Chapter 2 The Snow Princess Chooses a Pony

"How, how can it be ......" the leisurely hand trembled faintly.

The picture is bang, and it's all black again, and it doesn't help to let you enter and fiddle with it.

Liu Ming glanced at the lost step, "Do you know her?" ”

Yu leisurely hurriedly grabbed Liu Ming's clothes, "Where was that woman just now?" Which place is that? ”

Liu Ming was so leisurely that half of his clothes were about to be scattered, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, "Look at the dress, it is more open than the national style of Jing, and the woman has a high bun, covers her shoulders with a shirt, and shows her ankles, maybe it is a snow country." ”

"Xu yes?" He asked leisurely, "That means you're not sure?" ”

"With only one glance and no markings, I can guess a thing or two from it." Liu Ming glared at Bu Youran and snatched the bracelet back from her hand.

Bu leisurely glanced at the already empty palm, and didn't have time to think about it, and asked, "Snow country is snow country, is it far from here?" ”

"I'm afraid it's more than 6,000 kilometers away from us." Liu Ming estimated and said.

"More than 6,000 kilometers or kilometers?" Youran almost rolled her eyes.

More than 6,000 kilometers, what is this concept? If you walk, it will take nearly three months, and if you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take a month, but unfortunately there are no trains or planes in this era......

"Snow Country is the only country that does not suppress business policies, the economy is prosperous, the land area is twice as large as Jingguo, and it has always dared not have a small country to invade, its soldiers and horses are absolutely unimaginable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, mainly planting, not only do not pay taxes, but the state also gives subsidies to the people." Liu Ming recounted, "It can be said that the people of any country are envious. ”

"So, the Snow Country is the most powerful of all the nations?" After listening to Liu Ming's narration, Bu leisurely guessed.

"So to speak." Liu Ming shook his head.

"If we leave for there now, would it be realistic?" After all, the journey is too far away, and besides, they have only walked a hundred miles in the past two days, and the road is so difficult and bumpy, who knows what will happen later?

Liu Ming's eyes darkened suddenly, "Then you tell me first, who is docking time and space." ”

"So far, I'm not sure."

"You're lying to me again?" Liu Ming pulled out his voice again.

Bu Youran hurriedly explained, "I didn't lie to you this time, you also saw the picture just now, and there are only two women on the screen." ”

Liu Ming looked at Lu Youran intently, as if he was judging, and after a long time, he said, "Leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

……

This night, Yu Youran slept extremely unsteadily, and in his dream, he saw Chu Jinyu's handsome face again, as if he was by her side, he looked at her and said with a smile, "Beloved wife, it's not good again...... slender fingers stroked Bu Youran's cheeks, and in an instant, the cold feeling transmitted made Bu Youran wake up in an instant.

She sat up and saw that it was already dark outside, and her nervous heart slowly calmed down.

Along the way, it seems that as soon as you fall asleep at night, you will see Chu Jinyu in your dreams, so real, even his touch seems to be real.

Sometimes she wondered, if she hadn't walked to the person who sold sugar gourds that day, if she had walked between Chu Jinyu's gaze, how would this qiē evolve?

Yes, Bu Youran is a little ashamed.

Especially every day, when she took out the silver bag in her arms, she thought of Chu Jinyu's entrustment that day, and maybe he had a premonition that she would choose to escape like this.

But I don't know what his mood was at that time?

Bu Youran couldn't help but sigh, stepped off the bed, poured a glass of water, and drank it.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Bu replied leisurely, "Right away." ”

She got dressed and walked out.

Liu Ming looked at Xiang Bu leisurely, saw the sweat on her forehead, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Bu leisurely shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't rested well." ”

Liu Ming nodded, and just as he was about to go down the stairs, he turned his head and asked, "You won't dream of that dead man again, will you?" ”

As soon as Bu Youran heard the word 'dead man', her body couldn't help but feel cold, and she said angrily, "Who said he was dead?" Shut your crow's mouth! ”

Liu Ming couldn't help but tease, "I think you must be haunted by evil ghosts, so I advise you to burn paper for him and recite scriptures." ”

Without waiting for a leisurely bombardment again, Liu Ming had already quickly gone downstairs.

Bu leisurely sorted out the package and walked out.

"Chiyo-ma-ma, they're gone?" Bu Youran saw that the lobby was empty and asked.

"Looks like so." Liu Ming replied, "They also have a carriage for you and me. ”

"Carriage?" Bu Youran heard Liu Ming say this, and hurriedly walked out, and sure enough, at the door, he saw a seemingly ordinary carriage, with two horses tied in front, and the horse's mane was smooth and bright, and the legs were long and strong, which was much stronger than the horse that Bu Youran rode like a little donkey before.

Bu Youran was ecstatic, "How did they know that you and I were in need of a carriage?" ”

Liu Ming snorted coldly, "It seems that they know where you and I'm going." ”

Bu leisurely lifted the curtain of the car and looked up and down in the car, although it was not as comfortable as Chu Jinyu's car, but for such harsh conditions, it was already quite good, and a large package of dry food was specially made for the two of them in the car.

The two of them began to hit the road, and the two such sturdy horses ran like a galloping electric brake, and it was said that the horses could travel thousands of miles a day, perhaps the ancients said a little exaggerated, but this speed did give way to leisurely and felt amazed.

Along the way, the two almost never stopped, only when they were thirsty on the road, they found a nearby inn to take away a pot of tea, and as Chiyo's mother-in-law said, almost all of them were martial arts people waiting for "step girls" along the way, among which there were many famous martial arts doctors, asking about the physical condition of the two.

Until the time when it was almost out of the scenery country, the last inn

At the time of the land, the last inn handed Bu Youran a new money bag, and told that it contained the snow country general coins and silver tickets, Bu Youran opened it and saw that there were as many as 10,000 taels, and the key was that there were two people's identity certificates in the snow country.

Liu Ming categorically refused, but she couldn't resist the leisurely dog-legged nature, she bowed down and smiled flatteringly and thanked the martial arts person for such a caring act.

At the border of the Jingguo boundary monument, many more homeless people wandered here, they were ragged, presumably from all directions of Jingguo, like Bu Ran, who wanted to cross this border and go to the rich and warless snow country.

However, the guards are ruthless, and these homeless people have no identity, and they can only sigh when faced with the snowy border one step away.

Bu Youran and Liu Ming passed through the gò to check, and when the carriage passed by the boundary monument of Jingguo, and saw the hundreds of homeless people as if they were hungry and envious, Bu Youran's mood was strange.

Liu Ming saw Bu Youran's sad expression, and sneered, "If that traitor doesn't die, there will be more and more of these homeless people, so you can imagine how much the people of the whole country yearn for his death." ”

Bu leisurely pursed his lips and did not speak.

……

The snow country has a wide territory, and after they entered the snow country border, they actually walked for nearly three days before they saw the traces of the smoke curling from the house.

Bu leisurely pulled Liu Ming's arm, "I can finally eat a good meal in a down-to-earth manner." ”

Liu Ming didn't refute, but just drove the carriage to the rare house.

Bu leisurely jumped out of the carriage, looked at the small courtyard of the farmhouse, surrounded by a courtyard wall surrounded by a fence, not high, only half the height of Bu leisurely, the courtyard door was half open, she called twice from the door, no one answered, and walked in again, just about to knock on the door, did not think that as soon as he touched it, the door was gently pushed open to the inside.

The room was clean and spotless, with a small square table, yellow elm chairs, a farm sickle hanging from the wall, and a large-brimmed hat.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from the back room.

Bu Youran was startled, afraid that the old man would misunderstand, so he hurriedly replied, "Auntie, hello, I was passing by here, and when I saw that your door was half open, I came in, I was sorry for the disturbance." ”

The curtain in the back room was lifted, and an old man with a turban and a cane walked out, her steps moved slowly, but her smile was kind and dignified, her eyes carefully looked at Bu Youran and Liu Ming, and said with a smile, "You are not locals?" ”

Bu Youran didn't dare to hide it, and said frankly, "We are from Jingguo." ”

The old man nodded and walked back to the back room.

Bu Youran and Liu Ming glanced at each other, at a loss.

After a while, the old man walked out again, but there was an extra teapot in his hand, and he hurriedly stepped forward to answer, the old man said, "My wife is eighty-nine this year, and her eyesight is not good, so you can pour tea by yourself, it doesn't matter, it's like your own home." ”

Bu Youran was very surprised, "Mother-in-law is eighty-nine this year?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded.

"I'm afraid the longest-lived person in Jingguo is only more than sixty." Liu Ming sneered.

Bu Youran knew that he was knocking on the side and saying that Chu Jinyu was to blame for all this, so she didn't answer, and asked the old man again, "You live alone?" ”

Before the old man could reply, he walked back from outside a big man with a bare back, he put down his hoe, poured water in the yard and washed the dirt on his upper body, wiping it while shouting, "Mother, I'm back." ”

After speaking, he walked in, and Dahan saw Bu Youran and Liu Ming, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The old man explained, "These two have come from afar, Shanzi, you go and prepare some food for their husband and wife, you must be hungry all the way." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Step leisurely and gratefully.

Dahan didn't refute either, and it seemed that he was also very accustomed to having distant visitors come every day.

After waiting for a while, Dahan had already fried two hot dishes and brought them to the square table in the room.

The eldest lady watched the two of them eat, and asked, "Are you here to participate in the palace feast?" ”

Step leisurely raised his head, "Feast?" What feast? ”

"The princess chooses a horse, and anyone who meets the conditions can participate." The old man's son explained, "This son is good-looking, and his figure is not much different from the requirements of this list, which should be in line with it." ”

"Him?" Bu leisurely turned his head to look at Liu Ming, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Liu Ming glared back at her.

The old man's eyes wandered on the two, and he couldn't help but glance at the big man complainingly, "My son Han, I didn't see that the two were husband and wife, but I made you laugh." ”

Bu Youran still smiled, "No, auntie, what this eldest brother said is not wrong." ”

The old man and the big man were confused by Bu Youran's words, and they wondered what kind of relationship the two had in their hearts?

After eating leisurely, he stood up, took out some silver from his money bag and handed it to the old man, who touched it with his hand and immediately refused, "Girl, we didn't receive you two to make money, if you insist, it will only embarrass us." ”

Bu Youran and Liu Ming glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves, but felt that they were too much

Before leaving, Bu Youyou suddenly thought of that picture, so he asked, "Auntie, do you know if the local women here wear short shirts and long skirts?" ”

"Wrap over the chest?" Brother Shanzi frowned and thought deeply, "You have to say that you are a woman in the palace, right?" ”

"The palace people are dressed like this?" Bu leisurely said in surprise.

Shanzi shook his head, "I'm not sure, I only saw the princess driving through the street once, and there were indeed women dressed like this around." ”

"That's right." Bu Youran remembered that the picture was also in a palatial house, presumably not an ordinary eunuch's house, and now it is very reasonable to explain that it is the palace.

In this way, Bu leisurely said goodbye to the eldest mother's family and went to the imperial capital with Liu Ming.

Snow Country is located in the center of the boundary, all to the south or north have to pass through the Snow Country, where the climate is normal temperature all year round, rich in products, to the east by the sea, with the largest ferry, all foreign merchant ships must pass through here, pay the ferry tax, not only that, but also have a series of the most specific and largest salt production, seafood industry chain, and these have become the largest exporters of all countries.

Bu leisurely sat in the carriage, and hardly saw a beggar, it seemed that every common man was very busy, and there was no idle and idle person.

They were very lucky, at the inn where they were resting, they happened to meet a business trip to the imperial capital, and Bu Youran and Liu Ming joined the team and joined them.

It wasn't until ten days later that they finally entered the imperial capital.

Boss Li of this business trip said to Bu leisurely, "Miss Bu, I don't know what you and your husband will do next?" ”

Bu Youran and Liu Ming glanced at each other, but they were not prepared in their hearts, although they knew that the destination was the palace, but after all, that kind of place was not a place to enter casually.

Boss Li smiled, "I see that the girl seems to understand English, and I really need a translator like you in my caravan, if you don't make arrangements, can you accompany us to the palace?" ”

"Into the palace?"

"Into the palace?"

Liu Ming and Bu Youran almost spoke in unison, they couldn't believe that happiness would come so suddenly.

"Girl embarrassed?" Boss Li thought that Bu Youran was not happy, so he was so surprised.

Bu Youran hurriedly explained, "No, that's not what I meant, I mean ......" she smiled, "It's glad!" ”
