Eighty-four, night market
The restaurant is located at the easternmost entrance of the night market, and the west entrance at the other end is near the Qiongyu Pavilion. There are countless branch roads and shops in the night market that leads to this east, and all the shops in the entire night market will open every night, and there will even be merchants outside the shops who set up stalls on the spot. This street is not only home to a variety of shops, but also a large number of vendors. The lights are bright, so it's not lively.
Before it gets completely dark, the night market has already begun. Yazhi turned the folding fan in his hand and walked leisurely in front, his eyes kept looking at the surrounding street shops.
Xie Yun saw that he seemed to be fine, so he didn't say anything, just followed behind. He saw the gauze wrapped around Yazhi's hand, and each finger was wearing a ring, and he recalled that he had seen Yazhi's strange dress in Nalan's house when he was a child, and couldn't help but ask Yazhi curiously. Yazhi simply told him to practice a fingering technique and twisted his fingers, and Xie Yunxi didn't think much about it at that time. Now that he thinks about it, he seems to have never seen Yazhi use fingering, and he is also a little skeptical of Yazhi's flawed statement, but Xie Yunxi didn't ask him directly.
Recently, Bronze inquired and learned that after he left Kaifeng Mansion on weekdays, he would go to Ziyunfang and stay until midnight before leaving. Bronze inquired about the people up and down the workshop on the pretext of taking the clothes of the palace, but he didn't expect Zhang Ziyun to hinder him intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that Yazhi does have some ulterior secrets, Bronze immediately told Xie Yunxi, Xie Yunxi just smiled after hearing it, didn't say any more, and set off to find Yazhi.
They walked around for about half an hour, and the sky was already dark, and the lights in the street were gradually turning on. When Wen Zixiao passed by a shop, he suddenly stopped and called out to Ya Zhen.
Yazhi noticed him and looked at the name of the shop, "Treasure Hall", when suddenly a faint meow of a cat came from inside. Wen Zixiao was very curious about this shop, and immediately rushed in before Yazhi could speak.
Xie Yun saw Wen Zixiao enter, walked up to Yazhi and said, "He seems to be very interested in this family." ”
"This is it. ”
"You've been here?" Xie Yunxi glanced at him.
"I've just heard of it. After that, Yazhi entered the house: "Zhishui, she likes small animals. ”
The store is so big, it is full of cages of different sizes, flowers, birds, insects, fish, rare and exotic beasts, and there are often rare beasts from all over the world in the store, these are invisible in the Central Plains, and of course the price is also expensive. That's why the store is called "Treasure Hall". It is said to be a museum, and it is indeed famous, and it is the largest and most comprehensive store selling animals and plants in Kyoto.
To be honest, Xie Yunxi also came to this store once, and the appearance of the store also shocked him a little, but he didn't show it. As soon as Wen Zixiao entered the store, he disappeared, and Yazhi secretly exclaimed, this night market really has everything.
When the shopkeeper saw Xie Yunxi, he immediately received them and began to slowly introduce his products. The shopkeeper is an old man in his sixties, who looks very energetic and has a relatively gentle temperament: "The little prince is really shining when he comes to this store, and he is the shopkeeper of this store, what do you need, I have everything here." ”
Xie Yun saw that he said that he had everything, and aroused a trace of interest, so he introduced it to him. Shopkeeper Wang was also very enthusiastic and took Xie Yunxi to go shopping.
"You see this is a thing from the southwest, poisonous spiders, scorpions, toads, snakes, ......"
"This is a lizard from the Western Regions, and there are several types of lizards. Look at this discoloration, or this earthy color......"
Xie Yunxi turned his head and whispered to Yazhi: "I don't think girls like this......"
Yazhi saw it for a moment and felt a miracle: "That's right." ”
"Of course, some of the common ones in the Central Plains, such as this kind of rabbit...... Generally, this kind of rabbit also depends on the situation, and the lop ear is the most precious. It's all caravans brought in from outside. "The king's shopkeeper caught a white rabbit from the cage.
Xie Yunxi looked at the red-eyed white rabbit in his hand, the rabbit seemed to be scared, and his legs jumped out of the control of the king's shopkeeper. Yazhi quickly took over the little white rabbit that had escaped from the king's shopkeeper's hand, he straightened up and put the white rabbit ring between the crook of his arm, and gently stroked the white rabbit's head with his other hand.
"How is this rabbit?" Xie Yun saw that he Yazhi liked it a little, so he asked him.
"Although rabbits are easy to raise, they have very little interaction with people, so they are not very suitable. Yazhi immediately handed over the white rabbit in his arms to the king's shopkeeper, and the originally quiet rabbit immediately struggled, and the shopkeeper put the rabbit back in the cage.
Xie Yunxi walked in front of Yazhi: "Actually, there are quite a few rabbits like this in the palace. ”
"It's all meat rabbits raised in the back kitchen, it's different from this. Yazhi gave him a blank look.
Xie Yunxi laughed after hearing this: "You are just like this rabbit, you are white, and you all eat vegetarian food, and even your temperament is the same." ”
Yazhi ignored him, but saw a box sewn on all sides on the side, and in this box was some wood chips, and three silver-haired animals were rolling. Yazhi took a closer look, and the little creature looked like a mouse, with a silver-gray body and a silver-gray line on its back.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?" Yazhi was a little curious about this little thing.
"It's a hamster. This is different from mice, which is better looking than rats and is clean. Shopkeeper Wang patiently explained.
Yazhi had never seen anything like this before, staring at the hamsters in this box. One hamster suddenly ran over and stuffed the grain in the other hamster's hand into his mouth and ran, and the two hamsters hugged each other and fought, and the innocent hamsters were hit together. They didn't seem to have any memory of what they were fighting, and finally the hamster who grabbed the food quietly crawled out of the "battlefield", and the only mouse stole the grain in the corner of the box.
Yazhi pointed to the hamster who grabbed the food, and said to Xie Yunxi: "This rat dominates one side." You're just like this rat, aren't you, Jiangbei Xiaobawang. ”
Xie Yunxi looked at the fighting hamsters in the box, heard Yazhi mention his nickname, and said a little angrily: "Since you dare to say that I am a little mouse." ”
"I didn't say you were, just a metaphor. "Yazhi said it very lightly.
"If I would buy that white rabbit and name it Ah Zhi, I would let it be in my hands every day, and it would be inseparable from my control. Xie Yunxi said solemnly.
"If you buy a white rabbit, then I will definitely buy this rat and name it Axi. I would also cast iron to build an iron cage for it, and I would feed him whatever he fed. Let it never be free. Yazhi said this gently.
Xie Yunxi was slightly stunned in his heart, he said such a vicious word so gently, and he had a feeling of incomprehension. Bronze saw that the two began to quarrel, and forced a smile to try to play a round. Wen Zixiao appeared in front of them with an empty cage. Yazhi saw a small white and maroon cat lying on his shoulder, its eyes were different, one gold and the other blue.
"I just heard the cat's meow and couldn't help but come in, and at a glance I saw the cat with different pupils. Wen Zixiao said happily: "There are still a lot of cats in it, why don't you come and have a look." ”
"Good. Yazhi took his words and went over immediately. Although there was an introduction from the shopkeeper Wang, Yazhi was still dissatisfied, although Xie Yunxi sat down and waited and did not participate, his eyes never left Yazhi. Wen Zixiao on the side looked at Xie Yunxi's expression as if he understood something.
Suddenly, Yazhi personally opened the cage and took out a little milk cat from it, the cat's eyes were a pear blossom cat, with a black flower on its back, a white belly, and the black on its head was divided into the middle, passing through the eyes to both cheeks, and the mouth kept calling, stretching out its little white paws to support Yazhi's chest.
"It turned out to be a female cat, I want this one from the shopkeeper Wang, does it have a name?"
"This cat is less than two months old, and it hasn't come here yet. ”
"Let's go back and let Zhishui come up with a name. Xie Yunxi looked at Yazhi and said.
After leaving the Treasure Museum, there were many more people on the streets, and street performers came out one after another. Bronze led the little milk cat carefully, just when he was settling, he originally wanted to pay Wen Zixiao's one together, but he didn't expect Wen Zixiao to settle the silver earlier.
Seeing the crowd and noise in the street, Yazhi felt a little uncomfortable, and he began to sweat on his forehead, and the farther away he had gone from them, he fell last. Xie Yunxi turned around and found Yazhi's unnaturalness, frowning.
Wen Zixiao already likes to visit this night market, and when he saw street performers, he immediately ran to the front to watch. Yazhi wanted to stop him, but the distance was too far, and Wen Zixiao didn't hear his call. The rows of red lanterns on this street illuminate the black sky, making the sky also printed with a faint red. This red flickered in Yazhi's mind, and he was so frightened that he couldn't help but breathe short. Suddenly, there was a dizziness in the head, followed by a pain that felt like it was in Kaifeng Mansion today.
Xie Yunxi would look back at him every few steps, and when he turned back again, Yazhi was gone, and immediately caught up with Bronze and said, "Yazhi is gone, I'll look for him." You protect Wen Zixiao, we will meet at the old location of Tianxi Restaurant. With that, he snatched his shawl from Bronze's hand, and there was no shadow in an instant.
Xie Yunxi searched for several alleys in a row, but he didn't find anyone, and he suddenly felt remorseful in his heart, so he shouldn't let him come to the night market because of his temperament. Fortunately, he didn't go far, and after a cup of tea, Xie Yunxi found Yazhi's figure.
He hid in a narrow alley without any lights, crouched sideways against the wall, his hands on his knees, his face buried in his arms, his back to the night market. Xie Yunxi couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw him trembling, after so many years, he was still so scared. Xie Yunxi squatted down gently, put one hand on Yazhi's shoulder, and said gently: "Ah Zhi, I'm here." ”
Yazhi was not lightly frightened by Xie Yunxi's shoulder touch, he dodged a few steps earlier, and he didn't understand it at all. Xie Yun was stunned, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he became resolute: "It seems that you are going to be hard." ”
Xie Yunxi put the shawl cloak in his hand on Yazhi's head, and before Yazhi could react, Xie Yunxi grabbed it by his hand and carried it on his shoulder.
"You...... What are you doing...... Let me down......" Yazhi struggled.
Xie Yun saw that he was not honest, slapped his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will take you away from the night market." Then he worked lightly together and carried Yazhi to Tianxi Tower.
