lucky to meet

Chapter 57

Chui, "So all the floating stars are the same?"

"There are others besides this, but all of them are too bloody."

Xia Yi was uncomfortable, most of the people here were wearing scantily clad clothes, some even wore a thin layer of sand clothes, sitting on the body of the man.A strong and strange fragrance emanated from the cave, making him feel hot.

"I'll go out first." Xia Yi turned out of the cave, exhaled lightly, and instantly felt much lighter.

"Why, have you never been to a place like this?"

"I haven't been there before. My family is very strict. If my father knows that I come to this kind of place, it would be easy for me to kneel down all night. You have to keep it a secret."

The two shuttled through the clouds and mist, and met few people along the way.Zhou Mingyu, "Don't worry, I won't tell your father." After hesitating for a while, he said, "Aren't your parents in a hurry about your marriage?"

Xia Yi is making excuses in his mind.Zhou Mingyu saw that he seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth, and said, "Is there something hard to say?"

Xia Yi shook her head and sighed, "That's not true. In the first few years, my mother was looking for a wife for me every day. I saw her, but I didn't see each other. My mother was worried. All the friends around her had grandchildren. Still empty-handed. Speaking of it, I am unfilial. I told her that I wanted to find someone I like to spend my life with, and I persuaded her, and now she only mentioned a few words now and then."

"That's it!" Zhou Mingyu said, "There is a teleportation array ahead, let's go to the next floating star."

"Mercury, isn't this floating star full of water?" Xia Yi walked on the street and looked around, seeing transparent light balls in the water, and strange-looking monsters swimming past from time to time outside the light balls. "How many light spheres are there in this water?"

Zhou Mingyu stopped by the side of the road to buy some food for Xia Yi. Seeing Xia Yi walking on his own, he reached out and grabbed Xia Yi's sleeve and pulled him back, "There are three thousand in total, and most of them are used for detention. Prisoners, this floating star is not called Mercury, it is called Prisoner Star."

"Prisoner." Xia Yi took the paper bag that Zhou Mingyu handed him, took out a small biscuit and put it in his mouth. The meat was rich in aroma, and he held it in front of Zhou Mingyu for him to taste one. "Then how many floating stars are there?"

Zhou Mingyu took one and said, "I don't know, some of them are stuck in a very deep place, and I don't know what's there. There are only dozens of them that have been used, and we will spend the night here tonight."

A few floating stars have been taken away, has this guy realized life or not?Xia Yi ate the small meatloaf, holding the paper bag to Zhou Mingyu from time to time, and the two of them chatted while eating.Xia Yi didn't know that Zhou Mingyu was so good at chatting.

As night fell, Xia Yi had eaten and was about to take a bath and sleep when Zhou Mingyu knocked on the door.Zhou Mingyu said to go outside, Xia Yi was confused and followed him outside.

On the roof, Xia Yi sat next to Zhou Mingyu, "Can we see the stars here?"

"No."

Zhou Mingyu stared at Xia Yi intently, and Xia Yi intently watched the lightning produced by the collision of countless light spots outside the light sphere.

Zhou Mingyu's gaze made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, Xia Yi didn't have the heart to appreciate such a spectacular scene, all his thoughts were focused on the gaze on his face.

From the time the two of them got on the roof, Zhou Mingyu kept staring at him, almost seeing through his face.

Xia Yi couldn't take it anymore, she turned her head and wanted to ask Zhou Mingyu if he had pimples on his face or if he had a lot of spots on his face.As soon as his lips moved, Zhou Ming happily kissed him lightly on the lips.Xia Yi was frightened and stood up...

Zhou Mingyu hugged Xia Yi in mid-air, and put him firmly on the ground.Xia Yi went upstairs at a loss and closed the door firmly.

This man is sick!What does he want to do, to develop him into a lover, a member of his harem?Fortunately, he still felt that Zhou Mingyu regarded him as a friend.Why did you make a mistake that you thought was just what you thought.

Zhou Mingyu was also at a loss. He was calm on the surface, but his heart was in a mess.He didn't want to be so quick at first, but he kissed her by accident.Xia Yi's reaction made him flustered.

That night, I tossed and turned, some were lying on the bed, some were meditating on the bed, one closed the door, and one opened the door.

The next day, Xia Yi kept silent about what happened last night, as if it never happened.At noon, he knocked on Zhou Mingyu's door and told him that Xia Yuan had written a few days ago saying that he would be back in these two days. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had to go back today.

Zhou Mingyu took him out of Tianfu City, Xia Yi bid farewell to Zhou Mingyu in the teleportation array, and ran away.

Zhou Mingyu...

"Qing'er, is there anything important going on recently?" Xia Yi dragged Xia Qing into the study as soon as he returned to the Xia Mansion in Tianluo City.

Xia Qing said strangely, "Master, you've only been away for a little over a day."

"It's only a little over a day!" Xia Yi felt that it had been a long time, "Since it's all right, accompany me back to Ziyang City in a few days."

I don't know if the two brothers have a good understanding, Xia Yi just returned to Ziyang City, two letters came from Nancheng, one is Xia Yuanlai's safe letter, and the other is a letter from shopkeeper Ming.

Xia Yuan wrote in a letter saying that he and Mu Xue are on good terms, and they have been working in Nancheng for the past few days, so let them not read it.

Shopkeeper Ming said in a letter that since the appearance of auspicious signs in Nancheng this year, for some unknown reason, it has not rained for several months and the river has dried up.The Surveillance Court did not find out the reason.Now that there is a shortage of water and food in and outside the city, the imperial court allocates funds to open warehouses to release grain and open porridge sheds, but it can only relieve the urgent need.

Xia Yi naturally knew the purpose of Uncle Ming's letter: Uncle Ming, you are fully responsible for the opening of the porridge shed and the allocation of food, do your best and resign yourself to fate.

Xia Yi knew about auspiciousness, but he didn't expect that auspiciousness had become a reminder.

Nancheng is windy and rainy all year round, but suddenly a vision appeared in the sky a few months ago. The city lord of Nancheng thought it was an auspicious omen, and on the Empress Dowager's birthday, he wrote a memorial overnight to flatter her.

But he didn't expect that this auspiciousness wanted to slap him in the face. Since the vision appeared, there hadn't been a single drop of rain in the past few months.The emperor blamed him, removed him from his post, and sent him to prison.

How many people are there in a city?

Xia Yimo calculated that an ordinary city has at least 300 to [-] million people, and Nancheng is outstanding, and the city has been expanded several times, probably no less than tens of millions of people.

The clouds reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window are a piece of red, which makes people palpitate.

Xia Yi put down the pen in his hand, got up to wash his hands, the water dripped back down his fingertips, "Father, mother, I'm going to Nancheng to see my brother, and I'll be back after I'm done."

……

The gates of every household in Nancheng were closed tightly, and now there were only a few hurried pedestrians in the once lively streets and alleys.

Overseeing the courtyard, Xia Yi stopped the head fairy who was about to go out to do some errands, and asked him to call Xia Yuan for help.The fairy chief told him that Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister Mu had just left and went back to the fairy gate.Xia Yi's heart was very uncomfortable, and there was only a little time before the two brothers could see each other.

The two stopped on the street, Xia Qing said, "Master, go back!"

Xia Yi raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at Taiyangdao, "Let's go outside the city first!"

Xia Qing knew his temperament, so he stopped trying to persuade him, and drove out of the city.

"Line up, line up, don't worry, everyone has it." Shopkeeper Ming called to the back of the line from under the porridge shed.

"Thank you."

"next."

"Thank you uncle."

"Uncle Ming."

Shopkeeper Ming was startled when he heard the voice, "Master, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look," Xia Yi smiled at the little girl holding the bowl and asked, "How is it?"

Shopkeeper Ming looked at the refugees and said with a sad face, "There is almost no water."

"What about the surveillance institute? Don't they care? With so many people, do you just watch them die?"

Shopkeeper Ming sneered and said, "Surveillance Institute, forget about the young master, just let fate."

Xia Yi took a deep breath, let it out slowly, let go of the suffocation left in his chest, and asked, "Uncle Ming, did you see the auspiciousness that appeared a few months ago?"

Shopkeeper Ming said solemnly, "Yes, everyone in the city saw it. At that time, a pair of huge transparent colorful wings appeared in the sky, like the wings of a bird."

"wing?"

"Yes, at the time I thought it was auspiciousness, but I didn't expect it to be a reminder." Shopkeeper Ming sighed.

Xia Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Ming, besides not raining, is there anything unusual?"

"It's true. On the day when the auspiciousness appeared, the livestock and poultry in the family were crowded in a corner, and they buried their heads on the ground. They couldn't scream. They were all right for the whole day and the next day." Shopkeeper Ming recalled this incident. The thing is also puzzling, but it has never happened before.

Xia Qing, "It looks like I was frightened by something."

"Be confident," Xia Yi patted Xia Qing on the shoulder, "Remove the image."

Shopkeeper Ming's back felt cold, and on the back of his neck, there was a ghost blowing cold air on him.In recent years, there have been more and more big cities in various dynasties that have been ravaged by monsters.Whenever he thought about whether there would be such a day in Nancheng, he would tremble with fear. He didn't expect this day to come, "Master..."

Xia Yi saw that Uncle Ming's face turned pale, and comforted him, "When the time comes, all the problems will be solved naturally, and it's useless to think about it now."

At night, Xia Yi lives in the inn opened by his family, drinking white rice porridge and a small dish of pickles.

Xiaowei rushed in from the window and jumped into Xia Yi's arms.The little nose sniffed in his arms, tilted his little head, a little confused.

Xia Yi was mesmerized by its expression, and rubbed its little face a few times, "What's wrong?"

Xiaowei broke free from Xia Yi's hands, ran to the table, and shook his head to show that he was fine.

"Seeing that you are in a good mood, it seems that you have done nothing wrong."

After Xiaowei listened, he parted his mouth and showed a big smile, and rolled a few times on the table.

"Little guy, do me a favor!"

Xiaowei turned his belly to the sky, heard the words, and pricked up his ears.Xia Yi flicked on its ear, "Help me feel it, look at the city
