The Vixen is Attacked - Chapter 44
Before the day was bright, Hua Diewu immediately retracted her tail, and then jumped into the water.
The sound of the splashing water made Su Luoyan woke up. She picked up a handful of water and washed her face, and then took out the dry food from the bag. If they don’t leave Zezhidian today, they will run out of food, so Su Luoyan eats very quickly. After she finished eating, she started to feed Hua Diewu, and Hua Diewu sensibly ate a bit to show that she was full.
In fact, she is still far from being full, but it’s okay if she doesn’t eat, so it’s not a big deal.
Finally, the two left Zezhidian before dark, and then entered Yongan City. Fortunately, Yong’an City is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many rivers and ditches everywhere, which greatly facilitates the special shark of Huadiewu.
After the sky was completely dark, Hua Diewu found a hidden place and boarded the boat. Su Luoyan turned over his bag and found that there was nothing left to eat, so she took Huadiewu to the shore.
Before going ashore, the two of them disguised a little bit and painted the inferior rouge that Su Luoyan bought in a small town. The faces of both were flushed and they looked very simple. Su Luoyan also took out two large flower towels. Zi wrapped Hua Diewu’s jet-black hair.
After doing this for Hua Diewu, Su Luoyan also ‘dressed’ herself like this. Hua Diewu watched Su Luoyan change from a cold-tempered girl to a rustic awkward peasant woman. At first, she was holding back a smile, but the more she looked at it, the more she wanted to laugh, she didn’t stop at last.
“Hahahaha! Luoyan, you are so different in peacetime!” Hua Diewu swayed her small belly, and burst into tears.
Su Luoyan laughed and shook her head. She lightly nodded Hua Diewu’s forehead with her finger, and said, “Don’t laugh so happy, Xiaodie, you are exactly like me now.”
“Huh?” Hua Diewu was taken aback for a moment.
Su Luoyan said, “Look at yourself in the water.”
Hearing that Hua Diewu looked towards the surface of the water and saw herself reflected in the water by the moonlight. The person in the water looked like an ordinary little peasant woman, and even looked a bit silly.
“Ah! It’s amazing.” Hua Diewu touched her face and her hair again, and finally turned her head to look at Su Luoyan, sighing: “Luoyan, you are too amazing, I have changed. Looks like.”
Su Luoyan smiled and shook his head, then picked up the pole to peg the boat, and then tied the boat to the pile at the river port.
Hua Diewu followed Su Luoyan ashore. Before, it was concealed and it was noticeable. Now she shows her face openly and she loses some curious eyes.
Hua Diewu didn’t care that she was not beautiful right now, she would be very happy as long as she stayed next to Su Luoyan.
Su Luoyan said that she was going to inquire about the news. She chose a simple tea shop and sat down, and then ordered some snacks.
Xiao Er greeted enthusiastically, and soon served a dish of pickled radish in soy sauce, a dish of fried peanuts, a dish of cold lotus root slices, and a pot of tea. The total amount of these was only a dozen cents. Hua Die Wu I think Su Luoyan is very suitable to be a daughter-in-law, and he will be a good housekeeper in the future.
And the system gnawed the pumpkin silently, this time it was really gnawing because the pumpkin is very hard. And why does the system eat pumpkins? Because it feels that its host is out of help, it wants to gnaw on the pumpkin to calm itself down.
It was the first time that Hua Diewu had eaten peanuts. She ate with relish, completely forgetting the purpose of the two of them coming to this tea shop.
Su Luoyan poured herself a cup of tea, her eyes were falling at the door of the tea shop, her ears were quietly listening to the people around her.
Such a seemingly simple tea shop is actually more capable of inquiring about the news than those teahouses, there are no compartments and there is a mixed bag.
Hua Diewu ate and finally remembered that they were here to inquire about the news. She drank a sip of tea, and when she was about to ask Su Luoyan how to inquire about the news, she heard Su Luoyan say that she was leaving.
“Huh? Why are you leaving?”
“I have heard what I want to hear, so I can go. Small dish, what do I want to eat tonight.”
Hua Diewu thought for a while, then shook her head. She didn’t know what to eat at night.
“I just heard someone say that a noodle shop nearby is good, why don’t we try it?”
“Okay.” When Hua Diewu left the tea shop, she hadn’t forgotten to eat the few peanuts she hadn’t finished.
Yong’an City is much larger than Qingfu City.
At this time, a lavishly decorated carriage came rolling in. The front and back were full of mysterious guards riding tall horses, and the people in front shouted and let go.
There was a young child with no adult around him, and he couldn’t avoid it when he was short-handed. Hua Diewu subconsciously wanted to hold the child and avoid the carriage, but Su Luoyan took the child first.
The child was out of danger without realizing what had happened. Su Luoyan touched the child’s head and said to be careful next time.
Hua Diewu turned her head and glanced at the carriage. The drape of the carriage was embroidered with the logo of Prince Zong’s Mansion. It was Xuanyuanlie who wanted to sit on the carriage. When the things inside turned into reality, some things were not as good as imagined.
Inside, Xuanyuanlie was unmatched in power tactics, and he held great power at a young age and became the prince of Yan Guo’s uncompromising clan.
However, the upper person will never care about the people below, and his life may be worse than a dog. Hua Diewu shook her head and sighed, and then the two of them entered the alley together.
The two turned around in the alley and they found the noodle restaurant. In fact, it is not difficult to find, you can find it quickly by following the fragrance.
The noodle stalls are full of business, and most of them are ordinary people who have just started work. I heard that the couple who sells bashful noodles are from the northwest. They are enthusiastic, and the bashful noodles they sell are cheap and delicious, so they are very popular.
After the two of them sat down, they ordered two bowls of noodles. Inside the bowls were yellow eggs, shiny fungus, and green garlic sprouts. Hua Diewu turned over the thinly sliced noodles with chopsticks and saw day lily and small pieces of tofu.
The noodles are very fragrant and taste more fragrant. There is obviously no minced meat in it, but it can taste meaty. I heard that the noodle soup is boiled with meat bones. The meat bones are cheap, and the broth is delicious and rich.
Soon Hua Diewu hulled a bowl of noodles. One bowl could not fill Hua Diewu’s stomach at all. She licked her lips and asked Su Luoyan if she could eat another bowl of noodles.
Naturally, Su Luoyan would not be hungry with Hua Diewu, she ordered another bowl of bashful noodles.
A bowl of noodles is only three cents, the biggest drawback is that there is no meat. However, it is precisely because there is no meat that it can be sold so cheaply. If there is meat, these flat-headed people would be reluctant to eat it.
After eating, Hua Diewu’s movements slowed down, because she remembered what had just happened. This Yong’an City seems to be prosperous, but there is too much sorrow hidden under this prosperity.
It is said that the wealth of Yong’an City is second only to the capital of Yan State, but the people here are eating three cents of shameless noodles, and the thread used to sew clothes by the princes, grandchildren and nobles may be able to spend a year for an ordinary household.
It does everything possible to describe the extravagant life of the prince’s mansion. It seems that the creator himself is longing for such a life. But Hua Diewu couldn’t agree with the author’s thoughts, lost so much, and finally married into the Prince’s Palace humblely and became a princess. Is this really happy?
Hua Diewu looked at Su Luoyan subconsciously, and Su Luoyan looked at the busy face-seller couple with a bit of yearning in his eyes. Hua Diewu forgot to eat noodles, she quietly observed Su Luoyan’s expression.
“Luo Yan, are you envious?” Hua Diewu asked.
Su Luoyan heard Hua Diewu’s voice, she retracted her eyes, and said with a smile: “Well, in the future, I also want to open a small stall and live this plain and busy life.”
“Luoyan, I’ll accompany you.” Hua Diewu smiled at Su Luoyan.
But Su Luoyan just smiled and shook his head, without saying good or bad. Su Luoyan sighed like this because of her appearance.
Most of the things that beauty brings to women are troubles, and Su Luoyan doesn’t know how much trouble he has encountered because of his appearance. If you can choose, Su Luoyan would rather be an ordinary-looking woman. In fact, Su Luoyan had also thought about ruining his face, but in his father’s eyes, if her appearance was ruined, even if it was ruined in the next half of her life, he would be dead and uneasy.
Su Luoyan does not yearn for those glorious and wealthy, she is a very contented person. She can take good care of her father, and she will be satisfied with the family’s food and clothing, even if it works hard.
Seeing that Su Luoyan did not respond, Hua Diewu lowered her head to eat noodles in silence.
[Host, have you thought of what you are leaving? 】
{Well, the person who stayed with Luo Yan was not me. There is still a little more than two months. It always feels too short, maybe it will pass in the blink of an eye. }
The system did not speak, because it was afraid that it would accidentally leak the mouth when it spoke.
The two spent time on the street for a while, and then returned to the boat.
There was no dream in the night, and the morning light was faint, Hua Diewu jumped into the river before the daylight was completely bright.
Then one person and one fish set off to Chenxiang Temple. There are many waterways in Yongan City. The Luoji Mountain where Chenxiang Temple is located is the source of Pingchuan River. There are many small rivers and streams on the mountain, and many small tributaries flow directly into the canal.
Although Chenxiang Temple is in Yong’an City, it is remote and confined in the mountains. There is no sign along the way. If you want to find Chenxiang Temple, it really depends on luck, which is what everyone calls fate.
Su Luoyan has an amazing memory and is good at inquiring news. She probably guessed the location of Chenxiang Temple from the fragmentary information.
Everyone thinks that the legendary mysterious and solemn Chenxiang Temple should be on the top of the cloud-filled mountain, but most people who have been to the top of the mountain always return without success.
It is said that there are large agarwood trees growing around the Chenxiang Temple, but agarwood does not grow at too high a place, so the Chenxiang Temple should be in the mountains or mountainsides, not on the top. The terrain in the Luoji Mountain is complicated, and it is easy to get lost. Most people who find Chenxiang Temple are just hits and bumps. Therefore, not many people know the exact location of Chenxiang Temple.
Su Luoyan rowed to the foot of the Luoji Mountain. Although there were many rivers and streams on the mountain, it was not suitable for boating. Su Luoyan abandoned the boat, put the burden on him, and tied the boat.
There was a thatched hut at the pier of Chuan Boat, and there lived an old man who was more than old. Su Luoyan gave some money and asked the other party to help him watch the boat.
Su Luoyan also specially prepared a fish basket. When she put the fish basket in the water, Hua Diewu swam in very well.
Because fish baskets couldn’t hold water, Su Luoyan was afraid that the Huadie Dance would be uncomfortable, so the wind under his feet entered Luoji Mountain.
After entering the mountain, Su Luoyan put Hua Diewu into the stream, and Hua Diewu breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the water, and then plunged into the water and swam happily.
“Xiaodie, we are almost at Chenxiang Temple.” Su Luoyan squatted by the stream and looked at Hua Diewu.
Hua Diewu patted the surface of the water with her tail and splashed at the beginning, expressing her happiness.
Su Luoyan smiled, she stretched her hand into the stream, and Hua Diewu immediately posted it.
‘Luoyan, I know where Chenxiang Temple is, and I will be able to find Chenxiang Temple soon. ’
“Okay, I’ll follow you.” After saying that, Su Luoyan touched Hua Diewu’s head, and then stood up.
In my mind, the system had marked the nearest waterway to Chenxiang Temple for Hua Diewu, and Su Luoyan followed Hua Diewu along the stream.
The waterway is very easy for Huadiwu, but Su Luoyan can only walk on the mountain road. When it comes to mountain roads, many places are not roads at all. Hua Diewu was afraid that Su Luoyan would be too tired, so she slowed down.
