"Brother" Lin Xiao, who was walking side by side, suddenly pulled Lin Chaoge's sleeve, paused, and opened his mouth timidly.

The crowd is loud, and if you don't pay attention, you will hide into the crowd.

The snow reflects the full moon, the night sky is full of fireworks and lanterns, and the lanterns are colorful.

"Huh?" Lin Chaoge felt a little and looked far away in the direction he was looking at, through the delicate girl in the pink shirt and thin skirt, behind the young man in the green jade and white shirt, there was originally a vendor who bought rock sugar gourds, Lin Xiaoxu smelled it, and was a little greedy.

When God closes one door for you, he often opens another window for you.

The bright brown sugar gourd wrapped in a layer of golden sugar buds emitted an alluring light under the refraction of the colorful lanterns, and even she could smell the sweet and sour fragrance from a distance, and couldn't help but want to get close and buy a bunch to quench her cravings.

"Brother, let's go, I just heard someone performing a lion dance in front of me, and Xiao Er has a toothache and doesn't like to eat sweet things" Lin Chaoge stopped suddenly, but Lin Xiao could guess a few points, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve and left.

His face was so ashamed that he couldn't hide himself, and he couldn't wait to bite off his tongue that was talking nonsense,

He and his brother were rootless beggars, and where did they get the money to buy luxury things when they didn't eat enough on weekdays, and they couldn't help but feel annoyed that he shouldn't have spoken out.

Under the lantern of a thousand trees, Lin Chaoge looked down at the appearance of the person biting his lip and being annoyed, with a lot of thoughts, this child was so obedient and sensible that it was heart-wrenching, Lin Chaoge touched the only two copper coins in his pocket, and took Lin Xiao's hand and walked in the direction of the vendor who bought sugar gourds.

The straw stick with the sugar gourd is particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and there are many people picking and choosing next to it, wanting to choose the reddest and largest string.

"Boss, how to buy this sugar gourd".

"The two pennies are a string, full of pieces, guaranteed to be sweet and sour" The boss is a kind old man in his sixties, with a snow-white beard, wearing a gray short hat and a gray felt hat.

"Brother, I don't want to eat sugar gourds, isn't it good for us to go to the front to watch the play" Lin Xiao uneasily pulled Lin Chaoge's sleeve and squeezed into the crowd, he didn't want to eat sugar gourds, these children are just eating, he is already an adult.

"Boss, please give me a string of sugar gourds" Lin Chaoge handed over the only two copper coins in the bag, ignoring Lin Xiao's weak and important little strength.

This child is good at everything, but sometimes the well-behaved is too distressing, even if she is shy in her pocket, the money for a sugar gourd is still squeezing.

"Brother, I don't like to eat sugar gourds, let's hurry up, okay" Lin Xiao pulled Lin Chao and the singer was still not giving up and was about to squeeze into the crowd.

"Haole, this little brother, your sugar gourd" The old man could see from the clothes on them that he did not have a lot of money, and he couldn't help but look at the hand they held from beginning to end.

"Thank you, uncle" Lin Chaoge stretched out his hand to take it, but he looked at the string of sugar gourds handed over by the old man with some puzzlement, and refused to reach out to take it.

"Uncle...... This is? ”

"Tonight is the Lantern Festival, this extra string of sugar gourds will be used as a gift from the old man to the two of you" The old man undoubtedly stuffed the sugar gourd into Lin Xiao's hand, carried the straw gourd stick and walked towards the crowded place, and soon disappeared.

The two of them held a sugar gourd in one hand and were stunned in place.

"Brother, I... This..."Lin Xiao held up the sugar gourd that was forcibly stuffed into his hand, raised his head and asked Lin Chaoge, who was half a head taller than him, he wanted to throw it but was reluctant, his lips squirmed for a long time, and he couldn't say why.

"Since the old man is kind, you can take it, it just happens that we have one for each person, isn't it" Lin Chaoge reached out and stroked the top of Lin Xiao's rough hair, and smiled indulgently.

Biting off a bright red hawthorn wrapped in honey-colored caramel, in fact, life is not as bad as she thought, everything has a fate, and this world is not too bad.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the two walked together, appreciated the beauty of the Chang'an lanterns, and put the bamboo lantern without a candle as the core, and the dim and dull bamboo lantern prayed for the dead people in the Lin Mansion.

At night, the two of them put on dirty and smelly clothes by the lake not far from the ruined temple and returned to the ruined temple.

Lin Xiao, who had the residual taste of sugar in his mouth, had a dream at night, the dream was full of sweet and sour, the taste of sugar gourd, he held a person's hand and walked in the lonely Chang'an, the palm seemed to be warm to dispel all the haze, so that the corner of his mouth kept hanging a sweet smile.

Lin Chaoge didn't feel much sleepy tonight, sitting quietly next to Lin Xiao by the haystack, holding his cheeks and thinking about how to go next, and who was secretly arranging and trapping her to the point where Lin Xiao and the Lin family were killed, her eyes were hateful, her fists were clenched, she swore that she would not let go of any of them, absolutely!

The next day, the sky was gray and bright, Lin Chaoge, who had not slept all night, walked out with heavy blue-gray circles under his eyes, paused at a point of observation for a long time, with a broken bowl at his feet, his messy flea-covered hair covered most of his face, his bloodless thin lips were half-pursed, his eyes were fierce, and he swept to the occasional passerby from time to time.

She's waiting, she's waiting for someone.

A vital person.

Time is slipping away quietly, and the number of people in the downtown street is gradually increasing, but no one cares about the extra dirty little beggars under this corner.

Bustling back and forth, Lin Chaoge crossed his legs from beginning to end, and the old monk settled in the same posture.

The others were not surprised, for they had been watching such a tricky little beggar sitting here cross-legged for several days, not begging for money, not shouting loudly, and third, ignoring even those who were kind to the charity, and having a very arrogant temper.

Even the other beggars who passed by showed a look of fear, and those who were far away from her, coming and going, naturally attracted the attention of others.

Some people find it interesting, and some people naturally look down on it, and they can only say that there are all kinds of beings, and there are all kinds of beings.

Lin Chaoge, who was sitting in the corner of the wall, was squinting his eyes, leaning against the corner of the wall and taking a nap, not afraid of looking at the sarcastic gaze around, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic loneliness, she was waiting, waiting for someone, and the wisher took the bait.

The sun is getting bigger, the sun is in the sky, and most of the pedestrians coming and going on the street are less, and they all dodge, not wanting to get sick under this scorching sun, Lin Chaoge hid in the shade and looked at all beings, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this person would not appear today.

After waiting for a while, even thinking that Lin Xiao in the broken temple should wake up, his face could not hide his disappointment, he had not eaten for a day, he was hungry in his stomach, and he was getting more and more vicious, it was really unbearable, after waiting for so long, maybe that person would not appear today.

Packing up and preparing to go home, he grabbed the three copper coins in the broken bowl, just one steamed bun and one meat bun, which was enough.

Looking up at the sky speechlessly, this is when the person she was waiting for will appear, but it is really a big problem.

"Boss, a meat bun and steamed bun" The business of the steamed bun shop was as good as ever, and she came just in time for the boss to take a break at noon and prepare to close.

There are many steamed bun shops in Chang'an, Lin Chaoge only prefers this one, the skin is soft and fragrant, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the gravy is wonderful in the mouth.

"Okay, take it" The owner of the steamed bun shop was not surprised by this little beggar who had come to her house to buy steamed buns for several days in a row, and handed over the wrapped oiled paper bag with a smile.

After Lin Chaoge squatted in the corner of the wall with cold water and ate the steamed buns, after waiting for the temperature of the buns to be right, he carefully wrapped them and stuffed them into the placket again, patted them to cover them up, and walked quickly in the direction of the broken temple.

On the way, I passed by a plaque with white Yuxuan bronzing big characters, and I didn't notice that someone happened to pass by, and I just wanted to stagger a few steps to leave, so as not to get into trouble that shouldn't be caused.

I didn't think about it, I don't know who suddenly pushed her in the crowd, her steps were sloppy, Lin Chaoge showed her eyebrows slightly, and some physiologically disgusted other people's bodies were staggered a few steps, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Someone! Someone stole something" Immediately after a group of short beats of gray-clothed people chased after him, Lin Chaoge, who was already a little unstable in his center of gravity, was crowded by the crowd and pushed.

"Catch the thief and don't let him run!" One after the other.

"I saw that it was the dirty little boy who stole it just now," someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and those who were close turned their heads to look.

Lin Chaoge felt bad, whether this was intentional or unintentional planting, she would be the unlucky one, and if she lost a layer of skin, her life would be lost.

No one in a society of indifference will sympathize with a weak person, especially a beggar.

Run, the only thought in her mind is to run, not to mention that Lin Xiao is still waiting for her to go back in the broken temple, she can't be caught, even if she is wronged.

"Hurry up, don't let that Hanako run away," another member of the crowd stretched out his hand to accuse, implying fanning the flames.

"Phew, he must be a thief with a weak heart and a plan to abscond in fear of crime, and those who have been corrupted these years are all beggars."

"Let's just say, I'll just say let the adults drive the beggars out of the city as soon as possible, it's dirty to death, and the tension insults the beauty of our Chang'an."

The onlookers who don't know the truth will often stand on what they think is the highest moral point of human beings, and then they will be disgusting, and if the needle does not stick to their body, they will never feel pain, and the same is true.

Lin Chaoge took advantage of the day of begging in Chang'an, and went to the dark and narrow alley to drill around, her eyes were pitch black, she wanted to shake off those people and then go back to the broken temple, she couldn't hurt Lin Xiao.

Chasing people on his body is not a vegetarian, and with the fact that a native is not able to catch a foreigner, it is only a matter of time.

In addition, the old injuries on his body have not healed, and it is extremely difficult to run.

In June, July and August, the weather is changing, the morning is still a scorching day, and the afternoon is a downpour, and the momentum is unstoppable.

Those who planned to go out in the afternoon to go to the appointment of beautiful talents had to shake their heads and regret it, hating this old man for not being long-sighted and mistaking his marriage.
