Chapter 54 Horse Whistle
As far as the eye can see, there is a lot of traffic on the entire street. Although it is not impossible for people here to wear dragon costumes, more people choose simple tight-fitting clothing than in Dragon City. Yu Xiaoxiang has begun to gradually understand that in the empire, wearing a dragon suit is actually a symbol of status and wealth. For one thing, more natural fabrics are needed to make dragon suits, which is extremely expensive just for the cost. Second, the production cost of dragon costumes is high, often dozens of times that of other costumes. The most important thing is that the dragon costume is long-sleeved and fluttering for both men and women, the men's front placket is attached to the foot, and the women's skirt is directly dragged to the ground. To put it bluntly, not to mention that it is easy to get dirty, it needs to be cleaned almost every day, and it is very easy to damage the skirt, which means that it can no longer be worn. It is precisely for these reasons that the dragon suit cannot be regarded as everyday clothing by ordinary civilians. Just like on the street in front of you, the vast majority of people choose clothes that are tightened at the cuffs and trouser legs, and are more close-fitting.
Xiao Yichen on the other side looked immobile on the surface after walking up and down the city, but in fact, the pair of starry eyes kept scanning back and forth. And Xiao Feixing, who was beside him, had already seen that something was wrong on the street at this moment, and after quietly approaching, he lowered his voice and said, "Third brother, there is indeed something wrong with this planet, and there are almost no orcs in the lower city. ”
Xiao Yichen nodded slightly, and said softly: "Let's go back and talk about it, don't worry about him for now." ”
Nodding his head to show that he understood, Xiao Feixing also understood that the street was not a place to say this.
"Xiang'er, there is a seller of incense powder over there, let's go and have a look. Xing'er's sharp eyes seemed to have found something interesting, so she took Yu Xiaoxiang's little hand and rushed over directly.
It was determined that the target of the two little girls was only a few dozen meters ahead, so Xiao Yichen did not stop it, and still slowly moved forward by himself like a tourist.
"Smell it, it smells so good. "At the entrance of a store that obviously sells women's cosmetics, there are many fist-sized boxes of incense powder on the flat booth, and although no one shouts for it, it also attracts some women to choose from. And when Xing'er and Yu Xiaoxiang, the little girls in dragon suits, appeared, the store seemed to be a little more enthusiastic.
Just as Yu Xiaoxiang was about to take the incense powder handed over by Xing'er, she suddenly felt that someone was touching something beside her. Although she didn't have much kung fu, the little beauty with keen senses thought she had met a pervert, and subconsciously reached out to grab it. But when she turned around, she found that it was a child who was only a little taller than her waist and looked underage.
What surprised Yu Xiaoxiang the most was that the child had a pair of short rabbit ears on his head, and was wearing only a short linen robe that reached his knees and exposed arms, and his dirty little face was covered with dirt, and there seemed to be some weeds and debris in his hair.
"Sister, can you give me some money to eat? I haven't eaten for three days. Without waiting for Yu Xiaoxiang to ask, the little rabbit girl had already opened her mouth pitifully.
I don't know when it will appear, the two big men who were close to Yu Xiaoxiang and Xing'er's side fell on Xing'er's face at this moment, seeing her shaking her head slightly and waving her hand, she was silent at the moment, and quietly retreated behind Xiao Yichen not far away.
Seeing such a cute little girl asking for something to eat, Yu Xiaoxiang suddenly felt pity, squatted down and gently wiped her cheeks, and said with a gentle smile: "Okay, my sister will give you money, wait a minute." ”
As he spoke, Yu Xiaoxiang untied the money bag he hung on his belt, and prepared to take out some from it for the little girl in front of him.
Suddenly, Xiao Yichen's figure appeared on Yu Xiaoxiang's side, and the man who folded the fan in his hand turned cold, and said gloomily: "Little thing, do you want this son to let people throw you out?"
As soon as Xiao Yichen's words fell, the little girl of the rabbit tribe trembled, turned around in an instant and pulled away the pedestrians on the side, and didn't know where to run with a smoke.
"You're sick!" Yu Xiaoxiang saw that Xiao Yichen, a big person, was actually scaring the poor little woman, and suddenly her willow eyebrows rose up, and when she stood up, her fingers almost poked the bridge of His Royal Highness the Prince's towering nose, and said angrily: "If you don't have sympathy, forget it, why are you still scaring her?"
In an uproar, he opened his folding fan, Xiao Yichen continued to walk forward with his legs without care, and said slowly: "My son has always been unsympathetic, did you only know today?"
"You!" Yu Xiaoxiang, who was angry, really wanted to rush up and beat the bastard prince at the moment, but before he could act, his arm was already grabbed by Yue'er's jade hand.
"Xiang'er, you blame the son. Yue'er grabbed Yu Xiaoxiang with a smile and said, "That child is not a real beggar, but a 'horse whistle'." ”
"What does it mean?" Yu Xiaoxiang immediately asked about a noun that he had never heard before, but the anger in his eyes had disappeared a lot.
Pulling up Yu Xiaoxiang and quickly chasing Xiao Yichen, who had already walked out of a distance, Yue'er said softly: "Although the girl's body is not clean, there is no smell, this is one of them." Second, although her hands are muddy, her nails are very smooth. Third, there was no mud in the cracks between the nails. Fourth, there were several holes in the linen clothes on his body, but the incisions were smooth, and he was obviously deliberately cut by a sharp blade. Judging by these alone, this is not an ordinary little beggar, but a horse whistle. ”
It seemed that she also understood that Yu Xiaoxiang didn't understand the horse whistle, Yue'er paused and said: "The horse whistle means that those children who have been adopted by people like the green-skinned ruffians since they were children, let them squat on the streets, and observe the fat sheep. We are wearing dragon costumes and look like outsiders, so we are naturally fat sheep in their eyes. It's just that Childe has a lot of guards, so they don't dare to use force, so they turn to take advantage of your pity. In general, the tricks of the horse whistle are pretty much the same. If they feel that they can use it, they will let the children come over and bump into people, and then pretend to be dead and a group of people will surround them and insist on extorting money. Either that, like you just did, let you give her the money yourself. Childe saw through this, so he made a statement to scare her away. ”
"That's exactly what happened. After Yu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, she asked suspiciously: "Then even if I give her money, I won't give too much, that's interesting." ”
"You're so kind, you haven't seen the sinister human heart. Yue'er smiled and shook her head slightly, and then said: "The horse whistle just now, if you give her money, she will leave, but it won't be long before a bunch of horse whistles will ask you for money." If you buy her food directly, then as soon as she takes a bite, she will have a 'stomachache', saying that you have poisoned on purpose. Do you need me to explain what happened after that?"
