Volume 2: The Gentleman's Sword Tests His Skills, and the Beginning of Puritanism (Chapter 5) Volume 2, Chapter 6: Faith
It turned out that after Li Mujiang came to Chang'an City this morning, she was hungry, so she happened to go to the Huayue Inn, took out the gold leaf to buy wine and meat, and was going to sit down and enjoy it slowly, but she suddenly saw a horse in the stable, and the environment in which she grew up made her very sensitive to horses, so she was very sure that this horse had definitely seen it herself, and it should have been yesterday. And she remembered that Zhang Jiang and the others did not ride horses, so this horse could only be the wild wolf thieves last night.
The enemy actually followed to Chang'an City, which shocked her, so she didn't wait for the boss to find it, cut a few catties of beef, and quickly left the inn with the big wine jar full of Xifeng wine.
This is the first time Li Mujiang came to Chang'an City, and I don't know the reality of the back face, she walked all the way, and inexplicably walked to this Guangren Temple, seeing that this place is located in the northwest corner, and the house is very high, which is not only conducive to concealment, but also conducive to observation, so she jumped in and climbed onto the roof, which is the previous scene.
Li Mujiang has recovered from the previous entanglement and confusion, and at this moment, she is calmly looking at the group of lamas at her feet, as if she is thinking about something.
After a soft sound of "click", Li Mujiang subconsciously held the blade, turned his head to look, and found that there was no one, and he was surprised when he heard a voice next to him:
"Ha, sure enough, it's you. Hungry ghosts! β
Li Mujiang immediately turned around, only to see a handsome man sitting next to him, this man was dressed in white, with a dragon beard on his forehead, fox eyes and charm, smiling at himself, it was Jiang Xiaoshu.
Jiang Xiaoshu smiled and waved his hand:
"Yo he, it's a coincidence, starving ghost girl, I can see you here."
"The Starving?" Hearing this strange name before, Li Mujiang was puzzled:
"What nonsense?"
Jiang Xiaoshu said with a smile:
"I heard the story of the reincarnation of a hungry ghost today......
Jiang Xiaoshu retold the conversation between him and the shopkeeper, Li Mujiang never thought that he would be in the store where he lived, but it was fate. Then he understood that Jiang Xiaoshu was scolding himself by calling himself a starving ghost just now, so he pursed his lips and did not speak, but motioned for Jiang Xiaoshu to continue. So Jiang Xiaoshu continued:
ββ¦β¦ Then as soon as I heard it, I knew that this was starving...... Ahem, I'm talking about you, Miss Li, and Miss Li, you don't look like a nerd, so your abrupt departure from the inn must be because the inn made you feel threatened, and you not only cut the beef but also took the wine, what about this, it means ......"
Li Mujiang asked:
"What does it mean?"
Jiang Xiaoshu rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"It means that you are indeed a starving ghost reincarnated, so you have to eat a few bites no matter what, no matter what danger it is, our girl Li in this life, even if you die, you have to be a dead ghost to be enough...... Hey, Miss Li, put your tiles down, don't smash them on me, it's not a joke...... What does this mean? It means that you felt the danger at that time, but it was not an immediate danger, so you had the time to carry that big jar of wine, and consciously found such a suitable place for hiding and exploring...... As for me, I remembered that the girl's favorite thing was the northwest direction, so I came here to try my luck, and outside the courtyard wall I smelled the smell of wine inside, and then I was sure that the girl was indeed here, and then we met again. β
Jiang Xiaoshu's mind flashed, and he had already reasoned about things. This surprised Li Mujiang, he didn't expect this guy to look messy and be so thoughtful.
"That's right." Lai Mu Kong Road:
"Then guess what I saw then?"
Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head:
"Look at what you said, I'm not guessing, it's all reasonable and well-founded inferences. On the contrary, you told me to guess, but I couldn't guess anything, and we are not roundworms in your stomach......"
"Okay." Lai Mu Kong Road:
"And remind you the same, something related to yesterday's events......"
"A horse!" Jiang Xiaoshu almost blurted out, ignoring Li Mujiang's somewhat shocked gaze, and continued:
"A brown horse with a black and white mane and high shoulders, huh...... What does it look like to be six feet two inches? β
"This," Li Mujiang was a little surprised:
"How do you know?"
Jiang Xiaoshu smiled:
"Harm, sure enough, it's that horse, let me tell you honestly, this horse was originally a person named Han Fu, and he himself has been caught by me at the Huayue Inn, and now this horse is mine...... It turned out that it scared you to come here because of it, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, haha. β
"Who do you say escaped......" Li Mujiang heard Jiang Xiaoshu arrange herself like this, her eyebrows were raised, and she was about to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, even if her refutation was reasonable, saying that Jiang Xiaoshu was just playing the piano to the cow, so she continued to ask:
"Yours? Why didn't I remember you riding a horse? β
ζ±η¬δΉ¦ says:
"Think about it, we were surrounded by that group of thieves yesterday, and after we ran to a tung forest, my senior brother came to help me, at the junction of the tung forest and the peony flower sea, there is a horse, this one."
Li Mujiang thought about it carefully, when she saw the horse, it was really in the position that Jiang Xiaoshu said, and glanced at it hurriedly, no wonder she had an impression of it but never remembered its owner, it turned out that when she saw this horse, there was no one on the horse's back, but why this horse appeared there really puzzled her.
Jiang Xiaoshu continued to say complacently:
"This horse was originally left there by me, and the things on its back were also tied up by me, when I saw that the things on the horse's back had fallen into the ground, I knew that my senior brother was close to the left, otherwise I wouldn't continue to pretend to be injured and continue to walk with you, I would have already used light skills to run away, so Miss Li, you don't have to worry at all."
ββ¦β¦β
"Strange, Miss Li, why don't you speak? Didn't you understand what I just said? β
"yes, I see."
"If you understand, you understand, why is the tone so blunt......"
"Yesterday, I could at least praise you for your courage, but now it seems that you are relying on Zhang Daxia on the side, so you have no fear, but you just pretend to be very kind, it is really shameless......"
"Uh...... This, hahaha, Miss Li is really smart, you are aware of this. β
"You said it yourself."
Jiang Xiaoshu found that the heroic image he had painstakingly created was almost completely ruined by his own mouth, so he made up his mind to remain silent.
Li Mujiang saw that Jiang Xiaoshu's babbling mouth finally stopped, so he stopped paying attention to him, turned his head, and was still looking at the group of lamas at the feet of the two.
The lamas are still prostrating themselves and praying, believing that this beautiful Green Tara will help them to free themselves from the sea of suffering and enjoy eternal bliss......
After a while, Li Mujiang looked at the city wall in the distance and said abruptly:
"You say, do people have to believe in something in order to live a comfortable life?"
Without hearing a response, Li Mujiang turned around and saw Jiang Xiaoshu's palm stretched out in front of him.
