Chapter 509 Extra Princess and Shadow 19
An'an also understands now that it doesn't mean that drawing a jewelry style map and selling it casually will definitely make money.
In short, the doorway here is not as simple as she thought the price was clearly marked.
The three of them did not end their martial arts teaching until the sun rose high.
Jing Qi was the most exhausted, but her eyes were very bright. Although the martial arts methods taught by Grandpa Sha were somewhat different from Daxia's traditional martial arts, they were still very powerful.
He clenched his fist. Last time An An was almost pushed down the ice hole by that Rebecca. Afterwards, he kept blaming himself for not being strong enough. If his martial arts were good enough...
The boy's Mu Qiang psychology is causing trouble, and now he especially worships Grandpa Sha:
"Grandpa, if you have nowhere to go, why don't you come back to Daxia with us!"
Grandpa Sha glanced at him, but didn't respond. He only signaled him to practice martial arts with his eyes.
Jing Qi obviously asked this question more than once, which made him wonder why Grandpa Sha was so persistent in wanting to teach him martial arts?
An'an tugged on Grandpa Sha's sleeve, raised her head and asked, "Grandpa, we have an appointment with Jon to go out to play, what do you want to eat, we will bring it to you when you come back."
The old man shook his head lightly, paused, took out a heavy money bag from his arms and handed it to her.
Although he didn't say anything, the meaning is self-evident-buy whatever you want, we have money.
Jing Qi and the two beside him have long been strange, and Jon sighed: "If I can, I also want to be reborn as a girl in my next life."
An'an has this ability, especially to please the elders and adults, and Grandpa Sha, who is dull and unapproachable when chatting, is not immune.
Jing Qi exposed him unceremoniously: "Not every girl is attractive."
Like the gentle Rebecca I met before...that's really annoying.
An An waved her hand and declined. He took out the 10 silver coins he just got and showed off proudly: "This is the money the three of us just earned!"
Grandpa Sha's dull complexion moved, he raised his hand to rub the little girl's head lightly, and then waved his hand.
An An blinked her eyes and stared curiously at the face of the old man in front of her. The messy hair was straightened up, and she put on new clothes. She found that although Grandpa Sha had wrinkles on his face, he was not as old as they had imagined before, and An An felt that Grandpa Sha must have looked very good-looking when he was young.
The three waved goodbye to Grandpa Sha and left the mansion happily. An An shook the purse, "Where shall we go shopping?"
Jon wrapped his padded jacket tightly: "Just follow me."
The three of them went out, William was worried, and still sent the Yamen to follow.
Jing Qi asked: "How long will it take for the caravan you mentioned to arrive?"
"About half a month!
But even if they don't come, it doesn't matter. Although the Maya city is remote, there will still be some caravans passing by in a year. "
Jing Qi only said: "I hope everything goes well."
At first, the reason why he was willing to talk to Jon was because Jon had been hanging out on the streets since he was a child, and he was clever.
Jingqi wants to contact the people in Su Wang's Mansion as soon as possible. Although they have asked Uncle William to send the letter to Lausanne, they can't just point to this road.
It has been more than a month since the letter was sent out. If there is no news after half a month, it means that something went wrong.
They can only find a way to go to Lausanne by themselves,
The fun place Jon mentioned was in an old street in the west of the city. It was a very cold day, but the street was actually very lively at this time.
An An stared at the strange hats on the children's heads, and asked Jon: "What day is it today! So lively?"
"Tomorrow is Christmas, and tonight is Christmas Eve. This is a very important festival in our Great Moon Country."
An An understands, this is equivalent to the Spring Festival for their Han people. She pulled Jing Qi and squeezed inside excitedly:
"We are leaving here soon, take this opportunity to buy more things to take back."
After more than a month, the two children have figured it out. Uncle William may have guessed their identities a long time ago. Even if they gave living expenses, Uncle William would not take it.
Before they thought it was too simple, let the adults deal with these complex human relationships.
An An miscellaneous bought a lot of useless things to take back.
After returning, they found that the servants of William's family were busy, the house was decorated with lights, and there was a beautiful Christmas tree in the yard.
An An circled the Christmas tree curiously, and she asked a servant who was hanging decorations on the Christmas tree: "Is there any show tonight?"
The servant replied with a smile: "Tonight is Christmas Eve, and the adults said they would bring Miss Anna back."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard at the door, and William came back leading Anna by the hand.
Anna no longer wears the prison uniform, but still wears shackles on one wrist.
This kind of shackles is like a bracelet, as long as the prisoner enters the city of Maya, he has to wear it day and night.
Christmas is a big festival. According to the law, serving prisoners can have a day off, so William can bring Anna home.
An An smiled and waved: "Aunt Anna is very beautiful today!"
Anna knelt down and hugged An An: "Your mouth is so sweet, wait, auntie will cook something delicious for you tonight."
"Okay! I want something sweet."
Although she has gone through many ups and downs and is still a prisoner, Anna's eyebrows and eyes are always smiling.
Some people will become decadent after experiencing great sorrow and joy, while a very small number of people can break out of their cocoons and become butterflies. Fortunately, Anna became the latter.
Walking to the kitchen quickly, Anna put the little guy down, rolled up her sleeves and was ready to cook,
William followed closely, Anna drove him out, and William grabbed her hand with a playful smile: "Honey, can I help you?"
Anna didn't take back her hand, and said strangely in her eyes: "It's up to you,"
Jon, who was cheeky and left behind, saw his teeth sore, and leaned closer to An An and whispered: "The city lord and the others are too..."
An An focused on fiddling with the small wooden blocks, and said casually: "What's the matter, don't husbands and wives get along like this?"
Anyway, in her impression, her parents have always been sticky, and there are a few elders who are close to her. So in her perception, husband and wife should be intimate... Although the two people in front of them don't seem to be husband and wife yet, they are almost the same!
An An built a simple house, then knocked it down again, listening to the occasional laughter from the kitchen,
"Anyway, I don't care. Uncle William and Aunt Anna have gone through so much. It's not easy for them to be together. I just hope that they will have a good life."
…
After working all afternoon, dinner was finally served. This Christmas, there are a few more children from An An and Grandpa Sha. William wanted to make it more lively. He gathered all the servants and servants, lit beautiful candles, and held a small dance.
Anna was also a famous lady in the past, and she was good at dancing instruments. William had someone improvise an impromptu band, and she led a dance.
Soon the atmosphere became lively, An An was infected by the atmosphere, and she also pulled Jing Qi to dance. It doesn't matter whether she can dance or not, the main thing is the atmosphere.
Jing Qi of course refused, as a little man, how can he dance?
Jon approached with a smile, and pretended to be a gentleman: "Beautiful Miss An An, can I invite you to dance?"
An An imitated the appearance of a maid, and was about to hand her over when Jing Qi walked over with a grim expression, grabbed her small wrist, and led her several meters away.
An An was dissatisfied: "What are you doing?"
Jing Qi let go of her hand, and said in a stiff voice, "Girls should be reserved!"
An'an was inexplicable: "Why am I not reserved? I played with Qin Shuqing and the others all day long, and I didn't see you saying that you were not reserved?"
Jingqi was angry: "How can it be the same? Qin Shuqing and the others are their own people, and they won't harm you. You are a girl, so you should pay more attention to everything."
An'an snorted, "You are the only one who makes a lot of sense."
Jing Qi saw that she was full of anger, so she endured it, raised one arm and stretched it out in front of her.
An An turned her face away impatiently: "What are you going to do again?"
"...Aren't you going to dance?"
An An turned her face away in surprise, "Didn't you just say that dancing is childish?
And you can't jump! "
Jingqi turned her face away awkwardly: "...you can learn if you don't know."
Seeing that An An was still blinking and staring at him, he became a little annoyed: "I'll count one, two, three, and if I don't jump, I'll fall down."
An An was amused by his appearance,
Jon looked at the two people's indescribable dancing postures, curled his lips in disgust, picked up the cake on the side, and stuffed it into his mouth.
An'an didn't see Grandpa Sha, she walked out of the noisy ballroom, only to see Grandpa Sha leaning against a big tree in the courtyard, his eyes unconsciously looking at the void.
Even though he can walk to the lively dance hall within a few steps, he seems to have separated it into two worlds. Outside the world, there are all kinds of sweet food and lively fireworks, but what he can't feel is only endless loneliness. .
An An walked over and tugged on Grandpa Sha's sleeve: "Grandpa, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Uncle William and the others are dancing. Can you help me take the exam?"
Grandpa Sha didn't break free, and let her pull him silently.
So he sat in the corner of the ballroom, leaning against the stove, with a few sweet potatoes randomly placed on the stove, obviously he was used to the coldness of Maya city, but at this moment, listening to the noisy sounds around him, the two closed worlds Splitting, the heat from the stove warmed his limbs.
The group made a fuss until very late,
William and Anna went to rest together, and An An and the three walked out of the yard, and it was time for Jon to go home. He licked the cake crumbs, and sighed with rare melancholy:
"It won't be long before you are leaving."
An An wanted to go home very much. Although she had been very happy for more than a month, there were no parents, no familiar friends and relatives here. She patted Jon on the shoulder: "It's okay, we can pick you up when we find our relatives." Go to Daxia to play."
Jon shook his head, "It's too far away, I just want to learn more from Grandpa Sha."
An An and An An went back to their own rooms, and the servant had already made the bed.
An An was able to wash up by herself a long time ago, and the servant pointed to the socks on the bedside and said with a smile:
"Tonight is Christmas Eve, Miss can hang the socks on the fireplace, according to legend, Santa Claus will give presents to all the children after the night."
Most of the legends of the Great Xia are based on the idea that man will conquer the sky. This is the first time An An heard this kind of legend and exclaimed amazingly.
"However, wouldn't Santa spend a lot of money every year? Then what does his family do? Is he the richest man in the country?"
The servant was amused by her words: "Santa Claus is not an ordinary person, he can make money out of thin air."
An'an suddenly realized: "That's a god! Gods shouldn't be, according to the rules, gods can't meddle in mortal affairs at will, or they will be punished by heaven."
Based on the rapid development of the storybook industry in the past few years, a complete set of immortal cultivation system has been built. What kind of pill formation and Yuanying crossing the catastrophe... storytellers are so rare, even a child like An An can tell a few words?
The maid naturally couldn't answer, after all, no one would think about this question.
But An An still hung the socks on the fireplace, and prayed with both hands pretendingly.
"Grandpa Santa, although I don't know what kind of fairy you are, believers don't ask much, just want a storage space as mentioned in the story book, so that I can secretly put candied haws into the space, eat as much as you want It's ok, I'm sure my mother won't find out!"
Thinking of such a scene, the little girl dragged her cheeks and laughed unconsciously. "It's best not to confess blood in this storage space, I'm afraid of pain.
And there's more... I also want a unique high-level magic weapon in the world, which can transform into whatever I want, so that I can eat candy whenever I want, and..."
Jing Qi, who was standing at the door, finally couldn't listen anymore. This wish was made, not to mention Santa Claus, even the Buddha would cry when he heard it!
However, An An didn't wait for Santa's surprise, but a robbery.
…
Jon left William's house, humming a song and walking slowly home. It was almost late at night, and there was no one on the street.
Jon is a child, but he doesn't feel afraid at all. His father is a gambler.
He turned the corner of the dark alley, and a black figure rushed past him. Jon turned his head casually. Seeing that it was a wild cat, he looked away slightly disappointed. Would he still want to try the tricks taught by Grandpa Sha?
However, at this moment, the hairs on his body stood on end. His instinct of crawling and rolling since he was a child made him subconsciously feel the danger. Before he could escape, he felt a chill on his neck, and a long knife with a cold light was pressed against his. throat.
"Little ghost, take us to meet those two friends of yours."
Jon thumped in his heart, and cried out in panic, "I don't know anything, let me go..."
The masked man behind him frowned impatiently, thinking of what, he finally resisted the urge to wipe his neck?
The leader of this group of people sneered: "What nonsense are you talking about with such a child, as long as the person is useful, take it with you..."
