Chapter 129: A Trip to the South
The south of the human world is different from the north, there is less of the cold wind and the desolate land, but there are a few more lingering and sad light rains, and they come for a while, and they have to leave again before they stay for a long time, and the air is filled with crispy warmth, and the roof tiles on the slings are scattered and scattered, and the paddy fields are not connected.
The street was full of girls with oil-paper umbrellas, her eyes lifted slightly, her pink eyes turned around, and then she retreated, and the paper umbrella leaned downward, and you could no longer see her face.
Ying Long walked in the alley, the bluestone bricks, the green moss in the corner, and occasionally a long shout, Ying Long began to think: Where are Qi Qi and Han Qi? If they are hiding in the south, they will really pick a place!
Out of the ancient alley, it is a long street, there is no direction to find the two fierce beasts, but the wine in the south always has to be tasted, Ying Long sniffed the smell of wine and got into a restaurant, and persuaded himself in his heart: "Restaurant! There are many people and more wine, and there is more news, maybe what news can you hear?"
He walked into a restaurant, sat down in the window seat, and Xiao Er came over and asked:
"Guest, what kind of wine do you drink?"
Ying Long took out a silver ingot from his arms, pushed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "You take this money first, and bring more good wine!"
The shopkeeper took the money and left, his steps were very light, and he disappeared in a moment, Ying Long's head turned to the window, a pale green lake, graceful willows beside the sand bank, koi fish that occasionally poked their heads out to exhale, and groups of children threw fish food into the lake with fish food in their hands.
There were three people at the next table, and there were several empty wine jars on the table, their cheeks were slightly red, and their voices became louder when they pushed the glass and changed the lamp:
"It's May again, Baicheng chooses the Oiran, this time it's different?"
"Oh, what's the difference, isn't it like that every year?"
"This time is different, the newly adopted daughter of Liuyuan's foreign family, that's called a beauty! It's like that heavenly fairy, I heard that she can also make a sword, have you ever seen such a woman?" This man Nunu mouthed, and said: "I haven't seen it, the southern girl's fingers holding an oil-paper umbrella and embroidering incense sachets, if they are used to make swords, it really has a different flavor, don't you want to see it?" hahaha-hahaha-hahaha-"
The shopkeeper came back lightly, with an extra tray in his hand, on which all kinds of wine jugs were placed on the table along with the recovered copper coins, and he said "slow use" and left.
Ying Long saw that the wine jugs were so chic, some big and some small, some short and some fat, he lined up for them with great interest, picked up the smallest wine jug, pulled out the pot and drank it in a big gulp, the taste of wine was very light, and it was gentle and soft across the throat, there was no throat burning pain of the spirits on the wolf's tooth platform, and after drinking a few pots in a row, Ying Long was not drunk, he stood up and left a sentence:
"As light as water!"
Out of the restaurant on the street, there is a bamboo box everywhere on the street, on the bamboo box is a delicate portrait of a woman, Ying Long is very strange, dragged a person and asked:
"What's going on with the bamboo box?"
The man smiled: "Outsiders, right? Baicheng chooses the Oiran! The bamboo box collects copper coins, and if there are more copper coins in the bamboo box, the girl in the portrait is the Oiran!"
Ying Long remembered that the bamboo boxes along the way were empty, and there was not half a copper coin, so he asked:
"Where's the copper coins in those bamboo boxes? Why haven't I seen any of them?"
Passerby: "Outsiders, right? The people who cast copper coins are all rich and noble sons, where do ordinary people vote, this year is very different, you go to the bamboo box outside Liufu to see, the copper coins are all there." ”
Ying Long simply asked for directions, and he was going to see this beautiful daughter of Liufu, the streets and alleys in the south were twists and turns, and after a few turns, his head was going to be dizzy, and he finally arrived at Liufu
Liufu in this small jasper-like south looks magnificent, there are two red lanterns hanging in front of the door, the red door is tightly closed, the graceful willow tree sways and swings, a pair of white jade lions stand in front of the house, several bamboo boxes in the copper coins are full, there are a lot of land deeds, house deeds and land deeds, there is an endless stream of people who invest money, the overflowing copper coins roll out, and a big push is piled up on the ground.
A crack opened in the door of the house, and several servants took an empty bamboo box, and took a broom and dustpan to put the overflowing copper coins into it, and the bamboo box was soon full again.
When the crowd was a little smaller, many beggars flocked to the bamboo box and stole some copper coins from the bamboo box to buy something to eat, and the high rollers who threw a lot of money did not care, and the bamboo box became more and more dilapidated in the crowd of people coming and going.
Ying Long said in his heart: Are all the people in Baicheng crazy? Are you going bankrupt for the sake of an Oiran? He pushed through the crowd and knocked on the door of Liufu, and the door opened a crack again, and a thin servant poked his head out and asked, "Is there something wrong?" The servant looked Ying Long up and down, and then asked, "Do you want to see my young lady!"
Ying Long was shocked, and was about to nod, but the door slammed shut, knocking Ying Long's forehead painfully, he rubbed his head, and shouted: "Aren't you allowed to see each other?"
A painting floated out of the gap, on which was painted a delicate girl, with low eyebrows and hands, behind a round fan, hiding the hazy and plausible face, Ying Long almost fainted when he saw it, not that the girl on it was beautiful, because this girl he knew was Wan'er who had left the Dragon Domain.
Judging from the painting, Wan'er has lost her original pampered momentum, but has more of the gentleness and sweetness of a southern girl, Ying Long hammered on the door with a fist and shouted: "Open the door!"
The servants behind the door are no longer surprised, everyone who sees the appearance of the young lady has gone crazy and rushed into the Liufu, now this person is nothing more than stronger, more difficult to deal with, there are more wooden sticks that need to be broken, the door is open again, and a fierce man is about to go out
Before the man could make a move, Ying Long grabbed the man's throat with one hand and pushed him back to Liufu, closed the door with his hind feet, and shouted:
"Take me to your young lady!"
The thin little servant snapped his fingers and shouted:
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry him out, where is the idle man, come to this Liufu to spread wild!"
When Ying Long left the Dragon Domain this time, he was entrusted by Grandma Xinghai, and he had to bring Wan'er back in all difficulties, how could he dare to be lazy now, grabbed the collar of the little servant with one hand, and roared: "You! Take me quickly!"
Several sticks behind him were smashed on Ying Long's back, Ying Long glared angrily, and the tall men looked at the cracked wooden sticks, and then glanced at Ying Long, and ran away with a scream, shouting as they ran: "Hurry!
When Ying Long looked back again, the thin servant in his hand had already fainted, he looked around, and walked towards the mansion with the faint servant in his hand.
