Chapter 45: Ten Thousand Years at a Glance
In the early morning, the warm sunlight poured in through the window.
When he opened his eyes, Xingluo found that the time had come.
In front of the bed, the upper body of Qianxun'er was lying on top of her and fell asleep deeply, she breathed shallowly, the curves outlined by her body made people feel refreshed, and her pink face made people want to touch it when they saw it, and after looking at her, Xingluo's gaze finally fell on the shoulders of Xiang, who was accidentally exposed.
"What a stupid girl, you called me when you egged, but she fell asleep." Xingluo muttered to himself.
Gently got up, got out of bed gently, and then gently picked her up, the whole action was done in one go, and the girl in her arms was still asleep, as if she had not been disturbed at all.
Xingluo gently put on the bed and covered the quilt, and then put on his coat and prepared to go out.
Before the door could be opened, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door, "Miss Xun'er, are you up?" My mother asked me to come and tell you that she was not at home for the past three days, and that you should come back to her to learn the piano later. "It's Nie Binghe.
Xingluo glanced at Kaoru, who had already sat up from the bed, and the two of them looked at each other before making a boo gesture at the same time.
Xingluo hid sideways behind the door, and Xun'er put on a short jacket and opened the door unhurriedly and walked out.
"Miss Xun'er, it turns out that you are in the middle of the house."
Outside the house, the sound of the two of them talking.
"Binghe is early, and I fell asleep in the side room when I practiced the piano too late last night." Kaoru said.
Nie Binghe looked around the wooden house and asked with concern, "Are you still used to living alone in such a remote place?" My mother has long wanted you to move to my compound, so that you can learn the piano every day. ”
Xun'er smiled slightly: "Thank you Master and the colt for your concern, I have lived here for almost fifteen years, and I don't want to change places again." ”
"Well, since you don't want to, I won't be strong. If you have any difficulties, feel free to let me know. Nie Binghe said with a smile.
After finishing the business, Nie Binghe chatted with Xun'er for a few more words, Xingluo, who was waiting behind the door, was a little impatient, he wished that Nie Binghe would leave quickly, seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, he simply cast a mind control technique on him.
Finally, the two of them were the only ones left in the whole of Merlin.
When he returned to the side house and saw Xingluo again, Qianxun'er's face was slightly red, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid his eyes.
Xingluo pulled Kaoru in front of her, Xun'er was a little flustered, but she didn't want to refuse, so she had to close her eyes, and soon, she felt Xingluo leaning towards her, his snort sprayed warmly on her forehead, followed by two thin lips.
Kaoru was so nervous that even her breathing became short, and Xingluo kissed her lightly on the forehead, and the feeling was as magical as a summer leaf.
"Shallow girl, I like you." Xingluo said softly.
Qianxun'er slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze met Xingluo's pale blue eyes.
Is this a glance for ten thousand years?
Kaoru wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't say anything, and the handsome face in front of her made her unable to extricate herself.
"If you don't speak, you accept it." Xingluo smiled softly.
"I ....." Before I could say the three words, Xingluo had already let go of his hand.
"Clean up, I'll take you out for breakfast."
"Out of ..... Going out to eat? Qianxun'er was stunned for a moment, and before she could calm down, Xingluo had already pushed the door and went out.
Half an hour later, the two of them appeared in a small city called Quanyang in the Water Night Kingdom, which was only twenty miles away from the Water Night King City, and the total population did not exceed five thousand.
Today's Quanyang Street is very lively, singing and dancing, acrobatics, selling food, and the civilians of each family also took to the streets, only to know that today is the 60th birthday of the water night king Beirong, in order to celebrate his birthday, all the towns and cities of the water night are lit up with lights, and celebrate three days together.
"No wonder Nie Binghe's family hasn't been here for the past three days, it turns out that today is the birthday of King Beirong." Xingluo said.
As soon as she entered Quanyang, she was attracted by the bustling scene around her, and she kept patronizing all the stalls along the street, selling food, rouge gouache, and all kinds of novelty toys.
After going around in a circle, the two sat down at a roadside stall in the downtown area, "What do the two guest officers want to eat?" A girl about the same age as Kaoru Asa walked up and asked.
"What do you have here?" Xingluo looked up and asked.
"Our family's colorful chaos, exquisite jade rice balls, lotus leaf soup and rose fragrant cakes are all good, what do you think you want to eat?" The girl said sharply.
"All of what you just said." Xingluo smiled, paused, and added, "Double portion." ”
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare."
After the girl left, Xingluo unhurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea, one was placed in front of Asa Xun'er, and the other was sipped by herself.
Growing up so big, it was the first time that Kaoru was so far away from home, and when Xingluo took her to fly with Edgeworth just now, she closed her eyes the whole time.
"Do you like it here?" Xingluo glanced at Xun'er and asked.
"yes, I like it." Shallow Xun'er nodded, "In the past, when my mother-in-law was there, she would take me out a few times a year, but I usually went to a small town not far from home, and my mother-in-law subsidized the family by selling herbs, except for daily food and clothing, we didn't have extra money to buy other things." ”
Xingluo let out an "oh" and continued to drink tea.
Xun'er paused, and then whispered: "You know all about my situation, shouldn't you also tell me some of your situation?" ”
Xingluo looked at Xun'er with his cheeks propped up: "What do you want to know?" ”
"Whatever you want to tell me, tell me whatever you want, and I don't force what I don't want to say."
Xingluo smiled lightly, the girl in front of him simply made him feel cute, "Silly girl, do you believe everything I say?" ”
"Well, you believe everything you say." Kaoru said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll tell you all my story tonight." Xingluo looked at Qianxun'er and said.
Kaoru was stunned for a moment: "Why is it night?" And not now? ”
Xingluo rubbed Xun'er's head and said, "Didn't you say you like it here?" Then let's not go back to Meilin today, and when we're done visiting Quanyang City, we'll go to Water Night King City again. ”
Kaoru's mouth opened wide with an "ah", not returning to Merlin, meaning that they would be staying out for the night, "Wouldn't that be good...... "Wouldn't it be good," she muttered, her voice so small that she could barely hear it.
Xingluo didn't speak, and Xun'er didn't know if he didn't hear or deliberately didn't answer.
After a while, breakfast was served, and the small table was quickly filled.
Xingluo picked up the chopsticks and buried his head in eating, and in less than a moment, a bowl of colorful chaos was already in his stomach, seeing that Qianxun'er was still sitting there with a blank face, Xingluo couldn't help but poke her with his hand: "What's wrong?" Waiting for me to feed you? ”
Only then did Qianxun'er come to her senses, her face turned red, and she hurriedly picked up the bowl and ate it.
After a hearty meal, the two continued to wander the street.
After not going far, Xun'er was attracted by the hairpin on a jewelry stall, only to see that the hairpin was green all over, and the hairpin body was carved with a lifelike bird, the hairpin head was flower-shaped, and a bright turquoise was inlaid in the middle.
The stall owner is a half-aged who is nearly forty years old, and when she saw the business, she hurriedly ran to the two of them and greeted them with a smile: "The girl has a good eye, this is a golden hairpin with turquoise flowers, which just matches the girl's temperament." ”
"How much does this hairpin cost?" Kaoru asked.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, a hundred gold coins are enough."
"A hundred gold coins?" Xun'er was startled, and hurriedly put the hairpin back, a hundred gold coins, even if she picked herbs for ten years, it was not enough.
The stall owner quickly saw that Xun'er was shy, and immediately put away most of her smile, "If the girl thinks it's expensive, I still have a lot of cheap hairpins and jewelry here, do you want to stop picking?" ”
"You don't have to pick, we want this hairpin." Xingluo picked up the words, and after speaking, he put a small bag of gold coins in the stall owner's hand: "Here are ten gold coins, one is not more and one is not less, you count." ”
"Little boy, you heard me wrong, I said a hundred gold coins, not ten." The stall owner hurriedly said.
Xingluo smiled faintly: "I'll give you ten gold coins, and you can still earn five, am I right?" ”
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xingluo and smiled: "It seems that I have met an expert, Cheng, ten gold coins are ten gold coins." ”
Xingluo smiled, picked up the golden hairpin inlaid with turquoise flowers, and turned around and put it on for the light Xun'er beside him.
"Girl, you're so good-looking." Xingluo couldn't help but glance at Xun'er a few times, her face was pure and her bearing was elegant, she was many times better than ordinary girls.
"Luo Luo......" Xun'er smiled shyly, pulled Xingluo and hurriedly walked forward.
After walking for a long time, Xun'er asked Xingluo: "How did you know that the hairpin only costs ten gold coins?" Are you really a connoisseur? ”
Xing Luo laughed, where did he know what jewelry, he just glanced at the stall owner's memory to know the true price of the hairpin.
"I'm not a connoisseur, I just think that a hundred gold coins for a small vendor is enough to buy everything in his entire stall. , girl, if you really like that hairpin, next time I'll give you a genuine one. ”
Kaoru smiled: "This is the first gift you gave me, no matter how much it is worth, in my heart, it is the most priceless." ”
The two played from morning to dusk.
In the evening, Xingluo hired a carriage and came to the Water Night King City with Xun'er.
This is the largest city in the water night, the circumference of the city wall has been close to forty miles, as far as the eye can see, the water night palace is standing majestically in the center of the royal city.
When night falls, the lights inside and outside the Water Night King City are bright, although it is winter, but still can not stop the people's fiery mood, on the street, the crowd of people who come and go is noisy and frolic, the stalls along the street are also full of people, the shops on both sides of the road, the shouting and shouting are endless.
A few steps further inside, you can see the river flowing through the royal city, and there are many beautiful painted boats on the river, and the women on the boats are wearing Luo clothes and standing with their faces hidden.
From the moment she entered the royal city, Xun'er was attracted by the lively scene in front of her, everything around her was strange and new to her, she didn't dare to let go of Xingluo's hand, because only by following him did she have a sense of security.
