Quick wear spare tire

Fanjie, Yuxia Kingdom, Beisha City.

This morning, the city gate opened, and Lao Wang, who sells candied haws at the east gate, has already rolled up his sleeves and shivered in the cold wind. Most people think that there will be no customers at this time, especially Children's stalls like his do, always have to attract a large number of children salivating at ten o'clock at noon or near dusk.

Lao Wang is naturally an ordinary person—he usually sleeps until the end of the day and the beginning of the day, and then washes up slowly, wraps the hawthorn skewers prepared the day before in the syrup boiled by his wife, Put the root on the haystack and take it out to shout.

But the night before yesterday, he drank too much shochu, played a half-night drinking madness, and slept through the whole day yesterday, but was cleaned up by the woman with a broom and rolling pin at night, and was kicked out before dawn today come out.

Old Wang knew that he was right and did not dare to resist. Anyway, the weather is so cold, and the candied haws are more crispy if they are frozen outside. wind.

At this point, I'm looking forward to seeing if there are rich people who go into and out of the city overnight. No matter where they go, it's always a lot of hard work. Seeing him, he should buy some snacks for the children as a reward.

There was no one on the quiet street. The guards who opened the city gate rubbed their hands and bowed their bodies. After saying hello to Lao Wang twice, they all hid under the leeward wall. The little captain asked him to go there together to keep warm.

Naturally, this kind of invitation would not be rejected. Lao Wang carried his own haystack and ran over with his head shrunken and bent, trying to squeeze together with a group of guards in leather armor.

They are all hard-working people, and they have been together in this city for a long time, and there is no such thing as a disdain for each other.

"Brother Wang, in such a cold weather, why don't you lie down on the kang at home for a while, and come here to suffer instead?" The cold and lonely morning is really hard, and those who have kind words talk to Lao Wang, "You don't usually have it almost noon You just came out, it was warm and crowded at that time, but now there is not even a shadow of a ghost, could it be that you brought this group of people to reward our brothers?"

Several men laughed together, jokingly cupped their hands in thanks, and were about to get his dense candied haws.

"Oh, I can't do this," Lao Wang resisted them with a bitter face, "If you want to feed some of your brothers, the woman at home will have to tear me apart!"

No one really wanted to eat the sweet or cold candied haws. Seeing him gasping in anxiety, a few people let go of their noisy hands.

It was the same man just now who smiled and said, "So he was kicked out by my sister-in-law. What did I say, he was suffering here with us?"

Old Wang sighed: "didn't you drink a little more water and wine, didn't you go out to the stall yesterday, almost didn't make a noise at night and collapsed the beams, I couldn't stay at home this morning, thinking about it Why don't you come out and walk around, maybe you can make two more deals."

The fat captain wrinkled his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This seems to be a bad temper..."

Everyone laughed and couldn't help joking. Lao Wang wasn't angry about this, and happily broke up with them, just to pass the time.

A few people were telling jokes there, suddenly a lean young guard turned his head and said: "Hey, listen, it seems that someone is coming."

"That's so strange," the captain slapped him on the back of the head, "Isn't the city gate open for people to leave? At this point... it's about going to the city to visit relatives or seek medical advice. right?"

The experienced guards agreed one after another. Generally, those who entered the city so early in the morning were poor farmers from the surrounding towns, or relatives who came to visit in an attempt to bring back some practical benefits, or got something that the country doctor would not like. I was sick, so I pushed a cart into the city overnight, tightened my belt and asked a serious doctor to help me.

These two days are approaching the New Year's Eve, and both kinds of people suddenly increased.

Having nothing to do early in the morning, several people stretched their necks and looked out the door, wanting to see who could guess the best.

But they were doomed to be disappointed. A carriage with two horses slowly appeared in the dark morning mist. But the heavy black wheels and front rafters can easily see the high value of its wood.

This is obviously not a car that ordinary wealthy people can afford.

The most surprising thing is that such a carriage does not seem to have hired a driver, and there are only two horses walking unhurriedly in front of the carriage, and the eight hooves stepping on the ground make regular "cracking" sounds, which are very crisp. .

The carriage passed through the city gate, and then slowly stopped in front of the crowd of people huddled together.

A group of people just watched blankly, and no one dared to speak. The aura on this carriage was too strong, and it was easy for the people at the bottom with keen senses to realize that this was not something they could provoke.

The front of the carriage was covered with a thick dark green door curtain. The curtain moved slightly, and then it was lifted from the side by a hand as white as jade.

They couldn't help their eyes following that hand—the captain of the guard could swear that even if he happened to see the girl who was praised as the top card of Yuexiang Building by chance, she didn't have such a beautiful hand.

That's right, it's beautiful, but they don't know what language to use to describe it: just looking at it from a distance, you can see that the hand bones are well-proportioned and slender, and the moist and delicate skin perfectly covers the hand bones , It looks as beautiful as a blooming epiphyllum under the moonlight.

Then a slender young man got out of the car. He was covered with thick expensive fur. His appearance was covered by the fluffy snow-white down. Only the hair as black as ink could be seen pouring down from behind, as if in the snow. A piece of ebony.

Several people couldn't help shrinking closer, for fear of accidentally blocking the nobleman's eyes.

As soon as the young man took two steps towards them, the curtain of the car was suddenly raised again, and a fiery little ball jumped down from above, ran back and grabbed the young man's sleeve.

It was obviously a child, wearing a red cloak of the same material, the whole small body was wrapped in warm leather, as round as a real fire.

The young man smiled helplessly, stretched out a finger and tapped on the child's forehead, then took his raised little hand and continued walking towards this side.

The fat captain was guessing their identities - looking at their demeanor, I'm afraid they are the children of some noble family, but I don't know if the two are brothers or father and son. They seem to be close to each other, but their temperament seems to be strong. There is a difference - while hurriedly arching his hands to greet him: "You two nobles, welcome to Beisha City, if you have a title, you don't have to pay the entrance fee..."

He said these few polite words with the intention of currying favor, but seeing the young man in the lead was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

It was the child who spoke, and his words and deeds were quite skillful: "Uncle, we are not nobles. May I ask how much the entry fee is, we just pay it now."

no……?

How could it be possible... Maybe I just didn't want to reveal my identity, and that's right, when did those noble masters care about the money for entering the city again?

"It's... ten coins per adult, and three coins for children."

The child grinned at him, reached into his bosom and groped a few times, took out thirteen copper coins no more and no less, and tiptoed into his palm.

The copper coins were new and new, with warm body temperature on them. The fat captain held them in his hand, and felt a little hot in the cold wind.

He couldn't help but enviously glanced at the clothes on the child's body. After thinking about it, he knew how warm the airtight defense would be, not to mention that there must be high beds and warm pillows in the lower-key carriage behind, all kinds of luxury goods Take whatever you want.

Life... so fucking unfair!

The two of them didn't come down specifically to pay the entrance fee, the young man smiled and patted the child on the back of the head, motioning him to do it himself.

The child didn't hold back, and walked around the captain and ran to the bottom of the wall, and raised an innocent smile to Old Wang: "Uncle, how much is the candied haws?"

"How much..." Lao Wang was taken aback by him, but seeing that there was a business, he quickly let go of his timidity and put down the haystack that had been protecting him from his shoulders.

He was about to say five pennies as usual, but when he saw the child's expensive clothes, he suddenly had a different idea.

"Five...ten Wen." He swallowed his saliva, forced himself to report calmly, and graciously took a bunch from the haystack and handed it to the child, "Young master, you need to eat these candy strings quickly, Easy to melt in a warm place..."

The child's eyes turned cold suddenly, it was obviously the same immature and cute little face just now, but in an instant, it was like a basin of ice water, which made Old Wang tremble all over.

How is this... really evil.

"Xiao Yun," just at this moment, the young man who had not moved all this time suddenly spoke out. His voice was as pure and pleasant as the icicles that formed on the eaves during the day, but it also seemed to carry the warm winter sun that melted the ice. , "Have you bought it yet?"

"Okay!" The cold feeling just now was swept away, and the child responded crisply, and happily took out fifty copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into Lao Wang's hands, then sprinkled candied haws Huan'er skipped and ran back, Lao Wang hurriedly put away those warm coins, his heart pounding.

He didn't think that the chill at that moment just now was brought to him by such an older child, but after all the business was done with a little heart, just being a guilty conscience was enough to make him worry.

The two figures in the same painting did not stay at the gate of the city for a moment longer, and soon got into the carriage, and the carriage was automatically pulled by the two horses as before, and it was still walking towards the bustling city at a leisurely pace. walk around the block.

Knowing that Che Ying'er was gone, the atmosphere among everyone became hot again.

"Brother got rich," a guard smiled naively at Old Wang, "You are really brave, if you want to change me, don't mention raising the price in front of those nobles, I'm afraid you won't just give away the whole stack It’s good to go up.”

Lao Wang was a little complacent, he was very satisfied with his behavior just now: "This is a businessman, let alone them, even if the young master of the Mu family in Nancheng came to me to buy candied haws, he wouldn't even want to take one without spending a penny. .”

"Just brag," everyone laughed, "What kind of family is the Mu family? It's well-known in Yuxia's entire country."

"That's not right, I heard that many high-ranking officials and nobles from Beijing have to respect Mr. Mu... They say that there were immortals in their family!"

Several low-pitched exclamations sounded: "Really? Are those legendary fairy gates really existing?"

The guards surrounded in the middle became proud, wishing to shake off all they knew immediately: "That's right, there is a master in Xiao Cui'er's village who is on duty in the capital, and that's the one—you know Gongzhenyuan, right? Listen It is said that it is the place where the royal family selects talents for the immortals, and every five years, the immortals will go to assess the apprentices in person, and those who are lucky enough to be favored will be brought back to the door, and all of them will become immortals!"

"Wow—" Everyone clicked their tongues in half envy and half admiration, and they all showed great longing for the legendary existence.

Another guard whispered: "Isn't the Mu family entertaining people with great fanfare these days, saying that the gods are here in person... Last time I saw the eldest son go out with a little girl in white clothes. The expression on his face, tsk, looks like a pug dog!"

So they laughed again, no matter whether the rumors they heard were true or not, but the anecdotes about the unreachable high-class people were always the things that the people at the bottom liked to talk about most.They will find that those high-ranking big shots are actually as servile as they are.

It would give them a strange sense of satisfaction, just enough to cheer them up in such cold weather.

"That's right," the fat captain closed his eyes and smacked the joke just now, then reopened the topic, "I've seen those people who were honored by the Mu family from afar. The handsome men and the beautiful women are all about the same age as a flower in their twenties, but their demeanor is not at all like that big boy."

"Hey," the thin man retorted, "what's the matter, do you see any of the young masters of the Mu family who look like they should be at their age? Just like the ones on our street."

"It's still different," the captain laughed, "Mr. Mu's young master is here too. Standing with those people, he looks like a boy serving tea and water. What is the Mu family in our Yuxia country?" Status, I am afraid that the upbringing of the princes and princesses is not necessarily higher than their young masters, right?"

"That's right," another guard agreed, "I've seen them too. They wear white robes like thin gauze in this cold weather. Everyone's clothes are the same."

"Could it be the legendary seamless celestial clothing?!"

"Hey, so it is true that immortals are immune to cold and heat!"

At this time, the fat captain also remembered another piece of news that could prove the identity of those people. He widened his eyes and said the words in a mysterious tone: "—Hiss, speaking of this, I remember that it seemed like I also heard the master of the Mu family call a young girl 'Grandma Grandma'!"

Several people looked at each other and found that everyone had the same incredible guess as themselves.

It seems... It's really a fairy.

"How do you think those men are so lucky..."

There was another round of tsk-tsk exclamations of implicit jealousy, and the little people were also enjoying themselves in their own circles. Those things about longevity or wealth were too far away from them, but they would not be in their hearts. Leaves too many marks.

The little people also have the happiness of the little people. After finishing this shift, they return to the warm home to live their little days with their wives and children. Although ordinary, they are full of warmth that the superiors lack.

Talking and laughing sounded quite far in the empty street—of course, it was not at a volume that ordinary people could hear—but from the elderly passengers in the carriage just now, even their slightly excited gasps could be heard. Be clear.

The two mysterious outsiders sitting in the low-key and luxurious carriage were naturally the two brothers Shen You who were going to find relatives for Mu Yun.

They finally reached a consensus that day to come and see. Shen You took his junior brother and drove the flying sword from Cangran Sword to Beisha City thousands of miles away in an instant. Arousing attention, he still changed outside the city into the thick clothes that ordinary people should wear in this season, and then took out a carriage-shaped fairy artifact from the Qiankun bag, asked two snowy horses to pull it, and entered the city leisurely.

As for Mu Yun, he hadn't even started to formally practice, so Shen You specially picked out a big cloak of red flame fox fur to wrap it around him, in the euphemistic name of saying that he would vent his anger on the experience of surviving a near-death.

For this childish behavior, Mu Yun didn't feel angry at all, but seeing his brother's expectant face, he still pretended to be flattered and put the cloak on his body.

——Actually, he really cherishes this dress, but it's not because he exploited the Chi Yanhu who almost killed him, but because it is the first gift officially given to him by his senior brother.

He has to keep it well.

The temperature in the car was very serious, the two of them took off their cloaks a long time ago, Shen You leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest his mind, eavesdropping on a group of city gate guards chatting with peddlers, Mu Yun While chewing on his candied haws on the side, a pair of dark eyes always quietly turned towards his senior brother.

Later, he simply stopped hiding it, and just stared at other people's faces openly, without taking his eyes off it.

Oh, my brother looks so good-looking.

Shen You withdrew his consciousness from the side of the city gate and opened his eyes, just in time to see the little junior brother biting a hawthorn and staring at him in a daze, he even forgot to chew what was in his mouth.

"What are you thinking about!" He stretched out his hand and tapped Mu Yun's forehead, and said with a smile, "Could it be because of the feeling of being close to home?"

Mu Yun snorted, and looked away as if nothing had happened: "They are not my relatives."

Shen You sighed, in front of the family members who didn't see his junior brother, he had no right to comment on the emotion and relationship between them.

However, from what the few people chatted just now, the Mu family seems to have some prestige in the mortal world, so how could the junior brother be regarded as the son of the mansion, how could he be reduced to that kind of land?

Also... It seems that all the sects came to accept disciples in the mortal world just in time. I just don't know which side of the fellow Taoist is in this Beisha city.

And it seems that there are some relatives with the Mu family... This is a bit difficult. If things are really as he thinks, I'm afraid he can't do anything excessive to the Mu family right away. After all, he still has to worry about fellow Taoists. He is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of making enemies for no reason for the little junior who still has nothing.

But——judging from the meaning of the younger brother, it shouldn't be necessary to drive out all the relatives, right?It doesn't matter if it's just a small lesson, because his Shen You's face is here, I'm afraid no one on the road wants to bother with him about such trivial matters.

——Maybe he will help him and be courteous.

After all, the Shen family is the number one family, the Cangran Sword Sect is the number one immortal sect, his master Qing Jian Zhenren is the number one master, and even himself is the number one genius of the younger generation. Well, the person on this continent who would specifically oppose him may not have been born yet.

Moreover, those who will be sent out by the sect should be the last generation of children around the foundation establishment period, and the length of cultivation time will not exceed 200 years, so the possibility of defeating him is even less.

"Senior brother..." Mu Yun shouted again, and flung himself into his senior brother's arms recklessly, "Shall we go to Mu's house now? I, I really don't want to see them."

Shen You looked at his furrowed brows, and hugged him tightly and patted his back dumbfoundingly: "Then don't go, it's impolite to ask for an appointment so early, let's find an inn to stay in first, and after everything is ready Come visit again."

Mu Yun curled his lips disapprovingly where he couldn't see, buried his head in his brother's arms, took a deep breath and remained still.

He really likes the scent of cold plums on his senior brother.But having said that, as long as it is on the senior brother, there is nothing he doesn't like.

The two settled down in the inn smoothly, and Shen You gave Mu Yun a simple introduction to the law for him to read—recently he has been using this thing to teach his students how to read—then they went out alone, planning to stay in this city. go around.

He easily asked the innkeeper about the most prosperous place and the location of the Mu Mansion, so he wrapped himself in fox fur and walked there.
