Qizhou

Go down the mountain from the back door of Zhuxi Village, go north, pass through a bamboo forest, and turn a small slope to reach Fuji Town at the foot of the mountain.

Around the fifteenth day, there was an endless stream of people going to the market in this town.All kinds of farming, tools, and gadgets, only you have never seen before, and there are no sellers who can't sell them.As soon as Xi Nian heard about Fuji Town, he knew how to take the short cut. Since the Taoist chief wanted to buy things for him, it was his duty to lead the way.

The two quietly descended the mountain along the shortcut.Ci Nian, who had a new hairstyle, looked very excited. He walked ahead, shaking his head from time to time, letting the high ponytail swing back and forth on the back of his head, and shaking his white fluffy ears together. stop.He Qizhou followed behind, staring at the pair of ears. When he walked down the mountain, he suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute."

Ci Nian turned around suspiciously, but saw that the Taoist priest who taught him etiquette and rules just now was walking over the half-person-high fence on the side of the road, and surrounded by the fence was a small lotus pond.He Qizhou rolled over with a slight lift of his leg, and he went straight to the oily green lotus leaves. It's not halfway through midsummer, and the lotus leaves are unfolding to their largest and roundest shape.Regardless of whether there is anyone in this place, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the two lotus leaves closest to the shore, and gently picked them off.

"If I go to pick it, I will be scolded..." Ci Nian muttered for a while, but his vision dimmed.

He Qizhou broke off the too long stem, put the lotus leaf on Ci Nian's head, and covered his conspicuous ears.

Ci Nian touched the lotus leaf, fiddled with it a few times, and revealed those big eyes. He looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that I will be too conspicuous, and people will stare at me when I go to the market." ?"

He Qizhou nodded, put another lotus leaf on his head, and said with a smile: "There are many people in the market, and they are there to buy things for you. If your ears are seen by others, it will not scare many people away, or It is inappropriate to attract a group of onlookers. In summer, it is reasonable to wear lotus leaves to block it, and you will not be surrounded by people."

He added: "However, if you are the only one wearing the lotus leaf, I am afraid it will still attract attention, so I will also wear it. If you want to see it, let's watch it together."

Before leaving the mountain, he deliberately found a short Taoist robe from He Qizhou's package.The clothes were still big, but after adjusting the tightness of the belt, they barely fit.The two figures stood together, one tall and the other short, dressed in white shirts, and with two watery lotus leaves on their heads, they looked extraordinarily unique.Ci Nian liked this hat, he touched it again and again, and said: "The lotus is beautiful..."

He Qizhou said: "Lotus flowers are beautiful, they can't cover your ears, and you can't put them on your head."

Ci Nian let out a resentful "Oh" and didn't mention it again.

The two walked for a while, and the gate of Fuji Town was right in front of them. Before they walked in, they heard the sound of people coming from the market.Ci Nian followed He Qizhou in through the main entrance, and this was the first time he swaggered in through the main entrance.The shops in the town are very large, and the restaurants are also multi-storey. Ci Nian watched Xiao Er serve the wine and dishes, and ran up the wooden stairs outside, so he looked curiously for a while.

Seeing this, He Qizhou followed him and stopped, just pulled him to the side of the road, and watched with him for a while: "Are you going to change your career to be a waiter?"

Ci Nian raised the hat on his head: "No... just haven't seen it before."

He Qizhou smiled: "You don't look like someone who has never been to the market?"

Ci Nian said: "Of course I have been here. I came at night. There are not so many people." He looked at it for a while, and then stopped looking.

The two walked through the market for a while, and visited several clothing shops. Although this is a town, it is a small town after all, and most of the shops that make a living here are hawkers. appeared here.He Qizhou didn't dare to say anything else, but in terms of aesthetics, he definitely surpassed Ci Nian by a large margin.

When he saw the red gauze skirt in the clothing store, his eyes lit up. He was about to take a step when he was pulled back by He Qizhou. The two of them tugged, twisted into an awkward position, and walked towards the counter next to the counter. The men's section is removed.He Qizhou dragged the stubborn fox, and quickly picked out a cotton shirt for him, stuffed the fox with the clothes into the small cubicle, and secretly drew his sword to warn him when he was done.

Ci Nian, who was not as skilled as others, could only "tch", went into the cubicle with his head down, and changed his clothes honestly.

But when he changed his clothes and walked towards the bronze mirror, the gauze skirt and red dress flew out of his mind immediately, and he picked it up cleanly.

"This... this, this, this, this is me!" Ci Nian was so excited that he pointed at the person in the mirror. In fact, there was not much change, but the clothes fit and the matching was refreshing. Although this style is not the most fashionable, it is It can also bring out how handsome he is.

"It's you." He Qizhou took out his purse and bought the set without saying a word, "Are you still arguing about buying skirts?"

Ci Nian shook his head like a rattle, and using both hands and feet, he stuck to He Qizhou's body, smiling like a blooming flower: "The Taoist priest is so powerful, the Taoist priest is the most powerful, I will listen to everything from the Taoist priest from now on." I will go wherever the Taoist priest tells me to go!"

"Then..." As soon as He Qizhou opened his mouth, a loud scream came from outside the clothes shop.The fox who loves to join in the fun couldn't hold back his temper, and immediately let go of his hands and poked his head out towards the door.

In the aisle in the middle of the market, another person was running hard. The person was wearing ripped clothes, and his exposed skin was also dirty, as if he was naturally darker than others.And in his hand, he was holding a small light-yellow purse that didn't match his identity at all.A few seconds after he ran past, a girl in a green skirt was panting after him. While running, she stretched out her hand, pointed at the man in front, and said hoarsely: "Catch... catch the thief! Catch the thief ah!"

When He Qizhou saw him, he was about to chase him out immediately, but he didn't expect that the people around him were faster than him, and he jumped out in a flash, like a rushing wind.

Seeing that the distance between the girl and the girl was getting farther and farther, the thief was secretly delighted in his heart, but he unexpectedly killed Cheng Yaojin on the way and stopped him on the road.Seeing that the situation was not good, the thief turned around and was about to run behind the young man. Unexpectedly, the man blocking the way was faster. He turned around and grabbed the man's shirt at the back of his neck.

The thief was not a fool, seeing his clothes being caught, he immediately retracted his arms, took off the tattered clothes on his body, and used the old-fashioned but timeless golden cicada to get rid of the shell.But his calculations were still in vain, and Ci Nian grabbed a piece of clothing in this room, and He Qizhou in the other room slammed into the air to stop him, without saying a word, he drew his sword and put it on his neck.

In just a split second, a sword blade was added to the man's neck. The thief was so frightened that he froze on the spot and didn't dare to move for a while.

Ci Nian threw away the dirty clothes in his hands, and stepped forward to snatch the purse in his hand with a look of disgust. Just as he turned around, he happened to run into the little girl who had been chasing her so hard that she couldn't even run.The girl was sweating after chasing her, her cheeks were flushed, she patted her chest with one hand, and hurriedly took the money bag handed over by the New Year with the other, she was out of breath, and she had to thank her first: "Thank you... bit..."

He Qizhou said: "You don't have to be polite, it's just that the road is uneven."

The thief is like a slippery loach, he spotted the moment when He Qizhou was talking to the girl, he squatted down and was about to run under his sword!Seeing this, Chi Nian rushed forward to fight him, this fight didn't matter, he was unsteady, and was staggered by the thief, both of them fell to the ground.I have done a lot of things like rolling on the ground, but after rolling like this, the new clothes I just bought are dirty!

The fire in Ci Nian's heart burned immediately, he pulled the thief by the collar, rode on him, and punched him in the face: "My new clothes! You pay! Pay me!"

The thief only wanted to run, he didn't care about all this, he hit his head twice, suddenly saw the gap, gave him a hard push, jumped up and was about to run.This overthrow was not a big deal, but the thief ran away, the clothes were dirty, and I was even more unhappy when I said goodbye!Seeing her benefactor turned over on the ground, the girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him, but just by turning over, the lotus leaf on the resignation year fell off and was trampled dirty by a passing uncle.

More importantly, without the cover of the hat, the ears on Ci Nian's head were about to be exposed to the eyes of hundreds of people on Fuji Town Street.

The girl was taken aback, but before she had time to say anything, He Qizhou immediately took off the lotus leaf hat on her head, buttoned it on her head, pulled her up and was about to leave.The girl hurriedly followed, completely ignoring the comments and surprises of the people around her, and followed them all the way to find a small road outside the town before stopping the two of them to talk.

She recovered and was no longer out of breath.She looked at Ci Nian, then at He Qizhou, and said, "Thank you two benefactors, there is a tea shop in front, if you don't mind, I'll treat you both to something to eat and a cup of tea..."

Seeing that the two hesitated, she immediately said: "This young master's... I won't tell, I will definitely keep it a secret!"

Seeing this, He Qizhou was finally relieved: "Forget it. Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Please lead the way."

Ci Nian kept his head in suspense until he entered the shop and sat down, looking at the snacks served, he finally eased his expression.He Qizhou poured him tea and told him to wash his hands before eating, and he obeyed obediently.The green-clothed girl looked at them for a while, and said, "He Daoist...are you friends with this one?"

He Qizhou thought for a while: "Yes."

Ci Nian had been eating cakes all the time, but after hearing this, he raised his head and stared at him blankly for a while, then came back to his senses and asked the girl, "How do you know he is Daoist He?"

The girl nodded, and a little blush appeared on her cheeks: "My name is Zhufuxue, and I am from Zhuxi Village. I usually read books at home and don't go out for a walk, so the Taoist priest has never seen me, but the Taoist priest's business, Dad Told me all."

He Qizhou asked: "Your father?"

Zhu Fuxue smiled: "My father, Zhu Wentao, is the head of Zhuxi Village."
