Chapter 115: Seeing Lust?
Because there are a large number of people from the Eastern Continent coming and going in Cape City, they can't see too much of the customs of the Western Continent, but when Xiao Ming and the others left Cape City, a kind businessman who was on the same road with them saw that the five of them came to the Western Continent for the first time, and saw that the four daughters of Tifa were young and beautiful, so he kindly reminded the five people.
"If you don't want to interfere too much, the four girls should cover their faces with a light veil. If the five of you have money, it is best to rent a carriage alone. Don't take a common carriage!"
The businessman was already fifty or sixty years old, and his long career on the move made him look far older than many of his peers, but the gaze of the gentleman made Xiao Ming and the five of them feel cordial, and they gladly responded to the old businessman's reminder.
However, Xiao Ming and the others still underestimated the difference between the customs and customs of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent. Their intention was to go to the nearest town to buy a carriage after separating from the old merchants. As for the dress-up, the five of them felt that it was not necessary. I didn't know that just such a thought caused a lot of trouble.
Xicheng is located 700 miles northwest of Haijiao City, and is the largest city within a radius of 10,000 miles.
The people of the Western Continent are fierce and unrestrained, so even the people of the sect will not honestly cultivate in the mountains and forests, and the strongest three major sects in the Western Continent have united to establish a mercenary guild, set up guild branches in major towns, accept and issue various tasks, and it is the choice for almost all martial artists in the Western Continent to cultivate and make money.
Xiao Ming and the five came to Xicheng in the evening, and after separating from the old businessman, the five found an inn to settle down and had dinner. I heard that there is a night market lantern festival. The five of them happily went.
Xicheng is not small. Covering an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers, even in the city, if there is no transportation, you have to walk for a day or two. Fortunately, the night market lantern festival is not far from Xiao Ming's guest house, and they will arrive after walking for half an hour.
In the Outer Eight Star Zone, the Lantern Festival has long been replaced by various holographic projections. Ancient ice lanterns like this can only be seen by the Ancient Domain Star. At this time, it was the coldest time of the year in the Western Continent, and huge ice cubes were available everywhere, and this lantern festival was not organized by the three sects that controlled Xicheng. Rather, it was spontaneous among the people.
Some of the ice lanterns are actually children's tricks, and of course there are some gorgeous ice lanterns that are the work of major artists.
No matter which one it is, it has a great attraction to Xiao Ming and the five people who have never seen ice lanterns before.
The ones who had the most fun were naturally Yingluo and Ilti. Both girls are innocent, the attraction of the ice lamp to them is simply deadly, and the mischievous Ilti even licks an ice sculpture that looks white and chubby with her tongue. The result, of course, was a scream on which the tongue was frozen. It caused other passers-by to be shocked and amused. In the end, a little ice sculpture was melted with warm water, which saved this naughty girl.
The people of the Western Continent are bold and unrestrained, so they have a very high tolerance for "soil buns" like Ilti and Yingluo, although the two women made a lot of jokes. But in the end, it just caused a wry laugh from others.
Of course, the two women are loved. The appearance of flowers in bloom is also one of the reasons.
"Master, a few guys have been with us for a long time!" Taking advantage of Yingluo and Ilti going to play the igloo again, Jelly reminded Xiao Ming in his heart.
"Yes, I found out. Could it be the one who formed the association?" Xiao Ming's soul searching technique had already discovered the other party, but he didn't squeak all the time.
"I don't think so, from the analysis of the other party's actions and looks, they may be interested in seeing the color!" Jelly's psychology and behavioral attainments are not low.
"Interested in seeing color?" Xiao Ming's IQ is very high, but his EQ is terrifyingly low. This guy is a wooden man, even if the most beautiful woman in the world strips naked in front of him, his first thought is whether the other party has some conspiracy, and he will never think of anything else. Such a person wants him to understand what "seeing color is", which is really a little difficult for him.
"Hee-hee, they're just trying to do something bad to the four of Tifa!" Jelly snickered as she covered her mouth. Of course, she knew that her master didn't understand this, and she didn't understand it seriously, so she had the intention of leading Xiao Ming crookedly.
"Kill them!" Xiao Ming's eyes sank, and he said murderously.
For him, the safety of the people around him is his biggest taboo.
"What's wrong?" Tifa was quite sensitive to Xiao Ming's feelings, and immediately sensed his feelings, and stopped and asked.
"Tifa, I'll tell you......" Jelly smiled and told what had happened.
Tifa couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry too much about this kind of guy, see what they want to do." If you do it, clean it up. If you just follow, forget it!" I don't know if it's influenced by Ji Qiaoyu, Tifa and Jelly will consciously or unintentionally maintain Xiao Ming's ignorance of it.
Although Xiao Ming didn't understand, he still listened to Tifa's advice and ignored the people who followed him. Until the end of the lantern festival, the five of them returned to the inn.
There was nothing to do all night, Xiao Ming felt even more strange in his heart, but he didn't ask much, he got up early the next morning, and after packing up, the five of them were ready to buy a carriage and then leave Xicheng. I didn't know that I had just come out of the room and came to the door, but I found that there were nearly 100 people around the door, all dressed in red and green.
At the head was an old woman dressed in red and green, with a black forehead sticking to the corner of her forehead who didn't know what it was, she looked seventy or eighty years old, even with the lifespan of modern people, it could be regarded as "more than half a hundred years old", not to mention that the Oriental people of the Ancient Domain Star did not like genetic adjustment, if the cultivation was not high, the lifespan was far less than that of the Eight Stars of the Outer Regions.
Although the old woman is old, her spirit is surprisingly good, her face is like a red tide, her mouth is open, she is missing two front teeth, and she smiles like a chrysanthemum.
In addition to the flute in the musical instrument team, none of the other musical instruments Xiao Ming and the five people know each other, all of them are the oldest stories, which can be traced back to the earth era about a thousand years ago, where do Xiao Ming and the five people know?
Although I don't know each other, the five people of this musical instrument team know the tune, because during the time I stayed in the Xiao family, someone in the Xiao family happened to get married, and the five of them went to see the excitement, so they also knew these tunes - what a hundred birds and a phoenix, what a bride, a dressing table, a hundred years of good harmony and the like. All of them are traditional tunes that the Star of the Ancient Domain must have when they get married.
Good or bad is secondary, the movement is definitely not small, and it is very lively.
After the musical instrument team, there is a team carrying boxes and gifts, a total of seventy or eighty people, large and small, a total of forty or fifty boxes, all of which are gifts that will only be used for some weddings, mostly red, a jubilant color.
In front of everyone is a young man, who refuses to be twenty-seven or eighteen, and his appearance is not bad, he is worthy of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his handsome man is extraordinary. The outgoing spiritual power also showed that his level was as high as A-level, wearing a gold-edged red robe, a long knife hanging from his waist, and a folding fan with a mud and gold fan in his hand.
If you just look at these, everyone has to praise "What a young man, what a genius!"
But when you look at this guy carefully, you can find that he has a wine-colored face, puffy bags under his eyes, a light expression, and weak steps.
At this time, this young man stood in front of the person with a proud face, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yingluo, and the blind man could see the obscenity.
"Oh, congratulations, congratulations!" The old woman stepped forward with her old waist twisted at this time, staring at Xiao Ming, but the words in her mouth were directed at Yingluo: "Congratulations, little lady, Lord Huang Junchun has come to the door with a serious eight hundred door-to-door proposals, the little lady is going out to meet a nobleman, and suddenly the high-flying branches have become phoenixes!"
Where would Yingluo deal with such a scene, she was so frightened that she hid behind Xiao Ming and didn't dare to show her head at all.
Xiao Ming frowned and looked at the three daughters of Tifa, who were also confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
When the old woman saw Xiao Ming and the others confused, she showed her yellow teeth and smiled: "Yo, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on, let me tell you a good talk!" You don't know. That Huang Junchun is a harm to my Xicheng, yesterday at the Lantern Festival, he saw that the little lady behind you was shocked, and he wanted to occupy it. Because I was afraid that you would have an identity background, I thought of such a solution. Although the old man disdains him, the young grandson of the family is accused by him and has to do it. If the little brother has a big identity background, speak out now and scare off this Huang Junchun. If you don't have a background, then you have to think twice, then Huang Junchun's father is the master of Ying Shunmen, and Ying Shunmen is the strongest of the three sects that control Xicheng!"
Although this old woman is not likable, she is a kind person at heart, and she has no choice but to be the matchmaker who is forced to marry. And although she is old, she is not confused at all, and she speaks quickly and urgently, but she is well organized.
After finishing speaking, her face changed back to that exaggerated smile, and she said loudly: "Alas, this little brother, you are very blessed." Hurry up and agree! Huang Junchun's son is a noble man in our nine towns and ten miles! Your sister is a concubine for Huang Gongzi, that is a great blessing!"
It turned out that when Xiao Ming and the others went into the city to report, they still used the fake name they gave Ning He last time. Huang Junchun just looked at this fake name, and when he saw the names Xiao Ming and Xiao Yingluo, he took it for granted that the two were brother and sister. Of course, the surname Xiao is also a bit of a deterrent, so he came up with such a solution.
Hearing Mrs. Huang's words, Huang Junchun couldn't find his eyes with a smile.
Xiao Ming actually didn't understand Huang Matchmaker's words too clearly, but Jelly understood, so he explained to him. Therefore, Xiao Ming also knew the current situation.
With a faint smile, Xiao Ming looked at Huang Junchun.
"You, want to marry my wife?" (to be continued......)
