After coming out of the teahouse and sitting in the carriage, He Linwan was a little absent-minded because she had a memory in her heart, until the carriage stopped again, He Mian knocked on the wall of her car outside, and shouted: "Come down, come down!"

He Linwan thought that the Guandi Temple had arrived, so he got out of the carriage, but when he looked up, he saw that this was not the Guandi Temple, but a relatively remote alley.

"Where is this? Aren't you going to see the temple fair? How do you get off here?" He Linwan was puzzled.

He Mian instructed the little maid to find a family nearby to help them take care of the horses and carriages, and then said to He Linwan in surprise: "This is a small alley near the Guandi Temple, and there are all private houses nearby. Do you still want to take a carriage to the Guandi Temple? Have you forgotten that at the last temple fair, I don't know whose carriage was blocked on the road for two hours, and then you met a lion dance team, and the carriage was almost overturned by the crowd? You still laughed at the time that people were riding in the carriage because their brains were kicked by donkeys!"

"......"

He Linwan didn't answer He Mian's words, but thinking about it, there was indeed no place to park the carriage in front of the Guandi Temple today, so He Linwan acquiesced to He Mian's arrangement.

"Hurry up! Go this way!" He Mian jumped into the alley, and beckoned back to He Linwan, "Why are you so slow today? In the past, my brother chased you and ran, for fear that if you ran away, I wouldn't be able to pay the difference when I went back!"

He Linwan followed He Mian with the maid, and as she walked, He Linwan suddenly felt that these alleys were a little familiar, and she had been hiding in the capital for a long time after she escaped with her cousin and younger brother, and at that time she naturally did not dare to hide in the east and north of the city where the nobles and court officials of the family gathered. So they hid in the west and south of the city, where the common people lived, and if they met the government to find someone, these alleys and alleys were connected in all directions, and it was relatively easy to escape.

However, because these alleys look too similar, He Lin was in a trance at that time, so he forgot whether he had walked this road in the first place.

He Mian was very familiar with this neighborhood, and I saw that he took He Linwan from this alley into that alley, and then turned into a small road from that alley, and when he came out again, it was the street at the back door of Guandi Temple. Even though it is the back door of the Guandi Temple, there are many people gathered here. The street, which can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel, is lined with small vendors.

Not far in front, a four- or five-year-old child dragged a woman's clothes to the corner of her clothes, crying and refusing to leave, no matter how much she persuaded her. Pointing to the small stall of the candy man next to him and asking for a candy man, the woman was so angry that she slapped the child twice and took him away, and the whole street cried loudly. A group of little daughters-in-law and little girls gathered in front of the stalls selling purses, handkerchiefs, hair flowers and other small things. Across the street. An aunt who sells glutinous rice cakes and a little daughter-in-law who sells jujube cakes quarrel on the street over the land occupied by the stalls. Attracted a bunch of people to watch the excitement.

He Linwan stood there and suddenly remembered that she had been here before. Because Xue Tanhua rode through this road when she was riding a horse on the street, and standing here again at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of being separated from the world.

He Mian squeezed away a few children and rushed to the candy gourd seller. He took away the last four strings of sugar gourds, and turned around with his throat in his throat and asked, "Ah Wan, do you want to eat sugar gourds?"

The little daughter-in-law who came to buy sugar gourds with her children but was squeezed away pointed at He Mian and scolded angrily: "Where did the gluttonous monkey come from, we came first! ”

He Mian is used to mixing in the market on weekdays, so he is not as thin-skinned as other sons, he motioned to the little girl to give money, and at the same time did not forget to reply to the little daughter-in-law cheaply: "The master is because people are bigger than your kid, so he eats a lot." And you don't spend your family's money, can you manage it?"

As he spoke, He Mian grimaced at the child who was looking at him, and stuffed a sugar gourd into his mouth in front of him.

When He Linwan walked over, He Mian immediately handed her the two strings of sugar gourds he was holding in his hand: "Eat quickly, people are envious." ”

Looking at the eyes that shot from all directions, He Linwan calmly took the two strings of sugar gourds in He Mian's hand, and then handed one to the little woman who was watching them angry: "I'm sorry, my brother is joking with the child, don't you mind." ”

The little woman was stunned, even if He Lin was dressed ordinarily when she came out today, but from her words and deeds and her demeanor, it could be seen that she was definitely not an ordinary girl, and the little woman hurriedly waved her hand and smiled solemnly: "No need, no need." ”

The child she was holding in her hand was drooling and said, "Mother, I want to eat." ”

The little woman was a little embarrassed and glared at the child fiercely.

He Linwan handed the sugar gourd in his hand to the child, and the child immediately took it and then raced it into his mouth.

The little woman was so angry that she patted the child, but her hand was very light: "The starving ghost is reincarnated!"

The child was also about four years old, and he was eating sugar gourds while sucking snot that was about to reach his mouth. The gown on his body was made of old cotton cloth, and in the eyes of people like them, it might not be as decent as the little maid at home, but the gown was very soft and there was no patch on it, and it was a good outfit for a four-year-old child in an ordinary family.

The reason why He Linwan looked at the child more was because there were some orchid flowers embroidered on the cuffs of his cotton gown. This reminded He Linwan of Brother Jie, although Brother Jie is young, he is a pretty, and he likes to let her embroider some small animals on his cuffs, neckline and other edges and corners, and children who don't embroider clothes with the patterns he likes refuse to wear.

Seeing He Linwan looking at the child, the woman said to He Linwan embarrassedly, "The child is not sensible, see and laugh." This...... I'll give you the money for the sugar gourd. So saying, the little woman went to touch her purse.

Seeing that the child was eating the other string of sugar gourds in his hand while eating it, He Linwan simply handed him the string in his hand, and the child took it happily.

The little woman was about to hand the copper plate to He Linwan, but when she looked up, she immediately stopped: "Hey, no need......"

At this time, He Mian shouted in front: "Ah Wan, come quickly, I heard that the front door is performing a wooden box into a snake!"

He Lin saw that He Mian had gone farther and farther. Afraid of losing it, he smiled and said, "Give it to the child." "I left without taking the money in her hand.

The little woman looked at He Linwan, then at the two copper coins in her hand, and still happily took the money back into her purse.

While eating the sugar gourd, the child looked at another string, licked his lips and said to the little woman with some reluctance: "Mother, do you want to leave this string of sugar gourds for the little wood to eat?"

The little woman rolled her eyes at the child, "Eat your own, two copper plates and one for one, and still think about others?" I took a little wood with me to give someone a few matzas, and I went for so long. It's not going to be where to see the excitement, is it?"

He Linwan followed He Mian from the back door of Guan Gong Temple to the front door, the front door was more lively than the back door, and there were several juggling teams at the temple gate, and there were performers of pole plays. There are those who perform sword swallowing. There are also monkey performers. He Mian looked over one by one. While cheering, he didn't forget to throw a few copper coins into the copper basin.

"The wooden box has turned into a snake here, Ah Wan come and see. He Mian said at the front door.

He Linwan was also very curious about these juggling, and asked Chunxiao to give the little monkey who was playing to them a few copper coins. Hearing He Mian's shout, he walked to the side with the most people.

He Mian saw that He Linwan was still outside, so he quickly squeezed back, and then pulled He Linwan and went inside again, Chunxiao immediately walked to the other side of He Linwan to help her separate the crowd.

He Mian also complained while looking around: "Tsk, you are quite clever on weekdays, why did you come out today to be stupid? It can't be that you are sick, right?"

He Linwan ignored He Mian, they had already squeezed to the front of the crowd, attracting a string of complaints from the surrounding area.

He Linwan saw a simple platform set up at the front door, and a middle-aged man with a beard was chanting a strange incantation towards a black wooden box placed on a wooden table.

Then the bearded man walked back to the wooden box covered with a black cloth. The people around them all stared at the wooden box with bated breath, and He Linwan also watched with interest.

Suddenly, there were a few exclamations in the crowd, and the black cloth covering the wooden box actually moved, and then slowly pushed the black cloth up, and the black cloth was pushed higher and higher.

Some timid women screamed and stepped back, so crowded that the people behind them couldn't stand steadily, Chunxiao was also hit by someone, He Linwan held her up, and was about to tell her to be careful, but when she looked up, she was suddenly stunned.

In the crowd opposite, a child of about four years old hurriedly walked by with two things in his hand, others were small, the things in his hands were not light, and his steps were big, and there was a feeling of stumbling in the crowd.

He Linwan felt that the blood in her whole body was coagulated at this moment, her hands trembled a little, she didn't know what to do, seeing that this small figure was about to be drowned in the crowd, He Linwan finally came back to her senses and shouted over there: "Brother Jie!"

But at this moment, the bearded man performing on the stage lifted the black cloth on the box, and a bamboo leaf stood up straight from the box, hissing and spitting snake apricots towards the crowd. There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, and there were people like He Mian who were desperately slapping their hands and whistling.

These voices completely covered up He Linwan's voice.

He Linwan immediately squeezed in the direction where the child disappeared, many people were stepped on by her and complained, and the grumpy woman pushed He Linwan, He Linwan ignored it, she only had the child who just appeared in her eyes in her eyes, the child was only four years old this year, she loved to eat sweets, and after getting into trouble, she threw herself into her arms and called her sister softly, as if any suffering in this world was far away from him, because he believed that his smart sister could do anything.

He Linwan burst into tears unconsciously, and she shouted "Brother Jie" as she ran there, but these crowds always blocked her way, and the voices of these people also muffled her voice.

He Linwan finally squeezed out of the crowd, but where was the figure of the child.

He Linwan hurriedly looked around, and found that he had squeezed out of the most lively boundary in front of Guan Gong Temple, and there were not a few people around, but it was much easier to find one or two people than just now, but it was a pity that He Linwan didn't see Yang Chengjie.

He Linwan hurriedly asked an old woman selling incense and candles next to him, "Mother-in-law, have you seen a child about four years old walking past here, he is still holding something in his two hands, and he looks very heavy." ”

The old woman looked at He Linwan and said, "Yo, four-year-old child, that's a lot." Who are you looking for? It can't be that you were abducted by the flower child? Then you have to hurry up and report to the official! Last year, during the temple fair, I lost several children, all of whom were four or five years old. ”

A few stalls next to him also echoed, and He Linwan asked a few more people, and they all said they didn't see it.

He Linwan couldn't help but wonder if he had just been dazzled, or had he mistaken someone else's child? But that child was very similar to Brother Jie in terms of height and movement.

Over there, Chunxiao, who had just been startled by the snake, finally found that He Linwan was gone, and hurriedly asked He Mian, who was looking at the excitement: "Third Young Master, where is my girl?"

He Mian waved his hand and said, "Isn't it right next to me?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look and found that He Linwan was gone.

Chunxiao couldn't help crying urgently: "Third Young Master, where is my girl? I lost the girl, and I will definitely be sent down by my wife when I go back, what should I do?"

He Mian scratched his head: "It should be okay, right? Could it be that he was abducted?" Speaking of this, He Mian couldn't help but sneer, and he was amused.

"Come on, she felt bored here on time and ran away secretly, don't worry, just look for it. He Mian said with a big grin.

"Then let's go find it now, Third Young Master, you promise our wife that she will take good care of my girl. Chunxiao hurriedly said.

Although He Mian still wanted to stay and watch the juggling, he thought that he had indeed promised the third aunt not to let He Linwan alone before going out, so he reluctantly squeezed out with Chunxiao.

Over there, He Linwan was anxious to look around again, and she didn't want a high-pitched voice to sound in front of her: "It's this girl! It's that she just rushed to reincarnate and hit me on a rampage, ouch, my waist is about to break." ”

He Linwan looked up and saw a middle-aged woman who was five big and three thick was pointing at her with one hand, holding her waist with one hand to block her way. Beside the middle-aged woman stood three muscular men.

He Linwan couldn't help frowning.

The woman said to the three men, "Catch her quickly, see that she is wearing good clothes, and the family should have money, and today she will not let her go without accompanying her mother for ten taels of silver for medicine." ”

Sorry to come back later than expected. t-t
