After a short selection, A-Lan fell in love with a light green gauze dress that she liked best.
Perhaps it was the first time she wore the clothes of a Han girl, so A-Lan looked very excited, circling happily in the cloth shop, constantly asking Xia Shang if she looked good.
The clerks at Lijia Cloth Store took great pains to praise him, but Xia Shang could tell that they were not telling the truth.
Although this outfit on Ah Lan is not ugly, it is definitely not stunning.
Xia Shang had previously thought that a Li brocade dress would make this Miao girl radiant, but now it turns out that his thinking was too simple.
Miao girls have a unique taste of Miao girls, which is completely different from the gentle and elegant style of Han girls.
This kind of gauze skirt is more suitable for young ladies of the Han nationality. Only those with the softness of the eldest lady can match the softness of the gauze skirt. Miao costumes are tailor-made for Miao girls to highlight their individuality and beauty.
This kind of clothes is far less beautiful than the Miao clothes that A Lan wears with silver ornaments.
It's just that A-Lan is very happy, so Xia Shang naturally won't dampen A-Lan's enthusiasm, but praises her with a smile.
Not long after, A-Lan and Xia Shang came out of the Li Family Cloth Shop wearing new clothes. A-Lan, who was still immersed in excitement, walked happily, but the hem of the gauze skirt made her walk a little awkward.
"Brother Xia, where are we going now?"
"To eat, I heard that the best restaurant in Chengdu is called Yuelongmen."
"Is this a place to eat dragon meat?"
"..." Xia Shang was speechless and paused, "I don't know. Let's go and take a look before we talk."
Without going into details, the two of them asked passers-by, and then turned in the direction of Yuelongmen.
Sichuan cuisine has always been Xia Shang's favorite. After coming to Sichuan, Xia Shang has already experienced the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine. The dishes in the best restaurant in Chengdu will not disappoint Xia Shang.
There are not many people in Chengdu, but the city is very big. It takes a long time to walk from one place to another.
After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, I still haven't seen the shadow of Yuelongmen, but the sky is gradually getting gloomier.
Soon, a soft but dense drizzle began to fall from the sky, and soon the pedestrians on the street had a layer of silver on their heads. However, this drizzle made the air in the city cool and transparent, and every day
Every breath is like sucking the nectar of the early morning, making you feel more refreshed.
Xia Shang bought a small umbrella on the roadside. The umbrella could not be opened very wide, so the two of them had to hug each other tightly to avoid getting wet by the rain.
A-Lan naturally leaned against Xia Shang, holding Xia Shang's waist with one hand and holding his own skirt with the other, trying to follow Xia Shang's long steps with small steps.
The two walked quietly in the rain, looking very much like a young couple.
Chengdu became quieter in the rain. The Confucian scholar and the girl shared an umbrella and walked along the deserted ancient streets of the ancient city. The green of the girl's clothes seemed to be the only color in front of her, and the mountains and forests in the distant mountains outside the city were hidden under the mist.
Set against the dark green, it looks like a landscape painting with excellent composition.
The wonderful and poetic scene continued until a few monks with eccentric behavior appeared.
I don't know which street in Chengdu I went to, but the surrounding area seemed to be more shabby. In the alley, there were several monks wearing tattered robes walking towards Xia Shang.
The clothes of these monks are so shabby and their bodies are covered with dirt. If the beads in their hands were replaced by porcelain bowls, they would be no different from beggars.
But these monks are different from ordinary monks. They are all lean and have black and yellow skin. They are very strong at first glance. Moreover, they behave strangely. Every few steps they will fall to their knees and kowtow heavily.
Then he lay down directly on the ground with his limbs flat, and finally stood up again and continued the previous actions.
Because Xia Shang and A Lan happened to be standing on their way forward, the monks' movements seemed to be kneeling to Xia Shang and A Lan, and this weird way of kneeling made the two of them feel creepy.
"Brother Xia, who are they? They look a bit scary."
Xia Shang frowned, unsure: "I guess it's an ascetic, so don't get in the way."
Xia Shang said, and hurriedly pulled A Lan out of the way of Dao'er.
Xia Shang always thought that he was standing in the way of these monks, but he did not expect that the target of these monks was himself.
After he got out of the way, he found that the direction of the monks' movement had also changed with Xia Shang's movement.
The monks came over to Xia Shang again, still in the weird way of "three bows and nine knocks".
Xia Shang was stunned now. He looked around at his clothes, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.
But why are these monks staring at me?
If it were a different group of people and a weird method, Xia Shang would definitely speed up and leave quickly.
But this was a group of monks, and they were kneeling and worshiping in front of me, as if they had some appeal. It felt like a new official entering the city, and before entering the Yamen, people blocked the road and complained, and for a while they said
It's not clear whether the other person is a bad guy or a good guy.
At this time, Xia Shang froze on the spot and just let A Lan hold the umbrella and retreat a little.
Xia Shang felt that maybe these monks would tell him some unexpected information, so he waited until several monks were only two or three meters away from him and wanted to ask.
But before Xia Shang's words were spoken, a sudden change occurred immediately!
After the monks kneeling on the ground bowed their heads, their eyes changed when they raised their heads. Each one contained murderous intent, and they were completely different from the empty and godless expressions before.
Xia Shang dared not to do anything wrong. Knowing that these people had evil intentions, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the crossbow in his sleeve.
"Swish, swish, swish" sounded three times, and three crossbow arrows pierced a monk's neck directly.
The neck is a vital part of the human body, and blood flows very quickly. In addition, Xia and Shang's crossbow arrows are highly poisonous. If an average person is hit in the neck, it can be said to be killed instantly.
But what Xia Shang didn't expect was that after the monk was poisoned by the arrow, he saw a sickly green color immediately appear on his face, but he didn't show any pain or even shake his body.
Xia Shang was stunned and gave the other party a chance. The monk closest to Xia Shang who was hit by the poisonous arrow suddenly rushed towards Xia Shang.
The opponent's speed was not very fast, but because the distance was too close and Xia Shang was distracted for a moment, he arrived in front of Xia Shang almost in the blink of an eye.
This person didn't seem to know martial arts and didn't have any moves. He just wanted to hug Xia Shang with a bear hug.
Seeing that Xia Shang was about to escape, thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and a thin sword fell like lightning, directly piercing the monk's head through his entire body, nailing the whole man to the ground.
Before Xia Shang could react, someone grabbed his back and pushed him back more than ten meters.
Xia Shang turned around and found that the visitor was Chunjiao.
