Chapter 66: Outside the City

After the first breakfast of the new year, Li Chengdao hurriedly returned to the room for an excuse. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of his prank, Wu Shun and the others ate two brown sugar prison pills, which can be regarded as a celebration; However, Wu Zhao took a bite of copper coins, her double row of silver teeth clenched, glaring angrily, coupled with the displeased look of Wu Shitong, Li Chengdao could only eat a few brown sugar dumplings and got up and ran away - his bowl was basically full of brown sugar dumplings, so it was impossible for him to finish eating them!

Back in the room, he summoned Dark Sixteen to ask him to change into clothes and put on a mask, and he put on a simple dress, took off the mask and disguise, and Sun Dao appeared!

"Work hard, I'll only come back in the evening~" Sun Dao took out the money bag and folded paper from the clothes he took off, patted Li Chengdao who was wearing a mask, and then rolled out of the window with a smile.

Then he came to the gate of Wufu in a circle, and at this time, Helan Yueshi was naturally waiting in front of the gate of Wufu.

"Does Helan still know me?" Quietly came behind Helan Yueshi, and then patted him on the shoulder, Sun Dao asked with a smile.

"Sun Gongzi?" Helan Yueshi whispered softly, so that he was really taken aback, after all, this person's whereabouts were haunted, and he didn't seem to have the slightest awareness of being a servant.

"Hehe, it's me!"

"Why did Sun Gongzi just come back?"

"Huh!" Hearing this, Sun Dao immediately pulled Helan Yueshi out of the Martial Mansion, and then explained, "I hope Helan will help keep it secret, and the news of my return will not be leaked!" ”

This can't be blamed on Sun Dao, although he made a decision to make Sun Dao's role appear more often, while Lee Seung-do remains mysterious; However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and in a series of follow-up events, only the identity of the Hidden King was the best choice, so Sun Dao could only change his strategy and swap the responsibilities of the original two roles. Then Sun Dao can only hide in the shadows; But fortunately, the character of Sun Dao has found a reason to be absent, otherwise it would be another headache!

"Yue Shi understands!" Helan Yueshi groaned slightly, and then his eyes lit up, obviously misunderstanding something.

"Your Highness summoned me back today just for one thing!" Sun Dao didn't care, and he didn't explain, anyway, he should see it in the future.

"What's going on?" Helan Yueshi followed and asked--since he called himself, then he must be useful for his own place.

"Without it!" Sun Dao turned around and walked towards the market, "Let's go outside the city!" ”

"Uh......" Helan Yueshi suddenly felt that His Royal Highness the Hidden King, the master and servant, both had a common characteristic, that is, they had a strong ability to jump, whether it was a topic or a behavior! Just like now, he said that he was going to the outside of the city, but he was walking in the direction of the market - could it be that Sun Gongzi was a road idiot? Helan Yueshi, who was entangled all the way, didn't realize that he had followed Sun Dao into the market!

There were very few pedestrians in the city, so it was easy for them to find a butcher's shop.

"I know you don't open a shop!" Sun Dao knocked on the door of the dried meat, blocked the door with his body, and said straightly, "But we double the price, I hope you can sell us a few catties of pork belly and pork ribs, is it okay?" ”

"You see, on the first day of the new year, someone came to the door to deliver money, isn't it a sign that you are going to make a lot of money this year~" Seeing the hesitation on the boss's face, Sun Dao smiled and continued to tempt.

"Okay!" I thought it might be a wanderer who had just returned, right? The boss finally walked to the table and wanted to chop them a few catties of meat and ribs.

"Boss, five pounds of everything!" Seeing this, Sun Dao recalled the situation that day and specially explained.

"Okay!" When the boss heard the promise, he threw off his arm and chopped five catties of meat and ribs for them.

"Boss!" Sun Dao also happily took out a few taels of silver and handed them to the boss.

"Many!" The boss picked out a smaller one from it, and then said with a smile, "It's not easy for anyone to celebrate the New Year, and we can't be greedy for your silver, right?" ”

Sun Dao glanced slightly, and then laughed at himself, "The boss is laughing~"

Carrying large pieces of meat and pork ribs with Helan Yueshi, they knocked on the door of the fish shop and mutton shop in turn; At the same time, a little girl entered the butcher's shop......

"Sun Gong, this is?" At noon, the two people with big bags and small bags came out of the city gate and walked to the grass shed in Jingzhou, Helan Yueshi's conjecture became a reality, but he still couldn't understand that even if he had wandered among the people, a royal prince would not do this, right?

"Every seed is eager to sprout~" Sun Dao replied to the question, but the sadness in his eyes was clearly visible as he spoke, making Helan Yueshi can't help but lower his head and not look at those eyes, "Similarly, every child longs for the New Year!" ”

"Let's go!" Seeing Helan Yueshi bowing his head and saying nothing, Sun Dao finally reacted and sighed silently - Mary in the greenhouse would always laugh innocently and sweetly, so why didn't they eat cake? -- Isn't this the sorrow of the times?

Looking at the children gathered in twos and threes, the two stepped into the grass hut - empty.

"Why is there no one?" Sun Dao frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

"Sun Gongzi forgot?" Helan Yueshi finally had a chance to despise Sun Dao, "The people in the city go to the Taoist temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha in the first year, and this is also a good season for them to beg~" Saying that, he turned to the children who were laughing and playing outside the grass shed, "At this time, they are the only ones who are unrestrained, right?" ”

"They?" Sun Dao smiled sincerely, and suddenly his ears jumped, as if he heard a sparse voice from Xi Xi.

"Looks like there's another one?" Turning to look into the depths of the grass shed, Sun Dao stared at the slightly trembling straw mat, as if he remembered something, and softly spit out a sentence that made Helan Yueshi puzzled.

"Shh~" Sun Dao raised his hand and instructed Helan Yueshi not to make a sound, smiled and quietly came to the place where the sound came, looking at the small body trembling slightly, he squatted down and patted it suddenly, "Brother found you~"

"Second brother~" Hearing Sun Dao's voice, the person hiding inside suddenly jumped up, got into Sun Dao's arms, and shouted violently.

The delicate voice that trembled and cried slightly contained the endless grievances and fears that erupted at the moment when a lost child found his relatives! It seems that he wants to pour out all the fears he has experienced.

"Good~good~" Hearing this, Sun Dao immediately reacted, one hand gently hugged the little girl's trembling head, and the other hand couldn't help but gently brush her back slightly dry long hair, "Second brother is here!" The second brother has always been there! ”

"Second brother, why are you here!" Who knew that the little girl's voice was even better than crying, and she kept shaking her head, "Let Shun'er wait for you for a long time!" ”

"Shun'er?" Hearing her self-proclaimed, the corners of Sun Dao's eyes jumped, as if a silver snake flashed from his head, but he didn't catch it!

"It's all the second brother's fault! said that it was okay to catch and hide, but the second brother let Shun'er hide under the stove for so long and didn't come to me! ”

"Shun'er, don't cry~" Listening to the slightly stopped sobbing sound again, Sun Dao couldn't help but comfort with a headache, "It's all the second brother's fault~ The second brother made amends to Shun'er~"

"Will the second brother still leave Shun'er?" The little girl finally stopped, and raised her little face with pear blossoms and rain, her big watery eyes full of hope, as if she had seen a savior.

"Uh......" Sun Dao tightened his thick eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed - it was impossible for him to take this ten-year-old girl back to Beijing, but her pleading look couldn't bear to refuse.

Is this retribution?

And the little girl looked at him like this, her eyes full of luster gradually dimmed with Sun Dao's hesitation, and the tears in the corners of her eyes involuntarily left silently along her cheeks.

"Your second brother still has something to do, why don't you wait for him in Jingzhou?" Helan Yueshi, who had been watching them on the side, came out to brush his sense of existence, but Sun Dao's expression lit up, as if he had remembered some excellent plan.

"That's right, Shun'er, the second brother still has big things to do, Shun'er will wait for the second brother in Jingzhou first, and then come to see you after the second brother finishes his work, okay?"

"Shun'er knows!" Lowering her head, the little girl's slightly red and swollen eyes flashed with a hint of Sun Dao's inaccurate reading, and then nodded resolutely, "Second brother, go ahead!" Shun'er won't bother you! But Shun'er will come to you! ”

"Huh?" Sun Dao was confused by the little girl's words, but he didn't care, it was one thing that he couldn't take her back to Beijing, and it wasn't her own business to find her by herself!

With the little girl following behind and busy chopping meat and stewing soup, Sun Dao skillfully turned all the kitchen utensils in the simple kitchen in the grass shed, and by the way, he also commanded Helan Yueshi to be busy from time to time, and Helan Yueshi, who had never entered the kitchen, was in a hurry, causing the little girl who was gradually cheerful to giggle and laugh.

Soon, the smell of meat wafted around the hut with the cold wind, and directly attracted the children who had not smelled the smell of meat for a long timeβ€”they all crowded in front of the door, staring at the fragrant pot with unblinking eyes, but they did not dare to come any closer.

"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" Seeing this, Sun Dao smiled lightly, holding a spoon and pointing to the hot water over there.

"Second brother~" Seeing them rushing over there, the little girl wrinkled her little nose, seemingly a little disdainful and a little puzzled.

"They're all still children~" Sun Dao put down the spoon and tapped her head, squinting and muttering.

"Oh~" looked up at his distracted face, the little girl was thoughtful, and a burst of light flashed in her dark eyes.

"Shun'er also go and prepare for dinner!" Sun Dao, who came to his senses, nudged her and motioned for her to follow them.

"Oh~" The little girl seemed to be a little lost, but she still bowed her head.

"It's just a child!"

Watching the children gobble up all the food on the table, Sun Dao and Helan Yueshi both laughed from the bottom of their hearts - this is the greatest happiness of the peasant children in the Spring Festival!

It's just that Shun'er's unhurried and elegant posture surprised the two of them a little - it seems that she is also a child from a middle-class family!

"This is the end of the story! When I go back, I'll admit my mistakes! Sun Dao looked at the children who were smiling at the children who were holding their bellies with satisfaction after eating, he looked up into the distance and muttered in a low voice.

"It seems that His Royal Highness and him also have an unknown story~" Helan Yueshi, who has always seemed to understand whether he understands or not, caught a glimpse of Sun Dao's expression, and also muttered.

Only the little girl, staring at Sun Dao, also looked confused, mixed with struggle, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Get up~" Sun Dao, who came back to his senses, stepped forward and pulled up the children who fell asleep one by one, "I can't fall asleep just after eating, it's not good for my health"

"I'll teach you a game today......" drove all the children out of the grass shed, Sun Dao picked up a few stones, squatted on the ground and beckoned Helan Yueshi and the children......

Looking at the children who were squatting and arguing with each other, Sun Dao smiled and squatted in front of the little girl who had been tugging at the corners of his clothes, stroked her cheeks and rubbed her and said, "Second brother is leaving!" Shun'er has to take care of herself alone~"

"Second brother~" The little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and shook it constantly, pouting and looking at him aggrievedly, and there seemed to be tears in her particularly bright eyes.

"Second brother! Shun'er will take care of herself and then go to you! Without waiting for Sun Dao to speak, he wiped away his tears, pursed his lips lightly, and bloomed slightly.

This pretended to be a strong smile, which made Sun Dao hug the little girl tightly, "No one has ever escaped sadness, sadness is the biggest devil~"
