Chapter 13: Strange Ghost City
"Eleven, you send more people to protect your mother. The old man of Bingcheng stared at her again, he could do something at any time, and I still didn't feel at ease......
"Okay, I'll let you know."
Shang Jin saw the "ghost city" written on the city gate in front of him, turned his head to Liu Shiyi beside him and said, "It's not too early, let's find an inn in the city today to spend the night." ”
"Yes."
Shang Jin's hand had just attached the handle of the city gate, only to hear a "squeak", and the door opened automatically. In an instant, a cool breeze rushed in front of you, and the air was wet and wet, with an uncomfortable coldness. Liu Shiyi couldn't help but shudder: "No matter what, it's already April now, and there are still places where it's cold like this?" The yin qi is quite heavy, and it is strange that people should respond to it......" There was a sudden heavy hit on his head, he screamed in pain, and glared at Shang Jin:
"Childe, why are you beating me?"
"Don't think about these strange things all day long, we have just come out of the snow-capped mountains, and the surrounding terrain is almost the same, is it normal to be cold? Come on in, I'm hungry and need to hurry up and eat. ”
"Yes, yes......" he pouted, and followed him into the city gate.
Although Shang Jin said this, he always felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't tell where it was. After the two of them fully stepped into the city, they saw the busy figures around them, and gradually let go of the tense heartstrings.
They walked down the street, step by step, going on with what they were doing as if no one was around, but in a turn they talked in a very low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Alas, old man, tell me how long it has been since we have seen a new face. This time I broke in by myself, haha interesting, things got fun......"
"Well, don't say it, his appearance is also extremely handsome, it seems to be the type that the city lord likes, I don't know how long this distinguished guest can stay this time."
"Hmm...... You smell it, there's a special smell on him, ah...... I'm in a better mood. Let's give the little baby more to eat today, as soon as they come, the city lord will be happy, maybe we will have to offer food again, but I can't starve my little baby. ”
"Go ahead, I'll take care of it here, and see it's screaming with hunger."
"This uncle, where is the best restaurant in the city?"
The man stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes to look at Shang Jin, and suddenly raised a strange smile: "This son, you, are you from outside." It's really the right place, let me tell you, the most famous restaurant in the hidden city, beautiful women like clouds, everything, just turn right at the fork in front. ”
"Thank you, uncle."
"Listen, that person has spoken!"
"I heard it, I spoke."
"He's really ...... Cute tight. ”
"Hmm...... Also brave and tight. ”
"Shhh
From the moment Shang Jin spoke to the uncle, he felt that thousands of pairs of eyes were staring directly at him, and he felt that the stabbing was on his back, which was extremely uncomfortable. But when he looked back, there was nothing, everyone was doing their own things, and they didn't glance at him. He wondered: Could it be that he was too sensitive and hallucinating?
"Childe...... The people here are strange, they seem to be working, but they are not very skilled. The one who held the child and covered the child's entire head in the quilt, isn't this going to be killed alive?? Also, when I first came in, I saw the bean grinder grinding with a bowl of beans, and after all this time, she was still grinding! And those beans are the same as those that have never been polished...... Liu Shiyi approached Shang Jin and said quietly.
"I've noticed it too, and you're keeping an eye out for yourself. If the signs are wrong, we'll leave. Shang Jin lowered his voice and whispered.
"Condensation?? Is this true......" Mu Changfeng's voice trembled with joy, turned his head, and looked into Mu Ningjiu's eyes, which were also blue. The family Ning is looking for...... Is that them?
"Brother, in the future, I have to bother you to take me to familiarize myself with the inside and outside of this phantom city." Mu Ningjiu winked mischievously at Mu Changfeng and smiled extremely happily.
"That's natural." He paused, "Ningning, what... Don't call me brother, I'm not much younger than you, and I always take advantage of me......" He pouted and complained.
"Feng'er, you're two years younger than Jiu'er, shouldn't you call Sister Sheng?" Mousse made a faint voice on the side. Seeing that Mu Changfeng was silent, he pinched his arm and said:
"Do you call it? Well?! If you don't call me..."
"Ahhh It hurts, it hurts, I call, can't I call it......" Mu Changfeng covered his hot arm and surrendered aggrievedly.
"Hmm...... Sister. He squirmed for a long time before he let out a sound, lighter than a mosquito call.
"Did you just scream? It's too light, it's still not a man, how can you still swallow it when you call someone...... Reshout! ”
"Sister!"
"Hey, my good brother." Mu Ningjiu looked at Mu Changfeng's originally majestic appearance, and when he saw his father, he wilted, it was really interesting...... Her smile seemed to overflow the corners of her eyes.
"I've told him hundreds of times that people of unknown origin shouldn't be gullible! Haven't you learned the lesson of what Gong'e pretended to be a princess to sneak in last time? This year's little girl, there are more people who want to climb high branches, he is really too kind-hearted. What about people? Where is the person, see if I can't clean her up! A crisp and melodious female voice suddenly sounded, although with a hint of anger, but it was still not difficult to hear the mellow and beautiful timbre. Mu Ningjiu turned her head and quietly looked at the woman wearing a black robe and a white long skirt. It's a ...... on the portrait of a psychedelic forest She recognized the woman's appearance at a glance. The real person is more beautiful than the portrait. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of blue eyes with thin anger seem to be shining with flowing sunlight, which is particularly delicate and beautiful. The tear mole under the eyelid, like God's ink embellishment, the most delicate stroke, inexplicably added a weak beauty to her, which was endearing.
Chapter 5 Starry Sky Projection
Mu Si was about to stop her, but she had already run to Mu Ningjiu. Looking intently at that face, the rebuke that had rushed to his lips was suddenly swallowed back. Suddenly, there was silence in the hall, and only the woman's disturbed snort could be heard due to excitement.
It's too similar...... It's so similar! Even though she was just a baby when she was last seen, her instincts weren't wrong...... Is it her treasure, has she found her home? The nose was sore, and tears slipped irrepressibly out of the eyes. She felt the wet tears on her face in a daze, and took a deep breath: when her baby was taken captive, she was just a small girl, and when she heard the news that night, she fainted from crying. Over the years, neither they nor the people in the palace dared to mention her again, because the heart-rending pain of losing a child could really drive a normal person crazy. She didn't want to be tormented by an illusory hope after so much despair.
She suppressed her choked voice: "You guys, go down first." ”
"Yes."
When the subordinates retreated, her full lips looked a little pale, and with a glimmer of hope at the end of despair in her eyes, she said in a trembling voice:
"You, no... My baby... Right? Yes? ”
In a word, it seemed that all her strength had been exhausted, and she suddenly did not have the courage to listen to the girl's answer. Tears wash away old tears and add new ones. She choked up and couldn't say anything else.
"Mother......
In her mind, a "boom" cut off all her gushing thoughts. She looked at Mu Ningjiu opposite blankly, and just stared blankly. The heartstrings that had experienced the ups and downs suddenly relaxed, her body shook, and Mu Ningjiu saw the situation, hurriedly rushed over, and hugged her tightly with his hands.
"Are you okay......" The woman's worried voice sounded in her ears, and Claire stroked Mu Ningjiu's blonde hair: "It's okay...... It's just despair, and I can't take it anymore. Bao'er, call my mother again, my mother wants to hear it. ”
"Mother, mother, mother......" Mu Ningjiu laughed, tears of joy in her eyes blurred her eyes.
Mother's embrace, there is no unsuitable strangeness in imagination, the faint fragrance of roses spreads to the tip of the nose, extremely warm, like a soft and light cotton cloud, soft, but not very real. Tears were falling as she sniffed and rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
"Claire, this is Mu Ning Jiu, our Jiu'er." Mousse was already red-eyed on the side, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Mu Ningjiu......" her hand slowly stroked Mu Ningjiu's back and muttered.
Mu Ning Jiu...... Jiu'er... It's a good name, it's good... Jiu'er, in a blink of an eye, is already so old...... Have you ever suffered hardship? She then replied to herself, "I must have suffered a lot...... Outside, it must be very lonely, right? I'm tired, I don't even have a hug to lean on..."She muttered, the corners of her mouth flushed with bitterness, and tears couldn't stop falling.
"Mother, don't blame yourself, Jiu'er is fine, really. None of this is a problem, Jiu'er doesn't blame you, don't be sad. ”
"Hmm...... It's good to come back, it's good to come back, my mother and your father swear that they will never lose you again. ”
A touch of purple haze stains the layers of cirrus clouds, surging and rolling, gradually moving towards the sky, like a very dynamic Chinese painting. The golden sunlight is splashing, and the sparkling river surface is boundless, like jumping thousands of small silverfish, smart and vast. A brown wooden pontoon leads to a hut, decorated with large blue-leaved grasses, with only a small window exposed.
"Ningning, huh, do you see the hut across the bridge? It's yours from now on. Mu Changfeng pointed to the other side of the river, and turned his head to Mu Ning Jiudao.
"Mine alone?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, one for my father and mother, one for each of you and me, this is all inherited from our ancestors. This building has the best scenery around you, and it's the most secluded! I've had to talk to my mother several times, and she didn't give me anything she wanted, so she left it for you. ”
