Chapter Twenty-Six: Hiding Away Might Be Better
Yang Guo thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Brother Long, I don't think any of these clay figures can compare to you, it's enough for me to look at you." As he spoke, he dragged the dragon away from the crowd.
The appearance of the dragon is outstanding, rare in the world, if it weren't for his cold and frosty temperament, I am afraid that he would attract many onlookers. Yang Guo didn't want the dragon to be watched by others, so he was possessive, and pulled the dragon into an inn with a sullen head.
Yang said: "Brother Long, let's eat in the room." β
Long didn't know what Yang Guo was thinking, so he naturally agreed, asked the shopkeeper for an upper room, ordered food, and followed Xiao Er into the room with Yang Guo.
Yang Guo stood in front of the dragon and said to Xiao Er: "Hey, it's almost over, I'm going to collect the cash if I look at it again." β
Xiao Er is also a flamboyant person, seeing that Yang Guo is a hairy boy acting childishly, he smiled and said: "Little brother, you say, how much money you charge, I will give you all the money, let me see if it is enough." β
Yang Guo was angry, his expression became fierce, and he said to Xiao Er: "One hundred taels, do you give it or not." He clenched his fists.
Xiao Er's heart jumped with surprise from Yang Guo's eyes, and he looked at Long nervously.
Long Dao: "Don't be rude." Walking up to the two of them, he said coldly to Xiao Er: "The child is not sensible, offended, little brother, hurry up and get food." β
Xiao Er only said "sigh" and "sigh" twice, exited the door, leaned against the door panel and was afraid, and said in his heart: "That person can't do it, he doesn't even have an expression, it's too terrifying." There was a cold sweat behind his back, and he didn't dare to give birth to other offensive thoughts.
The dragon stretched out his palm and wiped it in front of Yang Guo's eyes, and said, "Come on, let's drink tea." β
Yang Guo only felt a coldness in front of him, and the anger in his heart was extinguished, so he obediently sat down at the table, and drank tea one by one. The dragon ignored him, walked to the window and looked at the crowd and the lanterns that were gradually becoming bustling outside, and he was a little fascinated.
"Gollum" "Gollum"
The dragon looked at Yang Guo.
Yang Guo swallowed the tea in his mouth, gritted his teeth and smiled: "I'll drink it, drink it well", raised the teacup and took a sip of it regularly, and peeked at the dragon's face with hanging eyes.
The dragon looked outside again.
Yang Guo pursed his lips, biting his lip and looking left and right, feeling bored. He was about to get up and go to the dragon's side to talk to something, when the guy who delivered the food arrived. This guy is not the one just now, he looks like he is gentle, but everyone has a love for beauty, and driven by curiosity, it is inevitable to peek at the dragon a few more times.
Yang Guo pulled a face to welcome people in, sent people out, and kept a cold face from beginning to end, and he looked at the young man busy without saying a word.
Yang Guo rearranged the dishes and chopsticks and called, "Brother Long, let's eat." β
The dragon said "um" lightly, walked silently, sat down on the chair lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Eat, most of them are meat dishes, you should like it." "I picked light leafy greens to eat.
Yang was too hungry for meat too early, like a hungry little wolf cub, his eyes were green, he was very eager, and he gulped down the meat and devoured it, completely ignoring his well-behaved image in front of the dragon. After he ate a few bites, he suddenly felt that his appetite was great, and there happened to be a shiny and fragrant roast chicken in front of him, so he simply put his hand on it, with a wing in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand.
The dragon reminded, "Come on." β
Yang Guo spat out the bones in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and looked at the dragon.
Long Dao: "Eat slowly, I won't rob you." β
Only then did Yang Guo notice that the dragon had not touched a mouthful of meat, and his diet was the same as in the ancient tomb, a bowl of rice and a plate of green vegetables. The most important thing is that the dragon behaves decently and cleanly, which is completely different from his oily self.
Yang Guo felt a little embarrassed, and habitually wanted to scratch his head, but suddenly remembered that his hands were full of oil flowers, and he put down his raised hand again. Yang Guo smiled at the dragon, put down his feet on the bench, straightened his sitting posture, and ate much better.
Long has always eaten little, and because of the recurrence of the old disease today, he has no appetite, after eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks, took out a white handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Yang Guo, and said to him: "Guo'er, I'll rest for a while, you clean yourself up, let's go out again." "Go to bed and meditate.
Yang Guo tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, nodded and said, "Got it, Brother Long." "Don't dare to make a sound.
Half an hour later, Long and Yang crossed into the street.
Long Dao: "Come on, buy a lantern and carry it." "Take Yang Guo to choose.
Yang said: "Brother Long, don't use it, the lanterns are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©, it's useless, I don't want it." β
The dragon asked, "Don't you really want it?" Stretched out his hand and took down a monkey-shaped lantern on the shelf, put it in Yang Guo's hand, and said, "In that case, I'll buy one for myself, and later, you can help me hold it." He handed over the money to the stall owner and pulled Yang Cheng forward.
Yang Guo carried the monkey lamp and liked it very much.
In order not to make Mu Nianci feel guilty, he never said that he wanted lanterns, never went to the lamp market, and honestly surrounded the charcoal pot with his mother, looked at the free moon in the sky, and slept when he was sleepy, and there was no fun.
After Mu Nianci's death, Yang Guo became a beggar in Jiaxing, and his life was miserable. Although he is free, he is lonely and unaccompanied during the festival, and he can only guard the grave of his parents outside the Iron Gun Temple, and he has not been happy.
And this year is different.
Yang Guo is no longer a wild child who no one wants or accompanies him, he can eat a delicious meal and get a favorite lantern like other children. Yang Guo knew that the dragon liked plain elegance and didn't like fancy things, and this lantern was bought for him. Thinking of this, Yang Guo's nose was sour, however, remembering that the dragon didn't like to cry and cry himself, he held back his tears.
No matter how many times you see it, the dragon's face still doesn't look like a real person.
Surrounded by colorful, colorful and brilliant lanterns, in the chaotic and colorful lights, the dragon was too pale, if there was a sickly face became much softer, the frost turned into mist, hazy, as if an immortal who was unwilling to show his true face in front of mortals deliberately did it.
Yang Guo suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he felt that the dragon should live in the ancient tomb, never come out, avoid the pollution of the world, and always be so dusty, ice and jade.
Maybe it's better to hide.
Long saw that Yang Guo was not walking well again, and reminded: "Guo'er, look at the road." β
Yang Guo responded, turned his head to look ahead, felt that he was acting deliberately, and said in his heart: "Brother Long is his own master, what happened to the master when he was an apprentice?" Unwillingly, he peeked again, and happened to make eye contact with the dragon.
The dragon asked, "What's wrong?" β
Yang Guo was "caught" upright, feeling a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "No, it's okay", looked to the side, casually pointed to a high-hanging lantern, and said, "Brother Long, look at that, it's hanging so high." β
Long Dao: "Yes, it's so high. β
Yang Guo said again: "Brother Long, look, the moon has come out, it's really round." β
Long said: "Well, it's really round." β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
Yang Guo scratched his head, distressed: "How can we continue to talk about this?" Searching for things around that could provoke a topic, he noticed the reaction of the people around him when he saw the dragon, and suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel that there are not many people in today's lamp market, and it is not crowded at all, it turns out that it is because I saw that Brother Long has retreated to the side." Yang Guo felt that things were a little delicate, and thought: "That's fine, Brother Long is cold, and he refuses people thousands of miles on the surface, lest someone come to rob him, just know his goodness." β
Yang Guo was overjoyed, but he couldn't get his wish.
"Aunt Li, when did such an outstanding character come to our town, do you know which one?"
"Maybe it's a new move, I haven't seen it before."
"Oh, look at that look, it's really likely, you see the big girls and little daughters-in-law around you have straight eyes."
"Yes, alas, why don't we go up and ask, in recent days, outside of Zhou Yuan, Lord Liu's family is picking a son-in-law, if we can leave people, we will make a great contribution."
"I think it's okay, it's just, it doesn't look like it's easy to mess with, if it's a big shot, it's not good for us to offend it."
"Don't worry, I didn't see that people were leading my brother out, I can be so good to my brother, how bad can my character be, let's just ask, not rob people."
"That's it, let's go."
"Go"
Yang Guo glanced at the two women who were trying to make their way through the crowd and looked up at the dragon. He already has some martial arts foundation, his ears and eyes are much more sensitive than before, and what he can hear, the dragon can naturally hear. Yang Guo was glad that the dragon turned a deaf ear to everything around him, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Yang Guo tugged on the dragon's arm and said to him, "Brother Long, I'm tired, let's go back and rest." β
The dragon asked, "Don't want to see it?" β
Yang Guo is lively by nature, why don't he suddenly like to be lively. Long couldn't have imagined that Yang Guo would have such a great desire for exclusivity for him at a young age, and he would not associate some of Yang Guo's abnormal behavior with the words of the two women.
Yang said: "Well, Brother Long, there's nothing to see here, it's the same when you walk around, let's go back, I've seen enough." He pulled the dragon back and passed by the two women.
After returning to the inn, Yang Guo breathed a sigh of relief and was a little proud.
The dragon went down the mountain to make Yang Guo happy, he was not interested in what he did or what he watched, it was completely according to Yang Guo's meaning, since Yang Guo was willing to stay in the house, he would accompany him safely.
Long said: "Come on, you go to bed and sleep." As he spoke, he took out a rope with steel nails at both ends, flicked it seemingly lightly, fixed the rope between the beams and columns, and lay down.
When he was in the ancient tomb, Long practiced on the cold jade bed in order to take care of Yang Guo, and he also rested like this at night, so Yang Guo was not surprised to see it. In fact, he also learned the kung fu of sleeping on the rope, but because he was impetuous, he couldn't do it like water, and sometimes he would fall off when he fell asleep.
Yang Guo proposed to come back to rest because he was impulsive, where did he really want to rest, but he saw that the dragon had already slept, and he couldn't toss anymore, so he had to blow out the candle, climb into bed, and be blinded.
In the middle of the night, Yang got up and relieved. When he saw that the dragon was missing from the rope, he panicked and ran out to look for it.
Yang Guo stood at the top of the stairs and called, "Brother Long." β
In the lobby downstairs, the lights are bright, there are many people, and the dragon is among them.
