Chapter 34 Smoke and Willow Wine Alley

"Bang bang bang!"

Yun Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and asked softly, "Who?"

"Xiao Xuan, it's me. ”

Yun Xuan smiled bitterly and stood up: "Sister Xiaoyu, when have you been so polite, don't you usually break in the door directly?"

When I opened the door, I found that there was a person standing outside the door, who was not Lu Xiangyu.

Lu Xiangyu pursed his lips, and was about to open his mouth to talk back, when suddenly he seemed to think of something again, and said, "Oh, sister, I'm in a good mood today." I thought to myself that my Xiaoxuan's injury is not yet healed, what if I disturb his recuperation?"

"Okay, let's be honest, don't you have the patience and want to go out for a walk?"

"......Shhhhh Okay, I want to go out to play, and my father is really, he is only allowed to go to the palace by himself, and we are not allowed to go out for a step!"

"Huh. Yun Xuan laughed dryly, thinking that this time the master went to the palace, I am afraid that it is not as easy as swimming in the mountains and rivers.

"So, while he's not here for a day, let's go to the market together. The more Lu Xiangyu spoke, the more excited he became: "I used to always see introductions in books, saying how prosperous this Los Angeles is, there are many new and interesting things, and I don't want to stay here every day." ”

Yun Xuan was helpless, he naturally knew his sister's temperament very well, that was really not afraid of heaven and earth, and the king of Hades could scold her when he saw him! Usually Lu Fang could still suppress her when he was around, but now as soon as Lu Fang left, he could let the birds fly in the sky, and the sea was wide and the fish could jump.

"This ...... Okay, I have no opinion on going out to play, but you have to listen to me after you go out, you can't mess around, Los Angeles is not as good as the sect, and it's very troublesome if something happens!"

Lu Xiangyu crossed his hands on his hips, straightened up his slightly rudimentary chest, and raised his head arrogantly: "Don't worry, I'm my sister, what's wrong with me!"

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Ah, it's all your fault for being so verbose, you almost forgot to buy the candy man at this morning's market, and it will be sold out later." Go quickly, I have to go back to the room to change my clothes first, Xiao Xuan, you hurry up and buy two strings for me. ”

Without waiting for Yun Xuan to agree, he ran back to the room with a smoke.

Yun Xuan had no choice but to smile bitterly, raised his legs and walked out of the room, and was about to lock the door, but saw Lu Xiangyu next to him poking his head out of her room again: "That's right, Xiao Xuan, I remember that it is the one at the gate of West Street in the market, I heard that it is the most delicious, just wait for me there after buying it." ”

"Okay, you ...... too"

Yun Xuan just opened his mouth to urge her to hurry up, but Lu Xiangyu didn't listen, and closed the door with a "bang".

Shrugging helplessly, Yun Xuan didn't think much about it, and with a wave of his right hand, he took the hat that Lu Xiangyu had given him before on his head, and then walked down the stairs quickly and left the inn.

Looking for someone on the side of the road to ask for the general location of the West Street of the market, Yun Xuan quickly blended into the crowd and gradually disappeared from view. Looking at Yun Xuan's figure, Lu Xiangyu upstairs gently closed the window, revealing a sly smile.

Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan, thanks to your usual smartness, this time, you finally fell for my sister's plan!

Yun Xuan, who was walking on the road at this time, naturally didn't know her careful thoughts, but even if he knew, it was nothing, because he believed that Lu Xiangyu would not harm him. As for whether he discovered the other party's calculations, perhaps only he himself knows.

To get back to the point, although Yun Xuan was unwilling to disobey the Lu side's arrangement, as he walked around Los Angeles, he was quickly attracted by the bustle and noise.

A teenager who has lived in the mountain gate since he was a child is naturally full of curiosity about these things that he has never been exposed to. Don't look at him with a smart mind, but at heart he is still just a child who has never been in the world.

Especially when passing by a house called Drunken Willow Building, I found that there were a lot of large sedan chairs parked at the door, and there were also many richly dressed men in the building, accompanied by several charming women, who sent them into the sedan chair and left into the distance.

Looking at this luxuriously decorated restaurant, you can smell a faint aroma coming from a distance, which is immediately refreshing and refreshing. Even Yun Xuan could feel that this aroma seemed to have a faint effect on strengthening the aura condensation!

Subconsciously staying in front of the door, Yun Xuan looked at this restaurant curiously, but for some reason, subconsciously he had an inexplicable resistance to this place.

At this moment, a woman wearing a pale cyan silk dress and a thin silk coat noticed this slightly strange young man. Although the boy wore an ordinary hat, she noticed the young and fair face under the hat.

She showed a soft smile and slowly walked to Yun Xuan's side: "This little official, but you want to enter this drunken willow building?"

Seeing that someone was suddenly talking to him, Yun Xuan subconsciously hurriedly lowered his hat, for fear that his identity would be exposed, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I'll leave now." ”

Seeing that the other party was leaving, how could the woman give up easily, and then reached out to hold Yun Xuan's wrist. But at the moment of holding it, a chill suddenly surged up, making the woman feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Yun Xuan gently broke away from her, and lowered his head as he walked: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stay, I'm sorry." ”

After that, he walked away quickly without looking back, for fear that the other party would catch him again. However, what Yun Xuan didn't notice was that the woman froze in place for a few breaths before she finally came back to her senses, her thin lips opened lightly, and she exhaled a breath of snow-white cold air.

You must know that it is now a scorching summer in August, but this woman seems to have experienced a cold winter. She looked at Yun Xuan's departure direction with a surprised expression, as if she was hesitating about something, and finally sighed lightly and returned to the building.

After such an incident, Yun Xuan didn't dare to stay at will anymore, and went straight to the front of the West Street of the market. Don't see that so far, he has not been discovered by anyone, but he is still wearing a hat in this hot summer, after all, it is still more eye-catching, and he can only try to keep a low profile.

As he walked into the market, the fiery and noisy atmosphere instantly surged, with an endless stream of people coming and going, enthusiastic and excited stall vendors, and most importantly, the constant smell of rice made Yun Xuan's stomach growl.

"Xiaolong soup dumplings, hot soup dumplings that have just come out of the oven!"

"Pancakes, a pancake!"

"Wontons with thin skin and big filling, wontons bigger than dumplings, adults can try a bowl!"

Listening to the shouts coming from all around, Yun Xuan couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, trying to keep himself from thinking about it for a while. After looking around, I soon noticed that there was indeed a candy seller's stall not far from the door.

Taking a closer look, Yun Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that this location had already been surrounded by a group of children, and they all looked at the vendors, eager to eat all the sugar people in one bite.

"Come, child, your little monkey is ready. ”

Coincidentally, when Yun Xuan came to the stall, the vendor who painted the candy man had already made one and handed it to the child next to him, watching the child eat happily, the vendor's eyes were even more relieved.

I have to say that although Yun Xuan doesn't know much about the sugar man's practice, from the finished product of this person, it is indeed very exquisite, and the monkey drawn is also lifelike, extremely expressive, and it is definitely not an ordinary person's craft.

No wonder the business here is so good, even Sister Xiaoyu has heard of it, it is really extraordinary!

After taking a closer look, Yun Xuan suddenly showed a strange look, just because he found that this vendor was quite old, but there was no sluggishness in his methods and movements, and everything was like flowing water.

If it is said that this is the result of many years of experience, but with the continuous production of several children in front of him, the old man of the merchant does not even breathe.

What's even more strange is that although the old man's hands are wrinkled, there is no callus at all, and his complexion is slightly white. This is very strange compared to the dirty and shabby clothes on the body!

As he pondered, the line had reached a child in front of him. The old man of the sugar man raised his eyes to look at the child and showed a kind smile: "Child, what kind of sugar man do you want, will grandpa draw one for you?"

The boy looked at the old man with a hopeful look in his eyes, and his expression was a little cowardly: "I...... Grandpa, youβ€”Can you draw a mother?"

The old man looked stunned: "Child, can you tell grandpa, what does your mother look like?"

"Hmm...... It's beautiful, just like a fairy, although Xiao Yue has never seen her mother since she was a child, Xiao Yue knows that she must be like a fairy!"

After the old man was silent for a while, he turned to smile and said, "Okay, no problem, grandpa will help you draw." ”

Hearing this, Yun Xuan's curiosity suddenly rose. He also understood the child's situation, obviously the child had no mother at a very young age, and it was even very likely that he was still an orphan, and he didn't remember his mother's appearance at all.

In this case, how can the old man draw a candy man for him?

Sure enough, this time the old man's speed was much slower, and every step was carefully crafted, sketched out little by little. As time slowly passed, Yun Xuan watched his movements, and unconsciously felt a little distracted, as if there was an attraction in it, which made him immerse himself in it.

After a moment of time, this huge candy man, which occupies three bamboo sticks, is baked. The moment he saw the finished product, Yun Xuan suddenly felt a huge shock in his heart, as if a sledgehammer had smashed heavily on his heart.

Scenes of fantasy flashed in front of her eyes, just like on the sugar painting, the woman was holding an infant baby in her arms, and her face showed a happy smile. She hugged the child with her left hand, and held a paper umbrella with her right hand to the left, as if to protect the child from the rain, but her own clothes on the right side were all wet.

Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, deep down in her heart she would be deeply moved by her subtle actions! Such an indescribable feeling was the first time in Yun Xuan's life!

Soon, the illusion picture turned, and Yun Xuan suddenly found that he seemed to be lying in someone's arms, vaguely like a silver-haired woman with a shawl, looking at him gently and reluctantly, tears flashing in the corners of her eyes.

"Xuan'er, don't be afraid, the world does not allow you, but my mother will allow you to ......"
