Four hundred and ninetieth chapters magic flame seven
Thinking of her marriage, Zhuo Yueling felt a headache again. She tightened her tight-fitting fox fur coat and wrapped herself in the white fluffy fox fur. She looked very comfortable.⊙,
"I've had enough of you wanting you to come. You little ladies don't know how you got here. You used all kinds of coercion and inducement!"
She grabbed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it into her mouth.
"Don't talk about this, Xiaoniao, have you bought the copy of "The Ballad of Pardons" that I want?" She immediately grabbed a girl next to her and asked hurriedly.
"Why are you in a hurry? I brought it, I brought it. What do you, Miss Zhuo, want, do we dare not obey your order?"
The girl looked helpless and signaled to the servant nearby to take out a small green bag from the carriage and handed it to Zhuo Yueling.
After taking off the wrapping cloth a few times, there was a booklet with a light yellow cover inside.
"I really don't know why you always like these weird and strange novels. What's the point of fighting and killing? It's better to find a good husband and marry into a good family and enjoy your life in peace."
Another girl said casually while eating.
"What do you know!" Zhuo Yueling liked these. She glanced at them twice and was immediately attracted by the illustrations above.
This is the most fringe area of the Plum Blossom Sect, and there is nothing special about the place where they live except for the guard who is said to be a master of the family.
Because there are no road guides and the journey is far and dangerous, many people have never even left the town where they live. Not to mention the strange and strange places, even the more ferocious wild animals are very rare.
Zhuo Yueling has longed to leave the town since she was a child and travel and have adventures in the colorful, weird and magical places recorded in books.
But with her three-legged cat skills, it goes without saying that her family would never allow it. So the only thing that could satisfy her curiosity were these messy fantasy novels, but they were very limited. After all, these days, the value of books is not small.
A few girls chatted casually, ate some snacks and drank some sake. Zhuo Yueling was so beautiful that from time to time she attracted some literati who came to recite poems to chat with her, but they were all chased away by her.
The girls led a total of eight domestic servants, all of whom were good soldiers. The guards were more than adequate, and they were not easy to mess with.
The girls were eating, playing, talking and laughing, which was a good way to pass the time.
While she was eating, Zhuo Yueling caught sight of a vague figure in the distance from the corner of her eye. That person had been standing there since they started eating, neither reading nor doing anything else, just being quiet.
standing there.
"Hey, look at that person."
she whispered.
Several friends followed her gaze.
"What's wrong with that person? Is he the literati who came here to look for inspiration?"
A girl said casually.
"But I've seen him standing there for a long time."
"Maybe to get your attention?"
"I'm serious." Zhuo Yueling felt really tired talking to these girls who were in love.
Although she didn't come up with any results, Zhuo Yueling still kept that person in her mind.
By the afternoon, they had all had dinner and were getting ready to get on the carriage and go back. The rest of the people who had come with them for the outing also got on the carriage and were ready to leave.
Zhuo Yueling then remembered the person from before and looked over there unconsciously.
At the slope, the man was still standing there motionless. It seemed that his posture had not changed.
"It's a little strange."
A curiosity suddenly arose in her heart.
"I'll go over and take a look!"
Without waiting for her friends and servants to respond, she jumped out of the carriage and trotted towards the man. The two servants behind her quickly caught up with him, both with bitter expressions on their faces.
"Miss, wait!"
"Wait for us and slide carefully!"
Zhuo Yueling, however, had practiced external martial arts and knew some footwork. She rushed out in a few clicks, leaving the two people behind her behind.
She, a delicate girl wearing a white fur coat, was actually faster than two servants dressed in smart clothes.
After running up to the man a few times, she could see clearly. The man was dressed in ordinary black clothes with no discernible quality. He was loose and tall. He was standing alone on the slope with his hands behind his back. He had a faint temperament that was different from that of an ordinary scholar.
She couldn't tell what his temperament was, but she just felt that this person was dressed similarly to those teachers, but he had something more than those ordinary teachers.
"Hello."
She slowly stopped not far from the man and called out.
The man rolled his eyes and looked this way. He seemed to have noticed her approach, and it was obvious that she was making a loud noise running over.
"Are you standing here alone? Are you frustrated?" Zhuo Yueling asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the man glanced at her, then turned away, ignoring her, and continued to look at the Wufeng Valley in the distance, as if his eyes could penetrate the fog in the valley and see the deepest scenery.
Zhuo Yueling was a little unhappy.
"Hey, are you deaf?"
"I'm not deaf." The man replied calmly. "Little girl, go back and forth wherever you come from."
Zhuo Yueling blinked and walked around the man.
"You are really a weirdo. Everyone likes me, and all those men's eyes light up when they look at me, and they can't even pretend. You actually chase me away?"
The weirdo was indifferent and had no reaction at all to her words.
At this time, two of Zhuo Yueling's servants rushed over and persuaded her to go back.
Zhuo Yueling was pulled back impatiently, and before leaving, she looked at the strange man curiously for a while.
As expected, the man's posture didn't even change, he still stood motionless.
After riding the carriage home, she was immersed in a sea of marriage talks again. Tired and bored, she took a servant and a maid out to relax.
She was bored, but she remembered the encounter in Wufeng Valley again. The strange man emerged from her heart, and her curiosity suddenly aroused again.
She was really bored, the town was too small, there was nothing new, and there were too few novels, she had already read them countless times.
In such a boring situation, the weird thing came to mind again. Out of boredom, she simply took two servants and headed towards Wufeng Valley again.
*********************
"You're still here."
Seeing that the weirdo was still there, Zhuo Yueling's eyes lit up. She seemed to have finally found something she was interested in.
The man looked indifferent and stood motionless, even with his eyes closed, completely ignoring her.
"Are you standing here alone, have you been here every day for so long?" Zhuo Yueling was extremely curious. She felt that she had found a good diversion from her boring life.
"Can I treat you to something? Tell me why you are standing here? Are you waiting for someone? Or did you fail the imperial examination?"
Zhuo Yueling walked around this man several times, mumbling questions, but none of them were answered.
There was a servant and a maid nearby who were a little afraid of encountering some bad guy. However, they were not allowed to come over under Zhuo Yueling's orders. They could only stay by the side.
After some inquiries to no avail, Zhuo Yueling was unwilling, but as the sky gradually darkened, she had to go back.
Before leaving, she was sitting in the carriage. She looked at the man standing on the grass slope from a distance, and suddenly thought in her mind.
"Isn't that person standing here even at night?"
Once this thought arises, I can't suppress it.
Her curiosity was suddenly aroused. Could that man be standing there at night?
A raging flame of curiosity burned.
After returning to the house, she couldn't help but found a time to go out at night and secretly came towards Wufeng Valley.
Rushing all the way there, she was alone. Although she had practiced martial arts, she was still a little afraid of the dark. She lit a lantern and carried it while walking on the mountain road. She always felt like something was following her in all directions, but she did not dare to look back.
I want to look back, but I feel unwilling to do so.
Her curiosity kept burning, but she finally outweighed her fear. She quickened her pace and soon left the city and arrived at the nearby Wufeng Valley.
It was midnight, and there was peace in Wufeng Valley. There were only the chirping of some insects and the whistling of leaves in the wind.
She arrived at the small slope from a distance and looked up. Sure enough, she could still vaguely see the silhouette of the man.
"It's still there!"
Her heart moved. She didn't know why, but after seeing that the man was still there, all the fear in her heart disappeared.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she slowly approached.
"You're actually still here!"
she asked quietly.
The man rolled his eyes and glanced at her without replying.
Zhuo Yueling came out alone. She didn't have any maids or servants with her, so she was very brave.
"Aren't you afraid of being alone?"
The man said nothing and stood motionless.
"Why don't you speak? Is your tongue sick?" Zhuo Yueling kept chattering around this man.
"What do you eat every day? Are you standing here all the time? Did you go out to eat, then come back and find your original position and stand still? Isn't that fun? Aren't you afraid of wild animals?"
But no matter how she asked, the man ignored her and looked indifferent.
Zhuo Yueling was curious for a while and then felt a little tired. Seeing that the man still ignored her, she went back angrily.
In the next few days, she would sneak out at night and go to Wufeng Valley to see the man. However, she brought food and drink to the man several times, as well as some incense cubes to repel insects and beasts.
For many days in a row, every time she went over, she would see the food and wine intact in their original places.
"Why don't you eat?"
Finally one day, she asked the man a little unhappy.
"You go back." The man finally spoke again.
He closed his eyes and couldn't see clearly what his face looked like at night, but he could faintly feel that his skin seemed to be trembling, and the muscles under the skin seemed to be very tight, which was very strange.
"Why are you standing here alone?" Zhuo Yueling felt that it was a miracle that the other party was standing alone in this wilderness without encountering the danger of wild animals for so long.
After all, although Wufeng Valley is safe, there are occasionally some passing beasts.
This man had been standing here for so long and nothing happened, which made her even more weird.
"I'm waiting for someone here."
The man replied calmly.
"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?" Zhuo Yueling saw that the other party finally spoke, and her long-standing curiosity was finally satisfied. She felt happy and spoke with excitement. (To be continued.)
