Chapter 54
The lights are on, and the lights are dim.
A lively border town is bursting with bright fireworks.
"Pear, is this really okay?" A woman asked, squirming her head out from behind the screen.
"Don't worry, miss. Only in this way can you meet someone who treats Miss sincerely," Xiao Li smiled and pulled Ruoqiang out.
Ruoqiang looked left and right in front of the bronze mirror, in which her long hair was tied up, she was dressed in ink-colored clothes, and a fake beard was stuck to her lips. It looks ridiculous.
She looked at her ugly face again, her expression darkened, and she turned away.
"Who likes someone like me?" Ruoqiang hung his head and muttered to himself.
"Miss," Xiao Li turned Ruoqiang's body around, "Have you forgotten what the master said?" People who really like Miss don't care about Miss's appearance. ”
Ruoqiang sighed, his head hanging lower, "I hope so"
Ruoqiang walked uncomfortably on the street in men's clothes, and although she wore a mask, she still felt that many eyes were on her.
After walking for a while, Ruoqiang suddenly retreated. Looking back, Xiao Li actually got away at some point.
"Pear!" Ruoqiang looked around through the crowd, and the sound of the crowd was drowned out in the crowd.
Because of the crowding, Ruoqiang was quickly squeezed back into place, and she could only continue to move forward with the flow of people.
A group of people suddenly gathered not far away, and the people around were curious and wanted to come forward to take a look. Ruoqiang wanted to take advantage of this crowd to get out of the big line, but he was unexpectedly squeezed in front of him again.
In a circle of people, a boy was being whipped on the ground, rolling around trying to avoid the whip, but to no avail.
Xiao Er scolded him, "You thief has come to the store three or four times to steal, see if I don't kill you today"
The boy cried while holding his stomach, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my mother is really hungry." Please, please save her"
"Save? I can't even eat myself and save you, if everyone in this world can ask for help if they have a hard time, then there will be no pain in this world" Xiao Er snorted lightly, looked at the people around him and smiled.
The people around laughed, Xiao Er's words sounded indifferent, but in fact they were the truth.
Ruoqiang squeezed to the front and frowned.
"How much he stole, I'll give it for him"
As soon as Ruoqiang's words came out, Xiao Er immediately turned his head and looked her up and down. Ruoqiang tightened his mask uncomfortably, for fear that he would recognize it.
"Don't be a joke and meddle with this son, if you don't like to pay, if you provoke trouble. Let's go to the Qingtian Lord and say, my reason will not fall half a point"
Ruoqiang felt the colorful eyes around him, lowered his head, took out a money bag from his wide sleeve, and handed it to him, "Is this enough?" ”
Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he opened the money bag, and he smiled at Ruoqiang, "This master is really kind, I will let this kid go today." Let me say more, Childe can help him once, but he can't help him for a lifetime. ”
After Xiao Er finished speaking, he put the money bag in his arms and yelled at the boy, "Don't kowtow to thank the son, thank you for meeting a noble person today, otherwise I would have to kill you."
The crowd gradually dispersed, Ruoqiang stepped forward to help the boy up, patted the ashes off his body, "Does it still hurt?" ”
The boy stubbornly held back the tears in his eyes, and smiled at Ruoqiang, "It doesn't hurt." Childe saved me, and my life will be Childe's in the future."
Ruoqiang stopped the boy's movements, "In the future, remember that no matter how difficult it is, you can't steal" Ruoqiang took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, "I only brought so much with me when I went out today, if it is not enough, you will go to the first mansion in the east of the city"
The boy thanked him again and left. Ruoqiang stood up. The flow of people around her had decreased a lot, and she walked towards the marriage tree.
"Childe is asking for marriage?" A white-haired old man smiled and handed over the red sign.
"Huh?" Ruoqiang suddenly blushed, waved his hand and said, "No... No, I'm just passing through..."
"Childe don't be embarrassed, today is the Begging Festival. There are countless people passing by the old man, and you can see it at a glance if you ask for a sign."
Ruoqiang listened to the old man's words and blushed completely. She took the red slip and was suddenly a little stunned, not knowing what to write.
"If you don't know what to write, Childe might as well ponder it and follow his inner thoughts," the old man's words came to mind at the right time.
Ruoqiang looked at the gurgling river and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a sound passed by his ears, Ruoqiang's hand shook, and the red stick fell to the ground.
When she came back to her senses and lowered her head to pick it up, a pair of black and gold boots quickly picked up her red stick.
Ruoqiang looked up, fell into a blue eye, and then lowered her head again.
"Thanks... Thanks..."Ruoqiang looked at the man in front of him, thanked him with some difficulty, and took the red sign.
"The girl is also here to ask for a signature?" The beautiful voice sounded, making Ruoqiang stunned.
"How do you..."
"The girl's voice and my intuition," the man laughed.
Ruoqiang was in a hurry, so he forgot the disguise of his voice.
"Fate is wonderful" The old man opened his mouth lightly on the side, and then turned to leave.
"Why is a girl pretending to be a man?"
Ruoqiang heard his words and looked up at the person in front of him. The strange mask made Ruoqiang stunned and stunned, he was nervous just now and didn't see it clearly, but now he felt curious.
"But there's something on my face that fascinates the girl so much."
Ruoqiang was at the age of cardamom, and the man's words made Ruoqiang blush.
"Alright, no kidding with the girl. This is the goddess of marriage in my hometown, Goddess Yaxi, who will bless us with a good marriage."
"I see, is it possible for Childe to tell me her story?" Ruoqiang was very curious when she looked at the mask at the moment, which stimulated her curiosity.
Legend has it that Goddess Yaxi's husband died young, and she rejected the love and pursuit of many people and devoted herself to widowing her husband. and to help women find good marriages, because of her devotion and chastity are worshipped. After the death of the goddess Yaxi, she was made the god of marriage and worshipped..."
Ruoqiang listened to the man's words with relish, she had never seen it in the book, and she thought that it was a strange thing that had not yet been included in the book.
"Thank you Childe for solving your doubts, the little girl still has some things to do, so she will retire first" Ruoqiang suddenly remembered that she still had lantern riddles to solve, and I heard that this year's reward is a famous book. She hasn't read the book yet, and she can get the book while solving the riddle, so why not?
"It's very fateful with the girl, since the girl thinks this side is interesting. It's better to give the mask to the girl," Yan Qi smiled and took off the mask and handed it over.
Ruoqiang wanted to refuse, but the maskless face in the moonlight made Ruoqiang stunned....
It's the first time she's seen such a handsome face....
She looked at Yan Qi's face blankly, then lowered her head and left the scene as if she had fled...
