In the evening, Lin County.
The street vendors were shouting loudly, and their unique and novel singing and drinking lyrics attracted many passers-by to stop.
The monarch and his concubine had not traveled incognito as they did now for a long time, so they were particularly curious about the various things on the street stalls, and stopped to look at them from time to time.
Brother Shu Wuluan walked behind the two of them, thinking that it was still early and not in a hurry to go to the store, so he did not disturb the interest of the two masters, and just looked at the department stores on the stall in boredom.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a wooden shaft filled with windmills. I saw the windmills tied with colorful colored paper, whirring and turning with the breeze, making a soft swishing sound, like a quiet and soothing sound. music.
The hands holding the shirt on her shoulders paused slightly, and her thoughts began to deviate from her mind, flashing back to the scene of a certain night.
The dark cloak, the smoky figure, also held a small windmill in its hand, but the workmanship was more exquisite, symbolizing the free and easy rotation.
Then the words lingered, "Come with me... I'll be free in the world, wander around the world..."
She had to admit that at that moment, she was really moved.
At that moment, a heart that had always been firm and unswerving suddenly wavered, and finally disturbed a pool of thoughts that had been calm for many years, and rippled...
Just when Ge Shu Wuluan was looking at the windmill in trance, a soft word suddenly came to her ears, which frightened her thoughts away at the right time. She only heard, "If you like it, I will buy it for you."
This sudden sound really startled her, and she looked back angrily, only to see Yan Qisha standing beside her, his ice-blue eyes filled with indescribable brilliance, fleeting and erratic like meteors. As it passes by, it is bright and eye-catching.
The two horses behind him were parked obediently aside, occasionally snorting a few times to indicate impatience, as if they were impatient with the two people walking around.
Looking at the man's eyes with a different color, for some reason, Ge Shu Wuluan felt a little guilty in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Are you reincarnated by a ghost? There is no sound at all when you walk, It’s shocking, you know?!”
Yan Qisha glanced at her plain hand caressing her chest, held the corner of her mouth, smiled charmingly, and nodded in disbelief, "Didn't A-Luan never believe in ghosts and gods? Why would this happen today?" One question? However, since it is mentioned that ghosts are reincarnated... it seems right. Isn't there such a saying - reincarnation after death? So, who is not reincarnated by ghosts?! Hehe, I am still very superstitious, so, as you said, I believe it. Oh, and also, it was not my intention to shock Aluan just now."
Such a crooked word and fake argument immediately made Shu Wuluan speechless and his whole body was in a mess. God, why don't you blow up an evil wind and sweep this man far away...
Seeing her deflated look, Yan Qisha smiled faintly, opened his thin lips and said, "How about it? Do you want me to buy it for you?"
Brother Shu Wuluan finally woke up from his madness, followed his line of sight, frowned for a moment at the small rotating windmills, turned around and glanced at the man arrogantly, coldly snorted: "I just Not so childish!”
After saying that, he no longer looked at him, only calmly took his head back and walked away quickly.
She must have had a bad brain before to yearn for that bastard Phantom's proposal...
Yan Qisha stared at her pretending to be indifferent but smiled without saying a word. After all, she was still influenced by his words that night, right? !
So, does it mean that one day, he will be able to take her away from the shackles of the crisis-ridden palace, and then swim freely in the rivers and lakes
At the same time, a wonderful picture of riding a horse with a woman and galloping through the wilderness was sketched in his mind, and an unstoppable tender smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
Perhaps, this delusion will eventually become more than just a fantasy and become a reality...
Autumn evenings always carry a bit of chill, like melancholy that cannot be shaken off or wiped away.
The long street where the street lights are gradually burning is full of rows of lights. The night is beginning to fall, but the darkness is still there, and the curtains of the painting building are slightly cold.
At one place on the street, there were many silhouettes, and the pedestrians roughly formed a large circle on the road. Judging from the posture of their heads raised, they seemed to be watching some show.
From time to time, gasps of air could be heard from the crowd, mixed with low voices of discussion, intertwined and making it seem a bit noisy.
Such a noisy scene attracted the monarch and the concubine. Seeing this, Ge Shu Wuluan ordered Xia Xuefenglei to guard the carriage, and then hurriedly followed to protect his master's safety.
Just as his footsteps settled in the crowd, suddenly, he heard the sound of crispy bamboo tarts passing by, which was very harsh.
But I saw a thin man standing in the open space among the crowd. He looked like he was nearly forty years old. He was unattractive and had a sickly look on his face. He was dressed in shabby burlap clothes, gray and shabby.
At this time, he was holding a two-foot-long bamboo pennant and looking at a seven or eight-year-old child with a cold look, quite intimidating.
The child had a rather delicate face, was equally thin, and was dressed in tattered rags. The clothes were stained, and the covering on her body showed that they were wide and loose, with tangled trousers that had been stepped on. It dragged on the ground, slightly covering a pair of bare feet.
This rag was obviously hastily remade from adult clothes. It was extremely disproportionate to her weak frame and even more so funny.
At this time, a sharp shout rang out, "Hurry up and climb in. If you disturb the interest of all the spectators, I will skin you if you look carefully!"
As the scolding gradually died down, the man raised the bamboo pennant in his hand and landed it on the girl's back again. One end of the pennant had already cracked, as if it had been caused by being beaten for a long time. .
With a 'pop' sound, the girl's body trembled in pain, she shrank her neck, gritted her teeth, and slowly walked towards the jar with a small mouth and a big belly on the ground.
But I saw that the jar was not too high and just reached the girl's chest. The mouth of the jar was as big as a baby's head.
The girl swallowed hard, put her dirty little hands on the edge of the black altar, her feet left the ground in time, and then began to crawl slowly into the altar.
She first stretched out one leg, and after completely stepping into the altar, the other leg followed suit.
After a few tiny sounds of muscles and bones dislocating, she was seen to have half of her body submerged in the altar.
It turned out that these two people were performing bone-shrinking skills to get rewards from the spectators.
When it comes to the Bone Shrinking Technique, Ge Shu Wuluan is somewhat familiar with it, and he also knows the methods involved.
If you want to master this skill, it does not happen overnight. You need to first press and stretch the leg muscles, lengthen the ligaments, and practice muscle contraction, bone gathering, and meat folding for many years before you can master it.
Over the years, the body and bones have been severely damaged, and the pain during this period is unbearable.
The pain that a girl like that practices this kind of kung fu at such a young age makes people shudder to think about it, and the man who is forcing her to perform in order to get rewards can be called a cruel torturer.
At this moment, the girl shrank to her shoulders but got stuck at the mouth of the jar, unable to get down. Apparently she had not mastered this bone-shrinking skill yet.
A dirty little face was pale and tangled, as if he was enduring great pain, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this point, some spectators began to lose interest, and finally became impatient, and said sarcastically, "Tsk, what is this performance? How dare you show off your poor skills in front of the uncle? Put your shit away and get out!"
Then, several cheers came in response, "That's right, don't be embarrassed."
"Looking at the turtle hiding in an urn, it's better to watch the monkey show on the street corner. At least it's not so disappointing. Really, humans are not as funny as animals."
"Look at the appearance of these big and small ones. They are not as clean as beggars! The sallow face is probably due to tuberculosis, right? Let's disperse now. In order to see the excitement, you contracted a disease. Don't commit it!"
"What a damn bad luck..."
The dark blue figure hidden in the crowd frowned slightly after hearing these ridiculing remarks and abuses.
Lin County is famous for its simple folk customs, but the people here are so 'simple', bullying the poor and weak, and criticizing them with words!
It seems that Lin County was praised in the past for how it never closed its doors at night and did not pick up lost things on the road. 'The rumors are all false.
I wonder what kind of thoughts these people's words will have when they reach the king's ears
Brother Shu Wuluan was vaguely speculating, and turned his head to look at the monarch standing in the crowd, but saw that his face was gloomy. It was obvious that he was unhappy, and it could even be said that he was holding back his anger.
Suddenly, a charming and charming male voice came to my ears, "Right now, we have responsibilities, and it takes time and effort to do other things. Such trivial matters are not worth your attention."
As the words faded, a quiet orchid fragrance floated.
Brother Shu Wuluan didn't need to look back to know who was behind him. This time, he was not surprised by his sudden voice. He only curled up the corners of his lips coldly.
I saw him just taking his horse for a leisurely walk before, but he was here in the blink of an eye. This man would really come to join in any excitement.
Hearing such self-righteous words from him out of the blue, I really didn't bother to look back at him, so I just sneered, "You're so smart! Which of your eyes saw that I was trying to take care of you?"
"No? With Aluan's character, the 'drama' of drawing a sword to help when there is an uneven road is so vivid in my mind, why should I deliberately observe it? Ha..." Yan Qisha shook his head and said with a smile.
The phrase 'people' he pronounced was so flattering that Ge Shu Wuluan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over the floor.
The good-smelling male breath frequently sprayed into her ears. He seemed to be deliberately disturbing her mind. But damn, she was indeed disturbed by his breath and was filled with chaos and turmoil. She couldn't help but shudder. .
After recalling his words, it was obvious that he was making fun of her. Brother Shu Wuluan immediately became a little annoyed. He turned around and glared at the man, and said without any sign of weakness: "What do you care about me! If you have the leisure to show off your words and have fun, why don't you support me?" If you go to the stall and tell stories, maybe you can take the opportunity to make some extra money."
