Qiyao.
"I have been hearing about Xunyang City for a long time, there are no thieves and thieves, the door is not closed at night, the people of a city, Yile is peaceful, and the Quartet is respected, all because the city lord's mansion is in charge, is there a mistake in what the kid heard?"
The streets are full of surprises!
"Tsk....this eloquence!"
"Awesome!"
The sharp middle-aged man was stunned at first, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You kid, I like it, I will take care of this girl." ”
Then the middle-aged man came to the woman, swept around, and shouted, "My name is Li Shengying, I talked to this little friend just now, and you all heard it, I have saved this woman, if there is anyone who destroys my reputation, kill!"
"What, he's Li Shengying, the captain of the third team of the City Lord's Mansion Guard."
"That Li Shengying, who is known as the Blood Slaughterer?"
"Good boy!"
.........
Hearing everyone's discussions, Emperor Qiyao was also relieved, this middle-aged man named Li Shengying also seemed to have a great reputation in Xunyang City.
He hugged his fist again towards the sharp middle-aged man: "My lord, thank you!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
Seeing that the woman's safety was solved now, Di Qiyao did not turn around and walked directly out of the crowd.
"Childe!" the gentle voice came from behind him again.
Emperor Qiyao paused: "I don't mean to despise it at all, I will make a move today, just because you and I have the same fate, I ......... I also lost my mother!"
"What?" the woman covered her small mouth slightly open in astonishment, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Oh, no wonder ........."
"This little brother is a kind man. ”
"Alas, I miss my old mother too!"
.........
The surrounding crowd was moved
After taking two more steps, Emperor Qiyao stopped again and said slowly: "Live!"
After finishing speaking, Emperor Qiyao never stopped again.
"Live... Under... Go" The woman muttered and repeated Emperor Qiyao's words, tears as if she had broken an embankment, and suddenly raised her head to look at the disappearing back.
"Hey, it's beautiful......" someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked over.
The skin is like snow, the eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when I look forward to it, I have an elegant and noble temperament, but at this time, the eyes are like breaking the embankment, but they are pitiful.
Joan's nose is upturned, her thin red lips are slightly pursed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and her smooth face is red in the white.
Originally, everyone had an idea with the obscene and fat middle-aged man, but this woman was reluctant to raise her head, and she must have been ugly.
But who would have thought that the woman was actually a beautiful embryo.
is only about fifteen years old, and it is conceivable that when the girl grows up in the future, she will be a beauty who will fall into the city and the country.
For a moment, the men around him swallowed their saliva fiercely, and their eyes showed greed.
"Hmph!" Li Shengying snorted coldly, and everyone dispelled their thoughts.
