Chapter 332 Beaver and Lan Ruoqing
The body of the royal civet is a huge civet cat. The number of this civet cat is extremely rare. In addition, they once lived in the divine realm as the pet beasts of the god, so their status in the demon world is also very high.
So far, it seems that there is only one royal beaver left for the giant beaver clan, and he abides by the regulations that he can't marry foreigners, so he has not been able to marry and have children. He inherited the throne from his father about 300 years ago, and then lived alone in the mansion left by his father, enjoying the glory and wealth, making his spiritual world more and more empty.
When he was young, he was addicted to wine and sex, and often entertained guests in his mansion, but even if those people talked and laughed with him on the surface, they were still friends of wine and meat, and could not be related to him in their hearts. After waking up, his relationship with them ended, and the rest of the empty mansion was still himself.
Later, he began to travel alone. His original plan was to travel all the corners of the demon world, and then draw a more detailed map of the demon world than all the current maps. With this belief, his life suddenly became meaningful.
One person and one horse, galloping through the vast plains, the rugged mountains, the lively and noisy towns... Every scenery, even a flower and a grass, can make him experience the true meaning of life, but what really makes his soul belong is a small post station called silk bamboo.
The post station is located in a large bamboo forest. Compared with other post stations, the all-wood building looks a little simple, and there are few rooms inside, so there are not many people staying there. However, the royal civet was deeply attracted by the scenery here and decided to stay for one night before leaving.
In the space reserved for guests to eat and drink in the post station, a wall is completely opened. When the weather is good, the boss will remove the wooden board on the wall, so that guests can go to the terrace to enjoy the scenery behind the station.
The lavender sky, the emerald green bamboo, and all kinds of birds falling on the terrace from time to time form a beautiful picture, but the most beautiful thing is that when the moon is in the sky at night, pick up a pot of old wine and sit on the terrace leaning on the pillar, which will make people feel that the troubles and pain disappear without a trace.
He and Mrs. Lan met in this place. There are all kinds of beautiful monsters. There are not a few beautiful monsters he has seen. The women in the demon world know how to take advantage of their own advantages to show their charm to the extreme. Only this woman wears men's clothing, showing a heroic spirit between her hands and feet, which is naturally unforgettable.
Just as he sat alone under the starry sky and leaned against the pillar to savor the wine in his hand, the woman sat next to him without asking, put the three jars of wine in her arms between them and said, "Brother, although the beautiful scenery is good, do you have to share it with others!"
With the noble status of the prince Yuli, few people dared to talk to him like this. They just wanted to be angry, but they looked up and forgot about the other party. Seeing the true evidence of the woman's face, they had to shake their heads and were determined not to pay attention to her.
"What?!" The woman put her whole face close to him, looked at it carefully, and then sighed, "Oh, what a pity. This brother looks like a talented person, but he is a mute."
The prince smiled helplessly and took a sip of wine alone.
"If you can't speak, then listen to me. Even if you can't speak, it's good to have a companion to drink and enjoy the moon. Today is August 15th! I have always lived in that small place in Miancheng. This time I came out for a walk, I felt that I was really a frog in the well..."
The woman still said to herself, completely ignoring whether the prince Yuli was listening. And the prince Yuli no longer hated her rudeness as before. Listening to her tell strange experiences along the way and all kinds of stories, it made him feel more and more interesting. Unconsciously, there were more and more wine cans around them.
"I heard that there was a human fish treasure hidden under Dongyao's lake. When I went to Dongyao this time, I spent money on several fish people and asked them to take me to those places where the legendary treasure might exist. Guess what?" The woman pretended to blink her eyes mysteriously and continued to say, "The so-called treasure is the house they built with red coral. As long as you bring more night pearls to the bottom of the lake and take pictures of those houses like this, the original dark bottom of the lake is as beautiful as a fairyland. Brother, you should go and have a look when you have a chance!"
A breeze blew, with the fresh breath of the bamboo forest, which also made the drunken prince Yuli a little more drunk. He accidentally opened the chat box and said, "Interesting and interesting! Tell me what other interesting places are there?"
"Hey, so you can talk!" The woman looked unhappy, stared at him and then continued, "Since you can speak, let's introduce yourself first!"
"In the lower beaver, it comes from Yongchuan, the royal city." Wanghou Yuli thought about it and still signed up for a pseudonym.
"My name is Lan Ruoqing." The woman said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to have such a feminine name."
"I didn't expect you to have such a casual name with such a domineering look."
After joking at each other, the two looked at each other and smiled. They raised the wine cans in their hands and touched them with tacit understanding, and then looked up and took a big sip.
At this time, the boss of the post station came over and asked, "Two guests, what else do you need?" The little one is going to have a rest, too."
"Take out all the wine. Is this gold enough? I want to have a good drink with this brother!" Lan Ruoqing took out a large piece of gold ingot from his wallet and said.
"Enough is enough!" The owner of the post nodded repeatedly, thinking that the usually deserted inn was full of pots today.
Unexpectedly, it took a few seconds to be happy. When Lan Ruoqing threw the gold ingot to the boss, he was caught by the prince and threw it back to her. He took out his wallet and said, "How can a woman buy me a drink?" I'll pay the money!"
After saying that, he took out a gold ingot that was much smaller than Lan Ruoqing just now and handed it to the boss.
The owner of the post station immediately complained with a sad face, "This guest, what the guest just gave me was such a big piece of gold. No matter what you say, you should take about it!"
"The price of this I gave you is far more than the price of all your wine. It's always bad to be too greedy!" Although Wang Hou Yuli was not angry, his expression also had enough deterrent power
"Okay, then go on, I'll move the wine for you!" The boss had no choice but to put away the golden ingot and turn away.
"I said, Brother Beaver, are you too stingy? It's not easy for others to do business, not to mention that it is relatively remote and there are no guests. What can I do if I give more?" Lan Ruoqing said after taking over the gold ingot he had just taken out.
"If you let him taste the sweetness for a while, he will always have illusions in the future and think that the guests will give so much money. Once he finds out that there is no such guest at all, the gap in his heart must be much worse than now. Greed is that you always want to get more after getting it. Wanghou Yuli couldn't help but say his own truth.
"Brother Beaver, you must be unhappy. As monsters, we have so much time to waste. Why not relax and care about these little things."
Lan Ruoqing stood up as she said, shook her body and changed into women's clothing. The blue gauze skirt took advantage of her thin shoulders and slender waist to be more graceful. She danced in the moonlight, and her soft body made all kinds of difficult movements, which made the prince Yuli intoxicated. He didn't even know when the boss of the post station would take away the empty wine can and pile the wine behind him.
They chatted all night, and they didn't feel a trace of fatigue until early in the morning. Wanghou Yuli had never met anyone who could not only drink together, but also let him open his heart like this. He couldn't wait to stay at the silk bamboo station all the time.
But Lan Ruoqing said, "Brother Beaver, it's really happy to chat with you, but I have to continue my journey. If it's fate, we'll see you on August 15 next year, okay?"
Wanghou Yuli did not stay, but nodded and smiled, looking at the back of Lan Ruoqing riding away, who had changed back into men's clothing, and gradually drifted away. Although there are always some regrets in my heart, I also have expectations accordingly. Thinking of the same day next year, he and she will meet in this place, and every day of the year is full of expectations.
He and Lan Ruoqing have been keeping the promise to meet on August 15th every year, and the years have not changed for a hundred years. For a long time, the prince Yuli has never revealed his true identity, because only Lan Ruoqing is the most real and natural. He doesn't want to destroy this feeling.
When Lan Ruoqing told him that he had a partner, although he was faintly distressed, he still gave her blessings and promised to give her a big gift next year. Unexpectedly, Lan Ruoqing did not appear until the next year. After Xu Dunian, Wanghou Yuli still insisted on arriving at the silk bamboo station on August 15, but the boss also told him that he had never seen the woman who liked men's clothing again.
The prince sent people to inquire about Lan Ruoqing's news, but he got nothing. He thought he would never meet Lan Ruoqing again, but he didn't expect to learn that a woman who opened a hotel in the royal city was very similar to Lan Ruoqing. He ran to this hotel called Sparrow and saw that although Lan Ruoqing was much older than before, she was really right.
"Why didn't it appear in the Silk Bamboo Station again?" Wanghou Yuyu's tone did not seem to be questioned.
"Something happened..." Lan Ruoqing wanted to say something but stopped.
"Didn't you find a partner? Why did you come to King City to open a hotel? Wanghou Yuyu had too many questions, but he was more gratified to see Lan Ruoqing, who was safe and sound.
"Overnight, I became nothing and no longer in the mood to tell stories, so I hid alone for several years. But I thought that you, an old friend, were still in Wangcheng, so I came here, but I didn't know your address, so I had to open the hotel. The expression on Lan Ruoqing's face was very lonely, and he obviously experienced extremely painful things.
"Since you're here, come to my house and have a look!" Wanghou Yuli finally made up his mind to tell Lan Ruoqing his true identity.
