Ah Feng walked awkwardly on the street. Next to him was Xia Lingxue, the eldest lady of the Xia family who was also Shen Xiu's fiancée.
To say that the two of them were not destined to be together, Ah Feng left Wang's Blacksmith Shop first and planned to go to the southwest of the city to have a look before going to the city center to buy something. By the way, Wang's Blacksmith Shop is located in the east-south of the city.
Ah Feng bought some snacks while passing by a few intersections and wasted some time. While waiting on the way to the southwest of the city, he met Xia Lingxue at an intersection and then walked together inexplicably.
Ah Feng began to think, the city lord's palace, the Xia family, is located in the north of the city, why would Xia Lingxue go to the southwest of the city? The southwestern part of the city is now a gathering place for beggars and poor people. Logically speaking, children from such rich families generally would not come here.
And why is this road such a long straight road without even a corner? Ah Feng complained in his heart
Ah Feng tried speeding up or slowing down, but for some reason Xia Lingxue always kept up with his speed.
Just when Ah Feng was puzzled, Xia Lingxue spoke: "Why are you following me?"
Ah Feng looked confused: "I followed you? Wait... wait a minute, you said I followed you? What evidence do you have to prove that it was me and you, not you and me."
Xia Lingxue continued, her attitude a little cold: "When I speed up, you also speed up. When I slow down, you also slow down. If you don't follow me, I can listen to the second explanation."
Ah Feng didn't know what to say after hearing this. Good guy, our acceleration and deceleration opportunities are integrated together.
Ah Feng said: "Uh... I said we have a good connection. What do you think?"
Ah Feng could clearly feel that his words had hurt the other person, and the other person's displeasure could already be written on his face.
Xia Lingxue said coldly: "It makes me a little unhappy to have a telepathic relationship with you..."
You don't need to tell me I see it on your face. Ah Feng thought
"If there is someone in this world who is willing to have a connection with you, I'd like to see what it's like."
I guess you will never see someone like me, a bachelor, with whom I have a similar destiny in this life. Ah Feng thought
Ah Feng said: "Okay, okay, it's not my intention to make you unhappy. How about you leave for a few minutes and then I go to my destination?"
When Xia Lingxue was about to leave, a person fell from the sky. A Feng and Xia Lingxue stepped forward to observe and found that the person was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.
The man who fell was about the same age as the master. He was an uncle. He was wearing a green suit, carrying a half-human-sized gourd on his back, and a gourd on his waist. It looked like he was from outside the city.
"Ha!" Uncle Calabash began to stretch, stood up lazily, looked around, and asked, "Where am I?"
The strong smell of alcohol when the uncle opened his mouth almost made Ah Feng faint. The uncle quickly recognized himself and said: "It seems that I can't drink while riding a flying sword next time."
"Private flying with swords is generally not allowed in the skies above the city. This should be the rule not only in Xueyue City, but also in most cities in the world," Xia Lingxue said
"Sorry, sorry, I was in a hurry and kept flying at night. I can't use wine to refresh myself next time."
After saying that, he picked up the gourd on his waist and started drinking.
The uncle said: "Little girl, did you say this is Xueyue City?"
Xia Lingxue said: "Yes"
The master said: "It seems that traveling at night is still useful. At least we can catch up."
Ah Feng asked: "Caught up? Is this the destination of your trip?"
"Well" the uncle started to stand up and pat the dust off his body, and introduced himself: "My surname is Jiang, everyone calls me Uncle Jiang. I am a casual cultivator who is constantly traveling. I came here this time because I heard about the Moon Girl in Xueyue City. Zhiwu wants to come and have a look."
Uncle Jiang asked: "What about you?"
Xia Lingxue said: "My surname is Xia and my name is Lingxue"
Uncle Jiang said: "Xia Lingxue, that's a good name. What about you, little brother?"
Ah Feng hesitated for a moment, "Uh...my name is Yi Zifeng, and everyone calls me Ah Feng."
Uncle Jiang whispered, "Will the surname Yi exist in the Eastern Region?"
Xia Lingxue obviously didn't believe it when she heard A Feng's name. "You said your name is Yi Zifeng? As far as I know, there are almost no Yi surnames in Xueyue City. I doubt whether you are really called this name."
Ah Feng said awkwardly: "Although Miss Xia may not know...or maybe she has heard of me, I am that good-for-nothing Yi Zifeng who studied in the same college as you."
Xia Lingxue observed A Feng for a while and said, "I always feel that you are different from two years ago."
Ah Feng just laughed awkwardly a few times and was not ready to continue the topic.
Uncle Jiang asked: "Little brother, is there any place to buy wine here? It's best to have the kind of wine that makes you drunk as soon as you drink it."
Ah Feng thought for a while and said, "I remember there is an old wine shop in the center of the city that has been around for more than 20 years. You should be able to buy the wine you want there."
Uncle Jiang said: "Okay, thank you."
Uncle Jiang walked a few steps and then turned back, "By the way, how to get to the center of the city?"
Ah Feng pointed in the direction.
Looking at Uncle Jiang's slightly drunk back, Ah Feng said to himself: "There have been many outsiders coming to the city recently."
"Well, when the festival comes, there will be many people from outside the city who come to watch the dance of the Moon Girl. I heard that this time even the city lords from the neighboring cities of Xueyue City are planning to come to watch." Xia Lingxue said
Ah Feng said: "Really? It makes me want to read it too."
Xia Lingxue asked: "As a native of Xueyue City, have you never seen it once?"
Ah Feng said: "I used to clean during the holidays, so naturally I didn't have time to watch."
Ah Feng continued: "But having said that, going to the southwest of the city..."
Xia Lingxue said coldly: "I have a general understanding of you from the conversation just now. It doesn't matter whether you leave first or go together. Walking is your right and I have no right to interfere."
Ah Feng said: "Well, although there is a courtesy that ladies are given priority, since you are not in a hurry, I will leave first embarrassedly."
Ah Feng had just taken a few steps when he felt a soft feeling under his feet. He realized that he had stepped on excrement.
Damn it, are you so unlucky? Ah Feng thought
A Feng glanced at Xia Lingxue behind him, pretended that nothing happened, and continued walking.
"Poof!" A familiar feeling came from under my feet
Ah Feng's face almost turned into "囧", and his expression was very ugly.
At this time, four little ghosts jumped out of the dilapidated houses on both sides, laughing and pointing at Ah Feng. "Look, he stepped on shit" "The prank was successful"
When the four brats appeared, Xia Lingxue's expression tightened.
Ah Feng smiled and said: "Is the prank you said true?"
The leader of the children said: "Of course, not only is the shit a prank on us, but also..."
The children took out snowballs one after another, with many maggots attached to them, and prepared to throw them at Ah Feng.
"Crackling"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Ah Feng pinned the four of them to the ground and spanked them rhythmically.
"You are stronger than us, but I will not give in," said the head boy
Snapped! "pain!"
"Hit someone without spanking, you devil."
Snapped!
"Sister Xia, help!"
Ah Feng looked at Xia Lingxue and asked, "Do you know them?"
"Well, let's let them get up first," Xia Lingxue said
Ah Feng let them go, and they immediately got up and hid behind Xia Lingxue, making faces to provoke Ah Feng.
Ah Feng asked: "Who are they?"
"Come with me first," Xia Lingxue said
Ah Feng followed Xia Lingxue. On the way, Xia Lingxue said, "They are orphans living here, with no relatives, no family, no money."
Ah Feng said: "It is still pitiful to be abandoned by the current Xueyue City in the southwest of the city."
The child said: "We are not pitiful, we have Sister Xia."
"Yes" to other children
Ah Feng sighed: "It seems that Miss Xia has a very high status in the hearts of the children."
"We're here," Xia Lingxue said
Ah Feng took a look and found that he was in front of an inn that had been deserted for a long time. Ah Feng followed Xia Lingxue to the second floor of the inn. Ah Feng looked around and thought: If it was before the famine, this should be a good medium-sized inn.
Xia Lingxue opened the door, and Ah Feng saw that there were one boy and two girls lying on the bed inside. Looking around again, the furniture or decorations inside are completely different from the outside, very warm.
The children behind Xia Lingxue rushed inside excitedly as if they were home.
When Ah Feng was about to go in, the two little girls on the bed let out ear-piercing screams.
"Sorry! Please go out first." Xia Lingxue hurriedly asked A Feng out.
Ah Feng stood outside, and the screaming stopped after a while.
"Sister is here, sister is here. It's okay, it's okay."
"Xiaocheng, come and help comfort me," Xia Lingxue said to Xiaocheng, the leader of the children.
Xia Lingxue came to the boy. The boy was lying on the bed with many bandages on his body and was very weak. The joy in Xia Lingxue's eyes could not be concealed.
"Sister Xia, you're here," the boy Xiaoping said weakly
"Well, how do you feel, Xiaoping?" Xia Lingxue asked with a smile.
"much better"
Xiao Cheng, the former leader of the children, came over and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Xiao Ping, today we played pranks with feces, and we did two pranks. Guess what, there was a fool who stepped on two pranks in a row today. He was really stupid. ”
"Also, we met a fairy sister this morning. She is so beautiful."
After Xiaoping listened, the bandage at the corner of his mouth moved, as if he had experienced it before.
"Xiaocheng, please pull the screen over" Xia Lingxue said
"oh"
Xiao Cheng skillfully opened the screen and then played in the room by himself.
Xia Lingxue gently took off the bandage, but it still hurt Xiaoping terribly when the bandage left the scab.
After a while, Xia Lingxue came out of the room. She looked left and right but couldn't see A Feng.
Leaving without saying hello is a bit rude no matter what. Xia Lingxue thought
When Xia Lingxue came to the first floor, she saw a faint fire behind a broken door. When he pushed it open, he saw Ah Feng squatting next to the small fire bed to keep warm.
Ah Feng stared at the fire boredly, and when he noticed Xia Lingxue, he simply said hello.
"Yo"
Xia Lingxue squatted down opposite A Feng and said, "I apologize for the children's prank before, if..."
Ah Feng said: "It's okay, it's just dirty. I can wash it when I go back and wear it."
Xia Lingxue said: "Thank you very much for not remembering the faults of villains."
"Hey, don't be like this. You are so respectful and make me feel uncomfortable. We were classmates before, so there is no need to be so different."
Ah Feng asked tentatively: "Who are those children?"
"They are all children wandering around here. Some are orphans, some have been bought and sold by their parents, and some have been food for hungry ghosts. I don't want to see them suffer, so I have protected them until now."
Xia Lingxue smiled slightly: "Fortunately, the owner of this inn has left long ago, otherwise I wouldn't know where to let them go."
"Sister Xia is so kind. She not only gives us a place to live, but also gives us so much food."
Xiao Cheng suddenly came out and said, desperately opening his hands to gesture at Sister Xia's food. Looking at Xiao Cheng's almost blushing face, A Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Ah Feng said: "It's such a big piece of food. How big is it? Can you give me some to try?"
"I don't care about a hateful person like you. You should go eat the snow outside..." Xiao Cheng said angrily.
Xia Lingxue scolded: "Xiao Cheng must not be rude."
"snort!"
Ah Feng laughed it off, and Xia Lingxue asked Xiao Cheng: "How are Xiao Ping and the others doing now?"
Xiao Cheng clapped his fingers and said, "Xiao Ping and Ding Li have gone to bed, An An and the others are playing in other rooms, and Yu Jiang and the others are still outside and haven't come back yet."
Xia Lingxue touched Xiao Cheng's head, "Xiaocheng is still reassuring. Thank you for taking care of others when I am away."
"Hehe" Xiao Cheng became shy
Xiao Cheng saw Ah Feng imitating his shy look, bending down and making faces from between his buttocks to taunt Ah Feng, which made Ah Feng laugh.
Ah Feng said: "I can't imagine Xia Bing in the past..."
Xia Lingxue was stunned
"Ahem, I didn't expect that Ms. Xia had such a gentle side in the past. Today I really opened my eyes."
Xia Lingxue thought A Feng was mocking her, and said coldly: "Is it weird that I look like this?"
"No, no, no, it's not strange. On the contrary, you are better like this. You used to make us feel like you were a lotus on the mountain and not approachable. Now you make me feel that you are more like a human being."
Xia Lingxue smiled slightly after hearing this, "Really? I'm better like this?"
"If... I die, will you feel sad?" Xia Lingxue stared at A Feng and said, more like talking to herself than talking.
Xia Lingxue's question stunned A Feng and Xiao Cheng. The only sound left in the room was the crackling sound of the fire, making it very quiet.
Just a few seconds later, Xiao Cheng hugged Xia Lingxue and started crying, "Sister Xia, are you going to die? I don't want it! I don't want Sister Xia to die!"
Xia Lingxue smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't die."
"I don't want it! I don't want it!"
"I'm just teasing you. Don't worry, your sister Xia, I won't die."
Xia Lingxue comforted Xiao Cheng for a while before she stopped crying. Rather than comforting her, it was more that Xiao Cheng fell asleep after crying.
Xia Lingxue put Xiao Cheng on the bed in the room on the second floor, covered her with a quilt and walked out of the room. A Feng was standing outside.
"The question just now..."
Xia Lingxue said: "Just think of it as a joke, I have to leave first."
A Feng looked at Xia Lingxue's back and scratched his head. He looked around at a loss and left the inn.
On the same street, at an intersection not far from the hotel, Bai Meng'an was walking with Lin Fan.
