Chapter 3: Into the City

Because of the heavy rain, the air smells of fresh earth, and the trees are also washed away and look more vibrant. The sunlight passes through the gaps in the branches and leaves and spills onto the earth, forming rays of light that give the young shoots that have just broken through the soil a warm coat, and slightly exude a warm luster.

And in the middle of the mountain road, a girl was chattering like an elf around a little girl whose eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown but were already beautiful. The laughter of silver bells and the chirping of birds are intertwined and complement each other.

"Sister Qin, are you tired, do you want to take a break." The little fish walked in front with a smile and jumped, and did not feel tired.

Ji Yueqin walked slowly behind, just smiled and shook her head at Xiaoyu's question, but in fact, she didn't know how many blood blisters she had called, who had been pampered. But she knew that the longer she stayed, the closer the danger became, so she didn't dare to stay and didn't want to stay.

From early morning to dusk, the two of them finally walked to the gate of the city, Xiaoyu's sweat wet her clothes, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed exhaustion. And Ji Yueqin, who endured the pain of the bursting blood blisters under her feet with a firm will, couldn't walk anymore, standing at the city gate panting heavily. Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

The soldier at the door looked at the two girls and shouted, "Those two girls, don't hurry up and enter the city, the door is going to close!" When Xiao Yu heard this, he hurriedly picked up Ji Yueqin and walked to the city, "Brother Bing, let's go in." Ji Yueqin was finally dragged into the city by Xiaoyu, and the two of them sat on the base of the city wall to rest regardless of their image.

Xiao Yu seemed to have reached his goal, and suddenly he was deflated and a little at a loss, "Sister Qin...... What are we doing in the city? Xiao Yu thought that Ji Yueqin just told her to go into the city, but didn't tell her what she was going to do, so he asked.

Ji Yueqin took out the mutton fat hosta, waved it and said, "Let's go eat." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Ji Yueqin in surprise, looked at the seriousness in Ji Yueqin's eyes, and asked, "Is this ...... How do you eat? Sister Qin, are you bluffing me to play? "Xiao Yu has been staying in a thatched hut by the river except for buying medicine for her father once, so she is unfamiliar with such an object, and she doesn't know what it does except look good.

Ji Yueqin smiled mysteriously and said, "Just follow me." So he pulled the little fish and stood up with difficulty.

The pain of the cone came from the soles of her feet, and the crimson on Ji Yueqin's face was suddenly turned white by the pain of the heart, as if she could no longer walk. Xiao Yu looked at Ji Yueqin nervously, and said a little overwhelmed: "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so pale?"

Ji Yueqin looked at Xiaoyu, smiled with difficulty and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." Holding on to the wall, Ji Yueqin slowly stood up. Xiao Yu helped Ji Yueqin to walk on the road, Ji Yueqin smiled and asked a passerby, "Big brother, do you know where there is a pawn shop?" The passer-by looked at the two little girls strangely and asked the location of the pawn shop, but he didn't say anything but pointed to the left and said, "Turn left over there and you'll be Jubaozhuang, just across the street from Jing Ming Tea House." ”

Ji Yueqin looked at the direction pointed by the passerby's finger, thanked the passer-by with a smile, and walked towards Jubaozhuang. Just as they walked towards Jubaozhuang, they found a bunch of people crowded next to the emperor's list, and only one Xiucai read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the thieves have been eliminated today, but the rest of the party has not been eliminated, and the reward is now 10,000 taels for arrest." "There are also two portraits attached to this list. Xiao Yu stepped forward to look at it because of curiosity, and when he suddenly found that the portrait of the woman was actually Ji Yueqin, he immediately screamed. Fortunately, because she climbed the mountain and waded to the city, Ji Yueqin's face was covered with dust and dirty mud, and she couldn't tell her appearance, which would only make people think she was a wild girl. When Xiao Yu wanted to scream, Ji Yueqin hurriedly covered Xiao Yu's mouth and pulled Xiao Yu to the corner of an alley next to her.

"Sister Xiaoyu, now you know my background......" Ji Yueqin's expression was dark and unclear, and she said in a gloomy tone, and she didn't know if Xiaoyu would send her to the government for the ten thousand taels of gold, after all, she couldn't run away now.

Xiaoyu's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Sister Qin is my family, and I will protect you." I will always be by my sister's side. Xiao Yu's firm tone has a magic that does not make people refuse.

Ji Yueqin looked at Xiaoyu's clear eyes in a daze, nodded, her tone revealed warmth and a little dependence, hugged Xiaoyu and said, "Thank you." ”

Xiaoyu rubbed Ji Yueqin's head and said, "What a stupid girl." ”

After saying that, the two girls went out of the alley and walked towards Jubaozhuang. Jubaozhuang deserves the name of this treasure, and the plaques and decorations of Zhuangzi are full of atmosphere, which can show the wealth and momentum of a master. The Jing Ming Tea House opposite Jubaozhuang is also a tea house corresponding to the name. The tea guests are quietly savoring the fragrant tea in the cup, and their eyes reveal their admiration and appreciation for the fragrant tea. The air is filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and there is a hint of sweet osmanthus cake. The two girls walked from the river to the city and did not eat, and when they smelled the aroma of osmanthus cake, their stomachs crowed at the same time.

Xiaoyu embarrassed her cheeks, and her red face made her delicate and cute, although there were dirty marks on her face, it still did not affect her cuteness. Ji Yueqin looked at Xiaoyu's cute appearance and said, "Wait a minute, we will buy as many osmanthus cakes as you want." After speaking, he nodded the nose of the little fish, "Glutton." ”

Xiao Yu was a little unconvinced at this time and said, "Sister Qin is greedy...... I wasn't the only one who had a rumbling stomach. After speaking, he pretended to be angry, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Ji Yueqin.

Seeing this, Ji Yueqin hurriedly said, "Oh, good sister, don't be angry, I know it's wrong." After speaking, he looked at the little fish pitifully.

Xiaoyu picked up Ji Yueqin's pitiful appearance and felt a little funny: "Okay, I'm not angry." You won't make fun of me anymore. ”

Seeing this, Ji Yueqin grimaced, and stopped talking. So she pulled Xiaoyu and wanted to walk into the treasure village, but was stopped by Xiao Er at the door, "Where did Xiao Huazi come from?" Stay where you go, this is not a good hall. Xiao Er's voice was sharp and thin, and he was indeed full of a hint of mockery.

After experiencing a drastic change, Ji Yueqin understood that sometimes even family affection in this world is something that can be erased, not to mention that in this world where power and money are intertwined, there will be supreme emotions. Thinking of her mother's tragic death, her father faced them alone in order to escape, and she couldn't figure out why she only understood that she needed to seek refuge to clear her father's grievances so that her parents could be blinded under the Nine Springs. She clenched her fists, but suddenly realized that her hand was pulling the other hand, and the warmth of this palm pulled Ji Yueqin out of hatred. Good thing there are small fish.

Xiao Yu looked at her worriedly, and the doggy Xiao Er was ready to pick up a broom and drive the two of them out of the door. Ji Yueqin's face sank suddenly, the atmosphere hit the freezing point, but that small body exuded a sense of oppression that could not be resisted, making Xiao Er feel breathless. Ji Yueqin said coldly to Xiao Er: "Where did the dog slave come from and call at the door?" It turns out that Jubaozhuang is such a dilapidated place. Ji Yueqin's tone was full of disdain and mockery, as if she had come to the wrong place.

The shopkeeper saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, although the girl was young but her small body stood there straight, neither humble nor arrogant, with that unique cold temperament, so she hurriedly said: "Why don't you let the two girls come in quickly?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked at Ji Yueqin, which was diametrically opposed to the attitude just now, "Miss, please." And Ji Yueqin didn't look at Xiao Er, and walked straight to the counter. The shopkeeper showed a dissatisfied look at Xiao Er, and Xiao Er didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper more, so he stood quietly on the side.

Ji Yueqin took out the mutton fat hosta and handed it to the shopkeeper wearing a gold-threaded embroidered robe, and the shopkeeper was also shocked, and did not think of why a wild child could take out such a high-quality hosta. The shopkeeper felt that this hosta was not extraordinary at a glance, so he looked at this hosta carefully. This butterfly pendant hosta is a naturally formed butterfly-shaped small jade pendant that my father inadvertently obtained during his expedition to the Western Regions, and was later made into a hairpin made with the best sheep fat jade. She also knew that this hairpin must be worth a lot of money, and she should pawn it for a good price.

The shopkeeper was also gently stroking the hosta, but he didn't make a sound. Ji Yueqin just straightened her waist and stood in place without moving or making a sound, just watching quietly. At this time, the shopkeeper raised his head, and did not bargain with Ji Yueqin with a smile, but squinted his eyes at the dirty Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu.

Suddenly, he suddenly spoke: "Come on, catch these two thieves and send them to the government!" ”
