Chapter 2: Encounter with a demon man
"Bajie, do you understand what you just explained?" Lin Cheng frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with An Youran, who was already in a state of dementia.
"Bajie, the main thing is waiting for you to reply!" Yuewen on the side kindly tugged at An Youran's sleeve with his hand.
"Ahh An Youran came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order: "Please rest assured, the eight precepts will be done!" β
You can't blame him for wandering in the world, it's really that what Lin Cheng said to him was too shocking - the prince is coming back! The demon who hasn't heard from him for five years and hasn't been back home once is coming back!
"Go down. Go back quickly, don't make any mistakes. Lin Cheng took a sip of tea, looked at An Youran from the corner of his eye, and emphasized again: "This is a special order from the prince, and it must be done carefully." Once the curtain is hung in the guest room, be sure to double-check the effect of the shading and do not let in direct sunlight! β
"Yes, my subordinates understand." An bowed leisurely and retired.
Walked quickly to the side gate of the palace, and there was already a prepared carriage waiting at the door. Seeing An coming leisurely, the little guy who was driving the car hurriedly bowed down, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Bajie, the villain is aquatic, Master Lin has explained, and the villain will take you to the town to buy materials today." β
"Well, there's Brother Lao Shuisheng." An smiled leisurely and nodded and got into the carriage.
As soon as he sat down, Shui Sheng immediately set off and hurried to Yuanyue Town, which is famous for producing the best knitwear in Dayu. The purpose of An Youran's trip was to go there to buy the best material for making the curtain - Yunyi yarn.
The cloud-wing veil is said to have an excellent shading effect, and if it is made into a curtain and hung in the house, even if the sunlight shines in strongly, it can only be as subtle and soft as a glowing fire. Because the material is as light as a cloud and as thin as a cicada's wings, it is called cloud wing yarn. This yarn is said to be produced only in Yuanyue Town, and the quantity is very small, and the price is higher than gold.
Yuanyue Town is quite far away from the palace, and the road conditions in ancient times are very bad, and the bumps along the way make An Youran feel extremely painful. I couldn't help but complain secretly in my heart: This wicked son, before he came back, he gave a strange order - 'no sunlight shall enter the guest room'! Is he going to entertain vampires? It's better that he's taken captive by the vampires himself! Before the people came back, they had already tossed me half to death, and when I came back, I guess my life was not enough to compensate him!
Finally arrived at Yuanyue Town, An leisurely got out of the carriage with weak legs, looked up at the sky, and found that it was almost dusk. Thinking of Director Lin's special instructions before leaving, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Shuisheng, it seems that we are going to rush overnight today." You're here at any time, and I'll be back as soon as I've bought the fabric. We'll leave right away, and we'll be able to delay a little less. β
Shui Sheng also felt that this proposal was very good, so he stayed at the post station and waited, and An leisurely came to the largest satin fabric store in Yuanyue Town alone-Jinluozhuang. When you enter the house, you can see that there are bustling customers, all kinds of fabrics are readily available, and the whole store is extremely busy, and it is not to lose the name of the world's first cloth village!
"What do you want to see this guest officer?" A shopkeeper came to An Youran's side and greeted him warmly.
"Do you have a cloud-wing veil here?" An leisurely didn't do much nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Yes!" The shopkeeper looked at An Youran a few times with some hesitation, "This yarn is three taels of gold and one foot...... Does Childe know? β
An Youran saw his eyes and understood that this guy was dressed a little shabby, and he had serious doubts about his purchasing power. So he said with a slight sneer on his lips: "Let your shopkeeper bring the best Yunyi yarn, if the color is good, I want it all!" β
The man was shocked when he heard this. Thinking that although he was young and dressed plainly, he spoke and behaved like a big family, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly invited the shopkeeper to come and receive him. The shopkeeper was in his fifties, thin, shrewd and capable. As soon as he saw An Youran, he saluted first and said, "The guest officer wants the best Yunyi yarn?" Please come to the private room with the old man to take a closer look. β
An leisurely returned the salute and said, "Yes, there is a shopkeeper to lead the way." β
Immediately after entering the private room, someone served fragrant tea and snacks, and the shopkeeper politely let An Ran take a seat leisurely and took out a light yarn as white as jade and put it on the table.
"Objectively, please see, this is the best cloud wing yarn in our store, you see that this color is the purest moon white, and the luster and texture are the best quality."
An leisurely took it to welcome the light, and sure enough, the texture was fine, the color was white and smooth, and what was even more amazing was that the bright light became looming after passing through the thin yarn like a cicada's wings, showing a soft feeling like a glowing fire. It's really the best! Just when he wanted to ask the boss how many goods he had, a white and slender hand appeared and took the Yunyi yarn from his hand without warning.
"Sure enough, it's as light as a cloud, and as thin as a cicada's wings! Shopkeeper, what is the price of this yarn? A low, seductive voice rang out.
Uninvited, rude, and want to be brazen! The three crimes can be pulled to the noon gate and beheaded! An Youran was suddenly furious, and slapped the table and jumped up: "Put down your dirty hands and get out of the way?! β
As soon as these words came out, all the people around them quieted down, and several women even rebuked.
"Who is this person, how can he be so fierce to that son!"
"yes, how can he be so irritable and rude! β¦β¦β
Hearing this, An leisurely was angry: Is there still a heavenly principle in this world? It's obvious that this person is rude, but why has he become vexatious? It seems that this person must not be mortal, I don't know where it is sacred! I couldn't help but take a closer look at the culprit in front of me who caused the unhappiness.
I saw a young man in red standing in the hall as bright as the stars, he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his skin was like condensation, his eyes were like paint, his eyebrows were green without painting, his lips were not dotted and Zhu, Xiao Xiao was like a pineson, and Xuan Xuan was like a morning glow.
An You frowned and stared at the young man in red, and said in his heart: No wonder the people around him seem to have lost their hearts, and they don't distinguish between right and wrong, it turns out that they are beautiful and beautiful, and they are guilty of nymphomania! I don't care if you look better than Pan An or if you are a heavenly immortal, as long as you dare to grab this batch of Yunyi yarn with me today...... People block killing, Buddha blocks **!
The young man found An leisurely looking at him, and looked back at him curiously. An Youran's lips rose slightly, revealing her signature evil smile. The young man seemed to have a premonition, and he reacted very quickly and shouted in unison: "Shopkeeper, I want all your Yunyi yarn!" β
"This ......" the shopkeeper rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "There are ten yarns in the shop, and you both said they want them all, how is this good?" Why don't you two discuss it and cut your love by one of you? β
"Okay," An replied leisurely and simply: "This son has an extraordinary appearance, and at a glance, he knows that he is an immortal." How can you bear him to fight with me for this worldly thing? β
The onlookers let out a sound of admiration, and the shopkeeper was even more overjoyed, "Then what does this little brother mean......"
"Naturally, he quit!" The people around him gasped, but An Youran turned a deaf ear, and said loudly as a matter of course: "He is an immortal, how can an immortal need to use this worldly thing?" Since I, a mortal man, have taken it all! Shopkeeper, you still don't pack and collect money? Didn't you hear that just now, everyone is praising me for the wisdom of my decision! β
"You're so clever." The young man in red walked up to An Youran, and his deep and charming eyes stared straight at him: "Little brother, I am really useful for this batch of cloud wing yarns!" Can you give up? After speaking, he smiled slightly, and it was really dazzling.
Looking at his peerless face, An Youran couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to the demon who saw the son of the world in his early years, he had a resistance to beauty, otherwise he laughed at him, it is estimated that the three souls will be hooked away from two souls, how can he still distinguish the southeast and northwest? He said with a smile: "Brother Fairy, it's really unfortunate, little brother, I am also of great use!" I'm determined to get this shipment! Never give in! β
The young man in red was obviously taken aback when he heard An Ran's answer, and asked strangely, "Can't you really give up for me?" β
For you? Are you the Queen Mother or the Jade Emperor? This kid is so narcissistic! An Youran rolled her eyes angrily, "Yes, I'm not interested in you!" So you can't give up, you died this heart as soon as possible! β
Too lazy to waste any more time, An leisurely shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, whether you sell it or not, don't waste time here!" How much money to say, packed it for me and shipped it to the post station! β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Sell, sell, a total of two thousand taels of gold!" β
When the young man in red heard this, he was anxious, grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I placed an order for this yarn at the same time as him, how can you only sell him?" His eyes were sad and pitiful, and he couldn't be worried.
An Youran looked at the young man in red with disdain, and said secretly in his heart: This person is really undisciplined, and he can discharge electricity to both men and women! The skin is thick enough, and the IQ is too low! You should also pick a similar one when you choose the object of temptation, is it useful for an old man who is over half a hundred years old to pretend to be Sister Lin!?
But the reality is cruel, An Youran never expected that under the effect of the mourning strategy of the young man in red, the shopkeeper actually changed his mind and made the decision to sell five horses each.
An Youran naturally had anger in her heart, but she was helpless. I had to go to other cloth villages to get together the number of cloud wing yarn needed, but the price of this cloud wing yarn was too high, and the general cloth village did not dare to stock up. Therefore, the legs that walked straight were weak, and the soles of the feet were blistered, and finally ten horses were collected.
I was about to go back to the post station to meet with the water, but I was blocked by a large group of people watching the excitement and couldn't move forward. He had to get up and squeeze forward, and as soon as he jumped to the front, he was startled by a loud shout: I saw several big men in the middle of a man, and the big man led by him was angry and scolded: "Look at your dog-like appearance, you dare to come to the master's territory to eat white food, and you don't inquire, what did you do before?!" What you do is a headless business......"
An Youran had no intention of meddling, and just wanted to lift his feet and leave, but changed his mind after hearing the voice of the man who was surrounded.
It's really a narrow road! ββIt turned out that the man who was surrounded was the young man in red who had a dispute with him in Jinluozhuang!
This is called self-destruction if you do many acts of injustice! An leisurely hugged his arms and looked at the embarrassed appearance of the young man in red with a spring breeze on his face.
His originally calm face had been replaced by an anxious look, "I really don't eat white food, somehow I can't find my money bag!" The young man in red hurriedly defended, "If you let me go, I'll go back and get the money, and then give it to you?" β
Is this guy stupid?! An Youran couldn't help but laugh dumbly, if you let someone else let you go back to get the money, the ghost will do it! In case you run away, where do they go to find you!?
Sure enough, the man at the head also shouted at the same time: "Do you think I am a three-year-old yellow-mouthed child?" He used such absurd words to deceive the master! If I don't beat you all over the ground today, you won't have a long memory! After that, he raised his punching bag and was about to hit the young man in red.
Seeing that his fist was about to fall on the body of the young man in red, An leisurely held his breath nervously, opened his eyes wide in excitement, and was about to record this historic moment, but unexpectedly, the young man in red roared and stretched out his hand in the direction where he was!
"Brother! Why didn't you come until now? The young man in red stumbled in front of An Youran, and a bear hug hugged him, "You see that people have misunderstood me!" Hurry up and help me pay for the meal! β
Just when An leisurely watched all this happening in front of her in a daze, she didn't have time to react. The big man led by him was excited, as if he had found an organization, and picked him up and said loudly: "Hurry up and pay me your brother's money, don't delay my uncle and me in business!" Otherwise, I want you two brothers to look good today! β
The gong-like voice was extremely penetrating, and it immediately pulled An Youran back to reality, and he was horrified to find that the eyes of all the people were focused on him! What's going on!? I opened my mouth and just wanted to shout: I was wronged! was covered by the young man in red with one hand.
The young man in red took advantage of the chaos to pull him aside, and whispered in An Youran's ear: "You helped me pay the money, and I will thank you!" β
"How do you thank you? You can't even afford to pay for your own meals! An Youran was shocked: "Don't you want to make a promise?" I don't like you like this! We are all men and we will not be happy! β
The man in red was full of black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously: "I'm not so miserable that I want to repay the money for a meal!" β
"And how do you thank me?" An Youran's eyes blinked, "Let's talk about the conditions first!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to my rescue! β
"Are you threatening me?" The young man in red smiled confidently: "When I call you brother, they all regard you as my brother, and just now they also said that if they can't come up with the money, they will make our 'two brothers' look good!" β
"Are you mean?" An smiled leisurely like a fox, "Don't forget, from the beginning, I haven't said a word to them!" Naturally, I can pretend to be deaf and dumb and make them think you're playing tricks on them! β
"Tricky, tricky!" The young man in red praised.
"Shameless, shameless," An leisurely boasted.
"I don't have any money now, you leave your address, and I will return it to the house with interest." The young man in red said.
"There are too many variables to return in the future." An Youran's face was not good: "How about you give me a cloud wing yarn back?" β
"Are you taking advantage of the fire?" The eyes of the young man in red narrowed.
"Fair trade, consensual thinking! See for yourself! An said leisurely with a fearless face.
The young man in red looked at An Youran, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, deal!" β
After paying the money, after watching the lively crowd disperse, the man in red took out a Yunyi yarn from his baggage and handed it to An Youran, "This is the agreed reward, take it!" β
An leisurely looked at the Yunyi yarn handed over, thought about it but didn't answer: "Why didn't you use Yunyi yarn to pay for the meal just now?" β
The young man in red turned around, and the lights in the distance outlined his beautiful silhouette: "Because I am really useful for this cloud wing veil!" β
"Then why did you agree to give me the yarn?" An asked leisurely.
"This is the reward, and people cannot be untrustworthy." He replied calmly.
An Youran didn't speak, only silently opposite the young man in red. After a while, he stuffed the Yunyi yarn back into the arms of the young man in red and said, "Although your return gift is good, I don't have the habit of taking people's favor, so you can take it back." β
Without waiting for the young man in red to refuse, he took out a light blue plain pattern money bag from his arms and put it in his hand: "There are fifty taels of silver tattooed here, when I personally borrow yours." Be careful next time you go out, don't lose your money bag again and be caught a good lesson. β
The young man in red looked at him, his eyes burning, and after a long while, he said, "My name is Luo Han, what is your name?" β
An leisurely scratched her head and said, "Xiao An! β
