Chapter 39: The Shop in the Depths of the Alley
Mu Xi looked at Li Yuan with a serious face, and the question in his mouth had not yet been asked, Li Yuan said: "So you just wanted to test what I mean, right?" ”
Li Yuan's question made Mu Xi a little unsure how to answer, Li Yuan knew that it was not a good thing for Mu Xi to come out with him, and he also knew that Mu Xi had already determined that they were not in Lancheng now when he saw Mu Feng's lanterns by the moat.
But Li Yuan still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Mu Xi might really be able to believe in himself for his own reasons.
But it's clear that Muxi doesn't seem to have much trust in anyone else except herself.
"At the door of the restaurant just now, I really wanted to take you to some places, and I really wanted you to walk with me."
Surprisingly, Mu Xi did not have too much temptation for Li Yuan.
"But now, you shouldn't be in the mood to go out for a walk with me."
And the scene around me is already a little familiar, and there may be people who recognize me at any time, are you sure, do you want to just let me continue to walk towards the center of the capital?
If I am recognized, how sure are you that you will be able to carry me out with my whole body?
Mu Xi looked at Li Yuan and said a lot of words with a calm expression, which also explained his intention to turn back now.
Li Yuan's reaction just now has clearly shown that Li Yuan did not mean to betray Mu Xi, if Mu Xi then thinks that Li Yuan is taking himself out and then preparing to go back alone.
In any case, Mu Xi's behavior is very stupid.
"If I say I can get out of the way with you, do you want to follow me and see where you haven't been?"
Li Yuan was still smiling, and under the lights in all directions, Mu Xi smiled and said, "If you can, let's go, just take an adventure in a place I've never been to before." ”
Li Yuan walked with Mu Xi as if nothing had happened.
The solemn atmosphere of the question just now seemed to be broken up all of a sudden, and they were lying around.
Mu Xi smelled a sweet fragrance in the air, and with the fragrance, the two entered a small alley that neither of them had ever been.
Mu Xi raised his hand and bumped Li Yuan's arm and asked, "Have you ever been to this place?" ”
Li Yuan shook his head, such a place is not in the center of the capital, nor is it in a place where people can easily see in the capital.
Instead, it is a small alley on the edge of the capital.
The roads in the capital are intricate, and in addition to the wide roads that can be passed by horse-drawn carriages, there are also small alleys that can only be passed by a few people.
Some people will also open a side door in the alley to facilitate the entry and exit of guests or errands.
Mu Xi and the others are now in a small alley, and now at night, there is not even a little light in the alley.
Only a flickering lamp lit at the other end of the alley, as if to provide some light source for the people who walked through the alley.
Such a scene similar to that in a ghost movie gave Mu Xi goosebumps.
But the gentle sweet fragrance that came from that place perfectly soothed the uneasiness and fear in Mu Xi's heart.
Mu Xi raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan beside him, and Li Yuan's expression was also very serious.
"Li Yuan, do you believe in the existence of gods, that is, you also believe in the existence of ghosts?"
Mu Xi was a little nervous now, the alley was unexpectedly a little long, and he could only use speech to relieve the uneasiness in his heart.
Li Yuan lowered his head and glanced at Mu Xi, who was used to Mu Xi with an aura of two meters eight before, but now he suddenly found that Mu Xi was actually a little girl who was not too tall.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Although the theory of ghosts and gods is indeed ridiculous sometimes, no matter what, there are too many things that cannot be explained. ”
"Moreover, what I believe in is not ghosts and gods, but in the belief that the Heavenly Dao has reincarnation, retribution, and cause and effect."
Seeing Mu Xi's expression looking at the road in front of him seriously, but his hand was tightly grasping his clothes, Li Yuan felt that Mu Xi's behavior was a little funny for a while.
But Li Yuan still said this seriously, hoping to distract Mu Xi a little bit to make her less nervous.
"A person who believes in retribution will restrain his behavior, and a person who believes in ghosts and gods will do less things that hurt nature and reason.
If it is a good cause, the result is naturally a good fruit.
So even though my life has not been smooth sailing for so many years, and it can even be said that it has been stumbling, I still live seriously and persistently. ”
As he spoke, Li Yuan grabbed some of Mu Xi's hands, Mu Xi's palms were already a little sweaty, Li Yuan took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped Mu Xi's palms.
Mu Xi, this girl, is really strangely tight, how to say that she is nervous now, but if you only look at her face, it is impossible to think that this is a nervous person.
Mu Xi's hands were only a little tight at most, and some sweat was wiped clean by the handkerchief that Li Yuan was holding.
"Meow~"
A cat meow frightened the hairs on Mu Xi's body to stand up, and when he entered the alley, the sound of the bustling crowd around him was already a little far away.
Now suddenly, in the utter silence, a long cat meow dragged on.
Mu Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and Li Yuan tried to distinguish it, and it happened to be the sound coming from the warm yellow light.
It was as if to tell the owner of the light that a new guest had arrived.
Mu Xi had already seen the light, and he was not so nervous anymore, but his breathing suddenly stopped because of a cat meow.
"What does the little boy want to eat? Bean curd or sugar gourd? Or will I give you a bowl of ravioli? ”
The old man who was sitting in front of the stall to feed the cats raised his head and asked in a somewhat slow voice.
Li Yuan patted Mu Xi on the back, hugged Mu Xi gently, and said to the old man, "A bowl of bean curd and a bowl of wontons." ”
Mu Xi reacted, but after the cat meowed, the whole person turned red.
There has never been such a humiliating time, and there has never been such a humiliation in fighting a python in the primeval jungle of the Amazon.
It's been so long that I've been comfortable for so long that I've comfortably forgotten what kind of person I should be.
Li Yuan didn't know what sachet he was carrying, there was a cold smell of fresh grass.
After a while, Mu Xi's whole person calmed down, and gently pushed Li Yuan, Li Yuan let go of his hand, and Mu Xi glanced at the stall.
The stall is located at the mouth of the alley on the other side of the street, which is easy to be found by people on the other side, but it also happens to give people who walk at night a strong sense of security.
