Luo Qian and the two walked along the road into the city gate, and next to the city gate stood an old woman, her hair was gray, her body was tall, her hands were trembling and majestic on crutches, and her face was wrinkled like rotten vegetable leaves stacked together.
She blinked her cloudy eyes, narrowed her eyes and looked at the men and women in front of her, the corners of her mouth pulled stiffly, and she barely made a smile, "If the two of you come later, the city gate will be closed, and those two will have to spend the night outside the city."
"The old man closed the city gate while he was here to guard?" Luo Qian asked uncertainly.
The old woman waved her hand and said slowly: "No, there is a magic array arranged by the lord of the city lord's mansion in this city, and it will be automatically closed at that hour." My wife and I are just waiting here for my grandson, who has not been home for more than ten days. As
soon as the words fell, the city gate behind him slowly closed, isolated from the darkness outside the city, and the lanterns on the inner wall suddenly lit up, shining with a faint red light.
Su Yingmo stared at the lantern and frowned, she turned around and asked, "Old woman, your grandson is out of town?"
The old woman nodded and shook her head, her white pupils flashed a touch of worry, and the wrinkles on her face folded like paper, and said: "I don't know, my grandson told me to go out to do errands, and when this is done, our family will not worry about food and clothing, and as a result, there has been no news for almost a month." I came out to look for it when I was waiting at home, and I looked for it in the whole city and saw no one. Oh, my desperate grandson, don't have an accident, otherwise..." The
old woman mourned and felt sorry for herself, thinking of her grandson, whose whereabouts were unknown, her whole body was shaking, and her wrinkles seemed to be a little deeper.
Su Yingmo's eyes flashed with pity, just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luo Qian with her eyes, although she was puzzled, she didn't say more, and obediently stood beside Luo Qian.
Luo Qian said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, don't worry too much, old woman, you see that it is dark this day, and the city gate is closed, or you should come and wait tomorrow, maybe your grandson will come back tomorrow." The
old woman's face flashed with disappointment, and she said no more, knocked on the ground with her crutches, and quickly turned into the alley.
At this time, Su Yingmo asked, "What did Master mean just now?" Why don't you let me comfort the poor old woman?
Luo Qian looked at the alley in the dark and said with a smile: "If that old woman asks you to help her find her grandson, can you help her?"
Su Yingmo didn't think much and said, "Don't help."
Luo Qian said, "I knew you would help... Yes? Halfway
through the words, Luo Qian was stunned for a moment, revealing a stunned look.
Su Yingmo said reasonably: "Although the old woman is pitiful, her grandson may not be pitiful, saying that it is to do something big may mean something that hurts the heavens and reason, if I find it at that time, I am afraid that the master will not be able to help but eliminate evil and promote good on the spot, isn't the old woman more pitiful when she looks at her grandson's ashes and cries bitterly?" "
“...... You have a point. Luo Qian held back such a sentence for a long time.
"And what the old woman said may not be true, not to mention that she searched all over the city, but her face was not the slightest tired, and her grandson was missing and did not report to the officials, even if..." The
girl perked up her words, and finally came to a conclusion: "So, ah, this kind of can only deceive a fool like Shizun, ah..." Su
Yingmo covered his head and looked at Luo Qian breathlessly.
Why is this master unwilling to admit the fact that he is stupid?
Luo Qian withdrew the hand that knocked on her head, and said with a kind smile: "Go, find a place to eat, isn't the apprentice hungry yet?"
"Good."
Su Yingmo smiled slightly, his eyes bright.
The night was falling, the master and apprentice walked, and the bird standing on Luo Qian's shoulder was a little eager, flapping its wings and urging.
.............
.............
At this moment, the outside of the city is dark, occasionally there is a sound of oozing crows, but the city is brightly lit, full of lights, and lively, and the two are separated by an old city gate, but it seems like two worlds.
Luo Qian and Su Yingmo walked on the street, the long street crossed the river, the shops on both sides of the stone bridge were lined with people, and almost every house hung several red lanterns, connected into a sea of red lights.
Several inns lean against the river, the pavilions are lit up, boats float on the river, and the scholars above look at the silhouettes in the silk tulle, singing about wine.
"Rock sugar gourd, freshly dipped rock sugar gourd, don't miss it when you walk by~" There are vendors on the street shouting.
Luo Qian's expression moved, don't look over at Su Yingmo, and wanted to ask her if she wanted to eat a bunch of rock sugar gourds, but he didn't think that Su Yingmo was not on his side.
"Master, do you want a bunch of rock sugar gourds?"
Luo Qian looked back, under the light, the girl smiled delicately, carrying a grass target on her shoulder, and strings of various rock sugar gourds were inserted on it, like layers of blooming petals.
Saying that, the girl picked a bunch of rock sugar gourds from above and handed them to Luo Qian.
Yiyi glanced at Luo Qian, jumped on Su Yingmo's shoulder without the slightest hesitation, arched her snow neck affectionately, coaxed Su Yingmo giggled, and also gave her a string.
Yiyi simply sat on the girl's shoulders, grabbed the tail of the stick with her claws, bit and pulled out a sugar gourd with her pointed beak, and swallowed it.
Luo Qian looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, secretly moved in his heart, smiled, tasted one, and suddenly froze his smile.
Acid, really special acid, acid lost teeth. This was Luo Qian's only thought at this time.
"What's wrong, Master, isn't this sugar gourd sweet?" Su Yingmo asked curiously.
The girl also took a bunch, biting the top one and sending it to her mouth, her tongue nimbly licking the icing wrapped in the sugar gourd before chewing it and tasting the tender flesh inside.
"It's so sweet, what do you think, Master?"
She spit out the pit, and there was something crystal on her powdered lips, and she said sweetly.
"Well, sweet." Luo Qian said lightly.
"That Master is eating quickly, do you think that the sugar gourd bought by the apprentice is not delicious?" Su Yingmo said pitifully.
Luo Qian had no choice, so he gritted his teeth and ate another one expressionlessly.
Hey?
The devouring sourness in the imagination did not appear, and a sweetness permeated between the mouths, even melting the sourness that remained just now.
He looked at Su Yingmo and saw her sly smile, and he understood her prank.
"You....... Forget it, I won't punish you this time.
Luo Qian looked at the fairy-like girl in front of him and sighed.
"What is Master talking about?" The girl asked blankly, as if she really didn't know.
"It's nothing, I'll take you to find a restaurant to eat."
"Okay."
"By the way, Master, you can carry this."
"Why?"
"The apprentice's body is so weak, how can he hold it."
"It's okay..."
