Chapter 15: Seven Summers
"After all, it is the main way for Ye Ye City to obtain the necessities of the Holy Lake and exchange magical goods." Lan Che said with a smile, this aristocratic girl surnamed Lan not only did not have a little arrogance, but knew very well: "Mute is to not disturb the silence in the city, and the forbidden air and weakening are also necessary to prevent violent conflicts." ”
"Even if I knew, I would have a headache." Ye Qing shook his head, took Ge Sheng's hand and rushed into the shimmering entrance.
Beyond the entrance, there is the silent and calm city of ice and snow, the streets are empty and silent.
In the entrance, the spicy and spicy aroma of barbecue came to the face, and the shouts and shouts suddenly exploded in the ears.
It seems that only here is the summer heat revealed.
Ye Qing stood at the entrance of the West Market, looking at the scene in front of him and was a little stunned.
What a noisy and bustling market, and in front of you is an exaggeratedly large open space, with hundreds of stalls lined up at the moment.
On the outermost stalls, fruits, vegetables, seafood, birds and poultry are sold, and these ingredients and seasonal fruits are sealed in ice cubes and placed on the three shelves, behind which the stall owners shout loudly to boast about the freshness and deliciousness of their goods.
A little farther away are the stalls of weapons and armor, and the crude Proto-Demonic Beasts placed together, which have been simply cleaned and packed in arbor boxes, waiting to be picked by those who know the goods. There are also the furs and horns of the monsters, most of which have been simply nitrated, and the scales of the beasts are stacked in a box of purple shinowood, which is a good choice for making armor.
Next to the armor are rows of green herbs, brown roots still stained with early summer mud, and fat tubers are dried and sliced for sale.
Everything that should be, everything that is there.
Ye Qing looked at the seemingly chaotic market in front of her, and with sharp eyes, she saw the extremely thin white lines under those stalls at a glance.
These delicate lines map out the location of each type of stall, and while there are no gaps in each stall connection, the aisles between the rows are extremely unobstructed for pedestrians to walk around.
When Ye Qing looked at it from the perspective of a princess, he felt sincere admiration for the managers of this market.
Then the blue-haired little girl who was Ye Xiaojiu turned around, her white little face was flushed with excitement, and she clenched her fists and waved: "Great!" ”
"I love this kind of lively place the most!"
There are fixed stalls selling drinks and snacks on the periphery, and Ge Sheng consciously bought chilled fresh fruit juice and rock sugar for the two girls. Ye Qing naturally took it and didn't mention it, Lan Che wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw Ge Sheng's clear and dark eyes, he suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, reached out and bowed his head to thank him.
Rock sugar is made by cutting fresh fruits into pieces and dipping them in rock sugar, which is more interesting because of the different combinations of fruits, so it is difficult for you to eat the exact same taste. It's cheap, and it only costs one copper.
Ye Qing quickly bought herself five catties of fresh Ruoguo, and this was her own small treasury - although Ye Xiaojiu did not have the financial resources of the ninth princess Ye Qing, but as the mascot Ye Xiaojiu, who had been setting up a stall in Lanyin City for two years, she was also a little rich woman who could not be underestimated.
Although it is not much, due to the embarrassing factor of zero cost, there are still seven or eight golden leaf grasses that are worth Ye Qing. The income from one's own labor naturally has a clear conscience.
Of course, she was the one who paid the money, but the person who Tiruogo was naturally not her.
Although Ge Sheng packed the ticket, Ye Xiaojiu, who also cultivated for a thousand tribulations, had no pressure to mention five hundred catties, but Xiao Jiu said: "This is the most basic obligation for my brother to accompany my sister to go shopping!" Then he called back Ge Sheng and protested.
"What a blessing it is to have such an obligation." Lan Che smiled and gave an evaluation.
Ye Qing walked to the weapons and miscellaneous stall for a while, sometimes picking up the long sword inlaid with gems to split Mount Tai, and sometimes reaching out to touch the snow-patterned lion's shiny and silky blank - it should be noted that the white cat Fengying was still on her shoulder, and licked her paws disdainfully.
It's just that when the little girl curiously licked the thinly sliced ice ginseng slices, her pink tongue was stung by the spicy taste, and she burst into tears without looking back, despite the stall owner's triumphant boasting of her genuine goods.
Naturally, he doesn't buy it, and Ye Qing has the essence of shopping for this.
In such a run, Ye Qing crashed into a person's arms.
So Ye Qing hurriedly pushed the person away, and was about to apologize, when he was suddenly stunned.
Because the other party has red hair and eyes, he is a tall and thin boy.
Just as Ge Sheng and Lan Che were trotting over, Ye Qing took a small step back and said in surprise:
"Qianmo?"
How can it be?
"What a pretty little girl." The man stared at Ye Qingbing's carved face and smiled, "Is anyone chasing you?" ”
He had long shoulder-length flaming red hair and fiery red eyes, and this man seemed to be the elder brother of the Third Highness, with similar hair color and eyes.
To be precise, it is very similar to Qianmo, who disappeared without a trace after mysteriously appearing in the City of Eternal Night two years ago.
He is very good-looking, Ye Qing looked at it with his eyes up, and said in his heart.
The eyebrows are handsome and gentle, the nose is high and straight, the lips are slender and thin, coupled with the complexion as white as the full moon and the modest smile that seems to be absent, it can really fascinate the spring girl in the world.
It really looks like that Qianmo.
Ye Qing took two more steps back, and really felt that this portrait had been seen somewhere: "Excuse me, are you Qianmo?" ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to cover his face under his nose, revealing only a pair of bright red eyes.
Because this is the only appearance that Qianmo left her at the beginning.
It was a pair of indifferent and gentle, calm and curious eyes, shining as bright as blood amber.
It's not like that Qianmo.
"I'm sorry." Ye Qing shook his head in disappointment and said quickly: "I recognized the wrong person, you are very similar to a friend of mine." ”
The red-haired man smiled, "Do you look like me?" I'm really interested. ”
"Seven summers, seven summers, are you interested in making friends?"
Ye Qing touched his nose and repeated, "Seven Summers? ”
"Is it 'Seven Summers'?" Lan Che spoke aside, and then recited the widely circulated verse:
"The first summer I met you, it was you and I was young, and the thrush pecked at my eyebrows."
"I met you the next summer, when you were smiling and green wicker brushed the corners of your eyes."
"I fell in love with you in the third summer, and I was so proud that I held the fawn and didn't let it bounce."
Ye Qing tilted his head and blurted out the poem melodious: "I kissed you in the fourth summer, when the sky was just right, and the sun was warm and I couldn't forget your taste." “
"I left you in the fifth summer, and I was in a terrible mood at that time, with wind and rain but without your hug."
Qixia continued to read softly, his eyebrows warm: "I forgot you in the sixth summer, when the moonlight was shining, and he knelt at my feet to accompany me to the end of the world." :
"I found you in the seventh summer, when the green Ge was in full bloom, and I gently placed a handful of bluegrass in front of your grave."
