Chapter 24 Jiancheng Splendor
I was very surprised that she could let me see my brother and them, so she could also cast a spell to find my whereabouts, Mei Xiya explained, the relationship may be looking for something more valuable than me, after all, I am a wish fruit, she will not let me go.
Yes, it could be something else that lured her away.
We left Heshun Town, and when we were in Heshun Town, we took two discarded BMWs with us, and the white dog was about half the size of a horse, so it was easy for it to keep up with us.
Hurried overnight, and soon arrived at the county seat, which was on the cusp of the storm, and two rows of soldiers stood side by side outside the city gate, checking the people who had left the city one by one.
I tightened the reins of my horse, and after a few steps the horse had gone out, it quickly stopped, and Mexia shouted with it, and the horse under her seat struggled to stop, and it was not long before dawn, and the weeds on the ground were still hanging with dewdrops, and the horse's hooves were dusty.
"What should we do? I'm afraid it's hard for us to get into the city. ”
"Aren't we just like the displaced people? Let's go, we can't get in, we have to try to find out. ”
Mei Xiya looks a little bit like riding a horse, although she usually looks weak, but she should be careful, and when it is time to act, she will definitely not be the one who drags people back. On the contrary, I am the master of mistakes, along the way, my annoying body is indispensable to suffer, my thighs are worn to the point that they are not mine, I suspect that more than a layer of skin has been lost, and even the pain of rubbing flesh and blood has tormented me all the time.
"Are you alright? When you're in town, let's find an inn and rest for a while. ”
"It's okay, it's too torturous to ride a horse, and I feel like my legs are grinding so much. ”
"You haven't ridden before, of course it's a kind of torment, survive this time, and make sure you won't cry out in pain in the future. ”
", I won't ride next time I am killed, hey, let's go, I just want to sleep beautifully. ”
Mei Xiya smiled and shook her head, how could she be a ghost to understand my discomfort, forget it, don't worry about her, it's important to go to the city.
Looking at the two big characters above the city gate, Jian Cheng, the name is very ordinary, and it is not an important city, maybe it is because some strange things have happened here recently, so the investigation is so strict.
Looking at the people lining up in front of me, it was finally our turn, I rolled over and dismounted, and I pulled the skin of my injured leg, I think this may be the so-called bone-eating pain.
Obviously, a thin layer of sweat broke out on my forehead in pain, and I grinned in pain, but I still endured it, grinned at the corners of my mouth, and smiled at the fierce officers and soldiers who were investigating.
"Official, the one above is my sister, this is my dog, we came to the city this time to look for relatives, a lot of strange things happened in the countryside, my father and mother have left, only there is a little uncle in the city doing business, my mother let our sister come to him before she died, I think you have also heard, woo, it's really pitiful." ”
As I spoke, I burst into tears, crying so much, miserable, the officer and soldier were skeptical, and believed me, but looking at Mei Xiya on horseback, seeing my sister crying so sadly, I didn't react at all, I was afraid that he wouldn't let us in.
So he wiped his tears, pointed to Mei Xiya and said to the officers and soldiers:
"Official, don't look at it, my sister can't speak, can't hear any sound, is a deaf and dumb person, and I hope that the official will take pity on our sisters, while the sky is still there, let us go in to find my uncle." ”
"Alright, alright, let's go in. ”
He was also impatient, he was tired from standing here all day, and he had to keep his eyes open and stare at the people who came in and out here, otherwise something would happen, not only would he be guilty, but he would also be implicated along with his dutiful brothers, so he lowered his head, covered his mouth and nose, waved his hand, and motioned for us to go in.
I know I'm embarrassed now, but I'm not so disgusting, right? I raised my hand and smelled the sleeves, and sure enough, there was a sour smell, and I wanted to vomit myself.
After entering the city, I didn't want to get on the horse anymore, so I walked down and led the horse, and Mei Xiya also jumped off the horse, holding the reins with a refreshed face, and walked side by side with me, and the white dog walked in front of me with its tail wagging, and it looked very excited, smelling here, smelling there, and peeing from time to time, and marking its own along the way.
The city is very bustling, we lead the horses, and the body is dirty, and the people here can't help but cover their mouths and noses in disgust when they see it, and give way by the way.
The voice is also very noisy, the sound of shouting, selling, shouting, or laughing, scolding, yes, this is the unique style that the world should have.
Endless flow of people, we entered the city soon after, then asked around a cheap inn, can not only provide us with a meal, but also provide dogs and horses to eat, I was satisfied, where can we find such a conscientious inn, we readily decided to pay a deposit to stay down.
There is not a lot of silver money on my body, this is the only one I just exchanged for a jade bracelet in my hand, looking at a big bag of heavy silver taels, I thought to myself, my brother is really good to me, any bracelet can be exchanged for so much money, I decided to find him after I must give him a big hug.
After checking in, I immediately packed myself, the clothes were just bought at the Yipinge next to the inn, a bright green style is the current popular corset and placket style.
After getting it done, I feel that refreshing not only makes me comfortable, but also makes others comfortable. After a good night's sleep, it's just the time when the night market begins.
I took Mei Xiya out for a walk, she didn't want to go, she has always pursued the same set as she was alive, saying that women from good families should not go out at this time, but what dynasty is this, the current folk customs are more cheerful, and women are still allowed to come out to play at this hour.
She couldn't resist me, and followed me to the street, I asked the shopkeeper about the most interesting street and the best food on that street, and the shopkeeper immediately said:
"To say that the man thinks the most fun street is still Peony Street, as the saying goes, peony flowers die, ghosts are also romantic, but you women are different, women's words, generally think that its Hua Street is fun, there are not only small games, such as guessing lantern riddles, putting river lanterns, paste candy people, of course, there are all kinds of gadgets to sell, the street is the most delicious, naturally the wine and food in the restaurant on the pot dance is the first. ”
"Huh, there's no food court here?"
"Girl, don't you know, our city is famous for its splendor, so there is no food here. ”
"Ah, I see, the splendid scenery of Jiancheng has long been insightful, thank you little second brother, then we will retire now. ”
"The two girls remember having fun. ”
The shopkeeper is not a pit, even the shopkeeper is so cute, I really love this Fulai Inn, I hope his family has a steady stream of blessings coming in.
We slipped away to Peony Street first, wanting to see the style of the embroidery girl here, yes, the prostitute here is calling the embroidery girl, it's really interesting, do you want to call the splendid beauty here? Even the prostitute has to call this name.
As its name suggests, Peony Street is famous for its high red lanterns, which are not only festive like wedding moments, but also decorated like newlyweds' new houses.
Looking at the girls at the gate upstairs laughing and soliciting guests, I was deeply involved, and at this time it was as if I had passed through a thousand flowers, and I quickly fainted. Mei Xiya seemed very shy, and she shyly tugged at my sleeve and urged me to leave.
I was dragged by her to the end, and it was much quieter.
"Hey, what are you anxious about, just a lot of embroidery girls waved at me and threw champas. ”
"You, what do you think, people threw it to your favorite son-in-law, do you think they threw it to you? ”
"Hey, if you don't believe me, why don't you go back and let me show you if it's true or not. ”
"Don't, I believe it, I believe it, okay, you can not only fascinate your senior brother, but also the embroidery girl on this street, okay. ”
"Hahaha, that's a must, let's go, let's go to the pot dance and eat something. ”
This restaurant is very famous, the building specifications are also super large, facing the river in the back, and the main street is crowded with people in front, and there is no one around it that can match it, so naturally the reputation is great, plus the dishes themselves are very novel, the taste is good, and it is normal to be famous.
After passing through an alley, you will come to the bustling and lively main street, where the goods are sold more miscellaneously, and the street is strictly managed, only shops are allowed to operate, and vendors can only hang out at night.
The dance on the pot is very conspicuous, far away, I saw, it is really a big restaurant, I counted, there are about three or four floors, in the flat houses that are all around, it is very eye-catching, very ostentatious.
"Wow, it's well deserved, let's go, I'm just hungry. ”
I was dizzy with hunger, and I myself was woken up by hunger, otherwise I thought I would have slept until tomorrow morning, for twelve hours.
"Well, the specifications of this restaurant should also be well-known in the country. ”
After getting closer, this restaurant is also very elegant with couplets, two long couplets, and no horizontal couplets, I don't understand it, I glanced at it casually, and took Mei Xiya's hand, and went in happily.
I'm trying to find a place where no one is around, but business here is too good, and there are still people standing in the open space listening to the storyteller shaking his head and laughing.
The shopkeeper had a white handkerchief on his shoulder, and came over with a smile and asked:
"What do you need?"
"I need to find a spot and sit down to eat. ”
"Oh, come with me, you can see it, this place is full, and there are a lot of guests in the private room upstairs, wait for me to check, that private room is empty. ”
