After the Legend Chapter 14: May Carnival

Xiao Tianjian was taken aback and asked what was wrong, but Ming Na was crying and didn't have time to talk to him. Seeing this, Marshall complained, "Why did the Count go out without saying hello? It hasn't been two days. Come back, even if you and the young master are doing business, you should say something. Xiao Mingna has been very sad these two days, she thought she was abandoned by her relatives."

Xiao Tianjian immediately hugged his little granddaughter and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, how could Mingna have such thoughts? Although it's a bit too much for your mother to get angry and run away, but your father just went to work, and Grandpa just... uh... just wandered outside. It was still early when we left, you were sleeping, we didn't want to wake you up, so I didn't tell you, I didn't mean to abandon you. "

Ming Na cried and asked, "Then you... should also tell... me, I watched... Dad... and that woman... ran away, I thought you didn't want me anymore "..." Before she could finish her sentence, she started to cry again.

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly coaxed, and Marshall sighed beside him: "Even if it's earlier, it's okay to tell me, or tell Ming Na in advance the night before, the child won't be so sad."

Xiao Tianjian glanced at him, but did not respond, just coaxed Ming Na: "Okay, this time it was grandpa's fault, and grandpa will never be like this again in the future."

"Won't... leave me?"

"Yes, yes, I won't leave you again." Xiao Tianjian couldn't even think about it, he just agreed.

Ming Na felt better after receiving the assurance from her grandfather, so she slowly stopped her tears, but still sniffed from time to time. Xiao Tianjian thought that the child's red nose was very cute, so he made her happy, and asked her what she had done in the past two days. After learning that Ming Na's practice was not going well, he promised to teach her again, and promised to give her candy and toy as compensation.

Actually, Ming Na was just scared because she suddenly lost her relatives, so when she saw her grandfather, she cried out of grievance. At home, and will bring her mother back, she will smile again. As soon as the big stone in her heart was put down, she was attracted by the laughter from a distance.

Marshall also had a smile on his face, and asked, "People in the city are having a good time. The dance has just started for more than an hour, and it's still too late to go. Xiao Mingna, do you want to put on a new dress and play?" Yes With Xiao Tianjian by his side, he was not worried about what other people would say unpleasant things.

Minna was a little excited. Although the dance was boring, the food was delicious, and she hadn't seen those boys for a long time. I wonder if they have any new games recently.

Xiao Tianjian unexpectedly expressed an objection: "Are you talking about the dance party in the Edonian Chief Executive's Mansion? I've heard of it before, but it's just an elegant gathering of officials and businessmen, meaningless. Na wants to play, I know better places."

Minna hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" Marshall said hesitantly, "Lord Earl... It's better not to take children to dangerous places."

Xiao Tianjian glanced at him: "I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Then he picked up his granddaughter: "It's just the right time to go, let's go play with grandpa." After that, he took Ming Na out of the house, ignoring Marshall behind him. The call, launched the light work, and swept straight to the street in the distance.

Ming Na only felt that a gust of wind blew her hair into a mess, and the scenery on both sides of the road swept back quickly. It was the feeling of flying that she had missed for many days, and it lasted longer than before. She couldn't help but be happy shouted.

By the time this feeling disappeared, she was already on the street, full of happy crowds, everyone dressed in festive costumes, children chasing each other, and occasionally bumped into adults, only to be laughed and scolded.

"How is it? Is it more fun to be outside than to be bored at home?" Xiao Tianjian asked.

Minna nodded sharply, but thinking of Marshall who was yelling at the back just now, she said, "Let's call Grandpa Marshall to play together."

Xiao Tianjian smiled: "Silly boy, old Marshall also has something he wants to do? Do you want him to accompany you all day? Look over there, the old grandpas have their own fun."

Ming Na followed his fingers, and sure enough, she saw several elderly people smoking pipes and chatting under the eaves, teasing the children running beside them from time to time, and two people playing chess. She thought about it, Grandpa Marshall seemed to like to smoke two puffs too, but he couldn't because he always wanted to accompany her, so let him do what he likes when he has time.

Seeing that his granddaughter had no objection, Xiao Tianjian smiled slightly, then hugged her around and walked to an alley, and within a few steps, it was a tavern he often came to.

Ming Na has never been to this house, she wondered why the house was so short. After a closer look, she found that half of it was built underground. After walking down a few steps, she heard noises coming from inside the house. Faint singing and dancing. After Xiao Tianjian pushed open the closed door, Ming Na found herself in a world completely different from the outside world.

The front of the tavern is small, but the inside is very large. The front is the bar. The owner seems to recognize Xiao Tianjian and greets him from a distance. There are twenty or thirty small round tables in front of the bar. In addition to seven or eight female guests, most of the guests are men. There are also two or three dwarves among them, which almost fills the entire tavern. However, most of them are now But they were all crowded on the edge of the small stage on the right, where a gorgeous woman with curly blond hair and a red dress was dancing.

The woman is a bit handsome, the neckline of the dress is opened very low, revealing most of her ****, her slender waist twists frantically, and her hands are dancing along the edge of the long skirt, occasionally showing half snow white Her thighs made the men around her drool and threw countless flowers and copper or silver coins to her side, but if anyone approached her and wanted to take advantage of her, she would push her away, causing others to laugh at her. Only the person with gold coins can get her active approach, but whether he can successfully steal the incense or not depends on the man's ability. The woman glared at the men around her, and when she saw Xiao Tianjian entering the door, she flew a kiss.

Xiao Tianjian just smiled when he saw it, and took his little granddaughter to the bar. The owner of the tavern said with a smile, "Count Xiao, what kind of wind is blowing today? Your old man came to the shop?" Seeing Xiao Mingna who was looking around, he was a little surprised: "Is this your daughter? This is not the place for a little girl."

Minna immediately turned around and argued, "I'm not a little girl!" But Xiao Tianjian and the boss both laughed. The former said: "This is my little granddaughter, please bring her some milk. I'm still the same." Ming Na quit again: "I don't want to drink milk!"

The boss asked with a smile: "Then what do you want?"

"What do you have here?"

"Anything, I tell you, in my old Bud's shop, you can do whatever you want."

"Then..." Ming Na rolled her eyes, "I want orange juice, and it's fresh!" Her request was actually a deliberate criticism. At this time, the orange season had passed for two months, and Marshall made the cake. Now, I can only use dried oranges or orange powder, and if I want to drink fresh orange juice, at least I have to go to a big city. How can such a small shop have it?

Old Budd glanced at Xiao Tianjian, but the latter just smiled and said, "Give it to her if you have it, and I will give it as much as you want." How much is a little orange juice worth? Just coax children.

Old Bud laughed suddenly, went down to fiddle for a long time, and really got a glass of orange juice and put it in front of Ming Na. Ming Na tasted it, it was really freshly squeezed, and the pulp was still in it, so she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although she was young, she had also quarreled with Marshall for fresh oranges during the two days of trouble, and heard from him the current price of fresh oranges. This glass of juice, I'm afraid it will cost one or two gold coins to say the least. She secretly glanced at Grandpa, saw that he was just smiling at her, didn't care at all, and calmed down, feeling that Grandpa really loved her, so she smiled a little smugly.

Drinking two sips of orange juice, she looked around and saw the guests sitting around, most of them were drinking a golden liquid in a large glass, and she knew that it was a local specialty beer, which is said to be Brewed according to the recipe of the dwarves, it is different from the beer in other places. She has wanted to taste it many times, but unfortunately she was stopped by her grandfather. Today is the festival, can I make an exception?

She turned her head and looked at the wine glass in Xiao Tianjian's hand, eager to try. Xiao Tianjian noticed her gaze, he was amused, he wanted to coax the child, but it was a holiday anyway, so he asked, "Do you want to drink?" Ming Na nodded in surprise, and he smiled and said, "You can only drink one sip, taste it. Just taste it." Ming Na jumped up with joy, but almost didn't fall to the ground. She was pulled back to the high round stool by her grandfather. The big cup, smelled it, and took a big sip.

It was icy and cold. At first, I couldn't taste it. Gradually, a fragrance came up, with a bit of a bitter taste, but after drinking it, there was a hot air that went straight into the nose, even in the mouth. Spicy up.

Minna hurriedly threw away the beer and took a gulp of orange juice before she felt cooler in her mouth. Xiao Tianjian and Old Bud laughed when they saw it. Seeing this, Ming Na was angry: "Bad grandpa! Why didn't you tell me this is spicy?!" Xiao Tianjian laughed: "You are a child who is not used to drinking it because it is spicy, but it is actually delicious." Took half a glass to go. Minna pouted and ignored him, just staring at a few dwarves who were fighting wine.

Xiao Tianjian smiled again, and then leaned into Old Bud's ear and whispered, "Why did you let that woman come into your store? Didn't you say you wouldn't let her do business here?"

Old Budd also answered him in a low voice: "She's just here to dance today, don't worry, I won't let her mess around."

Xiao Tianjian was relieved, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the dancing woman. Although it is a good thing to be favored by beautiful women, he has seen many beautiful women and has a high vision. This kind of woman who is mediocre in appearance (in his opinion) is still obsessing him with the idea of ​​asking for money. Of course, he does not look down on it. What's more, the other party is notoriously dissolute.

Who knew that "the other party" was glanced at by him, but he thought he was interested, so he walked over with his slender waist twisted, and said with a charming smile: "Why didn't the count go to my house? I specially invited you last time. go."

Xiao Tianjian smiled: "I heard that you are very busy. There are guests every day, so don't bother." The woman heard that he was mocking, and felt a little unwilling. But the smell of inferior perfume on her body made Minna unbearable.

Her grandfather, Viscount Zhufa, the family's main business is the spice business, so although Dora is poor after marriage, she has never used anything bad in perfumery, and Minna has "taste" in this regard. It's also quite high, where can you stand the pungent scent? She then shouted: "Who are you? You smell so bad, go away!"

The woman froze, her face could not come down, she was about to scold back, but saw Xiao Tianjian and Old Bud staring at her coldly. Although she wanted to get some more money, she knew that these two people were not something she could mess with, so she walked away angrily, cursing in her heart. Soon there was another wild bee and wave butterfly around her, which quickly restored her damaged self-esteem.

Old Bud looked at her back and snorted coldly, turned his head and smiled and said to Ming Na who was pouting: "Don't pay attention to her, my son is about to perform, he is a bard, listen to me Does he sing well?"

Ming Na turned her head to look at the small stage. Sure enough, she saw a young man in his twenties sitting above him. He looked a bit like Old Bud, with gray hair and long bangs covering half of it. Only the right eye, the eyes are squinting, and the smile is very flattering. The female guests in the entire tavern—there were girls in their fifteen or sixteen years old, as well as aunties in their thirties and forties—were screaming, "Little Bud! Little Bud!", and the male guest next to him pouted in disdain. , but was stared at by his mother and sisters.

The little Budd plucked the lyre a few times, and the melodious tune sounded, and the whole tavern fell silent, only he could hear him singing slowly: "In the distant Yarrow forest, we walked out of our black hair and black hair. The hero with the eyes, he brought the sharp sword from his family and came to the prosperous Water City..." He said the legend in this way, his voice was a little hoarse, but he had a different taste.

As soon as Ming Na heard him sing a couple of lines, she knew that he was singing her own grandfather. She was about to tell the party excitedly, but he covered her mouth.

Xiao Tianjian asked Old Bard angrily: "Why did you sing this?" Old Bard said with a smile, "This is the origin of our May Festival. Thirty years ago in May, It is because you led our soldiers to beat the sand thieves back that the annual celebration is held. If you don't sing this, how can you celebrate the May Day?"

Xiao Tianjian glared at him angrily, looked left and right, and saw that several people who knew his identity just smiled and signaled toast to him, and had no intention of shouting, so he put down his heart, and whispered to his granddaughter: " Don't tell anyone it's me." Minna blinked and nodded in agreement, but she was even more interested when she continued to listen to Little Bud sing, even though she had heard it countless times from Winnie.

The little Budd sang the poem for an hour, but he sang well and played the violin well, and everyone around him cheered loudly. He smiled and got up, bowed to everyone, and sat back on the chair, but suddenly his hand moved, and a cheerful tune sounded in the room.

Everyone laughed. First, the shoemaker and his wife took the lead in dancing, and then a young couple joined in. Gradually, many people danced. The dancing woman in the store only danced around with a man, and then she didn't know where she went.

There are more and more people dancing, and little Bud's songs have changed one after another, all of them are cheerful dance songs, the house is getting more and more lively, all the tables and chairs that were originally placed in the house have been pushed to the ground. on the side. Ming Na watched everyone dance~IndoMTL.com~ her body also swayed slightly. Looking at Grandpa, he was already in high spirits. He jumped to the center of the room and danced a dance that no one had ever seen before. Everyone was shocked and applauded. .

Ming Na also felt very novel when she saw that Grandpa only supported his body with his head or back, and performed many difficult movements on the ground. turned up. However, under the influence of Xiao Tianjian, there were two other young lads who believed that they were excellent dancers, and they danced out in disbelief. Although one of them failed when trying to perform a difficult move, which was exchanged for a burst of good-natured ridicule, the other danced so well that the ladies who had just screamed for Little Bud fell in love with him. But when the young man looked at Xiao Tianjian proudly, he found that he had gone somewhere.

Xiao Tianjian had already squeezed out of the tavern with Ming Na in his arms. At this time, it was already dark, and colorful lights were all around, but there were more pedestrians on the street than during the day. Many people wore various masks, greeted each other, and asked each other to guess who they were. .

Xiao Tianjian took Ming Na to another tavern to eat some bread and broth, and then went to the square with the others to watch the fireworks. Ming Na saw that the children around her would scream every time they saw a firework rising into the sky, so she called out twice, and took a peek at her grandfather. Seeing that he didn't scold her like her mother, she followed others with confidence. called together. She saw from a distance on the balcony of the Grand Hall of the Governor's Mansion, Susannah and several other boys were standing solemnly watching the fireworks, only to feel that they were happier today than any previous May festival.

(No spirit, I don't know if it's a physical or psychological reason, I'm not in the state anyway...)
