Chapter 31: Bewilderment

Situ Cheng saw that the mysterious young man had disappeared out of thin air, and saw Shizi'er running towards him again. The panic in my heart decreased slightly, and my legs were weak and I almost couldn't stand steadily.

"How are you, are you alright?" Shi Zi'er asked with concern.

"How did you find this here, I'm glad you came and scared that person away, I'm fine." Situ replied.

Shi Zi'er saw that her clothes were torn in several places, looked her up and down, and saw her hands tucked into her sleeves. So he went and took her hand:

"You still insist that you are fine, look at how your wrists are bruised." Shi Zi'er said distressedly.

"Why, you are wrong, it's just dirty." She hid her hand in her sleeve again.

The tall man who came with Shi Zi'er said beside him:

"Let's get out of here, this place is sparsely populated and it's a forbidden area in the county."

"This eldest brother is ......," Situ asked curiously.

"Patronizing to see if you are hurt, forget jì to introduce you." Shi Zi'er scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

It turned out that Shi Zi'er was fascinated by the candy man, and seeing that there were more and more onlookers, he surrounded the stall. Although he agreed with Situ Cheng to meet at the entrance of the city at that time, he was afraid that Situ Cheng would be in a hurry, so he pushed away the crowd and squeezed out.

When he walked to the entrance of the market, he couldn't see Situ Ming's figure for a long time, thinking that she was still in that street? I was about to go back to look for it, but when I passed by the gathering of customers and came to the cloth village, I was called in by the shopkeeper.

The cloth shop was the one where Situ Cheng had deposited his belongings for sale, and the shopkeeper called him in and told him that their cloth maidens had been taken care of. Let Shi Zi'er go back and bring more, and then ask him to bring the note he just opened so that he can pay off.

The note was originally in Situ Yuan's purse, but now Shi Zi'er couldn't find her again. The shopkeeper saw that Shi Zi'er was sweating profusely, so he called a shopkeeper from inside to come out and help Shi Zi'er find it together. That's where I found it.

Situ Cheng thanked the man and saluted:

"Thank you to this uncle, otherwise I wouldn't know how to get out."

"How did you two come out and no adult followed, you don't know, abduction has been rampant recently. A child playing in front of his house is abducted by an adult without paying attention, not to mention a single woman. "That's human.

"Where do you live, is it from the county seat?" He said again.

"We are from Shijia Village not far from here, just because we ......" Shi Zi'er was interrupted by Situ Cheng before he could finish speaking, and then Shi Zi'er's words began:

"Just because the family is busy with spring ploughing, my father and mother are not idle. The grandmother of the family was seriously ill and bedridden. I didn't have any money at home to heal, so I had to sell some needlework. This is my brother Shizi'er, and I am Pomegranate. ”

"I see, I'm the nephew of the store, surnamed Zhao. You're lucky, you just put things down, and a customer just bought them, and the customer still needs a lot of them. This little brother is handsome, and my aunt is very impressed with him. So he recognized him at a glance when he passed by my store, but I don't know if you have any cloth like that in your house? ”

Shi Zi'er heard that there was more, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, there are many more." ”

The two followed the man surnamed Zhao back to the original cloth shop, and the owner of the shop received the note just now and settled the money to them.

As they were leaving, the shopkeeper said to them:

"Let my nephew give you another ride, just in case the crutch doesn't give up, and he may be watching you somewhere."

Situ Cheng was also apprehensive, she and Shi Zi'er thanked the shopkeeper, and the man surnamed Zhao sent them out of the county.

"Uncle Zhao stayed, and along this road to our village, it was only a few miles away. Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for your hard work. Shi Zi'er and Situ Cheng thanked each other again and again.

When only the two of them were left on the road, Shi Zi'er held back the question for a long time before asking:

"What nonsense are you talking about, when did we have a sick grandma. And aren't you called Situ Ming, tell people what your name is pomegranate, and when did you take the name of the fruit? ”

"I just think it's weird, don't you think it's strange that someone bought our stuff so quickly as we put it down?" Situ said.

"Maybe we're lucky, that's a good thing!" Shi Zi'er didn't understand.

"Besides, the shopkeeper has only seen you once, how can he recognize you at once?" Situ asked again.

"Didn't you hear what Uncle Zhao said just now, it's because of my handsome appearance that I will leave a deep impression." Shi Zi'er was a little proud.

"Little brat, he hasn't grown up yet, how can he see that he is handsome. Boast of yourself, and you will not be ashamed. Situ Cheng looked at Shi Zi'er, a pair of apricot eyes were bright, and a pair of thick eyebrows, silkworm heads and goose tails. I thought to myself, when this little pebble grows up, she won't be able to please her daughter-in-law with this appearance alone.

"I didn't dare to ask you just now, how did you and Uncle Zhao find me?" Situ asked again.

"He took me to find it, he said that he is more familiar with the county, where do I know the southeast and northwest, thanks to him." Shi Zi'er said gratefully.

"Did you first look elsewhere and didn't find it, and then found it in that place?" Situ asked again.

"Why do you have to ask these questions, I was dying at that time, and I just wanted to find you soon. Now that I think about it, I don't remember where I went, but it seems that he led me straight to that place. Shi Zi'er thought for a while and said.

"I don't hear his accent is local, how can he be so familiar with this county as a shopkeeper?" Situ Cheng muttered to herself again.

"Are you too frightened, why do you always look for something that is not there? Even if you are a foreigner, you will be very familiar with this place after doing business in the county for a long time. Shi Zi'er stretched out her hand and touched Situ Ming's forehead.

"You weren't shot in the head by that bad guy, were you?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm not confused, are you expecting me to have a bad head?" Situ Cheng said angrily.

"I just thought it was so unusual and overzealous. In short, it doesn't feel like something is quite right. Situ Cheng had a headache.

There is also the young man who claims to be Xiao Jiahan, who is not good or bad, and speaks and behaves strangely. By the way, in the end, he asked her a word, and asked her what her relationship was with the Situ family in Kyoto. And his expression changed suddenly, which was very scary.

With this experience, Situ Ming didn't dare to mention the word "Situ" to outsiders again, and said nonsense to the man surnamed Zhao that he was a pomegranate. It's just that for this kind of reason, she didn't plan to tell Shi Zi'er.

Shi Zi'er looked at her and frowned, she didn't know what to think again, and she didn't answer her questions and stopped bothering her.

The two walked silently for a long time, and Situ Cheng suddenly stopped, and said to Shi Zi'er with a stern expression:

"Shizi'er, I suddenly remembered some things from the past, my home may be in Kyoto."
