Chapter 44: Little Mouse
A chubby little boy ran over crookedly, and Sister Liu held him in her arms. The little girl not far away also ran over. A few people walked into the house. The little girl looked at the things in their hands and frowned tightly and asked, "Didn't you buy anything to eat?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "This food ...... I haven't had time to buy it yet, so I took the silver and went back to buy it, so you can rest assured that you won't starve you and your brother. ”
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shu Shu and said, "I didn't mean that...... I'm just scared you're hungry. Sister Liu looked at her daughter and smiled helplessly, touched her head and said, "Okay, let's go to the house." ”
There is a main hall in the front yard, and there are two bedrooms, one for the grandfather and the other for Shu Wei to live in. The inside was almost cleaned up, and when Grandpa saw them coming back, he came over with a smile and said, 'It's not getting early, go and prepare some food, and the utensils in the kitchen are almost ready.' “
Hearing her grandfather say this, Shu Wei showed the little fox in her arms to her grandfather, and then sighed. Shu Shu led Sister Liu and her two children to the backyard.
Shu Wei's voice sounded a little timid and said: "Grandpa, I know I'm wrong, but I can't watch this little fox being killed, I bought this little fox back with the rest of the money, I didn't buy vegetables." ”
"Let me tell you what's so good about you? What are you doing that is always rough, look at what you bring back?"
Grandpa waved his hand lightly, and a little gray-white mouse immediately stomped down from Shu Wei's arm. Shu Wei saw that all the goosebumps on the mouse's body stood up, and she never thought that the little fox she was holding in her arms would become a mouse.
Her voice sounded a little trembling and said, "Yes, I'm sorry grandpa, I really, really didn't know it was a mouse...... It's disgusting! How can it be a mouse?"
Shu Wei thought that she had been holding the disgusting mouse just now, and she felt uncomfortable all over her body, and kept patting her sleeves with her hands, afraid that the mouse's hair would stick to her clothes.
"Why can't that little fox with spirit see that it's a mouse? Even if you can't see it, can't you smell the smell of the mouse?"
Shu Wei blushed and lowered her head to look at her grandfather and no longer say a word, she just felt strange at first, but seeing the little fox lying there so pitiful and motionless, she was inexplicably distressed, she didn't smell any strange smell when she held it in her arms, so she hugged a mouse back in such a daze, she hated to give herself a slap and give herself a long memory.
"I'm sorry grandpa, it's okay for you to beat me and scold me, but I was negligent, and everyone who hurt me has nothing to eat. ”
Grandpa ignored her and turned around and went to the backyard, stuffed the silver to Shu Shu and said, "Go buy some food and come back." ”
Shu Shu immediately nodded and trotted out, the sun was about to set at this time, and a little bit of light shone on her slightly immature face.
Some of the shops on the street are closed, and the lanterns in front of some of the shops are lit up, and the red lanterns are hung in front of the shops, and the shops on the street look beautiful when they are connected. While admiring the sparkling light, she looked for a stall to buy groceries. None of the stalls that had been on the street were gone, and the only shops left on the street were unclosed.
The scent of the breeze got into her nose, she turned to see that there was still a steamed bun shop still open, she trotted over and saw a shopkeeper packing up her things and preparing to close.
"Xiao'er, do you still have buns?"
The shopkeeper looked up and saw that she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and she looked a little dirty, presumably a person with no money, he sighed and said, "There are still two steamed buns left, how many do you want?"
"How do you sell this bun?"
The shopkeeper looked at her impatiently and said, "One penny, this cage of steamed buns is ten, if you want two steamed buns, you will be counted as eighteen yuan, how about it?"
Shu Shu handed over a small piece of silver and said, "Okay, then thank you, little brother." ”
The little brother looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise, he never thought that he would meet a big family when he was about to close the door, and he wanted to finish all the buns at once, so he immediately packed the buns for her with a smile. He handed the rest of the copper coin to Shu Zhu.
"Child, can I ask you a question?"
"Girl, please. ”
"There were those little monsters selling on the street just now, why do they all have a diamond-shaped copper coin on their heads, how much is that thing?"
All the buns were bought by this girl, and he was happy in his heart, and he finally didn't have to be scolded by the boss. He smiled and said: "Girl, at first glance, you are from other places, our town is next to the spiritual domain, and some little monsters will always run down from time to time on the Qingqiu Mountain, and the demon hunter has made diamond-shaped copper coins, which are specially designed to restrain monsters! As long as the diamond-shaped copper coins are placed on the heads of the monsters, no matter how powerful they are, they can't escape, so they can only be captured obediently." And yes, girl, almost everyone will go home when it gets dark, you go back quickly, this street is not very peaceful, you see that the doors of each house are pasted with diamond-shaped copper coins, I advise you to buy a few self-defense. Okay, let's go back with the buns. ”
Shu Zhu's face was a little ugly and said, "Thank you, little brother." After saying that, he picked up the bun and ran back. The shopkeeper thought that what he said just now scared this little girl, and he was full of guilt.
After returning to the courtyard, Shu Shu went to her grandfather's room, and when she saw Shu Wei standing in the corner with her head down, she chuckled in her heart.
"Grandpa, the grocery vendor has closed the stall, and I only bought two steamed buns. ”
"Very well, you go and rest. There's nothing you to do here. ”
Shu Shu looked at Shu Wei in the corner of the wall and said with some reluctance: "Grandpa, the eldest sister just feels sorry for the little fox, and that fox looks really pitiful." Don't be angry, the buns have already been bought. ”
Shu Wei turned to look at Shu Shu and said, "Xiao Zhu, you hurry back and rest, I should have thought about it here." ”
Shu Zhu's mouth pouted and he also stood in the corner of the wall, and said helplessly: "Eldest sister, the little fox was bought back with you, if this is a mistake, then I am also wrong, I have thought about it with you, and it should be!"
Grandpa's expression looked serious, he took two steps and looked back at the two sisters and said, "You are sisters, so let's think about it together." I'll come back later and ask you two questions. ”
Grandpa sighed and left the room, Shu Wei said helplessly: "Zhu'er, are you stupid? Do you know what the thing we bought back with a tael of silver? It's not a little fox at all, it's a disgusting mouse!"
