Chapter 43, handsome and lewd people
Walking on the post road on the border of the somewhat desolate Liang country, surrounded by the bleak wind, and the sun shining overhead. Just after spring, there are still some green buds in the bare soil on the side of the road, and some white flowers are scattered in the middle, which can be regarded as filling in the monotonous world.
Xu Ming originally thought that Weiwu Town should be a lonely city like an aspen towering in the desert. But in fact, when the desert was left far behind, the mighty town that came into view turned out to be a rich town covered in fields. Outside the city are thousands of acres of fertile fields, and there are still strong offspring working in the fields. A clear river runs around the city, the fish swim in the middle of the river, the river tinkles, and the riverside is the laughter of the girls and the sound of the children.
The city gate of Weiwu Town was wide open, and there were two sleepy guards at the door, watching all kinds of people in and out dozing, and they didn't charge, and they didn't interrogate, Xu Ming felt that it was even better to put them here than to put two stone lions aside.
"This mighty town is a little different from what I thought!" Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan were still a little apprehensive when they entered the city, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the first time, looking left and right, and a little worried.
Guan Chunuan was also a little stunned, along the way, they also passed through many towns, and there had never been a town with such a wide open gate, and there were no guards patrolling the streets. Moreover, Weiwu Town is still an important border town on the border of Jingliang, and it is unfortified, in case Jingguo directly attacks it, wouldn't it be an instant city?
"The night is not closed, the road is not forgotten. Xu Ming sighed twice, "The city lord of this mighty town has something." β
Guan Chunuan tugged at Xu Ming's sleeve: "But didn't Chu Feng tell us that there are many fish and dragons in this city, and let us be more careful?" But now it seems that Mighty City is not as tricky as he said. β
Xu Ming nodded: "Indeed." But you still can't take it lightly, after all, this is an important border town, and everyone has it. If I'm right, I'm going to have a delicate balance under some pressure. β
"But it has nothing to do with us, I'll go tomorrow to inquire about the shaman of the Wu clan, stay here for a day or two and then leave. I always felt like something was going to happen here. Xu Ming looked at the gradually gloomy sky, "It's better for us to be less involved in these things." β
Guan Chunuan looked at Xu Ming, his eyes were erratic, he didn't know what he was thinking, and it took a while to react and say, "Okay." β
This was Xu Ming's first rain after coming to Liangguo. The rain in early summer was not heavy, but it was not as silky as the spring rain, and Xu Ming walked on the stone road of Weiwu Town with an umbrella.
Weiwu Town is adjacent to the Hetao Plain and is a battleground for soldiers. After Jingliang formed an alliance, there has been no war for a long time. Xu Ming walked in the city, feeling that this town was not like a frontier town, but like a simple and gentle small city in the south of the Yangtze River, which was very different from the mighty town in "The Secret of the Five Continents". The history books of Jingliang and the two kingdoms record that this ancient town has experienced the war, and I don't know how many unjust souls are buried under this stone road!
Xu Ming stood on a stone bridge in the city, holding on to the stone railing, watching the river under the bridge be stirred up one small blister after another.
How long will it take to find her? Xu Ming never doubted the hexagram that Gao Dazhuang had calculated for himself, and he never regretted choosing to embark on this road to the north. "Even if I break my bones, even if I die nine times, I will still go all the way north. Walk the path you have walked, blow the wind that you have blown, until I finally meet you again. β
"Oops, it hurts!" Just when Xu Ming was about to fall into a state of hypocrisy and couldn't extricate himself, a girl's cry of pain pulled him back to reality.
Xu Ming looked behind him and saw a girl in a green skirt rubbing her ass and sitting under a low bridge, and there was an oil-paper umbrella on the bridge. The girl's brows were furrowed, and her expression was very painful, and her skirt was soaked by the rain, revealing a well-developed figure.
I'm afraid I'm afraid I've slipped from the bridge to the bottom! Xu Ming looked at the girl and blushed slightlyβwho doesn't like beautiful girls? Besides, his IQ is not high.
Xu Ming smiled and walked over to pick up the girl's umbrella and prepared to send it to her.
"Look at what!" The girl raised her eyes and looked at the bridge, and saw Xu Ming, who was looking at her on the bridge, and showed a somewhat obscene smile in her opinion, and said with some annoyance: "Dengzi, return my umbrella to me!"
Xu Ming is a very troublesome and broad-minded person, if he usually encounters this kind of thing, he will directly return the umbrella to the girl and leave. But it happened that he had just experienced the fierce "battle between heaven and man", and his mind was not yet calm, Xu Ming subconsciously took two steps back, and then raised the umbrella high.
"I'm not a disciple. Xu Ming said to the girl very seriously, "I'm a good person." β
The girl was a head shorter than Xu Ming, and she couldn't reach the umbrella in Xu Ming's hand even though she stretched out her hand. She pouted angrily, and crossed her hands on her hips: "Are you still a good person, I think you look like a rascal, return the umbrella to me, or I will shout indecent!"
Xu Ming sighed: "How can you talk nonsense at a young age, when did I insult you?"
The girl smiled slyly: "You insulted me on the bridge, and when I resisted, my feet slipped and I fell under the bridge!"
Xu Ming took a breath: "A little girl, how old is she, why is it so bad?
"It doesn't matter how old I am, hurry up and return the umbrella to me, or I'll call it!" the girl stretched out her hand towards Xu Ming, "Let's see if everyone believes me or not." β
"Heh!" Xu Ming's temper came, "I'm afraid that you are a little girl?
"Help, there's someone here...... Uh-huh"
"You're really shouting!"
Xu Ming covered the girl's mouth and hid on the roof of the house next to her. Watching the people who rushed to hear the sound disperse, they fell to the ground and let go of the girl.
"Woo woo woo ......" The girl who escaped Xu Ming's clutches suddenly cried, making Xu Ming a little overwhelmed.
Xu Ming couldn't see the girl crying the most, he looked left and right at a loss, and suddenly remembered the umbrella in his hand, he handed the umbrella to the girl: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to really shout." No, no, I shouldn't have snatched your umbrella. No, no, I shouldn't have ......" Xu Ming relieved himself: "Why are you crying!"
"You scoundrel, you insult me!" the girl cried as she prayed, "Woo woo." β
Xu Ming was also very helpless: "Where did I insult you, besides, you also said nonsense first!"
"I don't care, if I'm pregnant, you'll be responsible!" The girl took the umbrella, glared at Xu Ming viciously, and ran away.
Xu Ming looked at the back of the girl who was rushing away, and was completely confused: "Pregnant, why are you pregnant?"
Xu Ming didn't care about such a small episode. In his opinion, it is a little girl who is ignorant of the world, probably taught by a daughter to accuse her father or sister to control her brother, thinking that she will get pregnant if she is touched by a man. When she got home and told his parents, she should have known.
Xu Ming stayed in Weiwu Town for two days, and did not inquire about the whereabouts of the Wu Shaman and Tang Jinling, so he packed his bags and prepared to continue north.
At noon, Xu Ming and Guan Chunuan were eating in the lobby of the inn, and they heard the people at the next table talking about an interesting thing.
"What do you say has happened these days, why have the guards of the City Lord's Mansion started looking for people all over the street, is it the servants of the City Lord's Mansion who have committed a crime?"
"Do you still use such a big battle to deal with the servants who are committing crimes?" the thinner man shook his head, "I guess it's looking for a spy from Jingguo or some monks from the Immortal Cultivation Sect." β
"You're stupid too, how can you go out of your way to find a spy?" spoke the only woman among the three, a woman who was born strong, no more than a big nose, with short ear-length hair messed up, but a sweet voice.
The big nose snorted, and a stream of turbid air visible to the naked eye spurted out of his nostrils: "Then what do you say is going on?"
The strange man smiled a little proudly: "The old lady has a distant cousin who is a subordinate in the city lord's mansion, and I heard her say that the small county is looking for a handsome and obscene man. β
The thin man sighed, "Handsome and obscene, why was the monkey taken away the night before yesterday?"
"Didn't the monkey be released again not long after!" the big nose seemed to be speaking with his nose in every word, and his heavy nasal voice could be heard.
"A few days ago, the guards arrested a lot of obscene people and went back, but the county lord said that it was too ugly, not what she was looking for, and the person she was looking for was quite handsome. "The monster has the Nth hand of information, so she has the initiative to the topic, and she is a little fluttering at the table next door, grinning at the corner of her mouth, her voice is very good, but Xu Ming, who has always liked good voices, has a trace of discomfort.
"No, last time, that little girl was the daughter of the city lord of Mighty Town!" Xu Ming's mind popped up with such an idea.
"It's very possible!" "The more Xu Ming thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong, handsome and obscene, this was not him!
"Bah, bah, I'm obscene with a hammer, this little girl is spreading rumors everywhere!" Xu Ming hated it.
In the past few days in Weiwu Town, Xu Ming also knew the secret of such a peaceful situation in Weiwu Town-the city lord of Weiwu Town is the descendant of Li Yu, the fifth duke of the founding of Liangguo, Li Mu, the master of returning to the virtual realm. He suppressed all the forces in Weiwu Town with absolute strength, and the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment, leaving no stone unturned, and he was an admirable master.
"That's a bit tricky. Xu Ming groaned, "I don't know if I can safely get out of Weiwu Town now, I'll go to the city gate to see it first!"
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu. Just as he was thinking about it, a small guy dressed in a subordinate costume came in from outside the door, looked left and right in a panic, and then walked quickly to the next table with a big nose on their table.
"Don't worry, what's the matter, say it slowly. The thin man nodded at the little guy and sat him down.
The little guy didn't dare to sit down, so he leaned down and whispered in the thin man's ear. The thin man's face suddenly changed, and he looked a little anxious and flustered. He beckoned to settle the bill, and left the inn with the big nose and the monster.
"Chu Feng was arrested. Xu Ming looked at Guan Chunuan, who looked confused, and continued to pick up vegetables slowly.
"How do you know?" asked Guan Chunuan.
Xu Ming put down his chopsticks and sighed: "I heard it." β
