Chapter 33: Into the City
The morning sun shone warmly on people, Ouyang Yue'er had a bright smile on her face, although she knew in her heart that waking up like this would cause irreparable damage to herself, but she suddenly felt that it was worth it. Ouyang Yue'er touched the little lion's head and said with a smile: "Because of your unwavering companionship, no matter what happens in the future, it is worth it." ”
"What will happen in the future, Yue'er?" a childish child's voice sounded in Ouyang Yue'er's mind.
Ouyang Yue'er was suddenly startled, looked around nervously, and found that there was no one, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and wondered, when she got up from sleep, she had auditory hallucinations!
"Yue'er, what are you looking at?" the immature child's voice sounded again.
"Who, Tamma's, who?" Ouyang Yue'er hugged the lion cub and looked around nervously.
"Yue'er, it's me, I'm in your arms, where are you looking?" the little lion rubbed in Ouyang Yue'er's arms.
Ouyang Yue'er looked at the little lion in surprise and said in surprise: "Xiaobai, it's you, you are not yet old enough to speak?"
"Giggles. The little lion laughed happily and said, "I'm not a little white, I'm the son of the great Qilin Holy Lord!"
Ouyang Yue'er was also amused by the little lion's laughter, and said in disbelief: "Little one, what are you talking nonsense, aren't you the golden lion king?"
"I'm really a unicorn!" The little lion jumped out of Ouyang Yue'er's arms unhappily, spewing out a burst of fire around him, and a charred clearing appeared in an instant.
"You're not a descendant of a lion, you're a unicorn?" Ouyang Yue'er immediately picked up the little lion, by the way, it's a unicorn now. Hurrying towards the forest, she looked at the trees that had instantly turned to ashes, for fear that the forest ranger would come to trouble them.
"Yes, I'm not a descendant of a lion, I'm the Holy Son Fire Qilin, but I can't speak yet, I can only communicate with you with spirits. The place is too barren for me to grow well. The fire qilin said dejectedly.
Ouyang Yue'er smiled and said, "You are not the offspring of the lion, then I am not your father-killing enemy, it's great!" Ouyang Yue'er hugged the fire unicorn and writhed happily. Suddenly, Ouyang Yue'er remembered something and asked, "Hey, Xiaobai, then why do you suddenly speak?"
The fire qilin smiled very humanly and said, "The bead I ate today." At first, I was also very ignorant, very unfamiliar with everything around me, but after eating that bead, my body grew, and I obtained a part of the Qilin inheritance, and I knew this. ”
Ouyang Yue'er hugged the little unicorn, and as she walked, she asked: "What is the sage, what is the inheritance, Lao Tzu has seen those miscellaneous records, but he didn't mention these!"
"The reincarnation beads are those saints, that is, what you now call immortal-level characters, who are unwilling to die when they are dying, turning themselves into a small bead, absorbing the spiritual bloom of heaven and earth, and being reborn again! ”
Ouyang Yue'er smiled and said, "Why was such a good thing eaten by you, so didn't eat you?"
"Hey!" the Fire Qilin sighed and said, "Yue'er, if you hadn't destroyed the protective power outside it, no, if you absorbed it, where would I have been able to eat such a good thing!"
Ouyang Yue'er lowered her head and said unhappily: "It turns out that Lao Tzu is just a locksmith, and the good things are still in it, hey, I didn't eat it, it's a pity." But I can get it done, it's not bad!" Ouyang Yue'er said proudly.
"Hehe, there's nothing in this world that you can't eat!" said the little Qilin with a smile.
"Do you eat too, little brat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ouyang Yue'er retorted unhappily.
"If you want to eat it, you can eat it. Your ancestors have eaten a lot!" the little unicorn muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Ouyang Yue'er saw that Xiao Qilin didn't talk, so she randomly found a topic and said, "Xiaobai, where are we going now?"
"Don't call me Xiaobai, the family is the Holy Son Fire Qilin, and our Qilin family is surnamed 'Yuan'. The fire qilin said dissatisfiedly.
"Then it's called Yuanbai, hahaha!" Ouyang Yue'er said nonchalantly. casually asked, "Xiaobai, this is always okay, right?"
Huo Qilin thought for a while, and didn't say anything, he was now thinking about whether the name Yuan Bai was good or not, and then asked: "Yue'er, why do you always call people Xiaobai, Xiaobai, am I white?"
"Nonsense!" Ouyang Yue'er looked at the fire qilin with disdain, Nima, with white hair, not white enough?
"Okay. The fire qilin lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the white hair on his body. Suddenly, the fire qilin remembered Zhang Heng, who was traveling with him, and said to Ouyang Yue'er: "Yue'er, let's go find Zhang Heng, he was bullied so badly, Aunt Zhang is sick!"
"What's going on?" asked Ouyang Yue'er as she walked out of the mountain.
When Ouyang Yue'er heard Xiaobai's description, she became more and more worried about Aunt Zhang, and her steps became faster and faster, like a gust of wind, crossing the forest.
When Ouyang Yue'er and Xiaobai came to the pavilion, there were corpses lying all around, Ouyang Yue'er's heart suddenly pinched, she threw down the little unicorn, and began to look for someone in the corpse pile, but she looked for it several times, and she didn't see Aunt Zhang and Zhang Heng.
"Whew. Ouyang Yue'er exhaled and said to the little qilin, "I, I didn't find their bodies, which means that they are still alive, and it's a good thing to be alive, let's go look elsewhere!"
"En!" the little Qilin replied, jumped into Ouyang Yue'er's arms, and the two began to wander around the forest.
Ouyang Yue'er and the little unicorn walked across the hill and found that there were a pile of corpses in the col, Ouyang Yue'er's eyelids jumped, she hurriedly rummaged in the corpse pile, and found that it was full of soldiers' corpses. There were no corpses of women and children, and I was immediately relieved.
Ouyang Yue'er walked to a county town on the mountain road, and Ouyang Yue'er wiped her sweat. She saw that the people around her were depressed, and there were many soldiers guarding the city gates. Ouyang Yue'er walked to the city gate and lined up to enter the city.
A soldier stopped the person in front of Ouyang Yue'er and asked, "What are you doing, what are you doing in the city?"
The man in front of him, an honest peasant, rubbed his hands, stuffed a little silver into the soldier's hand, and said, "Brother, I'll go home." ”
"Let's go!" the soldier stuffed the money back into the peasant's hand, patted the peasant's shoulder and said, "You will be our Dahong people in the future, we will not embarrass you, go home quickly!"
Ouyang Yue'er looked at the soldier and found that this soldier was a little similar to Zhang Heng, Ouyang Yue'er turned around her head and thought to herself: "It can't be Zhang Heng's father, right?"
Just when Ouyang Yue'er was stunned, the soldier also found Ouyang Yue'er, and said with a smile: "Girl, your father has gone away, what are you still doing here?" The soldier pointed to the peasant not far away.
Ouyang Yue'er smiled awkwardly, stepped over the fence, and walked towards the city gate.
At this time, a soldier ran over and said to the soldier just now, "General Zhang, Madame is awake." Go back and have a look!"
Ouyang Yue'er accidentally heard this, and her heart jumped, Nima, is it really Zhang Heng's Laozi? Ouyang Yue'er looked at the anxious General Zhang, and found that he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and muttered in her heart, what kind of big country is really poor, and he doesn't even have a decent set of general uniforms!
Although Ouyang Yue'er muttered in her heart, she was not idle at her feet, and following behind General Zhang, she wanted to confirm her conjecture.
Ouyang Yue'er followed General Zhang for more than ten minutes and came to a mansion with the county government written on it. As soon as General Zhang arrived, all the people immediately surrounded him and began to greet him or something. General Zhang ignored everyone and ran straight to the backyard. The men followed, and even the gatekeepers followed.
Ouyang Yue'er scratched her head, didn't think much about it, and followed in.
General Zhang walked into a room, Ouyang Yue'er stood outside, there was a curtain inside Nima, I'm sorry! Ouyang Yue'er was very unhappy, she couldn't see it when she stood outside, it was all blocked by the curtain, what should I do? Suddenly Ouyang Yue'er remembered her special ability, which could see in the dark.
Ouyang Yue'er closed her eyes and clearly felt that the person in the room was Aunt Zhang, she opened her eyes suddenly, and said to the little unicorn: "Xiaobai, the person inside is really Aunt Zhang, let's go in and say hello to her!"
When Ouyang Yue'er entered the house, those subordinates and soldiers found Ouyang Yue'er, and a soldier walked up to Ouyang Yue'er, looked at Ouyang Yue'er and asked, "Girl, who are you, how did you run to the general's mansion?"
"I'm a relative of General Zhang!" Ouyang Yue'er was immersed in the joy of finding Aunt Zhang, and said without thinking.
The soldier glanced at Ouyang Yue'er's tattered clothes, and said in disbelief: "Where did the little girl come from, liar, hurry up and get me out, otherwise I will lock you up!"
Ouyang Yue'er wanted to say something, but was lifted by the collar by the soldier and sent out of the county office under the eyes of another soldier.
The soldier took Ouyang Yue'er out of the county office, threw Ouyang Yue'er out unceremoniously, and then turned back to the other soldier and said, "You help me look at it, I just grabbed this beggar's clothes, and now my hands are dirty, I have to wash them." When the soldier had finished speaking, he turned and walked away, regardless of whether his companion wanted it or not.
Ouyang Yue'er rubbed her little buttocks, looked at the soldiers who left, glared at him dissatisfied, and said to the little unicorn unhappily: "Xiaobai, let's go, we are not welcome here!"
When Ouyang Yue'er was about to leave, she noticed a group of people walking over with a drunken ghost. Ouyang Yue'er saw that this drunken ghost was in tatters, but the people around him were respectful to him, and when she compared it in her heart, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and scolded in her mouth: "Isn't this Nima's patriarchal?"
The more Ouyang Yue'er thought about it, the more angry she became, and she really wanted to spit on the soldier just now, but Ouyang Yue'er decided that more was better than less, she stopped her steps to leave, turned her head, and spat a small mouthful of foam at the gate of the official mansion. At the moment when Ouyang Yue'er turned around, she saw the drunkard's face-Zhang Heng!
Ouyang Yue'er saw Zhang Heng drunk into a puddle of mud, and kindly stepped forward to care, but Zhang Heng had already been sent into the mansion, she looked at the soldiers at the door again, and was immediately deflated, and said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, let's go, we are really not welcome here!"
Ouyang Yue'er hugged the little unicorn and left, but her mood was not any better, she said to herself: "Hey, don't think about it, people are now the general's son-in-law, and they must not be in the mood for themselves, I'd better find a place to wash and sleep." Do you say, Xiaobai?" Ouyang Yue'er finished speaking, looked down at Xiaobai, and found that Xiaobai was already asleep.
"Nima, this pig, also says that he is a unicorn. I only know how to sleep all day long, it's really infuriating!" Ouyang Yue'er thought to herself, Xiaobai likes to sleep so much, but legend has it that the unicorn is the son of a dragon, could it be that the unicorn is a cross between a dragon and a pig? Ouyang Yue'er couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
