Chapter 56: The Ideal Country
Liu Zijin smiled dumbly, he shook his head, and shouted to the waiter, "Please have another peach blossom wine." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The waiter, who was wearing a short skirt and exposed a large snow-white patch of her breast, came over with a plate again, and while she served the wine, she said, "Robert, are you lying again?"
Robert defended himself dissatisfiedly: "How can I call it a liar? I just give the newcomer a little benefit in the process of bringing the guide." β
The waitress ignored him, and she deliberately exposed the ditch to Liu Zi again, and said with a smile: "Sir, my name is Nightingale." If you come here in the future, you can call me again, and as for this person, I advise you not to believe it. Let me guess what he said again this time, isn't it, 'I know you're new here?'"
Liu Zijin nodded, and the nightingale smiled: "Everyone here knows that you are new here, if you want to ask why, because there are not many people here, although this city is very big, but after living for a long time, everyone here can at least be familiar." β
β...... Isn't there a movement of people here?"
"Yes, ah...... I need to deliver the wine again, sorry, I'd better tell Robert to tell you the specifics, after all, he drank your wine for nothing. β
"The little nightingale is still so merciless. Robert took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and said slowly: "I know you have a lot of questions, and I can answer them for you one by one." People who have just come here always have a few questions, and those who are more stupid must have asked where this is, how he came here, and how to get back. This is Fuxiao City, and everyone has a different way of coming, as for how to get back, I don't know, and few people know, after all, no one wants to leave this heavenly kingdom on earth. β
"What if I want to go back?"
"Then you'll have to ask the city lord...... At first, everyone asked, and then they all stayed. β
β...... That's right. β
"And those who are smarter, like you, are looking for information as soon as they come, ready to blend in here without leaving a trace. There are also three questions: why are there so many people here, what do they do for a living, and where is the nearest city. β
Robert burped, he took another sip of his glass, and continued, "There are always people who get lost here, but few people remember how they got here. Most of the people here are like this, coming from different places and with different backgrounds, but the first people here found this place to escape the war and built this city. Hey, hey, it's obvious that the people here come from different places, right, and my personal guess is that every place has a door, and if you open that door, you can get here. As for the way to make ends meet, there is a craft that is of course the best, and if you are a fool who can only fight, and you can't survive with all your strength, go to the church, where free food will be distributed. Finally, where is the nearest city, who knows, no one has ever come from another city. I'm sure you too, somehow appeared outside the city. β
Of course, Liu Zijin didn't come to the city out of nowhere, he remembered everything before clearly, but he didn't break it, he asked, "What's the matter with the mountain outside the city? β
Robert shook his head and said, "I didn't feel the shaking today...... You were dizzy when you first came here, and if the mountains are shaking, how can you not feel it here?"
"yes, maybe so. β
Liu Zijin pushed the wine glass over and said with a smile: "I haven't touched this wine in a sip, in fact, I don't know how to drink at all, but I just ordered this glass in order not to be kicked out." I'll give you this cup too, but please tell me where the lord of the city is. β
"If you go to the center of the city, you'll see it. β
"Yes, thank you. β
Liu Zijin stood up and walked towards the door.
"Guest, are you leaving?"
It was the nightingale who suddenly stopped him.
"Yes, I still have things to do. β
"If you want to drink again, please order me?"
"Of course. β
"Goodbye, handsome sir. β
The nightingale threw a flying kiss, and Liu Zijin shook his head with a smile and walked towards the center of the city.
The moment he walked to the central square, Liu Zijin understood why Robert said that, right in front of his eyes, a magnificent white building stood there, this building just sat there, it made people feel a noble and elegant atmosphere, and there was not even a fence erected next to it, but a line was drawn as a boundary, which made people feel close.
Liu Zijin walked over, and just as he was about to knock on the door, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, but was actually a housekeeper, walked out, he bowed slightly and asked, "May I ask the guest, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Ah, I have just come to this city, and there are many things I don't understand, and the people in the city have told me that if I come to the lord of the city, these questions will be answered. β
"Yes, of course. It's just that the city lord is painting now, please let me go up first and ask for instructions before answering can you?"
"Yes, please. β
The butler quietly walked up the stairs, and after a while, he opened the door, bowed, and said, "Please." β
Liu Zijin followed the housekeeper into the house, the interior of the house is as elegant as the outside, on the wall of the hall, there are many paintings, these paintings are obviously not unrelated works of art, but in the storytelling, at the beginning of the painting is two lovely girls, and they obviously had an argument, and then the sky and the earth changed color, the flood was raging, but the two girls still continued to fight, and finally, one of the girls saw the other two sisters who supported each other, thought of the past, thought of themselves, so they took the initiative to admit defeat...... And the painting came to an abrupt end here.
"Are you looking at these paintings? These paintings were painted by the lord of the castle, and she seems to be telling a story, but I don't understand it very well. β
Liu Zijin had already guessed something in his heart, he nodded ambiguously and did not speak.
Walking up the stairs, through the hallway, to the deepest door, the butler stepped back: "She's inside." β
Liu Zijin pushed open the door and found a young girl painting in the slightly oblique sunset, this scene alone was enough to frame the picture frame and decorate, Liu Zijin was slightly stunned, not because she was dazzled, but thought of another equally beautiful girl, the same way she was painting.
Naturally, Liu Zijin felt close to this girl.
"Hello, excuse me. β
The girl looked up in shock, she lifted her skirt and saluted, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about how to draw the next stroke, and I suddenly forgot the time." β
"Why, it's my sudden visit that has disturbed your plans. β
The girl shook her head, she waved her hand, and the room was decorated from an elegant studio to a balcony with a small red table. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair behind Liu Zijin and said, "Please take a seat." β
This scene made Liu Zijin feel familiar again, he laughed unconsciously, sat on the chair and asked, "Hello, my name is Liu Zijin, I just came here and don't understand anything." β
"I am Medea, the lord of this city. You don't have to be too reserved, just call me Medea. You don't have to panic too much, everyone who just came here doesn't understand anything. β
"Yes, Medea. I don't have that much to figure out, I only have one question, how do I get back. β
"That's a good question, I do know how to leave. But there is a rule in our city that only people who want to go back after seven days in the city will tell him how to go back. β
"Oh, is there any magic in this city?"
Medea smiled with satisfaction, she went to the window, opened the curtains, the warm sunlight filled the room, she pointed out the window and said, "You see how pleasant the weather is here, how friendly the people are here, look at their faces, how happy." There is no fighting, no theft, no violence, there is only love and hope, is there no magic in such a city?"
"It's very attractive, of course, but it's not as good as your hometown. β
"You're right, you can call this your hometown. But it's useless to say anything now, you just have to stay here for seven days. There are a lot of empty rooms in this city, and you can stay in any place where there is no house number on them, and you can come back to me in seven days. β
Although Liu Zijin had a lot of things to ask, since the other party said so, he also nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll live for seven days." β
It just so happened that he was also curious about this place, and with these seven days, he was able to investigate a lot of things.
"You won't be disappointed. β
"Accept your good words, then I'll go first, and I won't bother you to continue painting. β
"Please. β
Medea leaned against the window, looked at Liu Zijin's slowly departing back, squinted her eyes and smiled: "What an interesting person, I don't say anything about hiding a belly...... Then I won't say it, hee-hee. β
Liu Zijin's back disappeared around the corner, and Medea walked back to the center of the room, snapped her fingers, and stood in front of the canvas again. In this painting, the little girl who conceded defeat was full of swords, and she looked at another little girl in disbelief, and the smile on the face of the other little girl was like a ghost.
Medea hummed a song and continued to add paintings: "I'm really looking forward to seven days later, can you help me get out of this predicament?"
As she spoke, Medea suddenly covered her face with her hands, and her cheeks covered under her white palms were crimson, as if she was thinking about the inappropriate picture for children, and she said expectantly: "If he can really help me...... Sister, you have to wait for me......"
Medea dropped the last stroke, and it fell under the eyes of the smiling little girl, it was a tear, a red, sad tear.
