Chalcedony

What? "

Kong Chan shook her body, she felt the master's displeasure.

Sure enough, Chalcedony narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Did I let someone kill your imperial concubine? I nodded in agreement?"

"That was the situation, that situation!" the old man argued excitedly, "If I didn't nod, they would kill me too!"

"Since the first meeting when the empress came to court, I have watched you eradicate dissidents step by step. Shangguan Wan'er, and even Taiping, you have never let go of any of them."

"They messed up the court and are not allowed in the world!" However, the old man soon realized that for those people, his beloved imperial concubine was also like this.

Huai Bi committed suicide.

The old man slumped to the ground.

"Sanlang, I'm not here to reminisce about the old days." But Yusui didn't care about the status or even the physical condition of the man in front of him.She said her reason for coming without hesitation: "Hand over Xiao Liran."

"I do not know!"

"Conditions, tell me. Tell me your conditions." Yu Sui sneered, "You arrested my servant from Longyou just to negotiate conditions with me?"

"She is so important to you?" The old man's expression was complicated, "The village massacre at Yangguan..."

"That's what they deserve." Chalcedony raised her eyebrows, "Sanlang, I've said it before, don't talk too much about what you shouldn't care about. Death is the only destination for people, and the imperial concubine just left earlier than you."

"But if you came at that time, you definitely wouldn't..."

If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of him was a human being, an old man, Chalcedony might have ordered Kong Chan to tear him apart.

This person is the grandson of the woman who gave Chalcedony a new understanding of women.So Chalcedony always wants to let him go, and doesn't want to care too much.

Trembling with fear from Yusui's cold eyes, the former emperor lowered his head and choked up: "In short, in short, there is nothing wrong with the imperial concubine."

"She is not wrong. But you also refuse to admit that you are wrong." Yu Sui sighed softly, and she raised her hand to touch the red fox Kong Chan on her shoulder.

Kong Chan received the task and got up reluctantly.

So, humans are the most annoying.I thought the adults had given up on that stubborn kid.Unexpectedly, in the end, it was for her that he traveled thousands of miles!

What's the matter, my lord?Why are you so obsessed with that brat!

"Witch, chalcedony, you know exactly what I want." Seeing that chalcedony had released the empty cicada, the old man began to retreat in his heart.He compromised and wanted to negotiate terms with Chalcedony.It's just a little ghost, far less important than the noble concubine and the country.

"But I don't want to talk about it now." The witch closed her eyes, but that moment made the emperor shudder.The walls, the ground, the roof, and even the beams seemed to be covered with those dark eyes.This feeling made it hard for him to hold back, and the sweat rolled down his spine.

Seeing Yusui stretched out her hand, suddenly Li Ran appeared in her hand, the collar behind her neck was being held.Li Ran's eyes widened, and they lit up when she saw chalcedony: "chalcedony?"

Thought I'd never see you again.

Yu Sui glanced at her angrily, and said angrily, "You're rude!"

This kind of interaction made the old man very jealous.It seems that since no one knows when, his understanding and judgment of people have been biased.Now one after another has led to big mistakes!

"Why are you here?" Li Ran didn't know that the old man next to her was the once supreme existence, and she only had chalcedony in her eyes at the moment.

No one knows what Chalcedony is thinking.She just looked at Li Ran quietly, but it seemed to be looking at other people through her.Hearing Li Ran's question, she shook her head: "Where's the little girl with you?"

What else does Chalcedony not know?Li Ran couldn't help clenching her teeth.She didn't want to mention Luo Xiaolin.

"Hehe." Seeing Li Ran like this, Yu Sui threw her on the ground, "Li Ran, after you leave, all the flowers will wither."

The author has something to say: This article, according to my vision, is still in the prologue stage.

So don't worry, let me speak slowly.

No.11 act camouflage

That drunkenness completely delayed Li Ran's schedule.After waking up, Luo Xiaolin didn't mention anything, as if the gaffe after drunk never happened.

Luo Xiaolin still socialized in the front building every day, while Li Ran was arranged to do chores in the kitchen.

Li Ran is pretty good at kitchen work.Because for a long time after my father and brother joined the army, she was the assistant when A Niang was cooking.

Aunt Luo, who is in charge of the kitchen, likes the hardworking little Liran very much, and sometimes she will generously distribute the good things left in the front building to her.

It is the rarest thing to be able to eat well. When Li Ran was divided into a section of bacon, she was almost moved to tears.But she didn't eat it, but carefully wrapped it in oiled paper and brought it to Luo Xiaolin.

What hasn't Luo Xiaolin eaten now?She didn't show any emotion or disdain for Li Ran's generosity.Li Ran clearly felt her alienation.But that's good too, at least Li Ran won't feel too much pressure.

The two of them lived in the same room like this.Li Ran felt more and more unable to tell Luo Xiaolin the truth.They have all changed.

It is the Lantern Festival again, and this important border town is also dyed with festive colors.Luo Xiaolin dressed up beautifully early in the morning and went out the door, and brought back cakes for Li Ran at noon.

She hugged Li Ran and smiled brightly: "Xiao Ran, I'm so happy."

Li Ran was slightly stunned, and when she was suddenly pushed away, she only felt a pain in her neck—like being pricked by a needle.

"Li Ran, you executioner!" Her mind went blank, and Li Ran felt herself swaying a few times and falling into Luo Xiaolin's arms.Luo Xiaolin hugged her like he did a long time ago.Only this time, she uttered vicious and disgusting curses: "Li Ran, you will die!"

When Li Ran woke up, she found that she was locked in an iron cage with a basin of clean water and some bowls that looked like fish bones or rotten leftovers.She raised her head, and Luo Xiaolin was sitting outside the cage.She smiled and looked at Li Ran, wondering what she was thinking.

"Li Ran, how did you kill so many people? Huh?" Seeing Li Ran wake up, Luo Xiaolin walked to the side of the cage with a grin.She stretched out her hand to grab Li Ran's jaw: "Say! You murderer!"

not me.Li Ran clenched her teeth, and the muscles in her cheeks tensed.

"You want to deny it?" Luo Xiaolin was annoyed, and he put more strength in his hands, "How can you do so with so many neighbors and folks? Li Ran, do you still think that I am that innocent Luo Xiaolin?"

Li Ran really felt that Luo Xiaolin was a little baffled.No matter what the reason was, Luo Xiaolin's behavior chilled Li Ran.So she also gave up refuting and explaining.

But Li Ran's refusal to explain was taken as acquiescence by Luo Xiaolin, and she said: "The master's words are indeed true!"

"Master, who is it?" Li Ran felt that it was not what she wanted to say, but the voice just came out of her mouth.The back of her hand was hot, as if it was about to burn.She lowered her head and found that the hidden charm on the back of her hand was emitting a dim red light again.

Li Ran couldn't help calling softly: "My lord..."

My lord is a respectful title for my parents.

Luo Xiaolin's expression changed when he heard Li Ran say words that shouldn't appear again.

"Could it be, did you see your..."

As long as he is tainted with the theory of ghosts and gods, it is understandable that Li Ran, a ten-year-old child, can slaughter an entire village overnight.

At this moment, Luo Xiaolin felt wronged.

Obviously, Li Ran was the first victim.

The child that the whole village is going to sacrifice for their own lives is right in front of him.But I couldn't help but want to strangle her to death to comfort the folks who died tragically because of the intention of harming others.

"Miss Pianran, it's better to leave this matter to the Lord to decide."

Just when Luo Xiaolin was hesitating, Huo Langjun walked in with his head down.Only then did Li Ran realize that the place where she was being held was underground.

Huo Langjun held a lamp in his hand, and the faint light reflected his dark face.He walked behind Luo Xiaolin and carried her away from the iron cage.He whispered in Luo Xiaolin's ear: "Miss Pianran, I will give you whatever you want...but now the lord wants to see sister Xiaoli."

Luo Xiaolin was quietly held by him, looking at Li Ran in despair.She lowered her hand: "Master, how do you know her?"

"She has a special relationship with the lord's old friend." Huo Langjun smiled lightly, "Miss Pianran, as long as the lord's great cause is completed, sister Xiaoli will naturally return it."

Luo Xiaolin was stubborn and unwilling. In her opinion, as long as the person is in the hands of the master, there is no possibility of returning.

"Pianran, don't be stubborn. Have you forgotten whose life is yours?"

Then Luo Xiaolin laughed at himself: "Li Ran, you must not run away. Otherwise, I, or I..."

After Luo Xiaolin let go, Li Ran was blindfolded, handcuffed and pushed into a carriage.

Go fast along the way.No one brought food and water to Li Ran.Li Ran was apprehensive, afraid that she had been discovered the secret.And what makes her feel the most chilling is that if the other party stabs her empty stomach again...

"It really is a monster. The saint is now fascinated by these evil spirits and heretics. It is no wonder that even the emperor has lost."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you want your head?"

On the way, it seemed that the escorts were whispering.However, there was no other words along the way, and Li Ran could only roughly judge the number of days by the length of time the carriage stayed.

Waiting for her to be pushed and shoved, tripped by the threshold when entering the door.The black cloth belt covering her eyes fell off, finally allowing her to see her current situation.

In front of him was a man in a black brocade robe with dark flowers, standing in front of a painting with a fan in one hand.After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Ran turned around slowly, only then did he realize that the man's body had been engraved with too many traces of time.Aged, stooped, frustrated, and cold-hearted.

"Gao Lishi, is it going to rain tomorrow? My legs hurt so much!" The old man didn't rush to look at Li Ran, even though the child gave him a big gift when he entered the door.

The old slave who was called by his name bent down, his voice was not high but shrill: "The old slave has prepared a stove in the bedroom."

"Gao Lishi, you are the most caring." The old man smiled lowly, and just looked up to see Li Ran getting up from the ground.

The old man was startled, and motioned Gao Lishi to help him closer.He slowly came to Li Ran, and said: "Help her up and let me have a look."

Li Ran was forced to raise her head, and the old man was confused for a moment after seeing the face clearly.He stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Ran's wrist: "Sure enough, there are."

Somewhat joyful, he hurriedly asked, "Where is your master?"

Li Ran had no idea what he was talking about, so she just shook her head.

The old man squeezed the small wrist tightly, his face flushed: "Say! Say! Where is she! Where is she?"

Seeing this, Gao Lishi hurriedly waved away the others, and he was the last one to close the door.

The old man seemed to have noticed his gaffe just now, he let go of Li Ran's grip with a long sigh.

Li Ran faintly felt who the "she" the old man mentioned might be.Although she can see things in front of her now, her feet and hands are shackled and unable to move at all.So just stand and wait.

Chalcedony.Chalcedony.

Li Ran silently recited the name she missed very much in her heart, and the back of her hand became hotter and hotter.Immediately afterwards, my mind seemed to be ignited by sparks, and a red light flashed before my eyes.

When Li Ran came back to consciousness again, she was already drenched with chalcedony in her hand.

The author has something to say: the narrative style is a bit upside down.

Recently, I started to review the practical skills, and suddenly found that the content was not less than the test. TT

No.12 Fairy on the screen

On that day, Gao Lishi prostrated himself on the ground again, suppressing his voice and emotions.He bet on his wealth and life and once again made the most loyal advice to his master: "The soldiers are safe, and His Majesty is safe."

It was only then that Li Ran suddenly realized—oh, it turned out that what people were talking about before her was His Majesty the Emperor.Then, she realized once again what a powerful figure the witch who threw herself on the ground was.She didn't need to kneel down when she saw the saint, even the saint was still praying like this.Pray for her care and mercy.

The so-called son of heaven, is this what it looks like?

This emperor once brought unprecedented prosperity to the Tang Dynasty, but also pushed the people into the abyss at the time of prosperity.

An Lushan is just the beginning.

The death of the noble concubine who was once under one person did not really play any role in the stability of the dynasty.After all, from the very beginning, the essence of Qing Jun's side has been like this.

After the destruction, it is even more a battle for hearts and minds.Sticky, intense, everything is done in the interests of the Supreme Being.And people who have benefited from Taizong's policy of "hiding wealth from the people", when they know the truth, are they willing to repay their favor for it?Li Ran put a big question mark in her heart.

Yet they will probably never know these truths.

Looking at Li Ran who was sitting on the ground stupidly, Yusui wanted to laugh.Li Ran has been running a fever and sweating profusely since she fell into a coma that day.Gao Lishi asked someone to take care of her every day.When Kongchan found her, the little girl who was looking after Gu Liran was scared to death because of her huge stature.So much so that when she saw Li Ran being grabbed by the hand that had been running out of the roof, she passed out without even making a sound.

But Li Ran would not know about this.Because she woke up when she was caught by chalcedony.

"Little devil, do you know that you have been around the gate of hell again?" Yu Sui knelt down and grabbed Li Ran's ear.Pulling and whispering in Li Ran's ear.

Li Ran shuddered, and her ears were stained crimson when she was grabbed.

Li Ran's silence made Yu Sui very unhappy.But she is a witch, and she considers herself "the most elegant woman" in the world.She suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart: "Xiao Liran, have you learned etiquette?"

Etiquette, now seems to be something highly respected by witches.The etiquette in Chalcedony's mouth should not be like the dignity of masters and servants in the court or in the family.More, it probably refers to the respect for Chalcedony himself.

For Li Ran, a taciturn little boy, Yu Sui actually doesn't have much demands.It's just that she deeply understands the feeling of being a different kind, so she brings Li Ran with her.Coupled with Li Ran's age, Chalcedony developed a heart of compassion.

But these chalcedony will not be spoken.Chalcedony does things all by mood.She doesn't need anyone to understand her good intentions.

Li Ran is just considered withdrawn among children.She lost her family one after another and experienced the betrayal and hurt of those she was familiar with before, and then she had to become neither human nor ghost.

I am afraid that there is no more tragic and unlucky child than her.

When Li Ran was asked by Yusui, her momentum weakened.She pulled Chalcedony's sleeve, a little begging for mercy.

Li Ran only moves but doesn't speak, and Yusui is very angry and funny.In the end, she gritted her silver teeth, with a smile that was not a smile, and her voice squeezed out between her teeth: "Xiao Liran, are you hungry?"

Li Ran hurriedly shook her head, and tightened her sleeves on Chalcedony.She opened her mouth, feeling very afraid of being abandoned by Chalcedony again.Not speaking is not because Li Ran is arrogant, but because she is afraid.

Along the way from Longyou to Jiannan, how could Li Ran not be afraid of being handcuffed and blindfolded?Her only peculiarity is that she does not need food to sustain her life. Besides, what is the difference between her and ordinary children?So when she saw chalcedony, she seemed to have grasped the last straw - she would follow whatever she said.

"But I'm hungry." The witch said.

The dumbfounded Gao Lishi hurriedly ordered people to prepare the dishes.Of course, he didn't dare not prepare for Li Ran due to the lustful power of chalcedony.Compared with Gao Lishi, who had spent most of his life looking at people's faces, his master was obviously more haggard than before seeing chalcedony.

He sat silently on the stool that belonged to him, and pressed his hands hard on his knees.This illness has tormented him for a long time, and the continuous rain after entering Sichuan aggravated the situation.

Chalcedony saw it in her eyes and secretly sighed in her heart.Those people who had intersected with her have all gone to Huangtu one after another.Now, even Saburo is old.

The meal was depressing.

Gao Lishi waited on his master attentively. He lowered his head and glanced at the people on the table from the corner of his eye.

His Majesty Chalcedony, he also heard His Majesty mention it.But His Majesty always kept it secret, he only regarded her as a sorcerer who knew magic.Those who can stay by the emperor's side, apart from the necessary flattery, must also control their eyes and mouth.What should not be seen, what should not be said, will lose one's life because of it at some point.

Silence permeated the table.

"Girl, what's your name?" Li Longji looked at the simple soup dishes on the table, and asked Li Ran who was sitting next to him in a soft and self-confident manner.

Li Ran was still a little nervous about the fact that the former emperor was sitting next to her.But his question did not get the "flattered" answer he imagined by Li Ranru.

Li Longji didn't know what Li Ran's character was, but Yusui and Kong Chan knew it very well.Chalcedony held the hot porridge with chicken shreds in it, and didn't speak.Kong Chan looked at the live chickens outside the yard with bright eyes.

Walking slowly, the woman who walked in was cold and dignified, and chalcedony was two completely extreme styles.The woman crossed the threshold and knelt beside Yusui, nodding: "Mother-in-law."

Chrysoprase blinked, as if she heard it.

Li Ran became so confused.Stepmother?

But soon Li Longji gave the answer, he called the woman softly, his eyes were full of love and affection: "Shangxian, let your adoptive mother see how her body is in a while."

"Yes, father."

Li Ran couldn't understand why Yusui, who hated human beings, recognized the emperor's daughter as a righteous daughter. She tilted her head and looked at Yusui.

"Since the farewell that year, the mother-in-law has not visited Shangxian for quite a while." Princess Shangxian also held up Gao Lishi's freshly filled meat porridge like a chalcedony, her tone was respectful, but her eyes showed longing and desire. kind.

Princess Shangxian is the daughter of Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui. She was born at the beginning of Kaiyuan but died soon after.Then on the eighth day of a certain month, "Xiangfeng Ruihong" appeared on her spiritual throne.Zhang Gong Jiuling wrote to the emperor that the princess was descended from the world as a fairy, and later these were recorded in the history books after Li Longji's approval.

It's just that the world doesn't know that after all, Li Longji is reluctant to let the imperial concubine who has lost her beloved son suffer the pain of losing her daughter again.That eighth day of a certain month was actually the day when he asked Chalcedony to rescue the Shangxian.The "auspicious wind and auspicious rainbow" is naturally a sign of the appearance of chalcedony.

Yu Sui clasped three fingers on Princess Shangxian's inch, and said after a while, "No problem."

Only then did Princess Shangxian smile slightly, she blinked, and affectionately took Yusui's hand: "Aniang, would you like to follow me to the room? Son, I have something to ask."

Yu Sui didn't answer, but got up from her side and told Li Ran, "Li Ran, you go back with Kong Chan."

Li Ran responded and followed Kong Chan to leave.She became more and more curious about Chalcedony's experience.A princess who should have died in her infancy now appeared gracefully in front of her. Does this mean that she still has the hope of growing up?

Li Ran looked down at herself in sight, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

The author has something to say: because tomorrow is a one-day holiday, I will update today~("▔▔▔)/

No.13 Memories

In the end, Li Ran didn't know what Chalcedony and the princess had said in the room.After leaving the saint, Kong Chan took her to the inn to stay.When she opened the door and saw the big and small burdens on the bed, Li Ran suddenly realized that maybe they would not go back to Chalcedony's palace soon.Even when Chalcedony clearly said the first sentence when she saw her, "the flowers are all thankful".

When Yu Sui came back, she asked Li Ran if she would like to go for a walk, Li Ran asked without thinking, "Going to Jiangnan?"

Chalcedony smiled and said nothing.

A few days later, Li Ran felt warm when she learned that the destination was Jiangnan Dongdao.

Traveling thousands of miles a day is very easy for them.But Chalcedony didn't know what kind of thoughts came up, and it took a long time to play all the way.

It was still severe winter when we set out, but now it is already March.

At this time, it is still early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the river wind is warming and turning cold, and the trees on both sides of the river have just sprouted new branches.

It was still some time before the night ban, and the night lights were gradually lit on both sides of the strait.The boat passed through the arch bridge seat, and the boatman sat on the bow.A bamboo wormwood and a few sculls.

The restaurants on both sides of the strait are at a time when business is booming. Occasionally, you can see the wrong boat, and the lantern on the boat has the name of a certain building.

The moon is dim, and the dark blue night is gradually falling.The tented boat floated along the river, and the sound of silk and bamboo could not be heard in my ears. Even the boatman warmed up a pot of fragrant wine and drank alone at the bow of the boat.

Although the war is still mainly in the north, it has affected the form in the south.The officials only cared about taking advantage of the chaos to make the last fortune, and the night ban system gradually lost its original coercive effect.Most of Yeban's management is now Limin people.

But I heard singing from the river, and the charm is pretty good.So not to mention Li Ran who had been sitting upright in the canopy, even Chalcedony who was leaning on Li Ran's lap at will opened her eyes.

That Fang sang: "Liyu Fanglin is facing the high pavilion, and the new clothes are beautiful and beautiful. Yinghu Ningjiao doesn't enter at first glance, but she greets her with a smile when she comes out of the curtain. The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the stream of yushu shines on the backyard..."

Li Ran, who had read some poems and books, was pressing the chalcedony's acupuncture points, but her brows were slightly frowned, and her cheeks were slightly red.

"What's the matter, Li Ran?" Yu Sui didn't listen carefully, so she asked, "What's in that song?"

Does the witch chalcedony know what is sung in that word?Even if Li Ran was killed, she wouldn't believe it.If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come to this smoky Jiangnan!Li Ran still remembers that time when the big fox Kongchan seemed to give her a hard look, but she didn't have time to criticize herself.Because the Witch ordered the fox housekeeper Li Ran to go with her, Kong Chan was sent back.

Then, Li Ran knew that such a powerful witch actually didn't know much about the human world.

"No, it's nothing." Li Ran really didn't know how to explain the content and allusions in the lyrics.After all, for a girl in her teens, those things were still taboo.Even when I asked Dad with a book, Dad was embarrassed.

Li Ran sighed softly, her slightly blood-colored little face showed distress.

Yu Sui closed her eyes: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. Xiao Liran is becoming less and less cute."

cute, what do you mean?Li Ran tilted her head a little puzzled.There are always many words that Li Ran finds meaning unclear from this nobleman's mouth.Compared with those, Li Ran is more curious that the post-war scene that was supposed to be riddled with holes has never appeared, and instead, the atmosphere of waiting to be rebuilt is strong.

So she curiously asked: "Boatman, why is the city so lively today?"

Hearing the sound, the boatman chuckled: "There is civil strife in the camp of security bandits, the imperial court took back two capitals one after another, and the sages of Shu land also drove back to the capital, can you not be happy?"

"But the boatman is not like them." Li Ran said softly.The drunken boatman had a dreamy sadness on his face.

"Now that there are two saints in the temple, the general trend of security is still there, what's the fun!" The boatman seemed to be slightly drunk, he shook his head.

Two saints?Li Ran, who was ignorant of current affairs even though she was in the world, shut up.She quietly looked at the chalcedony who only spoke occasionally and was resting most of the time.Is it possible for a witch who can let herself survive in this posture...

At this moment, Chalcedony, known as the "witch", suddenly laughed, her eyes were as calm as a bottomless pit, her red lips parted slightly, and she asked, "Xiao Liran, why are you peeking at me?"

Li Ran blushed, and shook her head slightly: "Yu Sui, you are really pretty." So, can you sew the slit on the skirt?Of course, Li Ran didn't have the courage to say that.It's just that the white thighs that are looming under the skirt are really intriguing.

Chalcedony opened her eyes slightly.She climbed up Li Ran's shoulders softly and bonelessly, and exhaled lightly: "Looks good? Is it just good-looking?"

Li Ran nodded, then felt unsafe and shook her head again.She thought for a long time, and finally asked: "Chrysoprase, do you know how old I should be this year?"

Where would the witch chalcedony with endless life remember those imaginary things?It's just that the almighty witch doesn't like to be looked down upon, so she recalled carefully: "About eleven or twelve."

Eleven or twelve?Li Ran lowered her head to look at her unchanged body, feeling even more depressed.She still remembered that her father had said that she would grow up to be the most beautiful girl in the village just like Auntie.

It's just growing up, and now it has become an unattainable dream.Ever since meeting Princess Shangxian, Li Ran paid more and more attention to her unchanged body.

Chalcedony has always known the insatiability of human beings.When you get it, you want more.This phenomenon is called desire, lust.Chalcedony herself would have that kind of emotion, just like she would "save" Li Ran.According to the past, she should leave the child in the place where the dead and blood piled up.

Chalcedony's eyes became deeper and deeper.She took out a purse from nowhere and tied it around Li Ran's waist, and said in a low voice, "Li Ran, go ashore for a walk."

When Li Ran glanced at the bright red flame-like skirt of the witch and the slender thighs looming on the skirt, she sighed deeply again: "Chalcedony, let's go to the inn first, shall we?"

The Witch doesn't really care about these ethos details.However, Li Ran still cared.She left the chalcedony in the inn, and asked the shopkeeper for directions to a cloth shop and a tailor's shop to choose suitable clothes.

She was a little surprised when Chalcedony received a bright red dress with her neck exposed but her lower body was dignified.She put on her skirt and twirled gracefully in front of Li Ran: "How?"

very good.Li Ran nodded silently, thinking that this nobleman still has merit.

Chalcedony smiled and bent her eyebrows, her eyes flickering with an unknown light.So they couldn't hold back the chalcedony, and they went back to the clothing store.Chalcedony didn't look around when she entered the shop, she just turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, are there any clothes that my younger sister can wear?"

The shopkeeper was attracted by that charming voice, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Chalcedony when he raised his head, but his gaze only met Chalcedony's eyes for a moment, and he yelled "monster", and then the whole body They all shrank under the table.

Only then did Li Ran realize that Chalcedony's eyes are actually quite different things.And looking carefully, it's really a little scary.

During the reign of Wude and Zhenguan, women often wore scorpions when they went out.After Yonghui, all use curtain caps.After Emperor Zhongzong, the Hu style prevailed, and Hu clothes and hats became common attire.Going out to show up is a common thing, so Li Ran herself forgot that she should give special chalcedony to cover up those very human features.

She should put a cap on chalcedony!It was too late, Li Ran tugged at the sleeve of Chalcedony who had been staring at the table where the shopkeeper was hiding, and whispered: "Chrysony, that, they are just ordinary people." So don't be angry, okay?

Chalcedony was in high spirits just now, but now that the shopkeeper called her, she didn't want to go shopping any longer.She turned around to leave, but she stepped back and picked up the shopkeeper.A cold light flashed in those jewel-like dark eyes, and words that Li Ran didn't understand sang from her vermilion lips.

Chalcedony picked up the nearest set of clothes and was about to go out.The shopkeeper saw off the customer with a smiling face as if he hadn't seen it: "Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly!"

Li Ran looked left and right, and finally trotted to catch up with the chalcedony who stuffed the women's outfit into the bowl of a male beggar by the side of the road.Li Ran wanted to laugh but felt inappropriate.She held onto Chalcedony's finger, frowning slightly from the temperature of that finger: "That, that, it's not good to steal."

The witch raised her brows: "Which eye of yours saw that I stole it?" While speaking, Chalcedony lifted Li Ran's chin with her hand, and used her pointed nails to move back and forth on the slippery skin, as if the other party was not interested. If she gives a satisfactory answer, she will use her sharp nails to scratch the opponent's throat.

Of course Li Ran knew that Chalcedony would not kill her.Because Li Ran, who has seen chalcedony's tricky cleanliness, knows how much this adult doesn't want to be stained with dirt.But Li Ran didn't want to make Yusui angry, so she shook her head: "You misunderstood. I was just saying that stealing is bad, not you."

Chalcedony smiled, and the kiss just fell on the corner of Li Ran's lips.Those flaming lips not only transferred heat and burned Li Ran's cheeks red, it even made her close her eyes involuntarily.Li Ran was slightly startled, suppressed her frenzied heartbeat, but heard Yu Sui angrily say in that clear and joyful voice: "Human beings are just sophistry!"

Li Ran couldn't laugh or cry.At that time, she didn't know what this seemingly ignorant witch had experienced.

"Slave family Langya Tobu."

Just when Li Ran was distracted, Yu Sui had already chatted with a certain gentleman.That handsome gentleman still had some books in his stomach, and asked politely: "Dongwu? Did the lady say Zhucheng?"

Yusui didn't know what Zhucheng was, so she turned her head to look at Li Ran.Li Ran sighed softly, and explained softly: "In the 18th year of the founding of the previous dynasty, the Dongwu you mentioned has been renamed Zhucheng."

Chalcedony blinked: "Li Ran, I'm sleepy."

So I asked the gentleman who still wanted to pester me to go back to the inn.It's just that Chalcedony's good interest seems to be completely disrupted.

"You, were you ever a human?" After thinking for a long time, Li Ran finally couldn't help holding up Chalcedony's cold hand.How could the witch chalcedony, who claims to rarely visit the world, just make up her native place and residence?

Langya Dongwu.What kind of environment would the Witch-sama grow up in at that time?What happened to her and she finally abandoned her human identity and became an omnipotent witch?

It's just that chalcedony doesn't want to mention it.Probably, it is also a sad story, right?After Li Ran asked such a question, she regretted it.She has no intention of prying into other people's secrets.

It's just that with Chalcedony's personality, even if she is injured, she probably won't show weakness easily, right?

Yusui really raised her eyebrows, and snorted softly: "How can I be that lowly human being!"

Li Ran helplessly clenched the warm palm, and kissed lightly: "Chalcelain, I wish you a sweet dream."

Time can completely change a person.Li Ran knew that chalcedony existed for hundreds of years.Even if Chalcedony once really lived in a certain era, now she is just a woman called a "witch" who stopped time and didn't care about the existence of life.

Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty once quoted the "Hetu Jade Edition" saying that there is white jade paste on Shaoshi Mountain, and once taken, it will be immortal.And this jade ointment is synonymous with chalcedony.

Chalcedony pulled out her palm, her voice was cold and hard: "I don't want it, human comfort."

Li Ran suddenly realized that she had no way to calm the temper of the Witch.She knelt and sat by the bed, apologizing and not begging for mercy.Chalcedony closed her eyes and said nothing, as if she just fell asleep.After a long time, Li Ran finally gave up.She rustled out of bed, took off her shoes and quietly went out the door.

Only when she heard the sound of closing the door did Chalcedony slowly open her eyes.The eyelids could not be covered, and the memory flooded in like a tide. "I thought you'd forgotten it." Chalcedony whispered softly, laughing slightly jokingly and mockingly.

The author has something to say: Today is also a new update.Happy Dragon Boat Festival~

Act No.14 By the Suzaku Bridge

After that, chalcedony was not in a high mood for several days.Although the chalcedony in Li Ran's eyes has always been that carefree and casual look.

It looks like Chalcedony is playing with Li Ran, but the route and direction are all in the hands of Chalcedony.It has always been Li Ran's wish to travel all over the country and see different customs.So no matter how chalcedony arranges, she will happily follow.

Soon, the two came to Jinling, the favorite place of tribute for literati and poets.

This is the old capital of the Six Dynasties.Since the Jin Dynasty, it has gradually become a place where famous families live together.In the past, merchants gathered, literati gathered, and Confucianism was at its peak... the Qinhuai River and Wuyi Lane were the most respected.

Now that the prosperity has been broken, most of the travelers are literati who hang on to the past and hurt the present.Walking on the street, from time to time you can see someone scribbling ink on paper and exporting poems.Just walking like that, even Li Ran suddenly developed a literati's emotional integrity, and was laughed at by Yusui because of it.

Although Chalcedony is a witch, she seems to have a deep knowledge of the literature in this land.It's just that her self-cultivation is different from these bold and unrestrained poets, she looks more orthodox and dignified.In short, it was a feeling that Li Ran couldn't describe.During the conversation, Li Ran also discovered a little secret of Chalcedony - the witch obviously prefers poetry to poetry.

Along the Qinhuai River, besides poetry
