Chapter 16: Waiting for You 2
The dusk slowly spreads over Fukuzawa Kyoto, and today there is a sunset, rendering the sky like the face of a shy girl, and there is a hidden beauty that makes people intoxicated and nostalgic in the dreamy light and shadow chasing her.
All the buildings in Kyoto are covered with a thin layer of mist, and all the hustle and bustle of the streets and the busy people slowly slow down, and people look up at the sky and thank the world for the gift of this sunset.
Outside of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, in the middle of the city, there is a bay of the Ruri River, and the water of the river is crystal clear. The Liuli River flows from west to east, carrying a full load of fishing boats and cargo ships. Those small pleasure boats, like pieces of ethereal and tiny floating islands, although small and simple, but filled with dreams, carrying the people who have just finished their hard work on this floating island, sailing to their home. Returning, there is a warm family welcome, wine and meat, and a good life.
Prince Izumi Zewen's stall was set up on the embankment next to the Liuli River, and he was dressed in brown sackcloth, sitting cross-legged against the wooden fence of a liquor store behind him. His personal guard, Dumb, was also dressed as a peddler, standing against the wall a little farther away.
Today is the third day that Prince Bun has come to Fukuzawa Kyoto to look for traces of demons. In the past few days, he has asked women, children, old and children if there has ever been a haunting, and everyone said that it is now a peaceful and prosperous age, where can there be any haunted things.
So he decided to set up a stall in this bustling street market, and listen to what the ranger Taoist priests said in the past, maybe he could gain something.
King Wen was deep in thought when a figure appeared in front of his stall.
"Eh, I said you, how do you sell this bell?" I saw a girl in green clothes standing in front of her, and in the background of the glow, the girl's body exuded a warm and soft light. Her eyes were as bright as spring water, her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms, and her lips were red as cherry blossoms. Charming and mischievous.
"Ten taels and one. King Wen deliberately quoted a high price, although there was a peerless beauty standing in front of him, he had other important things to do, and he didn't want to deal too much with her.
"What! so expensive! You rob money!" the girl looked at King Wen in surprise with wide eyes. "It's cheaper! I'll pay ten cents! Your bell is small and ugly, and it's worth the price. The girl stood cross-legged, pretending to be fierce. As soon as these words came out and this shape was swinged, the image of this girl fell from the altar to the bottom in King Wen's heart.
"It's a spiritual thing, Ailing knows. You don't look like a girl who hasn't seen the world. Prince Wen muttered, "Take it, take it, don't buy it and leave!" Prince Wen was angry.
"Ailing, what is Ailing?" the girl's eyes were dripping in her sockets.
"This is a treasure, and legend has it that people who love each other find each other with this bell, which makes a pleasant tinkling sound. Take it and take it, I don't know how to appreciate it-"Prince Wen was about to rob it, but the girl didn't give it to him." Holding the bell and flashing to the left, he looked at the bell carefully.
This bell is bronze texture, small and exquisite, and its appearance looks no different from other bells, but it is carved with some fine and delicate dragon and phoenix patterns. There was a copper bead inside, but when I shook it in my ear, I couldn't hear the sound.
"Eh, why don't you ring this bell, maybe you stuck this copper bead to the wall, right?" The gap in the bell opening was very small, but the girl squinted and looked inside.
"I told you, it won't ring until you meet someone you love!" Prince Wen was already angry.
"Don't take it!" The girl hid the bell behind her, she had been wandering in the ghost place of Fukuzawa Kyoto for many days, and today she finally came across an interesting object, how could it be so easy to tell her to let go, "You have so many bells on the stall, sell me one for ten yuan, and I will give twenty yuan for it!" The girl stretched out two fingers and gestured to Prince Wen.
"Hey, I've been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I've never seen such a cheeky girl as you, bring it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Prince Wen unconsciously held the long sword at his waist.
"There's a lot of things you haven't seen, Grandma Ben—" The girl was muttering, when she suddenly saw a thief beside her grabbed the girl's right arm with a thief's hand, and pressed her shoulder. The girl bowed deeply to the guard Dumb three meters away. Dumb covered his mouth and smiled, hehe.
I saw that Prince Wen snatched the copper bell from the girl's left hand, and the girl was not easy to bully, and she raised her leg behind her back and kicked it in the face.
Prince Wen pushed the girl to the ground and wiped his face with both hands, "Okay, you wild hooves, I will take care of you!"
The girl hurriedly got up from the ground, and saw that Prince Wen also had a delicate copper bell on the sword on his waist, so she reached out and pulled the copper bell hard, turned around and ran away. While running, he shouted, "Then you have to catch up with me!"
Prince Wen was stupid for half a moment, oh no, what she took away was the real bell! I never thought that I would meet such a crazy woman today, dare to rob this king's things, and beat this king! I can't let her run away!
So Prince Wen also chased after him. One runs, the other chases, and a thrilling battle of life and death escape and chasing the murderer is staged in the downtown area.
The bustling shuttle crowd in the downtown area, the girl dodged left and right, hiding in Tibet, and Prince Wen suddenly worked lightly, and suddenly flew forward. He chased fast, but she was fast and slow, hiding and hiding, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
It's great, I've finally got rid of him, and it's really a hell of a day to meet such a difficult character. But this love bell, hahaha, earned it!
Just when Prince Wen was obsessed with another long-haired woman in green clothes in the crowd, the girl had already jumped lightly at the bend of the river and jumped onto a cargo ship carrying fruits.
"Boatman, give you a tael of silver, and let me sit here for a while!" the girl took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and threw it to the boatman. I thought to myself, that profiteer actually wanted to extort money. Grandma Ben refused.
"All right, girl, sit down. The boatman suddenly got such a large sum of money, and suddenly felt that he had the strength in his body, and rowed the boat forward with all his might.
Night came at some point, like a sleeping goddess sleeping above the royal city. The Liuli River passes through the city, meandering, passing through one bridge hole along the way, and suddenly to another bridge hole.
The starlight in the sky and the glimmer of the oil lamps by the river are projected in the rippling river, which is extremely quiet and beautiful.
The girl's heart calmed down at once, and she sat with her legs bent and rested her head on her lap.
Where would he be at this moment?
He would never have known that I was looking for him, all the way from the far north. And he will never know how many sad hardships I encountered along the way.
She stared at the river in a daze, caught up in endless memories of the past.
Suddenly, his figure appeared in the river, dressed in a cyan robe, and his body was thin but firm in the wind.
She turned back suddenly, and the bridge was behind her, but there were only sparse pedestrians, and he could not be seen.
"Boatman, turn around! Go back!" she exclaimed.
"All right, girl. So the boatman turned around again and passed through the hole in the bridge.
The ship was moored quietly under the curved arch bridge. There is a boy contemplating on the bridge, and a girl staring under the bridge.
Standing on the bridge, it was none other than Xuanyuan Ming, who was impartial and visited with King Yue and his entourage. This time, they ate soju and roast chicken in the Full Moon Building, and then had a drink and chatted in Laifeng Xuan. But he felt that the roast chicken was tasteless, so he drank a lot of wine by himself. Now I'm drinking to the right point, slightly drunk but not drunk, and everything is extraordinarily beautiful.
Everyone was talking and laughing, but he felt panicked. So he sneaked out of the banquet and blew the wind on the bridge. can stand here, looking at the ethereal Qingyuan Mountain in the distance, and can't help but think of his mother who was locked up in Qingyuan Mountain-
Xuanyuan Ming lowered his head slightly, but saw a woman looking at him with tears in her eyes. At this time, there is no one left and right, not to look at me, but to look at whom?
I saw the girl stepping on Yandeng, flying from the pontoon boat to the bridge, and falling one meter in front of Xuanyuan Ming's eyes.
The girl's tears could not hold back any longer.
"You're finally here—" she choked. It was the first thing she said to him.
The girl approached step by step, and Xuanyuan Ming retreated step by step.
This girl was so strange that when she first saw me, she cried and said strange things to me. Afraid of not being a madman?
But looking at the whole body, the green clothes and hairpins are no different from the girls of the people next to them, and they are more beautiful than others.
The girl couldn't help but pull Xuanyuan Ming's left sleeve, and the crying was even more sad, and the sleeve where she wiped her tears with her right hand was already wet.
"Girl, don't cry, I don't know if you're in trouble?" Xuanyuan Ming couldn't see a woman crying.
It's his voice! yes, it's him, that's right!
At this moment, the girl could no longer control her feelings, and tears poured out like a spring. She plucked up her courage and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder.
At this moment, she had waited too long, too long.
Xuanyuan Ming only felt that there were two warm and soft clouds on his chest clinging to him, and suddenly felt that the yin and yang meridians in his body were out of balance, and the angina pectoris inside seemed to burst. Suddenly, he vomited a large mouthful of blood from his body. His eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
The girl also leaned down and fell, holding Xuanyuan Ming's unconscious head, and cried out with a "wow".
"I knew you were going to die, but I didn't let you die right now!!TT"
At night, a small bridge on a small river, a young girl in Tsing Yi hugged a young man in Tsing Yi, and the sound of crying resounded in the sky above the Liuli River.
