Unsheathed Sword Chapter 66: Before Xingqing, the first waves
The fireworks in the sky were gorgeous, and colorful lights and shadows were sprinkled, reflecting colorful halos on the two of them.
In the past four years in Fengtou Mountain, Xu Huaigu also saw that group of bandits buy fireworks and set them off during the New Year, which is very festive.
In fact, it is hard to imagine how a group of people who have to rely on grabbing food and buying alcohol can only pay on credit, so how they still have the heart to buy fireworks and set off fireworks. Fireworks are expensive and impractical, and seem to mean nothing to them.
Xu Huaigu knew that they were to please Feng'er, so he bought it. But on the other hand, isn't it their own love of fireworks and yearning for that ideal and colorful life?
In any case, the scene of everyone setting off fireworks together at that time was really reassuring. Even Xu Huaigu, who has been wary of each other, and Wang Daya, the big boss of Fengtou Mountain, will let go of their estrangement and truly integrate into the joy of it in that atmosphere.
Yu Qin grew up in the Astragalus Mountains since she was a child, and she has never seen the outside world, and she doesn't even know what fireworks are. The first time I saw this firework, I only felt that the sky was extraordinarily gorgeous, as if there was a flowing fire falling into the sky, and I was in a fairyland.
Yu Qin was intoxicated, feeling that everything around her had nothing to do with her, and only the beautiful bloom under the night sky was left in her eyes.
She asked a little cautiously, "Xingqing won't be a place where immortals live, right?" How could there be such a beautiful thing, could it be that this is the spell of the gods? ”
Xu Huaigu almost didn't laugh and turned over, and said, "Of course not, this is far worse than the immortal's spell." This thing is called fireworks, and it is a colorful head invented in the world to celebrate festivals and grand occasions, and it has a good omen, and everyone loves this thing. Today, I don't know if it's a festival in Xingqing City or a big event, so the fireworks will be set off. ”
Yu Qin seemed to be touched by something, and she whispered, "Fireworks...... Fireworks, what a good name. Like smoke, it is unattainable, and like a flower, it is beautiful but fleeting, and it dissipates without a trace...... Even if this firework is just a thing in the world, the person who named it must also be a god. ”
Xu Huaigu was also intoxicated when he saw the intoxication on Yu Qin's face and these words.
Yu Qin's side face flickered under the fireworks, her hair moved slightly, and there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes. Xu Huaigu suddenly felt that Yu Qin seemed so far away for a moment, and he was unconsciously a little scared, afraid that Yu Qin would leave him like this.
Xu Huaigu subconsciously grabbed her hand and whispered: "If I can one day, I will definitely take you to see the most beautiful fireworks in the world, just ask you not to leave me." ”
Yu Qin didn't break free, and replied in a low voice: "Okay." ”
The wild goose flies for a long time, and the fish and dragon dive into the water.
This year, Qishui made a promise to see the most beautiful fireworks in the world.
......
The next day, Xingqing finally arrived, the two were a little excited, Yu Qin and Xu Huaigu got up early in the morning. After extinguishing the fire, he went straight to the ferry by the water.
This Xingqing port is no match for the ferry port in Binxi City, which is the largest water transport hub in the southern inland area of East Fuyao Chau. This ferry port alone can be the size of half of the city in the western part of the city, and the degree of prosperity is naturally not the same.
This ferry port is the confluence of a river called Changyang River and Qishui in the east of Dongfuyaozhou, which flows through Xingqing on the upper part and Qishui on the lower part of the Qishui that flows through the northern half of Dongfuyaozhou, and the trade is very frequent. And as a major country, the standard of transactions here is very high. Not only ordinary people do business here, but even some monks do business here.
Of course, the business done between the monks is naturally also a magic weapon of the spirit weapon, an immortal treasure such as a talisman elixir. Although it is said that monks are detached from the mundane, after all, monks also have different needs among themselves, and they also have to barter to make money.
Along with this huge ferry, there are also many porters and sailors who make a living from the ferry. With this stable population settling here, the ferry port continued to develop in the direction of the city, and all kinds of shops gradually opened up, and gradually developed into a small city.
Since Yu Qin was entering the city for the first time and was very curious about everything, Xu Huaigu took Yu Qin to wander around this ferry that was not a city but was better than a city, and then visited the shops in the local market.
He also used his dagger for a long time, which had long been in tatters, and exchanged it for a few taels of silver, so that he could have money to eat. Although that dagger is said to be an ordinary artifact, it is also Xu Huaigu's first weapon, and it has been used for several years.
However, this ferry port is not a safe place, and along the way, Xu Huaigu saw the eyes of many people looking back because of Yu Qin's pretty face, and some of them obviously had evil smiles on the corners of their mouths.
However, Xu Huaigu's eyes glared back even more viciously. Those people also seemed to be a little jealous of the two swords on Xu Huaigu's body, or the killing intent faintly revealed in Xu Huaigu's eyes, so they didn't dare to make too much of it, but after looking at it twice, they left in a hurry.
However, after all, there are still people who don't have long eyes.
Not long after the sun rose, in a shop on the side of the street, Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin were eating wontons, but they saw a man dressed very charmingly walked straight into the store and asked for a pot of wine. The man was tall and lanky, wearing a bright red carved coat with a jasmine flower tied around his sideburns.
His steps were vain, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a sense of frivolity.
As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper, who had been boredly looking at a small lamp at the counter because business was not doing well, immediately showed a look of surprise. He immediately greeted him and complimented: "Why does Xu Gongzi have time to come to my small shop today?" What do you want to eat, or a bowl of ravioli? ”
It seems that this man is still a powerful man at this ferry. The person called Xu Gongzi who was the shopkeeper ignored the shopkeeper, but strode directly in the direction of Xu Huaigu.
Xu Huaigu felt something in his heart, knowing that this man's intentions must be unkind, but the chopsticks in his hand still kept stopping, and he seemed light and light.
The man walked to Xu Huaigu's side, and then smiled and said gently to Yu Qin, "I don't know if I can sit opposite the two?"
Only then did Yu Qin stop her chopsticks, glanced at the bewitching man suspiciously, and then said to the vacant seats around her: Aren't there so many seats? Why are you sitting across from us?
The man smiled and said, "Let's eat a wonton, it's more lively, and it's not bad to get to know each other." ”
Then he introduced himself: "My name is Xu Guonan, I don't know what the girl's surname is?" ”
Yu Qin looked up, still a little confused, not knowing how to deal with this scene. This bewildering eyebrow style fell into Xu Guonan's eyes, and it tickled his heart a little.
Xu Guonan's family was originally a businessman in Xingqing, and he can also have a name in this huge Xingqing City, which is already very good, enough for him to squander it wantonly.
Originally, his main family was in Xingqing City, but Xu Guonan grew up spoiled since he was a child, and his temper was extremely arrogant. He was originally in Xingqing City, and when he did that kind of gentleman's behavior, he had to be pressed by those bigger merchants. For this, he was quite unconvinced, so he simply bought a pavilion at this ferry, and often came here to bully men and women through his family background, but he became a little bully in the ferry.
His temper is also quite eccentric, he likes to dress up as a woman, and often wears a hairpin on the street. He also likes young women who are as gentle as water the most on weekdays, and those in the green building are those that he will never look down on, and only like women who are innocent in body and mind, preferably before they are in their prime. He also had a quirky for young women whom he had his eye on, and he not only wanted to flirt, but also liked to have them dance in men's clothes, and to have fun.
This morning, I learned from a dogleg that there was a girl with quite clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes in the ferry, and she looked like she had never seen the world, so she should have entered the city from some mountain. Naturally, he was interested and hurried to take a look.
As for their statement that a man with a sword was following the beautiful girl, he naturally disdained it, and even thought that the man was an eyesore. Those beautiful girls, where is a village swordsman worthy of it? Naturally, it should all be his.
As for the man's sword, it doesn't matter if others are afraid, but he has a powerful family, and there is a monk by his side to protect him at all times, where will there be any danger? It's always just when he bullies others and isn't being bullied.
Xu Huaigu saw that Yu Qin looked embarrassed, so he stopped his chopsticks, his face was indifferent, and he was about to reach out to take the sword that was flat on the table without saying a word. When the man saw this, his face was displeased, and his tone was not good: "What is this little brother going to do?" I don't have anything to do with you when I'm talking to this girl, do I? ”
However, when he spoke to Yu Qin, he regained his smile and said, "The girl is a newcomer here, right?" I don't have any other skills, but I'm also an old acquaintance at this Xingqing ferry, why don't I take you around here? ”
Yu Qin felt that the man was dressed up bewitchingly and looked weird, so she shook her head and refused.
Xu Guonan frowned, and said unhappily: "I can afford you to talk to you well, I really think I can't move you?" ”
After speaking, the corners of his mouth went up, and he wanted to reach out to stroke Yu Qin's hair.
Xu Huaigu raised his head, took the sword and shook his hand away, glanced at him viciously, and said coldly: "Give you ten breaths, get out." ”
Xu Guonan put away his smile, his bewitching face looked hideous at this time, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xu Huaigu's obstruction,
He said angrily: "What a big breath! There are few people on this happy ferry who dare to say such things to me, what capital do you have! ”
Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows slightly, completely ignoring his threat, and replied coldly: "There are still eight breaths." ”
