Light snow fell again in the gray sky.

The streets of Mirror City are bustling with people, and the cold makes the street vendors curl up, their arms hidden in their thick sleeves, waiting for their customers.

The snow on the ground was trampled by pairs of passing shoes, mixed with the original dirt and turned into water. This makes the whole street even dirtier.

Except for Glores, who couldn't shirk it, the others still cooperated and came out to buy together. There were too many people in the entourage, and for fear of attracting attention, Jue simply assigned the task, and they scattered in Jing City, agreeing to meet at the city gate before dusk.

Lenson and Yuke are in charge of buying large quantities of apples; Kim and Aisha are in a group and are responsible for buying decorative supplies and cloth; Hunter and Yufu are in a group, and take Han Qingluo's sketch to contact the carpenter; Rose and Grey-Eye are in charge of the clutter; The rest of Han Qingluo naturally formed a group with Jue, and what to buy has not yet been decided.

"Let's go together in two groups, we should be on the same road." At the gates of the city, Kim proposed. Aisha stood beside him, seemingly fine.

Jue didn't speak, and walked forward, as if he had acquiesced. Han Qingluo saw that he was about to go away, smiled at the two of them hurriedly, and hurriedly opened his legs to chase Jue.

"Let's go!" Kim also motioned for Elsa to follow. Aisha nodded obediently.

The four figures walked one after the other.

On the way, they met Yuke and Lenson, who were buying apples, and these apple vendors surrounded these two big customers who wanted to order 100 pounds of apples at once.

"Sir, my apples are big and sweet!"

"My lord, buy my family, I'll give you a cheaper!"

"Your Excellency!"

……

"Don't squeeze, damn it!" Yuke's scalp was tingling from the enthusiastic fruit seller's argument, and he was almost out of breath, and the strong Rensen on the side looked fierce, holding his arms to watch Yuke's miserable situation.

Rubbing shoulders with these two, the four figures in the line all smiled, and they still had their own tasks.

"There's a cloth shop here." Walking and walking, Aisha pulled Kim.

Kim glanced ahead, looked at the cloth shop, met Aisha's eyes, nodded, and walked into the cloth shop together. The trip of the two groups of peers ended.

Han Qingluo, who didn't have a clear goal, wandered around the streets and alleys of Mirror City with Jue.

The snow still can't stop people's enthusiasm, and the streets are full of people, maybe Christmas is coming, and people are stocking up on what they need for Christmas Eve.

When walking to a bookstore, Jue stopped, turned his head and pulled Han Qingluo, who was looking around, seeing that her posture probably didn't even know that he had entered the bookstore, so he ran straight forward without holding her.

Han Qingluo, who hadn't come out to hang out for a long time, was so attracted by the lively city that he couldn't take his eyes off it. Although there is nothing peculiar, things that have not been seen for a long time are always novel, and I can't help but ignore Jue without distraction, and only care about satisfying my curiosity.

Pointing to the door of the bookstore, Jue said to Han Qingluo: "Go in and have a look?" ”

Han Qingluo nodded "um", and the two walked in.

Walking among the bookshelves, Han Qingluo was dazzled by the variety of books in front of him, including many copied famous books, the Renaissance from the 14th to the 16th century, Dante's "Divine Comedy"; Boccaccio's Decameron; Shakespeare's Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, etc.

After flipping through it casually, Han Qingluo picked out a copy of Boccaccio's "Decameron", and happened to meet Jue who was picking a book, Jue lowered her head and glanced at the book in her hand, and then turned back to continue picking books......

Waiting a little bored, Han Qingluo flipped through the "Decameron" with a strong story, and when he was watching it with relish, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

Han Qingluo took his eyes off the books, looked up at Shang Jue's face, and looked down, only to see him holding a pile of books in his hand. With a puzzled and surprised expression: "You want to buy so much?" ”

Jue nodded: "Let's settle the bill." ”

Han Qingluo rubbed his swollen eyes, closed the book, and took a step forward.

Jue behind her stretched out her big hand casually towards the bookshelf when she left a few steps, and temporarily took a book out of the bookshelf, with a clear goal and quick movements. Inserted into the bottom of the pile, and the back continued to follow without any difference.

In the cloth shop.

Brushing through the fabrics and feeling the softness of her fingertips, Elsa was as reverent and careful as if she were caressing the skin of a saint. Because he was born in a poor village, he has always worn coarse linen clothes since he was a child. It's hard to get the hang of expensive fabrics, let alone wear them.

After choosing a few pieces of red cloth, Aisha handed the drawings in her arms to the boss, who looked at the patterns on the paper and was puzzled: the clothing styles designed on it did not match the recent fashions at all, they were baggy, and there was a strange hat. In addition to this strange design, there are three other costume designs that make his eyes shine.

Without asking too much, the boss nodded and booked a date for pickup.

Glancing at Jin at the door, Aisha pulled the boss aside and whispered, "Make me another men's suit, the most popular style." As he spoke, he pointed to the expensive crimson brocade cloth not far away, and paused, "The women's model also makes a matching set." ”

The boss took the money with a smile and respectfully returned: "No problem! ”

After the delivery, Aisha walked to the door and naturally grabbed Jin who was in a daze: "Let's go, go shopping." ”

Kim was stunned for a moment by her actions, didn't react too much, and let out a soft "um".

——

Hunter and Yufu also successfully found the carpenter, and the customized things were also something that the old carpenter had never seen, but they could understand one or two by looking at the general design drawings, paid the deposit, agreed on the pick-up date, and the two big men also visited the mirror market.

"Do you think we should buy this?" Rose stood in front of the cup shop, pausing to think. Then he sighed deeply, and looked at the gray eyes who did not speak on the side, his gray eyes were not angry at all, and he felt bored just by looking at them.

All the way, he was talking to himself, and he followed with gray eyes, and he didn't express any opinions, but he was suffocated to death. But whenever I met something I liked, I still took the trouble to ask him, although I already knew what the result would be in advance.

The apple group on the other side, under the siege of the fruit sellers, exceeded the estimated number of purchases. Yuke and Rensen, who had completed their task very early, quickly loaded the 100 pounds of apples onto the temporary freight wagon, and pulled them to the city gate to wait for the other purchasing teams to meet.

After coming out of the bookstore, Jue and Han Qingluo went into a weapon shop again.

Delicate daggers and short knives are displayed in the cabinets, and there are also beautifully crafted swords hanging from the walls. In the corners, armor, shields, bows and arrows, crossbows, ...... There is everything you need to find common weapons.

After walking around, Han Qingluo motioned to the boss to take off everything in her photo. Under Jue's surprised gaze, he bought a complete set of weapons and equipment.

"Are you going to war?" Jue was very puzzled.

Han Qingluo didn't explain, Xiang Jue gave a small look, looked at the equipment he bought with a clear purpose, and said with a smile: "Come on!" ”

Walking out of the weapon shop, a heavily armed knight appeared behind Han Qingluo—a long sword pinned to his waist and a few daggers hanging from it. Carrying a book in one hand, holding a heavy helmet in the other, and a cold face.

And Han Qingluo was empty-handed, she really just came to shop, and Jue was completely reduced to her tool.

As he walked, Han Qingluo suddenly turned around, and except for Jue, the other people who came and went behind him were normal. She scratched her head, thinking she was delusional.

"What's wrong?" Jue asked out loud.

"How do I feel like someone is following us along the way?" Han Qingluo leaned towards Jue and muttered in a low voice.

"Really?" Jue raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and the armor and scabbard collided with each other with every step he took, "It's okay, keep walking ours, I'm here." ”

Han Qingluo deliberately walked side by side with him, looking ahead: "The alley in front of you is turning, you know." ”

Jue snorted "um" from his nose and held back a laugh.

Walking to the mouth of the alley, their figures turned into it without hesitation. Not far behind them, a figure in a black robe poked its head out of a corner, and when he saw that he had lost someone, he hurried in the direction where they had disappeared.

"Where did they go?" The dark shadow looked around, looking very anxious. But as soon as he passed through an alley, a big palm stretched out from the darkness suddenly pulled him in.

"Who are you?" As soon as Jue pulled the person in, Han Qingluo pinned his arm, pressed it under him, and asked in a cold voice.

"Ah, don't hit me!" The dark shadow groaned in pain.

Hearing the voice, Han Qingluo's face changed, and this delicate voice seemed to be a girl. Hurriedly let go and lifted the hat from his head.

"Is that you?" After seeing the true face of the black shadow, Jue couldn't help but speak.

Han Qingluo turned his head sharply to look at Jue: "You know each other?" ”

……

At the mouth of the alley, three figures sit in a row.

After listening to the girl's story, Han Qingluo realized that this matter was completely a misunderstanding: "So, Lucy, when you saw Lord Jue's benefactor, you followed us all the way?" Between the words, she rubbed her hand guiltily that was twisted by herself.

The girl nodded, and her big beautiful eyes glanced at Jue through Han Qingluo from time to time. Han Qingluo took in these small movements, poked Jue beside him with his elbow, and teased: "Yo, I didn't expect you to have a little fan girl outside." ”

Jue still maintained his old posture, and said coldly: "It's just a favor." ”

He didn't expect that this girl was a cigarette seller he had helped by chance at the tavern a long time ago, and his memory of Lucy was only that of the little girl who had inquired about the news.

"I'm sorry to scare you." Lucy lowered her eyelashes, her face full of apologies.

"It's okay, next time it's okay, don't learn from others to stalk people!" Han Qingluo didn't mind her recklessness either.

Jue, who didn't want to talk, looked up at the sky, the snow had stopped, and the gray sky was approaching evening, which looked gloomy. reminded loudly: "Han Qingluo, it's not too early." ”

Subconsciously looking up at the sky, Han Qingluo turned his head and smiled at Lucy beside him: "If you have a chance, see you again, let's go back!" ”

Lucy stood up to see them off, her eyes full of reluctance, and even more reluctance was the man. Ban Yan whispered to the distant back, "Goodbye, Mr. Jue!" ”

She finally knew his name, but there were people around him.
