Chapter 181 The teenager at that time

This wall is not big. On the contrary, it looks a little too short compared with its function of isoling nobleness and humbleness. I once stood not far away from the wall for observation. I could see that the wall was only as high as my chest. If you give me a distance to accelerate, I could cross it like a agile gerbil and easily reach the other side.

But in the school city, it can't be pleasant. Anyone who climbs over the wall without permission will die. Its name is the barrier. Because of the existence of barriers, I have never been to the old city, and everything here is new to me. I looked around uneasily like the girl just now, and I saw that the people in the old city hurriedly dodged my eyes, as if my eyes were poisonous, which made me a little ashamed and embarrassed.

The ferryman probably saw my predicament, so he whispered to me, "Don't look around. This is too eye-catching. They just feel that they are not worthy to look at you as they are. I think when a bachelor walks past you apprentices, you must be embarrassed to stare at the bachelor's face. Hey hey." At the end, the ferryman actually smiled. This was the first time I had talked to him for so long and he smiled at me. Although the iron face covered his smiling expression, it still made me feel particularly warm.

There is a sand road dedicated to the sand boat in the old city, which goes directly to the boat, where we get off the boat. The iron-faced man did not say anything, but motioned the girl to put her cloak on her body. Under my conveyance, the girl did so. It was a cloak with a hat, which looked very Western. The girl put her hat on her head, then shrank her neck, and then lowered her head. No one could see her face clearly. In addition, the cloak is quite fat, completely covering other parts of her body. If it is not known in advance, it is difficult to find that the little man hidden under the black cloak is a graceful girl.

The ferryman seemed to be very familiar with the old city. He looked back at me, and I quickly followed him. The ferryman no longer looked back and shuttled between the streets flexibly. But the old city is completely strange to me. In addition, the houses here are very similar to the new city. There is a sense of loss here, and my body will unconsciously think that I should turn from there, so that I can return to my residence. There are more pedestrians in the old city than in the new city. They look in a hurry and can hardly hear the sound of talking on the road. In this silence of language, only the rustle of boots after rubbing against the slate road with sand grains. The sound sounded like a vicious snake crawling on the sand and the sound of the scales on its abdomen. This made me uncomfortable, so I forced myself to follow the ferryman almost step by step.

The ferryman is much taller than me. I need to take two steps, which makes it not easy to follow. However, after a few steps, a new problem arises, that is, although I can barely keep up with the ferryman, the girl can't keep up. It's not like when I was still in the desert, I could hold her hand. Although this is the old name, I don't have to worry about meeting any acquaintances, but after all, she hides under the cloak. If we hold hands, it will be very strange to outsiders. After all, I have never seen anyone holding hands in the new city, probably similar to the old city.

In this way, while I was worried that I couldn't keep up with the ferryman, I was worried that the girl couldn't keep up with me and balance the distance between the two people. I really wanted to shout and let the ferryman wait for us for a while, but in this quiet street, there seemed to be an invisible and powerful one. His hand grabbed my throat, and the words that had reached my mouth were swallowed completely. The only result of this is that the ferryman and the girl are getting farther and farther away from me. If this situation continues, the three of us will be completely separated. This is a difficult choice for me. Should I choose to catch up with the ferryman or slow down and wait for the girl?

The ferryman is extremely familiar with the old city. He walks so fast that he is obviously busy doing something by himself and doesn't want me to keep up. I am dressed as an apprentice, which should be extremely conspicuous in the old city. It is no easier for the ferryman to find me. But the girl is different. If she gets lost herself, it is extremely dangerous for her. If she is found to be an outsider, she will probably be directly arrested as a slave, because the secret of the existence of Xuecheng cannot be leaked. As an outsider, if she can't become a bachelor, she will never leave Xuecheng forever. I'm afraid that her mother, who watches at home, can't even get the empty soul.

I wear an apprentice's robe and should be respected here. I can protect her with her and should be able to find her a safe place to rest for the night. It suddenly occurred to me that this was probably the intention of the ferryman. After all, he just said to let the girls stay in the old city for one night, and never said that he would be responsible for finding accommodation. In that case, leave all this to me.

Thinking of this, I put away my eyes chasing the ferryman and gathered back on the girl behind me. I stopped and even turned to walk in her direction. The tighter I am from her, the clearer I can see that her body is trembling gently under the cloak. It must be that the depressing atmosphere of the old city makes her a little scared. After all, even people like me who grew up in Xuecheng are not used to the atmosphere here.

I walked to her and gently pulled her cloak. She raised her head slightly to confirm my identity. Then she lowered her head immediately, so that at the moment she looked up, I only saw her pale lips. Thinking about it, she just saw the robe on me and lowered her head again. However, my clothes are special in the old city. I haven't seen any other apprentices since I've been here for so long, so I can confirm my identity without looking at my face.

Although I was wearing a thick robe, I could still feel the breath she exhaled and blew on me. I don't know if this is an illusion. Anyway, I stayed with her and began to wander around looking for a place where she could sleep. The first thing I thought of was to ask a passer-by, but the hurried people didn't give them a chance to speak at all. Finally, he stood in front of a person. He immediately lowered his head humbly in front of me, but the hand holding his throat seemed to appear again. I couldn't speak, so I had to withdraw and wave my hand to show He can leave.

I thought it was the problem of this street, so I took the girl in another direction, crossed a few streets and walked out of the street. Sure enough, when I left there, the shackles on my throat disappeared, and I suddenly felt relaxed, and then I immediately realized that although this was the old city, it was also part of the school city, and some parts were used by the bachelors like the new city. For example, in the street just now, if you don't know the specific method, how eloquent people will become a mute who can only open his mouth when they arrive there.

This seems to be the market in the old city. You can see some vendors selling all kinds of things. Their stalls are much larger than those in the new city, and they also read words in their mouths. Listening carefully, they are all about introducing their own goods. I am not interested in these. As an apprentice, all supplies will be supplied by Xuecheng, not the things issued by Xuecheng. They will be regarded as prohibited items and will not be used by apprentices. As for eating and drinking, all I need is cookies. The warmth it can bring me is not comparable to other foods. Many years later, it is still the same.

"This vendor's stall is so small, and they don't shout loudly. How can others know what they are selling?" The girl next to me muttered, and her rotten and crisp voice looked particularly pleasant under the turbid * of the market.

"You mean this vendor's booth is small?" This makes me unbelievable. In my opinion, this booth is big enough.

"Very small. In my hometown, even the stalls in the smallest market are much bigger than this. The girl said proudly, "I heard that Europa's business is also very prosperous, but it's a pity that I didn't keep up with my father's camel team this time. I hope I can catch up next time."

I shook my head vigorously to blur the scene of the bustling market from my mind. At that time, I was at a restless age. How could I resist that kind of prosperous **? After all, everything in this desert was really too monotonous.

Just when I didn't know how to interface the girl's words, a sudden greeting interrupted my thoughts. My respected apprentice, what do you two want to buy at my stall?

I looked up and found that since I entered the market, I seemed to have subconsciously followed the girl, and now the two of them are in front of a small booth. It can be seen from the street vendor's statement that he also regarded the girl as an apprentice in the new city. This is also understandable. After all, she wears a formal apprentice robe, and the girl walks side by side with herself. Obviously, she has the same status and will naturally be regarded as the same apprentice. As for the black cloak, many people in Xuecheng like to wear it, and it is not surprising that strange costumes are in strange places.

I turned my head to look at the girl and wanted to appreciate her beautiful side face again, but unfortunately, although she was focusing on choosing from her figure, the oversized hood completely covered the beautiful face.
