Chapter 12 Night market, chance encounter with a fortune teller
The sun sets in the west and the moon rises. The lights in Linyuan City are brightly lit, unlike the hustle and bustle of the day, which is pure joy! It seems that the day's life has just begun...
‘Tu tuk’
Ju Xu was sleeping in the room, Zheng Xiang heard the sound of knocking on the door outside.
"Who is having a good dream and screamed." In anger, he patted his cheek hard and tried to wake him up.
I heard a diligent and flattering voice saying, "It's me, the guest! The guy who greeted you in the afternoon."
Ju Xu barely stood up and stretched his waist when he heard this. He opened the door and asked repeatedly, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
"Yeah! I dare not dare," the person in front of me waved his hands and panicked. "Customer, call me waiter, don't you think the word 'brother' is right."
Seeing this guy, Ju Xu patted his shoulder and laughed, "It's just a title, you're all cold sweats coming out."
The waiter took a few steps and bowed his body lowered a little, saying, "Oh! The store rules have to be followed. The food has been prepared downstairs. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, he gave a bow and stopped in front of the door and turned to it.
Looking at the waiter's back, Ju Xu touched her chin and was interested, "Yeah~ Interesting Inn", then went back to the house, washed her face and walked downstairs.
I was so dizzy at noon that I didn't pay attention to it. It turned out that the narrow and simple corridor was connected directly to the first and third floors, and I don't know what to do with the sheets in the middle.
Curiosity drives Xia Juxu to press his hand on the wall to try to disperse the air and find out that there is a formation engraved in the wall to prevent snooping~
"There are quite a lot of secrets, forget it! If you don't let it be, just don't watch it!"
"Luckily, my little brother said this."
"Who!" The sudden sound of this majestic male voice really shocked Ju Xu. He turned to see a man in brown clothes and red hair, about thirty years old, but he didn't feel it at all...
"It doesn't matter who I am - you just remember not to think about the second floor again, otherwise?~ I won't be so harmonious next time I meet you."
The man stood with his hands behind his back and his breath seemed to condense into substance, like a peak in front of him, calmness was the only feeling.
Ju Xu leaned forward halfway forward and said sincerely, "I saw the second floor isolation on a whim. I don't know the rules of the inn, but I hope you don't blame me."
...
...
...
After a while, Ju Xu looked up and saw that his eyes were empty and disappeared.
"Come without a trace, expert"
There were only a few people sitting in the lobby after walking out of the corridor, and the runners gathered together in groups of three or three to talk.
Looking around Zhou He saw that the familiar figure was drinking and moaning, Ju Xu smiled and strided to the table.
"Sir, we're meeting again"
The old man who was holding peanuts in his mouth turned to see it and said, "Oh! Isn't this a little brother at noon?"
After saying that, he shook his wrist and threw the peanuts into the air and then steadily caught them.
"It's my junior. I don't know if I mind sitting at the same table with you," Ju Xu asked with bowed.
The fortune teller opened his hand and signaled him to sit down, "Of course not, the client is my parents of food and clothing, please."
After sitting down, I looked at the simple food on the table that was not as good as my taste, so I asked the guy to bring the food from my table over.
"When I came, the store was full of customers, why did it feel pitiful when I was at night?" Ju Xu was puzzled when he looked at the scene in the store.
After the two of them drank to each other, the old man said, "I will know that you are a newbie who just left the mountain, okay! I'll be the guide."
Close your eyes and tidy up your thoughts and continued, "The most common people in the world are competitions, grudges, hatreds and killings. And these are the most common people. So slowly, a tacit rule was formed, that is, no martial arts fights are allowed in places with many people during the day, so that at night it becomes the home court of the world."
"Besides, ordinary people have to work during the day and not lively at night, so there is no one in the store when you watch the fun and go away."
One confusion resolves another confusion and arouses "Since it is a taboo, why does it work at night?"
The old man was quite impatient when he saw Ju Xu becoming a problem, but he still answered seriously, "The result of mutual concessions! Moreover, ordinary people are active for an hour at night, and even if there is a dispute, they will not spread widely and cause riots. At most, they will talk about it after dinner the next day, and public security is guaranteed, so it works~"
After saying that, I picked up a few more peanuts and started eating happily.
"So that's the case, I understand."
At this moment, Yuan Yuan and Ji Langchen, who were awakened, came to the lobby.
"Here" Ju Xu also greeted the two of them.
"Hey! Isn't this a fortune teller? I seem to have made a lot of money today. The food is quite rich."
"No, no, no, this is your supper, I'm just borrowing a bunch of money."
"Isn't that just a free meal?"
‘Cough! Cough—’ The old man choked and coughed and almost vomited out all his lunch…
Ju Xu: "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense. I just met a gentleman and I just played a table."
Yuan Yuan stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "Okay, okay, just kidding, who knows that the old official has such poor ability to withstand it?"
"Little girl~ It's because you're talking too heartbroken," the fortune teller muttered in a low voice...
"Senior brother, I've eaten so much at noon and still have a lot of money now. Why don't we go out for a walk!"
Ji Langchen couldn't really appreciate his appetite when he looked at the table full of rich dishes. He ate half a sheep alone at noon. Now it seemed like a flock of sheep was rushing in his stomach - it was uncomfortable.
"What I said is, after eating the greasy things, I slept all afternoon, and I felt so uncomfortable, Junior sister, what about you? Are you going out?"
"You all go out, of course I'm going there too."
Ju Xu and others reached a consensus and stood up and wanted to leave, but the fortune teller grabbed them.
"I am not familiar with the place, so why don't we go together? I can still be a tour guide for you."
The three of them looked at each other and had no objection, so Ju Xu responded.
As soon as I stepped out of the inn, I felt a thriving feeling that was completely different from the mountain gate.
Every shop hangs various lanterns for decoration, and the sound of drums and music comes one after another; fireworks from all directions are like waterfalls flowing from the ground to the sky, and the Kongming lanterns floating in the sky have become the second Milky Way; there are always handsome men and beautiful women coming and going in front of you! It is indescribable to be pleasing to the eye.
A boy who grew up in the mountain gate had never seen such a shocking scene. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Old official, what kind of festival is today so lively?"
The fortune teller touched his beard and smiled slightly, "I don't know anything, I am like this every day in Linyuan City! It's more than a hundred times more lively than this festival."
"It turns out that the world is so wonderful. I now know why all sects have to land on the mountain. Even the most worldly Confucian sects are only set in the suburbs and not into the city." Ju Xu was filled with emotion.
"Oh? Why?" Ji Langchen and Yuan Yuan asked in confusion at the same time.
"Haha, immersed in such a prosperous situation, who would have the intention to do those boring things!"
Ji Langchen immediately continued: "Senior brother is right. In just a moment, I completely forgot about life on the mountain. My calm mind was instantly broken, but it was prosperous but terrible."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and quickly recited a meditation method.
"This is also part of your experience." The fortune teller next to him looked down with his hands and pretended to be a peerless master.
"In this world, I don't know how many geniuses have been defeated in this prosperous world and become ordinary people. I hope that the three little friends can always stay out of it and be a spectator."
In addition to Ji Langchen who was still reciting silently, Yuan Yuan and Ju Xu both nodded, "We are welcome, accept the blessings of Mr.
At this time, Yuan Yuan seemed to notice something strange and asked: "Old official, Jerry, the desolate genius," he said halfway through his hands, "thump thump thump thump thump" and jumped in front of the fortune teller and continued: "You won't be there."
"No, why wouldn't it happen?" The old man who was still energetic just now suddenly hung his shoulders like a deflated ball and turned around without looking at everyone present. The figure clearly felt a little more lonely and regretful.
Ju Xu knocked Yuan Yuan in a 'bang' and scolded him in a low voice: "It depends on what you did."
Yuan Yuan also felt something was wrong, so she lowered her head and stopped talking after saying oh ~
"Sir?" Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ju Xu shouted tentatively.
"Hmm?,? Ah?" This shout woke up the lost person and quickly changed his smile to his face.
Seeing this, I knew that the matter was revealed, and Ju Xu also opened the topic at the right time, "Where is the way to go now? Mr. Tour Guide! You can't always stand at the door and be the door god~"
"Okay, this street leads directly to Linyuancheng Square to the east. Everyone will go there, and we will go too."
Fortune tellers were in front and followed Ju Xu and the others in the crowd, squeezing left and right and moving forward slowly...
"I thought there were enough people during the day, but I didn't expect it to be even worse at night." Ji Langchen frowned and felt a little unhappy. He was wide-body and fat, and he was always hit and suffered a lot of injuries.
Yuan Yuan laughed and laughed a few times when she heard this, saying, "So I've let you lose weight long ago."
"Am I so fat? There are obviously too many people?"
Oh! I was hit several times while talking~
"Sir, every city is not so lively, right?" Ju Xu also felt incredible along the way. In the remote small cities, it is like this. Wouldn't it be even more exaggerated if a bigger city?
"This is not the case. Linyuan City is like this because they are afraid of the wild beasts on the snow field. The walls are built higher and thicker and thicker until they cannot be changed. Later, when fighting with other countries in the north, many victims fled here, and the population of children has increased sharply throughout their lives, so the current scene has come."
Ju Xu: "But the government doesn't solve this problem? There is no place to stand."
"The government has tried to move residents in the city to surrounding suburbs before, but no one dared to go because of wild animals. It once aroused public anger and had to leave it alone."
I just walked out like this and found that there were various entertainment projects.
"Senior brother, senior brother! Look there, we are looking at the riddles, let's take a look." Yuan Yuan became active when she saw these things, pointing to a distance and said happily.
"Okay? OK? OK"
As soon as Ju Xu finished speaking, Ji Langchen was held hands by Yuan Yuan and ran over quickly...
