Journey To the World of Film and Television

  Chapter 644 is just stubborn

  When the three of them came to the city, it happened to be in time for a temple fair to be held in the town. There were stilt walkers, lion dancers, dragon dancers, yangko performers, jugglers, and all kinds of small vendors. It was very lively.

The first time Xiaoyu left Wanku Mountain, she was like a kite that was unthreaded, looking here and there with a face of novelty, and every time she was a few steps behind the two of them, she hurried to catch up, and then was dazzled by the novelty that did not exist in the mountain. Eyes, unknowingly being left behind again.

  Passing by a juggling booth, Xiaoyu went a long way and still looked back, until there were too many pedestrians on the road, and she couldn't see it, so she reluctantly looked away.

   Turning his eyes, he found Zhou Ji and Yang Chan waiting for her not far away, Xiaoyu chased after her bouncingly, his eyes lit up and said: "So there are so many people outside?"

   "This one is called a temple fair, how about it? Is it lively?" Zhou Ji said with a smile.

   "Mmmmmm~" Xiaoyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

  A hawker selling candied haws walked towards him, wrapped in sugar, and the crystal clear candied haws came into view from the corner of his eyes, Xiaoyu was immediately attracted by the candied haws filled with straw sticks.

  Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe, sniffed the sweet scent, and stared intently at the candied haws.

  Zhou Ji noticed Xiaoyu's staring eyes, and with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he gestured to Yang Chan and walked towards the vendor.

   "A seller of candied haws."

   "Come here~" When the business arrived, the peddler said with a smile on his face, "Master, do you want to buy candied haws? They are all freshly picked hawthorns."

   Zhou Ji interrupted the peddler, took out a piece of gold leaf from his sleeve and handed it out, smiling: "No need to look for it, I want it all."

  The peddler saw the gold leaf grinning from ear to ear, and handed the straw stick to Zhou Ji. Afraid that the other party would repent, he stepped back with a smile, and went home with the gold leaf to announce the good news.

   "Brother Zhou, why did you buy so much?"

  Yang Chan thought that Zhou Ji was going to buy a bunch of candied haws for Xiaoyu, but unexpectedly he came over with the whole straw stick.

  Zhou Jiman said indifferently: "It's okay, you can put it away if you can't finish it. I know a little girl who loves candied haws. Next time I see her, maybe I can bribe her and let her deduce the secret for me."

  Little girl? Where is the little girl from? Why haven't I heard Brother Zhou mention it?

  Yang Chan blinked thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiaoyu next to him didn't think so much. He stared at the red candied haws, let out a "wow~" with his eyes shining, and walked around Zhou Ji, temporarily letting go of his anger with Uncle Zhou, and said with a strange face: "It's so beautiful~ what is this for?"

   "Of course it's for eating." Zhou Ji pulled out a bunch of candied haws and handed it to Xiaoyu.

   "Huh? Is this edible?" Xiaoyu took the candied haws, looked at the hawthorn covered with crystal clear sugar coating, and sniffed it close to her nose.

   "Of course you can eat it." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "I just saw you staring at other people's candied haws, and I bought it specially for you. Come and taste it~"

  Xiaoyu took a bite out of the skeptical Xiaoxiao, and the sweet and sour hawthorn was wrapped in the sweet icing, which made her eyes shine.

  Zhou Ji smiled and pulled out another string, stuffed it into Xiaoyu's other hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "You need to have one in each hand, bite one on the left and eat the other on the right. This is the dream of countless people when they were young."

  After Zhou Ji finished speaking, he pulled out another string, and waved it in front of Yang Chan's eyes, "What are you thinking~ Well, this is yours."

  Yang Chan came to his senses, subconsciously wanted to pick it up but put his hand down: "Since the candied haws bought by Brother Zhou has other uses, let's keep it for the little girl who loves candied haws."

   "Hiss~ so sour~~"

  Xiaoyu's inhalation sound suddenly sounded, Yang Chan's pretty face blushed, and she turned her head to look at her. When she turned her head, the sugar-coated candied haws had stretched out from the side and touched her mouth.

   "Oh, why are you thinking so much? She is not in this world, and she may never meet again in the future."

  Zhou Ji answered Yang Chan angrily, and at the end, his eyes unconsciously rested on Yang Chan's slightly opened red lips, touching the slender and transparent candied strands of candied haws.

"sorry"

"sorry"

  Two apologies sounded at the same time. Xiaoyu held a bunch of candied haws in one hand and stood between Zhou Ji and Yang Chan.

   "Oh~ sweet~~"

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten candied haws for many years~" Zhou Ji coughed lightly to break the charming atmosphere, pulled out a new bunch of candied haws, put the straw sticks in the square map, and touched Yang Chan's lips just now. The one that was handed to her.

  Yang Chan didn't refuse this time, but took the candied haws silently, held it in her hand, and blamed herself for bringing up Brother Zhou's 'sadness'.

  The three of them were walking in the bustling market with candied haws. Xiaoyu was bouncing between Yang Chan and Zhou Ji with a bunch of candied haws in his hand, as if he had become a microcosm of the bustling market.

   Candied haws are quite satisfying to eat. After all, there are sugar and fruit, but after eating, you will get hungry even faster.

  However, there are not many other things in places like temple fairs, but there are everything that sells snacks.

Zhou Ji took Xiaoyu and Yang Chan to eat all the way. Yang Chan felt helpless when she saw Zhou Ji buying everything with gold beans and gold leaves. She quickly stopped him from throwing money and took out some copper coins and pieces Silver payment.

   At dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

  Xiaoyu went to the Earth Temple today and ate a lot of delicious food. She was a little tired after playing all day.

  So the three of them found an inn in the town to stay.

Hearing that Zhou Ji asked the innkeeper for three first-class rooms, Yang Chan turned around and glanced at Xiaoyu who was full of novelty as soon as she entered the shop. Xiaoyu, who was looking around, interrupted, "Brother Zhou, why don't you ask for two rooms? Yu'er It’s the first time I go down the mountain, let her live with me, so I can take care of her at night.”

  Zhou Ji thought for a while, and it was indeed the truth, and said with a smile: "The third girl is still thoughtful."

   "I can sleep alone!"

  Xiaoyu pursed her mouth and left an environment, like a child eager to prove that she has grown up, stubbornly raised her chin, but her eyes looked a little guilty.

   After all, she has always slept with her mother on the mountain, and never dared to sleep alone.

   Zhou Ji saw that Xiaoyu was angry, couldn't help laughing, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Then ask for three upper rooms next to each other."

  The three upper rooms are located on the second floor of the inn. Xiaoer heard the shopkeeper's order and moved new bedding for them.

  Zhou Ji looked around, the inns in the town were naturally not as good as the conditions in the capital, but the environment was not bad, at least clean and tidy.

   Turning his eyes to look at Xiaoyu who was inspecting the room with his hands behind his back, he said, "It's too late to regret it~ Are you sure you want to live alone?"

Zhou Ji had teased Xiaoyu so many times, but Xiaoyu didn't want Uncle Zhou to underestimate her, so she bit the bullet and showed a satisfied expression, pretending to be indifferent: "Of course~ don't underestimate me! As early as five hundred Years ago, I slept alone."

  Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Xiaoer who changed the bedding couldn't help laughing.

   Five hundred years ago?

  Look at her, she is a little girl, she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she doesn't blink her eyes when she speaks big words.

   "Tsk tsk tsk, look at your whole body, you only have a hard mouth, right?" Zhou Ji curled his lips and said disdainfully.

   "Okay, you all don't say a few words." Yang Chan cast a reproachful glance at Zhou Ji, seemingly persuading a fight, but in fact she unabashedly favored Xiaoyu.

   "Just take the changed quilt away, you can get off first." Yang Chan signaled Xiao Er to back down, and walked to the side of the bed to spread out the quilt for Xiao Yu.

   "Sister Yang, no need, I can do it myself." Xiaoyu stepped forward to help sensiblely, and did not forget to turn her head and make a face at Zhou Ji.

  Zhou Ji was too lazy to argue with this girl, so he informed Yang Chan and went to his own room next door.

  Xiaoyu's self-confidence faltered quickly the moment Sister Yang left the room.

  The night gradually deepened, and the town, which had been noisy all day, finally returned to tranquility.

   There was a creaking sound of the door opening from the next door.

   Zhou Ji, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes slowly. Through the dark room and the closed door, he seemed to see Xiaoyu holding a pillow in his arms and wrapped in a quilt, tremblingly knocking on the door next door.

  Vaguely heard the door opening and Yang Chan's surprised voice.

  The corner of Zhou Ji's mouth raised a slight arc unconsciously, then slowly closed his eyes, and continued to adjust his breath until dawn.

The morning sun illuminates the room through the window paper, and the originally quiet street gradually heard sparse sounds. Some people peddled cooking cakes along the street at dawn, and some passed the street in a carriage. After Ji washed up, he called Xiao Er to help buy some breakfast pastries, made a pot of morning tea and sat in the lobby waiting for the two to go downstairs.

  Yah~

  Hearing the door ring last night, Zhou Ji heard who it was from the footsteps coming down the stairs without looking back.

  The familiar elegant fragrance wafted from behind, Zhou Ji took out the breakfast bought by Xiao Er from the food box, and motioned Yang Chan to sit down, "Is Yu'er still sleeping?"

Yang Chan first helped Zhou Ji prepare the porridge and side dishes, and sat down next to him, "She grew up in Wanku Mountain, and Miss Fox was strict with her. It was the first time I went down the mountain to see so many people and such a lively gathering." City, I may be tired from running so far yesterday."

  Zhou Ji picked up a pastry and threw it into his mouth.

  Yang Chan picked up the pastry and tried a bite, then chose porridge.

While speaking, Yang Chan's room door quietly opened a gap, and a small head sneaked a look out, as if he had done something wrong, while looking nervously at Zhou Ji's room, tiptoeing around Holding the pillow and quilt, he touched his room.

   "Yu'er, come down to eat something after washing up?"

  Suddenly, Zhou Ji's voice came from downstairs.

  Xiaoyu was so frightened that she almost failed to hug the quilt in her hand. She looked downstairs and saw Yang Chan and Zhou Ji sitting in the lobby waiting for her, and returned to her room dejectedly.

after awhile.

  After tidying up her clothes, Xiaoyu walked down the stairs, stretched her waist, and sat next to Zhou Ji as if nothing had happened.

   Afraid that Zhou Ji would laugh at her for not daring to sleep alone, Xiaoyu asked eagerly without waiting for the two of them to open their mouths: "Uncle Zhou, Sister Yang, where shall we go to play today?"

  Yang Chan smiled and said, "I haven't been back to Mount Hua for so long, so don't worry if it's a few days later. I heard that some people will put river lanterns by the river at the temple fair recently. Why don't we go to the river today?"

   "What is a river lantern?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

After getting along with Xiaoyu for a long time, Yang Chan's heart seems to have regained her missing childhood innocence, and she gestured with a smile: "It's a lamp floating in the water. You can write your wishes in the lamp, or you can release the river lamp to pray silently. .”

  Xiaoyu became more and more curious the more she listened, Zhou Ji knew in her heart that after Yang Chan returned to Huashan, she would not know when she would come out next time, so she nodded and said, "Then follow Miss San."

  The green grass on the shore is soft, the willows are swaying, and the spring water is rippling. In the distance, there are little yellow ducks floating with their mother ducks playing happily.

  Generally, the river lanterns are released until dusk or night. When Zhou Ji and Yang Chan Xiaoyu came to the river to play, although there were some pedestrians and vendors, there were no river lanterns on the water.

  While they were walking along the riverside street, there was a sudden shouting in the distance.

   "Hey~ I got into a fight, I got into a fight~~"

  Pedestrians gathered around to join in the fun, and Xiaoyu followed with a curious look on her face.

When she got closer, she saw a middle-aged woman in the crowd, pulling a young woman's hair, fighting together, cursing while beating: "Sexy fox who seduces other people's husbands, I will kill you and tear you to pieces!" vixen."

  Xiaoyu saw that her family members were being beaten, she immediately showed a look of unbearable, and was about to step forward to help but was blocked by Zhou Ji.

   "What are you doing?"

  Xiaoyu glared at the middle-aged woman angrily and said, "She bullies my fellow clan."

   "Your family?" Zhou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he understood when he heard the middle-aged woman scolding, and explained: "That young woman is not a real vixen."

  Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Since she is not a vixen, why does that woman still call her a vixen?"

   "This" is based on Xiaoyu's personality. If you tell her directly that vixen is a **** for dishonest women, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but think about it.

  Zhou Ji turned to ask, "Has Xiaoyu heard of Daji?"

  Xiaoyu shook her head.

  Zhou Ji used the excuse of Daji to charm King Zhou and murder his original wife, Empress Jiang, to explain to Xiaoyu roughly why that man called the young woman a vixen.

  Xiaoyu was a little aggrieved and filled with righteous indignation: "Not all vixens are Daji, how can she say that?"

   After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the crowd. Zhou Ji sighed softly, turned to look at Yang Chan next to her, the two looked at each other, and followed.

   "Shut up~!"

   Just as the middle-aged woman insulted the young woman as a vixen again, Xiaoyu pushed her way out of the crowd and stopped her.

  The middle-aged woman was in a fit of anger. When she saw that Xiaoyu wouldn't let her curse, she said anxiously, "Why do you tell me to shut up? What's your relationship? Do you know this vixen?"

  Xiaoyu said seriously: "She is not a vixen! Not all vixens in the world are bad, so you can't call her a vixen!"
