Chapter Twenty-Seven: Man Is Not a Sage
It was still so clear outside, she didn't go far and walked around the inn within two miles, and then went back.
She's been here for many days, and she has to hurry up and do what she wants to do, and she doesn't care how Xiao Hanxi gets there.
As she walked, she saw a high wall, and on the opposite side of the wall, she heard the sound of a child crying, and Xu Luoyang listened to it sideways.
Strange, how can there be a child's voice here?
Looking around, there was nothing to get her through, and she didn't know what was on the other side of the wall.
Thinking that she couldn't do it, she shouted at the wall: "Child, what's wrong with you?" How to cry. ”
On the other side of the wall heard someone shouting, the child didn't take it seriously, but continued to cry and wail even more, louder.
No, why is this child crying more and more, her voice is not lethal.
"Kid, what's wrong with you, tell your sister."
The next second, I heard the sobbing there, and the crying became much quieter, but within a quarter of an hour, the child began to cry again.
I'll go, what's wrong with this kid, didn't it stop just now? Why are you crying again now?
Xu Luoyang didn't say anything this time, he stood in place and was distressed, scratching his cheeks and having no way to do it.
If it weren't for her bad waist now, she would have climbed over this wall directly.
What the hell is on the other side of this wall?
Xu Luoyang: "Child, don't cry first, tell my sister what happened?" May I? ”
I thought the child would cry again, but this time it really stopped.
Without hearing a voice, she said again: "Child? Can you hear my sister? ”
Still didn't hear the child's voice, she waited an extra time for tea, but still didn't hear.
Strange, is this kid gone?
After making sure that there was really no crying, Xu Luoyang left there.
After returning to the inn, Xu Luoyang was thinking about what was going on with the child as he walked, and he didn't look at it while walking, and then he crashed into a solid and warm embrace.
"Ouch."
After the collision, it was bounced away, and the tip of his nose smelled a familiar fragrance, this fragrance was so unique, of course Xu Luoyang knew what it was coming from.
That's right, she just bumped into Shen Xiuyuan.
Xu Luoyang immediately posed like a budding flower, and smiled sincerely at Shen Xiuyuan: "Lord Wang, the people's daughter was accidentally offended."
Shen Xiuyuan held the envelope in his hand, looked at her with gloomy eyes, glanced at her and left, not wanting to stay with her for a moment longer.
Xu Luoyang saw Shen Xiu move away, and the smile on his face faded.
That kid is weird, this Shen Xiuyuan is also weird, every day he will put on a sad face, and he feels like he owes her money, he is really wronged by such a good-looking skin.
If Jiachen was him, then she would still be acceptable to him the way he is now, at least the type she likes.
No, to be precise, if the idol can come here, even if he is a piece of wood, Xu Luoyang is very happy to see it every day.
After returning to the inn, she called Xiao Er up, and at this time she was idle, so she simply explored this Liancheng again, so that it was convenient to find Moxiang Hongzhu.
Xiao Er also had nothing to do at the counter, and when he heard a guest officer upstairs calling him, his calf walked diligently to Xu Luoyang's guest room.
Xiao Er had a white linen cloth hanging on his shoulder, and said with a professional smile: "Guest officer, but what's the matter?"
Xu Luoyang wanted to talk to him directly, but he felt that there seemed to be a little less movement in the process of chatting, so he asked him to go to the bottom to fry peanuts and rice.
Xiao Er hurried down when he heard this, and after the peanuts were fried, he went upstairs and put the peanuts on a round table.
Xiao Er: "Guest officer, the peanuts are delivered, do you have anything else?"
Xu Luoyang didn't let Xiao Er go, but he still had to confirm him first: "Xiao Er, are you busy?"
"Ask you something."
Xiao Er: "Guest officer, please speak, as long as I know, I will tell you."
"Okay, then I'll ask you something. Has anything happened in this city in recent years? Xu Luoyang took a peanut and put it in his mouth, eating it with a snort.
Xiao Er thought back: "Guest officer, in fact, I am not from Liancheng, I came here from other places to seek a living, and it was the owner of this inn who gave me money and asked me to help take care of this inn." A few years ago, you could still see merchants coming here to sell their goods, but due to the perennial wars at the border gates, fewer people came here. ”
"The most important thing is that the officials sent by the imperial court collected taxes from the local area, which did not decrease but increased. The growth of the land in this pass was not good, and the people couldn't stand the increase in taxes, so they naturally left, which caused the economic decline of Liancheng, and later Liancheng was let go by the imperial court. ”
Xu Luoyang asked rhetorically: "Let it go?"
"That's right, this city has a serious flow of people, the economy is scarce, the environment is not good, and if you want to govern, you can't go back to the sky, so the court naturally lets it go, but every time it sends officials down to investigate, but it's the same person back and forth, in fact, it's just a process."
This city is at least Tianze Kingdom, I really didn't expect the imperial court to be like this, so casual, I am not afraid that this city will be favored by the enemy country, and it will be gone if it comes to the inside and outside?
It's also a border city.
Xu Luoyang actually didn't want to hear these trivial things, what she wanted to listen to was to inquire about the news of Moxiang Hongzhu, and it was important to get the beads.
But I didn't want to hear this, it seems that this city, the ruler no longer ignores it, but it is really going to be lost.
In the dynasties over the years, although the border pass is very important, but the border pass city is even more important, if it is taken by the enemy country, then the country is equivalent to abolishing a capable leader.
But what can she do about this, if this court can pretend to be blind, no matter what she says, it will be useless, and if she doesn't mean it, she will give away her life.
I don't know how Shen Xiuyuan felt after coming here. As a high-ranking prince, seeing that the people's lives are so difficult, how can they do something.
But when he thought of what Xiao Hanxi had said about his power before, it would be strange if he didn't know about this thing, and eighty percent of his eyes were also here to pretend to be blind.
Xu Luoyang returned to the topic: "Then let me ask you, are there any beads in this city?"
"Beads? The guest officer asked about jewelry? Xiao Er didn't understand what she meant by this, and could only think of what the woman was wearing.
took another peanut and ate it, shaking his head: "No, it's just a bead, you wait first, I'll show it to you."
Xu Luoyang went over and took out a piece of ink-scented rainbow beads on the baggage, which she redrew according to her memory. Put it on the table and show it to Xiao Er.
"Well, have you ever seen this bead?"
Xiao Er looked at it, this bead was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, "This bead, I have a little impression, but I can't remember." ”
"What, you have an impression?" When Xu Luoyang heard Xiao Er's words, she was excited and her waist hurt, she helped her waist and asked Xiao Er again.
"Little Er, think about it, as long as you come up with it, I will give you three months." Xu Luoyang said.
Xiao Er used his brain very hard when he heard that it was money, but he didn't know what he thought, and replied honestly: "Guest officer, I still can't think of it, but if I think of it, I will definitely tell you."
Xu Luoyang was a little disappointed when he heard this, but there was only hope, he wanted to put something out of this little er, although he didn't want anything, but at least what she wanted, this person can still know something.
"Okay, it's okay, take your time."
Xiao Er saw that Xu Luoyang had nothing to ask: "Is there anything else about the guest officer?"
Xu Luoyang took a peanut, stopped in mid-air, and replied to him: "No, no, you can go and get busy first."
Xiao Er: "Okay, then the guest officer, the little one will retreat first."
When leaving, Xiao Er thought of something, looked back and said to Xu Luoyang: "By the way, the guest officer must not run out at night these days, and be careful of things that should not be seen."
"Why?"
Xiao Er: "I don't know, I guess it's related to the July 15th Halloween."
Xu Luoyang: "Oh, okay."
July 15 is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, she knows more or less in modern times, that day is the festival of ghosts, it is said to be the most open day in the underworld, the ghost king allows the big ghosts and small ghosts to return to all parts of the world. On this day in the world, the ancestors are sacrificed, and there are tributes placed at the door of the house, providing the lonely souls and wild ghosts passing by, so that they can have a full meal.
Xu Luoyang does not believe that there is a ghost festival on July 15, after all, she is a new type of human in the 21st century, and she believes in the supremacy of science.
Everything in this world can be paid attention to by science, and everything has a scientific explanation, so she doesn't care about ghosts, and she doesn't even have a fear of it.
It's just that her rebirth is a bit contrary to common morality, and now science can't come up with any explanation, even if she does, she can't see it.
Xu Luoyang nibbled on peanuts, thinking about these things in his head.
Mo Xiang Hongzhu, Mo Xiang Hongzhu, you hurry to my hand, then my task is over.
When night fell, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the evening breeze blew gently, Xu Luoyang stood by the window, looking at the night sky.
The night sky was pitch black except for the moon, as if it had fallen into an endless abyss, but there was a bright moonlight guiding it.
In this silent night, Xu Luoyang leaned against the window alone, seeing that the moon would be full in a few days, he inexplicably thought of the children in the welfare home, and I didn't know how the children were now, whether they ate on time one by one, and whether they listened to the teacher's words......
"Luo Yang, are you there?" Li Yunxiu knocked on the door, "You give me honesty, I can warn you, and the attitude of apology has been set for me." ”
Xu Luoyang heard someone calling her outside, withdrew her thoughts, walked towards the door, and saw Li Yunxiu after opening the door.
There was also a child beside her, he was lowering his head, and Xu Luoyang swept Li Yunshen, who injured her waist that day.
"Why are you here?"
"Yun Shen, think about what you are going to do tonight, if you can't do it, you will stay in this inn for me from today until you open your mouth." Li Yunxiu is still strict with Li Yunshen.
If you do something wrong, you are wrong, and you should apologize for it.
Letting him read the books of sages since he was a child is to let him be sensible and virtuous, and be an upright person. And if there is, she changed this sentence, and she didn't teach him less.
Li Yunshen stood beside Li Yunxiu, his mouth was about to speak, but he lowered his head and stopped.
Li Yunxiu looked at his younger brother and said solemnly, "People are not sages, who can be without fault, and they can change after that, and they are very good." However, if you pass and do not change, it is excessive! ”
"Yun Shen, Sister has taught you to change these words when you know your mistakes since you were a child, are you taking my words as a deaf ear?"
Li Yunxiu's voice was amplified, Li Yunshen was trembling with fright, and Xu Luoyang was also startled.
Xu Luoyang knew what was going on, "Yun Xiu, in fact, I'm already fine, let's go over like that, and I believe that Yun Shen shouldn't have intentionally taken my compass." ”
"Really?" Xu Luoyang said to Li Yunshen with these words.
