Chapter 157 Cangdong City, Jiangnan
Night fell quietly, but the lights were still bright inside and outside Cangdong City. The wind blows slowly, and the flags at the door of the wine shop fly rhythmically. The fog and rain are gently sprinkled, and the carved clumsy railings are covered with a layer of moisture, and the people who come and go on the street are still laughing and noisy, and the cold air at night can't stop people's fiery mood. The cries of selling came and went, and the stalls along the street were crowded with people. The boat was upstream of the lake, and it almost startled the river lantern floating downstream.
Su Tong and Gu Yixuan happened to collide with the most lively day in Cangdong City, with people coming and going on the streets, and a prosperous scene. The shops and vendors on the side are displaying a dazzling array of goods, and there is an endless stream of tourists with smiles on their faces, laughing and playing.
Although the king of Zhendong and Su Litian did not get along, he governed the land well, governed the Cangdong area in an orderly manner, and was sympathetic to the people's feelings, so he had such a prosperous scene.
Zhenbei King Chu Beiyan is not as good as Su Litian in attacking the city, but there is indeed a set of governance places!
"Buy a sugar gourd, a sugar gourd!"
"Sell lamb skewers, delicious and delicious lamb skewers!"
"Walk by, don't miss it, it's a big sale at a loss!"
As soon as I walked into Cangdong City, the shouting was heard, and it was just one after another, endless!
Xiao Bai's shouts continued to sound in the spiritual sea of Su Tong's dantian: "Master! Master! Hurry up and let me out! I'm eating! It's so unrighteous not to bring me for such fun!"
Xiaobai jumped around, constantly looking for where to eat. Suddenly, he turned his head and pointed to a vendor next to him, who was selling sugar gourds.
"Master, master, what is this sugar gourd? Is it better than fairy grass?"
When he was a child, Su Tong often slipped out of Zhenbei Wangfu with Chu Xue's girl, just to eat such a bite of sugar gourd. The taste is excellent, it is really the taste of childhood.
Xiaobai took Zhang Qingming's hand, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Boss, how much is this sugar gourd?"
The peddler put down the stick in his hand, and when he saw that the business was coming, someone had sent money, and he smiled brightly, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Sanwen money, how many do you want from the guest officers?"
Su Tong skimmed Gu Yixuan on the side and replied, "Sister Yixuan, do you want to eat?"
"Look at it and buy it."
"Three!"
The three of them took the sugar gourd in turn, looking at the round gourd, Xiaobai's saliva was about to flow out, and they couldn't wait to take a bite, the sugar shreds were sweet and delicious, Xiaobai looked like he was enjoying it, and praised again and again: "Mrs. ... It's delicious!"
Li Changqing took a bite, nodded, and said with a smile, "Indeed! However, it is still the sugar gourd sold in Beiliang City that is the most delicious."
"Sister Yixuan, why don't you eat it? Don't you like to eat?" Ye Ling'er Su Tong asked suspiciously.
Gu Yixuan took the sugar gourd in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Su Tong, you can eat it!" I'll give you this..."
"Sister Yixuan, why don't you eat it? Don't you like it?" Su Tong asked suspiciously.
Gu Yixuan shook his head and replied, "I stopped eating candy a long time ago, so you can eat it!"
Seeing that Gu Yixuan didn't eat, Xiaobai smiled and said, "Sister Yixuan doesn't eat, give me food!"
Su Tong looked at Xiaobai, a foodie, and said angrily, "You guy, you know how to eat all day long..."
Gu Yixuan sighed lightly, and thought to himself: When Yuxuan was still there, he liked to buy me sugar gourds to eat, but now he is gone......
"Master! Look! That's a lot of people there!"
Xiao Bai is a third-order spirit beast, this guy has lived for hundreds of years, but he has been locked up in the Valley of Imperial Beasts for the first half of his life, looking at the green prairie every day. Now that it's out, it's strange to see anything.
Xiao Bai didn't say a word and walked directly towards the crowd, Su Tong raised his head, and in the distance in this Cangdong City, there was actually a towering tree that covered the sky and the sun, the trunk was extremely thick, the bark was rough, and it exuded a faint light. Su Tong looked at the circle of annual rings, and didn't know how many years the ancient tree had lived to grow to such a big size.
Gu Yixuan slowly raised his head
, looked at the big tree not far away, and said, "This tree is longer than the history of this Cangdong City, this place is regarded by the locals as a blessed sacred tree, as long as the name is written on the red rope and tied to the blessed sacred tree, luck and your blessing will follow this."
Su Tong smiled and said, "It's so mysterious! Why don't we go and see it too?"
Gu Yixuan nodded and smiled slightly.
"Everyone, don't miss it when you pass by, this is the famous blessing tree in our Cangdong City, and you will write your name on the red rope to ...... your blessing."
I saw a bearded middle-aged man standing under the Blessing Tree with a large handful of red rope in his hand, shouting loudly.
Su Tong squeezed into the crowd and asked loudly, "Boss, how do you sell this red rope?"
"Ten cents!"
"It's so expensive! Forget it!" Some tourists around heard the price and dispersed.
That's right! For ordinary people, this ten cents is not a small amount, but for us, the prince of Beiliang, it is nothing.
Su Tong directly threw a silver ingot to him, the boss's eyes lit up, put the silver in his teeth, and after making sure that it was correct, he hurriedly smiled and said, "This master, how much do you want?"
Su Tong stepped forward and shouted, "Boss, get me more red rope!"
The bearded middle-aged man hurriedly put the silver into his pocket, and then stepped forward with a smile and handed Su Tong a large handful of red ropes in his hand.
"Thank you!" Su Tong nodded politely at the middle-aged man.
The boss waved his hand and shouted, "Guest, the Blessing Divine Tree will definitely bless you!"
Gu Yixuan watched Su Tong take out so many red ropes, Liu frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing with so much?"
Su Tong replied, "Isn't this red string used to write names? I bought so much."
"You've blessed so many people? Do you really believe in the true spirit of this blessed sacred tree?"
Su Tong smiled and said, "I have lost too many people in my life, and it is nothing to believe in this sacred tree! It's better to believe what you have than not to believe in what you don't have!"
Gu Yixuan nodded and said, "Give me two."
After Su Tong handed the two red ropes to Gu Yixuan, he and Xiaobai ran aside with a large pile of red ropes, bought pen and ink inkstones, and wrote seriously on the side.
Su Tong lay there and wrote for a long time before he wrote this large handful of red ropes, he slowly stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile, "It's finally finished."
Seeing that Xiaobai was still lying there and writing seriously, he stepped forward and asked, "Xiaobai, can you write?" Still writing so seriously?"
Xiaobai nodded and replied, "I can write two words! They were all taught to me."
"What two words?"
"Beauty!"
Su Tong was almost so angry that Xiaobai vomited blood, and then picked up the large pile of red ropes it was written on, and found that he had been busy for a long time, and the words "beauty" were all written on those ropes.
"I really can't do anything about you, and Zeng Fu also teaches this guy something bad, and he teaches something that is not serious."
Su Tong painted here for an hour, and Gu Yixuan stood quietly aside, looking at his serious appearance, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly from time to time, revealing a little smile.
After spending so much time here, the night market is gradually coming to an end, and the tourists on the road are walking slowly in the direction of home.
The mustachioed boss who sold red ropes before walked quickly to the three of them and said with a smile: "Three guest officers, it's closed today, you hang up these red ropes, and go back to rest early!"
"Uh-huh!"
After speaking, the boss hurriedly collected his stall and left in a hurry.
Most of the red ropes in Su Tong's hands are people who are related to him and are good to him, and there are only a few red ropes left in his hands, these are people who are extremely important to him.
"Mother, don't worry, I now know who killed you back then, please rest assured, the child will definitely avenge you in the future! If it weren't for you,
My child is long dead, and you gave me two lives."
"Mother, I really miss you!"
Su Tong tied the red rope with the name of Princess Beiliang "Fang Ling'er" written on it on the branch.
The next one to take out was the name of his father Su Litian, looking at the red rope, Su Tong smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Dad, I have worked hard for you all these years, I used to be ignorant and always made you angry, I will definitely work hard to practice in the future and share the burden on my body for you."
"The child has grown up, and is no longer the naughty little brat."
Then the penultimate red rope was slowly taken out, and the word "Zhang Lian" was written crookedly on it.
Su Tong sighed lightly: "General Zhang Lian, if you hadn't come to pick me up, I wouldn't know where I was wandering now!" If it weren't for the fact that you risked your life in the Pure Yang Palace to block a blow, how could I have stood here properly? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died, and you can rest assured that I will avenge you!"
In the end, Su Tong lifted the last red rope and walked towards the Blessed Divine Tree, carefully tied the red rope to it, I looked at the word "Chu Xue" on it, smiled slightly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you must be good in the Pure Yang Palace, and when I become stronger, I will come to the Pure Yang Palace to pick you up from the mountain."
"This girl named Chu Xue is your sweetheart, right?"
Su Tongmeng turned his head and looked at Gu Yixuan behind him with a panicked expression, not knowing what to say for a while, just nodded.
Gu Yixuan said lightly: "With you kid like her, she's so happy!"
"It's not too early, let's find an inn to stay in!" Gu Yixuan's voice was a little colder, and he said slowly.
Su Tong tore off Xiaobai, who was still hanging a beautiful woman on the tree, and said angrily, "It's still hanging! I wrote a lot, all of them are beautiful women, not to mention this sacred tree, who the hell knows who you bless?"
Xiaobai looked at Su Tong aggrievedly and said, "Master, why don't you introduce me to a few beauties, so that I have a name to write."
"You guy wants to be able to devote his thoughts about missing beautiful women to his cultivation, and Lao Tzu can wake up laughing in his dreams."
Su Tong looked at Gu Yixuan's distant figure and felt a little strange, she didn't say a word, and walked along the front of the street, her eyes were blank, and there were some unspeakable things hidden in her heart.
Gu Yixuan knew that Su Tong was full of names, but he didn't have the one that belonged to him. But Su Tong didn't know that Gu Yixuan only had two red ropes on them, and only her dead husband Luo Yuxuan and his name were written.
Su Tong......
