Chapter 13: Shyness in the Pocket
After Su Shi was carried away by his guards, the surrounding crowd lost the excitement of watching and began to slowly disperse.
"Thank you Gongzi for coming to the rescue!" the girl clasped her hands together, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude, and saluted Gu Qingzhou.
"The girl is gracious. Gu Qingzhou replied.
"I don't think the girl's sword is extraordinary, I don't know what to call the girl?"
Gu Qingzhou's eyes were attracted by the saber in the girl's hand, and she saw that the long sword had been retracted into her sheath. There is a faint flow of light on the scabbard, which looks very luxurious, even if it is hidden by the scabbard, it still can't hide the edge of the long sword in the sheath.
"My name is Xia Wanyan. The girl smiled sweetly, and the two dimples on her face were very beautiful.
"What about you?" Xia Wanyan asked.
"Xia Wanyan, a nice name, my name is Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou smiled stupidly, and for some reason, he was slightly nervous.
"I saw that Gu Gongzi was extraordinary, and just now he subdued the three guards of the Naling Realm with just one face. To have such a cultivation at such an age, it is really powerful, I don't know where the son is taught?" Xia Wanyan's big eyes flashed, and she looked a little admired.
Hearing Xia Wanyan's praise, Gu Qingzhou's face turned red, and he became more nervous, and hurriedly waved his hand, and said in his mouth: "I'm just a farmer, it's not very good, isn't everyone a cultivator who guards the Yuan Realm?" Gu Qingzhou has followed the drunkard to practice in the mountains since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about worldly things, and he has even less contact with his peers. So in his heart, he thought that his cultivation was the same as most people, but he didn't know that he had already been in the forefront of most people.
Xia Wanyan was taken aback when she heard this, and her little hand gently covered her small mouth in disbelief: "Are you really guarding the Yuan Realm?"
Gu Qingzhou nodded with a confused expression: "Aren't you?"
Xia Wanyan instantly felt that she was hit hard, she was born in the Taoist Sect since she was a child, she was held in the palm of her hand from the beginning, and she had the identity of the Holy Daughter of the Taoist Sect. Therefore, since he was a child, he has much better resources than ordinary people, and he has been carefully cultivated by the Taoist Sect, and only now can he cultivate in the later stage of the Naling Realm.
And now that she has just come to the wilderness, she didn't expect to be surpassed by a teenager who claimed to be a farmer casually, which made her feel like a waste.
"You shouldn't be a wild person, right?" Gu Qingzhou looked at the clothes and ornaments of the girl in front of him, which were extremely luxurious, not like a wild thing.
Xia Wanyan nodded a little decadently: "I am the Holy Maiden of the Middle Earth Dao Sect, and I came to the wilderness to inspect the people's situation by the will of the Holy Lord, but I don't want to be separated from the team. ”
Xia Wanyan pursed her lips after speaking, looking a little embarrassed.
"Dao Sect?" Gu Qingzhou's heart tightened slightly, the "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword" that the drunkard threw to him for cultivation was originally the holy book of the Dao Sect, but don't show your feet in front of her.
"You came to the wilderness to inspect the people's conditions?" Gu Qingzhou deliberately showed surprise and changed the topic.
"Forgive me for being stupid, the wilderness is a place abandoned by God, and even God has given up on us, why does the Holy Emperor of Shengtang still come here to inspect you? Isn't he afraid of going against God's will?" Gu Qingzhou was puzzled.
Xia Wanyan smiled lightly and explained: "You don't know that Your Majesty is merciful and governs the country with virtue. Although you have been forsaken by God, Your Majesty believes that we should support each other as human beings, so we have been sent to inspect you. ”
"Fellow Terrans support each other?"
Gu Qingzhou's heart moved slightly: "It seems that the current Emperor of the Holy Tang Dynasty does have some ability, and he dares to defy the world's disapproval and start a wild idea, but this is not a good thing." ”
"Hey!"
While Gu Qingzhou was in a reverie, Xia Wanyan suddenly said loudly: "Don't tell others, this is the secret of my wilderness!"
"Then why do you want to tell me?" Gu Qingzhou was a little puzzled.
"Because you saved me!" Xia Wanyan smiled sweetly again, and Gu Qingzhou felt as if he was drunk with her smile.
"Gollum!"
Gu Qingzhou suddenly heard a scream from his stomach, and couldn't help but look at Xia Wanyan.
I saw that her little face was flushed, her little hands were covering her stomach vigorously, and her delicate little face was even more embarrassed.
"Hungry?"
Gu Qingzhou was amused by her movements.
"Hmm. Xia Wanyan saw Gu Qingzhou laughing, and her face became even more embarrassed.
"Haven't eaten for a few days?" Gu Qingzhou asked softly.
"Three...... Two days later, the day before yesterday, I picked some wild fruits in the woods outside the city and ate them. Xia Wanyan counted with her fingers.
Gu Qingzhou shook his head a little helplessly: "You are a dignified Taoist saint, don't you bring money when you go out?"
"There are people with me, what else do I bring with me?" Xia Wan was puzzled.
Gu Qingzhou was speechless for a while.
"Rich people are really different from me, I am a countryman who has to take care of both copper plates. Gu Qingzhou said in his heart.
He suddenly seemed to remember something again: "The two gatekeepers at the city gate seem to owe me two copper plates, it seems that I have to find a time to get them back, and it is not good to always let others keep them for me!"
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Xia Wanyan couldn't help but ask when she saw that Gu Qingzhou hadn't spoken for a long time.
"No, I didn't think about anything!" Gu Qingzhou reacted and came to look at her.
"I'm hungry!" Xia Wanyan looked at Gu Qingzhou with a blank look and said.
"Gah?" Gu Qingzhou didn't react for a moment.
"Hey, farmer, I said I was hungry, can you bear to see a poor little girl like me living on the streets, begging along the streets?" Xia Wanyan barely squeezed out two tears, and said very aggrievedly.
“......”
Gu Qingzhou was even more speechless.
Yangui Building.
The best restaurant in the Savage City, or the best restaurant in the entire Savage City, is often worth a thousand gold for a meal
, which can't help but discourage many ordinary people.
At the door of Yanguilou, Xia Wanyan pulled Gu Qingzhou, who was reluctant with a reluctant face, to walk inside.
"Hey, I said aunt, you have to think twice, just have a meal, don't come here!" Gu Qingzhou wanted to cry without tears.
Xia Wanyan stopped and asked with a serious face, "Is the food here very expensive?"
"Of course it's not expensive for you!" Gu Qingzhou looked at the three big characters of "Yanguilou" on the plaque, and felt a little hot.
Who knew that Xia Wanyan became even more excited: "Miss Ben has long wanted to taste the food in the wilderness, and now after going back, I can finally show off to those senior brothers!"
Gu Qingzhou's face was like ashes when he heard this, and he was directly dragged in by Xia Wanyan.
"It seems that the old man is right, women are really tigers, very powerful!" Gu Qingzhou cried out in despair in his heart.
In the Yangui Building, a pair of teenagers and girls sat opposite each other.
Gu Qingzhou looked at the big table of delicacies and wanted to cry without tears, his face was like ashes.
On the contrary, Xia Wanyan on the other side was gobbling up, and in the face of the table full of delicacies, she seemed to feel that her small mouth was not enough, and she really hated that she didn't have one more.
"Hey, slow down, and no one is with you!" Gu Qingzhou reminded kindly.
Who knows, Xia Wanyan on the other side can still take care of Gu Qingzhou, and only the table full of food is left in her eyes.
Gu Qingzhou shook his head and took a sip of the high-grade Qiong Xian drunk in the cup. Wine Entrance,
Gu Qingzhou clearly felt a mellow liquid sliding over the tip of his tongue, moistening his throat, slippering into his throat, and floating warmly in his abdomen.
Close your eyes, as if you are in a fairyland, making people nostalgic back and forth, endless aftertaste, if you are really not drunk, everyone is drunk!
"Sure enough, it is a high-grade Qiongxian brew, which is a little more fairy and agile than the one bought at random in the market, which is more suitable for the name of this Qiongxian drunk. It's not an authentic wine, it's really different from the street goods that the old man drank!" Gu Qingzhou said in his heart.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes looked at Xia Wanyan, who was gobbling up the image without any scruples, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After a while, the table full of food was swept away by Xia Wanyan, she leaned directly on the back of the chair, and directly wiped her oily lips with her hands.
"Full?" Gu Qingzhou asked softly.
"Hiccup!"
Before Mo Yuyan could answer, a full hiccup sound, Xia Wanyan's face was flushed, her eyes didn't dare to look at Gu Qingzhou, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Gu Qingzhou laughed, looking at Xia Wanyan, who had no image, and unconsciously felt a little close.
"By the way, do you have any money on you?" Gu Qingzhou suddenly asked.
"What do you think, or I'll be hungry. Xia Wanyan directly rolled her eyes and returned to Gu Qingzhou.
“......”
When the shopkeeper took away all the silver on Gu Qingzhou's body, Gu Qingzhou felt as if his heart was dripping blood.
"Well, I don't have any money now. ”
Gu Qingzhou waved his hand a little decadently, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears on his face.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyan stretched out her slender jade hand and patted Gu Qingzhou's shoulder, her big watery eyes flashed, and she said pitifully: "What a coincidence, I don't have it either." ”
“......”
After eating, Gu Qingzhou and Mo Yuyan strolled through the streets of the Wild City.
A sharp contrast suddenly formed between the two, Xia Wanyan had a very lively personality, looking here and there for a while, as if she was very curious about everything.
On the other hand, Gu Qingzhou looked pitiful, his brows were tightly locked, and he was still thinking about his silver in his heart.
Suddenly, Xia Wanyan ran to a jewelry stall and picked up a white hosta in her hand, and couldn't put it down.
The hairpin was very beautifully carved, Xia Wanyan's watery eyes were simply shining, and her hands kept stroking the white hosta.
"The girl is really good eyesight, this hairpin happens to be a recent new product, made of the best white jade, if it is worn on the girl's head, it will definitely bring out the girl's fairy posture. When the peddler saw the visitor, he hurriedly praised him enthusiastically.
"Are you rich?" Gu Qingzhou reminded as he stared at Xia Wanyan.
Xia Wanyan then looked away from the hairpin in her hand, and her big watery eyes looked directly at Gu Qingzhou, putting on a very pitiful look.
Gu Qingzhou almost wanted to cry without tears, so he directly turned out his empty pocket, waved his hand and said, "I really don't have any money." ”
Xia Wanyan pursed her lips and returned her gaze to the hairpin, her eyes revealed a sense of loss, and she slowly put down the hairpin very reluctantly.
"Go, go, it's a poor ghost, go away, don't get in the way of my business. When the peddler saw that the two had no money, his face immediately changed and he began to drive people away.
"Hmph, let's go, this girl is not rare. Seeing that the vendor's face changed so quickly, Xia Wanyan said directly.
But before leaving, his eyes swept to the exquisite white hosta again.
