Chapter 9 I will always protect you
"Is there such a good thing? Then I'm going to try my luck."
Shang Bing thanked Yueniang over wine and asked her to take care of Xiao Baojing before leaving the ruined temple with the basket of goods on his back.
Yueniang brought a bowl of hot water to Xiao Baojing: "Sister, why do you stay in this box all the time? I haven't seen you eating or drinking since last night. Are you thirsty? Drink this bowl of water quickly!"
Good man!
Xiao Baojing was very moved and didn't dare to move.
Yueniang looked at her doubtfully for a moment, noticed the looming red thread around her neck, and tentatively opened half of her collar.
"It turned out to be a puppet!" Yueniang came back to her senses, a little angry and a little funny, "That little brother looked handsome, but he was a fool and mistook a puppet for the bride!"
She thought for a moment and put the bowl of hot water next to the cage before continuing to grind the tofu.
At noon, Gu Zhenliang came back from selling tofu, followed by a group of beggars.
Xiao Baojing was lying on the edge of the box and saw him sitting upright on the straw pile with a majestic attitude. The little beggars fell to their knees one after another: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
Gu Zhenliang laughed majestically, waved his hands and said, "I love you so much that you can get away without any courtesy!"
Yueniang came in from behind holding hay and said with a delicate face: "Mr. Lang is playing such boring tricks again!"
Gu Zhenliang took out a handful of peanuts and sent the little beggar away before taking Yueniang into his arms.
He kissed Yueniang's cheek: "It's really fun! You also know that my ancestor was the emperor of the previous dynasty. If it weren't for the stinky Taoist priests who believed in this ruined temple, the Southern Tang royal family might have taken advantage of it and tried to usurp the throne. I am the king of this country! Yue Niang, if I can be the emperor, then I will let you be my queen. Not to mention silver bracelets, even if you want to wear gold bracelets all over your body, I will give them to you. Buy! ”
Yueniang stretched out her index finger and poked his forehead: "I am not a person who covets wealth. Otherwise, it would be a bad idea to marry someone. Why would I marry you? You used all the savings we saved to buy a house the year before last to pray to God and Buddha. Please pray to them." If you become the emperor, what will happen? Half your life’s savings will be wasted! The most important thing for us ordinary people is to live a steady life!”
"Didn't I think at that time that if the gods and Buddhas were willing to let me be the emperor, I could buy you a bigger house? Yueniang, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Gu Zhenliang smiled apologetically and continued to make Yueniang happy.
Xiao Baojing's jaw dropped.
She also thought that Shang Yijiu was a lunatic, but she didn't expect that there was someone even more lunatic than him!
In order to become an emperor, he spent all his savings on buying a house to pray to gods and worship Buddha. Is this something a normal person can do? !
If praying to gods and worshiping Buddha was so effective, wouldn't there be emperors everywhere in the world?
She was thinking that Shang Bingjiu returned to the ruined temple and said that he was selected by the steward. He would live in the county governor's house tonight and perform a bag puppet show at the birthday banquet tomorrow.
Gu Zhenliang said enthusiastically: "Tomorrow, Yueniang and I will go to the county magistrate's house to deliver tofu. Maybe we will meet again. Little brother, it's really hard for ordinary people like you to walk around the streets. You will never see the end in your life. Among the nobles, The opportunity to perform in front of you is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you must perform well and try to get more rewards.”
Shang Bingjiu smiled and felt better, picked up the burden, and left the Jile Temple lightly and skillfully.
Xiao Baojing thought he would be able to live in a better place when he arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion.
As a result, Shang Bingjiu opened the box, and she saw clearly that she was living in Datongpu.
Actors from all over the world live here, including those who smoke cigarettes, play cards, practice swallowing knives and spitting fire, and some who stand naked in the corner and urinate. The house is filled with an indescribable stench.
It would be better to ruin the temple!
"Eh..."
Shang Bingjiu noticed the man peeing in the corner and covered Xiao Baojing's eyes: "Don't look."
Xiao Baojing felt aggrieved: Is this what she wanted to see?
A tall and round man suddenly came over and said in amazement: "Hey, little brother, your puppets are really exquisite! My family has been doing singing and dancing puppet shows for generations, but none of the puppets are as lifelike as yours! I don't know where my little brother learned from this puppet. What kind of skin is it used for? Can you borrow it for me to enjoy?”
Enjoy, have some fun?
Xiao Baojing looked at the big man's arms that were thicker than his own thighs, and had no doubt that he would crush him to death.
Shang Bingjiu protected Xiao Baojing in his arms.
The young man's chest was thin and his arms were slender, like a growing orange tree trying to protect the newly bloomed orange flowers on its branches.
The dark blue wide sleeves brushed against the girl's tender cheeks and lips, carrying the fragrance of mountain pine grass dew, and separated a clean world for her in this smelly Datong shop. He raised his slightly raised fox eyes and expressed tenderness under the lamplight: "My wife is afraid of living, so I might not be able to borrow her."
The big man laughed: "It's just a puppet, why do you call me your wife? Little brother, you really like to joke! Let me pay you one hundred pence, and you will let me observe its body mechanisms. Structure, how? ”
One hundred cents!
Although Xiao Baojing didn't know the monetary system of this world, he also knew that for a salesman who was too poor to take the blame, one hundred pennies was definitely a lot of money!
She was already prepared to be dismantled and reorganized by the big man, but she heard Shang Bingjiu refuse: "I won't borrow it."
The big man frowned and simply reached out to grab it: "Just lend it to me for a look. I won't break it for you——"
Before his hand touched Xiao Baojing, he saw Shang Bingjiu's fangs pressed against his thin lips, and his fox eyes curved in an inexplicable arc, like...like some kind of ferocious dog beast protecting food.
The fangs looked white in the candlelight, as if the boy would bite his hand off immediately if he came any closer.
The big man retracted his hand and left muttering: "I don't even want to look at it. How stingy..."
After the big man left, Shang Bingjiu licked Xiao Baojing's hair and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always protect you."
In the bustle of Datongpu, his voice was firm and firm, with a bit of hoarseness unique to the teenage voice-changing period, like an unripe green orange on the branch.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
His warm fingertips brushed across her cheeks and lips, without any intention of blasphemy or taking advantage, as if she really was his newly married wife.
Xiao Baojing's pupils reflected his gentle face.
She has a charming appearance, red lips and white teeth, and fox eyes that look affectionate to everyone.
Xiao Baojing's face was stained with light pink and red little by little, like an orange flower shyly blooming pink and white petals in spring.
This salesman...
Quite likable.
A yellow-orange crescent moon hangs on the window string.
The actors fell asleep.
Xiao Baojing skillfully took out the box and cage, crept up and rolled up her skirt, intending to secretly find Yaoyao under the cover of night.
The county magistrate's mansion is lined with intricate rockeries and gardens, and festive red lanterns are hung everywhere.
For Xiao Baojing, who has just arrived, it is like a maze. Trying to find Yongyao in this maze is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She walked through the gravel path, but she didn't know that when she turned the corner, she would bump into the patrolling guards of the Sheriff's Mansion.
The fox-faced boy in Taoist robes and hairpins sat cross-legged on the wall, resting his forehead on one hand, looking at Xiao Baojing seeking death, smiling evilly with his fangs.
You will be moved by the boy's casual promise.
It will stir people who do not know good and evil.
He would take the risk of exposing his identity and find a puppet he had only known for a day in the county magistrate's mansion.
"The little princess is so stupid."
Like a stupid and innocent puppy.
