In a certain village, three people were seen changing their clothes. Nangong Ying and Shangguan Yao also changed into men's clothes, and their hair was tied with cloth strips.
They had left Kyoto for two days. They first hired a carriage and then decided to walk, fearing that people from Kyoto would chase them out and drag them back.
Shangguan Yu's deeds of escaping from Kyoto and going to the frontier fortress were repeatedly blown away by Shangguan Yao in front of them. Naturally, it was impossible to use the same method.
Nangong Ying specially asked An Xili to sew three cloth bags for her. At that time, An Xili originally wanted to sew a cute little bag suitable for them to carry on their backs, and planned to design it carefully to ensure that they would be loved by children all over Kyoto. All envious.
But Nangong Ling found burlap from nowhere and gave it to her.
As a result, the three of them had ordinary cloth bags filled with urgently needed items.
Everything is available and fully equipped.
Shangguan Yao knew that today was their birthday, so he didn't want to treat them badly. He found a small shop to eat, and asked the shopkeeper to make two bowls of longevity noodles. He said cheerfully: "Eat, the shopkeeper is kind, I will give you more for each bowl." Ordered some noodles.”
"My mother cooks longevity noodles for me every year on my birthday. Today is your birthday. I wish you a long life."
Nangong Ying took it with a smile and was not picky at all: "It smells delicious. Yaoyao will eat it with us."
After Shangguan Yao picked a chopstick and gave it to Nangong Ying, he took another bite and said, "I will also live a long life."
Nangong Ling saw that the two girls were smiling so beautifully. She looked around cautiously, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she said, "You are boys now. You should behave like ordinary boys and restrain yourself when you smile."
"I know, 'brother.'" Shangguan Yao said with a smile.
Shangguan Yao was so happy now. She had never left the capital alone. She usually left the capital in a luxurious carriage. Her mother didn't allow her to do this or that.
However, what makes her most happy is that she and Nangong Ling have made a three-part agreement.
She didn't allow Nangong Ling to call her niece again, and she never mentioned that she had peed for him when she was a child. After the two reached an agreement, they changed their names for convenience.
Nangong Ling's eyes turned cold, and there was nothing he could do to her, but he still felt that he was at a disadvantage.
At this time, Nangong Ying and Shangguan Yao looked at each other. They were not restrained enough. They were almost dressed up as beggars.
His face was also smeared black, and his clothes, shoes and socks were made of coarse blue cloth. When An Xili was sewing the bag, he embroidered patterns on the bag out of good intentions. Anyone who knows embroidery can see this at a glance. It is from the hand of a master.
The three of them ate the noodles in silence and started walking again. At this moment, a woman with a round waist and a fat face came towards them, looked them up and down, and then said: "Kids, where are your adults? Why haven't I seen you? My lord, follow."
Nangong Ling also looked at the woman carefully and said calmly: "My father, mother, and uncles are selling wild boar and tigers in front. We are hungry. Let's eat some noodles here. Auntie, are you hungry too? I Ask the store to cook you a bowl, as my parents and uncles will be back soon."
When the fat woman heard that she had a father, mother, uncles, tigers and wild boars, she thought they were hunters in the mountains. Hunters who could kill tigers must be particularly powerful people. She immediately did not dare to offend them and said quickly: "Auntie is not hungry."
After the woman finished speaking, she left. After a while, the shopkeeper saw the woman leaving and came over. He said with concern: "Kids, just wait here for your parents. If that "aunt" comes again, you will be in trouble. If you yell, she won’t dare to come.”
