Chapter 17: The City Without Dreams
Liu Xiangsheng fell into the turbulent river, choked on the cold river before he could breathe, and when he was splashing in the water, he found a young man swimming towards him behind him.
Seeing this after a while, he was caught up by the young man behind him, Liu Xiangsheng was not accustomed to water, so he could only barely sink down, and he was invincible to the young man in the water.
Both of them lost a lot of strength in the water, and when the two of them were fighting along the river, they didn't notice that there was a bottomless canyon in front of them.
When the two of them found out, they couldn't get out, and with unwillingness, the two fell into the deeper canyon with the river.
This time, both of them were knocked unconscious, and once the person did not panic in the water, the buoyancy in the water was enough to carry an adult.
The two of them just floated in the river, and they didn't know how far they flowed with the river.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Xiang suddenly spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and then found that he was lying on a beach, which should have been washed here by the current.
Not far away was the boy who had been chasing and killing him, Liu Xiangsheng staggered over, and his body fell from such a high place, and the impact force brought by it could not be underestimated.
I turned the young man over, and then I saw that the young man was also handsome, and I heard that he had a wife and children, and he thought that it was the time of his life, but now he was killed by himself.
The boy's body was now getting cold, his lips were blue, and he was supposed to be drowning.
Liu Xiangsheng hurriedly pressed his chest and rescued him.
Suddenly, the young man coughed a few times and spit out the water in his chest, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Liu Xiangsheng wanted to take this opportunity to explain what happened, but who knew that the young man was about to take the knife as soon as he opened his eyes, but the knife was now unknown where it was lost, so the young man pounced and tried to fight Liu Xiangsheng hand-to-hand, but he fell to the ground after a long time of drifting and weakness
But this also frightened Liu Xiangsheng, and his originally amiable and smiling face turned into a look of panic.
"I saved you, how can you take revenge", Liu Xiangsheng took a few steps back, and when he saw that he was not a threat to himself for the time being, he stopped and asked,
"You saved me, who is the one who harmed me now that I am in this situation", the boy questioned,
"I only want to ask you one word, why did you come to take my handsome flag"
"This, I said it wasn't my intention, do you believe it", Liu Xiangsheng exaggerated the black flag on his body,
"Look", Liu Xiangsheng had a helpless expression,
At this time, the young man also believed most of it in his heart, but he had to take him back, otherwise he would not be able to wash away the shame on his body!
"I want you to go back with me, do you dare?"
"I won't bother you for no reason, just explain the reason then, and I guarantee your safety"
"What about you," Liu Xiangsheng asked, knowing what the boy would pay for it
"Own gang decision", the young man really didn't want to show a little grief and helplessness in front of this person who had harmed his life,
"If you go back, you will die, so why don't you go elsewhere, I promise you that you will personally communicate with you in the future."
"Don't worry about it, I've made up my mind, as long as you're willing to go back with me," the young man looked resolute, just like his father
Seeing this, Liu Xiangsheng had no choice but to say more, so he had to agree to his request,
There are some things, some insistences, although they are not understood, but they must be respected accordingly
It's just that the two of them don't know how far they have drifted along the river, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no other diversion, and it is impossible to go up the river and return to the same place.
The two of them had no choice but to walk out of the riverbed first, look for a place where there are people, and find out the direction before making plans.
The two men walked forward with each other's arms, occasionally passing by a few villages, only a few wild dogs barked, and did not meet a single person, looking at the wild appearance of the wild dogs, I don't know how long these villages have been deserted.
The next few villages were like this, and there seemed to be no life on this vast plain,
The two had no choice but to go on their way, cooperating with each other along the way to catch fish and birds, or find some wild fruits to keep them fed.
Now Liu Xiangsheng also knows that this young man's name is Lian Zongwu, and he is the only son of Lian Shengjie, the leader of the swordsman gang.
Finally, one day, two tired and hungry people came to a town, and there were four big characters written in front of the town - City of Dreams
At this time, both of them are unkempt, and they no longer have the handsome and chic appearance they had at the beginning, but the heroic spirit between the eyebrows and eyes has not diminished.
Since ancient times, how many people have achieved great things by virtue of their appearance?
The two of them looked at a housekeeper-like person waiting at the door, and there were several housekeepers standing behind them.
The two of them wanted to come here to beg for some food, after all, they were grateful to have a hot meal when they went out, who knows, the middle-aged man in charge saw the two of them clearly, and hurriedly ran forward, with an extremely respectful attitude,
"Dare to ask the two young heroes who are here in this city?",
"Yes, we want to beg for some food", Lian Zongwu said in a sincere tone,
"The two young heroes are polite, the head of the family has instructions, everyone who comes here is a friend of the head of the family, and they must make friends with all their might"
"Two please", the middle-aged man turned around and led the way,
When the two of them listened to this man's words, they felt strange, how could anyone in the world make friends like this, either because they had endless treasures at home, or they had other plans,
The two of them followed the steward carefully along the way, and after a while, the two found a problem again,
This city is filled with the smell of rouge, and the smell of rouge indicates that there are women, so what does such a strong rouge gouache mean,
The two walked with doubts in their hearts, and the group came to a residence along the main road in the city, with three ancient seal characters written on it, Zhaoxian Hall,
"Please," the man stood in front of the stairs, bowed forward slightly, and made a gesture of please
Liu Xiangsheng and Lian Zongwu glanced at each other, and then walked in, after this period of time, the two have learned a lot about each other, and naturally know that this place is not simple, and they are secretly on guard
As soon as I entered, I found that the simple and elegant Zhaoxian Hall was dressed in such luxury, with flying dragons and cranes, white jade pillars, and gilded floor tiles carved on the house.
There are also piles of small rockeries piled up by all kinds of strange stones, paved with all kinds of gems of different colors, forming a series of twisted paths,
Of course, there are still people in the most, a lot of people, both men and women.
Although those men were wearing silk and satin, anyone could see that it was not their clothes, even if they were wearing the right size, but it was so inappropriate to raise their hands and feet.
The clothes were just draped over their bodies, and they did not hide the ugly appearance in their hearts, and it was a pity that there were several beautiful women beside each man.
The women are all rare immortals, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and at this moment they are surrounded by a group of vulgar men.
The two who should have opened their mouths in shock looked at ease at the moment, as if everything here was just an ordinary thing.
The two of them found a leisure place to sit down under the arrangement of the steward, and several fair-faced family members had already presented a table of delicacies in an instant, Liu Xiangsheng and Lian Zongwu waited for the next miracle with peace of mind.
Sure enough, three stunning beauties immediately came, all with their waists swinging lightly, holding the elixir and jade liquid in their hands, and all of them were barefoot, surrounded by red ropes.
The three of them knelt and set up the wine and tableware, and then stepped aside, but they still knelt, as if they were sitting cross-legged.
Liu Xiangsheng stopped the steward who was going to retire after arranging everything,
"This uncle, please ask, is all this your master's arrangement?"
"Yes, the head of the house said that every guest must feel at home"
"I don't know the name of your master"
"The head of the house is called the dreamless city lord, and the name is a fantasy dream immortal", after speaking, he made a retreat,
Since there is no dream, why dream dreams, Liu Xiangsheng and Lian Zongwu glanced at each other, there must be an inhumane secret in this!
