Chapter 18 The Four Eyes Face Each Other

"The name in the customs clearance document is Li'er! Even if I say I know the princess, no one will believe me! ”

"It's the same thing, every time you mess up your face, it's strange that they can believe it."

The reason why Ah Jing agreed to go separately before was for the sake of safety. But now she regrets it, first, the princess loves to run around, and she really has more than enough heart to protect her. The second is that she feels that Li'er is guarded by Lord Qin on her side, but it is safer than here.

"If you don't believe it, you don't believe it! Am I not unusual? ”

"Ahh Ah Jing was speechless, "You are a princess, and you will marry the prince of Nanchu in the future." ”

"No, that's still an unknown. Besides, the person who met the prince was Li'er, not me. ”

She had learned about the prince of Nanchu. I heard that this person is extremely picky about women, and he has seen countless princesses from all over the world so far, but none of them have taken a fancy to him.

Of course! As a modern person, she fully understands what he does and hopes that he will keep it up forever.

"How can it be a pity? You are the real princess. Lan Xin really couldn't listen to it, and she didn't understand how someone would just want to be a commoner and not want to be a princess.

"I've already told Li'er that if the prince takes a fancy to her, she will be a princess."

"Nonsense······ how can you be worthy of His Royal Highness King Yan's hard work?" Ah Jing was furious, "All this he did was for you." ”

"Oops! You're thinking too much. Fence Luo pointed at himself, "I'm like this, the prince may not see this as one of them." Second, my personality is not suitable for living in the palace at all, and I may die in the palace fight in a few days, is this what you are happy to see. Besides, I think Li'er is more suitable than me. She has a gentle and virtuous personality, and is a good candidate for a wife. ”

"Even if what you say makes sense, it's useless, King Yan won't agree."

What brother in the world would agree to let someone else enjoy the glory and wealth in the place of his sister? Even if her personality is not suitable for palace life, it does not mean that she is suitable for living an ordinary life.

"We'll talk about it then!" Seeing that A-Jing was blushing and her neck was thick, she didn't want to quarrel anymore.

"That's right! Ming'er, what are your plans? She changed the subject at the right time, not wanting to argue about something that hadn't happened yet.

"Tomorrow is the Water Festival, I want to go to Xianshan to get some water for medicine." Lan Xin saw that A-Jing was still annoyed, and gave her a look to signal her to be calm. Then he turned around and went to fiddle with the herbs in the corner.

Ah Jing knows that the princess is actually a child's heart, and she has an idea a day. I don't know when I suddenly want to be a princess again. Besides, how could His Royal Highness King Yan allow her to mess around, maybe she would have sent her portrait to the Southern Chu Prince's Mansion long ago!

"Why are you so superstitious?" Today in Lao Cai, the fence also listened to it.

It is simply nonsense to say that fairy water is magical, cures all diseases and is immortal or something.

"I heard from the mountain people that the water in the pond is very magical, and only this day is clear at the end of the year, and the water cannot be drunk after this time, and it cannot be spent overnight."

"Really? So amazing? She wasn't convinced.

"I don't know, but I've only heard that the mountain people who live here go up to the mountains to fetch water at this time of year, and even the people in the city rush there early."

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow!" When she said this, she was a little interested, wanting to see if Tianchi was as miraculous as the legend.

---

The next day, before the fifth watch, the bustling sound outside the inn woke up the fence.

When she got up and looked, she saw that the mountain people had lined up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The torches in his hands illuminate the night sky as if it were day.

Ah Jing was going to the city, and only she and Lan Xin were the only ones who marched towards the fairy mountain with the mighty procession.

Due to her physical exhaustion, she was gradually left behind.

On the way, Lan Xin and a few villagers had a hot fight, and made an appointment to go to collect medicine together after going down the mountain. So I didn't wait for her, I only told her to go back to the inn directly after fetching water, and she was not allowed to run around, and then left.

The hedge fell very slowly, and by the time it was time for Tianchi, the army had long since disappeared, leaving only a few old people fetching water.

The visibility on the mountain is extremely low, and the entire Tianchi is full of smoke like a fairyland, and you can vaguely see the ripples on the surface of the water. The temperature is much lower than that of the mountain, and even though it is almost midnight, there is still no warmth in the air.

She walked around the pool and drank from her mouth.

The water was very clear and pure, and it tasted very sweet, so she took a bottle and planned to take it home.

"The hour has passed, and you must not fetch any more water."

At this moment, a gray-haired old man shouted, and then everyone stopped moving. Not only that, but everyone consciously took a step back, only the fence was a little unclear.

In confusion, an old woman pulled her back.

At this time, the smoke on the mountain began to dissipate miraculously little by little, and the sunlight shone in through the mist, illuminating the entire Tianchi Pond transparently.

The water in the Tianchi is very clear and blue, and you can clearly see the greenery and stones at the bottom of the water. The ripples on the surface of the water were gradually ironed out at the sound of a command, and became as waveless as a mirror.

Then something strange happened, and the surface of the water began to slowly change, from clear to blue, from blue to green, from green to purple, from purple to red, and then pale red-pink-crimson······· It deepened until it became bloody.

This change scared her enough with a cup of tea.

When she saw that the water in her hands was still as clear as ever, she couldn't help but sweat and hair stand on end, even if the sun was shining on her body, she felt cold behind her.

The people around him were not affected in the slightest, and they all packed up the bottles and cans in their hands and planned to leave.

Seeing that the people were almost gone, she hurried to follow, and had to admit that she was very timid. Especially after coming to this ancient world inexplicably, she is even more afraid of these things that she has and does not have.

Halfway up the mountain, three forks in the road appeared in front of me. She hurriedly called out to an uncle and asked, "Uncle, which way do you want to go to East Street?" ”

"Ahead, not far." The old man was very kind, and turned onto another path after speaking.

The fence quickened his pace to catch up with the pedestrians on the road, but even if the old men carried the water, their feet were fast and scary. After a while, she was gone, leaving her alone.

Although she was a little scared, she was fortunate that she had walked most of the mountain roads, and the official road was already close at hand, so she was a little relieved.

It's just that she didn't expect that she was stunned again as soon as she went to the official road.

There were two branches on the road, both of which extended deep into the forest, and she didn't know which one went to East Street, and she was very distressed.

What to do? It was noon, and there was no one on the road. She found a big tree and sat on the ground, hoping to meet a few mountain people.

From the fifth watch to noon, she went up and down the mountain, and she was tired. So he leaned against the big tree and squinted his eyes to rest, and fell asleep while squinting.

I don't know how long later, she suddenly heard someone talking, and she immediately woke up. An old man was found passing by with a hoe.

"Uncle, how do you get to East Street?"

"To the south."

As he spoke, the old man quickly turned onto a ridge on the side of the road and walked away.

"Which way to the south?······ Uncle. ”

Fence fell and shouted twice at her back, but they ignored her.

Saying "to the south" is like playing the piano to a cow for a road idiot, is it equivalent to saying it in vain? The fence wants to cry without tears.

"Kid, are you going to East Street?" When she was anxious, angry and annoyed, an old woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

She hurriedly turned around and found a blind old woman on crutches approaching from a short distance. I thought to myself, the person who just talked to the old man should be her.

"Yes, old woman, can you tell me how to get to East Street?" As she spoke, she hurriedly added, "Which one of the front is going south?" ”

"Come with me! I was on my way to East Street. The old woman beckoned to her as she spoke.

"Thank you!" Fence fell hurriedly followed, feeling that the tears were about to fall.

Although the old lady could not see, she was very familiar with the road. It is clear where to turn and where to detour.

She led her through a grove, turned a corner, pointed ahead, and said, "Look, child, is there a sign there?" ”

Fence looked in the direction she was pointing, and she saw the sign of the East Street Market.

The sign was huge, as big as a thunderbolt, and instantly struck her to the point where she couldn't even walk.

Because they had only walked less than 200 meters, even if they turned around now, they could clearly see the big tree they had just stayed in.

She couldn't wait to find a tree and hang herself. She couldn't see something that even a blind man could see on such a big sign. It's been wasted so long, and I'm tired and hungry.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that she feels that she is already stupid and hopeless, and she has no face to see people.

Fortunately, the blind grandmother was very kind and did not laugh at her, and chatted with her amiably throughout the whole process, so that she would not be ashamed to death.

East Street intersection

"Thank you, old woman! This is the water of the Heavenly Pond, which you hold. "She gave her water before leaving.

"Child, this water is too precious for the old woman to want." She refused to ask for it. But in the end, it was difficult to accept it under the insistence of the fence.

Seeing the old grandmother's back walk away, she planned to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he met Qin Yemian who was not far away.
