013, get into trouble
The night has been scattered unconsciously, and lanterns are hung at the door of the shops on both sides of the street, all kinds of colors, it seems that this should be the legendary Cangzhou city that never sleeps - "Curved Willow Lane".
Yu Yao carried the coins she had just earned, and triumphantly walked down the street looking for a place to sell food.
"Sugar gourd! Sell sugar gourds! ”
"Baked sweet potatoes! Sell roasted sweet potatoes! ”
……
The cries of street vendors came and went, and Yu Yao didn't know what to buy for a while.
I often eat baked sweet potatoes by myself, because my mother grows them every year, and I remember eating this kind of thing when I was a child, and it should be delicious.
Yu Yao stepped forward and imitated others: "Give me a string of sugar gourds!" ”
"Okay!" The vendor smiled all over his face and took a string of sugar gourds to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao took a coin and gave it to the vendor, who stretched out his hands and took it with a smile.
The first time Yu Yao bought something, she didn't know how to ask the price, let alone bargain. The vendor didn't make a sound after collecting the money, and she didn't know how much, and Yuyao didn't bother to care about it, now for her, the most important thing she wanted to do was to eat sugar gourds.
I couldn't wait to take a bite, and the sour and sweet feeling instantly filled my throat, it was really delicious.
"Hmmm! Not bad! Yu Yao happily muttered to herself.
But it didn't seem like I could fill my stomach just by eating this, so I bought another roasted sweet potato. Swallowing all these things into her stomach, Yu Yao nodded with satisfaction.
The streets are brightly lit, and I don't know what time it is.
Yu Yao looked around, and anything in front of her was attractive enough for her.
As I walked, I suddenly saw a bunch of people in front of me in a circle, cheering from time to time.
Driven by curiosity, Yu Yao walked to the front and tiptoed to look inside, but she couldn't see anything, she circled around the crowd, but she still couldn't see what was going on inside, she wanted to squeeze inside, and found that it was all men, so she had to give up and prepare to leave.
"Huh~ This girl, why is she here alone at such a late hour, are you lost?" Someone noticed Yu Yao.
Yu Yao didn't want to pay attention to him, turned around and left.
"Huh~ Don't be in a hurry to go! Master, I'll send you back! As he spoke, the man reached out to pull Yu Yao's arm.
Yu Yao quickly raised her arm and slapped him in the face. The man reflexively covered the face where he had been hit. His eyes widened with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"You dare to beat Young Master Ben! Look for death! As he spoke, he came over and raised his hand to hit Yu Yao.
Yu Yao grabbed his wrist raised in mid-air with one hand, and the man couldn't move.
At this time, several people in short black clothes surrounded Yu Yao in the middle.
All of them are fierce and vicious, all of them have tied up their horses, and their moves are arranged, just waiting for a touch.
Yu Yao was suddenly blindsided, in Yunling Peak, because she was a girl, the master taught her brother to take care of her every day and tolerate her, could it be that the people here didn't know to be friendly to girls?
So many men are really embarrassed to besiege a girl?
If you look closely at the person who just accosted you, he was born a little human, and he was very particular about dressing, and with the current situation, he should not be an ordinary person.
Yu Yao didn't want to fight with them, there were so many people on the other side, she might suffer a loss, and she had to find a chance to slip away.
So he rose up on tiptoe, took a step in the air, stepped on the top of the heads of those people, rushed out of the circle, and ran when he landed.
"Chase!" The young master-like man ordered the group of people dressed in black shorts.
After receiving the order, several black-clothed people chased after Yu Yao in the direction where Yu Yao ran.
When she ran, a few coins that Yu Yao stuffed into her clothes package actually fell, and she was distressed, but she couldn't stop to pick them up, which made her angry and annoyed.
Govern these wicked people!
Yu Yao took out a few coins as hidden weapons, and turned back coldly and threw them at the gang chasing her.
In an instant, the people in black all rolled to the ground.
The brocade-clothed man at the head probably didn't expect Yu Yao to be extraordinary, so he stopped in a panic. Yu Yao sped up and ran, and after a while, she threw them off.
Yu Yao didn't know where she had gone, it was pitch black everywhere, there were occasional lights in a few places, and there was no hawker's shouting.
The sporadic light was all coming out of the Gaomen compound.
Through the faint light, you can see the doors of these large mansions.
"Lee's House"! These two words, both familiar and unfamiliar, have appeared in my mind countless times, this is where I was born! Now it has nothing to do with me, and it has become a luxury to want to go in.
For the first time, Yu Yao felt a sad feeling in her heart, her nose was sour, and her eyes were warm. She sniffed, hugged the thin package she was carrying tightly in her arms, and squatted down against the tall courtyard wall.
The thin and thin little body is curled up, looking so small, so small.
It's really not fun to run out alone, and she regrets that she shouldn't be too willful. It looks like I'll have to spend the night here tonight, and I can't think of where I'm going to live.
Yu Yao planned to leave the city and return to Yunling Peak as soon as the city gate opened the next morning.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles! Knock~"
"It's dry, watch out for the candles! Knock~"
In a daze, I heard the sound of banging and the sound of the husband shouting, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.
Yu Yao stuck hard to the corner of the wall to avoid the sight of her husband. The husband walked past with a lantern and didn't notice her at all, maybe no one was there.
It's cold, it's really cold. Although it was early summer, the nights were still chilly.
Yu Yao hurriedly draped the change of clothes she was carrying on her body, but she felt that it didn't work at all.
I heard that if you freeze badly, you will get sick, but you can't get sick, otherwise you won't be able to go back.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao took off the change of clothes she was wearing on her body, folded them, and ran along the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion.
It warmed up after a while, but it was still more comfortable like this.
I don't know how long it took, but it was getting brighter.
Yu Yao was afraid that someone in the Li Mansion would get up early and see her, so she would stay away, but she couldn't tell the direction now, and she didn't know which way to go was the direction to the city gate.
After walking aimlessly for a while, he met a person who got up early, and Yu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"I wonder which gate the girl is asking?" Passers-by looked Yu Yao up and down, puzzled, probably because they saw her at a girl's house, how could she appear here alone at this time.
Yu Yao remembered that she had heard her master and mother say that Minshan was directly north of Cangzhou City, so it must be the north gate that she came in.
"North Gate!" Yu Yao said affirmatively.
"Oh! You follow the road all the way forward, turn left at the intersection, ask people again, and you will be there. Passers-by enthusiastically showed her the way, perhaps because she was a little pitiful.
