Chapter 1: The First Arrival
This is a border town, because of a century-old osmanthus tree, it is called osmanthus town by word of mouth.
It happened to be on the border between Cangguo and Hengguo, and the two countries also fought a few years ago, and they fell into a depression under the chaos of war.
But since the new emperor ascended the throne and the two countries signed a peace treaty, this border has been quiet in recent years.
As a result, there are more and more merchants who come and go to trade, and there are street stalls and inns one after another.
The shouts of street vendors came and went, and the streets were bustling everywhere.
The things sold are also different in style, whether it is an oil-paper umbrella in the south of the Yangtze River or a horse pole in the north of the country, you can find it here.
The clothes of the guests are also eclectic, and the people look even more strange.
Yunlai Inn is the largest inn in this osmanthus town, and the rooms are often booked half a month in advance to stay.
This inn is built on a large scale, the front yard and the backyard, not to mention the water pavilion on the floor, the decoration inside is even more interesting, according to the style of these two countries, it is one side and a half, and the warp and weft are distinct.
Of course, guests stay here not only because it is interesting, but also because it is big enough, there are enough people, and the information is fast enough, so you can hear about any business opportunities if you are not careful.
On this day, it was getting dark, but the girl sitting at the door of the Yunlai Inn still had no intention of standing up.
Dressed in a yellow and green skirt, her figure is particularly delicate, the white ribbon around her waist is embroidered with silver dark lines that can only be seen when she gets closer, her long black hair is tied up behind her back with the same ribbon, but she is covered with a white gauze hat on her head, which is indistinguishable.
At this time, it is already autumn, the night is cool and dewy, the hustle and bustle of the streets has faded during the day, and the pedestrians on the road are sparse. After all, at the border, as soon as it gets dark, people are naturally cautious.
The shopkeeper's call Xiaoer lit the lantern at the door, and in a blink of an eye, the lanterns on the street were also lit up one after another.
The old osmanthus tree has bloomed sporadically on the branches, and the fragrance is soaked in the moonlight and slowly drifts in the cool breeze, which makes people can't help but want to chase into this sweet fragrance.
I don't know where I'm lost, and I don't know what kind of reality I'll be tied to back to the present moment.
However, Lingxi was very confused at the moment, she sat here for a day, watched for a day, and finally accepted her fate.
This is not filming, let alone dreaming. Lao Tzu really crossed over! Her perception of crossing, who has never read online articles, is, ah, I'm dead, ah, I'm still alive.
I remembered my last life for a long time, and then made a summary. It's okay, orphans, it's okay, it's single, it's okay, it's okay, there's no deposit. Completely carefree.
Her nature of being at ease with what happened since she was a child made her slowly calm down, at least she was alive, wasn't she?
I touched my arms and legs again, this body is sound and the limbs look fine, but the pain inside and out is unbearable, I don't know what sins I suffered before.
On this day, she didn't look for a place to take care of whether her current appearance was the same as her previous life, and she didn't think about her age at the moment.
After all, accepting that she had crossed this thing had already taken all her thinking skills.
All the thoughts are running to a place, which looks like ancient times, how should I find something to make money to support myself, and I can't go to the job when I say I can program! I touched the pocket up and down, and there was not a copper plate.
And the sky has begun to darken, you know, the ancient black, is really black!
"This girl, it's been several hours, you see, the sun is going down, the people you are waiting for, I think, I won't come today, our little shop is full of rooms today, otherwise let the little one go to the opposite inn to help you leave a room?" Maybe tomorrow early in the morning, the person you are waiting for, he will arrive! ”
The shopkeeper is a clever person, this woman is neatly dressed, and she doesn't dare to be abrupt, seeing that the other party doesn't reply, she rubs her hands and says, "That's okay, you wait, you have something to order." After saying that, he turned back to the store and went back to the shopkeeper.
"Hehe, I see, maybe it's the daughter of a family who is learning to elope with someone, but I'm afraid this lover brother won't be able to come~ Let's take a place here, don't have too many mandarin ducks who elope and escape from the gate~"
The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus in one hand, stroked his beard in the other, and looked out of the door with slanted eyes: "I have opened this inn for so many years, but I have seen and heard more about this matter." ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the shopkeeper stood at the door and looked at it, his mouth wide open:
"The master, the shopkeeper, is the army."
The shopkeeper hurriedly pressed the abacus, turned out of the counter, and stood at the door to look, but still stroked his beard: "It stands to reason that it is normal for there to be an army in this town, and we used to fight here, and there are also regular patrols of the army." ”
"It's just that in recent years, it has been peaceful, there has been no war, and the general has been very strict in discipline, and these officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter the city armed on weekdays, let alone disturb the people on horseback. Now, I'm afraid something has happened. Tsk, don't look at the excitement, there are many people living in our inn, I'm afraid that someone has caused some trouble, and it is not appropriate to close the door at the moment. ”
"Hey, why is the girl at the door gone......" The shopkeeper turned around and found that the girl who had been sitting on the corridor in front of the store all afternoon was suddenly gone.
In the blink of an eye, a leading officer and soldier had already ridden up to him and asked condescendingly: "You, come here, have you ever seen a beautiful woman passing by today?" You'd better answer honestly. ”
The shopkeeper couldn't be frightened, and he couldn't answer for a while. The shopkeeper hurriedly came up, bowed his waist and said, "This official master, the little one has not seen any beautiful girls today, and he does business as usual all day long. ”
After a pause, he said, "But speaking of which, there is indeed a strange woman who has been sitting on my porch for a day, wearing a hat, and she can't tell whether she is beautiful or not. But she walks on the front foot, and you come on the back foot. I don't know where I went. ”
The officer and soldier stared at the two of them for a long time, then looked up and looked around, then turned the horse's head and said to his hands: "Find me well in this town, the county lord of Qingyun has given an order, and she will be arrested!" said that this female devil has been seriously injured by the people in the martial arts after the battle of Luoyang, and her mind has been lost, and she fled all the way from the Central Plains to here, I don't believe that she can escape from the pass! ”
"But, boss, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the female devil has never shown her true face, how can we tell the difference, there are a lot of people coming in and out of the gate here, maybe she has slipped out today."
"Nonsense, didn't you hear from the shopkeeper that he was still here just now! A group of fools, a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and their eyesight is not as good as a small shopkeeper! ”
He also said, "The city gate is closed today, and she is afraid that she will not be able to get out, so I will search the town well tonight, and search carefully from house to house!" If you can't find it, keep the gates close tomorrow for me!" This news is urgent, and it is too late to notify all the big families if they want to ban everyone from the city, and if they are forcibly banned, there will be many people who will be offended. In this way, the people leaving the customs will carefully check me one by one, and ask them clearly, regardless of whether they are familiar or large, especially those who hide their appearances, but if there is any difference in their behavior, they will be arrested immediately. Those small households are the easiest to fish in troubled waters, so they don't have to go out of the city today. If we run away from this big fish, we won't be able to eat and walk away! Tighten the skins for me! Don't get out of here! ”
At this time, Lingxi was hunched over in the thick shade of the roof, but it was obvious that her eyes under the hat were blank at the moment, but she was still very cautious.
Just now, as if instinctively, I felt the danger, and I wanted to jump over the railing and hide in the corner, but I didn't want to fly to the roof in one go.
Before I had time to feel that I could fly, I felt that my chest hurt even more, and I actually coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Could it be that this body was injured by these people before? What else do you say about the Demon Dao Demon Girl? I? Ah no, she?? Lingxi held his forehead and felt that his train of thought was a little broken.
It's rare to have another opportunity to be a person, and she just wants to live a good life.
But right now, there are obviously strong winds and waves waiting for her arrival!
New injuries and old problems struck again in an instant, unable to withstand the pain from the hundreds of bones in his limbs, and his body slowly fell into the shadows of the roof.
But suddenly a black shadow flashed quickly, and it was about to fall in front of people, wrapping her around her waist like a dragonfly in water, and landing in a small courtyard after a few rises.
