Chapter 219 Small Matters on the Night Street
"Is it too late for me to send a message to my parents now?" she shouted as she paced along the street, giving herself a terrible idea.
After thinking for a long time, he just looked dejected and muttered to himself:
"Forget it, it's too late, and I can't find anyone I know who can help me..." It was clear that Ning Linlan really wanted to continue having fun in the city.
Lin Chunyi could only comfort her: "Our home is too far from the county town. After we come out and go home, we have to wait until the weather gets warmer before we can go down the mountain."
So besides having fun, we also need to buy a lot of things to take back, and one day isn't enough time, which is why we plan to stay here.
Next time, tell Uncle Ning and Aunt Su in advance so we can go to the night market together again.
"Okay~" Ning Linlan felt comforted.
Lin Lanshan patted Ning Linlan on the shoulder and said solemnly, "It's okay, Sister Ning, we'll take your share and continue shopping!"
"..." Ning Linlan was hurt.
Lin Chunyi slapped her younger sister's head, "We're so pressed for time, what's the point of shopping? Let's find a place to go to sleep early so we can get up early tomorrow to buy meat."
"Oh~"
Ning Linlan chuckled to herself, "Alright, I'll head back now. Don't stay out too late, it's not safe at night."
The two sisters saw Ning Linlan off at the city gate and watched her get into the oxcart before turning back.
Lin Lanshan's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around and shouted, "Oh no! We forgot to remind her that some of the dishes from the Paradise Inn in the food box might not be available at other restaurants!"
Oh dear, what if her parents found out she'd been to a brothel...
Lin Chunyi gazed at the city gate, where the oxcart was no longer in sight, and said with a pursed lip, "I can only hope that her body can hold on."
Hmm~ It's okay, it's okay. She herself said that she's been beaten since she was a child, so she can definitely take it!
Carrying a box full of food as "evidence" of her visit to the brothel, Ning Linlan, as she boarded the oxcart home, had no idea what kind of mixed doubles she would face once she got back.
After all, her parents, who had lived in the Zhenyang Marquis's mansion since childhood and had seen too many things, could tell at a glance that the dishes she brought home were anything but ordinary...
The two sisters shook their heads, turned around, drove the mule cart back to the night streets of the East Market, found a decent inn, booked a room, and settled the mule cart in.
At the hour of You (5-7 PM), night falls.
Shops and vendors on the streets and alleys have hung up lanterns, and there are more pedestrians now.
The warm yellow candlelight illuminated most of the county town.
"Let's go, we're going to start our big shopping trip!" Lin Chunyi said to her sister, shaking the empty basket on her back.
"Let's go! For a happy, relaxed life this winter, I'm going to fill my basket to the brim!" Lin Lanshan was incredibly excited.
What's the happiest thing about being rich? It's spending money! It's buying things!
The two women, carrying baskets on their backs, began their joyful stroll through the streets.
Two roast geese, please!
I'll buy ten fried dough sticks!
Osmanthus cake, two pounds, please!
Pan-fried lamb intestines, two servings, please!
Candied hawthorn berries...uh, no! I still have over a dozen at home that I haven't eaten yet.
They strolled slowly through the bustling East Market Night Street, stopping to pay every few steps.
"Sis, what's that? Let's go take a look!" Lin Lanshan's eyes were never idle, and she spotted something new again.
In a large open space, a large group of people were gathered in a circle watching some kind of performance; all they could see was the flickering light of fire.
The two tried to squeeze in, just like in the TV series, but were stopped by two baskets that were half their height, and couldn't get in at all.
Lin Lanshan stretched her neck and jumped around a few times, shaking the food in the basket all over the place before she could see what was inside.
"Sis, did you see that? It's a monkey! A monkey is jumping through a ring of fire!"
“You ignorant country bumpkins, these are monkeys.” A tall man next to them gave them a disdainful look.
In her excitement, Lin Lanshan forgot that monkeys at this time were not yet called monkeys.
However, it still makes me uncomfortable to be told that.
She stood with her hands on her hips and retorted loudly, "You think you're so knowledgeable? You even have to wear red and green together? I think you're utterly ridiculous! Humph!"
After saying that, he shook his head triumphantly at him, then pulled his sister and ran off to the other side.
When you're having such a good time, you shouldn't waste time arguing with people over trivial matters. Just let it all out and move on!
Sure enough, the flashy-dressed man instantly became furious, pointed at their backs, and took a few steps to chase after them and start yelling at them.
However, there were too many people around, and the two had slipped away so quickly that they had long since disappeared. He could only swallow his anger, muttering to himself, "Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with."
They ran halfway around to the other side, continuing to look for a spot, hopping on their legs to see.
After all, at 1.7 meters tall, he's really not tall enough in a place where the staple food is noodles.
Two short-tailed, gray-brown monkeys, at their owner's command, nimbly leaped across the ring of fire to the other side.
This immediately drew shouts and applause from the surrounding crowd.
The two sisters had finally found a spot and were engrossed in watching when Lin Chunyi heard a rustling sound behind her.
She paused, turned her head with a cold look, and saw that shameless person reaching into her basket.
"Auntie, what are you looking for? Did your thieving hand fall into my basket and I can't find it? Do you want me to help you look for it?"
The middle-aged woman in the brown dress was surprised to be discovered so quickly. Her face stiffened, and she quickly withdrew her hand, pretending that she had done nothing.
And then she immediately started to turn the tables: "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat! I think you've gone crazy from poverty. Who rummaged through your things! You think there's gold in that broken bamboo basket?"
Unreasonable but with a strong presence.
Her voice was so loud that many people watching the performance nearby turned their heads in curiosity.
Facing the gazes of many people from all directions, the two sisters felt even more like monkeys than the monkeys jumping through hoops!
He almost couldn't contain his rage and wanted to teach this woman a lesson.
Hold it in! There are no security cameras or evidence. If they start swearing or hitting us now, they'll be in the wrong!
Lin Lanshan suddenly tugged at her sister's sleeve, pointing her to the woman's neckline.
Lin Chunyi immediately understood, and feigning sadness and apology, said to the woman:
"Auntie, I'm so sorry! We just realized that our purse containing silver is missing, and you were less than half a meter away from us. We were in a hurry and that's why we misunderstood you."
"Sister, where did our money go? Did we accidentally drop it somewhere?" Lin Lanshan asked, her head bowed as she searched everywhere, her voice trembling with tears.
Where there are gossipy masses, there are also enthusiastic county residents.
A kind-hearted young woman said, "What do your purses look like? Let me help you look for them."
Lin Chunyi recalled, "It was blue, embroidered with hibiscus flowers..." After she finished speaking, the two looked at her with gratitude and thanked her repeatedly.
The middle-aged woman was initially smug, thinking they were showing weakness. But after hearing their description of the purse, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
An elderly woman, always eager for drama, pointed at the middle-aged woman's collar and shouted, "Hey, look, isn't that purse she's carrying...?"
