Chapter Forty-Eight: The Strangest "Relative"
"We should go this way, right?"
There were two forks in front of her, Ah Yao hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and pointed to a road, if she didn't remember the wrong direction, go this way and turn out, and return to the bazaar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Pei Shuo had a different opinion, "No, go this way, follow me." ā
He was so clear about the activities in Jiangliu County, and he knew the terrain here well, and he followed the guts, which was much better than her unfamiliar life.
Pei Shuo took her through the streets and alleys, Ah Yao simulated the road map in her mind, and found that she seemed to have deviated from the original route, and she didn't know if she could return to the bazaar, so she couldn't help but doubt Pei Shuo's way, but she didn't go far, and she suddenly returned to the bazaar.
"It's amazing, it's worthy of someone who has been here. She gave a thumbs up, "People here don't seem to be aware of the stampede that happened when we came." ā
The artists who perform at this end of the bazaar are almost extinct, most of them sell food, and almost every food seller has a circle of people, probably tired after walking here, rest first, eat enough and then continue to shop.
A white-skinned woman sells bean curd, scrapes a layer on the surface of the hot bean curd with a flat spoon, holds it in a small bowl, and adds a spoonful of it to the boiled sugar water or soy sauce mustard according to the taste of the guests.
I was tired of walking, the sun was empty, I sweated hot, and there were cold drinks to quench my thirst.
However, the types of cold drinks in Jiangliu County are not as many as those in Nanxun County, and the common ice and snow cold water and cane syrup are also poured osmanthus sour plum soup.
Ice and snow cold water, as the name suggests, is cold water and ice, there is nothing to say, A-Yao watched the stall owner knock the ice into pieces, a small snow-capped mountain was piled up in the coarse porcelain white bowl, a spoonful of thick sour plum soup was poured from the tip of the snow mountain, the sour plum soup gradually penetrated through the crushed ice, the white and crystal crushed ice was dyed red, sprinkled with a pinch of golden cinnamon, it was very good-looking, smelled the taste, the coolness came from the surface, the licorice and black plum smell of the sour plum soup, smelled the mouth, lingered for a while The fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
Sour plum soup.
Ah Yao just thought about it, and saliva continued to flow out of her mouth.
Pei Shuo noticed her eyes, pulled her to the stall, and said, "A bowl of this, a bowl of cane syrup." ā
She pulled Pei Shuo aside and whispered, "You're crazy, we don't have any money!" ā
"You see, I have enough money to buy two bowls. Pei Shuo proudly took out his wallet from his sleeve and took out ten cents to show her: "I'm thirsty, you can accompany me." ā
Ah Yao's heart warmed, turned sideways, blocked his purse with his body, and said, "Take it back quickly, don't show your wealth." ā
For today's bazaar, the people of Jiangcun carried the burden early in the morning, and transported the wheat, chickens, and pickled vegetables harvested in the fields, and Liuya's uncle and aunt were no exception, and almost sold out the pickled vegetables and eggs in the morning, and the rabbits and pheasants caught by the servants on the mountain were also sold on this day.
But the sixth aunt was not satisfied with this, and poked her husband with her fingers, hating that iron is not steel: "Can you learn from the son, but if he leaks some prey in his hands, our family will have a good life this winter, you see the son went into the mountains, and the fur of the big insect was enough for him to eat at home for a year, and I saw that he also brought a fox." You see you're just one or two rabbits, can you have a snack?"
"He earns money for human life, and his head is tied to his belt! How can he be like us, with abundant crops every year. Uncle Liuya's face twisted, and he laughed at him.
Aunt Liuya turned into a smile: "You're right, I'm sure I'll be bitten by a big insect at some point, don't talk about this, it's unlucky! I'm going to tear a piece of cloth for Xiaobao, I have to start making winter clothes......" She counted the things she was going to buy this time, and suddenly pulled Uncle Liuya, pointed to the cold drink shed over there, and said, "Xiaobao and his father, do you think this is Liuya?"
The two children ate and drank ice and syrup under the shed, talking and laughing.
The boy is dignified, although he has not fully grown, he has his own righteousness between his eyebrows, sitting in a small stall on the street, and the arrogance raised by a rich and noble family cannot be concealed.
There was also a little girl beside him, with red lips and white teeth, delicate and lovely, and then looked closely, Uncle Liuya slapped his leg suddenly: "Ouch, isn't this Liuya!"
"Dead girl, let's find it really hard!"
But isn't it, since she escaped, I don't know if Lu Yuanwai received the news, it didn't take long to send people to the door to ask for people, they couldn't hand it over, and letting them return the money cost them even more for their lives, for which they suffered a lot, and it was all Liuya's fault!
Now that I meet Liuya again, seeing that she is dressed better than them, I don't have to think much to know that she has another opportunity, maybe to be a maid for the noble son next to her.
The couple looked at each other, and knew each other's thoughts without saying much.
"Liuya, we are looking for you so hard!" "Liuya's aunt rushed over with a handful of snot and tears, hugged A-Yao tightly, and howled: "Why do you say that you are such a child, you run away from home if you can't think about it, are you doing well outside?"
"What are you doing with a mother-in-law, let go!" Pei Shuo immediately stood up and shouted, but to no avail, he grabbed A-Yao's arm so as not to be snatched away, and shouted loudly: "Come on, shoot the flowers and rob people!"
Ah Yao didn't notice that Aunt Liuya was running from her side, and when she was hugged to death, she struggled desperately, but when she heard what the woman said, her brain was blank, as if someone had pressed the stop button, and she couldn't move.
Six?
Running away from home?
The mountains and forests of the night were illuminated by firelight, and the shadows of the trees were like ghosts and gods, and it was a feast of ghosts and spirits, and the fierce adults chased after the young children, and she fled for her life in a panic, hiding behind the big rocks and shivering, and when she opened her eyes again-
She Jiang Yao is here.
The boss who sold ice drinks came over when he heard the sound, and A-Yao hit a spirit, and struggled desperately to push it: "Help, I don't know her!"
Pei Shuo shouted: "I dare to rob people in broad daylight, I have no king's law, all my fathers and fellow villagers, please help me send this mother-in-law to the yamen, this young master will definitely be rewarded." ā
"You femme fatale-hearted mother-in-law spoils my business, see how the old lady cleans you up!" The owner of the ice drink shop saw that the situation was not right, and invited his mother-in-law out, the proprietress is not polite, this woman dares to rob people in her store, how will she do business in the future!
Immediately picked up the broom and hit the back of the sixth aunt.
"Dead man! Wood, you, see the old lady being beaten back to the stone as if standing aside, dressing eggs!" "The sixth aunt ate the proprietress a broom, looked back and saw the sixth lady and his uncle standing on the pile, and scolded in her throat.
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
"Let go of my mother-in-law!" Uncle Liuya woke up like a dream, and was picked up by the boss halfway like a chicken, "Make trouble, see how grandpa cleans you up!"
Ah Yao took advantage of her pain and wandered to the acupuncture point on her neck and pinched it!
"Wow! cheap hooves!" The sudden soreness made the aunt can't help but let go of A-Yao and slap it over.
failed to fall on Ah Yao's face as he wished, and was quickly clamped by Pei Shuo's wrist.
"Are you okay?" Pei Shuo held Ah Yao with one hand and restrained Aunt Liuya with the other.
"Something, scared a lot. Ah Yao wanted to shake her head and say that it was okay, but when she thought that Liuya died because of them, she nodded and replied in a daze, her voice was not loud or small, so that the people around her could hear it: "Who are they, why are you arresting me, I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Liuya, you have no conscience, you followed the young master to eat and drink spicy food, and you forgot about me and your uncle?"
