Chapter 1 Sugar Gourd (1)

It was as if after a long night's sleep, the strong sunlight pierced through the heavy eyelids and stinged the eyes, and the scorching heat choked the throat and almost suffocated.

Nanle rubbed his aching head and opened his eyes, brushing away the strands of hair that were sweating on his face, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

It was in a ruined temple, the air was damp and dry, the ground outside was wet, and there were potholes and mud everywhere, and it looked like it had just rained. Judging by the blue sky, the bright light after the rain and the hot and dry air, it should be the height of summer.

Nanle got up blankly, dragging a little mud-covered plain skirt on the ground, her hair scattered, and it was amazingly long to her waist.

It is not flowers or trees, nor birds or animals, but people.

Nanle washed her face with the help of the water in the stream not far away, and she was still the same with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her tender lips were dripping. Although it is not beautiful, it can sink into the water.

According to this unusual piece of clothing, Nan Le guessed that she was probably the maidservant of a wealthy family, as for why she appeared in this dilapidated temple, she didn't care about it, she only thought about where to settle her dazed self.

Nanle has always been a person who has a plan and does his best to achieve his goal as quickly as possible, but now he suddenly doesn't know which direction to fall next in this vast land, and his heart can't help but be empty.

She suddenly remembered that she had come here with a mission, and reached out to touch her neck, but it was the clear jade mirror that Jiang Qishu said, and it was the disappointment that a blue light converged in the air, forming a circle, and hung on Nanle's chest.

Nan Le raised his hand and stroked it, there was no expression on his face, and he was already full of fighting spirit to take over the task.

Since this task is very important in terms of historical change, it is arduous, and there is a long way to go...... Like this, for Nan Le, it has always been her unwilling to be ordinary, an opportunity to show her skills, and she is ready to move with her unruly nature in her bones.

Nanle opened it with anticipation, thinking that she was finally going to live vigorously.

The blue light emitted by the jade mirror is reflected in the air to form an illusory screen, on which her first task is clearly written: eat a string of sugar gourds.

……?

Nanle walks in the bustling streets and alleys of Jiangzhou, Yiguo, everywhere the cars are like flowing water and horses are like dragons, the hawkers' shouts come and go, endlessly, and the shops are lined up with all kinds of paving, plus the more you want to find something, the more you can't find what the law of life, it is not easy to buy a sugar gourd.

Nanle is not in a hurry, leisurely shopping to see the excitement, looking left and right, because she did not consider the habit of buying or not buying, only thinking about how much to buy, every time she remembered that she was a poor ghost here, she moved her steps to find the sugar gourd, thinking that she used to spend money lavishly, and wanted nothing, but now she is penniless and poor.

"Selling sugar gourds—"

Hearing such a shout, Nanle ignored the vendor who was exaggerating how his rouge gouache was magical, and shook his hand and followed the sound.

As soon as he came out of a wave of people, the sound of selling sugar gourds had disappeared for a long time and had not sounded again, Nanle had no direction, and he didn't know where people were, so he had to wander around intuitively.

At the corner of the noisy street, the black-clothed guard Guichen said to the man with clear eyes on the side: "Your Highness, you have already found out, that person is the receiving point of the news." ”

Yi Ci waved his hand lightly, and Guichen nodded knowingly.

The vendor selling sugar gourds screamed in horror, and Guichen, who had a knife on his neck, immediately scolded: "Shut up! ”

Yi Ci leaned his back against the wall, one leg bent behind the other, looking calm, listening to the hawker tremble and answer his question.

According to him, every day there would be strange faces who would buy sugar gourds to send him news, and the code was that he would buy the sugar gourds that were missing one from the other shelves, and then the vendor would give him a piece of silver, and the man would give him the news.

Yi Ci finally understood why he was so easy to be caught, this phenomenon of sellers paying buyers would make anyone suspicious.

Yi Ci Chong returned to the dust and said with a smile: "Why are the people of the few people getting more and more brainless." ”

When the hawker heard the word "Liaoshengmen", his hairs stood up: "What...... What, Childe, you just said that there is no life? ”

Liaoshengmen, ranked first in the rivers and lakes, a terrifying killer organization, as long as they give enough money, there are almost no tasks they dare not accept.

This peddler probably didn't know that he was hired by someone from the Rare Sect to deliver information.

Yi Ci only said: "Let him go." Seeing that Guichen was a little hesitant, he continued, "I think he is just an ordinary person who doesn't know anything, even if he is killed, there will be thousands of innocent people who will die for money." ”

Guichen listened, so he had to put away his sword, and the peddler didn't take two steps away, but he heard the voice behind him rise again: "Wait! He knew that the gentler voice was that of the master.

Yi Ci smiled: "Put your ...... The sugar gourd stayed, and also, during this time, you should travel cautiously, "After all, the Lack of Life Gate has always been rewarded, unless they forget, he will not survive." After that, he turned to Guichen and said, "Give him some silver and escort him back." ”

Guichen nodded and took him away.

Yi Ci easily lifted the shelf full of sugar gourds, and walked towards the street with a warm smile on his face as always.

Nan Le suddenly turned her head, the tall sugar gourd shelf broke into sight, her eyes lit up, and she deftly walked through the crowd and came to Yi Ci.

Nan Le was puzzled that the vendor selling sugar gourds was actually wearing a plain white robe, and his eyes fell on his face from bottom to top, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The reason is not that he has the appearance of an immortal with a jade tree in the wind, Nan Le has never been a nymphomaniac, otherwise he would not be reluctant to marry the one surnamed Yi.

And the person in front of her happened to be the one who had only one side at the restaurant table a few days ago.

Nanle looked at the shelf full of sugar, and immediately had the urge to vomit in her stomach, she had never liked to eat sweets, and now she didn't know where to start.

Yi Ci thought thoughtfully, smiled secretly, and turned the sugar gourd shelf around for half a circle.

Nanle looked at his empathetic smiling face in bewilderment.

At a glance, she saw the string of sugar gourds that was turned in front of her with one missing, and told herself that of course it could be counted as a bunch, so she picked it off without hesitation.

Yi Ci smiled, she was really a person from a few families.

Then the next step in the transaction is naturally to pay, and Nanle also held the sugar gourd in his hand before remembering that he was penniless.

But she can't go home empty-handed, now there are three choices, one is to be a thief who raises the sugar gourd without a trace, the second is to be a robber to choke his neck and snatch the sugar gourd, and the third is to be a beggar to make him give the sugar gourd to himself.

According to Nanle's style, he should be a robber, his neck is white and slender, and he is weak at first glance. But considering that this sixteen or seventeen-year-old body may not be able to pinch his neck, Nanle didn't want to be a petty thief, so he had to be a beggar, anyway, he was mute, anyway, she was his acquiescence.

She thought of her lines and was about to speak, but she was choked by the white flowers that suddenly appeared.

Yi Ci put the silver in her hand and kept smiling.

Nan Le frowned, staring blankly at the silver two in her hand, didn't she make him think she was a beggar before she started acting?

Yi Ci saw that she didn't move for a long time, so he took out the second ingot of silver and put it in her hand and continued to smile.

Nanle frowned deeply, she didn't look like a beggar in her dress, or did he see through the idea that he was going to choke his neck, so he directly sent all the money up?

Seeing that she was still indifferent, Yi Ci took out the third ingot of silver and put it in her hand, and said in her heart, could it be that the person who sold sugar gourds had deceived him? How many ingots of silver? There was still a smile on his face.

Nan Le's eyebrows are twisted together, this person is stupid?

Yi Ci's smile faded away, and finally took out the big golden head and put it on her hand, gritted his teeth and reminded: "Be a man, remember not to be too greedy." ”

Nan Le's eyes widened for the gold ingot, and then he was surprised by the clear voice that he could speak, and then his face changed because of the meaning of what he said.

Obviously, he kept sending money to her for some reason, why did he scold her for being greedy?

A few mixed shouts into his ears, Nan Le thought about his poor life, looked at the silver in his hand and squinted, so he didn't do two endlessly, counted to three, threw the sugar gourd, grabbed the silver with both hands and ran away, and disappeared into the crowd.

I didn't expect to end up being a thief.

Yi Ci was stunned, thinking that she had discovered her identity and was going to ventilate the news, so she immediately lost the sugar gourd shelf and followed closely behind, shuttling with her on the long street with a sea of people, rampage all the way.

Nanle glanced back from time to time, ran a few streets, and saw that the people behind him did not follow again, so he slowed down slightly.

Suddenly, several masked men in green clothes who came out from all directions rushed straight at her, and the person who took the lead shouted: "Kill her!" ”

Did he find a good helper so quickly?

The people on the street scattered in fear, and some people shouted in panic: "Run! It's the one who walks on the door! ”

Hidden stepping on the door, it turned out to be a killer organization that did no evil, and then I don't know why, in recent years, I have not taken over a task that hurts the heavens and reason, but it is to accumulate virtue and do good, and do more and more things for people to solve their urgent needs, which was already praised by everyone, but today it is going to slaughter a defenseless little girl, and it can't help but remind people of the hidden door in the past that is on par with the few life doors, and the people who change their evil and return to righteousness have always been afraid.

Nanle was surrounded by people with knives in their hands, and one person came forward to cut at her, Nanle subconsciously kicked out his legs, and the person flew out a meter away as if he had been seriously injured, and Nanle realized that he was a practitioner.

Seeing this, Yi Ci, who caught up at this time, was even more sure that she was a person from a few families.

The rest of the people came up together, Nan Le was in a hurry, knowing that he couldn't parry, he wanted to find a chance to escape, and slashed down at her with a knife on the head, Nan Le was at a loss for a while, thinking that she was going to see Jiang Qishu, the white-robed man who flew over appeared in time and beat all the masked people in three or two.

Nanle was dumbfounded, fortunately he didn't pinch his beautiful neck just now.

Yi Ci looked at the man in green clothes lying on the ground, and was a little angry: "How dare you!" Finally he stopped talking.

Hearing the sound, Gui Chen's eyes caught Nanle.

Yi Ci looked at the green-clothed man who fled in the wilderness and said, "They are the ones who set foot in the door. ”

Guichen's expression tightened, of course he could see that this was the person who stepped on the door, and what Yi Ci told him was "they are actually the people who stepped on the door".

"Childe, why don't you deal with them now? l”

"No, they did it on orders, let's talk about this matter another day, take this woman back to Xiaozhulou first, be careful, don't let her kill herself." The people of the few lives are going to die if they fail the mission.

Nanle: ......?
