Chapter 11 Heroes Save Beauty
Bodhi washes away the lead dream, and everything in the world is empty.
There are too many things that people carry in this life, and sooner or later they will be infected by the world, and how many people can do nothing.
At the foot of the mountain, it is the Lantern Festival, the city is brightly lit, and the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the prosperous era make people temporarily forget the helplessness and hardships of their daily life.
On both sides of the street, there are many shops, and almost every house is hung with colorful lanterns in front of the door, blending into the beauty of the festival. The melodious sound of the piano is played everywhere in the city, accompanied by Xiao Song, and the lingering sound lingers in the hearts of the people. On the high platform, the dancing girl waved her long sleeves and danced, painting a chic landscape.
Someone picked up the wine cup and drank the bright moon; Some people are deeply immersed in the sound of the piano and chant poetry.
An elegant scene, another secular painting.
At the end of the road, the street faded into darkness with a few lights, and in the middle of the night, on a stone staircase leading into the mountain, a young girl stood quietly, quietly overlooking the lively street scene below.
In his sharp amber eyes, doubts were constantly expressed.
Just a minute or two ago, Gao Qingzhu was still standing at Linhai Station at that time, but he remembered that the girl in the pavilion suddenly disappeared, and the loss in Murong Bai's eyes was overflowing. After that, Xu Nanxing disappeared from his eyes again.
And then, there is no then.
It was Gao Qingzhu who came here inexplicably.
The structure of the houses at the foot of the mountain, the city gate standing in the distance, and the clothes of the people all reveal a lot of information.
"I'm here, and I've crossed over again?" Gao Qingzhu was puzzled, and at the same time, he couldn't hold back and complained.
Looking at the starry lanterns scattered in the lake in the distance, and the lake that is rippling in groups reflecting the starry sky, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Milky Way. It is rare to see this scene in modern life, and it is fortunate to be able to meet it at this time.
Sitting on the stone steps like this, Gao Qingzhu was more and more fascinated by it, forgetting the time.
I took out my phone and looked, and sure enough, there was no signal.
Behind him, the promenade-like stone steps extend to the top of the mountain, I don't know where it will lead, this staircase is so long, I am afraid that I will exhaust myself to death when I reach the top of the mountain, Gao Qingzhu is naturally reluctant to go there, not to mention people, they all like bright and lively places.
So he got up and headed for the bustle.
……
The flow of people is crowded, and the traffic is busy.
Brilliant lanterns are reflected in the red bricks and green tiles, adding a bit of poetry to the whole city.
Next to a restaurant, the crowd gathered was guessing the lantern riddle with great interest, led by several scholars holding fans, pointing to the lanterns hanging on the high place, reading the puzzles aloud, laughing, more and more crowds of people swarmed in, almost the entire long street was jammed.
Crowded, but with smiles on their faces, no one thought the congestion would be unpleasant.
"Come, come, come! Next! A standing man with a black beard took a four-cornered lantern off the shelf, looked at the words on the lantern, and then read it aloud, "The wind goes and comes, and the geese in front of the peak are slanting." Make a flower name. ”
"I'm coming!" A soft, soft voice came from nowhere.
Not far from the lampstand, a man dressed in white squeezed out of the crowd and stood tall in front of the standing man.
The figure was familiar, and Gao Qingzhu, who was joining in the fun, recognized it at a glance.
Murong Bai? He also went through it together?
"Oh? What is this son's opinion? The standing man asked with a smile.
"In this wind, there are few, and when it comes, it is a phoenix; In front of the peak is the mountain, and the wild geese are slanting, isn't it a person? Murong Bai looked at everyone confidently, "So this answer is impatiens." ”
The crowd suddenly stirred, everyone applauded, and even several women were attracted by Murong Bai's handsome face, and they all cast good looks. Seeing their enthusiasm, Murong Bai became a little shy, half-bowed his head, and avoided their gaze.
"Good! This boy reacts really fast, then this lantern will be given to you. The man is the owner of the lantern riddle that organized this riddle, and he is also the owner of the restaurant on the side, and he is very generous, so far, he has almost sent out more than 20 lanterns, which is not a small price.
Murong Bai took the lantern and squeezed it out of the crowd again.
"I can't see that you're pretty smart." Behind him, Gao Qingzhu patted him on the shoulder and appeared in his sight.
But who knew that his face was full of doubts, and it was clear that he didn't recognize Gao Qingzhu.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Murong Bai slowly asked, "This girl?" We know each other? ”
When he said this, the sincerity in his eyes was captured by Gao Qingzhu again, this look Gao Qingzhu had seen, it seemed that he really didn't recognize himself.
But what's going on?
"I'll just say it's familiar, it's really the two of you?" Another familiar voice came, and Gao Qingzhu didn't need to look up to know who it was.
Xu Nanxing walked over from the crowd in front of the lantern shelf, he was wearing a cyan ancient clothes, which perfectly blended into this era, no wonder Gao Qingzhu didn't recognize him before, but his clothes and his short hair really looked abrupt and abnormal.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Gao Qingzhu asked.
Glancing at himself, Xu Nanxing smiled and said, "I came here a few days ago, and I can't wear my own clothes all the time, how smelly it is." As he spoke, he also looked around cautiously, and then lowered his voice, "I'm from someone else's house, don't tell me." ”
"Oh ~ Shun-" Gao Qingzhu was about to amplify the volume, but Xu Nanxing, who was quick-eyed, rushed at him with an arrow step, and opened his palm to cover his mouth.
"Shhh
Gao Qingzhu took the opportunity to touch Xu Nanxing's slender white hand and put it down, but he didn't plan to let it go, "This is ancient times, and men and women can't kiss each other." ”
"And what are you?" Pulling the hand she was holding, Xu Nanxing was helpless, "You woman can have a face." ”
Maybe it's because they've become more familiar with each other after meeting a few times, so the conversation between Xu Nanxing and Gao Qingzhu is no longer as restrained as before, oh no, only Xu Nanxing, Gao Qingzhu's face is thicker than the city wall, and he dares to say anything.
The two people in front of them were talking to each other, and Murong Bai, who was in the middle of the two at this time, smelled a trace of embarrassment, and in the embarrassment of not being able to speak, he also revealed puzzlement.
What I don't know is what exactly they are talking about.
I wanted to leave quickly, but I was suddenly stopped.
"Where are you going?" Gao Qingzhu grabbed him.
"Next, I have to go back to Qingming Temple." Murong Bai bowed after speaking, as a courtesy, but he was actually preparing to leave, "If there is nothing to do, then I will leave first." ”
Xu Nanxing, who was on the side, stretched out his hand and patted Gao Qingzhu, signaling that she didn't need to stop her.
Seeing Murong Bai walking away, Gao Qingzhu opened his mouth and asked Xu Nanxing: "Don't figure it out?" ”
Xu Nanxing: "I didn't know why I came here before, but when I saw you and that guy, I instantly understood. ”
"Listen up." Gao Qingzhu leaned against the wall, quietly waiting for him to explain.
"Do you remember what Murong Bai said about alien creatures?"
"Misplaced?"
"Well, it can overlap different points in time, although it's not the same, but you can directly understand it as a time travel." Xu Nanxing had some coping meaning, obviously too lazy to explain.
However, Gao Qingzhu was not angry, "Are you saying that it overlapped the two of us into Murong Bai's era?" ”
"It's almost, anyway, he here is still the same person he used to be, but he is not the same as Murong Bai at Linhai Station."
Gao Qingzhu suddenly remembered a question: "Where did the dislocation attack us?" Didn't you say that the station is a separate space? ”
"Isn't that Linhai Station?" Xu Nanxing crossed his hands on the back of his head and leaned against the wall in an extremely relaxed posture, "Even a tens of thousands of years old monsters can't cast spells across a space, and it's even more impossible for alien creatures, so it can only be in the station." Alas, these alien creatures are really more naughty than the other. ”
Now that I've traveled to an unknown dynasty, I don't know the time without a clock, but I can probably guess that it's almost midnight.
There are fewer pedestrians in the vicinity, but there are still many people who still linger on the streets and are reluctant to give up on this joyous festival.
"Yo, the little lady is wearing so little, which son-in-law is this going to seduce?" A drunken male voice came, attracting Xu Nanxing's attention.
In fact, Gao Qingzhu is not wearing a lot, although she is still wearing a coat, but she is wearing a knee-length skirt on her lower body, and her white calves are exposed to the air, which attracts the attention of others.
Turning his head sideways, a ruddy-faced man was approaching Gao Qingzhu with a pot of wine and walking crookedly, the hair on his temples was draped on both sides, and the bun on the top of his head was no longer formed.
Presumably, this person has just finished drinking flower wine, and there is a strong feminine fragrance on his body.
The drunken man was covered with the smell of wine mixed with a pungent aroma, Gao Qingzhu covered his nose and got up to dodge, but he was unexpectedly smashed by him with a wine jug.
Holding his smashed arm, Gao Qingzhu instantly hung his face, and the anger and disgust in his eyes were obvious.
"Yo, what are you looking at? I'm telling you! My dad is the richest man in town! The man pointed at Gao Qingzhu, raised his toes, and moved his father out.
A few seconds ago, he was still a fox, and a few seconds later, he began to beg for mercy.
"Alas, hero, spare your life, let go, ah, it's going to break, it's going to break."
His appearance of begging for mercy was too ridiculous, and it was very different from the previous unstoppable attitude, and with a snort, Gao Qingzhu couldn't help laughing.
"Then you don't apologize?" Xu Nanxing pressed his arm backhand, and the man in pain howled again and again, calling Xu Nanxing a hero.
"Aunt, girl, I was wrong, I was wrong, tell him to let go, it's really going to break."
Gao Qingzhu didn't pay attention to him, just smiled silently, as if he was watching a good show, and did not persuade or accept his apology.
"Don't let me see you again." Xu Nanxing let him go, and pushed him, and the man fell directly and ate.
Hurriedly got up from the ground, the man didn't stand firm and fell again, he helped the crown of hair on the top of his head, brushed the hair on the sideburns in a panic, pretended to be calm and said in a loud voice: "You wait!" I'm going to let my dad settle accounts with you both!" ”
Dropping the cruel words, he didn't look back, just staggered and fled.
Seeing him go away, Gao Qingzhu joked to Xu Nanxing: "Yo, the hero saves the beauty?" However, I always felt that this scene was familiar. ”
The scene just now really looks familiar, you must know that many bloody TV series have this plot, Gao Qingzhu didn't expect to be bumped into by herself, and she really became the heroine of an idol drama.
"There's nothing wrong with this hero, but you're also a beauty?" Xu Nanxing found an opportunity to talk back.
Hiss –
Holding the smashed arm, Gao Qingzhu suddenly squatted down, as if the blow was not light, and it was still painful.
"Are you alright?" Xu Nanxing thought that she was seriously injured, so she instinctively leaned down and asked with concern, with rare tenderness in her tone.
At this moment, Gao Qingzhu raised his head suddenly, and the two met their eyes at close range.
Gao Qingzhu smiled with his eyebrows, and his mouth muttered: "It seems that this 'hero' does care about 'beauty'." ”
