Chapter 453: Buying Shoes (2)
The two of them are more and more able to resist gossip, completely ignoring the words of the people around them, and only caring about choosing their favorite shoes.
Ruan Zhinan gently hugged Yun Qiumeng and passed in front of each pair of shoes seriously, and the only shoe store in Nuoda was the pair that Yun Qiumeng liked, except for shaking his head and sighing.
Just as the two were about to leave, the shopkeeper suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile: "The two are nobles, and the girl is so beautiful, these ordinary shoes are really not worthy of the girl's feet."
It just so happens that the small shop also has a treasure of a town store, and I can guarantee that the girl will like these shoes. I wonder if Childe is willing to buy these shoes for the girl?"
Ruan Zhinan immediately agreed: "No matter what you offer, as long as this girl says she likes it after reading it, no matter how expensive it is, I will buy it for her!"
Yun Qiumeng sweetly leaned her head on Ruan Zhinan's shoulder and smiled: "If I can be held by you all the time, then I would rather never wear shoes for the rest of my life." ”
Ruan Zhinan looked at Yun Qiumeng with the same smile, why didn't he want to?
But the reality is that the shopkeeper touched his goatee and laughed "haha": "It can be seen that you are all rich and noble, and silver is naturally indispensable." But if you want to buy the treasure of a small shop, you can't buy it with silver, but you have to buy it with wisdom and wisdom. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were stunned.
Yun Qiumeng asked curiously, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, how can we use our wisdom to buy the treasure of your town store?"
"Come with me, two. ”
Under the leadership of the shopkeeper, the two walked into the back hall together, only to see oil drums, oil pots and water scoops placed on the ground in turn, this formation is exactly the same as the "treatment" that Cheng Yinni suffered in Guiao Pavilion.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper also asked Ruan Zhinan not to use any things and containers to weigh as much as possible, but only to use the three items in front of him to fill five catties of oil in the oil drum and oil pot.
After slowly putting Yun Qiumeng on the chair, Ruan Zhinan confidently picked up the lightest water scoop.
As soon as he thought of the shopkeeper's words, Yun Qiumeng couldn't sit still, and frowned and kicked his feet vigorously: "Are you sincere in selling things? This is simply difficult! If you don't weigh two pounds of things, how can you make people evenly divide the oil?"
I only heard the shopkeeper explain with a smile: "The treasure of this town store naturally has to have a different way of purchasing, and the girl must not be impatient." ”
"Meng'er doesn't need to worry, this matter is not difficult, I will definitely wear the treasure of the town shop on your feet for you. Ruan Zhinan said confidently.
Under Yun Qiumeng's anxious gaze, Ruan Zhinan unexpectedly completed this task that "seemed a little difficult", and the speed was comparable to that of Cheng Yinni at the beginning.
According to your methodical analysis, the oil drum and the oil pot each contained five catties of oil, which was not a small drop. ”
"Since the guest officer has solved this problem, these shoes will naturally be given to the guest officer according to the agreement!"
After thanking the shopkeeper, Ruan Zhinan squatted on the ground and gently put the pair of light purple boots on Yun Qiumeng's feet: "Meng'er, these shoes are really suitable for you." ”
After turning around in place twice, Yun Qiu Mengle replied, "I think so too." ”
Ruan Zhinan stepped forward and grabbed Yun Qiumeng's hand, and said with great innocence: "Since you are wearing the shoes I gave you, you will have to go with me from now on." ”
"Even if I didn't have these shoes, I would have gone with you. After saying this, Yun Qiumeng lowered his head shyly.
After a while, she looked at the shopkeeper again and asked, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, who gave these shoes?
After smiling slightly, Ruan Zhinan took the lead in replying: "I know who it is, it's your brother! Because I once depicted the scene of my first encounter with you in front of him, only he knew that you were wearing these shoes at the door of Jiu Piaoxiang." ”
After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Yun Qiumeng suddenly showed a grateful smile, and muttered in a very small voice: "Sure enough, it's you, except for you...... Who else would look forward to me wholeheartedly. ”
Ruan Zhinan, who only saw her lips moving, but didn't hear her voice clearly, asked curiously, "Meng'er, what did you just say, I didn't hear clearly?"
After holding his arm hard, Yun Qiumeng pointed to the wine fragrance not far away and touched his stomach with his other hand: "Didn't you mention the wine fragrance just now? I was suddenly hungry...... You didn't buy me your buns anyway, so you should treat me to a meal!"
"As your future husband, the first thing is to let you eat to your heart's content......"
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, the little couple happily walked towards the place where they were eating, and there were talking and laughing along the way, but even Gu Huaiyan, who was passing by, didn't notice it.
Of course, Gu Huaiyan only cared about buying vegetables and cooking, and completely ignored these two.
On the way back, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "I didn't expect that I, a dignified seven-foot man Gu Huaiyan, would be busy in the kitchen all day long, and personally go to the market to buy vegetables...... If Youyou knows, he will praise me for being virtuous again. ”
Although he didn't wait for Zhong Liyou's "boasting", Lou Shenghao's "ridicule" came first.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to believe that our brave and fearless Gu Shaoxia actually likes cooking so much, you should buy a kitchen knife and become a chef, this is not a condescending talent!"
After ridiculing, Lou Shenghao was already out of breath with laughter.
After putting all the purchased dishes into the kitchen, Gu Huaiyan asked with great interest, "Didn't you say that you would go back to the Netherworld Palace to get some important items?" ”
After leading Gu Huaiyan to the room, Lou Shenghao pointed to the cradle next to the corner of the bed: "This is what I got back, what do you think?"
"What is this?"
Gently putting his hand on it, Lou Shenghao patiently explained: "This is the cradle I slept in when I was born, and I give it to you and your child." ”
"You rushed all the way back to the Netherworld Palace just to retrieve the cradle and send it to me?" Gu Huaiyan looked incredulous.
Lou Shenghao nodded vigorously: "That's it! You are my only friend, and now that you are about to become a father, I am really happy...... But I have nothing to give you, just take this cradle as some of my thoughts! ”
Walking to the cradle in three steps and two steps, Gu Huaiyan couldn't help but half-squat, and after a while of observation, he said: "Although this cradle looks a little old, it is very well preserved, I think you should attach great importance to this thing."
I...... I can't ask for anything you like. This thing should also be a kind of spiritual sustenance for you, you might as well take it back to the Netherworld! In the future, when you have a child, you can use it to lull him to sleep!"
After squatting side by side to Gu Huaiyan's side, Lou Shenghao explained unhurriedly: "My grandfather once told me when he was still alive that as long as my mother put me in here when I was crying, I would become very well-behaved.
Even when he fell asleep, there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. Although I don't have memories of infancy, I want to...... That's probably the time when I've dreamed the most!"
Gu Huaiyan was about to speak, and Lou Shenghao added in time: "You are the person I want to cherish in this world, this cradle is my most cherished item, there is no more compatible than you."
So, don't refuse my kindness...... It's a big deal that when I have a child in the future, you can make a few more Trojans and give them back to me. ”
Gu Huaiyan, who couldn't find any reason to refuse, smiled and slapped Lou Shenghao on the shoulder: "Okay! I will accept this cradle! When you have a child in the future, I will definitely make the most exquisite and unparalleled Trojan horse as a congratulatory gift!"
After the discussion, Lou Shenghao pushed Gu Huaiyan and walked in the direction of the kitchen: "Doctor Lu went out to see a doctor, and he won't be back for a few days, and my next food and medicinal soup will all rely on you, Gu Shaoxia, who is both civil and military!"
In the city of sleeplessness, Cheng Wufu stood alone in front of the door of Zhuyun Zhai, and no one knew how long he had been standing.
Until Ji Caidao came to report: "Qiqi City Lord, Huo Biao of the Flame Gate asks to see!"
"What?" Cheng Fu was shocked. After a long time, Cheng Fufu waved his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Bring it here!"
After a while, Ji Caidao brought people to him, and Cheng Fufu waved Ji Caidao away and asked him, "Say goodbye to the Flame Gate, are you okay?"
Huo Biao held the hoopoe sword in his hand across his chest: "I'm fine, but someone is bad." ”
Cheng Fufu took the sword in Huo Biao's hand and sighed: "You're talking about Yun Qiumeng, right?
Huo Biao nodded: "She...... He's dead...... Ten days ago, she sacrificed herself for me to block Jiang Lianjun's sword......" His expression was full of sadness, and his tone was full of helplessness, no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Yun Qiumeng still went after all.
However, Cheng Fufu didn't seem to be surprised by Yun Qiumeng's death at all, his expression didn't show a trace of sadness and reluctance, as if he was used to seeing life and death. But when he took the hoopoe into his hand, he still spit out a sentence faintly: "She...... I only went one day earlier than my brother. ”
Huo Biao moved his lips and looked at Cheng Fufu with wide eyes, if the hoopoe was still in his hand at this moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it. Soon, he felt that the world was spinning, his heart was numb, his mind went blank, and it seemed that the whole world was quiet.
"Drink Nirvana...... How can he ...... How could he be so cunning, resourceful, and knowledgeable about astrological divination......
Cheng Fufu slowly lowered his eyelids: "What's the use of that? He can't control his fate at all." My brother's poison has already penetrated into his internal organs, and he has no skills to return to heaven, and I don't know how he dragged this body through these days...... Perhaps this result was a relief for him. ”
He finally pushed open the door of Zhuyunzhai and slowly walked in.
Huo Biao followed him and walked in, this was the second time he came to the Sleepless City, but it was the first time he entered and stopped Yunzhai. He never imagined that there were three tablets standing prominently in this Yun Zhai, which were Cheng Yinni, Yun Naiting, and Yun Qiumeng from sitting up.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Huo Biao asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
Cheng Fufu put the hoopoe back to its original place before slowly speaking: "On the day Yun Qiumeng died, my brother's body, which had always been weak, suddenly improved, and his mood was exceptionally good. On that day, he specially changed into a new clothes and went to the martial arts training ground where Yun Naiting often went before his death to ride horses and shoot arrows. At lunchtime, he specially named to eat fish and meat dumplings, and ate more than 20 in a row.
His heroic appearance and appetite made me mistakenly think that his poison had been completely cured.
And he was extra kind to sleep with me that day, and it was the first time we had slept together since we were children. He talked to me a lot that night, and told me a lot of things about his childhood, which he was the last thing he wanted to mention. He was as happy as a child, and he hadn't smiled like he had ever smiled like that day since Yun Naiting's death.
When I woke up the next morning, he had prepared breakfast for me, but before I could take a bite of that meal, he closed his eyes forever...... You know what? I was completely stunned, I didn't want to believe what I was seeing, I thought it was all a dream, and I couldn't wait to climb back into bed...... However, when I woke up, all I had in front of me was my brother's corpse......"
Speaking of this, Cheng Fufu's tears finally fell, and he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Huo Biao: "This was found on him when the maid scrubbed his body for him. ”
Huo Biao slowly opened the letter.
"My brother will not be spared from seeing the letter in his face.
When you read this letter, you will be a brother and you will go to another world with many concerns about this mundane thing. Yesterday, I watched the sky at night, and found that Meng'er's natal star had become dim, and I thought that she had reunited with Yun'er before me. I once swore in front of Yun'er Ling to protect Yunqiumeng for the rest of my life, and I also promised that Yunqiumeng would not die before her. I supported her step by step to the pinnacle of power, and watched her avenge Yun'er with her own eyes, and she was carefree when she was alive. I barely managed to do both.
The only person I am ashamed of in this life is you, and I ask myself if I have not fulfilled my duty as a brother. I care for you and care for you very little, but I don't know that you have great ambitions, and I don't know that you have planned so much for me. I just hope that in the next life, you and I can still join a family as brothers, and I will have a chance to make up for you.
Although my life is short, I have tasted all the joys and sorrows, and it is not vain. There is no need to do a lot of things after death, let alone go to the ancestral hall, just set up a tablet side by side with Yun'er. If Ah Biao brings back Meng'er's death and the hoopoe, you only need to put the hoopoe back in its place, and then please set up a tablet for Meng'er on the other side of Yun'er.
All the dust of the past is dust, and you are sad and sad for my brother, but you are not allowed to languish and become thinner. Even if your brother is not there, you must defend the city that never sleeps, and only by guarding the city of sleepless can you defend yourself. The battle between good and evil is imminent, no matter whether it wins or loses, the world will be a new scene. If Gu Huaiyan can survive, Liu Yanxue will inevitably return to the countryside with him.
