Sea Mountain Bright Moon

Liu Mengli took Han Lingsha and Zhao Ling'er away from the crowd, picked an alley and walked around, and after a while, there was a two-story building on the corner of the street. Seeing Liu Mengli, the shop owner rushed to welcome her.

"Hey! It's Mrs. Liu, a rare visitor!"

"The shop owner is obliged, please find us a quiet seat."

"Okay, okay! No problem, Mrs. Liu please."

The shopkeeper led the three of them up to the second floor, and found a seat by the window. Liu Mengli ordered a few meat and vegetable dishes and said, "By the way, shopkeeper, I have one more thing to ask you."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's a certain honor for Mrs. Liu to visit the small shop. If you have something to do, please tell me, don't say troublesome words to upset the villain!"

"You're too polite," Liu Mengli smiled, and said, "It's like this, shopkeeper, there is a busker girl from other places in front of the clothing store on the main street outside, please send someone to invite her over, just say it's me Just ask her."

"Okay, it's a trivial matter, Mrs. Liu, please wait for a while, and I will send someone to invite that girl here."

The shopkeeper went downstairs with a full promise, Liu Mengli just turned around, and saw Han Lingsha angrily poking around on the table with her chopsticks, and said, "Lingsha, what's the matter with you?"

"Mengli," Han Lingsha puffed up her cheeks, and said, "Aren't you a stranger to that girl?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you invite her to dinner?"

Liu Mengli said: "Although I met that girl for the first time, but seeing her so close to each other, I couldn't help but want to chat with her a little bit more. There were too many people and it was difficult to talk to. She must have finished her work now. So I thought about inviting her over for a party."

"Mengli!" Han Lingsha frowned this time, and said, "Since you don't know her, the so-called guarding against others is indispensable, and as the saying goes, you know the face but not the heart. Who knows what she is?" Such a person, the people who wander in the rivers and lakes are so cunning and philistine, you must be carefully deceived."

"Lingsha, I just want to say a few words to her, how can I deceive you?" Liu Mengli shook her head slightly, and said: "And I think that girl's words and deeds are not of bad conduct, you don't need to worry about it. "

Zhao Linger also said: "Yes, Sister Han, I look at that sister's eyes, she doesn't look like a bad person."

Han Lingsha secretly thought in her heart that one of you is a lady from a big family who doesn’t leave the door, and the other is a white-eyed little girl who grew up on an island isolated from the world, how many people have you met, and what is good and broken?

She didn't want to make Liu Mengli unhappy by saying it outright, so she still poked the table with her chopsticks, but a slender hand snatched the chopsticks away.

"Lingsha, this is not good, don't do it," Liu Mengli said softly, while putting the chopsticks back.

You have a lot to do.

Han Lingsha pouted, lay down on the table, and suddenly said: "Then, Mengli, what about that girl who is closing her eyes and looking at me?"

"Looking at you?" Liu Mengli looked at Han Lingsha strangely, as if she couldn't understand why she would ask such a question.

"That's right, when you first looked at me, what did you think of me?" Han Lingsha pointed to the tip of her nose.

Liu Mengli touched her temples subconsciously, and said leisurely: "...Maybe it's pleasing to the eye."

Pleasing to the eye?What kind of discrimination is this? !

Anyway, I, Han Lingsha, and you, Liu Mengli, can be regarded as good friends who went through life and death together, but you...you actually dismissed me with just one pleasing word!I'm no better than a little girl I've only seen once!

"I'll tell you what to say," Zhao Ling'er said positively, "The first time I saw Sister Han, I thought that Sister Han was very powerful and agile!"

So clever!You are the best!

"The one that avoided my thunder curse was much stronger than the monkeys on Fairy Island!"

Take back the foreword!You two are sincerely trying to annoy me!

Han Lingsha gritted her teeth, and was about to explode, but she heard footsteps on the stairs, and after a while, she saw the shopkeeper leading the girl who was performing on the street to come up.

"Miss, you have invited the guest you are looking for." The shopkeeper walked up to Liu Mengli and said respectfully.

"It's your job."

"Where, the eldest lady is being polite, so the certain family will leave first, so as not to disturb the eldest lady's elegance. If there is any need, just follow orders."

The shopkeeper went downstairs after telling me, only the girl was left standing there, she was no longer as cheerful as before, but had a bit of a childlike attitude, and said to Liu Mengli: "That, that, Liu Mengli Ma'am, I'm sorry, it's my first time in Shouyang City, I don't know if it's you, but I offended you just now, please forgive me."

"Miss, please don't be so polite. It's Mengli who took the liberty to invite you. Please don't take offense if you are rude." Liu Mengli looked at the girl and said with a smile, "I feel destined for her the first time I see her. If you don't mind, sit down and have a drink. How about a cup?"

Han Lingsha made a serious face and said, "...Mengli, aren't you a vegetarian?"

"Although I am a vegetarian, I often have a drink," Liu Mengli said softly, and looked at the girl again, "I don't know girl..."

"Drinking? Okay!" The girl's eyes lit up when she heard that there was wine to drink, and she said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."

After finishing speaking, he really sat down, and said to Liu Mengli: "By the way, I just wanted to thank you for making me a lot of money. I have to worry about how to live these few days."

"It depends on everyone's generosity, how dare Mengli take the credit alone."

"No, when I first came here, the boss told me that you are really like a living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the people here." The girl shook her head and said, "If you hadn't taken the lead, everyone wouldn't have given me so much money." reward."

"Mengli is just an ordinary person, how can she deserve such a reputation," Liu Mengli said indifferently, "Since the girl already knows Mengli's name, but she doesn't know her surname, where is she from?"

"You are too polite. My name is Xia. I am originally from Longxi." The girl smiled and looked at Zhao Linger and Han Lingsha, "Who are these two?"

"They are all my good friends," Liu Mengli pointed to Zhao Linger and Han Lingsha one by one for Xia.

"Miss Zhao," Xia first nodded to Zhao Linger, but when she turned to Han Lingsha, she clasped her fists together: "Miss Han."

"Xia...Miss Xia." Han Lingsha knew that Xia had seen that she was also a member of the Jianghu, so she returned the gift according to the rules of the Jianghu.

"Sister Xia," Zhao Ling'er said with a smile, "I just saw that sister Xia is very good at your swordsmanship. Although I have learned double swords since I was a child, I can't compare to you. I can't learn well. You were scolded by grandma, what secret do you have, can you teach Linger?"

"Miss Zhao also wields double swords?" Xia looked at Zhao Ling'er and said happily, "I see that Miss Zhao has a small body, but there is a lot of aura in her eyebrows and eyes. I thought you have the ability to practice immortality, and you are not a martial arts practitioner."

"I have been taught spells by my master and grandma since I was a child, but my grandma said that just learning spells is helpless to protect myself, so she also let me learn swords, swords and fists." Zhao Linger stuck out her tongue and said, "But I think it's too It's difficult, grandma taught me so much, only the double swords I barely learned because they felt light, but compared with you, sister Xia, they are really insignificant."

"It's just a trivial skill of mine," Xia said with a smile, "Gongsun Da Niang is the god of swordsmanship, and I can only scratch the surface."

Liu Mengli said with a smile: "If Miss Xia also claims to be an insignificant skill, the vast majority of swordsmen in the world should abandon their swords and be peerless."

"No way! Mrs. Liu, don't you want to praise me like this!" Xia hurriedly said: "And everyone has strengths, like me, but the body is flexible, but the brain is not bright. When Zhao Shiniang was studying arts in the past Shi Niang also said that she would teach me spells, but unfortunately I can't learn it anyway, Miss Zhao is much better than me at this point!"

Han Lingsha saw that her words and actions were all natural and unaffected, but she still felt panicked for some reason, so she tried her best to calm down and said, "But...Miss Xia, since we have all three of us mentioned our names before, why not?" Do you know Miss Xia's last name?"

"My first name is Xia, I don't have a surname." Xia smiled.

Liar, no one has a last name!

Han Lingsha was about to speak, but felt that her calf was kicked in the face for no reason, she closed her mouth, and glared at Liu Mengli who was sitting directly opposite.

"Meiyu Wuxia, that's a really good name," Liu Mengli said with a smile, "I don't know who else is in Miss Xia's family? Why did you come to Shouyang?"

...Why do you ask so clearly?You never even asked me!What kind of discrimination is this!

Lingsha only felt a suffocation in her chest, so she raised her chin and looked out the window, pretending to see the scenery.

Why is it so slow to serve food in this store.

Han Lingsha felt that her bad temper must be due to her hunger. Speaking of which, she and Liu Mengli hadn't had a good meal in the past few days, so she must eat enough this time, anyway, Liu Da The lady spends a lot of money, so don't worry that it will overwhelm her.

Although she didn't look at it, her ears couldn't help but stop listening.

I only heard Xia reply: "There is no one in my family, so I just go around performing arts to make a living, going wherever I want."

"I see," Liu Mengli replied, but there was an inexplicable sense of regret in her voice.

Is she sympathizing with Xia... She is not the same, why doesn't she come to sympathize with herself.

The more Han Lingsha thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt in her heart. She turned her head and looked at Liu Mengli angrily, but she saw her eyes were clear and focused on Xia, those eyes as clear as the night sky of the galaxy made her calm down instantly. down.

That's right... Although Liu Mengli has always done things in an orderly manner despite the time and period of acquaintance with her, she would never ask a girl she met for the first time so many things for no reason, so what is her purpose?

I too...how could I be so delicious?

"That flawed girl..."

Liu Mengli was about to say something, but she saw the cups and cups being brought up in the waiter in the shop, and after the set was set in front of the four people, the hot dishes were also served.

There were four ingredients in front of me before, and Han Lingsha recognized water celery, okra, scallions and the relatively rare spinach, but the dishes were cooked in a simple and elegant way, and there was no smell, so she didn't dare to say anything more. Let Liu Mengli laugh.

"This Hebei vinegared celery is the signature dish of this restaurant. Lingsha, how does it taste?" Liu Mengli first picked up a chopstick of vinegared celery and put it in the Han Lingsha bowl.

...We agreed to eat meat!The result is not still a vegetarian!

After Liu Mengli served Ling'er again, she said to Xia: "Since Miss Xia is alone, have you ever thought about finding a place to settle down?"

"I've thought about it," Xia said with a smile, "but I don't know any other skills other than swordsmanship, so I can only wander around as a performer."

"Since that's the case, then...Mengli has an unfeeling request here, would Miss Xia be willing to listen?"

Xia hurriedly said: "It's okay, Miss Liu doesn't need to be so polite, just speak up if you have anything to say."

"It's like this. Recently, there have been burglars in Shouyang City. There are many female relatives in Liu's mansion. Although my father is the county magistrate, it is still inconvenient. I think that Miss Xia has martial arts skills. Why don't you stay in Liu's mansion and do it?" How about a female guard?"

"what!!!"

Before Xia could answer, Han Lingsha screamed in shock and stood up abruptly, poking over the bowl even with her chopsticks, arousing the surprised gazes of Liu Mengli and the other three.

"... Lingsha? What's wrong with you?"

"Uh..." Han Lingsha straightened the bowl in embarrassment, then sat down again, and said awkwardly, "I...I am, this vinegar celery is so sour, I've been pissed off, you don't mind..."

"But, this vinegar celery is not sour at all." Zhao Ling'er tilted her head to look at Han Lingsha, and asked curiously, "Sister Lingsha, are you afraid of eating sour food?"

Good spirit, don't make trouble! ! !

Han Lingsha forced a smile, and said to Liu Mengli: "I can't eat sour food since I was a child, so I just accidentally..."

"Then you didn't say it earlier, I'm sorry, I don't know, I shouldn't have this for you, you should stop eating it," Liu Mengli also apologized, "Lingsha, are you okay?"

I'm fine!It's you who has something to do! ! !Bringing a living person home for no reason!What if others have ulterior motives!And Liu Mengli, how many little thieves are you afraid of? !

Liu Mengli, what kind of heart do you have?

And Xia looked at Han Lingsha, but her expression was a little hesitant, "This... Miss Liu is serious?"

"Mengli naturally speaks volumes." Liu Mengli looked at Xia with a particularly firm expression.

... I will also take care of the home, why don't you ask me if I want to.

Looking dully at Liu Mengli who was staring at each other, Han Lingsha took another chopstick of vinegar celery and put it in her mouth, tears welled up immediately.

Sour, so sour!
