In the bustling market, there are people dressed in various colored clothes, some people wear plain gray cloth shirts, short coats and trousers, gray cloth belts around their waists, and carry huge baskets behind them.

The itinerant crowd consisted mainly of turban-clad and black-faced Persians, who walked in groups of three, sneakily looking at the stalls in the bazaar, and then whispering in voices that no one could hear. Most of the stalls are decorated with Persian silk and satin, jewelry and jade, which are colorful and attract the attention of the crowd, and some are small stalls that make ramen, dumplings and pasta, and people who come and go can't resist the temptation of color and fragrance, stop and take out a copper plate to eat a bowl of fragrant ramen.

In this dense market, there is a stall full of women, and everyone is scrambling to pay for it. The woman who fought her way out of the crowd happily held a bronze mirror inlaid with jewels and squeezed out of the crowd, looked left and right with satisfaction, her plump cheeks looked thin in the mirror, she touched her face with her round hand, and walked away satisfied.

The seller is a pair of young people, the two of them are about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, the woman is wearing a long skirt made of bright Persian yarn, the skirt style is chic, there are only two thin straps on the shoulders, and the white shoulders are wrapped under the white gauze draped on the back, looming, making people think, she is Yu Yao, a well-known beauty blogger in the neighborhood. The man who collected the money next to her was Lin Xiangdi.

In addition to buying bronze mirrors, the women also came to see the dress of this strange woman and whispered. Here, few people wear Persian yarn, let alone cut it into such a strange costume. But everyone has a love for beauty, and the women envy this woman's clothes, peeking at it, and want to go back and wear such a dress.

The women looked at the woman's lips carefully, and boldly asked directly: "Where did you buy this rouge?" Did the Persians sell it to you? ”

Yu Yao smiled slightly and did not answer. Continuing to ask again, Yu Yao took out a delicate tube from the bag behind her, and with a slight twist, the good-looking rouge slowly rose out like a small stick, she pointed to the rouge stick arrogantly and said, "If you want it, you have to make an appointment in advance, I can help you customize it." But it's very expensive. "The women smacked their tongues, forget it, just a piece of rouge. But the eyes couldn't help but glance at her lips, it was really beautiful.

Lin Xiangdi's dress is much simpler, just a gray cloth shirt without sleeves, but with a lot of pockets, and the leg is not wearing cloth pants, but a pair of blue trousers, which are not loose or tightly wrapped around the slender legs. He had a colorful bag tied around his waist, and he skillfully put the copper plate into the small bag, and pulled the small mechanism casually, and the bulging copper plate in the bag disappeared. This man is more than seven feet tall, with a dignified appearance, fair complexion, red lips and white teeth, not much worse than Yu Yao.

Many women couldn't help but swallow their saliva, such a beautiful man is many times better looking than his own rough and reckless man. Even His Royal Highness, the prince of the country, is less than one-ten-thousandth of him.

The two of them recommended their bronze mirrors to the women crowded in front of the stalls. It is not surprising that the bronze mirror is inlaid with all kinds of jewelry, just some ordinary gemstones, such as opal, clams, agate, pearls, southern red, etc., what really makes women enthusiastic is that according to legend, this bronze mirror can be disguised, round face and slimmer. The women who have looked in the mirror are deeply impressed.

The name of this bronze mirror is: fairy mirror.

Yu Yao stood high on a boulder, holding a bronze mirror shaped like a fish, holding it lightly in his hand, and said loudly: "Jimei, please look here, this is the new fish-shaped fairy mirror this time, created by skilled craftsmen, and the jewelry inlaid on it is even more valuable. This is a limited edition, only ten handfuls, everyone is on a first-come, first-served basis. ”

The women rushed to try out the photos in front of the stall like crazy, and it was really better than the bronze mirror at home. Scrambled to take it in his hand, asked the price, did not bargain, paid and left, for fear of being snatched by others, tightly guarded in his arms. Ten fish-shaped copper mirrors were sold out quickly, and those who didn't buy them also bought ordinary oval copper mirrors, comforting themselves in their hearts and saying: It's just that the style is different, as long as it can be illuminated into a fairy, it doesn't matter what shape it is.

Lin Xiangdi collects money with one hand and gives goods with the other. Soon, the bronze mirrors on the stalls were sold out. The man smiled and said to the woman, "Yaoyao, it's sold out." ”

Yu Yao, who was selling the goods, said apologetically to the female customers who were still shouting: "Ladies and gentlemen, the fairy mirror has been sold out today. If necessary, everyone will buy it after half a month. ”

The guests sighed, complained, and were indignant, but in the end they shook their heads regretfully and left.

Yu Yao saw the crowd disperse, sat down on the ground all of a sudden, held her face and said, "Lao Lin, I'm almost exhausted." It's a lot more tiring than selling a car. I'm craving a cup of fragrant Starbucks coffee right now. ”

After Lin Xiangdi put all the money he earned today in his waist bag, he also sat on the ground, made the same posture as Yu Yao holding his face, and said yearningly: "I really miss modern life, coffee, beer, drinks, air conditioners, cars, endless surgeries, wages that arrive on time, and yellow stewed mutton made by my mother, oops, it's like a world away!" ”

Yu Yao closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, leaned her head on the man, and asked softly, "Lao Lin, how long have we crossed here?" ”

Lin Xiangdi took out a small book with a brown bear drawn from his arms, looked at it for a long time and said, "The one hundred and fifty-seventh day." ”

Yu Yao sighed and said, "When is it a head?" When will we be able to return to the modern era? ”

Lin Xiangdi smiled bitterly and said, "The ghost knows! ”

At the other end of the market, several Persians in turbans are staring at the "fairy mirror" stalls. Several people whispered, their expressions serious, and they seemed to be talking about confidential matters. After a few discussions, a man wrapped in an orange turban turned around three times and walked timidly to the "fairy mirror" stall.

When Lin Xiangdi saw someone coming, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Brother, come back in half a month." Today there is not a single mirror left. ”

The Persian man lowered his head and did not say a word, and only after a long time did he raise his head in questioning eyes, muster up enough courage, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Can you teach me how you make a fairy mirror?" ”

Lin Xiangdi sneered, pointed to the Persians and said, "Big brother, it's not easy for everyone to make a living, trade secrets, do you think I will tell you?" ”

Although the Persians did not understand what was meant by "trade secrets", they also roughly understood from what they said and looked at, and the man did not agree. So he pointed into the distance, and there was a large carriage with several large wooden boxes tied to it, and the Persians gathered around it to watch them. The Persians said, "Teach me, that box of jewels, give it to you." ”

Lin Xiangdi laughed again, touched Yu Yao beside him with his elbow and said, "Yaoyao, this person plans to exchange a box of jewels for our way to get rich, don't you think it's funny?" ”

When the Persian saw a woman dressed in a bright Persian dress sitting next to the man, she smiled and said, "Go and dream of his big yellow sorghum." ”

Lin Xiangdi shrugged, helplessly spread his hands and said to the Persians: "I'm sorry, my proprietress doesn't agree." ”

The Persian looked back helplessly at his companion who was standing far away, and after the companions made a look, he continued to say, "Look at our things?" ”

Lin Xiangdi smiled and waved his hand and said, "This benevolent brother, you are doing a big business, and we just rely on our ability to make a living." You say, you've learned all of our skills, so how can we survive here? Right? ”

The Persian was easily sent away without a word, but his companions stared at them in a daze and refused to let go.

The Persians were famous for their most business, and brought all kinds of overseas goods to China through the Silk Road. They bought and sold all kinds of goods along the way, and arrived in the territory of Wuci Kingdom in the past few days, and the first thing they arrived at was this prosperous capital - Cixian City.

They wanted to sell it in Cixian City, but they didn't expect to find that there was a kind of mirror that could make people look thin here, which was extremely strange, so they observed it from a distance: there were so many people standing in front of this small stall, and they were eager to ask for it, and the Persians sighed to themselves, so they thought about it almost in exchange for skills, but they didn't think about it, and were rejected by the white-faced man. I can't be angry, but I can't rob it openly, after all, it's on other people's territory.

Several people looked at each other, and discussed again, and discussed again.

After Lin Xiangdi saw the Persians leave, he said to Yu Yao, who was sitting on the ground, "Yaoyao, let's go, let's go home." ”

Yu Yao rubbed her legs and said, "Lin Xiangdi, I can't walk." You're carrying me, right? ”

Lin Xiangdi looked at the woman dotingly and said, "Miss Yu Yao, please." After saying that, he half-squatted down, let the woman lie on his back, and carried the box in his hand when he got up.

Two young men, brightly dressed differently from the locals, weave through the long bazaar. The woman smiled like a flower, lying on the man's back and talking and laughing. The women envied the woman and admired the man, while the men looked at the woman's face in a daze, laughing at the man for being a white-faced student.

A pair of eagle-like eyes in the crowd were staring at them viciously, and then slowly disappeared into the crowd.

The two talked and laughed along the way to a quaint courtyard and two low earthen houses on the edge of the city. Yu Yao slipped off Lin Xiangdi's back, landed firmly on the ground, and said with a smile, "I'm going to cook." The man put his things away and followed the woman into the small room.

Yu Yao smacked his mouth and said, "Lao Lin, I really want to eat a stir-fried dish." I've had enough of this boiled dish. ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "Why don't we buy some animal oil tomorrow?" It's time to stir-fry, okay? ”

Yu Yao said disappointedly: "It's not that I haven't tried it, it's not delicious." ”

Lin Xiangdi stretched out his finger and scratched her nose and said, "Yaoyao, if you come, you will be safe." At that time, we somehow crossed over here, and we didn't know what year or month we would be able to go back. Bear with me. ”

The woman tilted her head, recalling the events of more than eight months ago, like a memory of her past life engraved in the cerebral cortex, and when she looked back, it was still fresh and vivid.
