Chapter 376: Wandering Border City
After Hu Xianxian accepted a yuan of Hun Zhen hairpin, he said goodbye to Lie Yufeng. He didn't do much to keep it, but just gave her two bottles of Hundred Flowers Dew.
"You keep it for Hong'er to drink, and I will ask for medicine to heal the lung injury."
"You bring it, I will often refine the Hundred Flowers Dew in the future." Lie Yufeng stuffed the porcelain vase into her hand and sighed twice: "I won't treat Hong'er badly anymore." “
Hu Xianxian no longer shirked, and after the two exchanged cherishes, she returned to the guest room where she lived, packed up some necessary belongings, and left Qingqiu Country with Caique.
On the third day of the lunar month, she rode a colorful magpie to the border city on the border between the French Dynasty and the states of the Western Regions.
The Lingshan trade road was reopened, and the merchants gathered in this city, which was very prosperous. Hu Xianxian walked on the street, surrounded by aliens dressed in colorful clothes. They speak in the south and in the north, and their looks are also varied, and Hu Xianxian looks very inconspicuous among them.
Their dress, words and deeds here can not be said to be different, just because they are quite different. Hu Xianxian is naturally inconspicuous in a group of aliens, she likes this inconspicuous feeling, she can walk in peace.
Hu Xianxian didn't live in a hotel or a restaurant, so he took Caique and kept walking from street to street. She likes the fireworks in this small town, which gives her a sense of steadiness that she still exists.
Caique didn't want to follow her around like this, and she always looked like she was lacking in interest. Hu Xianxian finally stopped, not because she was tired of walking, but because her lungs couldn't stand it.
There are many small shops selling barbecue beef and mutton in the border city, and the fishy and smoky smell made Hu Xianxian cough all the way.
She didn't want to leave here, and she couldn't find a place to stay for a while, so she squatted under the eaves of someone else's house to rest.
One morning, I heard the bell ringing, and I realized that there was a bell tower at the east gate of the city. Hu Xianxian saw that there were few pedestrians in the early morning, so she rode a colorful magpie to the top of the bell tower, so she found a good place to stay.
The bell tower is the tallest building in the city, with a wide view, just right for her to see the prosperity of the world. The bell tower is also very permeable to the wind and light, and the strange smell of the smoke will not come, and she will not feel depressed.
Also, the bell ringer of this bell tower pulls the rope to ring the bell at the bottom of the building, so she doesn't have to climb upstairs, and no one will disturb her when she is on the top of the bell tower.
Hu Xianxian settled in the small pavilion where the bell tower was placed with a large bronze bell, the corner of the small pavilion was too small for others, for Hu Xianxian who only needed to find a place to sit cross-legged, hey, it was very generous.
No one noticed her for the first few days after she settled down, but then someone gradually noticed it, and then the army guarding the city at the east gate asked her to move out.
Hu Xianxian summoned the head of the Xiangjun team guarding the city at the east gate, and asked Caique to wait under the bell tower, and she flew up.
The head of the Xiang army team was dumbfounded, she pointed at him again, and spread her arms to make a flapping motion. She meant to let the head of the Xiang army also fly up, and the head of the Xiang army shook his head, ran away in panic, and the matter was over.
When Hu Xianxian drank the dew of hundred flowers, her lungs were really much more comfortable, and she was reluctant to drink more. Occasionally, I once dropped a few drops of Baihua dew in the wine, and found that drinking it in this way also has the effect of clearing the throat and moistening the lungs. She was so happy that she drank like this every day, and she couldn't do without wine.
When she first made her home in the bell tower, some of the nearby residents were afraid of her. On Chinese New Year's Eve, she saved a little girl, and they became close to her.
The little girl's surname is Wu, and the family lives by the wall of the East Gate, and they fled from the Central Plains in the famine years. The family worked hard, slowly accumulated the family business, and opened a small inn to operate.
The little girl of the martial arts family is very lively, and Hu Xianxian will watch her kick stones, shuttlecocks, and ropes when she has nothing to do, reliving her childhood games.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers and fireworks were set off, and the curtains of the small inn were lit. The little girl of the martial arts family was so frightened that she jumped directly down from the window on the third floor.
At that time, thanks to Hu Xianxian's quick eyes, he flew to catch the martial family's little Nier, and quickly helped them extinguish the fire.
While thanking Hu Xianxian, they cursed who threw fireworks without long eyes.
Hu Xianxian told them not to scold, saying that that person was unintentional and was a child, and besides, this child still has an indissoluble bond with the Wu family.
Hu Xianxian clearly saw that it was You Ximing, the son of the commander of the city army, who set off a kind of fireworks called "Cupola Cannon". He aimed the fireworks at the third-floor window, just because he asked Wu Xiaonier to play with him, and she hid in the third-floor house.
After the fire broke out, the boy cried and cried to save people, but the family members who accompanied him were afraid that he would tell the truth about causing trouble, so they forcibly took him away.
When the Wu family heard Hu Xianxian say this, they didn't say anything more. The lady of the Wu family asked Wu Xiaonier again if she would cause trouble this year, and Hu Xianxian shrugged her shoulders.
Seeing that the Wu family was full of worries, she smiled and said, "I'll give her a big name and keep her safe for her to turn evil into good fortune no matter what happens." ”
Hu Xianxian pretended to frown and thought of a suitable name, in fact, she had already known some future affairs of this martial arts little girl, and knew what her big name should be.
"'Idle Cloud Wild Crane' is the most leisurely, so it is named 'Cloud Crane'." Wu Yunhe's name is a bit heroic, which can make her survive the seven disasters and eight tribulations. Hu Xian Xian Shen babbled.
The Wu family invited her to have a reunion dinner and gave her a warm cotton jacket, she didn't need these, but she still accepted it gladly, she couldn't thin their hearts.
Since then, the residents of the neighborhood have regarded her as a neighbor. You Ximing later learned from Wu Yunhe that Hu Xianxian blocked the trouble for him, and he was very grateful to her in his heart.
You Ximing wanted to thank her, but there was no good thank you gift. He told his mother that there was a very spiritual half-immortal living on the bell tower, and as long as he gave her something, he could keep the family safe.
The commander's wife made a robe for her son to send, this robe is dark blue, and the cuffs of the placket are embroidered with purple auspicious clouds, which is very exquisite.
But as soon as Hu Xianxian tried it on, he couldn't help laughing, this robe is men's. Maybe the Commander's Lady didn't expect this half-immortal to be a woman, right?
The robe was slightly wide, and Hu Xianxian still wore it. Her original robe was already dirty and torn, although she didn't care about wearing it, she didn't want people to say that everyone in the door was called Hanako.
During the day, when the people are noisy and not suitable for practice, Hu Xianxian drinks at the edge of the bell tower. Her hair was crooked in a long time, and a few strands of hair were hanging down from her sideburns, and she was just leaning lazily on the edge of the brickwork, which was only two fingers wide.
She has recovered well from her injuries these days, and her lungs are only suffocated for a while, and there is no hemoptysis. The body is comfortable, and the mood is much more relaxed.
Time flies like a shuttle to March of the eleventh year of the German Yuan Dynasty, the willow wind blows, the apricot blossom rain moistens the heart, and Hu Xianxian has a very comfortable life.
What makes her even more comfortable is that a few little girls will always quietly come to see her under the bell tower when the bell rings in the morning, and then quietly leave some snacks, small purses or something.
Hu Xianxian wondered if they regarded themselves as the lovers of their dreams, or if they were here to pray for her to grant them a happy marriage?
After Hu Xianxian saw them a few times, he raised the wine gourd in his hand to them and invited them to drink with a smile. When they saw her like this, they all blushed, covered their lips and ran away with a smile.
Once, while walking down the street, I heard one of the girls say to the other: "I don't want to get married, I can't forget the fairy brother on the bell tower." When he smiled at me, I felt like the whole sky was full of red clouds......"
Brother Immortal? Evil smile? Hu Xianxian, who was drinking, almost choked to death when he heard it.
