Chapter 33: A Heart-Aching Past
Bai Jiaojiao was really ecstatic when she heard this. She didn't expect her to do this first competition business so quickly, and this business was so successful. happily put all the fruits into the basket brought by the maid, and Bai Jiaojiao borrowed a scale from the side and weighed it.
"Sister, you see, a total of twenty-four catties and two taels, and the weight of the basket after removing one catty and two taels is twenty-three catties. Four cents a pound, a total of ninety-two cents, I don't want those two cents, my sister just give ninety cents. Bai Jiaojiao weighed the scale and let the maid see it.
The maid didn't pay attention to this, and began to take money from her purse after hearing the price: "I didn't expect that your little girl would also weigh and settle accounts, and you will give me less on the price at the beginning, and it is not easy for you. ”
Bai Jiaojiao took the money, she was very happy, but her face was not obvious, and she forced the urge to jump up and sent the maid away.
This is the first money she has earned alone!
Bai Jiaojiao put the money in the small bag she carried, put it in the innermost layer of her clothes, and carried the frame, this trip was finally worth the trip, happily humming a song and walking on the road, the crowded street, always a little crowded, Bai Jiaojiao put her hand on her chest, worried about the salary of the busy morning.
It's noon now, there are still a lot of people, everyone thinks that they can buy cheaper things by catching a late market, suddenly, Bai Jiaojiao felt that there was a sudden crowd behind her, and there was a lot of pressure on her, Bai Jiaojiao subconsciously turned sideways, just enough to face the people behind her.
The man stretched out his hand and completely pulled out the money bag that was some exposed on Bai Jiaojiao's body, Bai Jiaojiao was caught off guard, and the person quickly ran to the place where the money bag flowed, but Bai Jiaojiao was a little stunned, and then shouted loudly after reacting. "Thief, help thief!"
After Bai Jiaojiao shouted, the crowd seemed to have thrown a drop of water in the oil pot and fried the pot in an instant, and became agitated.
"Where are the thieves."
"I just saw a guy running by."
Bai Jiaojiao chased after him, watching the man shuttle through the crowd, some young and strong people also ran up to chase after him, some people were bumped into, and some stalls were also messed up. Still others hid far away for fear of being affected.
Bai Jiaojiao was blocked by the small stalls around her, and she was secretly depressed, it seemed that she was busy today, not only that, but she used her hands to sort out the blood on her legs that she didn't know what was drawn, and she wanted to cry a little. When did she go through this, and she didn't know how she got to such a place where birds don't.
Bai Jiaojiao exhaled deeply, she was so angry, how could there be such a person, now that life is not good, who can live comfortably, there is such a cheating, playing tricks with hands and feet, doing such a shameless thing.
"Little girl, are you alright? I see you're bleeding from your legs, does it matter? A lady who was setting up a stall next to her stepped forward and asked.
"I'm fine, auntie." Bai Jiaojiao said sullenly.
No one is heartless, although I desperately want to hit people now, but other people's concerns should not be ignored, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person.
"Black-hearted, I'm not having a good time this day, but I ruined my business, how can I live."
"It's really unlucky, it's bad luck today."
Some of the vendors who were knocked down said with resentment, it was nothing more than venting, and Bai Jiaojiao could understand it. Tidying himself up without saying a word.
"Don't talk about it, you can still sell it when you pack it up. The little girl looked really unlucky, the silver was gone, and I didn't know if the family would beat and scold her. ”
Some people couldn't look past it and hurriedly comforted them.
Bai Jiaojiao tidied herself up, and walked slowly towards the house with her legs, eat a trench and grow wise, what can she do, she can't even see a figure, she only blames herself for not being able to slash the thief without the power of the chicken.
Now looking at the noodle stall on the side of the road pennilessly, her stomach growled twice, Bai Jiaojiao covered her stomach with her hands a little dejected, and wanted to walk over in a hurry. It's no wonder that Bai Jiaojiao was hungry at this time, although she had breakfast when she came out in the morning, she didn't eat much, she walked for so long, and she was hungry for so long after walking for so long and selling at the market for so long.
"Poof...
Bai Jiaojiao only heard someone around her sneer, this voice was a little familiar.
"Little girl, do you want to eat a bowl of noodles?"
Bai Jiaojiao froze in place, such a voice, such a feeling is too familiar, and the breath behind her also made Bai Jiaojiao instantly full of a sense of security, why? Bai Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed, every time she was most embarrassed, that person would suddenly appear, probably because she hadn't heard that person's voice for a long time, and there was a trace of sour nose when she heard it coldly.
Bai Jiaojiao was just stunned there, not moving, and not making a sound, for fear that it was her own illusion.
Feeling that the person behind him leaned forward again, the snort was full of the crisp scent of sandalwood, and Bai Jiaojiao was still in place.
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I forgot your savior?" Li Jingcheng's tone was still flat, but if he didn't listen carefully, it was difficult to hear the slightest hint of pampering in his tone.
Bai Jiaojiao finally turned around slowly, wanting to confirm whether this was a dream or not. Slowly turned around, only to see a person dressed ordinary, no longer dressed in white, with a fairy feeling, but a very ordinary face, still in the sea of people is not very prominent, not so eye-catching.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at the person in front of her, although she had a different appearance, she had to say that the temperament in her bones would not be deducted because of her bland appearance.
"What? Silly? Li Jingcheng saw Bai Jiaojiao looking at him so stupidly, and said helplessly.
He didn't know that Bai Jiaojiao was still in the excitement and hadn't eased up.
Bai Jiaojiao was stunned for two seconds before rushing to the source of the voice, wanting to ask him where he went, why he hadn't seen him for so long, and whether he was injured. But when he hugged Li Jingcheng tightly, he couldn't ask anything. Just stuck her head in his arms fiercely and inhaled the breath from his body.
Li Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and put his hand on Bai Jiaojiao's head and rubbed it gently, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Are you alright? It's okay. Bai Jiaojiao said.
Li Jingcheng suddenly remembered the figure again, and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Jingcheng, I was scared to death, I thought you wouldn't come back, they all said you disappeared, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I am about to despair, where have you been." Qingxue tried her best to control the tears in her eyes while beating Li Jingcheng, not wanting them to fall.
"I'm not coming back safely, don't cry. You see I'm fine, it's just a trip home. The boy looked at the little girl a little confused.
"Next time you can't suddenly disappear and scare me to death. I thought it was because I was disobedient that you left, Brother Jingcheng, I swear, I will be absolutely obedient in the future, don't make you angry, don't leave secretly. Good no good? The little girl cautiously raised a pair of watery eyes to look at the young man, the young man had a trace of unbearable, he could not make any guarantees, his background may be the biggest deception to her. But it's predestined, it's fate.
The boy didn't speak, he remained silent, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, he hated this damn fate, he didn't even have the courage to hug the girl.
Seeing that the boy was silent, the expectation in the girl's eyes kept dimming a lot.
From the very beginning, you were the unexpected in my fate!
Li Jingcheng saw that Bai Jiaojiao was still in his arms, and said a word, but the volume of this sentence was very small, I don't know who it was said to, maybe he just said it.
"I'll never say goodbye again!"
Bai Jiaojiao raised her head in confusion, she didn't hear Li Jingcheng's words, she just felt that he said something.
"Aren't you hungry? Would you like to eat something? Li Jingcheng hurriedly said, he didn't know why he changed the topic, but he didn't want her to look at him with such innocent eyes.
Bai Jiaojiao's annoyed face flushed slightly when she heard this, and she was embarrassed and didn't know what to do? hurriedly got out of Li Jingcheng's arms and opened the distance between the two people.
Li Jingcheng laughed again when he saw this. Bai Jiaojiao, who watched it, looked a little annoyed and angry.
As soon as Li Jingcheng saw Bai Jiaojiao's blushing cheeks, he knew that he had to stop in time, and he couldn't continue joking. Hurriedly said: "Aren't you hungry?" Let's go eat! ”
Bai Jiaojiao put away the cute look of wanting to eat people.
Walking slowly behind Li Jingcheng, looking at the tall and handsome figure in front of her, Bai Jiaojiao was a little confused.
Not only did she look fourteen or fifteen years old, but her own mental age combined was thirty years old. But I don't know why.,There's a feeling of wanting to be close to this person.,It's very reliable.。
He, perhaps, is the mission she has crossed over.
Li Jingcheng walked in front and saw the slow little tail following her, and couldn't help but sneer again.
"The boss has trouble to bring a bowl of noodles and add a little more meat." Li Jingcheng said, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Jiaojiao after speaking.
"Okay, guest officer, do you need anything else?" The shopkeeper took care of him earnestly.
"Not for now." Li Jingcheng said briefly.
"Okay, then you wait a while, you have a cup of tea first, and I'll serve it to you when it's ready." The shopkeeper led Bai Jiaojiao and Li Jingcheng to the seats, poured a cup of tea, and then withdrew.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Li Jingcheng and said again, "Don't you eat it?" ”
Li Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I've already eaten." ”
When Bai Jiaojiao heard him say this, there was still a trace of disappointment in her heart.
Li Jingcheng saw that the little girl seemed to be unhappy again, so he secretly took out something from his arms and raised it in front of her.
"Stop pouting your little mouth, you can hang the oil bottle, what do you think this is?"
Bai Jiaojiao didn't notice it at first, but just glanced at it from the corner of her eye, it looked a little familiar, so she raised her head and wanted to take a closer look, only to see a money bag swaying in front of her, it was the one she had been robbed by the thief before, and her eyes were shining in an instant.
In fact, this money is not much, but this is the first time she has earned money by herself, so she cherishes it extraordinarily.
"Did you see me at this bazaar a long time ago, so why didn't you show up? How did you catch that thief? By the way, I also got the money back. Bai Jiaojiao said excitedly.
Li Jingcheng didn't answer, he didn't want to tell her that he had been following her all along, since she started selling wild fruits.
Bai Jiaojiao saw that Li Jingcheng didn't speak, but after thinking about it, she felt that the question she asked was a little silly, and said: "I am also strong in martial arts, like a god, you must be okay with this little thing." Now that you've got your money bag back, do you have anything you want to eat? Today I have a treat to repay you for your kindness. ”
When Li Jingcheng heard Bai Jiaojiao say this, he couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart, this was the first time someone had told him this. Even that man had never said such a thing.
