Chapter 37: Encounter with Jianfang
I was walking on the way to Chaoge, and a few days later, I saw several people in tattered clothes sitting on the side of the road resting. When they saw me, they immediately stood up and said hello to me.
I watched them warily and without words.
They looked at me with unkind faces, and one of them also looked at me, studied for a long time, sighed, and said, "The world is hard, don't embarrass him." Remember, we're here to deal with thieves, not strangers. ”
"Just because he's a stranger, maybe he's a thief?" said one of the red-faced men in a gruff voice.
"I'm not a thief, please respect yourself!" I said coldly.
"We will not approve of you unless you go to Chaoge and see the king or the government. The red-faced man said seriously.
"I'll go now, but I don't know how to go to Chaoge yet?" I asked modestly, though angry.
"I can take you to Chaoge, meet King Wucheng of the official mansion, and you have to give me some benefits. The woman smiled as she spoke, and then she stared into my eyes.
I said, "If there is any benefit, I will give you some of it." ”
"Okay! I'll walk with you!"
We walked all the way, at first I followed her, and then we walked side by side, and we were very friendly along the way.
This woman is very polite and talks a lot. She's telling her own story, the kind of story that is infectious.
My name is Jianfang, and I am not humble enough to walk the rivers and lakes. I don't know where I came from? I can remember when I was collecting pollen in the sea of flowers in southern Xinjiang and living a carefree life. Suddenly, one day, a group of people in ragged clothes like just before came over. If there's anything bright on them, it's their weapons. When they came to the sea of flowers, they were tired and lay there to rest. One of the young men stepped out of the crowd and collected pollen in a sea of flowers.
I was so happy to see him! I gave him the pollen I had collected. He thanked me! I felt that he had a good character, and he had no bad intentions, so I followed him. I was very uncomfortable, I couldn't understand him, I couldn't speak, I couldn't help him, I just followed him around. Later, when I was thirsty, I ran to the hidden spring of the sea of flowers to drink water, and he watched me happily draw water.
We drank the water and came back with water and pollen, and when we came to the place where they had just assembled, we found that their people had been killed, and there was no sign of resistance, the kind that had been killed in their sleep. I watched him cry bitterly, and I felt a little inexplicable!
Later, he stayed, accompanied me to collect pollen all day long, and then refined the elixir, and gave me the elixir he refined, I felt that my body was growing and my strength was increasing. He also taught me to learn to write and speak, I knew that his surname was Ran, his name was Ran You, and he said that I was his partner and would be his bride in the future.
I was also curious to hear this, there are so many people with the same name, and then continued to listen to her own story.
One day, Ran You said he was going home. I asked why I didn't go back before, but now I went back.
Ran You said that his hometown had been unsealed. I didn't understand, but I followed him home.
After we got home, I saw that my home was deserted, I saw him crying, watching him worship his ancestors, I saw that his ancestor was a bare-chested person, my face was red when I saw it, I felt that my breasts were too small, I felt inferior, I felt that I didn't lie to Ran You, and I couldn't be Ran You's bride!
In order to respect me, the people of Ran You's tribe did not judge people by their appearance, but they still held a marriage ceremony for us, and I was very conflicted! What am I? I am their recognized savior, and I have saved the life of their family master. I know for myself, I'm not, I'm just a naughty girl, a girl collecting pollen in a sea of flowers, and nothing else.
In the cave, my body and mind trembled, and when he lifted my red embroidered turban, my face was so pale and helpless, and I turned my head to look at my own white face in the silver mirror, and tears were rolling down my face like beads. My hands covered my flat chest and stood up calmly, which can be regarded as a return gift to my husband.
Ran You hugged me into his arms, kissed my tears, and said in a low voice: "Don't feel bad, we are all kind people, we won't hurt you, I will wait until you need me to see you in the season." "Say it, give me a jade pendant, turn around and leave. That night, I played with the jade pendant, which exuded a purple-red brilliance, which made my heart warm.
The next morning, I woke up to the soft call of his maid, and when I came out to meet the maid, I informed Ran You that he was gone.
The maid walked away nervously, at first slowly, and then when it was far away, she started to run. After a while, there were many masters outside the courtyard, and it was definitely aimed at me. I don't have a bottom in my heart, is it because they don't like me anymore?
I was crying nervously in my room, who was Ran? Did it hurt me? I was so anxious that I walked around the room.
Then a man came in, he was the patriarch, and when he saw me, he said, "Girl, are you better?"
"I'm fine, what's wrong with you?" I asked them in surprise.
"I wonder if you have any misunderstanding, or if you have something to hide from us, say it and we will help you solve it. The patriarch said, looking at me with sincerity on his face.
I'm simple by nature. said Ran You's words: "Don't feel bad, we are all kind people, we won't hurt you, I'll wait until you need me to see you in the season." ”
"Oh!" I understood, "give the young lady a light meal!" the patriarch instructed the maid outside and took the people away. It was quiet outside.
I had breakfast, came outside, and saw a person kneeling on the steps, although I knew that it was the domestic helper who ran to report the news in the morning, in order to be sure, I still asked the domestic helper next to me: "Who is she?"
"She's the one who talked nonsense in the morning. The maid said.
My curiosity came and I asked them, "What is she talking about me?"
They all said no more, and there was silence.
I asked the maid who was kneeling, "What did you tell me in the morning?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Everyone in the house knows that you are a goblin and says that you will eat people. I didn't see the host in the morning, so I thought I was eaten by you......"
"Ridiculous! How am I a goblin?" I don't know if I'm a goblin.
"If you don't have parents, you're a goblin!"
The young lady's parents were killed by the rebels. The maid next to me reprimanded sharply.
"Don't blame her, she was also blinded by rumors, you are loyal to your master, don't talk nonsense in the future. Get up, and take care of the courtyard work later. ”
"Yes, young lady. "Say it and stand aside.
The gate of Chaoge is towering into the sky and magnificent. I looked at the city gate and thought that I would need an address to find her when I entered the city, so I asked where her home was.
Jianfang said: "My house is in the north of the pharmacy, so it's easy to find. You don't need my help anymore?"
"I'll go find someone myself. ”
Jianfang said: "I'll take you to see King Wucheng!"
We came to the palace of King Wucheng and met King Wucheng.
King Wu Cheng said: "Jianfang's life experience is very sympathetic, you can't bully her!"
I said, "I obey the teachings of the prince and respect her absolutely." ”
King Wu Cheng said: "You are here, and you must complete a task for Chaoge, that is, to meet the Four Seas God Capture Shadowless Tracking issued by the Eight Directions Mission." ”
I said I would get the job done.
Jianfang said with a smile: "The benefits are divided in half. ”
I said, "Yes." "I thought to myself, if you don't know the place well, it's good to have someone with you, so you won't get lost.
