scholar.As soon as these words came out, many caravans showed expressions of being cheated. Everyone was in business, and the journey was far away. Money was originally a life-saving thing, and giving it away for nothing did not meet the standards of a businessman.
Binyuan thought very simply, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and he planned to go to this celebration banquet, so he was already ready to be slaughtered.Under the embarrassing expressions on everyone's faces, he stood up from the chair first, and said with a smile: "This is what it should be."
Afterwards, all eyes were on him, and Binyuan ignored those gazes with different eyes and waved her hand. The man in black who had been standing behind him took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, respectfully Pass it to Binyuan.
"My lord, although money can't buy the lives of soldiers, I am still very grateful to my lord for opening a way for us who have been running around for many years. I hope you can accept it." Enough of the aura of being neither humble nor pitiful.
As soon as he said this, some people who were still on the edge of their horns suddenly woke up.
This is on someone else's territory, even if they are [-]% unwilling, they can't fight others openly.What's more, if those bandits have been living on the official road, they, who are businessmen, will not get any benefits.After some people figured it out, they donated silver taels one after another, which was very generous.
Tomia glanced at Binyuan with a smile, and he could tell just by Binyuan's clothes that this person came from the 'Fusang Country'.In the final analysis, the two countries are not very friendly, and the favorability he had raised just now dropped to zero in an instant.It's just that he doesn't hate the person in front of him, at most he hates the oppression and harm that country has done to their country.
This is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and weak countries are always subordinate to the powerful. Although Tomia lives in a small city, she has a clear vision.
The celebration banquet that started at Weishi did not end until Youshi.When the three of them came out of the City Lord's Mansion, the sky was already dark, and they could still smell the smell of rice coming in through the open window while sitting in the carriage.
I don't know whose family gathered for dinner. Although you can't watch it, you can taste a little taste of home just by smelling it.
Leaning his head against the car window, Binyuan suddenly felt his nose ache, he was homesick.This body is 21 years old, and he was only 19 years old when he first inherited this body.
Before Binyuan came to this world, she was just 19 years old and a sophomore in college.He still can't remember how he died, that memory is very vague, and every time he thinks about it, his brain will hurt a little.
Thinking of this, he didn't think about it anymore, after all, he probably couldn't go back.He guessed like this, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and take care of his current life.
When they returned to the inn, the waiter left a small door open for them.
Bin Yuan dragged her tired body to the second floor, but saw a small object squatting at the door of her room.He jumped, thinking it was a thief.
Fortunately, Mo Ye has sharp eyes, and he can see that it is one of his own.
Mo Ye was going to wake up Aviku who was already asleep by the door, but Binyuan stopped him, put a finger to his mouth, and signaled them both to keep their voices down so as not to wake up the child.
"Where is his room?" Bin Yuan picked up the child and asked Mo Ye beside her in a low voice.
"The seventh room. Your Highness, let me do it." Mo Ye frowned and replied in a low voice.He always felt that his noble Highness shouldn't do this, and he always wanted to pick up the kid who occupied His Highness's arms, and then threw him back into that room.
"It's okay." Binyuan shook her head, told the two of them to go to rest first, and carried Aviku to the seventh room by herself.
A 14-year-old child shouldn't be so thin, not to mention that this child is a Southern barbarian with a strong bloodline.Binyuan didn't speculate on Aviku's bloodline, but in the final analysis, she only thought that he might have eaten too little, or developed too late.
He pushed open the door with his toes, put Aviku on the bed and covered him with a quilt, and took care of him carefully, just like taking care of his own nephew.
The red glowing charcoal fire in the brazier in the room was getting weaker and weaker, Binyuan added a little more charcoal fire in, opened a gap in the closed window for ventilation, and then exited the room and closed the door.
The footsteps outside the door gradually became smaller until they disappeared.
Aviku opened his eyes, and those clear and childlike eyes in the daytime became dark as ink.He greedily sucked the remaining breath of that person in the air, staring at the brazier, with unreadable thoughts flickering in his eyes.
The warmth that man gave reminded him of the father who ruthlessly abandoned their family.Before meeting Bin Yuan, what Aviku hated the most in the past 14 years was the Fusang people.Because they are eloquent and full of thoughts.
But getting along with each other in the past half month made Aviku more and more negative about the thoughts in his heart. He even sometimes thought that not every Fusang countryman was like his father, abandoning their families and children, and being cold and ruthless.As long as he thinks of this, Aviku's eyes will always appear in front of Aviku's eyes. Binyuan's pair of Ruifeng eyes that make people sink, and that gentle smile like the sun, can always dispel the darkness in people's hearts.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and every morning when I wake up, it seems to be snowing outside.
In mid-November, Binyuan designed several plans, and the products on each plan sold very well. In just a few dozen days, they had already earned enough money.
Each of those little wolves waiting to be fed has a specific owner to take care of them.Aviku also got one, a brown-gray little wolf. When it was lively, it looked a bit like a husky, with top-notch destructive abilities.
This inn, which was not doing very well, was almost contracted by their caravan.
After breakfast, Bin Yuan put on a white velvet ferret shawl and stepped onto the bay red horse.He wanted to visit the market in the city, so he didn't call many guards.In addition, the caravan is selling goods, and most of the people have gone to help, and the only one who can follow him is Mo Ye, his bodyguard.
The two rode horses, walking slowly one after the other, and soon walked from the south of the city to the market in the north of the city.
☆, lies
This is a rare sight of prosperity.Although Suohuan City is located in the trading center, the law and order is still very strict, and there are no bad scenes of miscellaneous miscellaneous and smoky.The two rode high horses on the road built of loess, and the road was unimpeded.
Both sides of the street are very lively, there are vendors selling things with burdens, and nobles take their families to visit the scenery, followed by a large number of servants, just like a mother duck followed by a bunch of ducklings.
The two of them didn't get off their horses but just observed slowly. Walking, the two came to an empty square one after the other.
Bin Yuan was surprised, only to see many iron cages piled up in the center of the square.He was stunned after just a glance, because the cages were not objects or beasts, but living people.
This is why... Bin Yuan got off her horse and said to Mo Ye behind her, "Go and find out what happened to those people locked in cages?"
"Yes." Mo Ye took the order, and led the horse to a short distance to inquire about things with the owner of a pork shop.
Those iron cages were very tall and large, and many people were imprisoned in each cage. They were either lying or sitting, and some of them had bloody wounds on their bodies.In such cold weather, even if you don't starve to death, you may freeze to death.Binyuan shook her head and forcibly turned her eyes away. He is not a saint, and he does not have that great ability to save those people.
Moreover, according to his careful observation, most of those people should not be very kind.After all, even though those people were locked in cages, they looked at pedestrians with a murderous look.
After a while, Mo Ye came back with the news he had inquired about.He didn't hide anything, he said it directly.
"They are the bandits who besieged for a month."
"Oh." Bin Yuan was surprised.He imagined many identities, but he never imagined that those locked in iron cages would be bandits from Taihan Mountain.
"What are they locked up here for? Beheading?" Bin Yuan frowned, really didn't like such a bloody scene.
"The butcher seller said that their bandit leader has long been beheaded. Those left behind will be used as slaves, and the younger ones will be sold as goods. Those should be commodities..." Mo Ye looked at his home worriedly Your Highness, afraid that His Highness will soften his heart for a while, and buy a few more slaves.
The bandits are not ordinary people. They have blood of ordinary people on their hands and have seen dead people. It is difficult for them to be loyal to the new master.
But fortunately, Bin Yuan didn't have enough sympathy to intervene in these matters.Under the rejoicing eyes of his bodyguard, he turned indifferently and led the horse towards the restaurant that had been agreed in advance.
The horse was led away by the waiter in the restaurant, and the two quickly went up to the second floor.
Under Xiao Er's lead, they came to a room that was isolated.The moment the compartment door was pushed open, the movement of the yueqin plucked came faintly.
Yueqin is a musical instrument similar to Ruan, but it is simpler than Ruan, with a shorter bar and a full round sound box.In the wing room, a young girl is holding Yueqin and singing in a low voice.
Although the singing voice is small, the timbre is crisp and soft, which is very suitable for this area where exotic ethnic groups gather.
As soon as he looked away, the foreign man who was sitting casually at the tea table smiled and said a word to the translator beside him.The interpreter next to him quickly invited the two of them in with a smile on his face, and said courteously: "My lord Duke said that he has been waiting for a long time, please take your seat quickly."
Taking a seat on the chair opposite to the foreign man, Bin Yuan cupped her hands and said, "I don't know if your lord has asked Bin out, what do you want to talk about?"
The translator standing behind the foreign man leaned over and translated in the man's ear.It was a language similar to classical English, and Bin Yuan could only understand the words 'Duke' and 'Come out'.
The blond man with deep double eyelids opened his lips and said cheerful words: "Mr. Bin came out to venture out at such a young age. I really admire him. I am very happy to be able to make friends with a colleague like you!"
"My lord duke said, you guys have traveled a long distance from Fusang country, and it's really hard work. I don't know if there are any special products of your country for sale. Your lord duke really wants to buy some back."
Bin Yuan glanced at the translator and was really shocked.If he didn't happen to be able to understand some English, it can be said that he was really cheated.What the blond-haired and blue-eyed man just said obviously didn't mean that, but the interpreter was really talking nonsense all day long.
But even if he knew it in his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously.
Bin Yuan smiled, pretending not to understand anything, and replied: "Compared with the duke's cutting of mountains and seas, this journey by Bin is nothing. Hehe, it is actually Bin who loves our country's products so much. an honor."
The translator leaned over and whispered again, and even distorted the meaning of Binyuan's words just now.I saw him say: "Your Excellency, the merchants in Fusang Kingdom are really greedy. He said, if Your Excellency does not buy anything, please don't disturb his business. Your Excellency... You came here sincerely, this person really It's the heart that fell into the money pit!"
After hearing this passage, Alp Desbert's face froze slightly.His emerald green eyes kept looking at Binyuan, who was smiling gently and behaved dignifiedly, and he always felt that it was a bit inconsistent that those words didn't match up with the man in front of him.
Then, Alp Desbert's smile was not as bright as before, but he still answered cheerfully: "Master Bin, what do you have? I heard that silk and satin are popular in your country, how do you calculate the price?"
Bin Yuan held the tea, pretending not to understand, and looked at the interpreter suspiciously.There was a flash of light in the translator's eyes, and a hypocritical smile hung on his rich cheeks, and he said flatteringly: "My Lord Duke said, whether it's silk or porcelain, the more expensive the better. Price is not an issue!"
"That's it..." Binyuan squinted his beautiful Ruifeng eyes, and took a deep look at the blond Westerner. She felt that this guy was really stupid enough. How much money was cheated.For the sake of this poor guy, Binyuan decided to help.
Holding the teacup in his hand, he was selling it, as if he was thinking about what price to quote.
The interpreter straightened his body, and his eyes, which seemed to be about to shine, carried calculations that were difficult to ignore.He was not afraid, no matter what price Binyuan quoted, he would double it, and it was unknown whose pocket the extra money would go into.
The teacup made a crisp sound when it was pressed against the table.
Binyuan replied heartily: "My lord duke likes it so much, why don't you take a stroll in the shop I temporarily rented. There are so many products, and it's too troublesome to report them one by one. Just write down which ones you like. Isn't that so?" Is it more convenient?"
Hearing this, the fat translator's eyes lit up again.After all, his employer couldn't understand the characters of the Nanman Kingdom, so if he fiddled with the quantity of goods, wouldn't it be a breeze.Having figured this out, the translator leaned down with a smile, and gave a flattering and tactful explanation.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Bin said that he has a lot of goods in his shop. If you want to buy them, you can go and see for yourself."
Alp Dursbert frowned. He really wanted to make a friend, and he didn't come here for the purpose of customers and shopkeepers.If it hadn't been for the young man's appearance at the celebration banquet, and his personality quite suited his taste, he wouldn't have braved the cold wind to invite people to the restaurant for a gathering.
It seems that this is indeed a money ghost with an empty leather watch. He remembered what his father had told him, that these seemingly stunning guys are wolves in sheep's clothing, and he can't wait to gnaw their bones.
"Mr. Bin is so open-eyed when he sees money. I really am blind. Then I will leave here." After finishing speaking, Alp Dursbert gave Binyuan a disdainful look, stood up and walked directly to the door. Regardless of the fact that the translator hadn't finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Bin Yuan picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, and drank the last sip.
Then, the bodyguard standing behind him said slightly angrily: "This Westerner is really rude! Your Highness, they are the ones who invited us out, and they are the ones who left before saying a few words, and the one just now The eyes of people..."
"Mo Ye, the Duke didn't understand what we said at all." Bin Yuan licked her lips, enjoying the sound of the music tinkling through her eardrums, and then said: "The interpreter beside him has been turning things around, It can be said that it has bad intentions and keeps tigers in trouble."
"What!" Mo Ye was startled, he didn't realize that the interpreter was so bold to tell lies in front of the two of them.
But after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't understand what the blond man was saying, and the blond man couldn't understand what they were saying either. If the translator played tricks at this time, it would really be irreversible.
"How did Your Highness find out?" Mo Ye asked curiously.
"What's so difficult about it," Bin Yuan smiled and glanced at Mo Ye, and replied: "Hey, this handsome brother, would you like to have adrink with me" (Hey, this handsome brother, would you like to have a drink with me?)
"Your Highness!" Mo Ye was startled, stayed for a moment, pinched his arm with his hands, and only came back to his senses when he felt the pain, looked at Bin Yuan in disbelief and replied: "Your Highness, you can speak Western languages! "
"Okay, okay, don't be surprised. I understand a little, do I understand a little? In fact, I still don't understand some of them, but I can understand the general meaning." Binyuan shook her head happily.Classical English is a bit like German, and it is too far from English in the 21st century. He can understand it all because his grandfather learned German when he was in school. He was enlightened and understood a little bit since he was a child.
Mo Ye calmed down, only felt that the rhythm of the woman playing the piano behind the baffle seemed to have been cut off just now, and now she picked it up leisurely.
Binyuan also realized that the girl playing the piano probably heard the words just now, and the two looked at each other, then Binyuan said to the girl behind the fender: "Girl, I hope you will be conservative with what you just said. Thanks!"
The sound of the piano stopped leisurely, and then, a voice like a sparrow came from behind the baffle and replied: "Yes, I will save it."
Seeing that the other party readily agreed, Binyuan took out a piece of silver from her cuff and put it on the table, and left the room.
After the two left, the girl holding the Yueqin came to the table in a small step, took a look at the money on the table, and felt that she should take it or not, and struggled for a moment in annoyance, before reaching out to put the money in. in the purse.
Jingyu's daily income is not high, because there are a lot of tourists who can play and sing in this restaurant, and there are so many people in every restaurant who sing like her that is not outstanding and no one praises them.
Originally, it was not she who was going to play and sing in this upper-class room, but her twin sister. Unfortunately, her sister was sick and bedridden recently, and she had to do all the work of her sister one by one so as not to show her flaws.
☆、Auction
After coming out of the inn, it was already dark, and the red lanterns illuminated the entire long street, stretching people's shadows obliquely.As soon as the two of them walked to the door, a gust of cold wind enveloped Binyuan, making her shiver from head to toe.
Mo Ye put the cloak in his hand on His Highness's shoulders, and was about to help His Highness mount the horse, when the street, illuminated by red lanterns, was suddenly crowded with people, and the crowd ran in one direction.
Binyuan led the horse and was forced to stay at the entrance of the restaurant. The little second who sent the two out saw Binyuan's curious look, and explained: "The two guests must be foreigners."
"Indeed." Bin Yuan nodded, her smile was like a cherry blossom blooming at night, which made the shop waiter feel dull for a moment.
The waiter came back to his senses, and explained more attentively: "Those two must not know that tonight is the auction held by the city lord. The direction where the crowds are rushing is the official auction plaza. If you two adults are interested, you might as well go and see it. Look, maybe you can still see some pleasing slaves."
Bin Yuan frowned, the shop waiter's words reminded him of those people who were piled up in the iron cage on the square.
"This auction... is selling people?"
Xiao Er nodded, no shock, no doubt, and no anger, there was only admiration for the city lord between words.
"Of course. For those bandits who have committed many crimes, the city lord's auctioning them off is already the lightest punishment for them. Letting them live in this world to atone for their sins is considered kind!" The more Xiaoer said, the more excited he became, wishing I also rushed to the scene to watch in person.
Bin Yuan and Mo Ye thanked Xiao Er, led the horses, and walked towards the direction of the crowd.It was okay at first, but in the end the team became more and more crowded, and they couldn't get in with the horses.
Standing on the periphery of the square, Binyuan could only see the top of the iron cage and a big man standing on the iron cage and shouting loudly.
I saw the big man stepping on the iron cage, driving a slave out with a stick in his hand, greeted the slave mercilessly, and said seriously: "These are strong slaves. If you buy it back, you can be a coolie, or you can be a housekeeper, anyway, you can do whatever you want, and the city lord will not hold you accountable if you die."
"Make a price!" Someone among the onlookers yelled, and then a large group of onlookers booed: "Make a price, hurry up and make a price!"
The big man who stepped on the iron cage smiled and waved his hand, signaling the crowd to calm down, and then began to preach: "The price is very cheap, don't worry everyone, let's start the auction from the middle-aged, one price, one price!"
As soon as the big man's voice fell, people began to offer one after another.
"One tael of silver!"
"Three taels of silver!"
The slave who was being watched and pointed at by the public was a strong young man with injuries on his hands and feet, and his hair was too long to cover his face, but his figure was not too ugly when viewed from a distance.Most of the quotations were some unrestrained aristocratic women from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. It is unknown what this person was bought for.
The auctions were coming to an end one after another, and the slaves who were locked in iron cages were crowded and screaming, and in the end there were only scattered ones that no one wanted to buy.
Although it was coming to an end, the square was still very crowded.
Binyuan led the horse and stretched its neck to wait and see, not paying much attention to the surrounding situation, but someone pushed him, and Binyuan suddenly fell into the crowd.
Getting up from the ground, the horse he was holding was also lost, he hurriedly turned his head to look around, there were all black heads all around, and he was not tall enough, so he couldn't see Mo Ye at all.
"Mo Ye!" Bin Yuan shouted.
Covered by an uproar, his voice was instantly buried.
The crowd suddenly started to surge again, Bin Yuan could only be squeezed to the front along the crowd, and then he saw those people who used to be bandits, and now they were chained around the neck by the man in charge of the auction like poultry, and the other The person in charge suppressed the slave, pulled out a red-hot copper pillar from the coals, and branded the word "slave" on the slave's cheek.
The smell of scorched flesh spread in the air, and the bloody wound was dark red.
Binyuan couldn't bear it, so she could only look away.Just as he turned his eyes away, there was a commotion in the square.Not knowing what happened, several people in charge who were controlling the scene suddenly yelled loudly.
"Catch that slave!"
"That guy escaped!"
"Hurry up and send someone to look for it!"
All such conversations are covered by the crowd.Binyuan couldn't figure out what was going on, and the crowd was commotioning again, running and scattered, and the chaos was too great.
Bin Yuan looked for her personal bodyguard in the chaotic crowd, but what she saw was still densely packed heads.He thinks it's better to forget it, it's better to go back to the inn first, so as not to find his own people when he can, and lose himself instead.
After thinking about this, he lost interest in watching the auction, so he took a shortcut and walked towards the inn.
After walking for nearly 2 minutes, the crowded street became evacuated, and many shops were closed, only the big red lanterns left at the door were shining for pedestrians to walk.
The weather is really getting colder... Binyuan wrapped her body in the cloak, let out a breath, and quickened her pace.
Turning into a dark alley, he only needs to take a few detours, and he can go straight to the backyard of the inn. The road is quite short.
It's not the first time she's walked this alley, and Binyuan is still very at ease about the security of Suohuan City, so she doesn't imagine small theaters such as robbery in alleys.
Seeing that he was about to leave the alley, there was an unclear object lying beside the debris piled up near the entrance of the alley not far away.Binyuan was afraid that someone's dog was tied up in the backyard, so she stopped in her tracks, and went forward to check carefully.
His night vision ability is very poor. Generally, people can see clearly at a distance like the ancients, but he can't.This good pair of eyes was spoiled by him always spending the whole night on the chopping board drawing design drawings.In the past, he often heard people say that reading in places with too dark lights is bad for eyes, but he didn't take it seriously.Now in ancient times, I didn't take it seriously, and my eyes just became like this.
When it gets dark, there is almost no distinction between humans and animals one meter away.
The object curled up next to the sundries sensed someone approaching, raised its head cautiously, and was ready to attack Binyuan at any time.
With the help of the weak light source outside the alley, Binyuan cautiously took two steps forward and finally saw clearly.
That's a person.
"You..." Binyuan looked at the bruises on the opponent's arms and legs that were bruised and purple from the cold, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you?"
The child remained unmoved, staring at Bin Yuan with eyes like a jackal, as if if the other party took a step closer, he would pounce on him and bite him.
Binyuan was startled by the child's gaze, and retreated habitually.
"I don't mean anything...your injury...if you don't take care of it, it will become the root cause of the disease..."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of dense footsteps came from outside the alley.Before Binyuan understood what was going on, a large group of servants rushed into the alley with big knives in their hands.
"Quickly grab that ghost! Don't let him escape!"
A group of people rushed to squeeze Binyuan against the wall, like a gust of wind.
Binyuan looked at the direction those people were chasing, and the child who was squatting beside the sundries just now had already disappeared.
Could it be...he is the escaped slave.Binyuan guessed, and as the cold wind froze his thoughts soberly, it reminded him that now he could not wait to soak in warm water all over his body.
Bin Yuan quickened her pace and went back to the inn, throwing away all the things still in her mind about the child.
But that night, he dreamed of the child.
so familiar...
I seem to have seen...
Where is it?
he doesn't remember...
In the dream, Binyuan's mind always flashed through the sky-high buildings, the endlessly flowing road, the roaring crowd, and the smog that could not see the sky.
Oh!He remembered!
Remembering where he had seen the child.
Before time travel, Binyuan always had the same dream when she was 16 years old.During that period of time, he thought he was in a daze, and he needed to take some sleep-promoting medicine every night before he dared to fall asleep.
He remembers that when he was 16 years old, he would always dream of a 13-year-old boy in his dreams.The boy was wearing a blouse with one arm exposed, shorts made of animal fur on his waist, and boots made of fur on his legs.She has short brown short hair fluttering in the wind, and her heterochromatic eyes always give people a cold feeling when they look at each other.
The child stood on the cliff of the Gobi, holding a bone flute in his hand and playing it, like an eagle hanging high in the sky, his voice was loud and clear, and the sound echoed in the canyon one after another.
The sound is clear and sweet, but it also has a hint of desolation. Perhaps the sound played by the bone flute is like this.
The scene of the boy standing on the Gobi cliff is particularly clear in Binyuan's 16-year-old memory. Although it was a dream, that dream continued to appear, accompanied by the sad and melodious sound of the bone flute, It seemed that the boy was calling for someone to go.
Waking up with a start, Binyuan rolled down from the bed unknowingly. He reached out and touched his hot forehead in a daze, then climbed onto the bed in a daze, and then covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
It seemed that he still had a cold, so he shouldn't have taken a bath and sat up most of the night before going to sleep.He was dazed and didn't know how long it had been burning. Maybe it was because his coughing sound was too loud. Mo Ye, who was sleeping next door, sensed something was wrong. He came to his door, knocked for a long time and no one responded, so he pushed the door and entered.
Mo Ye pushed open the door, and was startled by the cold air in the room. He didn't expect His Highness to go to bed at night without burning charcoal to warm the room. When he came to the bed, his Highness was already covered with sweat and his cheeks were flushed.
Without saying a word, Mo Ye hurried out to wake up Liang Yuci, who was sleeping soundly on the other side, and urged the other party to invite a doctor overnight, and go to the inn's kitchen to boil hot water by himself.
☆、Kons
People, it’s okay if you don’t get sick usually, but once you get sick, you can’t sleep well all night, and you can’t eat well. You want to go out to get some fresh air, but you can’t blow the cold wind. , After taking a bowl of bitter medicine, my tongue became numb for a long time, it was really miserable.
The wind outside the window was blowing, and the window paper wrapped in the oilcloth formed a layer of water vapor due to the temperature difference. Crystal water droplets dripped down from the oilcloth and gradually evaporated.
The room is very warm, and the lush charcoal fire explodes a few sparks in the iron basin from time to time.
The door opened with a creak, and Mo Ye entered the room carrying the meal, holding the wooden tray in one hand, and closed the door with the other.The sound of opening the door was very small, but it still woke up the person leaning on the pillow and squinting slightly.
Bin Yuan opened his eyes, his weak body made it impossible for him to get up from the bed, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.
Mo Ye put the food on the table, helped Bin Yuan up from the bed, put on a brocade coat for him, helped him get out of bed, and came to the table.
"Your Highness, this is the prescription that Liang Yuci just changed, and it is not so bitter anymore."
When Binyuan heard the words and looked down, she only felt a bitter taste bud, and her mood was extremely melancholy.
Unexpectedly, they took the medicine yesterday because it was too painful to swallow and vomited it out. Today they mixed the prescription with the meal, which really took great pains.
He smiled against his will and replied: "You and Yu Ci both have hearts."
After all, he picked up the spoon and took a bite into his mouth.The faint sweetness exudes the aroma of honey, and the aroma is wrapped in the smell of medicine, which is a mixture of five flavors.Sweet or not... Bitter or not... and a little salty.
Seeing the dignified expression on His Highness's face, Mo Ye asked worriedly but cautiously: "Your Highness, how does the taste...is it bitter?"
Binyuan glanced at Mo Ye, then at the bowl of soup, resolutely gave up eating, and said wearily, "Help me to lie down for a while..."
"But Your Highness," Mo Ye hurriedly held the bowl and said worriedly, "If you don't take the medicine, you won't be able to get better...Your Highness, please don't be self-willed."
Looking at the bowl of soup, Binyuan was really abused enough.In the past two years, he has never been sick. Just yesterday, it was the first time in his life that he drank an ancient decoction. The taste made him unable to describe it.Binyuan didn't know what the taste of dichlorvos was, and she thought it should be no different from this medicine.
If there is a second choice in life, he resolutely gives up taking medicine.
"Mo Ye, I think I'm much better..." Binyuan said sophistry, and immediately covered her forehead with a warm palm.
Because of practicing martial arts since childhood, Mo Ye has thick calluses on his palms.This pair of wide palms touched Binyuan's still hot forehead, no need to hide the lie, it will be exposed automatically.
He said solemnly: "Your Highness, are you under Kuang's command? Your Highness's forehead is so hot, and the disease is clearly still not cured. This medicine cannot be stopped. Please drink it, Your Highness!"
The tone of rejection is really unacceptable, and Binyuan can't tolerate sophistry.Staring at the bowl of soup and medicine as if encountering a sea of blood and deep hatred, Bin Yuan picked up the bowl angrily, and drank it down in one gulp, almost choking, but luckily she managed to finish it.
Seeing his highness go back to bed in a fit of rage, Mo Ye followed in a good mood and covered his highness with a quilt.
After catching a cold, her body was extremely weak, and Bin Yuan only felt that as soon as her head touched the pillow, her nerves began to enter a dream state.
After guarding by the bed for a while, Mo Ye cleaned up the dishes and quietly exited the room.Liang Yuci, who had been guarding the door all the time, saw Mo Ye coming out with an empty bowl. He was in a good mood. He followed him downstairs and asked, "Your Highness has finished drinking! How does it taste? Does Your Highness have any comments?"
Glancing at Liang Yuci, Mo Ye recalled the expression on His Highness's face.It is conceivable that the taste of this soup must not be good, otherwise His Highness would not be able to escape.If he hadn't used the provocative method to provoke His Highness just now, I don't know how long His Highness will wait until he is willing to take the medicine.
"What do you think?"
"Of course I think it's the best!" Liang Yuci patted his chest confidently, feeling happy that he was a good courtier who won the court and the kitchen.
"Shameless." After speaking, Mo Ye shook his head and went straight into the kitchen.
Liang Yuci was happy to be poured with cold water by the other party, and stayed for a while, then asked angrily, and shouted: "You are wrong! I didn't prepare your highness's meal, you see I've finished drinking this medicine, so it must be much better than yesterday's. I've already figured out the recipe for the medicine for the evening meal, so His Highness must be full."
The two satirized each other in various ways, but they were still non-stop preparing the medicine that His Highness needed.
The flow of people outside the cold and windy inn became scarce, approaching the depths of winter, the trees on the street had only dead branches.
A blond man in a knee-length robe dragged a man who looked a little like him along the desolate street.
The two look alike, both blond and blue-eyed,
Binyuan thought very simply, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and he planned to go to this celebration banquet, so he was already ready to be slaughtered.Under the embarrassing expressions on everyone's faces, he stood up from the chair first, and said with a smile: "This is what it should be."
Afterwards, all eyes were on him, and Binyuan ignored those gazes with different eyes and waved her hand. The man in black who had been standing behind him took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, respectfully Pass it to Binyuan.
"My lord, although money can't buy the lives of soldiers, I am still very grateful to my lord for opening a way for us who have been running around for many years. I hope you can accept it." Enough of the aura of being neither humble nor pitiful.
As soon as he said this, some people who were still on the edge of their horns suddenly woke up.
This is on someone else's territory, even if they are [-]% unwilling, they can't fight others openly.What's more, if those bandits have been living on the official road, they, who are businessmen, will not get any benefits.After some people figured it out, they donated silver taels one after another, which was very generous.
Tomia glanced at Binyuan with a smile, and he could tell just by Binyuan's clothes that this person came from the 'Fusang Country'.In the final analysis, the two countries are not very friendly, and the favorability he had raised just now dropped to zero in an instant.It's just that he doesn't hate the person in front of him, at most he hates the oppression and harm that country has done to their country.
This is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and weak countries are always subordinate to the powerful. Although Tomia lives in a small city, she has a clear vision.
The celebration banquet that started at Weishi did not end until Youshi.When the three of them came out of the City Lord's Mansion, the sky was already dark, and they could still smell the smell of rice coming in through the open window while sitting in the carriage.
I don't know whose family gathered for dinner. Although you can't watch it, you can taste a little taste of home just by smelling it.
Leaning his head against the car window, Binyuan suddenly felt his nose ache, he was homesick.This body is 21 years old, and he was only 19 years old when he first inherited this body.
Before Binyuan came to this world, she was just 19 years old and a sophomore in college.He still can't remember how he died, that memory is very vague, and every time he thinks about it, his brain will hurt a little.
Thinking of this, he didn't think about it anymore, after all, he probably couldn't go back.He guessed like this, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and take care of his current life.
When they returned to the inn, the waiter left a small door open for them.
Bin Yuan dragged her tired body to the second floor, but saw a small object squatting at the door of her room.He jumped, thinking it was a thief.
Fortunately, Mo Ye has sharp eyes, and he can see that it is one of his own.
Mo Ye was going to wake up Aviku who was already asleep by the door, but Binyuan stopped him, put a finger to his mouth, and signaled them both to keep their voices down so as not to wake up the child.
"Where is his room?" Bin Yuan picked up the child and asked Mo Ye beside her in a low voice.
"The seventh room. Your Highness, let me do it." Mo Ye frowned and replied in a low voice.He always felt that his noble Highness shouldn't do this, and he always wanted to pick up the kid who occupied His Highness's arms, and then threw him back into that room.
"It's okay." Binyuan shook her head, told the two of them to go to rest first, and carried Aviku to the seventh room by herself.
A 14-year-old child shouldn't be so thin, not to mention that this child is a Southern barbarian with a strong bloodline.Binyuan didn't speculate on Aviku's bloodline, but in the final analysis, she only thought that he might have eaten too little, or developed too late.
He pushed open the door with his toes, put Aviku on the bed and covered him with a quilt, and took care of him carefully, just like taking care of his own nephew.
The red glowing charcoal fire in the brazier in the room was getting weaker and weaker, Binyuan added a little more charcoal fire in, opened a gap in the closed window for ventilation, and then exited the room and closed the door.
The footsteps outside the door gradually became smaller until they disappeared.
Aviku opened his eyes, and those clear and childlike eyes in the daytime became dark as ink.He greedily sucked the remaining breath of that person in the air, staring at the brazier, with unreadable thoughts flickering in his eyes.
The warmth that man gave reminded him of the father who ruthlessly abandoned their family.Before meeting Bin Yuan, what Aviku hated the most in the past 14 years was the Fusang people.Because they are eloquent and full of thoughts.
But getting along with each other in the past half month made Aviku more and more negative about the thoughts in his heart. He even sometimes thought that not every Fusang countryman was like his father, abandoning their families and children, and being cold and ruthless.As long as he thinks of this, Aviku's eyes will always appear in front of Aviku's eyes. Binyuan's pair of Ruifeng eyes that make people sink, and that gentle smile like the sun, can always dispel the darkness in people's hearts.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and every morning when I wake up, it seems to be snowing outside.
In mid-November, Binyuan designed several plans, and the products on each plan sold very well. In just a few dozen days, they had already earned enough money.
Each of those little wolves waiting to be fed has a specific owner to take care of them.Aviku also got one, a brown-gray little wolf. When it was lively, it looked a bit like a husky, with top-notch destructive abilities.
This inn, which was not doing very well, was almost contracted by their caravan.
After breakfast, Bin Yuan put on a white velvet ferret shawl and stepped onto the bay red horse.He wanted to visit the market in the city, so he didn't call many guards.In addition, the caravan is selling goods, and most of the people have gone to help, and the only one who can follow him is Mo Ye, his bodyguard.
The two rode horses, walking slowly one after the other, and soon walked from the south of the city to the market in the north of the city.
☆, lies
This is a rare sight of prosperity.Although Suohuan City is located in the trading center, the law and order is still very strict, and there are no bad scenes of miscellaneous miscellaneous and smoky.The two rode high horses on the road built of loess, and the road was unimpeded.
Both sides of the street are very lively, there are vendors selling things with burdens, and nobles take their families to visit the scenery, followed by a large number of servants, just like a mother duck followed by a bunch of ducklings.
The two of them didn't get off their horses but just observed slowly. Walking, the two came to an empty square one after the other.
Bin Yuan was surprised, only to see many iron cages piled up in the center of the square.He was stunned after just a glance, because the cages were not objects or beasts, but living people.
This is why... Bin Yuan got off her horse and said to Mo Ye behind her, "Go and find out what happened to those people locked in cages?"
"Yes." Mo Ye took the order, and led the horse to a short distance to inquire about things with the owner of a pork shop.
Those iron cages were very tall and large, and many people were imprisoned in each cage. They were either lying or sitting, and some of them had bloody wounds on their bodies.In such cold weather, even if you don't starve to death, you may freeze to death.Binyuan shook her head and forcibly turned her eyes away. He is not a saint, and he does not have that great ability to save those people.
Moreover, according to his careful observation, most of those people should not be very kind.After all, even though those people were locked in cages, they looked at pedestrians with a murderous look.
After a while, Mo Ye came back with the news he had inquired about.He didn't hide anything, he said it directly.
"They are the bandits who besieged for a month."
"Oh." Bin Yuan was surprised.He imagined many identities, but he never imagined that those locked in iron cages would be bandits from Taihan Mountain.
"What are they locked up here for? Beheading?" Bin Yuan frowned, really didn't like such a bloody scene.
"The butcher seller said that their bandit leader has long been beheaded. Those left behind will be used as slaves, and the younger ones will be sold as goods. Those should be commodities..." Mo Ye looked at his home worriedly Your Highness, afraid that His Highness will soften his heart for a while, and buy a few more slaves.
The bandits are not ordinary people. They have blood of ordinary people on their hands and have seen dead people. It is difficult for them to be loyal to the new master.
But fortunately, Bin Yuan didn't have enough sympathy to intervene in these matters.Under the rejoicing eyes of his bodyguard, he turned indifferently and led the horse towards the restaurant that had been agreed in advance.
The horse was led away by the waiter in the restaurant, and the two quickly went up to the second floor.
Under Xiao Er's lead, they came to a room that was isolated.The moment the compartment door was pushed open, the movement of the yueqin plucked came faintly.
Yueqin is a musical instrument similar to Ruan, but it is simpler than Ruan, with a shorter bar and a full round sound box.In the wing room, a young girl is holding Yueqin and singing in a low voice.
Although the singing voice is small, the timbre is crisp and soft, which is very suitable for this area where exotic ethnic groups gather.
As soon as he looked away, the foreign man who was sitting casually at the tea table smiled and said a word to the translator beside him.The interpreter next to him quickly invited the two of them in with a smile on his face, and said courteously: "My lord Duke said that he has been waiting for a long time, please take your seat quickly."
Taking a seat on the chair opposite to the foreign man, Bin Yuan cupped her hands and said, "I don't know if your lord has asked Bin out, what do you want to talk about?"
The translator standing behind the foreign man leaned over and translated in the man's ear.It was a language similar to classical English, and Bin Yuan could only understand the words 'Duke' and 'Come out'.
The blond man with deep double eyelids opened his lips and said cheerful words: "Mr. Bin came out to venture out at such a young age. I really admire him. I am very happy to be able to make friends with a colleague like you!"
"My lord duke said, you guys have traveled a long distance from Fusang country, and it's really hard work. I don't know if there are any special products of your country for sale. Your lord duke really wants to buy some back."
Bin Yuan glanced at the translator and was really shocked.If he didn't happen to be able to understand some English, it can be said that he was really cheated.What the blond-haired and blue-eyed man just said obviously didn't mean that, but the interpreter was really talking nonsense all day long.
But even if he knew it in his heart, he couldn't show it too obviously.
Bin Yuan smiled, pretending not to understand anything, and replied: "Compared with the duke's cutting of mountains and seas, this journey by Bin is nothing. Hehe, it is actually Bin who loves our country's products so much. an honor."
The translator leaned over and whispered again, and even distorted the meaning of Binyuan's words just now.I saw him say: "Your Excellency, the merchants in Fusang Kingdom are really greedy. He said, if Your Excellency does not buy anything, please don't disturb his business. Your Excellency... You came here sincerely, this person really It's the heart that fell into the money pit!"
After hearing this passage, Alp Desbert's face froze slightly.His emerald green eyes kept looking at Binyuan, who was smiling gently and behaved dignifiedly, and he always felt that it was a bit inconsistent that those words didn't match up with the man in front of him.
Then, Alp Desbert's smile was not as bright as before, but he still answered cheerfully: "Master Bin, what do you have? I heard that silk and satin are popular in your country, how do you calculate the price?"
Bin Yuan held the tea, pretending not to understand, and looked at the interpreter suspiciously.There was a flash of light in the translator's eyes, and a hypocritical smile hung on his rich cheeks, and he said flatteringly: "My Lord Duke said, whether it's silk or porcelain, the more expensive the better. Price is not an issue!"
"That's it..." Binyuan squinted his beautiful Ruifeng eyes, and took a deep look at the blond Westerner. She felt that this guy was really stupid enough. How much money was cheated.For the sake of this poor guy, Binyuan decided to help.
Holding the teacup in his hand, he was selling it, as if he was thinking about what price to quote.
The interpreter straightened his body, and his eyes, which seemed to be about to shine, carried calculations that were difficult to ignore.He was not afraid, no matter what price Binyuan quoted, he would double it, and it was unknown whose pocket the extra money would go into.
The teacup made a crisp sound when it was pressed against the table.
Binyuan replied heartily: "My lord duke likes it so much, why don't you take a stroll in the shop I temporarily rented. There are so many products, and it's too troublesome to report them one by one. Just write down which ones you like. Isn't that so?" Is it more convenient?"
Hearing this, the fat translator's eyes lit up again.After all, his employer couldn't understand the characters of the Nanman Kingdom, so if he fiddled with the quantity of goods, wouldn't it be a breeze.Having figured this out, the translator leaned down with a smile, and gave a flattering and tactful explanation.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Bin said that he has a lot of goods in his shop. If you want to buy them, you can go and see for yourself."
Alp Dursbert frowned. He really wanted to make a friend, and he didn't come here for the purpose of customers and shopkeepers.If it hadn't been for the young man's appearance at the celebration banquet, and his personality quite suited his taste, he wouldn't have braved the cold wind to invite people to the restaurant for a gathering.
It seems that this is indeed a money ghost with an empty leather watch. He remembered what his father had told him, that these seemingly stunning guys are wolves in sheep's clothing, and he can't wait to gnaw their bones.
"Mr. Bin is so open-eyed when he sees money. I really am blind. Then I will leave here." After finishing speaking, Alp Dursbert gave Binyuan a disdainful look, stood up and walked directly to the door. Regardless of the fact that the translator hadn't finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Bin Yuan picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened, and drank the last sip.
Then, the bodyguard standing behind him said slightly angrily: "This Westerner is really rude! Your Highness, they are the ones who invited us out, and they are the ones who left before saying a few words, and the one just now The eyes of people..."
"Mo Ye, the Duke didn't understand what we said at all." Bin Yuan licked her lips, enjoying the sound of the music tinkling through her eardrums, and then said: "The interpreter beside him has been turning things around, It can be said that it has bad intentions and keeps tigers in trouble."
"What!" Mo Ye was startled, he didn't realize that the interpreter was so bold to tell lies in front of the two of them.
But after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't understand what the blond man was saying, and the blond man couldn't understand what they were saying either. If the translator played tricks at this time, it would really be irreversible.
"How did Your Highness find out?" Mo Ye asked curiously.
"What's so difficult about it," Bin Yuan smiled and glanced at Mo Ye, and replied: "Hey, this handsome brother, would you like to have adrink with me" (Hey, this handsome brother, would you like to have a drink with me?)
"Your Highness!" Mo Ye was startled, stayed for a moment, pinched his arm with his hands, and only came back to his senses when he felt the pain, looked at Bin Yuan in disbelief and replied: "Your Highness, you can speak Western languages! "
"Okay, okay, don't be surprised. I understand a little, do I understand a little? In fact, I still don't understand some of them, but I can understand the general meaning." Binyuan shook her head happily.Classical English is a bit like German, and it is too far from English in the 21st century. He can understand it all because his grandfather learned German when he was in school. He was enlightened and understood a little bit since he was a child.
Mo Ye calmed down, only felt that the rhythm of the woman playing the piano behind the baffle seemed to have been cut off just now, and now she picked it up leisurely.
Binyuan also realized that the girl playing the piano probably heard the words just now, and the two looked at each other, then Binyuan said to the girl behind the fender: "Girl, I hope you will be conservative with what you just said. Thanks!"
The sound of the piano stopped leisurely, and then, a voice like a sparrow came from behind the baffle and replied: "Yes, I will save it."
Seeing that the other party readily agreed, Binyuan took out a piece of silver from her cuff and put it on the table, and left the room.
After the two left, the girl holding the Yueqin came to the table in a small step, took a look at the money on the table, and felt that she should take it or not, and struggled for a moment in annoyance, before reaching out to put the money in. in the purse.
Jingyu's daily income is not high, because there are a lot of tourists who can play and sing in this restaurant, and there are so many people in every restaurant who sing like her that is not outstanding and no one praises them.
Originally, it was not she who was going to play and sing in this upper-class room, but her twin sister. Unfortunately, her sister was sick and bedridden recently, and she had to do all the work of her sister one by one so as not to show her flaws.
☆、Auction
After coming out of the inn, it was already dark, and the red lanterns illuminated the entire long street, stretching people's shadows obliquely.As soon as the two of them walked to the door, a gust of cold wind enveloped Binyuan, making her shiver from head to toe.
Mo Ye put the cloak in his hand on His Highness's shoulders, and was about to help His Highness mount the horse, when the street, illuminated by red lanterns, was suddenly crowded with people, and the crowd ran in one direction.
Binyuan led the horse and was forced to stay at the entrance of the restaurant. The little second who sent the two out saw Binyuan's curious look, and explained: "The two guests must be foreigners."
"Indeed." Bin Yuan nodded, her smile was like a cherry blossom blooming at night, which made the shop waiter feel dull for a moment.
The waiter came back to his senses, and explained more attentively: "Those two must not know that tonight is the auction held by the city lord. The direction where the crowds are rushing is the official auction plaza. If you two adults are interested, you might as well go and see it. Look, maybe you can still see some pleasing slaves."
Bin Yuan frowned, the shop waiter's words reminded him of those people who were piled up in the iron cage on the square.
"This auction... is selling people?"
Xiao Er nodded, no shock, no doubt, and no anger, there was only admiration for the city lord between words.
"Of course. For those bandits who have committed many crimes, the city lord's auctioning them off is already the lightest punishment for them. Letting them live in this world to atone for their sins is considered kind!" The more Xiaoer said, the more excited he became, wishing I also rushed to the scene to watch in person.
Bin Yuan and Mo Ye thanked Xiao Er, led the horses, and walked towards the direction of the crowd.It was okay at first, but in the end the team became more and more crowded, and they couldn't get in with the horses.
Standing on the periphery of the square, Binyuan could only see the top of the iron cage and a big man standing on the iron cage and shouting loudly.
I saw the big man stepping on the iron cage, driving a slave out with a stick in his hand, greeted the slave mercilessly, and said seriously: "These are strong slaves. If you buy it back, you can be a coolie, or you can be a housekeeper, anyway, you can do whatever you want, and the city lord will not hold you accountable if you die."
"Make a price!" Someone among the onlookers yelled, and then a large group of onlookers booed: "Make a price, hurry up and make a price!"
The big man who stepped on the iron cage smiled and waved his hand, signaling the crowd to calm down, and then began to preach: "The price is very cheap, don't worry everyone, let's start the auction from the middle-aged, one price, one price!"
As soon as the big man's voice fell, people began to offer one after another.
"One tael of silver!"
"Three taels of silver!"
The slave who was being watched and pointed at by the public was a strong young man with injuries on his hands and feet, and his hair was too long to cover his face, but his figure was not too ugly when viewed from a distance.Most of the quotations were some unrestrained aristocratic women from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. It is unknown what this person was bought for.
The auctions were coming to an end one after another, and the slaves who were locked in iron cages were crowded and screaming, and in the end there were only scattered ones that no one wanted to buy.
Although it was coming to an end, the square was still very crowded.
Binyuan led the horse and stretched its neck to wait and see, not paying much attention to the surrounding situation, but someone pushed him, and Binyuan suddenly fell into the crowd.
Getting up from the ground, the horse he was holding was also lost, he hurriedly turned his head to look around, there were all black heads all around, and he was not tall enough, so he couldn't see Mo Ye at all.
"Mo Ye!" Bin Yuan shouted.
Covered by an uproar, his voice was instantly buried.
The crowd suddenly started to surge again, Bin Yuan could only be squeezed to the front along the crowd, and then he saw those people who used to be bandits, and now they were chained around the neck by the man in charge of the auction like poultry, and the other The person in charge suppressed the slave, pulled out a red-hot copper pillar from the coals, and branded the word "slave" on the slave's cheek.
The smell of scorched flesh spread in the air, and the bloody wound was dark red.
Binyuan couldn't bear it, so she could only look away.Just as he turned his eyes away, there was a commotion in the square.Not knowing what happened, several people in charge who were controlling the scene suddenly yelled loudly.
"Catch that slave!"
"That guy escaped!"
"Hurry up and send someone to look for it!"
All such conversations are covered by the crowd.Binyuan couldn't figure out what was going on, and the crowd was commotioning again, running and scattered, and the chaos was too great.
Bin Yuan looked for her personal bodyguard in the chaotic crowd, but what she saw was still densely packed heads.He thinks it's better to forget it, it's better to go back to the inn first, so as not to find his own people when he can, and lose himself instead.
After thinking about this, he lost interest in watching the auction, so he took a shortcut and walked towards the inn.
After walking for nearly 2 minutes, the crowded street became evacuated, and many shops were closed, only the big red lanterns left at the door were shining for pedestrians to walk.
The weather is really getting colder... Binyuan wrapped her body in the cloak, let out a breath, and quickened her pace.
Turning into a dark alley, he only needs to take a few detours, and he can go straight to the backyard of the inn. The road is quite short.
It's not the first time she's walked this alley, and Binyuan is still very at ease about the security of Suohuan City, so she doesn't imagine small theaters such as robbery in alleys.
Seeing that he was about to leave the alley, there was an unclear object lying beside the debris piled up near the entrance of the alley not far away.Binyuan was afraid that someone's dog was tied up in the backyard, so she stopped in her tracks, and went forward to check carefully.
His night vision ability is very poor. Generally, people can see clearly at a distance like the ancients, but he can't.This good pair of eyes was spoiled by him always spending the whole night on the chopping board drawing design drawings.In the past, he often heard people say that reading in places with too dark lights is bad for eyes, but he didn't take it seriously.Now in ancient times, I didn't take it seriously, and my eyes just became like this.
When it gets dark, there is almost no distinction between humans and animals one meter away.
The object curled up next to the sundries sensed someone approaching, raised its head cautiously, and was ready to attack Binyuan at any time.
With the help of the weak light source outside the alley, Binyuan cautiously took two steps forward and finally saw clearly.
That's a person.
"You..." Binyuan looked at the bruises on the opponent's arms and legs that were bruised and purple from the cold, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you?"
The child remained unmoved, staring at Bin Yuan with eyes like a jackal, as if if the other party took a step closer, he would pounce on him and bite him.
Binyuan was startled by the child's gaze, and retreated habitually.
"I don't mean anything...your injury...if you don't take care of it, it will become the root cause of the disease..."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of dense footsteps came from outside the alley.Before Binyuan understood what was going on, a large group of servants rushed into the alley with big knives in their hands.
"Quickly grab that ghost! Don't let him escape!"
A group of people rushed to squeeze Binyuan against the wall, like a gust of wind.
Binyuan looked at the direction those people were chasing, and the child who was squatting beside the sundries just now had already disappeared.
Could it be...he is the escaped slave.Binyuan guessed, and as the cold wind froze his thoughts soberly, it reminded him that now he could not wait to soak in warm water all over his body.
Bin Yuan quickened her pace and went back to the inn, throwing away all the things still in her mind about the child.
But that night, he dreamed of the child.
so familiar...
I seem to have seen...
Where is it?
he doesn't remember...
In the dream, Binyuan's mind always flashed through the sky-high buildings, the endlessly flowing road, the roaring crowd, and the smog that could not see the sky.
Oh!He remembered!
Remembering where he had seen the child.
Before time travel, Binyuan always had the same dream when she was 16 years old.During that period of time, he thought he was in a daze, and he needed to take some sleep-promoting medicine every night before he dared to fall asleep.
He remembers that when he was 16 years old, he would always dream of a 13-year-old boy in his dreams.The boy was wearing a blouse with one arm exposed, shorts made of animal fur on his waist, and boots made of fur on his legs.She has short brown short hair fluttering in the wind, and her heterochromatic eyes always give people a cold feeling when they look at each other.
The child stood on the cliff of the Gobi, holding a bone flute in his hand and playing it, like an eagle hanging high in the sky, his voice was loud and clear, and the sound echoed in the canyon one after another.
The sound is clear and sweet, but it also has a hint of desolation. Perhaps the sound played by the bone flute is like this.
The scene of the boy standing on the Gobi cliff is particularly clear in Binyuan's 16-year-old memory. Although it was a dream, that dream continued to appear, accompanied by the sad and melodious sound of the bone flute, It seemed that the boy was calling for someone to go.
Waking up with a start, Binyuan rolled down from the bed unknowingly. He reached out and touched his hot forehead in a daze, then climbed onto the bed in a daze, and then covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
It seemed that he still had a cold, so he shouldn't have taken a bath and sat up most of the night before going to sleep.He was dazed and didn't know how long it had been burning. Maybe it was because his coughing sound was too loud. Mo Ye, who was sleeping next door, sensed something was wrong. He came to his door, knocked for a long time and no one responded, so he pushed the door and entered.
Mo Ye pushed open the door, and was startled by the cold air in the room. He didn't expect His Highness to go to bed at night without burning charcoal to warm the room. When he came to the bed, his Highness was already covered with sweat and his cheeks were flushed.
Without saying a word, Mo Ye hurried out to wake up Liang Yuci, who was sleeping soundly on the other side, and urged the other party to invite a doctor overnight, and go to the inn's kitchen to boil hot water by himself.
☆、Kons
People, it’s okay if you don’t get sick usually, but once you get sick, you can’t sleep well all night, and you can’t eat well. You want to go out to get some fresh air, but you can’t blow the cold wind. , After taking a bowl of bitter medicine, my tongue became numb for a long time, it was really miserable.
The wind outside the window was blowing, and the window paper wrapped in the oilcloth formed a layer of water vapor due to the temperature difference. Crystal water droplets dripped down from the oilcloth and gradually evaporated.
The room is very warm, and the lush charcoal fire explodes a few sparks in the iron basin from time to time.
The door opened with a creak, and Mo Ye entered the room carrying the meal, holding the wooden tray in one hand, and closed the door with the other.The sound of opening the door was very small, but it still woke up the person leaning on the pillow and squinting slightly.
Bin Yuan opened his eyes, his weak body made it impossible for him to get up from the bed, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.
Mo Ye put the food on the table, helped Bin Yuan up from the bed, put on a brocade coat for him, helped him get out of bed, and came to the table.
"Your Highness, this is the prescription that Liang Yuci just changed, and it is not so bitter anymore."
When Binyuan heard the words and looked down, she only felt a bitter taste bud, and her mood was extremely melancholy.
Unexpectedly, they took the medicine yesterday because it was too painful to swallow and vomited it out. Today they mixed the prescription with the meal, which really took great pains.
He smiled against his will and replied: "You and Yu Ci both have hearts."
After all, he picked up the spoon and took a bite into his mouth.The faint sweetness exudes the aroma of honey, and the aroma is wrapped in the smell of medicine, which is a mixture of five flavors.Sweet or not... Bitter or not... and a little salty.
Seeing the dignified expression on His Highness's face, Mo Ye asked worriedly but cautiously: "Your Highness, how does the taste...is it bitter?"
Binyuan glanced at Mo Ye, then at the bowl of soup, resolutely gave up eating, and said wearily, "Help me to lie down for a while..."
"But Your Highness," Mo Ye hurriedly held the bowl and said worriedly, "If you don't take the medicine, you won't be able to get better...Your Highness, please don't be self-willed."
Looking at the bowl of soup, Binyuan was really abused enough.In the past two years, he has never been sick. Just yesterday, it was the first time in his life that he drank an ancient decoction. The taste made him unable to describe it.Binyuan didn't know what the taste of dichlorvos was, and she thought it should be no different from this medicine.
If there is a second choice in life, he resolutely gives up taking medicine.
"Mo Ye, I think I'm much better..." Binyuan said sophistry, and immediately covered her forehead with a warm palm.
Because of practicing martial arts since childhood, Mo Ye has thick calluses on his palms.This pair of wide palms touched Binyuan's still hot forehead, no need to hide the lie, it will be exposed automatically.
He said solemnly: "Your Highness, are you under Kuang's command? Your Highness's forehead is so hot, and the disease is clearly still not cured. This medicine cannot be stopped. Please drink it, Your Highness!"
The tone of rejection is really unacceptable, and Binyuan can't tolerate sophistry.Staring at the bowl of soup and medicine as if encountering a sea of blood and deep hatred, Bin Yuan picked up the bowl angrily, and drank it down in one gulp, almost choking, but luckily she managed to finish it.
Seeing his highness go back to bed in a fit of rage, Mo Ye followed in a good mood and covered his highness with a quilt.
After catching a cold, her body was extremely weak, and Bin Yuan only felt that as soon as her head touched the pillow, her nerves began to enter a dream state.
After guarding by the bed for a while, Mo Ye cleaned up the dishes and quietly exited the room.Liang Yuci, who had been guarding the door all the time, saw Mo Ye coming out with an empty bowl. He was in a good mood. He followed him downstairs and asked, "Your Highness has finished drinking! How does it taste? Does Your Highness have any comments?"
Glancing at Liang Yuci, Mo Ye recalled the expression on His Highness's face.It is conceivable that the taste of this soup must not be good, otherwise His Highness would not be able to escape.If he hadn't used the provocative method to provoke His Highness just now, I don't know how long His Highness will wait until he is willing to take the medicine.
"What do you think?"
"Of course I think it's the best!" Liang Yuci patted his chest confidently, feeling happy that he was a good courtier who won the court and the kitchen.
"Shameless." After speaking, Mo Ye shook his head and went straight into the kitchen.
Liang Yuci was happy to be poured with cold water by the other party, and stayed for a while, then asked angrily, and shouted: "You are wrong! I didn't prepare your highness's meal, you see I've finished drinking this medicine, so it must be much better than yesterday's. I've already figured out the recipe for the medicine for the evening meal, so His Highness must be full."
The two satirized each other in various ways, but they were still non-stop preparing the medicine that His Highness needed.
The flow of people outside the cold and windy inn became scarce, approaching the depths of winter, the trees on the street had only dead branches.
A blond man in a knee-length robe dragged a man who looked a little like him along the desolate street.
The two look alike, both blond and blue-eyed,
