The Canary and the Seagull (1)
My name is Zhou Li, Zhou, Zhou Quan. Li, Jasmine's Li, to tell you the truth, it's a very earthy name, after all, my father is just a businessman who can't read a few words.
Longgang is the name of the city where I am located, why no one knows why it is now, but this is a famous diplomatic port in the Eastern Continent, and thousands or even tens of thousands of merchants stay here every day, and my father is also one of them.
I, Miss Shen, am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but only the magic that is common in that continent, my father and grandfather are not allowed to touch it, they said, "Women, it is enough to know how to run a house, know a few words, know two books, can play the piano, can dance, know how to please her husband, know how to share the worries of your in-laws, learning magic is what a man should do." ”
So I never studied magic, and I didn't even know what my talent was.
It was a rainy May, and I sat on the dresser and took care of my hair as usual, and today my father did not allow me to go out of his room, because an important guest from the Western Continent was coming, because he did not allow me to learn from those people, for fear that I would "learn badly".
I rummaged through the female red that I had stabbed half of yesterday, and searched all the places, but there was none, and I suddenly remembered that it might have fallen in my mother's room, but my mother's room was far away from my room, and I didn't dare to go out rashly, but there was always a voice in my heart reminding me, "Go out, go and get it, it's not a big deal, anyway, my father and mother are in the lobby with the guests, no—will—be—be discovered—appear." "I pushed the door open like a ghost, and it was the first time I had disobeyed my father.
I walked slowly towards my mother's room, bowing my head, for fear of being discovered, but there was an inexplicable pleasure in my heart, which was a pleasure called "freedom".
Suddenly, I don't know who slapped me on the shoulder, and I was so frightened by the sudden movement that I let out a soft exclamation. Slowly turning his head to look at this "rude man", the guy who doesn't know how to be polite doesn't know how to greet people first?
That's the first time I've seen someone like that. It's not long hair, short hair like a child, it's not black hair, beautiful white hair is like a peach blossom in the backyard of a temple.
"You, who are you?" I was surprised.
"Nest, I'm four Reed." The youth said.
"Oh, you're Xiao Mishen, uh, Reed, right." I replied, it's a pity for such a good-looking person, "Why is it a big tongue like that guy at home" My name is Zhou, not Pear Blossom, is there anything wrong with you? ”
"That, nest, nest." The young man's face turned unnaturally red and red, and then whispered in my ear, "Where's that bathroom?" ”
"Ahh I exclaimed, how can this man be so rude, how can he speak in a girl's ear?
"Smack!" My hand was one step faster than my brain, and I made the first move, and the young man's face instantly became a red mark.
"Sorry, sorry I did something wrong? I'm from the Western Continent, and I don't know the number of etiquette you have here, sorry, sorry. The young man panicked.
This person, obviously not his entire responsibility, keeps asking me for forgiveness, which is quite humble.
"Well, I don't know you're from the Western Continent, what's the matter with you?" I asked with a hint of apology.
"Where's that bathroom? Boss Zhou pointed to a place and told me, but I couldn't find it. The young man said with a red face.
"Bathroom? What is that? I said.
"It's the place for Xiao Xie?" The youth said.
"Miss?" I'm a little angry, this looks polite, but I didn't expect it to be a well-dressed beast, and I want to find a young lady, hum!
"That, if you want to find Miss, please go out and find it, we don't have it here." I said a little angrily.
"Huh? I'm not looking for a young lady, I'm looking for a small solution, that is, that is. The young man explained, and then slowly approached my ear again, "It's pee." ”
"Ahh Although I know that other people's etiquette is different from my own, I still can't adapt to it, but this time I finally know what the other party means, do you want to find a thatched house? Alas, the language of the Western Continent is really different from ours.
"There, that's it, do you see? From there, go all the way on. I pointed into the distance.
"I don't know about that, can you please take me there?" The young man said, "I'm sorry for you, Boss Zhou and my father are discussing things, and it will take more than an hour to leave, I really can't help but come out, but this place is too big, I can't find a thatched house."
"Oh? You say, my father, oh no, Boss Zhou still has to talk for more than an hour, right? "I sensed an important message.
"Yes, yes, did you say yes?" The young man asked cautiously.
"Oh, come with me." I led him to the hut, and just as I turned to leave, I was pulled by the corner of my clothes.
"What's wrong with you?" I'm a little impatient, this person is so annoying.
"I, I can't remember the way back, can you wait for me? It'll be fine in a while, soon. The young man blushed.
"Well, I'll wait for you under that tree outside, it doesn't taste very good." I said.
"Yes, thank you." After the young man finished speaking, he went into the hut.
I waited quietly, and I was relieved to know that my father couldn't get out for a while.
"That, thank you." The voice of the youth rang out.
"It's okay." I replied, "Come, follow me, I'll take you there." ”
"Oh, oh." The young man replied, "Well, are you a servant here?" ”
"Oh?" I was a little confused, but I knew I couldn't tell him who I was, or it wouldn't be good if I showed my stuff." ”
"Is the young lady in your family as good-looking as you?" The young man asked.
"Uh." Is this person saying I'm good-looking? Really, do men like good-looking women?
"Hehe, Rika, you're so good-looking, better than any woman I've seen here." The young man smirked, "Isn't your young lady also good-looking?" ”
"Thank you, thank you." I blushed a little, after all, no one had ever complimented me like this, "Our young lady?" It's okay, it's just so-so. ”
"Huh? Is that so? Obviously, Boss Zhou said that his daughter is very good-looking, and we people from the Western Continent are not allowed to see it. The youth said.
I led the young man to a pavilion and said, "Sit down for a while, you don't want to go back so early, do you?" ”
"Huh? Thank you, thank you, Pear Blossom, you know people very well. The young man said.
"It's okay, but are all of you people in the Western Continent like you?" I'm a little curious.
"What do you mean?" The youth looked at me.
"It's just the hair, and the language, the customs, and something." I replied.
"It's pretty much like that, men, with long hair and short hair, with curly hair and with straight hair. There are all kinds of colors, gold, blue, white, red. The young man paused, "Haven't you seen anyone from the Western Continent?" Aren't you a local? ”
"Ahh I've just been here for a short time, and my lord bought me from somewhere else. "I panicked.
"Ah, that's it, then you must go out for a walk when you have time, there are a lot of interesting things in the Western Continent." The young man said with a smile.
"Maybe." I lost my mood in an instant, yes, although I can see this "foreigner" today, but I won't have a chance in the future, I am just a "canary" in this big wall after all.
"Pear blossom? What happened to you? Why are you upset? Did I say something wrong? Or did I make some mistake again? The young man panicked.
"No, it's fine." I replied.
"Well, I can help you if you want." The young man suddenly became serious, "I can buy you from Boss Zhou and use my own savings, but you are so good-looking, it should be very expensive, too bad, will my savings not be enough?" ”
The troubled look of the young man amused me, and I couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha."
"Rika, aren't you sad?" The young man asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm doing well, you don't have to buy me." I replied.
"Ah, that's good, that's good." The young man laughed too.
"Tell me something about your Western Continent, I'd like to hear it." I said.
"Okay, okay." As he spoke, the young man continued.
Time passed quickly, and an hour quietly disappeared in the words of the youth.
"I, it's time for me to go back." The young man was a little embarrassed.
"Uh-huh, you go, by the way, don't tell anyone that you met me, you know?" I'm a little worried.
"No problem." The young man said, "Then goodbye Rika, I hope to see you again next time." ”
I sent the young man to a very close place to the lobby, and then went back, even forgetting to take the female red that was supposed to be retrieved.
After a while, the family and the maid slowly dispersed, and my mother came to me.
"Lily, are you alright? I forgot to bring you your female red in my place, there's nothing to do, you're not stuffy. "Mother cares.
"It's okay, I just took a nap." Fortunately, I didn't go to get the female red.
"In this way, your father finally met a famous businessman in the Western Continent this time, and it is estimated that they will have more contacts in the future." Mother said as she poured a cup of tea.
"Ah, by the way, mother, what are the people in the Western Continent like?" I asked.
"Huh? It's nothing, it's the same as us, hehe, hehe. "Lie, why lie? Is it just to dispel my curiosity about the Western Continent?
"Ah, that's right." I said with a lack of interest, "If it's okay, mother, please go back, I just took a nap and was a little tired." ”
"Then I won't bother you, I'll send someone to bring you your female celebrity later." After the mother finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.
I slowly lay down on the table, tears welling up in the corners of my eyes.
"Liar, liar, why lie to me? I'm already obedient, but I've been lying to me. Tears wet the clothes and wet the sleeves" Xiao Mishen, if you can, I want you to buy me. ”
I fell asleep on the table.
