Standing on the hillside and blowing a cool breeze for a while, she stepped down her horse and drew closer in the direction of the lamplight, when she heard a faint and noisy sound, and even if her hearing was good, she could not distinguish the familiar sound from it.

She stood for a long time, until she heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from a short distance, Liu Man'er had been in the barracks for a while, and knew that they should be patrols in the barracks, and she turned and walked back for fear of being discovered by them.

Back at the inn, Yue Qingning had fallen asleep on the table, while Zhang Shiquan was sitting at the table dozing, and the most unlucky were the guards behind Yue Qingning.

Although it was already summer, the night was still a little cold, the door of the inn was hidden, Liu Man'er pushed the door in, and the creaking sound woke up the people in the inn, they looked out of the door, and saw that it was Liu Man'er, and retracted their gaze.

"You're finally back." Seeing Liu Man'er come in, Zhang Shiquan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My aunt, hurry up and let her go, with her sitting in front of me, I can't even sleep." ”

"What are you afraid of her doing?" Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Shiquan, and said, "I'm giving you a good opportunity, you have to cherish it." ”

As she spoke, she ignored Zhang Shiquan and went upstairs.

Shuai Shuai also jumped behind her, Zhang Shiquan didn't want to serve this Yue Qingning anymore, so he stood up and was about to leave, when suddenly his clothes were pulled again, and he turned his head, only to see Yue Qingning, who was sitting opposite him, raised his drunken eyes and said, "Tonight is not over yet, you are not allowed to go." ”

It's been two or three hours, and the drunk Yue Qingning is much more sober at the moment.

"I said, why can't you get along with a rough guy like me?" Zhang Shiquan helplessly brushed away the hand holding the hem of his clothes, and said, "You better go back quickly, a girl's family, the third watch is still outside in the middle of the night, what does it look like!" ”

"You know I'm a girl!" Hearing this, Yue Qing Ning sat up straight and touched his face, but found that the beard on his face was still there.

Zhang Shiquan saw her slightly embarrassed appearance, and didn't say much, only stretched out his hand to pull off the beard on her face, and said: "You haven't straightened this fake beard, a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance, what you met today is my Lao Zhang, if you meet someone else, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not suffer!" ”

"Okay, okay, what's wrong with the woman, your boss doesn't run around like this?"

After being exposed by Zhang Shiquan, Yue Qingning didn't care, she waved her hand and said: "Anyway, I promised your host that I would accompany you for the night tonight, I am willing to gamble and lose, don't you want to leave!" ”

"What are you betting with her about my Lao Zhang? I'm going to sleep! Zhang Shiquan said and was about to go upstairs.

"Not allowed!" As soon as Yue Qingning slapped the table, a person from the guard behind her came up, stopped in front of Zhang Shiquan, and shouted, "If you want to sleep, sleep here!" ”

"What if I don't?" Zhang Shiquan glared.

"Then don't blame us for being rude!"

The guard put the sword in his hand horizontally, Zhang Shiquan instantly slammed down, and said: "If you don't allow, you can't do it, what a horizontal is it, it's a big deal that I'll sleep in this hall!" ”

Saying that, he calmly merged the two tables, lay down on the table, and regardless of everyone's eyes, he fell asleep, Yue Qingning saw that he didn't say that he was leaving, and then lay on the table again.

Zhang Shiquan actually couldn't sleep at all, although he was a big old man, but under the supervision of a group of men with knives, he couldn't sleep at all, so he pretended for a while, and then began to turn over and over on the table.

About a quarter of an hour later, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the shadow coming down from the upper floor, and sat up from the table, "Where are you going?" ”

"Find a place to play." Liu Man'er replied with her head held high.

Just now she went back to the room to change into a set of women's clothes, under the light, she was dressed in a light purple gauze fluttering like a fairy, a black hair like a cloud on the head loosely tied in a bun, the rest of the moon like a loose bun, she looked sideways over, her eyebrows were like smoke, the light set off her ethereal temperament, giving people a sense of beauty and incomprehensible.

Zhang Shiquan felt that he was almost stunned, and before he could react, Liu Man'er had already walked outside, Zhang Shiquan hurriedly jumped off the table and followed, and said, "You are a girl's family, and suddenly dressed up like this, where are you going?" ”

"Go for fun." Liu Man'er replied again, still walking out.

This Luoyan City is different from other places, it is day and night, different from other cities, there is never a curfew here, even at night it is brightly lit, although there are few people on the street, but there are always people coming and going, and even faintly can hear the beautiful vocal music not far away.

Seeing that Zhang Shiquan and Liu Man'er had walked out, Yue Qingning also stood up, chased after him, and said, "Hey, didn't I say that I am willing to lose the bet?" Where are you two going? ”

No one paid attention to her, obviously both of them didn't take this bet to heart, so they took this Yue Qingning seriously, which was really naïve and terrible.

She was still a little drunk, and when she went out by the cool breeze, she instantly sobered up a lot, she was very curious about Liu Man'er at the moment, and couldn't help but follow her, her guards naturally wanted to follow her to protect her, and the group walked on this street, but it was quite vast.

"Yue Gongzi, I'll take you to catch fireflies outside the city." Liu Man'er suddenly stopped and said to Yue Qingning.

"Okay." Yue Qingning opened her mouth and agreed, although she didn't know what Liu Man'er meant, but she was not afraid of bringing so many guards.

Seeing that she agreed, Liu Man'er continued to walk forward, and walked to the outskirts of the city, she found an empty place to sit down, Yue Qingning had already found the stars in the grass opposite at this moment, she wanted to catch it, but when she saw Liu Man'er sitting leisurely on the stone, she felt that if she went to catch the firefly, she would be a little worthy, so she also sat beside her.

"Hey, didn't you say you'd take me to catch fireflies?" Yue Qingning asked sideways.

"Shh Liu Man'er put her index finger to her mouth and made a silent gesture towards Yue Qingning, her eyes looked fixedly ahead, Yue Qingning also followed, and after a while, she saw many fireflies flying out of the grass.

"It's so beautiful!"

She couldn't help but admire, one by one the fireflies flickered and flickered, like stars twinkling and flashing, and like a small lantern, emitting a dense light, elves flying on the grass like a fairy, it was really beautiful.

"What did you do?" Yue Qingning held her head in her hands and looked sideways at Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er smiled and didn't say a word, just beckoned to the opposite side, and Shuai Shuai got out of the grass.

"So that's it." Yue Qingning knew that it was Shuai Shuai who disturbed these fireflies, so he didn't think there was anything special, "But your pet is really smart, is it called Shuai Shuai?" ”

Liu Man'er ignored her, she stretched out her hand and wanted to stroke Shuai Shuai's head, but the clinker Shuai Shuai grinned at her like a fried hair, but Yue Qingning didn't feel scared, but giggled.

"Where are you from and what are you doing here?" After half a ring, Yue Qingning asked again, she looked at Liu Man'er curiously: "I am relatively rare for a woman like you." ”

"You are still young, how many people can you meet and how many things you have experienced." Liu Man'er chuckled and said leisurely.

"Don't underestimate my young age, I have followed my father since I was a child, what have I never encountered?" Yue Qingning said a little arrogantly.

"Then you're amazing." Although Liu Man'er praised it, her words were disapproving.

Yue Qingning saw that Liu Man'er didn't want to take care of her too much, but said more energetically, she said: "My father took me to the north and south since I was a child, and finally settled in this Luoyan City, although my family is not rich and noble, but in this Luoyan City still has a little face, do you know, I call him uncle, by the way, what are you doing in Luoyan City?" If you don't tell me, maybe I can help you. ”

"I'm just a passerby." Liu Man'er smiled slightly and said, "This Luoyan City is nothing special to me. ”

"Nonsense, how can it not be special? This wild goose city is beautiful, especially in the evening, the sunset is even more beautiful, my favorite is in the evening, sitting on the city wall to watch the sunset. "Yue Qingning has lived in Luoyan City for a few years, but she has a lot of feelings for her.

"Really?" Liu Man'er didn't say much to her, but said, "Then have you ever been outside the city to see this firefly before?" ”

"Not really." Yue Qingning shook his head and said, "My father won't let me come over, what's more, no one has accompanied me before, if I knew that this firefly was so beautiful, I would definitely come over every night." ”

Her voice is crisp and tactful, melodious, Liu Man'er guessed that she may not be fifteen years old, it seems, she is still a little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and today she is also bored, and she actually took a little girl from someone else as a pastime.

"Okay, the fireflies have also seen it, you can go back." Liu Man'er sat up from the stone.

"You took me out to see the fireflies, did you want me to come home?" Yue Qingning said a little unhappily.

"No, it's just that I'm worried that if you don't come home so late, your family will be worried." Liu Man'er had a gentle face and said to her: "It's my fault to bet rashly with you today, you are just a little girl." ”

She reached out and picked up a strand of hair that fell from her cheek, but Yue Qingning felt that Liu Man'er looked down on her a little, and retorted loudly: "I'm not a little girl." ”

"If you say no, it's not, we're going back to sleep anyway, if you still want to play something, come back to me tomorrow." Liu Man'er didn't say much to her, just walked back, and said, "You come tomorrow, I still want you to teach me how to play dice." ”

Speaking of the dice he was good at, Yue Qingning's face showed a smile and said, "That's okay, then I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”
