Chapter 25: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High Murderous Night!
It is like the folk customs are open, the men walking on the road are often shirtless, the elderly like to wear beards, and the customs everywhere are different from those of the Wei State. They came by chance, and Sweetwater City will hold a "water festival" in two days. This is a very important festival in the local area, and residents and merchants from all over the country have to rush to it.
The Feng family immediately felt the inconvenience caused by the festival:
Hostels of all sizes are full.
Xu doesn't like to act in a high-profile manner, and he doesn't want to show his wealth when he goes out, so he wants to find a mid-range and clean inn to live in, but there are no rooms in a few houses. Finally, I went to the center of the city and found a manna inn with a very atmospheric face before I heard that there was a house.
According to the hostess's request, the steward of the Feng family hurriedly asked for two upper rooms, and was about to pay the deposit, when someone on the side forcibly squeezed over and pushed him into the corner, while saying: "We want five upper rooms, hurry up!"
The shopkeeper was cautious: "This has just been booked two rooms, there are only two rooms left in the upper room, and the middle bunk is still ......."
The man pouted to the side: "You can't get five upper rooms, so don't do your errand." Glancing at the Feng family's steward, he sneered, "Hasn't he paid the deposit yet, it can't be calculated." ”
The steward said angrily, "Why don't you come first and then arrive......?"
The shopkeeper saw a few wealthy people standing on the side, and one of them was He Dashao, who was full of displeasure, so he had to smile bitterly at the Feng family steward: "We are also a small business, so we have to wronged you." We just haven't paid the deposit yet, so please don't embarrass us. ”
Where is the Feng family steward willing to let in, it just so happened that Xu Shi walked in holding Feng Miaojun's hand, and Meimu roughly understood the beginning and end with a sweep of the scene, so he said loudly: "Let's let go, let's go." "When you go out, pay attention to a kind atmosphere. She has been in business independently for two years and has a thorough understanding of this truth.
She wears a hat and curtains, but her figure is beautiful, and she holds a little girl who looks like a pink carving in her hand, and it is obvious that one big and one small are all beauties. Although she encountered difficulties in her family and country, Feng Miaojun has always been pampered, with a small face and a little baby fat, as tender as freshly baked white bread, soft and soft, which makes people want to pinch two handfuls. Look at a pair of black jade eyes, clear and translucent without any impurities, this to the temple station, just like the lucky virgin standing next to the God of Wealth.
It will only grow in a few years, and it will be a great beauty.
The small one is so good, and the big one is naturally not bad.
A man with a long figure walked out, bent down slightly, and smiled at Feng Miaojun: "How about giving you a room? ”
He was good-looking, well-dressed, gentle-bearing, and especially bright-eyed, and seemed to be the most outstanding of the group of four or five.
Feng Miaojun snorted: "No need for you." He took Xu's hand and shook it, "Mother, there are all kinds of nasty ghosts in this place, I don't want to live here!"
The little princess was disgusted, and Xu naturally walked out: "Well, don't live it." ”
The few people behind him didn't take this little episode seriously, and continued to talk and laugh Yan Yan. She heard He Dashao say to the young man who wanted to let the room for them: "Women are used to being small, don't pay attention." Brother Ziyao, I'll take you to a good place in the evening, and the sisters over there will be much more enthusiastic. ”
Feng Miaojun frowned, and heard the "Brother Ziyao" laugh and say, "Don't worry, let's take a look at the 'Fruit King' you brought, it is said that he has long been the favorite to win the championship in this year's Water Festival." ”
The last thing Feng Miaojun heard was He Shao triumphantly praising him: "Have vision." The Zuoqiu family doesn't have any rare treasures, but the younger brother dares to guarantee that this fruit is taller and bigger than a person, and Brother Ziyao must have never seen it!"
Turning into the trail from the main road, the Feng family's convoy almost traveled all over Sweetwater City before finding an inn in the corner of the west of the city and settling down, the location here is remote, and the conditions are naturally far inferior to the central main street, but the price charged is not much cheaper. The back of the guest room is next to the stable, the smell is not good, and the face of the store is still stinky: I can't live in love, some people want to live, and there is really no place when it's late.
Xu still wanted his adopted daughter to live more comfortably, so he opened a guest room for Feng Miaojun alone. After the personnel were settled, they took the steward and went outside to watch the excitement. Pombai also lived here, but the injuries on his arms were far from complete, so he had to rest in the inn and control the secret guard to protect the little princess.
To say that Sweetwater City is a little hotter, dirtier, and messier in Feng Miaojun's opinion, it is really a good place. The local water and soil are excellent, and all kinds of fruits are produced, and it is a famous hometown of melons and fruits within a radius of thousands of miles. The group bought a few slices of sliced cold melon (watermelon) on the side of the street, and when they took a bite, it turned out to be a mouthful of sweet diabetes rhythm.
Some people have joked for a long time, but anyone with the word "melon" will be at least twice as sweet as other places when it is grown in sweet water.
Of course, sweet potatoes don't count, they are known locally as red and white potatoes.
The highlight of the annual "Water Festival" is the "Melon King Competition" and "Fruit King Competition", each township selects the largest and sweetest person to participate, once it wins the championship is the best publicity for the local specialties, so it is vigorously held every year.
After all, it was a tiring journey, and Xu's mother and daughter didn't go back to the inn for too long. Feng Miaojun bathed and chatted with her adoptive mother until her hair was half dry.
¥¥¥¥¥
The clouds in the sky were thick and often obscured the moonlight. The wind rose again in Sweetwater City, and the trees in the village were blown to a rattle, making Feng Miaojun toss and turn, and he couldn't sleep very well.
I don't know how long it took, the window lattice outside "rattled", the sound was so subtle that it was almost inaudible in the wind, but somehow, it woke her up.
Feng Miaojun rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly saw that the wooden chair next to the bed was occupied by a huge, black shadow!
In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes were staring at her.
A thief has entered the house! Her narrowed eyes widened, and she screamed without thinking, and her body shrank backwards, about to jump from the end of the bed.
The shadow leaned forward and reached out to cover her mouth, straining her screams back first. His palms were broad, and his fingertips were snapped inward, choking the great artery in her neck. Just tap here and she'll get dizzy.
With just this formula, she can't scream or earn.
The black shadow stretched out his other hand in front of his lips and gently "shhhh ”
The voice was not unfamiliar, and at this moment the dark clouds in the sky had just moved away, and the moonlight sprinkled down, shining a mouthful of beard that she was already familiar with.
Mo Ti Zhun!
Is this guy ghosted, she has walked more than 100 miles and can still bump into him! It is said that the moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, what does this great god want to do when he sneaks into her boudoir?
