Chapter 119 My Own World (6) That little brother, wearing gray...
The young man, wearing a grey gown and with a long braid of hair that fell to his waist, was standing a few meters away from the drifting ice sea, looking at the sunset over the long river and the lone wild goose flying across the sky.
A splash of water brushed against his robe, wetting the edge. He stood by the drifting ice for a long time, saying quietly, "The flying geese enter the lake, finding a place of freedom. The southern sparrows fly north, lamenting the pity of being tossed about."
He was reciting a poem, and what a crappy poem it was.
He rubbed the stone from the drifting ice sea in his hand for a while and then put it on the ground.
She's a finch, well, maybe.
"Are you talking about me?"
Don't you want to not talk to her?
"Are you paying attention to me?" she asked with a confused face.
“Just passing through.”
The young man, with his hands behind his back, looked back at her like a beautiful scene in poetry or painting... and paused.
"You are alone here, worrying about it. Is there any hope for salvation?"
She picked up the stone and rubbed it in her palm for a while. The sand of the stone spread out in her palm, white as the white river water in front of her.
But the river water is clearly clear, and the sky is dark blue.
Oh, she might be crying again. She wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Tears wet my sleeves, but my heart remains sharp.
He probably felt a little uneasy after being "brainwashed".
The scenery here is unique, and he often comes here at night.
Now that there is one more person, the scenery is no longer beautiful alone, it is not that beautiful anymore.
Especially since her stone had wet the corner of his clothes. If this was considered an ominous sign, then the identity of the ominous person could be defined.
He looked back and paused for a long time.
Because he saw her use a broom to sweep the elderly owner half a kilometer away.
The broom was khaki in color, just as yellow as her face as she was sweeping the floor. People say that a virtuous wife will bring no troubles at home, but having a daughter who mops people with a broom is indeed not a good thing.
I don’t know whether it is the owner of the manor who is unlucky or she is unlucky.
However, her strength is amazing.
He saw the owner's face was covered with black dirt after being swept, and finally he glared and walked away with a fierce look on his face. She stood with the broom and looked at the other person's back for a long time, and finally frowned, looking cynical and unwilling to listen to advice.
Now he is holding the stone here again, as if "he is worried and pitiful."
The sky is vast and the river is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and there are few cattle and sheep.
"If you are not comfortable, then find another way out, go further away, and don't live here anymore," he said.
Why bother to offend people here?
She turned around and looked at the young man who was wearing a long robe and looked like a poet, but was actually a knife sharpening boy.
Did he know that in the original life, she ran away to Dazhong City and never came back?
She no longer wanted to participate in the chaotic and displaced city battles, and she didn't want to meet him in the battle of the city one year.
"Why can't there be room for me here?" She actually said something very childish.
He looked at her young face, which was full of stubbornness, pouting lips, and looking unhappy.
It's completely different from when I was holding the broom just now.
"It's not easy for you to live here. If you have a destiny somewhere far away, you might as well marry her."
He's like a worm in someone's stomach.
How did he know?
She looked at him suspiciously.
"I guessed," he said frankly.
The owner of the manor is her biological father. The only way for him to sweep her away with a broom is to make her marry far away.
However, the southern bird goes north. She is a southern bird, but she is forced to go north. It is really pitiful.
"I'm not going anywhere."
System: She’s not going anywhere, she’s just staying here to bother you!
The drifting ice sea hit my head.
"Anxiety and worries are common in life. Drifting on this river is not necessarily comfortable. You don't know where you come from or where you are going. When the wind blows, you are carried away," he said.
The moon was getting bigger and bigger, and a large semicircle rose. Liu Binghai actually felt that he looked very much like Li Bai when he stood there in his long gown and sleeves.
What she said was so poetic, really...
"Do you rent cows?" she asked again.
Let's be practical, "You rent it, and I'll give it to you at a lower price."
“No rent.”
"So you have a side job? Help me rent a cow."
"No help."
His answer was firm.
According to normal logic, this man should have been worshipped and attracted by her "hard work and rebellion" and fallen at her feet.
There is no golden finger in this life?
"Forget it." She stood up and patted her butt. "Then we'll see you later."
After a long time, I still don’t know which way to go or where to put my head.
When she got home, she saw Code standing at the gate of the yard waiting for her.
Seeing her come back, Ke De asked her awkwardly, "Sister, does the owner of the village want to marry you off somewhere else?"
"I won't marry." She said decisively.
Ke De's expression improved a little. "Sister, how about we go out together for the Autumn Festival next month?"
Liu Binghai nodded, but felt that some things still needed to be made clear to him, so he said directly, "Ke De, do you like me?"
Code was startled, his little face flushed, and he was as flustered as a little white rabbit. He kept saying "I, I, I" for a long time, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.
Liu Binghai said, "If you like me, then turn it into a brother-sister relationship. I just treat you as a brother and won't have anything to do with you."
Ke De's face turned yellow and green, "Sister, I..."
"I don't like my brother. We grew up together and we know each other too well."
Code's momentary embarrassment was followed by a long period of disappointment.
"Sister..." He wanted to cry but had no tears. How could this woman not know how to be tactful at all?
In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t understand, but she has seen through everything and has no time to waste.
"Call me Liu Binghai," she said.
Cord opened his mouth, then closed it again, frowning.
"Scream." Liu Binghai said.
Ke De hesitated for a long time and said, "I dare not."
"It's up to you."
Ke De was frustrated for a long time, his face turned red and white, white and red again, and after a while he said, "I like you, it's my own business, I just like you."
Liu Binghai smiled and said, "You are still a minor and your development is not complete. It is impossible for you to be innocent."
Ke De's face swelled up, "Sister, you..."
"Okay." Liu Binghai interrupted him, "We've never celebrated the Great Autumn Festival since we were little."
She is 20 years old this year and Code is only 16. Due to their poor status, they have been living away from people since childhood. In fact, every year during the Autumn Festival, he always insists on going out to play, but is stopped by the groom every year.
This year is their first time celebrating the festival.
Liu Binghai returned to her room and took out the mask base she had found from under the bed. She smiled at Ke De and said, "This year I can spend the holiday in peace."
The Great Autumn Festival is less than a month away. This is the first time to celebrate the festival in the village. She wants to make two top-notch and gorgeous masks for herself and Code.
As the Great Autumn Festival approached, she met Tuta again while leading her cow. She asked Tuta how he planned to spend the Great Autumn Festival, but Tuta was still indifferent and said to her, "You'd better not run around."
She walked away step by step, leading the cow. As she walked, she turned back and said to him, "People who have never seen the world are really uncultured."
Painted Tower???
Talk about him???
On the evening of the Great Autumn Festival, the iceberg gave Code a large and gorgeous mask with an eagle's face. He was very surprised.
This was painted by Liu Binghai himself using the mask base. It is a lonely and proud eagle, very exquisite.
"Sister, you are so talented."
Hers was a face of Sailor Moon. She had seen cartoons in the outside world. Sailor Moon was brave and invincible, just like her.
She added a bat to Sailor Moon's face, gave her a black dress, dark blue thick lips and a dark starry sky. Under the full moon of the Great Autumn Festival, this face was extremely charming and artistic, even with a mysterious color.
She put on a mask and suddenly appeared like a Sailor Moon in a battle robe on this special full moon night.
After dark, she and Kede ran on the way to the market.
It seems that I have to go out in the dark and wear a mask so that I won’t be discovered.
Kede said, "Sister, you have such a beautiful head."
Liu Binghai looked back, and the flaming deep blue red lips were sexy and charming in the dark night.
The market at the farm is very lively. It is a place where people from nearby villages can gather to hold market. It is close to the farm geographically, but in terms of ownership, it is shared by three villages at the same time. Especially during the Big Autumn Festival, people from the three villages come here to celebrate the festival, and it is very lively.
The whole street was filled with food, entertainment, and stalls selling things, and it was no different from the world she had been in when she was on missions.
The food is just a little weird, like fried rice with bean sprouts, mung bean balls, corn and chicken liver buns, and popped glutinous sprouts, which are only available in their place.
I haven't eaten these strange things in a long time. It's a rare opportunity to come out and try them. They taste pretty good.
"Sister, there are so many people here. I didn't know the Autumn Festival is so lively."
Ke De was just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This was indeed a rare Grand View Garden for them.
There were also martial arts performances and shadow puppetry. It turns out they have shadow puppetry here too.
The drifting ice sea stopped and looked for a while.
The play tells the story of a man and a woman fighting against their family life. He suffered all kinds of grievances from her. He worked like a horse and ox every day, but he got no good result. In her mouth, he became a useless coward.
The woman cried, thinking about how hard it was for her to have children and support the family, yet she still had to suffer such ridicule.
After hearing this, the man said that he was being chased and beaten outside, and she knew about it.
Those who were chasing him all had unknown secret conspiracies behind them, and he was so pitiful that he accidentally fell into them.
The woman burst into tears again, making the noise endless.
The onlookers were just there to watch the fun, and they applauded as they saw the men and women crying.
He looked at the drifting ice sea for a while and then left.
The voice behind him was still ringing: those people chasing him, those secrets and conspiracies.
Going further, there is also opera. On the night of the full moon, a man and a woman enter the bridal chamber. The man and woman are descendants of feuding families. They eloped to a remote village but their love is stronger than gold and they sing.
Code looked very happy, holding a box of corn-fried chicken liver in his hand.
He spent almost all the money he had saved since he was a child on this trip, but he could only buy a few servings of corn and chicken liver.
Liu Binghai had even less money. She had originally hoped to rent a cow to earn some money to take him out for the holidays, but with her background, the feudal thinking here was really hopeless, and she didn't make a penny.
However, now wearing a mask seems to make money.
Liu Binghai nudged Kede with his arm and said, "Look over there."
The market during the Great Autumn Festival is very large, and there are activities where you can compete to earn money, such as drinking, sword dancing, arm wrestling, etc., which is equivalent to gambling.
Since you're just wandering around anyway, you might as well earn some money. After earning the money, you can buy some Jade Branch Flower Dew, Drunken Fragrance Paste, rice fried chicken skin, etc. The food here is very strange. They like to add rice to everything they fry, and they use raw rice in the pan and fry it into granules. Here, rice is just used for cooking like peas.
When she ate white rice for the first time during the mission, she was surprised that the rice could be steamed so soft and big by soaking it in water. In a different world, she was no longer an ominous figure, but a savior-like mission master.
Liu Binghai went to the "gambling" area and observed for a while. There were "many talented people" there. Those who wanted to drink were competing in drinking, and those who wanted to dance with swords were competing in swords. He saw that none of them could drink as well as her, but none of them could dance as well as her.
Looking further away, there are also talismans and books for upgrading "martial arts", as well as "magic water" that helps in practicing martial arts when drunk.
These were not sold to the farm. Few people on the farm practiced martial arts. Most of them were just ordinary farmers working on the land. This was not a farm for practicing martial arts. In the past eight hundred years, there had only been one "villain" named Liu Binghai. It was for this reason that the farm where the ancient tomb was discovered was bullied.
If you didn't treat me as your ancestor and forced me to leave my hometown to protect Dazhong City, I could stay here to defend my hometown, Liu Binghai suddenly thought so.
However, she had no plans to practice martial arts in this life. She wanted to try being an ordinary farmer.
So she just glanced at the stall selling martial arts talismans and then thought only of drinking.
There were quite a lot of people at that stall, and some of them were wearing masks. It was just like the big fairs outside, with people chasing each other wearing colorful masks, which was novel and lively.
Looking back at the "gambling stall", the drinkers were rubbing their hands together and were already flushed with alcohol.
Among them, the person who kept losing lost a bag of change, and even made dirty jokes about his losses.
The winner on the opposite side was also a man, and he told dirty jokes one after another. The loser not only lost the drinking game, but also lost the dirty jokes, and was so angry that he was sweating profusely.
The heat of the wine made him even more irritable, and finally he threw the glass down and stopped drinking.
The wine glass rolled down, but because it was made of copper, it did not break.
Liu Binghai picked it up and said, "I'll drink it."
The people around were not curious. The gambling and drinking went on and on, with people coming and going. It was not surprising to see her as one of them.
But she has to drink from whoever's cup she picks up, unless the other party refuses to accept the challenge, then she can change people.
The man opposite looked at her, smiled slightly behind the mask, and poured her a full glass of wine like a gentleman. Liu Binghai tilted her head back and drank it. For her, this little bit of wine was like feeding a cat.
However, after drinking this cup, she was stunned for a moment.
This wine is really strong, it is pure strong liquor, so strong that it makes her throat hurt and her heart itch, which is different from what she usually drinks.
However, this did not bother her. It just made her throat burn, but she just endured it.
After a few drinks, she began to feel hot, but her mind remained clear. The rules of the gambling stall were clearly written: if you drank ten drinks in a row, you would win the stall owner's ten-yuan basic reward. After that, it was your turn to gamble with your opponent.
Liu Binghai was the man who had just come to assist the man, and was considered a gambler. The game was played by the opponent, who bet on how many drinks you could have. If you accepted the bet, you would bet money. If you couldn't drink it all, the money went to the opponent. If you could drink it all, the opponent's bet would be yours.
The same goes for the other way around.
There is also a bet on two people drinking at the same time. The other party places the bet first, and the person who accepts the bet also puts down money. They bet on how many glasses the two people will drink at the same time. Whoever finishes first gets the money.
Now the masked man chooses the first method.
After drinking ten glasses of wine in a row, Liu Binghai received a reward from the stall owner and officially obtained the qualification to gamble.
The other party extended his hand very gentlemanly and asked her to sit down.
Although the liquor was strong, it only hurt her throat. Code bought her a corn as a base. She swallowed it in three or five mouthfuls, and the burning sensation in her stomach was mostly relieved.
The other party bet 20 silver dollars that she would drink 10 glasses of wine with camellia and lemon juice.
Camellia sinensis is a kind of flavoring flower here, which is added to wine to increase its strength and alcohol dispersion.
Liu Binghai put down the 10 yuan he had just saved and drank the wine that had been spiked with camellia flowers in it ten times.
In her previous life, she had drunk all kinds of strong liquor. When she was practicing martial arts, she used wine to improve her skills and practiced swordplay while drinking.
The man bet another 50 yuan on her to drink 15 glasses of wine, plus 15 times the amount of tea flowers. If she could drink five glasses, she could take the 50 yuan. If she could drink all 15 glasses, he would add another 100 yuan.
Here, one yuan can buy 10 steamed buns, and one thousand yuan can be used as a dowry for a girl from a poor family.
She drank these fifteen cups of wine with fifteen times the amount of camellia in it to her heart's content. After finishing the wine, she rubbed her head and took two bites of corn cobs, feeling very satisfied.
She can drink simply because she loves to drink. Interest determines professionalism.
The opponent was very surprised. This time, he chose the second method and both sides competed in speed.
They competed in the speed of drinking 8 glasses of wine. This time, there was no camellia flower. Liu Binghai thought that the other party might be afraid of fainting... After all, he had just competed with a man for a long time.
8 glasses of wine, without camellia, the other party bet 30 yuan, and Liu Binghai also bet 30 yuan.
In this way, both parties must be betting the same amount.
The other party was very polite. He toasted with a fist first and then drank the wine. When he was about to finish the fourth glass, Liu Binghai seized the opportunity to drink the fifth glass in front of him.
She finished two drinks before the other person.
Wine without camellia is almost the same as strong water.
The alcohol absorption capacity is not high, but it is spicy on the tongue.
Liu Binghai didn't want to drink anymore, she had to save some strength.
She took the money and gave the other party a fist bump. Occasionally, people would act up and cheat during drinking games, and her left leg was ready. If he cheated and refused to let her go, or tried to deduct her money, she would kick him.
The other party did not do so. She was just surprised for a moment and then respectfully let her go.
She also has to go arm wrestling.
She wants to compete in drinking, lesbianism, and sword dancing.
The ones who tried to be gay were all big, strong men, as strong as bulls, so she was a little hesitant.
Although she is very strong, what matters is her skill.
If you want to compete with a cow in strength, you have to bring her cow over.
"Sister, there's no need for this," said Code.
But I really want to give the drift ice sea a try.
She chose a slightly slimmer man.
She was very curious, was it her cleverness that was more powerful, or the opponent's fat that was more powerful.
The other party bet 10 yuan, and she also bet 10 yuan, and the two began to arm wrestle, and the surroundings were filled with all kinds of cheering and encouraging voices.
{What a brave girl, coming here to arm wrestle a man.}
{How do you know she's a girl? Maybe she's a boy.}
{Don't you see that the mask is of a beautiful young girl?}
{Maybe it's just a trick, and he's actually a young man.}
The surrounding discussions were mixed with the roars of people exerting too much force, and the scene was very lively.
Liu Binghai's powerful Vajra Hand almost bent the opponent's fat and greasy fist.
Just so-so... she thought.
She kicked down the winning ticket guiltily.
In this case, there is no need to rent a cow, just come here to gamble every year.
The other party was so angry that he wanted to gamble with her again, and even suspected that she had some secrets in her hand.
Liu Binghai spread out his hands, empty-handed.
The fat man snorted and competed with her again.
She won again.
The win wasn't a happy one, because his hands were too big and she had trouble holding them.
The man was not convinced and played another game. This time Liu Binghai bet less money and learned her lesson. She lost the game screaming and howling, and only then did the man let her go.
This stall was even more lively than the wine stall. It was full of fat and big-eared men or strong men as strong as bulls. They were roaring non-stop and clapping and cheering non-stop.
Ke De was so excited to see that she had won so much money, "Sister, how much did you win?"
Liu Binghai leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I don't know. We'll count them when we get home. What do you want to eat?"
