Chapter Forty-Nine: There Is a Way in the Cornered
On the red fruit stall, Ning Yu failed to stop it several times, and finally when he took the red fruit, he was able to let go, but when the gentleman looked at him, there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.
This look made Ning Yu feel uncomfortable.
How can I say that I am also a person who has read the books of the sages for many years, this ......
Did he fall in love with him at first sight?
Of course, this is also very possible, after all, your own conditions are still here.
However, the little flame of his hope was in vain.
Moreover, why did he light a small fire, but he felt that there were ants crawling on his body, and his back was followed by a chill.
Ning Yu couldn't help but turn around and look back, always feeling that there was something like Ah Piao following her.
But there was a lot of traffic behind him, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Miss Ning, look, do you like this?" The gentleman reached out and took a small woodcut handle, which was a cute little rabbit.
"Uh-huh, I like it." Ning Yu responded casually, her eyes were still wandering around, she wanted to pick an alley and jump into the alley that no one could catch up with.
"Well, I'll give you this, and if you're bored, take a look at it."
Before the words fell, Ning Yu's wrist was lifted by him again, and the little rabbit that looked cute but was not interesting landed in her palm.
"Oh, thanks, ha, I don't like rabbits." Ning Yu was polite, seeing what the other party was going to say, she had already stuffed the rabbit back into his hand.
"Didn't you just say you liked it? You're welcome. As he spoke, the rough little rabbit was about to enter Ning Yu's hands again.
"No, you're welcome, I want to ......"
Ning Yu saw that there were people coming and going in a shop next to him, and there were many people inside, so he pointed to the shop, "I want to go to that store to have a look." ”
After speaking, Ning Yu squinted his eyes and looked up at the plaque, which turned out to be a store selling jade and gemstones.
"This shop ......," Mr. suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Ning Yu's ear, "This shop is a black shop." ”
"Black shop......" Ning Yu said as he watched the person come and go.
"Don't you want to eat candy man? Shall I buy it for you? Buy you the biggest. ”
The doting tone made Ning Yu's ears flutter in an instant, and she looked in the direction he pointed, and there were quite a few people there.
The point is, there is a small alley over there, which is a great choice.
"Eat, eat, eat." Ning Yu walked over there as he spoke, and Mr. walked a few steps quickly, reached in front of Ning Yu, and reached out to hold Ning Yu's wrist.
How else is this running.
Ning Yu frowned and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but he held it tighter, and even looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.
Ning Yu could only raise the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and pestle in front of the sugar man stall.
"Like this? This one is not bad, this one is also good. ”
"Both...... Either way. Ning Yu had already looked at the alley.
"You pick one."
"It's all good." There aren't many people in the alley, I don't know where to go, it won't be a dead end, right?
"You pick one of your favorites and I'll give it to you."
The other party insisted again and again, Ning Yu could only raise his eyes and look at the few sugar people in front of him, this master who made sugar people was skilled, and the sugar people he made were all vivid, which looked much more delicate than the wooden rabbit just now.
"Both of them are pretty good." After Ning Yu finished speaking casually, he saw that the people around him came again, and when he lowered his head to pay, he could take the opportunity to jump.
But he didn't pay, but turned his head to look at Ning Yu again, and asked tenderly, "Which one is that?" ”
"Huh?" This is just one effort, and that group of people has already made mistakes, and he is still waiting for himself to answer which of the two sugar men to choose.
"Let's do it." Ning Yu pointed casually, and when she saw him looking down, she looked at the mouth of the alley, although it was not the best time, she should be able to outrun this scholar.
couldn't care so much, Ning Yu picked up the hem of her skirt and rushed into the alley like the wind.
The run was also unexpected, and the gentleman behind him just called in her direction in surprise and didn't catch up.
Ning Yu didn't dare to look back, this alley was slender, fortunately it was not a dead end, she turned a few times and entered a new alley, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no noise in the alley.
There were ordinary people on both sides, Ning Yu was so tired that she was sore, a little breathless, leaning over to support her knees with her hands, panting one by one.
Only then did she dare to look back and make sure that no one had caught up, so she walked to the side of the road and leaned against the courtyard wall to wipe the sweat beads on her forehead.
"Liao Gongzi, why don't you chase this girl when she runs away?"
A small scholar in the crowd walked up to the man and looked suspiciously in the direction where the girl had disappeared.
"Wouldn't that be better, we can go home." The man put down the candy man in his hand and stuffed the money back into his pocket.
"Childe, do you want to talk to the house, the little one followed all the way behind, and also listened to a rough idea, this girl is different from other girls in the house, her health is not good, if something happens, ...... if something happens"
"Isn't that good," the man said, looking down the alley, "and I'm worried that she's not making a mistake." ”
"There are so many girls in this house, why did the son pick such a bad body and love to cause trouble...... The little one looks at the second girl and the third girl are both gentle and virtuous. ”
"It's too difficult to climb up to them, but this girl, who is born but not favored, has never even been mentioned, and has an arrogant and indulgent temperament and makes mistakes, so there is a possibility of being pointed to marriage.
And she doesn't see many people, so I have more contact, so I can be more sure that she will fall in love with me. ”
"What Childe said is that it is simpler now, but I am afraid that it will be difficult later, this girl is like a wild horse, and she will ...... in the house in the future"
"She is not in good health, she has a bad temperament, she has been locked up for so many years, and when the time comes, it will be easier to find a reason to continue to be locked up.
All I want is this kind of marriage of a rich and noble family, and I don't have to raise eyebrows with her. ”
"It's still Childe who thinks it through."
The corners of the man's mouth raised, and he exhaled slowly, looking confident.
"This kind of girl who has never seen the world is the easiest to be tempted, but she is holding hands, you haven't seen her face, and she wants to talk a few times, and it is estimated that she has already been a deer in her heart."
"Childe is right, although the little one didn't see the face, but he also saw that the girl was very twisted, and he must have made a secret promise to you at this time."
"You're getting better at talking, that's good." The gentleman was very satisfied, took the remaining red fruit of Fang Cai Ning Yu and put it in his mouth, and handed the rest to the scholar who followed.
"Sir, sir......" A familiar voice came from the crowd.
The gentleman turned around and saw a maid running through the crowd, reaching out and pressing her stomach, so tired that she couldn't breathe, "Sir, where was the girl just now?" ”
"She...... She's going to buy something......"
"Sir, it's not good, you are kind-hearted, you must have been deceived by that woman, she is ......"
The maid whispered a few words in his ear, and the man's face changed instantly.
*
Ning Yu was out of breath all the way, not knowing where to go, everything here is unfamiliar, most of the slender alleys look similar, and what's worse is that the alleys are crooked and twisted, and there is no direct direction.
This made Ning Yu completely lose his sense of direction after crutches and crutches inside, as if he had entered a maze and it was difficult to find an exit.
"Follow one direction to the end, first onto the main road, and you will find a place to rent a carriage." Ning Yu thought, his footsteps didn't dare to stop, and he was so anxious that he ran in one direction.
The sun has set, Ning Yu is still in the alley and has not come to the end, there are always some crooked forks in the road, so that she has no choice, even if she wants to go in one direction, she feels that after walking for a long time, there is still a deviation.
It was getting dark, and the people who worked began to return to their homes in the alley, and the number of people in the alley gradually increased.
This kind of old alley must be the neighbors who know each other, and they will also notice the appearance of new faces.
In order not to be discovered and cause unnecessary trouble, Ning Yu could only hide in Tibet, but the good news was that it was already dark.
But the bad news is that it's already dark.
The alley in the night was more like a huge labyrinth, and Ning Yu had been circling for a long time, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and only then did he come to a street that looked like the main road.
"Buns, pies......"
"Twist...... Meatball soup ......"
The cries of the small traders were getting closer and closer, the light of the oil lamp was flickering, and Ning Yu reached out to touch his money bag, but he didn't touch it.
"Broken...... I ran too fast along the way, and I didn't know where I could land......" Ning Yu looked back at the dark alley.
I finally got around, and now there is only moonlight on the road, where to find it? How to find it?
"Gurr......" her stomach was still screaming, Ning Yu reached out and touched the rattan flower hairpin on her bun, which barely stopped, and landed on the gold-inlaid jade hairpin.
She took down this small but expensive hairpin, the jade on it is transparent and colorful, it is a rare good material, it was rare to find before, and now it is even more difficult.
After hesitating for a moment, she put the hairpin back on her bun, but took off a piece of jade pendant hanging in front of her, and looked at the pawnshop not far away, where the red lantern at the door of the pawnshop was shining red.
Ning Yu walked towards the pawnshop, there were very few people on the road, and the occasional people eating at the roadside stalls were all men, and almost none of them were seen with a young woman like Ning Yu.
"There's no end to it." The door of the pawnshop was open, and you could see that there was a lamp inside, and the shopkeeper was sitting inside.
The suffering of the world will never be merciful because of the silence of the night. Suffering, on the other hand, makes people's hearts more fragile in the dark night.
This is also the reason why other large stores are closed at night, only pawnshops, and even late at night, they will leave a small door and turn on a small dim light.
Where is the light that is not clear, it is clearly the last hope of the desperate.
Ning Yu walked to the door of the pawnshop with the jade pendant in his hand, but his footsteps did not stop, but continued to walk forward, forward......
As if she hadn't seen anything, she looked ahead and passed by the pawnshop silently.
