Chapter 19
"Linlang, do you eat this?" Liu Yiyi followed behind Ji Linlang, holding a bowl of bad soup in her hand.
The Shangyuan Festival is really lively, feasting and rewarding, and the carriages and horses are in Khotan. The whole city is brilliantly lit, dotted with bright lights, fire trees and star bridges.
Ji Linlang scurried around, and when she heard Liu Yiyi calling her, she immediately ran back: "Eat!" β
Then he took a bite of it with her hand, "...... Hmm, sweet. It's delicious. β
Liu Yiyi moved her hand away and glared at her: "Don't run so fast, so many people, don't find you." β
"Uh-huh." Ji Linlang nodded carelessly.
Situ Jingyuan and Xie Miao walked leisurely behind not far behind.
Ji Linlang caught a glimpse of them and waved at them excitedly: "Hey, you two go faster." β
Xie Miao shook his head helplessly, so he had to say, "Brother Situ, let's go faster." β
"Hmm." Situ Jingyuan nodded lightly.
β¦β¦
And then they got separated.
Situ Jingyuan frowned and walked in the crowd, unable to find the shadow of the three of them.
His steps were sudden, but he suddenly bumped into someone behind him, and he said softly: "I'm sorry." β
The person behind him didn't reply to him, so Situ Jingyuan raised his steps and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a hand tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Situ Jingyuan immediately turned around and swept his eyes over, but he was stunned.
I saw that the person in front of him looked so small in the crowd, with a red fox mask covering his whole face, and a black robe on his body.
Situ Jingyuan took her hand away and called her, "Ji Linlang." β
"Huh?" Ji Linlang angrily pushed the mask up, "So you can recognize it?" My money has been spent in vain. β
Situ Jingyuan stared at her eyes, "I couldn't see it, but I recognized your eyes." β
Ji Linlang pushed off the mask again in frustration, he couldn't close his eyes and walk. She remembered and looked left and right: "Yiyi and Brother Xie...... Have you found them? β
"Never." Situ Jingyuan also looked around.
"Tsk, where are you going?" Ji Linlang shook his head and grabbed the hem of Situ Jingyuan's clothes again. "I can't get lost with you anymore."
Situ Jingyuan looked down at her hand, which was white and small. He took her hand away again, and said in a very low voice, "I won't lose you." β
Oh, don't believe me.
Ji Linlang pointed around, "There are so many people, they will be squeezed out of the way." β
Situ Jingyuan pondered for a while and compromised, and gave her a piece of his sleeve: "Hmm." You drag it. β
Ji Linlang happily pulled it back with one hand, and suddenly remembered something, took out a white rabbit-style mask from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "Situ, you can bring it." β
"Why should I bring it too?"
"Conspicuous. So that we will soon be seen by them. Ji Linlang bluffed him seriously.
Situ Jingyuan put it on slowly.
As a result, there was a red fox and a white rabbit on the street.
They followed the crowd and walked onto the bridge.
Ji Linlang looked up and saw that there were many Kong Ming lanterns floating in the sky. "Situ, do you want to put one?"
Situ Jingyuan followed her line of sight, and then turned his head to look at her: "What's the matter, do you want to put one?" β
Well, this answer seems to be uninterested. Ji Linlang shrugged: "Forget it, let's go." β
"Situ, where is your home?"
"Kamisawa."
"The capital of the country. Then when you go out to travel, will you miss your family? β
"I have no father or mother, and I have been picked up by my master since I was a child. He raised me as an adult and taught me swordsmanship. Four years ago, the old man drove to the west, and now I have no worries. β
Ji Linlang was stunned when he heard this, and his hand unconsciously tightened the hem of his clothes.
It turns out that he, like me, is also an abandoned person since childhood, so pitiful.
She shook her head back to her senses, nodded her toes closer, and touched his head.
Situ Jingyuan was so caught off guard when he smelled the faint fragrance coming from the girl's body, he was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at her: "What does this mean?" β
"Comfort."
Situ Jingyuan dodged her hand, "I'm fine, I don't need this." β
Then he indifferently spit out two words: "Let's go." β
Hey, Ji Linlang pursed his lips.
But when she continued to look at him, she suddenly caught a glimpse of his reddish ears, Ji Linlang was happy, oh, this is shy.
Ji Linlang smiled and followed him.
Walking off the long bridge, there were fewer people, and Situ Jingyuan's eyes were cold: "I've been looking for a long time, why don't we go back to the inn and have a look." β
"Okay."
It was late at night, and Xiao Er was sleepy at the counter. Liu Yiyi and Xie Miao sat at the door and waited.
Ji Linlang saw it and immediately called them.
"Linlang? Situ? Liu Yiyi looked up when she heard the voice, and then looked surprised.
Ji Linlang then remembered that she and Situ were still wearing masks, and she blinked: "How is it, is it good-looking?" β
"You're okay. It's just Situ ......" Liu Yiyi's eyes were full of playfulness, and she skimmed Situ Jingyuan's direction.
It doesn't quite fit the image, haha.
Situ Jingyuan was silent, raised his hand to take off the mask, and put one hand behind his back.
"You two went back together?" Ji Linlang tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, and quietly changed the topic.
"It's not. I didn't find you, so I waited at the door by myself. Liu Yiyi pointed at Xie Miao, "Brother Xie arrived later." β
"Wow." Ji Linlang nodded knowingly.
"Well, it's not too early." Xie Miao pulled Liu Yiyi up, "Let's all rest." β
Today is the last night of the Shangyuan Festival, and people have gone home to rest after having fun. The number of vendors on the street gradually decreased, and one by one they closed their stalls and prepared to go home.
Only the lanterns floating on the river are left and I don't know where they are going.
β¦β¦
On the morning of the second day, Ji Linlang went out of the door and happened to run into Liu Yiyi.
"Good morning." Ji Linlang waved at her.
"Yo, it's early. Today, I'm going to visit Uncle Murong's Mansion with Brother Xie. Liu Yiyi winked at her, "Don't say sister, I don't care about you, I leave a world for you and Situ." β
Ji Linlang pretended to be shy, and slapped her 'gently': "What did you say." β
Liu Yiyi immediately hugged her arm: "Huh." You come less. β
Ji Linlang was serious: "That's the one you said you were going to Shentao?" β
Liu Yiyi nodded: "Yes." β
Ji Linlang smiled, and the pear vortex sank lightly: "Okay, you guys go quickly." β
Liu Yiyi raised her ears angrily: "Little has no conscience." β
Ji Linlang covered his sore ears, raised his eyes and saw Situ Jingyuan going out, and immediately hid behind him: "Help." β
Situ Jingyuan glanced at her behind him slowly, but did not move.
The tall and big figure blocked her.
Liu Yiyi didn't really want to chase her, she wasn't as naΓ―ve as her, and said to Situ Jingyuan seriously: "Brother Situ, I'll go out with Brother Xie." You take Linlang with you, don't let her run around. β
"Well, excuse me, you don't have to say anything later." Ji Linlang weakly raised a hand from behind Situ Jingyuan.
It's like I'm some kind of ignorant person.
Liu Yiyi said to her: "Shut up." Then he looked at Situ Jingyuan.
Situ Jingyuan nodded: "I know." β
Liu Yiyi nodded and walked towards the stairs, and when she passed Ji Linlang, Ji Linlang smiled at her, in exchange for a slap in the eyes of Liu Yiyi.
"Situ, where are we going today?" Ji Linlang asked him.
Situ Jingyuan turned around and lifted his eyelids to look at her: "Go to Shentao Yafu." β
"Yes, we're going to have to hand over those monsters to the yafu to deal with." These two days were forgotten.
So they went together to the Shentao Yafu. Ji Linlang said a few words to the official at the door, and the official immediately trotted to invite the Shentao County Order.
They were invited to sit down in the hall. A moment later, the prefectural order came to the hall.
Situ Jingyuan went straight to the point, untied the demon bag and handed it to a pawn: "This is the red basin." β
After hearing the county order, he hurriedly asked the officials to go to the dungeon of the demon clan.
"Hehe, the people of Quanshen Tao City on behalf of the lower officials thanked the two heroes for their dedication to Shoushen Tao. This is the bounty that the two deserve, and I hope to accept it. The county magistrate beckoned the official to take out a stack of silver tickets.
Ji Linlang's eyes brightened three points when she looked at so much money, but she still felt ashamed, and refused embarrassedly: "Thank you for receiving it, we can't stand this silver ticket." After all, we don't go to catch demons for money, it's just a gesture......"
The county magistrate only thought that she was shirking, and said with a smile: "I don't think the two heroes are like people from Shentao's own city. Don't shirk the two heroes, accept these silver tickets, and go to my Shentao's bazaar to have a look, there are a lot of treasures there......"
It's no wonder that Shentao City is so prosperous and rich, and even the county order is so good at publicizing.
The two of them were really enthusiastic about the county order, so they had to accept the stack of silver tickets.
