Chapter 17: Fancheng's First Encounter
Out of Vermilion Bird City, all the way to the north is to leave the border land to the north of the official road of the Qin Dynasty.
The boy led the white horse and walked along the road.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw a new city.
Fancheng, standing between the border of Great Xia in the Southern Regions and the hinterland of the imperial dynasty, is a city with too many romantic stories.
Fancheng has the most rain in autumn, especially in this season, the pear blossoms in Fancheng will bloom.
Rain, bluestone slabs, a tree of pear blossoms, dotted in Fancheng, is a rare scene for the scholars who have a poetic sense in their chests.
Jiang Xiaoman led the horse with a smile and walked into the city humming a minor tune all the way.
With the clearance document of the Suzaku City Overseer, the guards guarding the city gate did not dare to embarrass the young man.
At least, in the land of the Southern Regions, the boy knew that he would be unimpeded all the way.
When he entered the city, he suddenly heard a noisy shout not far in front of him.
Jiang Xiaoman frowned slightly, turning sideways and not wanting to do much.
Before he could react, he saw a petite figure quickly passing in front of him, but when he reached the young man, he bumped it slightly with his shoulder, and actually knocked Jiang Xiaoman back two steps.
The petite figure waved his hand at an incredible speed to snatch the reins in Jiang Xiaoman's hand, and immediately turned over and got on the horse.
As soon as the smoke slipped, it was gone.
"Thank you brother Tai for the grace of the horse, there will be a retribution in the future!" The petite figure turned around happily on the horse, and shouted at the young man who was inexplicably robbed of his horse, without the slightest indication that he was clearly robbed of consciousness.
"This hasn't come out of the Southern Regions yet, in broad daylight, there is such a female thief in charge!" Jiang Xiaoman was a little dumbfounded, and came back to his senses after a long time, seeing that his hands were already empty, he couldn't help jumping a little.
The horse that accompanied him all the way to the north, and then carried him into the Qin Dynasty in the north, Lu, who was called by his father, and the good horse who was affectionately called Xiaobai by him, where is there still a trace now.
......
"A bunch of well-fed bastards, who don't have silver in their purses!"
Outside Fancheng, next to a stream in the forest.
A petite figure, at this moment, was pouting and turning out a bunch of purses embroidered with various patterns in his arms one by one, and fell to the ground casually.
It's just that it's obvious that there isn't much to be gained today, except for a few broken silvers that can be seen in the stars, all of which are tokens large and small that can still glow a little in the shade of the trees.
"When will I have enough silver taels to redeem myself!" the petite figure tossed the useless purse into the dirt pit beside him, expertly lit the flint, and sat with his knees folded as he watched the rising flames whisper to himself.
The girl was not very old, and she was covered in a casual and somewhat messy white dress.
She sat by the stream and waited for the fire to go out, but then smiled stupidly, took off her shoes and socks, stepped barefoot into the stream, revealing a small piece of smooth calf, her hair was not tied up, scattered at random, and a little yellow on her shoulders and back, but on the whole she was quite pretty.
Jiang Xiaoman startled the little girl when she jumped out from behind the big rock, but now it was obviously the young man who appeared later who was more like a victim, and he stretched out a hand to her: "You can be regarded as finding you! You are a girl, what's the matter with robbing my family in broad daylight?
The boy was obviously angry.
The girl ignored the "bitter master" who was angry and yelled at her, and raised her head to look at the young man in front of her.
Obviously, the background of this young man who was taken away by her horse should be extraordinary, and the good silk on her body alone is about one-tenth of her "redemption" silver.
The facial features are very handsome, the eyes are as black as stars, and the bridge of the nose is high, but the brows are furrowed and slightly ruinous to the beauty.
I don't know if it is worth selling into the Qinglou in the city to hand over tea and water, and then exchange for one-tenth of the "redeemed" silver taels?
Or was it simply tied up and forced to write a letter to his family asking for an honorarium?
It's just that when the girl saw the young man in front of her carrying a heavy gun magazine behind his back, she had no choice but to withdraw her thoughts.
If you really start to do it, maybe, it's really not that this is obviously an opponent who came out in the name of travel to fool around with the children of high-ranking lords.
Otherwise, take sweat medicine?
When the girl was seriously thinking about how to play the last value of this bold enough to dare to chase out of the city alone from the rich young man.
Jiang Xiaoman took the first step, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and flicked it on her smooth white and tender forehead.
He quickly untied the purse around his waist, took out about one-tenth of the silver that was enough for her to "redeem herself" and stuffed it into his arms, and handed the remaining silver to her hand with the purse.
"Who calls me a good person? "Oh, take it, go do some small business, girls, don't do this stealing chicken and dog business anymore, beware that you won't be able to marry in the future!" Jiang Xiaoman said with great righteousness, and he felt that he was about to catch up with the heroes who walked the world with swords and drew swords to help each other in the chivalrous novels that he had nothing to do on weekdays.
After saying that, the boy sighed and shook his head, turned around and picked up Lu Ma, who was tied to the forest by the girl at will, and left in a dashing manner.
Flick your sleeves lightly, humming a little song, it's fast!
The young man was happy in his heart.
Hey!
Before leaving the borderland, he saved an ignorant girl who had gone astray.,When I return to Vermilion Bird City in the future, I can add fuel and vinegar to Mo Li, as well as my father and mother.,Some blow.。
The purse in her hand exuded a refreshing and clean smell, not full of wine and aroma like the girl had come to the red dust customers with knives in the restaurant in the city earlier.
What a fool.
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, she chuckled and shook her head, touching the smooth forehead that was bounced red by Jiang Xiaoman.
But it's silly fun!
A warm current slowly gushes out from my heart that has been cold for a long time.
"Xiao Er, wine, the best wine!" Jiang Xiaoman did a good deed, and returned to the Fancheng Inn without saying a word, patting the table and asking for wine.
If you become a hero, you have to be a full set, and on weekdays, you are in charge of the mother in Vermilion Bird City, how can you have the opportunity to come into contact with a wine that has long wanted to try a fragrant smell.
"This little brother, are you new to the borderland?" The innkeeper is accustomed to seeing the merchants who come over, and he is a good hand at serving people, so he trotted all the way to the guest officer who was clamoring for wine but was obviously still a teenager, and said with a smile: "Our lord of the border army of the town of Yashiro has already given an order, and all guest officers under the age of nineteen in my border cities are not allowed to sell wine, if they really want to give you wine to drink, I am afraid that the small shop will be closed tomorrow!"
The young man looked helplessly at the little two ends in front of him and twitched the corners of his mouth with the drink made into juice from Fancheng fat pears, the third uncle is really a "good soldier" who loves the people like a son!
......
There is a grass hut at the end of the stream in the mountains and forests outside Fancheng, and at this moment, the girl in the house told the ghost mother-in-law that when she met Jiang Xiaoman like this, the woman's stomach was about to burst with laughter.
I am used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world of those red dust guests with knives in Fancheng, but I can't imagine that there are really such stupid and interesting wonderful people in this world.
She is nicknamed the No. 1 Female Snitch in Fancheng, when did someone take the initiative to give her the silver taels?
The ghost mother-in-law is a well-known miracle doctor within a radius of a hundred miles, she is very old, but her medical skills are ridiculously high.
At this moment, she lay on the rocking chair and gently waved the fan in her hand, shook her head and said, "You don't have to go to the city to do that hand-to-hand thing, I have said many times that I will not ask for your money." ”
"But I've said it many times, I must give it!" The girl giggled, took the fan in the hand of the ghost mother-in-law and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "I know that in order to save me, my mother-in-law has exhausted all the rare medicinal materials you have accumulated for many years, and my Ji Xiaoyue is a female snitch with clear grievances, and I must pay back what I owe to my mother-in-law!
"Come on, I don't know your thoughts. The ghost mother-in-law looked at the girl who would squat beside her obediently, and scolded with a smile: "I have a stinky temper with your father, your father sent you all the way from Beihai to me because he didn't want me, an old woman who should have been in the ground, to bring a body of your Ji family's green bag into the soil, and I was embarrassed to come to beg me in person, otherwise how could I put your troublesome little girl here with me?"
The girl gruntled, looking pitifully at the ghost mother-in-law who was supposed to be called grandmother, her big eyes flickering.
"It's just that the root of your illness was left by your mother when she gave birth to you, and I just temporarily suppressed it so that it wouldn't worsen, if your father can't find the descendants of Emperor Liu of the Ruins Country within three years......"
The ghost mother-in-law's voice was a little low, and she secretly wiped her eyes, the wind in the mountains and forests is a little strong.
"I know, I know, I can't find Emperor Liu's descendants, I'll die, right!" The girl didn't care about fanning the fan in her hand, and she smiled sweetly, but the smile was a little sad.
She paused, and said with a smile: "Ghost mother-in-law, you often scold me for being a little bastard, a thousand-year-old king and an eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise, my Ji Xiaoyue is a female snitch, how can she die so easily!"
There is sorrow hidden in the smile, not for yourself.
It's not a big deal to die if you're dead, just go down there to see the mother you've never met.
It's just that my father has been gone for so many years, and I don't know if I have found the descendants of Emperor Liu?
Even if you find it, you can invite the county lord who was famous in the Guixu Country and even in Beihai for a while, and people are willing to spend their hearts to save a little girl who has never met before.
Even if the mother of this little girl was the personal maid of the surprising county lord whose bloodline was high in the ruins.
But in the final analysis, it was his mother who chose the path herself.
Wholeheartedly followed his father out and returned to the ruins and married Beihai.
According to her mother, the county lord who was like a sister to her at the beginning, I think she is still angry with her mother, right?
After all, I heard my mother say that the lifespan of the demon race cannot be calculated in the way of the human race.
Although the Lord of the Forgotten Worries County is now more than three hundred years old, he is really in his thirties compared to the human race.
Women, especially women in their thirties, have the most hidden needles in their hearts.
If the county lord is really angry with his mother and runs away, it is reasonable that he refuses to come to save himself.
It's just that once I'm gone, I'm afraid my father and ghost mother-in-law will be very sad, right?
What she was most afraid of was seeing her father crying, and they all said that a big man should stand up to the sky.
can be as strong as her father, although there are not many tears shed in this life, there are not many tears.
I didn't see it for the first time.,According to the ghost mother-in-law, it was when the mother gave birth to her when she exhausted her mind.。
The second time was when the disease flare-up.
She didn't want to see it for the third time, and it was embarrassing to see such a tall and majestic person sobbing!
If you really want to die, then you must call out the ghost mother-in-law and grandmother before you die, and the old guy will definitely be happy.
The ghost mother-in-law's snoring interrupted the girl's train of thought, put down the fan, turned lightly and walked into the house, skillfully took out the flint to light the fire on the stove that had been cold for a long time, and then happily picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board that was said to be made of meteorite from outside the sky and cut the vegetables.
The old guy who was supposed to be sleeping soundly secretly opened one eye and glanced at the petite figure who was busy in the house at this moment.
In his eyes, there is endless kindness.
