Chapter 13: Encounters
Early the next morning, the two left the Compassion Temple and embarked on the way home.
"Senior brother, I heard that Fengyue City is very prosperous, let's go and have a look."
Luo Chen looked at Xiao Qian's eyes full of anticipation, how could he bear to refuse, "Go!" ”
When you come to Fengyue City, the dazzling sunlight is sprinkled between the green tiles and red bricks everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboards, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the indifferent and comfortable smiles, all of which reflect the pride and joy of the public of Yunyue Kingdom in the prosperous world. On both sides of the wide street, there are many shops of various shapes and types, and strange signboards abound. The dense and lush spikes do not move at all, the pedestrians on the street are endless, the incense cars and BMWs are flowing endlessly, and the hawkers are selling one after another, a lively and prosperous scene. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. There are pedestrians on the street, some who are carrying burdens, some are driving cars, some are driving donkeys to pull trains, and some are stopping to enjoy the scenery. With the tall city tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted with tea houses, wine shops, butcher shops, temples and so on.
Xiao Qian said with a bright smile: "It is worthy of being the national capital, it is indeed very lively, and it shows prosperity everywhere." ”
Suddenly, she saw a lot of people gathered around and didn't know what they were looking at, so she became curious, and hurriedly grabbed Luo Chen, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
It turned out to be a group of people surrounding a fortune teller, this gentleman looked very poor, but he claimed to be a half-immortal, who could know the fortunes and disasters of the world, and the future of marriage would be known. At this time, a scholar who looked at his twenties asked the fortune teller about his future fame.
The fortune teller glanced at him and said, "Son, your heavenly court is full of square circles, rich and rich, and you will definitely be promoted to an official and a lord." When the scholar heard this, he thanked him happily again and again.
Next, a few people told fortunes, this fortune teller either said that he was rich or expensive, or that he had no worries about food and clothing, he was all picking up good things, Xiao Qian looked at it, and suddenly felt that it was boring, and he was pulling his senior brother to leave, and the fortune teller suddenly said; "Girl, stay!"
Xiao Qian turned around and took a look: "Is there something wrong?" ”
The fortune teller looked at Xiao Qian in detail from top to bottom, and suddenly fell to his knees: "Nine Heavens Niangniang......
Xiao Qian was taken aback by the fortune teller's actions: "What do you do?" ”
The fortune teller stared at Xiao Qian tightly; "Girl, you are the phoenix among people, and you will become the most noble woman in this world, as long as you want, you can be the mother of the world."
"What a mess," Xiao Qian muttered in his heart.
When Luo Chen heard these words, he was extremely unhappy, and he pulled Xiao Qian and left.
After walking out of a distance, Luo Chen thought of what the fortune teller said just now, his heart was extremely unhappy, his face became more and more gloomy, Xiao Qian would be his wife, how could he be a mother in the world, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, afraid that it was really as the fortune teller said, wouldn't that Xiao Qian want to leave himself, can't, if he loses Xiao Qian, what is the point of living, suddenly he was so worried and scared, and hugged Xiao Qian: "Xiao Qian, no matter what happens, don't leave me, you and I are each other's only in this life." Promise me, okay? ”
Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the senior brother thought: "Senior brother, did what the fortune teller said just now make you think nonsense, don't you see that the fortune teller is a charlatan, everyone who tells fortunes in him, he says that people are rich and noble, how is it possible, he is talking nonsense, that is, just to cheat those people of money, you don't take what he said to me seriously, don't think about it, we will tell the master when we go back this time, we don't wait until next year to get married, after we go back, we will choose a good day and an auspicious day to get married." Good no good? ”
Luo Chen finally smiled: "Okay! ”
The two were looking at each other affectionately, and a burst of "grunt, grunt......" broke the sweet atmosphere at the moment, and Xiao Qian lowered his head shyly.
Luo Chen touched her hair dotingly, took her hand and walked to the Piaoxiangju in front, after entering, the lobby was full of guests, and there was an old man talking to him, Luo Chen pulled Xiao Qian directly to the private room on the second floor, and ordered some light vegetarian dishes.
"Today, the old man came to tell you about Wudang Mountain's worry-free longevity. Everyone listened to the old decay one by one while eating. The old storyteller took a sip of water from his teacup, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"It is said that the reputation of this worry-free Taoist in the martial arts is beyond reach, and everyone in the world admires him, this time he celebrates his birthday, and almost all large and small sects have sent disciples to congratulate him on his birthday. Heroes from all sects gathered together, which was a rare scene. This time, the congratulatory gift sent by Hengshan was the most valuable, and it was the word longevity engraved with crystal, but the Taoist chief just glanced at it and didn't say anything. During this period, two handsome and extraordinary, temperamental and noble sons sent a painting, and when the master saw the painting, he actually said hello three times. Just when all the martial arts people were talking, pay attention, the point is here...... The old decay drinks saliva first. ”
The guests were listening with bated breath, and the old storyteller actually stopped at the key point.
From time to time, there was a urging voice in the lobby: "Say it quickly, what's next?" ”
After the storyteller drank the water, he deliberately paused again, saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and waited for the following, and then said slowly:
Next, when all the martial arts people were discussing, a beautiful woman in white slowly fell in the sky, this woman looked like a country and a city, peerless, she stroked the piano with one hand, while singing, the sound was like the sound of the sky, rare in the world, what is more amazing is that there are butterflies to dance, a lot of butterflies flutter to dance with the sound of the piano, how a beautiful word is the picture! This woman in white is a song that amazes the world. ”
"And after that, where did the woman in white go?" Someone in the crowd asked.
The storyteller smiled mysteriously: "As for the whereabouts of this woman in white, wait for tomorrow." After speaking, he left Piaoxiangju in a burst of laughter.
The guests had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and wait for the arrival of tomorrow.
Although Xiao Qian and Luo Chen were sitting in the private room on the second floor, both of them were martial arts practitioners, and any wind and grass could reach the ears of the two. ”
Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Senior brother is so smart, I guessed it at once." ”
Luo Chen was very angry in his heart, and asked calmly on the surface; "Why do you celebrate your birthday like that?"
Xiao Qian said aggrievedly: "It's not the master yet, the master didn't prepare a birthday gift when I left, let me figure out a way by myself, I just thought, I think that a senior like the worry-free Taoist must be a rare and strange thing to play, I can only think of some unique ways to celebrate his birthday, to make his old man happy, just saw a piano shop again, I was inspired to think of this unique way of celebrating the birthday." Well, I'm smart too, brother? ”
Luo Chen looked at this little shallow who didn't understand the world and was simple-minded, even if she was angry in her heart, she was reluctant to say half a sentence about her, this girl didn't understand the complexity of the rivers and lakes, and the sinister hearts of people, I am afraid that this matter has already spread all over the martial arts, it is estimated that many people have long been thinking about her, she is still unaware, alas, just stay by her side all the time, hold up a carefree sky for her, and let her live in a simple and simple world forever.
"That's right, our little shallow is extremely smart." Luo Chen said softly.
Xiao Qian hugged his fists and smiled: "Thank you senior brother for the compliment, the little girl deserves it." ”
"Hahaha, you!" Luo Chen said with a smile, there is really no way to take this little junior sister.
At this time, the voice of the rugged man downstairs came:
"Tomorrow Lao Tzu must ask the old man who told the story, the stunning woman in white, where is she going, as soon as I know where she is going, Lao Tzu will go to her, but to see what kind of beauty she is, if you want to be really beautiful as a fairy, Lao Tzu will take her back to serve me, hahahaha......"
"It's just you, hmph, she's the person that Young Master Ben has a crush on, how far you go." A rich boy said.
The rugged man said angrily: "You little rabbit cub, you dare to rob women with Lao Tzu, you are tired of it!" ”
The rich boy snorted coldly: "Young Master Ben is just tired of living, what's the matter?" ”
"Look at how Lao Tzu cleans you up today," he said, and stabbed him with his sword.
The rich boy dodged and picked up his sword to fight back.
Luo Chen looked at this scene with cold eyes, eager to kill all these two people, and actually dared to think about his own woman.
Xiao Qian looked at his senior brother's gaze and asked with a little weakness: "Senior brother, am I in trouble again, I ......?"
Luo Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Qian, and his cold gaze instantly changed to gentleness: "Xiao Qian, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." ”
Although the senior brother said this, Xiao Qian's heart was still not at ease, and she was also worried that the senior brother would kill these two people if he was impulsive, thinking of this, she cautiously spoke; "Senior brother, I'm full, let's get out of here."
Seeing Xiao Qian so cautious, Luo Chen felt very distressed, and took the opportunity to hug Xiao Qian and kiss him on his forehead.
After that, the two took advantage of the chaos to leave Piaoxiangju.
