Chapter 309 Closing the City Gate
Haicheng time 6 o'clock
"Boom, boom, boom—"
Six dull bells rang out, and those who were still staying and playing in Haicheng looked up at the direction where the bells came from.
The time shown on the big clock is already six o'clock!
"No way, this, there's only half an hour left before the city gates close?"
"No, no, I have to go buy something to eat. No, that's not right. I'm going to eat another bowl of wontons, and then buy some snacks to eat later!"
"Then hurry up, it will be gone if you're late!"
Everyone thought so, so when they arrived at Uncle Gao’s wonton shop, there was a very long line.
"Oh my god, how long will this take?"
"I don't know. The owner of this store is the only one busy running around. I guess it's not going to work. I won't wait any longer. I'm going to go buy something somewhere else first!"
Some people left, some stayed, and some people rolled their eyes and came up with a bad idea to stay.
"Do you really want to stay?"
A young man at the side looked at the people around him and asked quietly. Another person whispered in his ear: "Haicheng is so big, how can they know where I'm hiding? I'll find a place to hide while there are more people around. I don't believe his cold attack can really freeze anyone to death."
"What if?"
"There's no such thing as a 'what if'. This is just a bluff. I don't believe it anyway. It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. If you don't want to stay, don't report me, or I'll never let you go!"
"you......"
The young man was really afraid of death. He didn't think it was scary for the lord of a city to say this, but his friend didn't believe it and insisted on staying, so he couldn't say anything.
I could only watch him hide in the crowd and slowly move to a corner.
The young man Ke Si clenched his hands, turned around and walked towards the bakery nearby, bought some loaves of bread, and ran out before the city gate was closed.
"Achu, do you want to catch that kid and throw him out?"
Zuo Xuefeng was about to make a move, but Sang Chu said, "Since he wants to test the law, let him try, so that no more people will think that hiding in Haicheng will solve all problems."
"But he's still so young!"
Sang Chu turned to look at Zuo Xuefeng: "Being young is not an excuse to make mistakes. I'm not the only one who told you that Haicheng is dangerous at night, but he didn't listen and insisted on seeking death. Why should I indulge him? Zuo Xuefeng, I know you have good intentions, otherwise you wouldn't have saved me, but in the end times, kindness will only lead you to eternal damnation."
Maya Ru stood aside and waited for Sang Chu to finish speaking before saying, "Zuo Xuefeng, look around."
Looking in the direction of Maya Ru's finger, everyone actually noticed the boy, but no one spoke up to stop him. Some even tried to cover for him, clearly treating him as a guinea pig.
"If you don't let everyone know that Haicheng is dangerous at night, more than one person will do this in the future. How many people can you take care of?"
Zuo Xuefeng fell silent. Sang Chu looked at Maya Ru and said, "When the alarm sounds at 6:30, go and close the city gate. During this time, you will stay at the farm."
"Okay, I'll go there first."
After Mayaru left, Sang Chu also left, leaving Zuo Xuefeng alone standing on the bell tower, looking at the boy's hiding place and sighing softly.
He couldn't do anything that went against Sang Chu's orders.
The warning sound echoed throughout the entire Haicheng, and could be heard clearly in the sky and underground.
Zhu Ruizhen was startled when she heard the city gate alarm for the first time. Sai Yue came over with milk tea and handed her a cup. "This is the alarm for closing the city gate. It's very short and passes in a flash. What you need to pay attention to is the alarm at night."
Zhu Ruizhen held the hot milk tea in both hands and asked seriously, "Sister Saiyue, is this the same sound that the cold attack warning makes?"
Yun Ya had just tried on her clothes and walked out. When she heard Zhu Ruizhen asking, she helped explain, "The cold attack alarm has three sounds, and they're longer than this. The first is for preparation, the second is for start, and the third is for end. Anyway, there's a clock in every room, so just pay attention to the time. When the first sound rings, no matter where you are, run home quickly, and then wait for the lights in Haicheng to come on before going out. That's for sure. Sister Saiyue, Zhenzhen, what do you think of this outfit of mine!"
This is a light green brocade long skirt embroidered with dark green bamboo branches. The overall look is fresh and refined, and it is a perfect match with Yun Ya's delicate and beautiful face.
Zhu Ruizhen also wanted to wear beautiful clothes, but her hair had not grown out yet, and she always felt a little inferior.
Seeing her lost look, Sai Yue touched his chin and suddenly thought of a way to make money from her: "Xiao Rui, do you really want to grow your hair?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ruizhen's eyes lit up instantly: "Sister Saiyue, do you have any ideas?"
"of course!"
She is a witch, how could she not have some tricks?
Yun Ya also noticed that Zhu Ruizhen seemed to really care about her hair. She couldn't help but come forward and said, "Sister, if you have any ideas, please help Zhenzhen!"
Sai Yue was suddenly choked by Yun Ya's enthusiasm, and then said seriously: "This is not difficult, but it requires drawing a magic circle. Give me three golds and I will help you draw it now. Your hair will grow back in a while."
"Really, really?"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Sai Yue said in a strong voice, "Of course I am a fourth-level witch now, so growing hair is not a problem for me."
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
She took out three exquisitely crafted rings from her space. She had just discovered that Sai Yue seemed to like this kind of rings very much.
Sai Yue took the ring and quickly put it on her hand. The exquisite hollow design made her fall in love with it: "Stand still."
After she finished speaking, she opened her hands, and the magic circle pattern between her hands lit up. The warm yellow light slowly covered Zhu Ruizhen's head, and her black hair grew out one after another.
Sai Yue: "How long do you want it?"
Zhu Ruizhen also felt her hair growing longer, and she gestured excitedly: "Here, to the waist, okay?"
"Of course!"
The long hair that grew out of magic was black, shiny, and straight, which made Zhu Ruizhen love it so much. Yun Ya looked at her new friend who was so happy and couldn't help but push her into the fitting room: "Zhenzhen, then try on the dress quickly. I'll get you the ink-wash dress you liked just now~"
With that, she skipped away. Sai Yue didn't know whether Yun Ya was just naturally careless or what. She had almost died in the lab before, but she was still so naive now. She could only say that it was a good thing that their master was Sang Chu, otherwise this little girl would still be helping others count money after being cheated.
......
Shi Yiqi took advantage of no one's attention and walked into a small path, but who knew that Mu Xue was waiting for him inside!
"I thought you wouldn't come out. I waited for you here for so long after I had enough to eat and drink!"
Shi Yiqi backed away, looking at Lin Muxue with an innocent face: "Sister Muxue, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that as long as I'm here, you can't hurt Sang Xiaochu!"
