Chapter Forty-Nine: There Are Birds That Only Fall in the Sky
The main city of Luoshui Kingdom.
A woman in white walked slowly through the streets, looking at the men, women and children who were keen to collect and buy Buddha statues and porcelain, and she was very puzzled.
Why do people have to spend so much money on things that are useless in her eyes?
The owner of the shop next to him was a man in his thirties, and after seeing the woman's waist and appearance, his eyes were a little straight and his mouth was a little dry. But he wasn't a coward, he licked his lips, looked to the side, shook his head, put his hands around him, and tried to suppress the fire in his heart.
When did such a good-looking woman appear in Luo Shuiguo? The more the man thought about it, the more he couldn't believe it, and quietly glanced at the woman in white who had already walked over, and the man nodded, it was really good-looking, she looked white and clean, looking at that skin, it was estimated that it was so tender that she could squeeze out water, right? The man thought to himself.
The man suddenly cried with a sad face, sighed, alas, when can he marry such a beautiful woman, if that is the case, it will be worth it to live ten years less. But the man thought about it, alas, forget it, the fairy just take a look, and he may not be able to live a stable life with himself. Although the person in the family always complains about herself and is upset, even she has to admit that her work in bed is really good. His daughter-in-law once said to him, when you can do business as you did when you were in bed, it would be good, in that case, she would not always be picky, look at it unpleasantly, and feel uncomfortable to see it.
It's good to think about some things, and the man is happy, and he begins to shout: Hey, don't miss it when you pass by......
The woman in white was a little dazzled by the curiosities of the department stores in the market, and she was overwhelmed. It turns out that the market of this human society is like this, her beautiful eyes are flowing, there is a smile in the corners of her eyes, and her steps are a little brisk, she rolled up her sleeves and suddenly walked towards a stall. The stall owner was a woman in her forties, a man with good eyesight, and when she saw this good-looking woman, she immediately walked up to the woman enthusiastically, "Does the girl have anything to want? The woman tilted her head and said questioningly, "Everything?"
The woman sighed, led her to the stall, and said as she went, "Girl, I see that you are also here for the first time, right? I have some confidence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to say such things.
The woman in white nodded, pointing to a small fish pond over there. Bite one's tongue.
The fish pond is artificial, but it still looks like that, there should be everything, but it is placed in the middle of the city, which is inevitably a little abrupt.
The woman immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It seems that the girl is interested in this fishing, so it is easy to say." She shifted and picked up a long, small spoon, which was net-like and seemed to be used for fishing. This kind of game is not only popular in Luo Shuiguo, in fact, it is also a more popular game in the whole St. Dutis, basically parents bring their children to play, childlike and childlike, only need two copper coins each time, depending on your own luck, whether you can catch the fish in the fish pond is fate.
The woman smiled: "I didn't expect the girl to be interested in this kind of game, I always thought that a fairy like a girl was embroidering sleeves all day long?" She gently handed the net-like long spoon to the woman in white, and slapped her mouth, "Oh, I said something that shouldn't be said again, alas, don't mind the girl." β
The woman in white shook her head with a smile, a little uncomfortable with such a warm so-called human sophistication. She leaned slightly sideways, took the long spoon from the woman's hand, and placed the two copper coins in the woman's palm without a trace. The latter smiled, wiped it with his hand, and the two copper coins disappeared.
Sure enough, a good means for merchants!
Ordinary words, a warm and kind smile, will make you feel at home, and naturally, the business is done.
After the woman accepted the money, she immediately went to greet others, and before leaving, she said a few harmless and intimate words to the woman in white, and the woman in white had to smile and nod. She walked up to the fish pond and looked at the small artificial pond with a sad expression, although she knew that those fish could not practice, but when she saw those fish being used as playthings for people to enjoy, she began to wonder if her decision to change from a snake to a human was the right one?
Just when the woman was stunned with a long spoon, a group of people walked not far away, the pale young man led by him suddenly stopped, looked at the woman in white, his eyes were hot, and whispered a few words to the people beside him, the attendants who followed immediately smiled, and slowly walked towards the woman in white, the pale young man behind him was full of smiles, he was intoxicated with his hands behind his back, as if he had seen the woman under his body, he licked his lips, smiled, and said in his heart: Who made me the princeοΌ
The woman in white didn't notice the approach of those ill-intentioned people behind her, and was choosing a fish to be fished up and released again.
The people around saw those attendants coming and recognized that this was the person of the second prince, so they silently retreated, not wanting to be contaminated with right and wrong, in case one of them accidentally made the lawless second prince unhappy, and his life would be lost. The crowd gradually dispersed, of course the proprietress also recognized that the group of people was the second prince's bodyguard, as for what they wanted to do, it was also very clear, she looked embarrassed, a little hesitant to remind the good-looking girl, the goal of the gang was very clear, of course she also saw it, but she really didn't want this woman who had not been meeting for a long time to be abused by the second prince, and then tired of throwing corpses in the wilderness, becoming those homeless lonely ghosts. It's like...... Like his hapless daughter. Thinking of this, the woman unconsciously wiped away her tears.
No, I was cowardly and incompetent back then, and I couldn't protect my daughter, and now I have nothing to lose, so I don't care, just ignore it, and fight him to death!
She relented, walked up to the woman in white, and whispered a few words in the woman's ear, and the woman's face was calm, and she smiled at her, unmoved. The woman was a little anxious, tears came out, and she hurriedly took the woman's arm and told her to hurry away.
"Where do you want to go, little sister?" The attendants had blocked the retreat and surrounded the two, and the second prince slowly stood behind the woman in white, looking at the "great scenery" behind the woman, and he said casually: "If you have nothing to do with people, just retreat, don't be blurred by the flesh and blood...... That's not good. β
The woman anxiously stopped the woman in white and scolded: "You bastard, how many unconscionable things you have done, just because you are also worthy of being a prince? β
The pale-faced young man smiled, "You want to die?" The man picked up the folding fan and shook it gently, "It's a little difficult to bring people back to life, but if it is to ......make people die," he paused, his eyes showed cruelty, and the shaking fan suddenly stopped, he took a step forward and said, "Then it's easier." β
The woman's back was cold, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her heart was beating wildly, deafening, and she couldn't hear the words of the second prince clearly, but she still understood the general meaning, let herself die? The woman smiled, so what?
She said to the woman in white, "Girl, you can flee quickly, and leave the rest to me." The woman in white smiled gently, gently pressed the woman's open arms to protect her, and said with a smile, "I think I know why I chose this in the first place." β
Some people's hearts are the same as theirs, although they are as faint as a candle flame, but as long as it is lit, it is warm and penetrating.
The woman's eyes were gentle and she said thank you. She stepped forward, her hand resting on the slender silver sword that had melted and emerged, and she looked at the people around her, silently, not caring about herself, dodging and dodging, all the same.
She snorted, then withdrew her gaze. The second prince raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, over the years, he had seen a lot of women, but as long as he knew his identity, he could only endure it silently and accept his fate. He was happy to see this, but he was a little bored. But like this good-looking and fierce woman, he really met it for the first time. He smiled and looked at the woman as if she were already in his pocket. "The girl will go home with me, and everything will be easy to say. He pointed his fan at the anxious woman and said disdainfully.
Who knew that the woman in white was so angry that she laughed back, which made the woman not look like a person in the world. The second prince looked at the woman with a smile, a little dizzy.
The woman drew her sword slowly, "It's really easy to let you die. β
The sword is three feet cold, and it is winter everywhere.
The guards beside the second prince suddenly felt a hurricane coming towards them, and they all became vigilant, took a step back, and protected the second prince who had been hollowed out by beauty.
This woman is not that simple!
After a while, the woman slowly withdrew her sword, there were not too many moves, just a matter of a sword.
At some point, a thick layer of ice had formed on the ground, and the woman covered her mouth and exclaimed, a little incredulous. Those guards and the evil second prince have become "icemen", layered on top of each other, lifeless.
Dead.
The woman seemed to think that it looked a bit of an eyesore, and frowned, she didn't use her sword this time, but just lightly stepped on the ground with her foot, and then from the ice under her feet, a thin white long line extended to those "icemen", and after an explosion, the "icemen" disappeared. Only the debris of the ground was left for people to trample on at will.
The slender silver sword in the hand of the woman in white slowly "melted".
She said sorry to the stunned proprietress that she might have caused her unnecessary trouble. The woman smiled, her eyes were a little red, she wiped her tears, and said with a smile that she didn't care now, and when she thought that she was finally brave this time, she didn't feel any trouble.
She just felt that her current enlightenment had come a little late, and now that she was able to take this step, she sincerely felt that she was really ...... I'm feeling a little lighter.
She looked at the woman in white, her vision blurred and a little trance-like.
She seemed to see a somewhat shy and introverted girl, dressed in blue clothes, standing there quietly, even if she didn't speak, it was a very beautiful scenery.
She felt that she could look at this picture for a long time until she left.
Will you be able to see your daughter there?
Girl, will Mom come over later?
The woman's eyes were hazy with tears and she choked up.
The woman in white was stunned, then stepped forward and hugged the woman with tears on her face.
She gently patted the woman on the back and said softly, "It's all right...... It's all right......"
On the huge street, two people who haven't seen each other for a long time hugged each other, like a reunion after a long absence, and the white horse suddenly looked back.
Sometimes, it's really impossible to measure everything.
The pedestrians on the street slowly dispersed, and everyone was silent, and their hearts were touched.
It's a little strange: it's clear that the second prince is dead, but there is no one to report to the palace.
It's also interesting.
The ice on the ground slowly melted, and blood flowed out. The second prince and the others had turned into scraps of meat on the ground, and it was difficult to distinguish human shapes. After being trampled by pedestrians, it looks even more dirty. A little kid suddenly threw some dirt over there, then stuck out his tongue and slipped away.
Could it be that even such a young child already knows how to "settle in the ground"?
The child's father smiled, picked the child up, gently nodded the child's nose, handed the child a small sugar cake, and the child chewed the candy and smiled happily.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Luo Shuiguo.
A man dressed in black ran to the middle-aged man in a panic and quickly knelt down with his arms on his chest.
"The eldest prince, it's not good," the man in black said breathlessly.
The middle-aged man who was called the "Great Prince" sighed and frowned, this heroic face has the saying of "Immortal" in Luo Shui Kingdom, so the Great Prince is also the most ideal husband candidate for women in Luo Shui Kingdom. In fact, it is not only because of his good-looking appearance, but also because of his talent, it is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely because of his existence that Luo Shuiguo can continue to let this Luo Shuiguo continue to be the quintessence of the country for ten years without the emperor taking care of political affairs.
Before the age of twenty, he would never have thought that such an usually inconspicuous person would be so deeply hidden?But maybe it was precisely because of this that he would be hated by the second prince, right?
Originally, we were all the same, why did you suddenly become so dazzling? The second prince was very puzzled, and he probably didn't get an answer until he died.
From childhood to adulthood, food and clothing have no worries, which is actually a lifeline for him.
Viciousness and comical are often similar.
Now his death is a bit like a joke.
He waved his hand, saying that he already knew about it, and motioned for the man in black to step back first.
After the latter retired, a sneering smile crossed the eldest prince's face, and then he slowly walked to the old emperor's throne, his eyes were hot, and then he naturally sat on the throne, looking down at the court, and he couldn't help laughing.
So this is what the emperor can see, right?
He licked his somewhat dry lips and smiled.
It's all mine now!
In the dark corner of the back, a woman who had just "molted" had been watching all this indifferently.
She looked at the man like she was looking at a marionette, full of banter.

The sun was shining, and Lin Futian put away the water collector that was supported on the ground and handed it to Mo Yunfu. He quipped, "What you're bringing is really ...... That's a lot. Mo Yunfu smiled hesitantly, then bent the water collector and put it into the storage bag, "Not much, not much, just enough miles." Lin Futian patted Mo Yunfu's shoulder, and everything was silent.
Well done.
Luo Mei put away the stool, saw Lin Futian, and then handed him a folding chair, Lin Futian smiled and took it, "Why don't you scold me?" Luo Mei rolled her eyes.
Is there still such a request?
Mo Yunfu smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I didn't expect your current preferences to be so weird." Lin Futian said to Mo Yunfu earnestly: "You will also have my day, you are still young and don't understand these things." Mo Yunfu laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you are really humorous. Lin Futian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I know I'm very humorous. β
Suddenly, Zhao Jingzhi woke up from meditation. Luo Mei and the others were also sensed and on guard.
Within a radius of ten miles, there was a sudden thunderstorm, and the layers of trees began to shake violently, and the leaves fell like a different kind of heavy snow.
Lin Futian narrowed his eyes, suddenly took a step forward, and leaped into the air.
After a few moments, the loud noise was gone, and the trees were still shaking, but the wind had stopped.
Plop.
Lin Futian fell to the ground, and a black-clothed hunting sound.
And with it, a huge bird.
