Chapter 13: Shaohua (5)
There are unforeseen circumstances, Ah Xiao found a new place to stay, the buttocks were not hot before they encountered the pouring rain, she quickly got up, ran to the eaves at the door of the restaurant next to them to hide from the rain, the night has gradually deepened, the restaurant has long been closed, there are few pedestrians on the road, the rain fell suddenly, everyone is running home.
Opposite the restaurant is an inn, the house is lit with candles, faintly laughter can be heard, Ah Xiao sat on the bench at the door and was about to lie down to rest, suddenly there was a call from the opposite side: "Hey!"
The sound is familiar...... Ah Xiao looked up at the inn opposite, a window on the second floor was open, and there was a woman in a white plain skirt standing by the window, the green silk was blown by the wind outside the window, she quickly raised her hand to pin the hair on her face behind her ears, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
Is that the dragon princess?
Luan Yiran smiled and shouted, "What are you doing there?"
Ah Xiao didn't plan to ignore her, sorted out her luggage and put it on the bench as a pillow, and lay down to rest when she was ready.
After a while, the door of the opposite inn suddenly opened, and Ah Xiao heard footsteps walking slowly, but she didn't open her eyes. Immediately afterwards, Ah Xiao smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, Luan Yiran ran to the door of the restaurant with an umbrella wrapped in a cloak, she closed the umbrella and leaned against the pillar, and gently walked to Ah Xiao's side and squatted.
"Why are you here?"
Ah Xiao ignored her.
"Didn't you find a place to live? There are indeed too many people today, and many inns are full of people......
Ah Xiao still ignored her.
"It's raining and it's cold, why don't you come with me, let's live together." β
Ah Xiao opened her eyes, looked at her lightly, and closed her eyes again, there is no free lunch in the world, this princess should have something else, but she is not interested.
"You've got pretty eyes. β
Ah Xiao felt annoyed in her ears and frowned slightly.
Luan Yiran saw that she didn't say a word for a long time, so she reached out and gently poked her shoulder: "Don't you stop talking, huh? Let's live together, right?"
As a princess, it is really too much for her to have such a hot face and a cold ass attached to others, but she just admires Ah Xiao very much, and it is okay to fall down from such a high mountain.
Ah Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and glared at her: "Don't touch me." β
Her eyes were as sharp as a sharp blade, so sharp that they seemed to be able to kill people, Luan Yiran was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a while, she could feel the anger and dissatisfaction in Ah Xiao's eyes, but she didn't know why she was so angry.
"You, you're finally willing to speak!" Luan Yiran covered the fear in her heart and pretended to be fine.
For dragons, sleep is actually dispensable, even if they don't sleep, they will always have abundant energy. Seeing that she was so unrelenting, if she continued to be entangled like this, it was uncertain whether she would be able to sleep tonight, so she said lightly: "I don't know you." β
Luan Yiran then smiled and said, "My name is Luan Yiran, what's your name?"
Ah Xiao didn't mean that, she sat up, sighed impatiently, and stood up with her luggage. Luan Yiran stood up with her: "Do you agree?"
Ah Xiao took out a silver ingot from her arms and handed it to her: "This is the room fee." β
Luan Yiran waved his hand: "Oh, no, no!"
"Take it. β
Luan Yiran heard the impatience in Ah Xiao's tone, and hurriedly took it, picked up the umbrella and opened it, covering her and walking to the inn together.
As soon as she came to the lobby, she saw the rude person she met today, she ran over quickly, and shouted screaming, "Why are you ......?"
Luan Yiran interrupted her: "Luo'er, she is my friend, I will sleep with her tonight." β
"What?" Luo Er shouted in surprise, she glanced up and down at Ah Xiao, obviously she was a daughter but dressed as a man, and fell from the mountain, the origin is unknown, how can she rest assured that the princess will stay with this person!
Ah Xiao didn't pay attention to that Luo'er, she had to hurry early tomorrow morning, and she didn't want to delay time here.
"Where's the room?"
Luan Yiran was making eyes with Luo Er to ask her not to talk nonsense, Ah Xiao interrupted them coldly, Luo Er lowered her head dissatisfied, she was just a maid, although she grew up with Luan Yiran and became sisters, but after all, her identities were different, and she couldn't refute anything about what the princess decided.
Luan Yiran pulled Luo Er to her side, and turned to look at Ah Xiao: "I'll take you there, go!" she said that she was about to grab Ah Xiao's arm, but she deliberately avoided it, which was inevitably a little embarrassing.
Ah Xiao walked towards the stairs, Luo Er gently grabbed the princess, and muttered: "Princess! Why do you care about her! Look at her like that, arrogant and unsightly, obviously you helped her and gave her a place to live, she actually played with you, it is clear that she doesn't know what to do!"
Luan Yiran patted her shoulder gently: "What is this, I don't care, besides, she fell from such a high mountain today, and she can still be safe and sound, presumably the level of spiritual power must not be low." β
If you can make friends with her, then you can be regarded as a reliable person on land in the future. Moreover, Luan Yiran's intuition told her that this person was not a bad person.
Luo Er was puzzled: "So what?"
Luan Yiran said: "Oh, anyway, there are not too many friends, you girl, be polite to others, I feel that her temper is not very good, if she makes her angry, I don't care." β
As soon as she finished speaking, Luan Yiran let go of Luo'er's hand and ran up the stairs in a hurry, leaving Luo'er standing helplessly and sighing. This princess is too naΓ―ve, she can't help it, she often only judges a person's good or bad based on her own preferences, she is really worried about the safety of the princess!
Ah Xiao followed Luan Yiran to the room, there was a stove burning inside, pushed open the door, a hot air rushed to her face, Ah Xiao's pale face instantly flushed a little, Luan Yiran asked Luo Er to go back to the room first, Luo Er reluctantly stomped away, Ah Xiao walked into the house and looked left and right, there was only one bed?
"Where do I sleep?" asked Xiao in a deep voice.
Luan Yiran pointed to the only bed on the right: "There!"
"What about you?"
Luan Yiran blinked, her fingers still pointing at the bed and not moving: "I'll sleep with you!"
Ah Xiao didn't say a word, immediately turned around and walked to the door, Luan Yiran hurriedly ran over, opened her arms and stopped her: "Where are you going?"
"I'm used to sleeping alone. β
Luan Yiran couldn't help her, so she asked Xiao Er to bring a new futon and make a bunk next to the bed, and Ah Xiao agreed to stay.
Ah Xiao put the luggage on the floor, sorted out the quilt and lay down directly, Luan Yiran sat at the round table with her chin in her hands, she was very surprised to see her fall asleep like this, she stood up and walked over quickly: "You, you went to bed so early, don't you take off your clothes, why don't you take off your shoes?"
Luan Yiran stood for a long time without waiting for A Xiao's answer, she sighed lightly, walked to the bed and lay down, covered the quilt and turned over to face A Xiao. Although Ah Xiao closed her eyes, she vaguely felt a pair of fiery eyes staring at her, and she had no choice but to turn over and turn her back to the bed.
......
On the branches of the sun, Luo Er came into the house with a washbasin, Ah Xiao had already left, the bed on the ground had been folded and neatly placed next to the bed, Luan Yiran was still asleep, and the room was very quiet.
Luo Er put the copper basin on the basin shelf, walked to the side of the bed and called Luan Yiran: "Wake up, it's already hour, you must rush to Ceyang today, wake up quickly." β
Luan Yiran woke up in a daze, she stretched her waist, opened her eyes and looked at Luo'er: "Well~ It's still early." β
"It's not early, the enrollment of the disciples of the Purple Star Sect will be over today!" Luo Er said and took Luan Yiran's hands and pulled her up, this princess is really worrying: "You begged the Dragon King for a long time before his old man agreed to let you come out, don't delay because you are late." β
Luan Yiran had to come to her senses, of course she knew that this opportunity was rare, after staying in the Dragon Palace for so many years, she could finally come out to practice, just in time for the three major sects to recruit disciples, if she could enter one of them, then her father would not be able to take her back.
Seeing that she sat firmly and didn't fall, Luo Er hurriedly got up and brought the basin, Luan Yiran washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and got up to change her clothes.
"Eh, that ......" Luan Yiran realized that Ah Xiao was missing, but she didn't know her name yet, so she stopped halfway through the conversation.
Luo Er naturally knew what she was going to say, pursed her lips and smiled: "I should have already left, I didn't see anyone when I came in." β
Luan Yiran nodded, and sighed with a little regret: "It's a pity that I haven't asked her name yet......
"Why do you ask her name? I've never seen such an impolite person, and I don't know how her mother taught her. β
Luan Yiran didn't speak, and she had never seen someone like A Xiao. She has been born for sixteen years now, and she has heard enough of all kinds of compliments, Ah Xiao is the first person to be so indifferent to her, Luan Yiran naturally feels novel, although she will be dissatisfied in her heart, but she is still curious about her, so she wants to make her a friend.
After coming out of Wanzhou City, there is a big road and another small road, both can lead to Ceyang, although the small road is difficult to walk, but it is closer than the big road, which can shorten a lot of time, plus there are many people on the road and noisy, Ah Xiao is annoyed, so he decisively chose to take the small road.
The trail is on the hill next to the main road, and the hunters on the mountain have built this rugged path on their own to save time, leading directly to the outskirts of Ceyang City, although it is difficult to walk, but at least the environment is good.
Ah Xiao walked briskly along the dirt road, there were trees on the left and right, there was a little dew and green leaves mixed with the fragrance of the air and birds, and birds were chirping from time to time around, quiet and leisurely, and the mood could be much more comfortable.
"Help!"
At this time, there was a cry for help from the depths of the woods on the right side of the front, Ah Xiao stopped and listened carefully, this voice was very familiar, she didn't think much about it, and continued to hurry.
Deep in the forest, Mu Yangsheng and Fei Yang were trapped in the swamp and couldn't move, he kept shouting for help, while Fei Yang was looking for a way out of the predicament.
"Help~ Someone's coming~ Someone is going to die!" Mu Yangsheng had been shouting for half an hour, his voice was hoarse, the more he shouted, the more weak he became, and he turned his head to look at Fei Yang: "Fei Yang, no one will come to this road, will we be trapped here?"
Fei Yang tried to drag a vine up, but with a slight force, the vine broke off, and the whole person sank down again. He glanced at Mu Yangsheng and said with a smile: "It is a blessing to be able to die with His Highness." β
Mu Yangsheng glanced at him, turned his head and continued to shout for help, he didn't want to die, he was still so young, so handsome, he hadn't married yet!
"Help!" Mu Yangsheng was just about to shout, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the woods, he held his breath and raised his hand to pat Fei Yang behind him: "Hey, listen, there are footsteps." β
