I wandered aimlessly around the streets, occasionally taking a fancy to something, only weighing it again and again but not buying it, and then walking away in the disdainful gaze of the shopkeeper.

Actually, I don't have no money, I always have some scraps of silver in my pocket before I fall asleep, and occasionally I use it to buy snacks when I am hungry. It's not my style to look at things but not buy them at this time, but there is no way, who asked Nanjiang to buy things to ask for a kind of money called gold baht, I only use silver in the Jin Kingdom, and I don't have that gold baht.

I put the lantern back in my hand and continued to walk slowly. A young man who bought sugar gourds came up to me, and I stopped him and said, "Little brother, how do you sell this thing?"

The young man stopped and looked at me blushing slightly: "Girl, a string of gold baht." ”

I looked at the gourd tied to the straw handle, and the round hawthorn was wrapped in a layer of sugar, which was a crystal clear red, and it looked particularly beautiful in the light of the candlelight.

I licked my lips, plucked a hosta on my head, and discussed with him: "I didn't bring money when I went out, this hairpin is for you, can you give me a string?"

The young man's face turned even redder, and he raised his hand to pick out the largest string and handed it to me, saying, "No, this string should be considered to have been given to the girl." ”

I took the sugar gourd and smiled: "How can you only get in and out of your business, you can accept this hairpin, anyway, I still have a lot of it." After saying that, he didn't wait for him to refuse, stuffed the things into his arms and left, regardless of his shouting behind him.

Next, I plucked off several hairpins on my head to buy food, and in the end, only a silver hairpin was left, which looked very shabby. But fortunately, I don't care much about this, for me, eating and drinking enough is more important than anything else, as for those hairpins, it would be good to buy them when they are gone.

After a leisurely stroll down the street, I suddenly remembered something very important while eating chestnut cakes, that is, Childe seemed to have been left in the jade shop by me.

After thinking about this, my first reaction was that I should go to Childe, but then the second reaction was that I found out that I had forgotten where Childe's jade shop was, and the next third reaction, I thought I should go back to the Shrine and wait for Childe to come to me, anyway, Childe knew the way, and he should also know that I had nowhere else to go except for the Shrine.

I didn't hesitate anymore, and was about to turn around and walk back, when I heard a familiar call.

"Little Ballad ......"

I paused, turned around, and saw Childe standing in front of a stall not far from me, with all kinds of lanterns behind him, and a flickering candlelight.

He looked at me, gasping slightly, and the panic in his eyes was something I had never seen before. The original meticulous clothes were disheveled, and his hair was also a little messy by the wind, and he looked very embarrassed.

I was stunned, and then I raised the chestnut cake in my hand and greeted him: "Childe, are you here?" I was about to look for you...... What are you doing?"

Before I could finish speaking, Childe suddenly stepped forward and took me into his arms. His strength was terrifying, and the hand that held my shoulder seemed to crush me. I struggled twice and couldn't break free, so I let him go, cough! I'm an unruly person after all.

"Childe?" I called softly, and seeing that he didn't respond, I said, "Childe, what's wrong with you?"

He didn't answer, just hugged me in silence. I was silent with him, and it took me a long time before I felt his hand on my shoulder gradually loosen, and he rested his chin on mine, and his voice was hoarse: "Why don't you wait for me?"

I hesitated for a moment and decided to hide the truth: "Because you're too slow, I'm bored to be there alone, so I'll just hang out and hang out." ”

"Really?" he seemed to smile slightly, "but how did I hear that I left you as soon as I left?"

I continued, "You must have heard me wrong. ”

Childe hugged me tighter: "Little rumor, promise me, don't lie to me in the future." I'm scared of you like this......"

I was stunned, but I couldn't help but ask, "What are you afraid of?"

Childe buried himself in my neck, and his voice was muffled: "I'm afraid I won't find you again." ”

I stiffened.

The memory in my mind gradually struggled out, and it seemed that a long time ago, there was also such a person standing under the bamboo forest, and said to me with a cold face: "Obviously a road idiot is still running around, if you are so disobedient again, I will not look for you in the future!"

The memory jumped again, everywhere I saw was a barren and blood-colored color, a person was holding me, his side face was close to my forehead, and his voice trembled and was light and long: "You hide too well, I have been looking for you for so long, and I can't find you." Now that you appear in front of me, I don't have time to rejoice, and you give me such a result. Feng Yu, are you punishing me?"

"Little ballad...... Childe sighed lightly, "Promise me." ”

I came back to my senses, and when I raised my eyes, I saw a candlelight, and it took me a long time before I nodded lightly and answered, "Okay." ”

Childe gradually let go of me, and when he looked up again, there was an impeccable smile on his face again, and the look of helplessness in his eyes had long since disappeared, if it weren't for his still messy clothes, which meant that everything just now was not my fantasy, I would have to wonder if everything that had just happened was true.

Childe glanced at the chestnut cake in my hand: "Are you full? ”

I watched his look change unusually fast and nodded in amazement. was about to lift his steps, but he grabbed him.

I looked at him suspiciously, only to see him stretch out his right hand in front of me, and then slowly spread it out, and several hostas on it were neatly arranged, and I recognized them as hairpins that I had just taken to change things.

"Take it. Childe raised his chin at me and said.

I raised my hand to take it in a daze, but before I could withdraw my hand, Childe took my hand and turned around and walked towards the palace.

I was still immersed in the hostas that Childe had retrieved: "Childe, these hairpins won't be the ones you found one by one, right?"

Childe raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"

I felt very moved, because even if I asked me to find these hairpins myself, it would take a lot of effort, but Childe found them all without knowing it. Thinking of this, I sighed and said sincerely: "Childe, it's hard work." ”

"Shouldn't you say 'thank you' at this time?"

I paused, felt that he had a point, and said heartily again, "Childe, thank you." ”

"Hmm. Childe responded very frankly.

I choked and said softly, "Childe, in fact, we can be modest. ”

"Really?" Childe seemed to be in a good mood, and even his tone was much more cheerful.

"Yes. I nodded solemnly, "We can't be so cheeky." ”

Childe thought for a moment: "So you think I'm very thick-skinned?"

I nodded.

"No one has ever said I'm thick-skinned, but ......" Childe paused, tilted his head slightly to look at me, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and starlight seemed to fall under his eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment. ”

Me: "......"
