When the carriage was ready, Du Pian Hong and the rest began their journey. Along the way, he saw green mountains and red trees everywhere. After about an hour and a half, the carriage arrived outside the city gates of Jingdou.
Du Pian Hong lifted the curtain of the carriage, his eyes staring at Jingdou's magnificent city gates. The vermilion city gate was like a sturdy prison gate, locking up the capital's dreams, the capital's past…
At that time, she had secretly vowed that she would never step into that place again. But now, the oath was no longer there, and he had no choice. In the end, she was still reduced to the point where she was teased by fate!
Du Youlong leaped down from the carriage and appeared in front of the guards outside the city gate. He lowered his body slightly and opened his mouth to whisper a few words to the guard. Probably because he was too far away, Du Penhong could not hear him clearly. She just sat in the carriage and stuck her head out of the window, looking at the vast world of Jingdou through the small window.
When Du Youlong returned to the carriage, Du Penhong asked curiously,""Big brother, what did you say to that guard just now? Seeing the guard's pale face, you must be threatening him again.”
Du Youlong first found a corner to sit down, and as soon as he sat down, he was suddenly asked by Du Pianhong. He instantly perked up and replied,""This is a secret order. You can't casually say it to unrelated people!”
Secret order? But he had never heard Du Youlong mention it before!
Du Shanhong looked at his elder brother suspiciously, wondering what this secret order was about.
She only knew that his elder brother was the Great General responsible for guarding the northern territory of the Great Tang Dynasty. Without the command personally passed down by His Majesty, he was not allowed to leave the place he was guarding. And now that Big Brother had left Qiao Shan's garrison, it could be seen that this "secret order" must be no small matter!
What kind of secret order could make her brother move?
Du Penhong wanted to continue asking, but when she saw that Du Youlong did not want to elaborate, she could only bury the thousands of questions in her heart.
After that, the carriage drove into the city and was forced to stay on a small road in the city due to the crowd. Jingdou was different from outside the city. The roads outside the city were wide, and there were not many people coming and going. On the other hand, it was the opposite in the city. The streets were small and crowded. The key was that there were crowds everywhere, and it was often crowded. As there were people everywhere, the air was naturally mixed with some strange smells. There was the stench of sweat, the fishy smell, and a rich fragrance…All these smells combined were enough to make Du Youlong faint.
Du Youlong pinched his nose and pursed his lips tightly, trying his best to hold his breath. His other hand was also fanning the air, trying to disperse the strange smell in the air.
Du Shanhong shook his head helplessly, thinking that his big brother was really sensitive to smells. Then, she jumped off the carriage and planned to walk home. She didn't intend to stay in the carriage forever, so she left with Xiao Jiu and Huaiyu.
"Little sister! How can you leave first! " You…" Du Youlong tried to stop his little sister and said anxiously. However, just as his feet took a step out, the tip of his nose was quickly filled with the disgusting smell of the outside world. So he could only give up and continue to curl up in the corner of the carriage. He glared at Du Pianhong with a resentful gaze, clearly filled with hatred!
Du Penhong only smugly received the resentful gaze from Du Youlong, then patted his butt and slipped away. She brought Xiao Jiu and Huaiyu along the way to stroll around. When they saw interesting and delicious stalls, they would stop and patronize them.
"Beautiful sister, this sugar figurine is so beautiful.”Xiao Jiu walked to a stall selling candy and clapped happily.
Du Pian Hong looked at Xiao Jiu's smiling face in a daze and felt his heart fill with warmth.
It was as if she had never seen Xiao Jiu reveal such an innocent and cute smile since she saved Xiao Jiu!
Du Pian Hong was so happy that he took out a tael of silver and said,"Boss, I want all the sugar figurines here. Here, this is for you." After saying that, he threw down the tael of silver and walked in front of Xiao Jiu with all the sugar figurines. He reached out and gave them to Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu's face was blank at first, and its eyes were fixed on the sugar figurine.
"Don't you want it?" Du Pianhong pretended to throw away the sugar figurines, and his tone deliberately became stiff." If Little Jiu doesn't want them, I'll throw away these sugar figurines!”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, it hugged the bunch of sugar figures nervously and looked at Du Penhong with a wary face." No, throw it away! Xiao Jiu, I like it." He kept shaking his head. He was even a little afraid that Du Pian Hong would abandon these sugar figures, so he kept distancing himself from Du Pian Hong.
Du Pian Hong only thought about it gloomily, thinking that Xiao Jiu had never been so distant from her like today. Usually, he would stick to her like a sticky candy and would always be her most obedient little brother. However, he had distanced himself from her today because of those sugar figures, and even had a little resistance in his attitude.
This made her feel a little unnatural.
"Sister won't throw away these sugar figures. Don't worry, Xiao Jiu.”Du Pianhong had no choice but to soften his tone and comfort her. She felt like she was taming a small beast. She had to be patient and careful.
Xiao Jiu nodded obediently before grinning. Her star-like eyes were narrowed into crescents. He ran and jumped happily, holding a sugar figurine in his hand and shouting loudly,"Twenty-three, sweet melon sticky, twenty-four, house-cleaning day; At the age of twenty-five, the ground millet was pushed out, and at the age of twenty-six, the hanging meat was removed. Twenty-seven, slaughter a chicken; Twenty-eight, put the face to the hair; On the twenty-ninth day of the month, the head of the fish was steamed. On the thirtieth night, he stayed overnight and twisted on the first day of the New Year.”
After that, he kept repeating this sentence.
Wherever his body went, his voice would be heard.
Du Penhong followed behind Xiao Jiu silently, muttering the song as well.
She felt that this ballad was very familiar, as if she had sung it before.
When and where?
