Chapter 23: Chance Encounters

The noise was near, but I saw a fat middle-aged woman, holding the arm of a young girl.

"Little cheap hooves still dare to run? Oh, the old lady is not a vegetarian, and if you dare to go against the old lady, you will not blame the old lady for being polite! ”

"That Zhi'er, but the girl that the old lady bought with a lot of money, since you let her go, then come to Yihong Mansion to serve the man instead of her, which can be regarded as compensation for the old lady!"

The pulling and pulling continued, the girl was scared silly, crying miserably, and there were many onlookers, but they were all watching the excitement and pointing and pointing.

"Alas, this girl is evil, it's not good to provoke anyone, but she wants to provoke Aunt Hong in Yihong Mansion, and now the innocent little girl has ended up in this situation, I'm afraid that she can only serve a man in Yihong Mansion for a lifetime......"

"I have to say that this girl is quite handsome, and most of her is a chick, if she can kiss Fang Ze in Yihong Mansion...... Hehe, it's absolutely cool! ”

"Yes, look at this white and tender skin, it feels absolutely good to touch it, and then look at this little face with delicate facial features, it is simply the best, Aunt Hong is really making a lot of money this time!"

The girl was still crying, crying until she was about to lose her strength, and seeing that she was about to be dragged into Yihong Mansion by the big men, a "young man" dressed in green clothes suddenly stood up and knocked one of the big men to the ground with one punch.

The big man was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his whole body was full of bone headaches, and he scolded and stood up and wanted to fight back, but then it was a strong fist.

"Ah!!h This time it hit the vital point between his legs, and the screams soared into the sky.

"Heh, there's another nosyman, looking for death! If you dare to disturb the good things of the old lady, the old lady will even take your little white face to collect it together, and the old lady will do what she says! ”

Aunt Hong was so angry that her whole face twisted violently, but unfortunately her threat had no effect.

Knock knock! Knock knock! The henchmen fell to the ground one after another, and the ghosts and wolves howled and rolled all over the ground, judging the arrogance and domineering attitude of Fang Cai.

The surrounding spectators applauded the skills of the "boy", and the girls upstairs in Yihong Mansion waved handkerchiefs excitedly at the "boy".

"How? Do you want to fight again? ”

Jiu Yao twisted her neck, the corners of her mouth under the mask hooked a cold arc, and she looked at the eyes of the men all over the ground, as if she was looking at a dead person.

"No, no, no, no, don't fight, beg Xiao Langjun to let go, beg Xiao Langjun to let go!"

When the words fell, the men immediately shouted, and Aunt Hong on the side was even more angry, and scolded viciously for "soft bones".

"It is said that those who know the times are handsome, and it seems that although you have done a lot of evil, you also have a little self-knowledge."

Standing with her hands in her hands, Jiu Yao nodded lightly, and looked at the beaten girl again.

But seeing that although the girl was embarrassed, the material she wore on her body and the pearl jade on her head were not ordinary goods, and she knew that her identity was extraordinary at a glance.

"Get up, it's okay."

Jiu Yao gently stretched out a hand, and the girl hesitated for a moment, but finally staggered to her feet.

Mu Ran suddenly looked up and was facing a silver mask delicately encrusted with precious stones.

The posture of the person who came was as tall as the Zhilan jade tree, and the lower half of the face that was not covered by the mask was even more white and moist like jade.

"Thank you, thank you, childe......"

Pretty blushed, and when the girl got up, she retracted her hand like lightning, and lowered her head to look at her embarrassedly.

As for the surrounding spectators, they were all scattered in a hurry when they lost their excitement and were worried about getting into trouble.

"My name is Jiu Yao, it's good if you call me Ah Jiu, seeing that you are dressed unusually, you should be a foreigner who came here and got separated from your family, right?"

The "boy" spoke in a gentle tone, and his voice was even more good, and when the words fell, the girl blushed and nodded shyly.

"Coincidentally, my brother and I are also foreigners, and we came here to see the lanterns, if the girl does not dislike it, you can walk with us, while swimming in the lanterns, while looking for the girl's lost family."

"Okay." When the words fell, the girl thought for a moment, and finally agreed, and said softly and weakly, "Thanks to Ah Jiu Gongzi for saving me, I am grateful, if I can go all the way, I can't ask for it." ”

"This is a talisman, the girl is good, and it may save her life at a critical moment, so it should be a gift to the girl."

After taking the sachet handed by the "boy", the girl's face blushed even more, and a heart in her chest was even more of a deer, obviously misunderstood.

Jiu Yao saw that she really had no intention of clarifying her identity, it was a meeting in Pingshui, and she was unwilling to expose herself so easily, so as not to add to the trouble.

The Lantern Festival is very lively, with an endless stream of people coming and going, roadside vendors, still selling all kinds of delicacies and novelties, and Mo Hanxue is temporarily acting as a tool man, carrying all kinds of packages and snacks in his hands, and he is miserable.

"Ah Jiu Gongzi, how old are you, have you ever been married?"

Holding Jiu Yao's arm, the girl chattered and asked non-stop, like a noisy magpie.

"Never." Jiu Yao shook her head very slowly, paused and said, "However, I don't want to be here, and I can be at ease alone, swimming in the mountains and rivers at will." ”

It turns out that this is what it means...... The girl was clear, and her long eyelashes covered a trace of loneliness under her eyes.

After walking for a while, the attention of the two was gradually attracted by the lanterns on the side of the road, but they saw that those lanterns were in different shapes, some were tied into flowers, insects and fish, some were tied into various figures, or all kinds of birds, beasts and birds.

"Wow, you can guess the lantern riddle here, Childe, let's go over and take a look!"

Seeing a roadside stall, the girl's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she waited until she got together, but saw a superb marquee hanging high on the shop.

As long as you guess the answer to the three lantern riddles correctly, you are qualified to take this marquee as your own, but this marquee is precious, and the lantern riddles given by the shop will naturally not be too simple.

"Light boat dot the spring waves, type."

Opened her lips, the girl read softly, and after a while, her eyes lit up and said, "The riddle of the lantern riddle is a single 'Liang' word, I don't know if the little girl can guess it accurately?" ”

"Haha, this girl Bing Xue is smart, the answer to this riddle is indeed a single 'beam' word. As long as you can guess two more riddles, this lamp will belong to the girl! ”

Guessed right? The girl's face was overjoyed, and she became more and more eager to try, but unfortunately the remaining two questions were more difficult, and she couldn't guess them anyway.

"Lovers are close to each other, but they have no intention...... The answer to the puzzle is 'Qian'. The last right to find a bosom friend in the painting, the mystery is a single 'branch' word. ”

Jiu Yao spoke thoughtfully, and as soon as her voice fell, the surrounding spectators who didn't guess correctly showed their expressions of chagrin and sudden realization.

What's more, they applauded one after another.
