Returning to Hangzhou City, Quan Ying has a lot of emotion. She has lived here for a long time, compared to Shenglong Mountain and Bailu Cave, Hangzhou can undoubtedly give her a sense of hometown, but when she stayed here to recuperate, her heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness, always thinking about how to do a great career in the future, how to make the dragon clan famous in the world, and revive the glory of the past, so during that time, she never enjoyed the peaceful beauty of life, and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Now I am strolling through the streets of the city again, looking at the pedestrians on both sides with fluttering sleeves and carrying oil-paper umbrellas of local specialties; traditional houses with black tiles and white walls, and colorful flags hanging from the shops; the sounds I hear when walking on the street are the shouting and clamor of the gambling house and the dripping of the remnants of the rain over the sky; especially the embers and red glow of the sunset, reflecting the green weeping poplars planted on the side of the street, the swaying and elegant willows and green green, dissolving in the breeze with the smell of rain, making the long-lost returnees feel the spirit.

"Oh, it feels good, it's very comfortable to be blown by such a wind!"

Lancelot, who revisited the old place, seemed to be in good spirits. Compared with the thousand-year-old buildings of Reynes, Hangzhou's literary style has a flavor close to nature, especially the elegance of green willow trees planted all over the long street, which makes Lancelot greatly appreciate.

"Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, West Lake singing and dancing, when will the song and dance be closed...... It's a thriving city that's been in business for thousands of years, and it's no wonder you'll love it because of its rich culture and beautiful scenery. Luckily, you didn't say anything like you had to knock this place down, and that would be a bad sight. ”

Izumi Sakura and Lancelot walked side by side, both of them were tall, standing in the crowd was already conspicuous, and when Izumi Sakura left the airship, she did not deliberately comb her makeup to cover her face, her alluring fairy posture was like a star falling into the dust, causing the people around to be amazed, from can't help but look at it, to being stupid in the local area as if it was electrocuted, and was knocked down by the people next to her, setting off a small commotion one after another.

"Who's that beauty?"

"People like flowers, it's so beautiful, why haven't you seen it before?"

"Look at the thin waist and the peugeot face, what a beauty without a match...... No, I think I've seen her before, and I have an impression of the round curve of that ass, but that face ......."

Similar whispers kept coming into Izumi Sakura's ears, and she smiled slightly, just pulling Lancelot's arm a little tighter, leaning towards his majestic body, and envious of the idlers next to her.

It is absolutely impossible that there will be any change in the face of the past and the present. But here before, Izumi Sakura's face and attitude were always polite and almost indifferent, and despite the smile on her face, everyone could feel the deliberately separated chasm, and her pale snow face and occasional coughing voice at that time also made people only admire her beauty from a distance, but it was difficult to get close.

Guanghan Fengzi can fall into the city, poor Bingqiong twenty spring.

Ice Ridge Qionghua, the cold moon in the sky, this is people's impression of her before, but now the spring cherry has changed, and the pace of walking side by side with Lancelot makes her seem full of confidence, and the joyful smile that blooms between her lips seems to be a little out of grace, but it makes people feel sweet and amiable, and even can feel the heartfelt happiness.

is such a change that the local villagers dare not make a mistake and can't believe that this is the cold beauty who has been missing for a few years. Seeing their puzzled expressions, Izumi Sakura naturally understood the reason, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, but smiled silently, hoping to enjoy one more moment of happiness walking hand in hand.

However, in the gossip of the onlookers on both sides, there were some words that should not have appeared.

"This beautiful girl is really exciting, I don't know which brothel she is a fan of, it's so beautiful......"

The fan head is a prostitute, hearing the metaphor of a ruffian, Izumi Sakura naturally didn't like it, but the man next to her couldn't describe the mood with a word of dislike.

Before Izumi Sakura could react, her whole body was driven by Lancelot, and she spun out like a hurricane, followed by a bang, and when she came back to her senses, she had been taken by Lancelot to the wall, and one of his arms stretched out, blasting most of the wall, and on the ground was a man foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolling, and he was already stunned by the power of Lancelot's blow to the wall.

The heavy blow was like thunder, and the people nearby fled in a hurry, and Izumi Sakura looked at the man who had fainted on the ground, and was smiling bitterly, but found that Lancelot's movements were stiff, as if something was wrong. Looking in the direction of his gaze, he saw that the half-blown earthen wall, and the intact end of the wall, there were some portraits, which seemed to be a red wall specially posted with bounty notices.

Some of the bounty notices posted on the red wall look new, while others look yellowed, apparently old criminals who have not been taken. The notice that Lancelot was looking at was a half-tattered old poster, the text seemed blurry, but the felon, no matter how you looked at it, looked like a big fluffy bear.

(Ahh......h ）

Others probably won't feel anything when they see this arrest document, but Izumi Sakura still remembers this image vividly. It was the arrest document drawn by the magistrate when Lancelot and Xiaocao were in Hangzhou, and the drawing was obviously misled in some way, so this messy image was drawn, but the real body of the robber in the painting was Lancelot.

"Hmm, I'm interested in this picture...... I seem to be a little impressed......"

Lancelot said vaguely, and suddenly his body shook violently, and he leaned against the wall with one hand, and his face became very ugly.

"What's wrong?"

"My head is starting to hurt, ah...... It hurts...... Something seems to be going to happen......"

"Head, headache?"

Quan Ying was taken aback, Hua Bian Que's warning flashed in his mind, this is not a problem that can be dealt with calmly, if Lancelot's old illness relapses, and he faints again, and he faints for a few months, I am afraid that when he wakes up, Reins will be destroyed.

There must be a reason for the incident, and if the reason for the headache is because of the arrest portrait, then the top priority is to divert his attention......

"Ah, my stomach hurts!"

With a cry of pain, Izumi Sakura half-squatted down, holding her lower abdomen with her right hand, looking very painful. Of course, this reaction frightened Lancelot, and he quickly dropped his attention from the arrest document and turned his attention to his wife beside him.

"I—my stomach hurts so much...... I don't know what's wrong?"

Izumi Sakura frowned tightly, and used internal force to force out the cold sweat on her forehead, but her heart was full of ups and downs, praying that her husband would not find out about her disguise.

"It's so good, why does my stomach suddenly hurt?"

"I ...... I don't know, maybe it's because of the cold, or maybe it's ...... Ah, or maybe because I'm so hungry, didn't you say you were going to eat? Hurry up, I'm so hungry I can't stand it, and if I drag it any longer, I can eat two elephants in one bite. ”

"Can you transform into a big snake? Otherwise, how can you eat an elephant in one bite? Also, how can your stomach suddenly be so hungry that it hurts?"

"Leave it alone, let's go eat!"

Fearing the recurrence of Lancelot's old illness, Izumi Sakura desperately tried to get her husband out of the place, but Lancelot's reaction was even more unexpected. Hearing that his wife was unwell, his expression was as nervous as if he was about to charge, and he made a lightning move, picked up Izumi Sakura, and left the scene as if flying in Izumi Sakura's exclamation.

The two of them walked in a hurry, and after their backs disappeared, some passers-by who were hiding nearby came out again, and there was a lot of discussion, but this time what they discussed was not the stunning beauty of Izumi Sakura, but another terrifying thing.

"Hey, did you hear that? That big beauty just said that she could swallow two elephants in one bite!"

"It's good, it's terrible......"

"Sure enough, it's a beauty fairy, this is definitely not the sick beauty lady we used to be. ”

"Swallow the elephant in one bite, she doesn't know what kind of monster it is......"

"Report to the official, report to the official, this must be reported to the official quickly!"

Just when Quan Ying was completely out of condition, some terrifying rumors began to spread rapidly in the city of Hangzhou.

※※※

On the edge of the West Lake, in addition to the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, there are also many wine shops and restaurants built around the lake, which is convenient for guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery while cooking tea and wine. One of the newly opened restaurants, "Romance of the Sichuan Kingdom", which sells the special ethnic cuisine of the free city, with a dazzling red flag hanging at the door, is the most eye-catching in a row of restaurants.

At that time, it was the peak period of business, when the most customers, because the cold wind in December was quite freezing, at the request of the guests, the door had already been closed, and several windows were also put down bead curtains.

"Doctor, Doctor, bring the food!"

“...... This is a good man, you are in the wrong place, this is a restaurant, not a medical hall!"

"Oh, I'm mistaken, so let's change it...... My wife is very hungry, and if you don't bring her a good dish within a quarter of an hour, and she is hungry, I will ransack your shop! Set fire to your counter! I won't let go of the kitchen!"

A reckless man who looks very vicious, with a knife at his waist, holding a fairy-like beauty in his arms, delicate and powerless moving appearance, looks like he was being held hostage, just looking at the soft and lovely fairy face, it does make people have the heart to rescue, but when they heard that the beast-like reckless man turned out to be robbing for her, everyone dispelled the idea of pity and cherishing the jade.

After more than a year of the sublimation of the momentum of the emperor's life, Lancelot's ordinary crime shouting is also full of extraordinary domineering, especially when the roar of real energy, like the thunder of the nine heavens, it is terrifying, all the customers in the store hid under the table and trembled, and the shopkeeper even ran to the front of the pair of mandarin duck thieves with a rolling belt, knocking on the ground and kowtowing.

"Oh, Uncle thief, spare the villain's shop!"

The situation was very tense for a while, and Lancelot looked at the shopkeeper who was kneeling and begging for mercy, wondering if he had said the wrong thing to order, and wondering why he had succumbed so quickly before he even drew his sword this time.

"Hmm...... The people in this place are so kind...... Then I'll take this city by the way......"

"Don't make a fuss!"

The one who hurriedly stopped Lancelot was Izumi Sakura, who was made red-faced and struggling. Even if he becomes the lord of a country, he still does not change the occupational disease of bandits, which may be regarded as the true character of the hegemon...... At least that's how Izumi Sakura explained her husband's behavior, not to mention that the reason why he was panicked was for himself, and of course the standard should be a little more lenient.

Izumi Sakura took out the gold coin from her bosom and told the owner that her husband had a brain disease and asked him not to take it seriously, and at the same time paid for the meal for the guests in the restaurant. Sven's polite attitude and generous gesture resolved the commotion, and the owner arranged a window position for their husband and wife, and the two officially ordered.

"Hey, mother-in-law, don't just tell people that your husband is sick in the head!"

After ordering two pasta-based dishes, Lancelot frowned at his beautiful wife and vented his sullenness, Izumi Sakura naturally smiled and said that she would not deal with him on this issue, but just poured him a cup of tea, took out a fragrant wood comb from his arms, and helped him comb his loose hair, and her heart was full of tenderness.

The staff of the entire restaurant wished they had sent the two plague gods away as soon as possible, and the food arrived quickly, but Izumi Sakura's attention went beyond the table and looked at the window next to her.

(Really...... Why didn't you recognize it now...... What a shame...... ）

Quan Ying has lived in seclusion in Hangzhou for many years, and is familiar with the street scenery here, but the bustling city has always changed very quickly, and she has not returned for several years, not only the shops and restaurants have changed greatly, but even the former residence where she lived was demolished.

(It's a pity that things are not people, what a pity there is...... There are a lot of memories of me and you. ）

Thinking like this, Izumi Sakura glanced softly at the man next to her, but Lancelot didn't realize it, just anxiously wanted his "hungry" wife to taste the hot noodles that had just been delivered.

"Eat quickly, aren't you very hungry? Don't look at the two small bowls of noodles, this is a famous dish in Siam City, when I was in Siam City...... Hey, where are you looking?"

Lancelot followed Izumi's gaze and looked at the dilapidated building, and with a simple glance, he had a strong reaction.

"That'...... It's ...... there."

The meaningful memories of Izumi Sakura also have the same meaning for Lancelot, seeing that his pupils were wide open, and he looked like he was about to cry out for a headache, so Izumi Sakura had to respond urgently and immediately pointed to the right.

"Look, my second senior brother is here! he's wearing a nice coat!"

"What? The Iron-Faced Ladyboy wears a floral coat, so arrogant!, where?"

As soon as he heard the name of his old enemy, Lancelot looked nervous, looked to the right with angry eyebrows, hurriedly left the Izumi Sakura here, quickly poured two small bowls of hot noodles on the table into one bowl, swallowed the dates in one gulp, and drank a cup of hot tea, when Lancelot turned his head back in confusion, the dishes on the table were already clean, leaving no trace.

"Ahh......h

"I was hungry, so I just ate it in one bite. Let's get out of here, I always feel that it's so windy here, and I get a headache when I sit for a long time......"

"It's not a problem to leave, but ...... You can actually take a bite...... Hmm, doesn't your stomach feel it?"

Not only Lancelot, but all the customers in the whole store looked at this big beauty with surprised eyes, because the spicy dish "Puliqi Nuluan" from Siam City is the signature dish of this restaurant to ensure absolute authenticity, known as the title of "three bowls are not enough", this Xianzi beauty swallowed two bowls in one breath, her face did not change, and her spicy skills were good.

"Bang Bang Bang

"Wow~~"

The howl mixed with the applause was not particularly harsh, because as soon as the cry came out, it turned into a raging cyan flame, which sprayed straight up to the ceiling, burning a large black hole, and for a while the noise resumed, and the stunning beauty hid her face and rushed out of the door, followed by the fierce and vicious man who seemed to be dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the owner, who was busy selling the restaurant's food, rushed to explain the advantages of the product to everyone, despite the burning ceiling.

"Although Puliqinuluan is spicy, not everyone can breathe fire, and the last record holder was the record set by His Majesty King Reins in Siam City in the current restaurant, so after that, there was a rumor that eating this dish to breathe fire is a proof of the king!"

This statement has been heard by everyone before, it is too much to wear, but this time it is a little different, the fierce and reckless man who has rushed out of the door, suddenly a figure, appeared in front of the shopkeeper, the tower-like male body, but the movement is extremely fast, put a gold coin in the boss's hand, as a tip, as a very moved to say thank you, and then disappeared again.

Inexplicably got a heavy tip, the shopkeeper was stunned, and there was a lot of noise on the other side, a pair of uniformed officials with knives rushed in, and shouted and asked as soon as they entered.

"Good people, do not move! We are here to catch thieves...... No, we're here to catch goblins!"

"What kind of goblin is it? We don't have any goblins in the store!"

"Nonsense, someone obviously saw her coming here, it is said that she is a very charming-looking female demon, who can swallow two ...... in a row"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, what a beautiful beauty, I really didn't think it turned out to be a goblin, she swallowed two things in our store in one bite, and her face didn't change, it's really a good skill!"

"What?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, the officials looked at each other, and finally turned their heads to make a final confirmation.

"Boss, you're in the shop...... In Hangzhou, it's a conservation creature!"

"Huh, what elephant?"

※※※

Holding back the extreme spicy taste in her mouth, Izumi Sakura covered her mouth and ran wildly, just wanting to escape from the most crowded place first, so as not to be ugly and embarrassing, too ugly.

Running all the way, quickly through the crowd and the streets, only to hear Lancelot chasing after him, the two husbands and wives ran and chased, both at a fast speed, and in a blink of an eye they ran around the lakeside and got on the famous broken bridge.

"Don't run so fast, I'll bring water for you, don't be reckless if you can't eat it, you don't have an ether immortal body, what if you burn your throat?"

On top of the broken bridge, Lancelot handed the tea in his hand to Izumi Sakura, and he still laughed to himself.

"I can't imagine that the dragon body's holy armor is actually outside but not inside, next time you want to break the dragon body holy armor, you don't have to punch a few punches, just grab a few handfuls of chili peppers and stuff it in your mouth. ”

“...... I'm embarrassed to say that the last time I was punched in the stomach, my whole body seemed to be scattered, if you hit me like that again, I would die directly and disappear from your eyes, and I wouldn't have to be tortured like that by you every time. ”

Izumi Sakura said coldly with some annoyance, Lancelot was also ashamed to be reminded of the old story, and hurriedly apologized to his wife in a low voice, trying to make her happy.

It is already December now, although there is no accumulation of a large amount of residual snow on the bridge, making the famous broken bridge beautiful, but a light snow a few days ago, at this moment the bridge is still paved with a layer of light snow, as far as the eye can see, the lake surface is clear and waveless, calm like a crystal mirror, the West Lake in winter will be frozen, but the maintenance personnel sprinkle into the lake with coarse salt, so although the lake is cold, it has not been frozen for a long time.

This scene, Izumi Sakura has long been familiar with and accustomed to seeing it in the past, but the mood is different at the moment, and it seems that it has added a new feeling, but thinking of the embarrassed appearance just now, I just feel like sighing.

"By the way, there's one thing I never told you...... Lately I've been dreaming about this place......"

Lancelot smiled, and showed a very gentle and shy expression, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

"In my dreams, there was a very beautiful woman, I could never see her clearly, but it was definitely in this place. I looked at her beautiful figure from afar, and vowed in my heart that one day, I would definitely get ahead and become a man worthy of her...... Heh, I had this kind of dream for some reason, do you think I'm funny?"

After Lancelot finished speaking, he looked sideways at Izumi Sakura, who had always been clumsy in expressing emotions, but at the moment there was an impulse in his chest, maybe he could be like a love saint, occasionally showing an expression that fascinated women.

But the result is the opposite direction, Izumi Sakura's beautiful eyes widened, looking at her husband in horror, that kind of cautious and frightened look, people can't help but think of a tense cat.

"You...... Are you alright?"

"What's the matter with me? My head is so strong, even in the ice and snow, I'm still a macho man. ”

"You...... Is your head hurting?"

"Ah......h Hmm, my head hurts!"

Hearing Lancelot say that he had a headache again, Izumi Sakura showed an expression of "sure enough", and hurriedly took Lancelot's hand, saying that she had a silk silk that was blown away by the wind just now, and asked him to help pick it up.

"No problem, where? Ah? Blown into the lake? Why is the wind so strong? Ah? You want me to pick it up? No mistake? This kind of weather, here?"

"You said that your own head is so strong! Your beautiful and obedient wife, it is rare to ask your husband for something, you will not refuse, right?"

If you don't agree, you won't be at peace tonight, and you feel like Lancelot who has fallen into a trap, and her mind is getting more and more confused, but she knows that she has no choice, and jumps from the bridge, like a giant shark breaking through the waves into the sea, and jumps into the cold water of West Lake.

And Izumi Sakura, who was standing on the bridge and watched him disappear into the water, breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, which was already frightened.

"It's horrible to have headaches all day...... Let you go to the cold water and soak up, sober up, and see if you still have a headache......"

It is best to go ashore and go back to the airship directly after soaking in the water, which will save you a lot of trouble, and also save yourself from worrying in the city of Hangzhou, I have been afraid that he will have a headache and a coma, like a frightened bird, and panic all day long.

But ......

"What a stupid man...... It would be nice if we didn't come back in this situation. Me...... I don't know how many times I've looked forward to this day......"

In my dreams, I don't know how many times I have had such a situation, returning to Hangzhou with Lancelot, walking hand in hand on the familiar streets, pointing out the scenery, that is...... It's a very heartwarming scene.

I didn't think that the scene in the dream really had a chance to come true, but it ended up in such an embarrassing scene, and it was really sad to think about it.

"Maybe it's God's punishment, a woman like me doesn't deserve that kind of happiness......"

Standing on the red bricks of the broken bridge, Izumi Sakura looked at the clear water and lake, and her beautiful face added a layer of loneliness. In fact, I was so nervous just now, in addition to Hua Bian Que's warning, there was another fear, or perhaps, this fear was the real reason why I was so anxious.

Among the various memories that happened in Hangzhou, there are sweet memories, but there are also painful pains, especially the scene where he hit Lancelot with his own hands, which is often a nightmare that ends a beautiful dream. Thinking that Lancelot can remember everything in Hangzhou, he has both joy and anticipation, but that fear is also like a cold claw that clutches at his heart, making him breathless.

It was this worry that allowed him to interrupt his thoughts paradoxically when he heard Lancelot say that he had a headache and seemed to remember something, for fear that those forgotten hatreds would be remembered again, and destroy the small peace of the present.

Such clumsy, so ridiculous...... When did she become such an awkward stupid woman?

Immersed in a sentimental atmosphere, Izumi Sakura lost her soul for a while, sighed faintly, and when she came back to her senses, she wondered why her husband hadn't swam up for so long, and suddenly realized something strange around her.

"You...... You ......"

I don't know when, on the bleak and uninhabited broken bridge, it was actually crowded with people, looking at the dressed, there were officials and ordinary people, all of them looked panicked and cautious, cautiously approaching, seeing that they were back to their senses, there was a loud uproar.

"The witch has woken up! ”

"No, there are many people on our side, there is no need to be afraid, everyone will go together!"

"Catch the witch who swallowed the elephant!"

Looking around, the crowd is really angry, Quan Ying is half angry, half funny, she has been away from Hangzhou for a few years, how can this place become so "simple and simple"? A little thing can also cause such a commotion?

"Oh...... I see, no wonder he has been afraid to come up in the water...... It's a shame indeed!"

A smile bloomed on Izumi Sakura's lips, and she didn't say anything more at the moment, her eyes looked sideways from left to right, and then from right to left, and the people who came into contact with her eyes all showed a look of intoxication, and she sat on the edge of the bridge lightly, waved her hand to everyone, and her whole body leaned back, only to see the splash under the bridge, and the whole person had disappeared in the lake.

The commotion in Hangzhou ended in this form, although some people chased and searched in the water, but the man and woman were long gone, and the searchers naturally found nothing, and finally only became a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, the two protagonists who caused this commotion did not leave the city. As soon as Izumi Sakura fell into the water, she was put by a strong arm, and the two of them dived in the water together, leaving the troubled place.

Izumi Sakura's water nature is only ordinary, far less than Lancelot once secretly exercised, so everything is led by her husband, when she comes ashore from the water, it is already dark, and the scenery from far and near is not very clear, Lancelot takes Izumi Sakura's hand and walks silently, as if passing through several alleys, and finally stops in a courtyard.

"Here...... What is it?"

Izumi Sakura took a few breaths, and while using her luck to evaporate the water vapor on her body, she raised her head, but she was taken aback by the scene in front of her, and the whole person stayed on the spot.

At present, this is just a small temple that has been deserted, and it has probably been a long time since anyone cared about this dilapidated scene. However, Izumi Sakura will never forget the scene she once saw here.

In the courtyard, the dense branches and foliage of the seven plane trees have been intertwined into a huge green curtain in the form of strings, and 9,999 grass lanterns are arranged in a pattern of a pair of monkeys sleeping with their necks crossed, hanging from the vine net.

The moonlight that night, bleak and cold all this night, through the branches and leaves, the grass lantern picture is plated with a layer of silver-white luster, with the flickering starlight behind it, what is presented is a magnificent scenery that coexists with heaven and earth and resonates with the universe, and in an instant, it seems that the Milky Way is running endlessly.

The picture in her memory vaguely overlapped with the scene in front of her, and the soul stirring that she had once had turned into a warm current and sent it into Izumi Sakura's heart, making her eyes hot and moist, but when she concentrated again, the phantoms of those grass lamps were sent back to the past, and only a dilapidated small temple was left in front of her, and there was a helpless self, and her mind had to remember the past that had long been forgotten by everyone, meaningless and lonely......
