The two of them walked out of the shopping mall gate. It was already a little deserted outside, and the slightly cold air in the middle of the night hit their faces. This made Tao Bihong shrink her neck, but soon she forced herself to pretend not to be cold, and only held Luo Song in her arms.
His arms became tighter.
"Are you cold?" Tao Bihong asked.
"It's not cold." Luo Song said.
"I didn't expect the temperature to drop at night," Tao Bihong said.
"Yes! It's getting late, let me take you home!" Luo Song said.
"...Yeah!" Tao Bihong nodded, and walked with Luo Song to where they parked their cars.
"My sister told my grandpa about my boyfriend. Last night, my grandpa called me. He said that he dreamed that I got married, and suggested that I bring my boyfriend back to show him."
Tao Bihong said suddenly.
"Are you going to meet your parents? I..." Luo Song was a little panicked and asked casually, "Is your grandpa in good health?"
"That's great! He gets up early every morning and exercises in the yard." Tao Bihong said with a smile at first, then a little depressed, "But he is old, he is eighty-five this year."
"We will also grow old..." Luo Song scratched his head and said.
"I won't." Tao Bihong said with a determined expression, "In a few years, when I am 25 years old, I will not grow any longer. Every year from now on, I will be 25 years old, unless I want to grow again.
"
"I have heard similar words said by some celebrities on the Internet before. She was in her early thirties at the time, and now she is almost fifty, and she no longer says these words." Luo Song muttered in his heart.
"Ah..." Tao Bihong suddenly shouted. Luo Song was startled. He turned his head and saw Tao Bihong staring up at the night sky. He continued to shout, "God! I want to wake up."
The power of eternal youth!”
Luo Song subconsciously turned around and looked around. A taxi drove by slowly. The driver's window was open. The taxi driver turned to look at them. There was a young couple cuddling together in the distance, and they followed the sound and came over.
"Senior...what are you doing!" Tao Bihong was dragged away by Luo Song. She opened her eyes wide and grinned while being dragged away by him. She kept asking him what he was doing and threatened Luo Song to beat him, but
When Luo Song stopped, she stopped talking and just stood by the side with a silly grin.
Luo Song touched her head and said, "Tao Bihong, I didn't expect you to be so good..."
"Hehe, senior, don't you like me like this?" Tao Bihong smiled brightly, "It's a pity it's too late, now I'm your girlfriend, you have to like me even if you don't like me."
"No matter what you are like, I like you." Luo Song blurted out.
Tao Bihong blinked her eyes, and her face suddenly turned pink. She reached out and patted Luo Song's arm gently, and whispered, "Senior, where did you learn this?"
"..." Luo Song didn't answer. He put his arm around Tao Bihong's shoulders and pushed her forward, restraining her movements in the process so that she couldn't continue in the second grade.
What should I do about the fact that my girlfriend is a middle school girl? When Luo Song returned home, he immediately searched the Internet.
…………
The fog in the early morning was extremely heavy, and there was even thick fog visible to the naked eye floating away on the ground in front of me, making people feel as if they were walking in the sky.
A crisp ringing of horse bells broke the morning silence, and then a carriage drove out of the thick fog and moved forward slowly.
"Luci, I heard that there are a lot of delicious and fun things at that market place. When you get there later, you can eat whatever you want, and don't be polite to me." Jing Jiu said with a smile.
Today, the old housekeeper Cha Tu gave everyone in the mansion a holiday. Jing Jiu, who had nothing to do, asked Lu Qi to go out with him and go to a nearby market.
"Jing Jiu, if we go all the way to play in such a far place, we won't encounter any dangers on the way, right?" Lu Qi, who is timid by nature, asked in a low voice.
"It's okay. I asked some people who have been to that market. The security along this road is very good, and there are patrols patrolling back and forth from time to time... Look, there is a patrol over there." Jing Jiu smiled.
Point far away.
Luci looked in the direction pointed by Jing Jiu's finger and saw three patrol members on horseback walking towards them.
The appearance of the patrol made Lu Qi feel at ease. The two sides walked towards each other and passed each other in a short while.
It was a bit cold in the morning, so Jing Jiu put one hand in his pocket, hunched his neck and put on his hood, and held the horse's reins with his other hand.
Lu Qi did not stay in the car, but sat next to Jing Jiu who was driving, sitting very firmly.
Luci leaned over slightly and looked at both sides of the road. Then she turned her head and whispered to Jingjiu, "Jingjiu, it's been several days since the boss left home this time. I don't know where he went or when he will be here again."
return?"
"Well, the boss is very mysterious. Let's not guess his whereabouts. We wouldn't be able to guess his whereabouts anyway... Besides, there are people who want to know when the boss will come back more than us." Jing Jiu said with a smile.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has sent people to invite the boss several times in the past few days, and she may send people again today..." Lu Qi, who had received the palace guards several times this day, muttered.
"Luci, your hair is wet from the mist."
"it does not matter."
"You should wear a hat."
"Oh...are we almost there?"
"We'll be there in a while." Jing Jiu tried her best to look at the fog in front of her. In the fog, she could vaguely see the house in the distance.
Then she sniffed, and the tip of her nose seemed to be stained with dew. "My face seems to be wet." Luci, who was sitting next to her, replied softly, "Me too."
"Hehe, Luci, maybe you have a runny nose." Jing Jiu obviously heard Luci sniffing, so she turned her head and joked seriously.
"No, I don't have a runny nose." Lu Qi quickly denied.
"Haha, I know, I was joking!" Jing Jiu laughed.
…
As the carriage gradually approached, the house in front became clear. Jing Jiu, who was driving the car, said to Luci, "We are indeed almost there, but we have to take a long detour to get there. It's still a long way."
"It's okay, it's not very far." Luci looked across the river in front of her and looked into the distance.
The carriage changed direction and continued along the river bank. There were obviously fewer weeds on both sides of the path, indicating that people often walked on it, but there were still dewdrops hanging on the grass tips, and no one had passed by it this morning.
There were some pebbles on the road, and Lu Qi's body bumped gently up and down with the rhythm of the carriage. At this time, she whispered.
"My family used to be like this. If you wanted to go to the market, you had to go out early in the morning. If you were late, the market would be closed. Now very few people go to such remote places to go to the market."
Jing Jiu listened to her, but looked forward, and saw some domestic poultry walking along the path.
Behind them was a young man holding a branch. He must be about fifty years old and almost an adult. He must be driving these birds to sell at the market.
Hearing the sound of a carriage behind him, the young man paused and turned to look at Jing Jiu and Luci. But he quickly retracted his gaze and continued to drive the poultry forward. At this moment, he only wanted to get to the market quickly.
, convert the poultry on hand into money.
Jing Jiu didn't say much and followed silently. Soon, Luci noticed that Jing Jiu was walking to the other side. She turned her head, looked at Jing Jiu, and asked doubtfully, "Jing Jiu, why did we change the route?"
"If our carriage goes directly over, it will scare the poultry, and they will definitely run around, and that boy will be in trouble." Jing Jiu explained.
"Oh." Luci nodded.
The road Jing Jiu changed was a bit narrow, but if you walk forward for a while and pass the boy, you can still return to the original road. The distance is almost the same.
Jing Jiu and Luci, who were sitting in the carriage, would occasionally turn their heads and look behind them. After all, the carriage was much faster than walking on foot. After a while, the young man disappeared from their sight.
At this time, they looked up and saw that the entire town in the distance was in sight, but it was all submerged in the mist. Only half of the houses and trees on the mountain in the distance could be seen.
"It's finally here." Luci said happily.
Jing Jiu nodded, flicked the reins in his hand, and the horse moved forward slightly faster.
This market town is indeed a bit far away. It takes more than an hour to walk from home by horse-drawn carriage.
The two white elf girls went out early in the morning and didn't arrive in the town until almost ten o'clock.
Although it took a lot of effort on the road, fortunately the prosperity and excitement of the town did not disappoint them.
Moreover, there are stalls selling fried cakes and candy on the roadside, and there are middle-aged uncles walking around holding bunches of dried fruits to sell them. There are also a large group of people gathered around in some places, and these people are actually watching the performers.
Many of the people who come to the market to sell things are elderly people, all around 200 years old. They all wear patched jackets and trousers, their faces are covered with grooves, and they sell their own agricultural products enthusiastically.
Jing Jiu led the horse and turned its head left and right, watching quietly, and then told Lu Qi that there was something there.
After arriving at the lively market, the timid Luci became a lot bolder because of her curiosity. No matter what she saw, if there were people around, even if it was just a vegetable stall selling extremely cheap vegetables or herbs, she would
He had to lean over and take a look, his expression was extremely serious.
Not only did she stare intently, her expression was extremely serious, and she would stand there for a long time without even moving. In the end, Jing Jiu often had to pull her away.
It's a pity... Jing Jiu had just pulled Luci away. After a while, when she encountered a new stall, she approached it again, and now he wanted to pull her away again.
"I said Luci, look at you, you look like you have never been to the market!" Jing Jiu held the horse with one hand and Luci with the other, and asked full of doubts.
"Well... I only went to the market with my family when I was very young, and then I went to work in the house..." Luci said sheepishly.
"So, since you were a child, you have only been to the market once." Jing Jiu stopped and looked at Luci in surprise.
"Yes!" Lu Qi nodded, "Except for occasionally going home to visit relatives, I basically stay in the house."
"Um..." Jing Jiu looked at the girl who was a few years younger than herself sympathetically, and then she said with a smile, "I will take you out to play more often during the holidays."
"Yeah." Jing Jiu nodded happily, and then she whispered, "Can you bring Yuna and the others out to play together next time? They rarely go out..."
"Of course." Jing Jiu smiled.
Then the two of them found a place to store the carriage, and then started to visit the market. They bought candy, oil cakes, steamed buns, and dried fruits. They ate while walking, watching the excitement here for a while, and watching the excitement there for a while.
Very happy.
People from the surrounding villages all came to this small town to attend the market today. The further we walked into the small town, the more people there were and the more lively it became.
As we walked, a group of people lined up in a long queue, walking slowly and shopping while purchasing the goods they needed. The scene was very harmonious.
However, it is quite difficult to purchase goods. The difficulty lies in bargaining. People who come here to buy and sell goods cannot do it without bargaining.
Because local prices are different in each place, if you come here to sell things, the customers who buy your things may think that the things you sell are more expensive than what they buy in their own place, so they have to cut the price.
Luci couldn't do such a thing. She hardly went out. Of course she didn't know how to bargain. This kind of thing still had to be decided by Jing Jiu.
All she had to do was to ask Jingjiu to help her carry the things, and then put the purchased things into the cloth bag hanging on the horse.
Of course, the two girls could not carry much with them, so when the carriage was being stored, they left the carriage behind and led the horses out to act as their porters.
"Hey..." Lu Qi let out a long sigh, and Jing Jiu next to her immediately asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
"No." Lu Qi shook her head, hesitated again, and then said, "I don't even know how to bargain. I feel like a fool."
"Don't think so. I won't bargain at the beginning. Follow me out a few times and you will learn by watching..." Jing Jiu comforted.
"Yes." Lu Qi nodded heavily, secretly determined to learn the skill of bargaining.
Jing Jiu grinned, and then said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. I saw a vendor selling barbecue and bibimbap at the fork over there. It's quite delicious. Let's go buy a bowl. After eating, we'll go back and slowly put away these things.
stuff, and then return.”
"Jingjiu, I want to go to the previous stall to buy some wooden combs and give them to my mother and sister when I go home next time," Luci said.
"Okay! Let's buy a comb first." Jing Jiu said.
On their way to buy a comb, they passed by a small wine shop. Jingjiu went to buy two kilograms of loose wine, because the old housekeeper Cha Tu liked to drink this kind of wine.
Passing by a stall selling fish soup, Jing Jiu also ran to buy a large bowl and said he would drink it later when eating barbecue bibimbap.
"Ouch... you don't have eyes!" A nasty drake voice suddenly cursed.
"I'm sorry." Lu Qi, who was squeezed by the person next to her and accidentally bumped into a passerby, quickly apologized to the other person.
