At dusk, the dry south wind is replaced by the cool north wind, the streets are lit up, the shops on the street are lit up with red lanterns early, and some of the places that do business at night are even more noisy and lively.

Song Batian unconsciously wandered on the street, and the city had no name, just because the king of Beihu built the palace here, and gradually more and more people came, and it seemed to have become the second largest city in Beihu.

After passing a stall selling wontons, Song Batian touched the purse on his waist, there were a few silver tickets lying in it, and Qian Xishun would give her one hundred taels for living expenses every month, but she never spent a single one.

"Girl, will you have a bowl of ravioli?" The wonton maker is an eldest lady who leads her little grandson, who is less than ten years old, to set up a stall here to make a fool of himself.

"Hmm!"

Song Batian sat down, and the little grandson who was squatting in the corner of the wall and playing with the stone saw the other slingshot on Song Batian's waist at a glance, and the kid stared at it enviously.

Song Batian glanced at him, hid the slingshot in her clothes, and waited for the old lady to bring the wontons, her face had a little expression.

"Girl, you're not from Beihu, are you?" Everyone went to the grassland to see the excitement, so the old lady didn't have much business, so she sat on the side and sewed her little grandson's torn clothes, and it was too dark for her to borrow the lanterns in the shops on the side, and she could only sew stitches one by one.

"I'm not from Beihu." Song Batian replied in a sullen voice.

"Are you from the Great Zhou?"

Song Batian was noncommittal, lowered his head and continued to eat wontons, the old lady didn't care, and said to herself, "Da Zhou is good, I heard that the people of Da Zhou are very rich, and there is gold everywhere." ”

Hehe, Song Batian sneered, which one spread this rumor? If there is gold everywhere, does she still need to occupy the mountains as kings?

"Old lady, there are rich and poor people everywhere, as long as they are willing to endure hardship, they will not starve to death."

"That's right, no matter what time you go, you have to eat with your own hands, so that you can live with peace of mind."

After Song Batian finished eating, he rummaged through his purse and took out a silver ticket with a denomination of ten taels from it.

"Oh, that's too much, a bowl of wontons only costs five cents." The old lady looked at her in a panic, and her hands and feet trembled when she saw such a large denomination of silver tickets for the first time.

"You take it first, I will come here often to eat wontons in the future, you keep the account."

"This ...... Is this okay? ”

"Absolutely!" Song Batian got up, glanced at the kid in a daze, and walked towards the grassland to the west.

The grasslands, which used to be full of wolves, are now occupied by huge firewood piles, and in recent days people from other parts of Beihu have flocked to the city, and the grasslands are covered with tents.

Song Batian looked at the bustling crowd in front of her, and after being stunned for a while, she walked along an overgrown path to a less crowded place.

She doesn't belong to this lively world, and since her grandfather is gone, she has gradually returned to living alone. In the past, there were iron bulls and small bolts to accompany her in Wang Bashan, and before she left Suzhou, she had arranged for the two to return to the north, and now she is left alone, living alone.

Qian Xishun persuaded her to go back to Da Zhou, Song Qingyun wrote more than once, asking Song Batian to go back, but she didn't want to go back, she came to Beihu with her grandfather, just to see Song Yu, she wanted to ask Song Yu in person if he liked her, if he had someone he liked, she would also send blessings to them.

Thinking of this, Song Batian's heart throbbed for no reason, can she really give Song Yu over to others generously?

Although it is already very remote, there are so many people on the grassland that there are still sporadic people passing by here.

They found a girl standing in the grass, it was too dark to see her face, but who would stand in a daze in the grass one person high?

Not to mention how many mosquitoes there are inside, if there are hungry wolves lurking around, then the girl has no chance of escaping at all.

"Hey, girl, what's wrong with you?" A man with a beard shouted to her on the side of the road.

Song Batian shook her head, she glanced at the big man, bowed slightly, and continued to walk forward through the grass.

"What a weirdo." The woman beside the strong man whispered.

"It doesn't look like she's from Beihu, she probably doesn't know how dangerous it is to be alone on the grassland, third brother, let's remind her, right?" The woman said to the strong man.

"I don't think I need it." The strong man pointed to Song Batian who walked out of the grass not far away, the night was too thick, and soon they couldn't see Song Batian's trace.

"Isn't she here for the campfire?" The woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the man next to her and asked strangely.

"Maybe there's something else, Ninth Sister, let's leave her alone, tonight you are going to perform for the King and His Royal Highness the Seventh, remember not to be nervous."

"Third brother, you can put a hundred hearts, my horseback dancing has long been practiced."

The brother and sister laughed and walked towards the venue, the guards who were in charge of checking the passage tokens at the edge of the courtyard, saw the two take out a blue sign, and hurriedly opened the fence to let the two in.

The courtyard was independently carved out for officials and their families with status and status to observe the ceremony, and the middle position was the throne of King Beihu, and on his right hand was the seat of the Seven Highnesses.

"Ninth sister, do you see the empty position over there?" The strong man asked, pointing to the third table under the king's throne.

"Third brother, I saw it, isn't it reserved for adults?"

"No, it's not, I guess it's for Miss Luoyin."

The ninth sister paused for a moment, lowered her head and said, "I know the third brother, I will go all out to perform a good horse riding dance, so that the king will not look down on us." ”

"Ninth sister, you don't have a psychological burden, we are just a small tribe, and we have been obedient to the king early, although Miss Luoyin is the daughter of the leader of the Gawa tribe, but she entered the palace when she was very young, and she has no feelings for Gawa, and the king will not snub us because we have conflicts with the Gawa tribe."

"I hope so." The ninth sister said with a heavy heart.

On the other side, Song Batian walked out aimlessly far away, and he could barely see the huge firewood pile in the middle of the grassland.

This is already the depths of the vast savannah, and if you look closely, you can faintly see the green light flickering in the distance.

It was a wild wolf hiding in the grass waiting for an opportunity to catch its prey, and when Song Batian noticed that a wolf was slowly approaching her, she quickly took out her slingshot, and at the last moment, hit the stone on the cartilage between the eyes of the wild wolf.

The wolf's wail caused discomfort among the other companions, and Song Batian's second stone hit the eye of the wolf who pounced, she didn't dare to fight, and turned around and ran in the direction of the campfire.

The wolf has a strong sense of revenge, although the grassland is full of people, but the enraged wolves don't care that they will become the prey of others, and they are in hot pursuit of Song Batian.

How is it possible for a human to outrun a four-legged animal on two legs?

There was no moon tonight, and when Song Batian found that he couldn't find the huge firewood, he immediately panicked.
