Chapter 3: Showmanship

Since there was no exact ruler in Shahai City, the orcs guarding the gates of the city, the warriors of the human race did not collect the entrance fee as in other places.

Although the inside of Shahai City is dangerous, it is far much safer than outside the city, at least there will be no tragedy of killing people without saying a word.

In this way, the old man entered the city with the little stone without danger. As soon as I entered the city, a bustling atmosphere suddenly came to my face.

"Grandpa, it's so prosperous here, there are so many strange races. As soon as he entered the city, the little stone on the old beggar's back couldn't help but ask.

It's so bustling here, and I've just entered the city, and I've not only seen a dazzling array of goods on both sides of the street, but also a variety of people.

There are rabbit-eared people with fluffy animal ears, there are also white fox tribes with tails and snow-white long hair, and there are even giant clans with a height of five or six meters, etc.

It can be said that Shahai City is like a hodgepodge, gathering various ethnic groups to inhabit.

The old beggar smiled, and did not say nothing, but carried a small stone on his back, carried a rectangular wooden box, and walked forward on his own.

Shahai City is very dangerous, if you want to survive safely here, you must be low-key and honest, talk less, and do more.

The little stone, who had not received an answer from the old beggar, also made a fuss, blinking his big bright eyes and looking around intently.

Compared to the small temple he stayed in before, Shahai City was completely different. This trip was just the right time to open his eyes.

After walking around Shahai City for a while with a small stone, the old beggar found a place where the human race gathered the most, and chose a place that was relatively open and did not obstruct traffic.

After glancing at the surrounding environment, the old beggar pointed to the corner of the wall next to the small stone and instructed: "Little stone, grandpa is about to start working, you have to stay well, don't be naughty." ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, his bright eyes flashed and flashed, and the little fat hand raised his hand and patted his small chest.

"Grandpa, I'll be obedient. ”

The old beggar nodded, began to open his rectangular wooden box, and began to make preparations. Little Stone has been very sensible since he was a child, and he is not as naughty as other children.

The crowd did not pay attention to the appearance of the old beggar and the little stone, and did not come to look for trouble because of the old beggar and the little stone's ragged clothes.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Shahai City is really too big. Moreover, they are naturally not willing to risk punishment and kill.

Because, the location of the old beggars is very close to the army sent by the Terrans in Shahai City.

The old beggar is smart, and there is no place in this sand sea city that is safest under the noses of the army.

Xiaoshi was a little depressed, although he promised the old beggar to be obedient and not naughty, but with a child's nature, how much can he sit quietly?

I saw him clinging to the old beggar, squatting with his little buttocks, and sitting down directly against the corner. Then the little fat hand lifted the collar and pulled out a small cloth bag of about twenty centimeters from the inside.

Then the little fat hand was bala, and he quickly opened the small cloth bag and took out a cyan bamboo flute that was only about 20 centimeters.

The moment he saw the cyan bamboo flute, Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and after a few seconds of smirking, he put the cyan bamboo flute to his mouth.

As an old beggar, how could Xiao Shi not understand musical instruments?

Soon, there was a crisp and pleasant sound of bamboo flute in the corner of the wall.

At the moment when the bamboo flute sounded, people coming and going nearby couldn't help but cast their eyes out of curiosity. But at the moment when I saw a child who was only six or seven years old playing a small bamboo flute, the surprise in my heart was even stronger.

When it comes to new things, people's enthusiasm is always so inexplicable.

The bamboo flute played by the small stone is not bad, on the contrary, it is very pleasant to the ear, and the high and low tones at that time are more like a stream flowing slowly, continuously.

For a while, the old beggar who sorted out the musical instruments was also stunned, looked at his grandson, and then looked at the crowd that was slowly gathering, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he silently put down the erhu in his hand.

Although the small stone is still small, it is definitely not low to be familiar with the bamboo flute performance.

At this moment, the performance of the little stone is nearing the end.

Under the golden light, it reveals a faint innocence unique to a child, hitting the deepest part of the hearts of the onlookers, purifying and washing their souls.

At the end of the song, Xiaoshi took away the cyan bamboo flute, and his little face was red and fluttering, panting heavily.

It's not that easy to play. Besides, he is still a child who is only seven years old, and it is not easy to play such a flute sound.

"Smack. ”

Suddenly, there was a round of applause, it was a woman in the crowd of onlookers. Then, thunderous applause suddenly rang out.

"Bang Bang !!"

......

On the coast of Shahai City, a few kilometers away, a sailboat flying a pirate flag slowly stopped, retracted its sails, and lowered a small boat.

Beside the boat, there was a Terran man dressed in white cloth and carrying a sword pinned to his waist.

"Captain, go early and come back early. Martial law has begun here in Shahai City. On the ship, the crew of the cow head reminded him.

The man nodded, "I know." ”

Picking up the oars, the man began rowing, gradually approaching the shore of Shahai City.

........

"Thank you for your support, thank you for your support. ”

Holding the iron plate and looking at the increasing currency, the old beggar smiled.

He never imagined that his grandson would be even more popular than himself and would be appreciated by so many people. Knowing this, he should have taken his grandson with him in the first few cities.

On the other side, Xiao Shi blinked his big bright eyes and looked at the woman in front of him curiously. Raising the cyan bamboo flute in his hand, he asked crisply, "Do you want my bamboo flute?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the small stone. The woman is not very beautiful, but she is not bad either, at least she can be regarded as one in a hundred.

Especially at the moment when she smiled, she was even more humble, and invisibly narrowed the distance between her and Xiaoshi.

Looking at the dirty child in front of her, the woman involuntarily reached out and touched the latter's little head, and said softly: "The bamboo flute you play is very good, I like it very much." ”

As she spoke, a faint light slipped from her palm into the body of the small stone.

"Thank you, sister. Little Stone grinned, unaware.

Feeling the return of the light, the woman's eyes lit up, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet, "polite" smile.

Under the palm of his hand, a grinning little stone suddenly rose in his heart, pouting, and his big eyes were full of doubts.

"What's the matter with this sister, why do you feel that her eyes are so scary?"

At this moment, Xiao Shi was really depressed and looked at the woman blankly.

And just when Xiaoshi was about to break free from the woman's palm and help the old beggar collect the money, the woman spoke up again.

"Will you come with me? I like you very much. ”

When the old beggar who collected the money heard this, he hurriedly ran over with an iron plate containing the money and apologized to the woman: "I'm really sorry, girl, my grandson is not sensible." ”

"It's okay, I don't blame him. After a pause, she looked at the old beggar, her gaze rested on the patch on the latter's body, and smiled: "I like your grandson very much, can you let him go with me?"

"This?" For a moment, the old beggar was dumbfounded.

With her pretty face and elegant posture, although her clothes were not luxurious, just standing there gave the old beggar a touch that she could not reach.

It was something he had never seen before, and the old beggar held his breath.

To tell the truth, the old beggar was actually willing in his heart. Like other old people, he also hopes that his grandson can live well and survive innocently.

And this is exactly what the old beggar thinks he can't do. And this woman ......

"I'll take good care of him for you and won't let him get hurt. The woman added softly.

The old beggar was silent and did not answer immediately.

And the little stone that had been beside him looked at the woman, and then at his grandfather, and then took two small short legs, timidly hid behind the old beggar, and said to the woman: "I don't want it!"
