Chapter 25: Blocking the Road
"Childe......" Xiao Lei, who was in a hurry, happened to meet Yun Bi who was returning from the kitchen, he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and strode forward.
"Miss Shi, son, he ......" Yun Bi saw that Xiao Lei seemed to have something on her mind, and turned to ask Shi Manman, who had just walked out of the flower garden, and looked at Xiao Lei's expression and thought that the two had an argument just now.
"Xiao Lei, he said he was going out." Shi Manman patted the stone and soil that was still stained in his hand, and then looked at the food in the hands of Yun Bi and a few maids.
"Oh...... The girl can eat. "Observing words and looking at colors is a survival skill for almost all subordinates, Yun Bi knew what the other party meant when she saw Shi Manman's eyes, and immediately beckoned a few maids to serve the meal.
This meal was not as enjoyable as Shi Manman wanted to eat, she was still thinking about Xiao Lei's unfinished words, and she also wanted to know what Xiao Lei suddenly thought of before she hurriedly went out. When he didn't seem to want to involve herself, that's why she resisted the idea of going along.
But curiosity is like a little cat scratching in her heart, and she can't even eat it. Only by taking advantage of Xiao Jin's snake bite and "correct identity" of the little hooked snake, he ate happily under the gaze of all the maids, and did not stop to rest until he ate a round belly.
"Since...... Then I'll go with it myself? Shi Manman bit the bamboo chopsticks lightly and muttered to himself indistinctly.
Halfway, Shi Manman seemed to have made a decision, put down his chopsticks, put the small hooked snake that was held up to the point of immobility, put it into his sleeve and raised his feet to leave.
"Girl, where are you going? I can show you the way. Yun Bi saw that Shi Manman's appearance was about to leave, and she was worried that she didn't know the way, and the Xiao family was too big.
"No, I know the way." didn't give Yun Bi a chance to continue talking, and she disappeared in front of Yun Bi in a corner.
Shi Manman stood outside the gate of the Xiao family and gently twitched Xiuqiao's nose. The smell of Xiao Lei in the air is a little light, but it has not completely dissipated. Determined the direction, the stone vine walked towards a bustling street.
On the noisy streets, I saw people coming and going. There are shouting and selling, bargaining, transporting goods, enjoying the scenery and parading the streets, etc., the prosperous scenery makes the stone vines dizzying, if this time it is not to find Xiao Lei, she will definitely stay on this street, take a good look at the world in her obsession.
The smell of Xiao Lei became more and more difficult to distinguish in the mixed crowd, but fortunately, the smell of Xiao Lei was getting closer and closer, and Shi Manman's attention was all on the smell, and he didn't pay attention to the road in front of him, until a young boy bumped into Shi Manman.
"Ouch, it hurts! How do you walk! The boy fell to the ground, clutching his injured right forearm.
"I didn't hit you." Shi Manman looked at the young man who seemed to have fallen lightly on the ground, and she really didn't hit the other party. Although she didn't pay attention to the road in front of her at that time, she stood in place to confirm Xiao Lei's direction.
"Seeing that my sister doesn't seem to be a person with eye disease, how can she talk nonsense! Look, my hand is broken. The young man's exclamation attracted many curious passers-by, and at this time he grinned and rolled up his sleeves, and saw that the arm was indeed high and swollen.
Shi Mangan couldn't help frowning at the young man's injury. The force of the young man's collision with him just now was not great, and there was no reason why the injury would be so serious.
Seeing that Shi Manman was silent, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice even more, and complained to the onlookers with a little cry.
Everyone saw the young man's childish appearance, and listened to him talk about how he walked, and was knocked down by the person in front of him and broke his arm, and Shi Manman still didn't admit it. People who have not seen what has happened will naturally sympathize with the weak who have been victimized. The onlookers whispered and pointed at Shi Manman, and even a few people shouted that Shi Manman would lose money.
Shi Manman saw that there were more and more people around her, and she didn't know if it was an illusion or too much smell, but she actually smelled Xiao Lei's smell and a trace of blood at the same time. Inexplicably, a premonition of irritability made her lose her patience, and she stepped forward and grabbed the young man's injured arm.
The young man was startled and shouted: "What do you want to do, you want to hit someone without losing money?!" When the words fell, I listened to the "click" sound of the bones connecting. The pain was so severe that the boy almost fainted.
"I've healed my wounds, can I go?" Shi Manman once took Xiao Lei's broken arm, although he used spiritual power at that time. But the injury of the young man in front of him only needs to be brought back to the bones.
The young man was stunned, he tried to move his hand slightly and found that his arm was really fine, and after being overjoyed, he immediately calmed down and said to Shi Manman: "What if the bones are connected, I don't know how long it will take to recover from such an injury." I still have an old mother to raise at home, and I can't take over this picture, you want to cut me off! After speaking, he pretended to wipe away his non-existent tears.
"What do you mean?" Shi Manman's eyes were a little colder, and he healed the other party's injuries and didn't even let him leave. The smell of blood was already very obvious, and the crowd almost encircled her and the boy in it, if it weren't for the fact that her spiritual power was almost gone, there was no way to stop her from leaving.
"Do you smell Xiao Lei? Well, something may have happened to him, you were looking for him earlier......" The stone vine whispered to the small hooked snake in the cuff, and then there was a slight vibration in the sleeve, and then a swarthy creature instantly bounced out of the crowd like lightning. The speed of the small hooked snake surprised the stone vine for a while, and the attention of the people around them was among the two of them, and no one noticed that a snake had quietly left.
The young man looked at Shi Manman talking to himself on the cuffs, could it be that the girl in front of him had a problem with her brain? No wonder he had already made it so obvious that she didn't know what she wanted.
The people around thought that Shi Manman was pretending to be stupid, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and came forward and said: "The injury is because of you, you should give him some money and let him grab the medicine." After listening to this, the people around followed the gossiping response.
Money? Shi Manman remembered that the broken silver on her body was put together with the clothes she had changed, she had just entered the mortal world and was not deeply involved in the world, where to go out and think about bringing some money with her. Shi Manman shook his head and said, "I didn't. ”
The young man sneered: "Who are you fooling, looking at how you are dressed, you don't look like a master with no money." You've got jade on your chest. As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at it.
Shi Manman quickly stepped back, and the young man grabbed a void. "This can't be given to you." The impatience in Shi Manman's heart was almost at its peak, and after speaking, he raised his hand and stroked it on his bun. As a transparent jade hairpin appeared in his hand, a black and dense green silk of the stone vine was scattered.
"Here's for you." Shi Manman took the hairpin and stuffed it into the young man's hand, anxious to know if the little hooked snake had found Xiao Lei, and raised his feet to leave but didn't find that the people around him, including the young man, were stunned by Shi Manman's actions.
In this day and age, it is very rude to wear a cloak on the street, and the other party is still a woman. Even if they are not familiar with "The Female Ring", at least they know a little bit about it. Everyone had a thought in their hearts, "If this girl wants to get married, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
The person who was blocking in front of Shi Manman, seeing Shi Manman looking at him coldly, looked at the surroundings and suddenly became embarrassed, and consciously let go. At this move, the people around him also moved out of the way.
