"Hey? Why are you still drinking!" The young man hurriedly stopped the maid. "You are alone, alone, alone. Besides, you can't drink like this. It's too disgraceful..."
"Cuckoo!"
The maid didn't care at all about Chu Qing's dissuasion and drank to her heart's content. She sat on Chu Qing's bed in a daze and took off her leather boots.
"It's so spicy, it's like a fire is burning in my stomach. The princess also said what kind of famous wine it is. I don't think there is any difference, hehehehe" the maid said in a daze, then threw away the empty wine bottle and fell headlong. Fell on the bed.
Chu Qing picked up the empty wine bottle on the ground and said without tears, "Then you should let me have a taste. As the saying goes, one needs to drink wine at the coming of age ceremony to grow up. What's the point of leaving an empty bottle? ”
Soon, the maid's weak voice echoed in the small room, and she uttered a few sleepy words from time to time.
"I'll quickly... save enough money... to go to the capital... to be a dancer..."
The maid fell into a deep sleep, as peacefully as if she was in her own bedroom. Chu Qing covered her with a quilt, even the corners were tightly wrapped, but she sat on a chair, leaning her back against the wall, and closed her eyes. .
Tomorrow will be my sword-teaching ceremony, the young man thought, but his heart was not throbbing with excitement, but rather a little cold. He stared at the maid sleeping on his bed even more sadly.
The pain from around his shoulders made Chu Qing open his eyes. He felt a numbness in his back and ribs, and buried his face in his hands to wake up. The maid was still sleeping sweetly, as if her body had not moved much and maintained the same shape before falling asleep. The young man gently opened the door and looked at the sky in the distance. The turbid colored glaze was about to be torn apart. Not long after, the first dawn of dawn A beam of light will illuminate the earth.
Chu Qing grabbed his shirt and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he walked back to the bed. He looked at Cinderella's slightly red cheeks and reached out to untie the maid's hair. Her light brown hair was immediately spread on the pillow. She will be in a mess when she gets up. This is her punishment for sitting up to sleep last night!
"Well..." On the way to the bathroom, the young man met Luo Congzhi, a city wall guard who had just gotten up. He was holding a long bow and yawning as he walked, "You wake up so early... Oh? You are dressed like this. By the way, today is your sword ceremony." The confused archer rubbed his eyes, "Congratulations."
"Thanks to Mr. Luo's selfless protection, Jinmen is safe." The young man bowed his head and thanked him, but suddenly remembered something, "Excuse me, do you have the key to the warehouse over the east city gate?"
The archer groped around his waist and picked out a key from a long bunch, "This one is in charge of the warehouse at the east gate. Do you want to take anything out?"
"Let's see if we can use the motorcycle. Our dear Miss Miyazuki insists on watching the sunrise on such a cold morning. As a handyman..." The young man only felt the pain in his body getting worse. "Anyway, you can lend it to me." Use it?"
"Take it!"
The oil lamp in the bathroom was on. Chu Qing hung the clothes on the hangers and found his own small wooden basin from the side. He found a musket and a standard long sword with mottled marks leaning on the edge of the pool. The owner of the equipment was cleaning his teeth. The man was around thirty years old, his arms were extremely thick, and there was a shocking scar on the back of his hand.
"Good morning, Mr. Nulan." Chu Qing greeted quickly. Watcher Nulan, the sentinel of the Gong family, is highly skilled in martial arts, and has excellent marksmanship, sword skills, and riding skills. It is said that he often rides along the entire territory of the Gong family, and no disturbance can escape his eyes. A few days ago He was the one who carried the wild boar carcass back from the forest.
