Chapter 183 Belonging to Love?
It was not until my arm was a little sore that I heard the girl say, "Okui, let's see how it goes."
When I heard this, I quickly put down the mirror and looked carefully. To be honest, I didn't see any difference. The inferior bronze hairpin was only slightly exposed outside the girl's hair, and the rest was not in her hair. Cheap bronze appeared on her beautiful hair, how could it be shiny?
But I know the least politeness. Since girls like it, why should I say no? Anyway... she is leaving tomorrow. I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, as if there was something in my heart. Yes, she will leave tomorrow, and there is not much time left for us to get along with. After she leaves, my life will repeat to the past, go to class, finish classes and chew cookies every day. Although it has been like this for many years, I take it for granted, but at this moment, this kind of daily life makes me feel a little terrible. Panic.
"It's beautiful." While thinking about those things, I praised them against my heart.
"Haha, I think so too." The girl gave the bronze mirror to the vendor, and then deliberately turned her head. She wanted to put on the hood on her cloak, but her hand stopped halfway and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she did not fasten the hat. I guess she is afraid of breaking her hard-won hair.
"It doesn't matter. It's okay not to wear it." It should be safe here, after all, it's just an old city. Besides, nothing happened after pulling down the hood for so long. If it is covered too tightly, it will scare the little girl.
Since I bought the hairpin and put it on, I will continue to find her a place to live at night. But the vendor took my golden beans, but never gave me change, which made me a little impatient, so I directly said to him, "We won't buy anything else. We have to leave. Please find me the remaining half of the golden beans."
"Master apprentice." The vendor was respectful, and then said slowly, "The villain wants to find you. Presumably, the master also knows that these things sold are not easy to open, and there is no spare money in his hand. What's more, half a golden bean may not be a big deal for people in the new city, but it is a huge sum of money in the old city. The villain really can't find this little bit. However, apprentice, you can rest assured that even if you lend me courage, I dare not hack your money. In the evening, I will go to the blacksmith and ask him to help divide the golden bean into two. I think you may not leave the old city at this time today. You will come here early tomorrow morning, and I will guarantee to give the remaining half of the golden bean. What do you think?"
"This..." This made me very unhappy. The vendor didn't know to say it earlier without change. It was clear that he was careful. However, what he said is also true. Jindou is really not easy to find change. Even in the new city, you need to find a special place to divide it. Maybe there are not many places like this in the old city. Today, I really can't go back to the new city, unless I have the courage to climb over the barriers. But obviously, even in my dreams, I won't try such a dangerous thing. It's okay to pick up this half of the golden beans when you leave tomorrow.
"Well, I'll pick it up tomorrow morning. You must also know that apprentices know a lot of secret methods. Don't think that I can't find you if you don't come tomorrow morning. I threatened viciously to oppress the other party with my position and not to play tricks. Although the skills of tracking people are available in the school city, it is obviously not something that a low-level apprentice like me can touch.
"Master, I dare not borrow the courage of a villain. You are a noble apprentice, and I am the most despicable person." The vendor made promises again and again, and kept patting his chest when he spoke to show his openness.
I know that I can't say more on this issue. I say too much to make me feel guilty. However, since I have talked to him, I should ask him if there is a place to provide accommodation. Hurry up and find a place to rest. The girl was rescued in the desert. What is urgently needed is rest, not me taking her to hang out on this strange street.
"Oh, by the way, I'd like to ask you, where can I stay in the old city?" I didn't lower my voice when I spoke. One thing I have observed, and it is impossible for anyone around me to hear it at a normal volume. After all, the whole market came out in the humming sound of vendors shouting in a low voice. Second, the normal volume also seems to be more frank, so it is not easy for anything to happen. This is what I thought at that time.
"Master, you asked, there is an inn in the southeast corner of the old city, which specializes in dealing with some people who can't find accommodation in the old city. It's just that the room may be a little humble and not worthy of your noble status. The vendor complimented while introducing it.
Simple? The place where the apprentice lived can barely be called a residence. Judging from my experience of traveling around the world, the place where I lived in my youth was no different from the stables in the Central Plains. At that time, I thought that it was enough to sleep in a place as long as it could shelter from the wind and rain. If it could be cleaner, it would be a little extravagant. . Therefore, the merchant's humble description of the inn did not make me uneasy.
On the contrary, the word inn brought me a lot of reverie. I have heard of the inn, which was introduced to us by the teacher in the class of introducing the Central Plains, but there is no inn in the new city. After all, there is no floating population in the new city. Everyone will have their own fixed residence from birth. As his status gradually improves, his residence will also change. It is said that the place where the bachelor lives is much better than our apprentices. Of course, I've only heard of these and haven't seen them with my own eyes. So the thought that I might stay in an inn soon, which also made me a little excited, as if I was not in the old city separated by a wall, but thousands of miles away and on a long journey.
Now that I have understood what I want to know, I don't need to talk nonsense. I simply waved my hand, then took the girl's hand, identified the direction, and walked to the southeast of the old city. The relaxing time in the market reduced my vigilance a lot, so I grabbed the girl's hand again. I just thought that my fingers would never feel such slippery tomorrow.
The urban area of the old city is not small, and the ferryman took us from the northwest gate. Although the sand boat also traveled a distance inside, the proportion of the whole journey from northwest to southeast is too small. I don't know the specific street layout of the old city, but I think there should be no dead end in the old city, so I went down in the general direction. Because several places rely on judgment that the route is not the nearest route, which makes the already unclose road appear longer.
I hope this road will end soon, because I'm afraid that the girl will faint because of physical exhaustion. I'm also afraid that this journey will end soon, because when the journey is over, I will no longer have any reason to hold her hand.
For good, the girl's physical strength looks good, and even her face is getting more and more red, and her complexion is getting better and better, which makes me feel much more relieved. I can also let this road continue to be extended. During this period, I also played a little thought, that is, deliberately removing the power holding her hand, so that as long as she wanted, she could get rid of her hand immediately. After several experiments, I definitely found that the girl was actually holding my finger tightly, even my hand. Without strength, our hands are still tied together. This small discovery gives me an inexplicable happiness.
Is it because of trust? Or because you think this is a manifestation of goodwill? I don't know.
However, no matter how long the road is, there will be an end. It was already a starry moment on that day, and the inn arrived. The inn is not what I thought, especially because of the description of the vendors just now. I thought it would be a place that was not as good as my residence. When I looked at it, I found that the building was much more exquisite than the rest of the old city. This kind of research really gives me the illusion of being far away from my homeland.
This is my home, and the old city is also part of the school city. I tried to relieve my uneasiness with such comfort.
