Chapter Forty-Nine: A Sleeve Corner
The long tune is tactful, as if through the time like water, Xie Chongning suddenly saw himself six or seven years ago, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to Mu Yu.
Because of the silence on the tea table, Mu Yu also happened to capture these few sentences in the song, and the bitter sea turned around and realized Lan Yin early.
When she was confused, she raised her eyes, and just met such a pair of bottomless black eyes, and she was distracted for a while.
"Suo Lin Bag" turned out to be such a song, but why, why did Wuchen mention this song to her, she had no resentment, and she was not angry, who was the "I" in that song?
If there is a person with hatred in her heart, she must really not think of anyone else except Xie Chongning, so she looked at Xie Chongning.
Xie Chongning didn't know what he was thinking, his grim face was also distracted, and the two looked at each other like this for a few seconds, but they didn't react.
Fang Xiao saw the two of them looking at each other, and coughed a little strangely.
Mu Yu listened to the coughing sound, and lowered his head to pick up the teacup with a blank look, but the tea in the teacup had already bottomed out, and the empty teacup could not relieve the dryness in his mouth when he put it to his mouth, but had a feeling of wanting to cover it.
Mu Yu, who lowered his head, his slender eyelashes were constantly stirring like butterflies, and Xie Chongning seemed to see the shadow of the eyelashes under his eyelids.
"I've heard that the women in southern Xinjiang are very beautiful, I don't know if there are any beautiful girls in this juggling troupe." Fang Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Changjin with some evil anger.
Is there a beautiful girl, Lin Changjin was not curious at all, and only raised the corners of his mouth at an angle, which was regarded as a polite response.
After the song stopped, the old man who collected the money walked up to Mu Yi with a smile again, "I don't know if the girl's "Suolin Bag" is this song?" ”
Mu Yu has never heard it, and she is not familiar with the tune, but this song is not suitable for her, maybe Wuchen's "Suolin Bag" is not this one, "I haven't heard it either, but what I want to listen to should not be this one." ”
""Suolin Bag?" Xie Chongning raised his eyes and muttered the name of the song, feeling inexplicable in his heart.
"Miss Mu, the rice cake has been baked, I don't know how much you want?" The shopkeeper immediately came over.
Lin Changjin picked up the rice cake very gentlemanly, and the four of them went to the middle street to see the juggling troupe from southern Xinjiang.
This juggling troupe has been in the capital for a few days, attracting a lot of audiences, Fang Xiao has always had the heart to watch, and finally caught up with the time for Xiumu.
It's just that as soon as I arrived at the middle street, I saw a sea of people, and it seemed that they were all here for the juggling troupe, and the original spacious main street couldn't even walk down.
Fang Xiao shook the folding fan and chuckled, "It seems that this juggling troupe is really popular, if you want to take a look, you have to squeeze in!" ”
With that, Fang Xiao strode away, not squeamishing into the crowd at all.
Lin Changjin wanted to hold Mu Yu and prevent her from being scattered by the crowd, but when he waved his left hand, he found that there was no longer that lilac figure around him.
When Mu Xiao was talking, Mu Yu was bumped into by the people behind him, and rushed into the crowd with her, her height of 63 meters is not short among girls, but there are tall men around her, covering her vision.
She wanted to turn around and walk out of the crowd, but she didn't have enough strength at all, so she could only be pushed forward by the crowd. Suddenly, a large hand passed through the crowd, clasping her right hand accurately.
Mu Yu was shocked, thinking that he had met a hooligan, but he was about to shout in fright but was pulled into a warm chest. Musk mixed with citrus scents poured into the tip of her nose, which was particularly familiar.
Her stunned and frightened appearance broke into Xie Chongning's obsidian eyes, like a frightened fawn. Xie Chongning seemed to miss a beat in his heart, and gently smoothed Shun Muyu's soft hair, "Don't be afraid, it's me." ”
Although he was not a hooligan, Mu Yu was more nervous than when he met a hooligan, and then took a step back and escaped from Xie Chongning's arms.
Xie Chongning's chest was exceptionally strong, and his deep facial features were illuminated by the sun, as if he was coated with a layer of light that could not be blasphemed, and the manly aura that broke into the tip of his nose carried a sense of aggression, and she didn't know why she was short of breath, so she immediately opened the distance between the two.
Feeling the warm and smooth skin slipping away from his fingertips, Xie Chongning's Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Hold on to my sleeve, there are too many people here." ”
Mu Yu glanced at the black robe, and when he hesitated, he was hit by someone behind him again, and seeing that he was about to fall, Xie Chongning once again grabbed her shoulders and pressed her against his body.
The people who came felt that it was Mu Yu who stood still, blocked the way, and wanted to complain, but he felt that Xie Chongning's black eyes were filled with a cold breath, like the king of hell, which made him frown, so he could only lower his head and complain and walked away.
Seeing this scene, Mu Yu had no choice but to gently pinch Xie Chongning's robe with two fingers, "Then trouble Lord Xie." ”
The chill on Xie Chongning's face retreated, and he seemed to have a faint tenderness when he spoke, "What's the difference between you doing this and not catching it?" He raised his arm slightly, and pulled out the sleeve of Mu Yu's hand.
The silk material was already smooth, and even if Mu Yu's fingertips were strong, he couldn't grasp the coldness that was withdrawn.
Xie Chongning patiently stretched out his hand again, "Hold it steady." ”
Mu Yu is not good at being pretentious, pursed the corners of his lips and shook it softly, grabbed Xie Chongning's large sleeve, and held it in his hand.
Against the light, she seemed to see a faint smile on the corner of Xie Chongning's mouth, but when she looked closely, she couldn't see it really, as if she was as cold as ever.
Lin Changjin couldn't find anyone left and right, so he could only squeeze in with the crowd.
Xie Chongning took Mu Yu all the way forward, and I don't know if Xie Chongning brought his own cold or what, the road was unhindered, and the two walked directly to the stage of the juggling troupe.
There was a beautiful girl standing on the stage, different from the tactful softness of the Central Plains, this girl's eyes were raised, the bridge of her nose was high, and there was some boldness in her charm.
The girl was dressed in a red and blue Luo skirt, and she also wore a huge silver ornament around her neck, which may be their characteristic there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Yi Xue, from southern Xinjiang, I heard that there are many capable people in the capital, I have a problem, I don't know which of you dares to come up and challenge." The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, but she was interested in Mu Yu.
Xie Chongning tilted his head slightly, and saw Mu Yu's eyes shining brightly, full of curiosity, and there was a little shallow expectation in his heart.
"I'm coming!" Fang Xiao was dressed in white, shook the folding fan twice, and jumped onto the stage arrogantly.
I don't know what the problem is, Fang Xiao is also bold enough. Mu Yu pursed his red lips and unconsciously pulled Xie Chongning's robe.
Yi Xue glanced at the man who jumped on the stage, he was dressed in white and was free and easy, but his originally handsome face was indeed a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes, and at first glance he was a person with a lot of flowers.
"You don't even know what my problem is, so you dare to come up?" Yi Xue picked her chin, with a bit of arrogance.
Fang Xiao smiled arrogantly, "It's okay, it's okay, if I can't answer, I still have friends." "He took Xie Chongning with him, what is he afraid of, isn't his friend just used to pit?
"He said it wouldn't be us, would it?" Mu Yu had a bad premonition.
"Just ignore him." Xie Chongning replied indifferently.
Na Yixue suddenly took out a jar from under the stage, and then she reached into the jar and used tweezers to take out a black scorpion from the jar. This scorpion is dark black all over, and its body is larger than that of the scorpion in the Central Plains, and its claws are open and dancing, which is by no means good at stubble.
"This is the scorpion of our southern Xinjiang, and it is also the head of the five poisons." After that, Yi Xue took off the jade pendant around her waist and threw it into the jar, "Can you take out my jade pendant without breaking the jar and taking away the scorpion?" ”
It is said that the people of southern Xinjiang are poisonous, but this is too ...... Mu Yu pouted, looking at Fang Xiao, who was standing on the stage and riding a tiger, and couldn't help worrying about him.
Fang Xiao stared at the pitch-black jar and asked quietly, "How poisonous is this scorpion?" ”
"The scorpions in my southern Xinjiang are naturally extremely poisonous, deadly in two hours, and there is no antidote." Yi Xue blinked strangely, emphasizing that there was no antidote.
"Hmm...... Fang thinks he is a person who cherishes his life, girl, this is indeed a problem. With that, Fang Xiao cast a distressed glance at Xie Chongning.
Xie Chongning naturally turned his head and ignored Fang Xiao's call for help.
Lin Changjin, who was worried that he would not be able to find Mu Yu, followed the gaze of Fang Xiao standing on the stage, and happened to find Mu Yu, as well as Xie Chongning, who deliberately avoided his sight, and let go of his hanging heart.
He walked quickly to Mu Yu's side, "It turns out that you are here, you were scattered by the crowd just now, I am still worried about you, are you injured?" ”
Lin Changjin quickly swept over Mu Yu's body, but at a glance he noticed Mu Yu's hand clutching the corner of the black sleeve.
Mu Yu looked at Lin Changjin's somewhat strange expression, and then noticed that he had been grabbing Xie Chongning's sleeve just now. She hurriedly let go of her hand, but the silk material was squeamish, and the sleeves she had just clenched still had indescribable folds.
"I'm not injured, it was Master Xie who took me all the way here, which made Brother Lin worried." Her ears were flushed, and the delicate red blood streaks seemed to be clearly visible on the thin ear wings.
Yi Xue saw that no one responded to Fang Xiao below, and couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say that your friend could help you?" But when I saw your friend, I didn't answer, who is this friend of yours? ”
Everyone looked at Yi Xue's wandering gaze, and they were afraid that she would suddenly catch herself like a strong man, so they all stepped back, leaving Mu Yu and the three of them in the center of the crowd, so they were not conspicuous.
"Yes, yes, you see the remaining three are my friends." Fang Xiao smiled with relief and pointed to their location with a folding fan.
Once again, everyone exhaled in unison, only to feel that they had been spared.
The smile on the corner of Mu Yu's mouth froze, and she knew that it would be no good to meet Fang Xiaozhun.
