After eating, they waited for a long time. The shopkeeper didn't look too good, so he ordered a jar of wine and drank slowly. It was already past noon, and there were fewer people in the hotel. I was getting impatient when the door suddenly became lively. I got up and paid for the food and wine. Fortunately, I asked for more amber gold from Phoenix before I left. That guy took a long time to give me half a handful.
I went out and grabbed Xantos. The little wimp fed me until I was full. He kept kicking and kicking me until I was covered in dust. I grabbed his ear and shouted,"Behave yourself!"
Xantos bowed his head at me." Didn't Achilles tell you to wait for him?”
My face turned red and I said righteously,"He told me to wait, so I waited. I'm not a fool.”
Xantos glared at me with his horse eyes. He was as intimidating as Achilles. Fortunately, it was a horse. He couldn't do anything to me. He snorted coldly." Don't think that I can't do anything to you. Be careful that I don't tell Achilles your secret."”
I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Xantos had the ability to predict my past! A chill ran down his spine as he shivered. Do you think I'm really easy to bully? Even a horse climbed on my head and tyrannized me. He said," Secret, secret, what secret? What secret do I have?”He lacked confidence.
Xantos looked at me enigmatically. I suddenly remembered that Pierre once told me that there were two kinds of smiles in the history of Western art. One was the Mona Lisa's smile, the eternal smile, and the other was the Sphinx's smile, the unfathomable mysterious smile. The expression on Xantos 'face was very familiar. Look at it carefully.
Ah! I remember now. Every time Austin looks at me, he looks at me the same way. No way, he can tell?
Then, then-
He shook his head. Impossible! Although Austin was smart, he was still a mortal. He wouldn't be so bored as to divine my past. If I really exposed myself, it would be a problem with my usual behavior.
I couldn't help but worry. I held onto Xantos 'hand and walked aimlessly on the street. They squeezed into the crowd and squatted down at the edge of a crowded clearing. People were moving around and clapping loudly, but my head was still dizzy. If I was discovered, would I be killed? What should I do then?
"Little brother, can I ask you for a favor? Little brother?"
I was shocked when I heard a rough voice coming from above. I fell to the ground with my head tilted back. Xantos kicked his legs in protest. He couldn't speak casually in front of ordinary people.
I looked up and saw a muscular man smiling at me, revealing his white teeth. He was wearing Greek tights and a colorful belt. I looked around. The Trojans 'clothes were mainly white and blue, simple and natural. The person in front of me looked rough and forthright. His bronze skin reflected the sunlight, showing his broad mind. I quickly patted my butt and stood up." What's the matter?”
This place was completely surrounded. Looking at the group of people behind the man, they were all dressed in the same color and held props in their hands. Some were wearing ribbons, some were walking on stills, some were breathing fire and drilling into the fire ring. Two monkeys were jumping and bowing in the middle of the venue. Needless to say, they had encountered a performer!
I also grinned at him, thinking that it was fortunate that Achilles had put on makeup for me just now. Otherwise, I would really be afraid to see so many people in front of me. She asked him," What's the matter, Big Brother?"
The man smiled amicably and took out a very thick hemp rope."I want to ask little brother for a favor."
"Sure, sure. How can I help?" I pretended to be magnanimous and patted my chest.
He hesitated for a moment." It might be a little dangerous," he said." But please trust our skills.”
Hearing him say this, I was interested. I handed the horse to his companion, took his hand and walked into the center of the field. I bowed to the audience and said,"Thank you for your care, fellow villagers. This little brother, Ouyang Jichen, has just arrived at your precious land and has come up with a humble plan. If everyone is happy, those who have money can support you, and those who don't can support you.”I imitated the words on TV and finished speaking smugly. I turned to look at the man. He was stunned and asked for the third time,"Big brother, what can I do for you?"
He came back to his senses, shook his shoulders, and saluted the surroundings."This is my little brother, Menos. I'm here for the first time, and I'm going to present my best technique to you all. Please take care of me!"
What the hell was Cloud Dweller? This name is so unfamiliar. Is there such a thing in acrobatics?
So I calmed down and watched him unfurl a thick hemp rope dozens of meters long in the basket. The man lowered his head and whispered to me,"Little brother, don't be afraid. Just hold on to the end of the rope. Leave the rest to us.”
I thought it was quite exciting. I didn't expect to have a day of acrobatics, and it was street acrobatics. Heh, it was too fun.
She hugged her belt and realized that her clothes were too loose. She asked someone to tie it tightly with a rope and turned around to ask him what she wanted to do.
He told me to grab the end of the rope, took a deep breath, and nodded to his companion beside him."Ready, let's begin. Little brother, remember my words. Don't move around later.”
I nodded, seemingly understanding. I even patted his shoulder to comfort him and let him relax. He forced a smile, then squatted down and lowered his lower body. With a muffled growl, he stretched out his hand." Get up!”
My eyes flashed, and the world in front of me changed. My entire person was upside down. I was shocked. The man slowly raised his hand and the rope slowly rose with his movements, getting higher and higher.
Why don't you try saying you're not afraid? I looked at the ground getting further and further away, and my heart couldn't help but feel scared. Brother, don't make a mistake. My life is in your hands, don't joke around.
The people below cheered and clapped. People looked up at me through the sunlight.
The rope that was dozens of meters tall gradually sank into the clouds. I grabbed the rope tightly, and cold sweat dripped down. My body stiffened, and I really didn't dare to move. The shock of falling from the 20th floor wasn't as strong as this. What kind of feeling was this? Excitement stimulated by fear, an abnormal desire to climb higher.
The rope had probably been completely straightened. The air current in the high altitude was slow, and the cool wind whispered in his ears. The rope stopped for a while before swaying down.
The crowd gradually became clearer. I saw that they were all clenching their fists tightly and clenching their teeth as they focused on the sky. When they saw me appear, they all heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed their expressions. Only the man below still had a solemn expression. His face was red and he was sweating profusely. His hands were steadily raised as he slowly directed the rope.
When I was about ten meters above the ground, I exhaled heavily. It was over. Sweat had condensed on my forehead. This acrobatics was not as simple as it looked.
Just as everyone thought that they were about to land successfully, a group of carriages and horses rushed over from behind the crowd. The person in the lead rushed forward. From afar, they could only hear the sound of hooves, but I saw it clearly.
The man below was also anxious. His hand gestures were unstable and he quickly pulled down. However, before he could do so, the broken child riding the horse broke through the crowd and crashed into the man. The people protecting him rolled on the ground. For a moment, it was chaotic and screams kept coming. My body shook violently. When I came back to my senses, I was falling straight down.
"Ah!"
This voice sounded especially unpleasant, reminding me of the first time I died unjustly. Women, hmph! Women! Broken throat!
The burly man was knocked against the wall, vomiting blood and fainting.
A second before I fell to the ground, I was held up by a huge figure with my arms around my waist. After the world spun, the world was filled with the fragrance of flowers, hyacinths, and white petals. I lifted the dust that covered my eyes and saw him. The smoke was hazy. Even after many years, I could still clearly picture that pair of quiet black eyes, the coldness that went deep into the sea, the vastness of the sea, and the immeasurable depth. There was only a serious and meticulous expression on my face.
Perhaps he was like a flower that had no fixed residence from the beginning, destined not to stay.
I'm stunned! F * ck! Was this how a hero saved a damsel in distress? * Am I the useless and thick-skinned one?
Beside them, people were thrown into chaos, dust billowed, horses neighed, chickens flew, dogs jumped, and monkeys chirped and trembled in a corner.
"Polydamus, Darius, capture Polydorus!”With a furious roar, the black-haired man was about to explode. He stood up with a calm and cold expression. He had forgotten that I was still in his arms. The copper armor hurt, and his arm was burning. Hot liquid flowed down. This was not a fall, definitely not. He had been stabbed by his thing!
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who were chasing after him flew out and pinned the perpetrator who turned around to escape to the ground. The black-haired youth struggled and shouted," No, I don't want to leave. I want to join the battle! I want to protect Troy, brother, this is not fair, why did father send me away, no!”
The black cloak with golden edges fell. The man who was hugging me stood up. His body was straight and tall. There was no expression on his face as he said coldly,"Bring him back to the palace. Don't make any more mistakes.”
The two men nodded. One of them bent down and carried the little prince on his shoulder as he stepped into the carriage. The other led Poludoros 'horse and left behind. The remaining attendants and guards split up to comfort the frightened crowd and compensate them for the broken things. They were indeed strict in managing the army. Look at these soldiers' actions and polite words.
"Then, then, I'm sorry. You can put me down now.”I smiled at the person who hugged me. My eyes were misty and to be honest, my head was dizzy.
That person's body shook and he quickly put me down. His expression was cold and didn't change much. I scratched my messy hair in embarrassment and said,"Thank you for saving me. I almost became a meat pie.”After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at him.
He lowered his head and gave a simple bow, saying,"I should be the one saying sorry, sorry.”
I was flattered and quickly reached out to decline, saying,"Don't, don't tell me. Apologize to them. You ruined their business.”
He raised his head and said lightly,"Of course, I have to apologize to them."”
He turned around and apologized to the man with a flat tone.
He was polite, proper, and sincere, but he gave off an invisible pressure.
"Ah, you're injured!" A childish voice rang out from behind me. I turned around and saw a little kid with cute and playful blond hair standing in front of me. His large eyes flickered and emitted a clear light. He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old and was only as tall as my chest. His small hand pointed at my bleeding wrist as if he was avoiding suspicion. He frowned and asked,"Doesn't it hurt?"
I flipped my hand over to take a look. I had already gotten used to getting injured after coming here for a month or two, so it wasn't a big deal. I smiled indifferently and said,"It doesn't hurt. Is there a clinic nearby?"
The little brat tilted his head and knocked on his head. He pouted and shook his head." Mm, I don't know. Brother Wang, do you know?”
The man in the black cloak walked over and took my hand. He frowned because the blood didn't seem to stop. I took the opportunity to size him up. His eyebrows reached his temples, his hair was silky, his facial features were exquisite, his forehead was full, his skin was fair, his eyes were calm, and he revealed an unconcealable wisdom and exquisiteness. His thoughts were meticulous, and his face was righteous. However, his expression was too cold. There were thick calluses on his palms and scars on his neck, the symbol of honor for a soldier.
"Brother Wang, why don't you bring him back to the palace? We have the best doctors.”The child's tender voice was sweet and clear, like the chirping of a warbler. It was cool and comfortable to hear.
I grinned at him and said,"No need, I still have things to do."”
He pouted his cherry-red lips again like a cute little pig and pointed at my face." Your face is so dark.”
I froze, forgetting that Achilles had smeared something on my face. I laughed awkwardly.
The armored man's cold voice rang out." Alright, come back to the palace with us.”
Xantos suddenly raised his hoofs and screamed." Damn kid, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't abandon your master."
So he said," There's really no need. I'm still waiting for my friend. If he can't find me, he'll get lost."”
Seeing that I was determined, the man didn't force me anymore. He turned around and said,"Alright, I'll get Alkeputolemus to take you to the clinic to bandage your wound. I'm really sorry about what happened just now."
"It's nothing." I shook my head and watched as he held the blond child's hand and rode away. When I turned around, the child winked at me and waved his hand."Goodbye, Dopey,"
Confused worm? What did he mean?
The warrior named Arkputolemus walked over and looked at my arm.""Let's go."
That look in his eyes and that expression on his face clearly showed that I, a commoner, am indebted to your prince's concern. Hmph! He looked down on others!
I returned the favor and said coldly,"No need to trouble yourself. I'll go by myself."”
After saying that, he turned around and grabbed Xantos 'hand, rolling his eyes at the man.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at me angrily. He didn't say anything. After all, it was his master's fault.
After walking for a short distance, the acrobatic man caught up with me and stuffed a handful of amber gold into my hands." This, thank you for your help just now.”
I quickly declined." No need. My business is ruined and I didn't do anything. It's not easy for you to do this. I don't lack money. Take it back."
The man refused resolutely. My face sank and I said with a dark expression,"Take it back and I'll make friends with you. Otherwise, I'll treat it as me knowing you for nothing!”
The man's eyes heated up as he stared blankly at me stuffing the gold amber back into my hand. I knew that the status of people in this line of work in ancient Greece was low. They couldn't even be considered as ordinary civilians. They were basically equivalent to slaves.
I patted his shoulder and said," If you're a man, don't be so wishy-washy. It's just a few dollars. I'm leaving. See you again if fate allows it."”He waved his hand and led Xantos away. He heard an urgent voice behind him." What's your name?”
She turned around and smiled at him in the sunlight, saying,""Ouyang Jichen, my name is Ouyang Jichen.”After saying that, he turned around in satisfaction and took a deep breath. Enough, even if only one person knew that I, Ouyang Jichen, had once walked in this world, it was enough!
