At this time, she was childlike, entertaining herself, so excited, she had already forgotten Wenji, forgot her previous unhappiness, and forgot the glowing dragon pendant on her chest.

The people who came and went on the street all glanced over with surprised eyes, but Yan Ling didn't care, he did his own thing. When a child came running to buy a rock sugar gourd, she happily pulled one out and gave it away, and did not ask for money. After a while, many little beggars who asked for food came behind her, staring at her, their eyes full of longing.

When Yan Ling found out, she was so unhappy that she beckoned the little beggars again and again: "Come here...... Come here...... Everybody come here, one for each person. ”

The little beggars rushed up, stretched out their dirty little hands, and shouted: "Give me, give me, give me ......."

"It's all there...... Don't rob everyone, don't rob ......" Yan Ling happily distributed them one by one.

The little beggars grabbed the rock sugar gourd strings, couldn't wait to bite the next one, chewed, cheered, and ran away.

Among them, there was a short-haired little beggar, seven or eight years old, with shabby clothes and a dirty face, who only held the rock sugar gourd skewers in his hands, did not eat, and followed behind Yan Ling all the way.

When Yan Ling found out, the rock sugar gourd had already been distributed, so she lost the stick target and walked in front of the little beggar, who was not a boy, but a girl.

So Yan Ling squatted down and asked affectionately, "Little sister/sister, why do you want to follow sister/sister?"

"Sister/sister is a good person. The little girl said.

"Of course!Sister/Sister is of course a good person!" Yan Lingmei danced, "Why don't you eat this rock sugar gourd?"

"I can't bear to eat, and when I'm done, I'm gone. ”

"Oh...... It's okay, it's okay, you can eat it, and when you're done, sister/sister will buy it for you. Yan Ling gently pinched the little beggar's little hand and stuffed the rock sugar gourd into her mouth.

"Thank you, sister. With tears in her eyes, the little girl opened her little mouth, carefully bit down on one, and chewed it slowly.

"What's your name?" Yan Ling suddenly felt a little sad, as if she saw her former shadow on the little girl's body.

"My name is Xiaohua. ”

"Xiaohua? Okay! Sister/sister's name is Yan Ling, in the future, Xiaohua will follow Sister Yan Ling/sister, Sister Yan Ling/sister will keep you eating and drinking. Looking at Xiaohua's pitiful little appearance, Yan Ling touched the girl's compassion for a while, and couldn't help but want to keep her as a companion.

"Really?!" Xiaohua's eyes flashed with tears of excitement, and he really met a good person.

"Of course, my sister has silver!" Yan Ling was proud, took out the money bag from his waist, and shivered in the air, making a noise.

"That's a lot of money. ”

"Of course, you can eat and drink, you can't be hungry!"

"But...... But there is a time when this bag of silver runs out, what about when it runs out?" asked Xiaohua.

"I can't use it up!" Yan Ling said confidently, "Sister/sister, this bag is called a baby bag, and there is an endless supply of silver." Let's go! Sister/sister will take you to eat a big meal first, and then buy you two sets of clothes, take a shower, and change!"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ling happily took Xiaohua's hand and looked for a clothing shop along the street.

******

More than ten days later.

On the official road of Qingyang County, Chizhou, two girls slowly came.

One of them, about 20 years old, wore a red dress with a collar, her head was tied to the clouds, her steps were steady, and her posture was heroic, and the other was seven or eight years old, wearing a green skirt and her hair tied up, delicate and lovely.

The two girls are getting closer and closer.

Take a closer look: Hey, it's Yan Ling and Xiao Huali!

It turned out that Yan Ling avoided Wenji's pursuit all the way, and went straight west from the three-way market, and suddenly walked out of more than 300 miles. The reason why she went west was because Yan Ling recognized that the journey to the east was the way to Wanling County, and she was afraid that Wen Ji would find her.

It is said that there is a famous mountain in Qingyang County-Jiuhua Mountain, which is the dojo where the virtuous king of Dizang established the Tao and proved his body.

Therefore, as soon as you enter Qingyang County, you can see that there are many temples, incense and candle shops and carving shops in the territory, and the customs and customs are also very kind and mellow, which is actually the education of the king of Jizo.

It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching and hot.

Yan Ling was walking profusely and sweaty, soaking through his shoulders and back, when he suddenly saw a long street in front of him, with shops lined up and crowds flowing endlessly.

"Xiaohua, look, there's food for sale in front. Yan Ling was pleasantly surprised.

"I saw it. Xiaohua was so tired that he couldn't say weakly, "Sister Yan Ling, why did you run away as soon as the dragon pendant lit up?

"Run wherever you want, don't let him catch him anyway!" Yan Ling said fiercely, "Look! there's a restaurant there, let's go have a big meal first, and then have a good rest." ”

Where the words fell, she couldn't help but talk, Yan Ling took her hand, trotted all the way, and came to the bottom of the restaurant.

But see that the restaurant is built three stories high, more than ten zhang wide, carved eaves reflect the sun, the painting building flying clouds, the blue curtain is low to connect the Xuan window, the green curtain is high hanging on the door, the long willow on the side of the building is picturesque, and the flowers in front of the door are paved with beautiful scenery. On the gatehouse on the second floor, a plaque is hung high, and the four words "Taibai Legacy" are written on it, and the style of the end is extraordinary.

Xiaohua looked up at the plaque and said timidly, "Sister Yan Ling, let's change places, right?"

"It's here!There must be a lot of delicious food in there!" Yan Ling dragged Xiaohua and prepared to break through the door.

"It's also very expensive. Xiaohua said.

"It's going to be expensive!"

"But ......"

"But what?"

"See for yourself. Xiao Hua pouted and handed Yan Ling a money bag, which was the one he snatched from Wen Ji.

It turned out that Yan Ling didn't know the amount of silver, and she was very generous, and every time she paid the bill, she took the largest amount of silver, but when she was looking for change, she was annoyed, and as a result, she asked Xiaohua to settle the account. Although Xiaohua is young, she seems to be very exquisite, and she doesn't even want to hide a copper plate from her. In the end, Yan Ling simply handed over the money bag to Xiaohua for safekeeping, and ended up at ease.

Xiaohua originally thought that Yan Ling really had endless silver, so she spent money lavishly, but later found out that Yan Ling, like herself, was a homeless ** man, so she began to reduce her expenses, but when she arrived in Qingyang County, there were only one or two pieces of silver and some copper plates left.

At this time, Yan Ling wanted to eat and drink again, and Xiaohua had no choice but to return the money bag to her.

Yan Ling took the money bag, opened it, and exclaimed, "Why is there only such a little money?"

"I saved this little money, otherwise it would have been spent long ago. ”

"Impossible! impossible, right?" Yan Ling stared at the money bag and muttered to himself, "Why is this money gone?"

"It's the money, it grows its own legs and runs away. ”

"Cut! Will the money run on its own feet?" Yan Ling looked disappointed.

"There's no money anyway. Xiaohua pouted, "Do you want to eat a big meal?"

"Forget it...... I don't have a big meal, so I can find a small shop to eat. Yan Ling was like a persimmon beaten by frost, and her head drooped.

"Sister Yan Ling also said that it is a treasure bag, and there is an endless amount of silver. I see: we only have steamed buns now. ”

"Eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns. Yan Ling held on, but because she was hungry, she panicked, and she didn't notice that the dragon pendant under her neck was shining.

The two of them left the luxurious restaurant, found a noodle shop along the street, sat down, ordered two plates of steamed buns, and ate slowly with a large pot of tea.

Because Yan Ling had eaten delicious food every time before, it was the first time she ate dry steamed buns, and she closed her eyes and frowned, which was extremely uncomfortable.

When he ate the fifth steamed bun, his throat and eyes were dry, and he couldn't swallow it anymore, but his stomach was still growling, so Yan Ling patted his chest while borrowing tea to go down.

Xiaohua was eating steamed buns with relish, while looking at Yan Ling's frowning bear, giggling in his heart.

Suddenly, she saw that Long Pei was emitting bursts of red light, so she shouted, "Sister Yan Ling! Sister Yan Ling...... Your jade pendant has been glowing!"

Yan Ling was swallowing so hard that she couldn't answer the words, and when she swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns desperately, she looked down and saw that the dragon pendant really flashed brightly.

"Xiaohua, let's go quickly!" Yan Ling hurriedly put the package on his shoulder, grabbed the red silk sword holster with one hand, and grabbed Xiaohua with the other, preparing to run out of the noodle shop.

"There are a couple of steamed buns. Xiaohua grabbed two steamed buns and got up suddenly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly rushed over, stretched out his arms and stopped the two: "Two girls, you haven't paid yet." ”

"Give, give, give...... Give you money!" Yan Ling was worried about being caught up by Wen Ji, so he took out the largest piece of broken silver from the money bag (saving trouble), threw it to the shopkeeper casually, and ran away with Xiaohua.

As soon as he ran out of the noodle shop, he heard an anxious shout from not far away: "Sister Yan Ling, I can catch you up, go back with my brother." ”

Don't shout, it's Wenji who shouts!

It turned out that the old farmer's house was quite close to here, and when he turned the mountain mouth, he could see the long street, so Wenji hurried all the way, and sure enough, he caught up with Yan Ling.

Yan Ling glanced back, and was catching a glimpse of Wen Ji's haggard face, staggering, chasing after her, no more than twenty or thirty meters away.

She rarely responded, picked up Xiaohua, toe a little, jumped on the roof, a few jumps, and went far away.

"Yan Lingmei/Sister!Yan ...... Yan Ling ...... Sister/sister ...... "Wen Ji was out of breath and chased to the front of the noodle shop, sweating profusely, his eyes were full of golden flowers, and suddenly his legs and feet were weak, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

After a long time, Wenji struggled to get up, stepping on cotton wool under his feet, stumbling and continuing to catch up.

******

"Sister Yan Ling: Why do you run away every time you see that brother?"

"Sister doesn't want to see him!"

"Why?"

"None of your business!"

"That sister, you run slower, I'm afraid. ”

"Running slowly, let him catch up again!"

Yan Ling carried Xiaohua all the way to leap on the roof, jumped across the street, flew down the official road, and ran forward.
