Chapter 20: First Arrival in Xiling
"Well, I don't agree with this," Nan Guo Min'er put down the big cake in her hand and said, "Even if it wasn't intentional, if someone died, wouldn't it have anything to do with him?" Trapping others in order to protect yourself is also considered an accomplice! Betrayal is betrayal, and it is impossible to find all kinds of ways to shirk it. ”
Nan Guo Min'er spoke righteously and looked at the stone without giving in, while the latter was a little helpless, feeling that it really didn't make sense to talk about these things with Min'er, who was jealous and hateful. looked at Konishi again, and found that the child was hanging his head, hiding his expression, so that people could not see clearly.
"Konishi?"
"Huh?" Raising his head suddenly, Konishi smiled at the stone and said, "Brother Shi, I know what to do." In fact, Sister Min'er is right, betrayal, betrayal, and any excuse is in vain. ”
"Ha, it's still Konishi who is smart, and it's a little bit thorough!" Nan Guo Min'er looked at the stone proudly, looking proud.
"You guys!" Shi sighed, and then said, "It's not too early, let's continue on our way after eating." I remember there was a town in front of me, quite bustling, and we could go there and have a walk. ”
After hearing the stone's words, Nan Guo Min'er stood up, clapped her palms, and said, "That's right, you are a precursor to the recovery of your memory, it seems that it won't be long before you remember who you are." ”
"I hope so." The stone sighed, and then looked at Konishi thoughtfully.
Xiling Town is indeed a very prosperous place, as the stone says. A hundred years ago, it was just a wild land, inhabited by several barbarian tribes, who fought with each other every day, robbing cattle, sheep and women. Later, a warrior came here and married the most beautiful woman of the tribe. In order to give his beloved wife a stable life, the warrior led her people to fight east and west to quell the trouble. Later, the man took these clansmen to take the initiative to take refuge in the then Emperor of Beining, and the Emperor of Beining saw that the center was commendable, so he gave the man a knighthood and personally governed the place. At the beginning, the Emperor of Bac Ninh did not pay attention to this place, thinking that it was just a barbarian land, and what could be done. Fifteen years later, however, Xiling Town has become the most prosperous place in the western part of Bac Ninh, where cattle and sheep are everywhere, ores are abundant, grains are abundant, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, the Emperor of Bac Ninh sent Tang Lingzhen, a famous minister of the humerus at that time, to Xiling Town to help him open up a wharf and pave roads, so that Xiling Town, which was like a pearl, was presented to the world, which accelerated the trade and commerce, and also achieved today's prosperity.
Standing on the wide street, Nan Guo Min'er looked at the people in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, I thought that no matter how prosperous a town was, it would be like that." I didn't expect it to be so incredible after seeing it with my own eyes! Look at the carved beams and paintings, it's really amazing. There is also the silk silk over there, wow, such a precious mulberry white silk cloth, it is actually sold on the street! Do they think it's white steamed buns? Also, look at these hairpins, the gems on them are amber green eyes! Such a treasure is actually sold in a small stall, how rich and wealthy are the real people! Nan Guo Min'er couldn't help but be amazed while touring the small stalls on both sides of the street, "I don't think this place should be called a town at all, it should be called a city!" ”
Xiaoxi, who had been bored all the way, also began to look around, attracted by this colorful world, and forgot about his worries for the time being. When Nan Guo Min'er sighed at the jewelry, Xiaoxi stared at a sugar man next to him for a long time, with a longing look in his eyes.
Following Konishi's gaze, Shi smiled knowingly, then walked over and took out two copper plates, and then took a freshly pinched candy man, returned to Konishi, and asked, "Do you like this?" ”
"How do you know I like Monkey King?" Konishi smiled and took the candy man, and asked in some surprise.
"Because when I think about it, I like Sun Wukong." Stone smiled, and after he said this, he realized what he had said, and couldn't help but be in a daze.
However, Nan Guo Min'er on the side didn't think so much, her eyes looked at Xiaoxi with envy, and Nan Guo Min'er said reluctantly: "Why does Xiaoxi have gifts?" I want a gift too! ”
Hearing this, Shi Shi said a little unknowingly: "The money on me is all yours, is there any difference between you buying it yourself and me buying it?" ”
"Of course there is a difference!" Nan Guo Min'er clenched her fists, her tender face was flushed, but the words turned in her mouth for a long time, and she still couldn't say it, so she had to hang her fists angrily, turn around and leave angrily.
The beautiful green eyebrows frowned slightly, and the stone muttered, "Okay, why is she angry again?" ”
Pulling the hem of the stone's clothes, Xiaoxi said, "Brother Shi, you can just pick something and buy it for Sister Min'er." As long as you buy it, whatever it is, she'll like it. ”
Leaning over and hanging the tip of Konishi's nose, the stone smiled: "You little elf, you even know this kind of thing?" ”
"yes. In the past, when I was in the village, those sisters would be very happy to receive something from their lover, even if it was a red head rope. I think they women just like to receive gifts. ”
patted Xiaoxi's forehead, although Shi felt that his words were full of innocence, but it could not be denied that what he said was really reasonable. Looking around, the stone sets its eye on a handkerchief embroidered with a delicate pattern.
"Hey, Min'er, wait for me!"
Hearing the voice behind her, Nan Guo Min'er deliberately slowed down, and at the same time paid attention to the movement behind her, for fear that if she walked fast, that stupid person would not be able to catch up.
Running quickly to Nan Guo Min'er's side, Shi smiled warmly, and then handed a snow-white handkerchief to Nan Guo Min'er, and said with a smile: "Don't say I'm eccentric." Now, this is for you. ”
"You still have a little conscience!" Nan Guo Min'er shyly took the veil and slowly opened it happily and sweetly. But when she saw what was on the veil, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Hundred filial piety maps?! Hey, are you supposed to be a six-year-old urchin? ”
Stunned by Nan Guo Min'er's anger, Shi Shi asked stupidly, "Isn't this good?" I see that the embroidery is exquisite, why, you don't like it? ”
"Of course I don't like it anymore!"
Shi didn't expect that she had fulfilled Nan Guo Min'er's "wish", but she was still not satisfied, and couldn't help but ask with a headache: "Then what do you want me to send?" ”
"What's the matter, it should be a mandarin duck!" Looking at the fat-headed and fat-headed male doll on the handkerchief, Nan Guo Min'er couldn't help but be even more angry, pointing to the stone's nose and shaking for a long time, and finally only said, "You...... Forget it, it's a rotten piece of wood, I don't want to talk to you! ”
Looking at Nan Guo Min'er's angry back, Shi muttered: "I also gave the thing, but why is she even more angry?" ”
Looking at the confused appearance of the stone, Xiaoxi looked like a little adult, with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing again and again.
"Brother Shi, you don't know a girl's heart too well, no wonder Sister Min'er is angry. You, it's better to study hard, don't look at my vest all day long, if you go on like this, Sister Min'er won't want you! ”
"Who should I ask for advice from this unfamiliar person?"
Konishi casually picked up a green leather soft book from the stall on the side of the road, handed it to the stone, and said, "That's it!" ”
"Wind Flower Snow Moon Collection?" Shi frowned and turned a few pages of the book, then his face became more and more red, and he threw it back directly, and said in a low voice, "You kid, how come you even know about this kind of forbidden book?" When I go back, I'm sure I'll have to pack you up! As he spoke, the stone grabbed Konishi's wrist, buried his head forward, and walked away quickly.
"Then why is it a banned book?" Konishi said aggrievedly, "It's all love poems, girls like it the most, I ...... before" Konishi wanted to say something, but he suddenly stopped, his lips closed tightly, and he didn't say a word.
However, Stone's mind was full of the "obscene words" he had just seen, and he didn't notice Konishi's abnormal reaction. All he wants to do now is to catch up with Nan Guo Min'er quickly, and don't let that girl wander around in this strange place.
***
Since you have come to such a rich place, of course you have to enjoy it, so Nan Guo Min'er chose the most luxurious inn, three rooms for three people, all of which must be done.
However, Konishi said that he would be afraid to live alone in such a large room, and asked to live with the stone, and finally the three rooms became two, and a young couple lived next door.
Speaking of which, the couple and Nan Guo Min'er are still fellow villagers. The husband and wife both know some martial arts, so they partnered to open a dart shop, and this time they came to Xiling Town to personally escort a batch of goods. And their employers are also very generous, the deposit is very generous, and they have good food and accommodation along the way, and they have not suffered the slightest sin. As long as the darts are delivered tomorrow and the rest of the remuneration is obtained, everything will be fine.
Nan Guo Min'er is also very close to this couple, because she is very envious of this kind of chivalrous life, and looking at the appearance of the two of them, Nan Guo Min'er can't help but think of the incomprehensible wood beside her.
"Hey, how good it is for you to be like this, free and easy, to earn money together, to enjoy happiness together, even if there is danger, you will face it together." Nan Guo Min'er held her chin with both hands, her face full of envy, "If you stay in business for a few years, you can do some stable small business, and you can also do martial arts, no one dares to bully you." In the future, if you have a baby, you can also teach him martial arts together...... Oh, it's a fantastic picture to think about! ”
was a little embarrassed by Nan Guo Min'er, Xu Qingqing smiled and said: "Miss Nan Guo, don't just envy us, don't you see that the son next to you has been peeling chestnuts for you, my family's mouth, but I don't have that patience." ”
