Chapter 26: Liuzhou City
Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng looked at each other and had already come up with an answer.
"Alright, thank you, little brother!"
"Give! You deserve it! β
A piece of silver the size of a thumb was thrown steadily on Xiao Er's hand.
Xiao Er was overjoyed at once, and put a towel on his shoulder.
"Gotcha, two! You guys have a good rest, just say hello when you have something! β
With that, he turned away and closed the door.
Lu Xiyi said with a serious face: "It should be right to listen to what Xiao Er said just now, and this Liuzhou City is not far from us, and it will be there in less than a day if you have good foot strength." β
"Why don't we go over and see what's going on?"
"Go ahead, since you have a chance, why don't you go and have a look."
Ah Leng listened to Lu Xiyi's words and decided to go and have a look together.
Early the next morning, a light rain fell in the city, and the rustling rain was soothing on the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window paper.
Lu Xiyi, who would have woken up before dawn, actually slept until dawn.
She opened the window after freshening up, and after a spring rain, people had taken off their thick clothes, and the women's families had changed into colorful dresses.
Large and small oil-paper umbrellas bloom in the city like flowers, and there is a pot of spring flowers on the windowsill.
She took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and relaxed.
"Alright, let's go see how he's doing!"
She opened the door as she spoke, and as soon as she opened it, Leng plunged into her room through the crack in the door.
Lu Xiyi was taken aback.
Ah Leng also woke up, quickly stood up from the ground, scratched his head embarrassedly, and asked, "You...... Are you up? β
"That...... Was it okay last night, I kept hearing you talking in my sleep outside the door, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I kept watching you outside the door. β
Looking at her? Lu Xiyi couldn't believe it, and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know that your body is just right, it's so cold this night, what if you freeze? β
Ah Liang disagreed.
"Oops, it's okay, it's okay! I'm a man, why do you freeze so easily, but you don't have a good body, and you haven't taken care of me day and night, are you tired? β
Lu Xiyi couldn't help but feel warm when she heard this, since her mother left, Ah Leng was still the first person to be so good to herself.
Just when she wanted to say thanks, Xiao Er came up with breakfast.
It's a couple of steaming buns and a bowl of egg custard, and just looking at it makes you hungry.
Xiao Er put down the breakfast and couldn't help but say, "Miss Lu, you are really blessed, don't you know that this big meat bun and egg custard are our famous two dishes." β
"There are more people who buy these two things every morning, and this boy went to line up in the middle of the night, and when he came back that time, his clothes were soaked."
Hearing Xiao Er say this, Lu Xiyi realized that Ah Leng had changed his clothes, but his hair was still wet.
As soon as she thought that Ah Leng's wound was not completely healed, she hurriedly found a piece of clean satin to wipe his hair.
While wiping it back, he complained: "You are so smart, why did you become so wooden as soon as you came to me, how is it good to be infected with the wind and cold." β
Ah Leng just smiled stupidly and didn't speak.
So the little two on the side replied for him: "What else can I do, because I like girls!" β
"The little one has been working here for more than ten years, and it's the first time I've seen an infatuated man like Childe, the girl is really happy."
Lu Xiyi's face turned red when he was said, but he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and silently wiped Ah Leng's hair.
Ah Leng waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Er to step back.
The already small wing room is now only Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng, and the ambiguous atmosphere is beginning to heat up in the room.
"Nozomi?"
"Hmm!"
Lu Xiyi blinked his deer-like pure eyes and looked at Ah Leng blankly.
Ah Leng didn't know, in fact, whenever he called Lu Xiyi like this, her heart would suddenly chuckle.
The feeling was like a new weeping willow stirring the lake, rippling layer after layer, and it also made her heart ripple.
"Would you like to ......"
Seeing that he was about to say it, Ah Liang suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned a corner and said, "Let's go, you won't be able to reach Liuzhou City before it gets dark." β
"I would ......"
Hearing this, Lu Xiyi's eyes suddenly darkened, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Let's go......"
Disappointmentd, she walked out the door.
Ah Leng looked at her thin back and muttered, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Now is not the time, when I am famous all over the world, I will promise you a lifetime. β
On the way to Liuzhou City, Lu Xiyi sat in the carriage sometimes sighing and sometimes closing his eyes, but he didn't look at Ah Leng beside him, no matter how he called her and teased her.
Liuzhou City, which has been surrounded by mountains for three years, has a humid and rainy climate, and is a suitable place for winemaking and planting.
As soon as Lu Xiyi got out of the carriage, he was surprised by the endless green fields and mountains in front of him.
It's just that when the two arrived, it was already night, so they had to find an inn to rest.
In the evening, the two were eating in the front hall of the inn and heard several people at the next table talking about something.
Because it was Liuzhou dialect and the noisy voice, they didn't hear it clearly, but just the last sentence made Lu Xiyi suddenly surprised.
Roughly speaking, the winery outside Zhou Yuan has been sold.
When Lu Xiyi heard this, he suddenly stood up without saying a word.
Walked quickly to the dining table of those people and asked, "Big brothers, is it true that you just said that the winery outside Zhou Yuanwai has been escorted out?" β
When the men who ate and drank saw Lu Xiyi, they were like hungry wolves seeing meat.
The greasy man picked it up and was: "Tsk! The little lady is so good-looking, why did she come here alone? It's better to accompany me, let's be happy together......"
The person who listened to the foul language was disgusted, and Ah Leng stood behind Lu Xiyi, and just one look made the men shut up.
The man closed his mouth and put down his glass, and sat down in his seat.
"Okay, even if I'm scared, you can't do it? What do you want to ask? β
"Has the winery outside Zhou Yuanwai really been mortgaged?"
Lu Xiyi asked again.
The man took a big bite on a piece of meat on the pig's thigh, and replied impatiently: "Of course it's true, this is what everyone in Liuzhou City knows, what am I lying to you about." β
"Hmmm! Say it well! β
Ah Leng said indifferently.
As soon as the man saw Ah Leng's appearance, he immediately lost his confidence and said: "Uncle, what I said is true, I don't have the courage to do it, I still want to live for two more years!" β
The guests who were eating on the side also nodded, and it seemed that this matter was already ironclad.
"He didn't talk nonsense, I also heard about it, I heard that the person who bought the restaurant is still a foreigner!"
"I've heard that this man goes around the North Mountain every morning, saying that it's good for the body, if there's anything you can try there, maybe you can see him!"
There seems to be no better way to do this in the current situation.
The two of them inquired with the old man about the location of the North Mountain, and arrived at the North Mountain early the next morning.
The mountains and forests that have rained, the dust has been washed away, and the air is full of the fragrance of earth, and there is a sweet and sour fragrance when you smell it carefully.
However, the more you smell this fragrance, the more familiar it becomes, Lu Xiyi thought for a while and sighed: "Qingmei! Definitely a green plum! β
As she spoke, she followed the fragrance, and a green plum tree appeared in front of her.
"Hey- open a living fairy in the mountain, and the fairy will ......"
This is a ballad, Lu Xiyi heard it at once, and thought that when she heard this for the first time, Xuanjia sang it to her.
In a blink of an eye, she felt that she hadn't seen Xuanjia for a long time, and now the song is still the same, but she doesn't know how Xuanjia is doing now.
Slowly, the singing got closer and closer. There was a sudden movement in the grass, and before Lu Xiyi could see what was going on, Xuanjia suddenly came out of the grass.
"Xuanjia?"
Lu Xiyi rubbed her eyes, she felt like a dream, why did this person come out suddenly.
"yes, that's me!"
"How? Isn't it a big surprise? β
Xuanjia suddenly sighed as he spoke.
"We just met, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something bad? β
Lu Xiyi asked.
Xuanjia explained that he had found a new errand in the past two days, but this master was a little abrasive, so he had to let him turn around the mountain early in the morning, saying that he had a dream two days ago and dreamed that there was a treasure in the mountain.
"What are you kidding, are there any such people?"
"Isn't it? Is it so strange for this rich man to think? But look at the last account...... I don't have much money on me, so I'll pick all these plums for you, okay? β
Lu Xiyi was not a calculating person, so he agreed when he heard him say this.
"Yes, just as you say! But can you let him stay with you for a few days and never leave? β
"Uh...... OK. β
As soon as he thought that he was going to settle the accounts, Xuanjia had nothing to say.
After thinking about it, he climbed to the plum tree and plucked it in a few simple strokes.
And it just so happened that he was carrying a bamboo basket behind him, so he simply filled a full bamboo basket.
Finally, carrying a slow bamboo basket of plums, he sweated profusely and said, "Okay, these are all yours." β
"You can't do it alone, let's find you a carriage with a letter in a while to send you back, otherwise it's too uneasy."
So two men carried a basket of plums, and a woman's special scenery appeared in front of everyone.
It took a while to find a suitable carriage.
Ah Leng settled everything and handed a piece of silver to the coachman: "Please, I must send this girl back safely." β
On the way, Ah Leng watched the carriage drift away until it disappeared from sight.
In the evening, Lu Xiyi finally returned to the winery.
At the moment, things on the sixth floor must be put on hold, and I have to go back here as a last resort.
