"Hmm," the man casually responded to the stall owner's words, seemingly a little absent-minded, and from time to time, the corner of his eyes glanced in the direction of Mu Xiyao and them.

Closer, closer, closer and closer to themselves, but ...... Hehe......

"Guest officer, I don't know which mask you look at?" The old man curled up and shivered in the cold wind.

"Frost, Frost, look, there are masks for sale here!" Mu Xiyao shouted, stopped behind the man, and pushed the man, "Hey, you've been standing here for a long time, can you walk away if you don't buy it!" Miss Ben is going to choose a beautiful mask for her girl! "This person is so strange, he has been standing in this stall for almost half an hour, what is he doing?

The man's back seemed to pause, and then he casually picked up a somewhat broken mask that could only cover the part above the tip of his nose, put it on his face, and randomly put an ingot of five taels of silver on the folding wooden table with the mask, and whispered, "Old man, it's cold, these five taels of broken silver should be the money for you to warm up!" After speaking, he turned to Mu Xiyao and smiled, "I'm sorry, Xiaosheng disturbed the girl's interest, Xiaosheng will leave now, and ask the two girls to play slowly." ”

After saying that, he turned and walked in the direction of the city gate.

"Huh..... Sir..... Son! The mask is broken! It's broken! It's not worth that much! The old man trembled and stretched out his hand, picked up the five taels of silver, looked around, carefully put it into his shabby clothes, and chattered in his mouth, "Good man, this boy is a good man...... I wish a good person a safe life, and I thank my son here! With that, he bowed deeply in the direction of the man's departure.

When Mu Xiyao listened to this voice, she just felt a little gentle, spoiled, and a little estranged, she blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the direction where the person was gone, what happened to this person? Sick, right? A mask is worth five taels of silver? There is a lot of money in the house and there is nowhere to spend?

"Boring guy," she pouted at the man's back and looked at the old man with a grin, "Grandpa~"

"Eh, girl, what's the matter?" The old man asked, these two girls look quiet and quiet, and their clothes are a little ordinary, but they give people a very comfortable feeling, they should be young ladies from small families, right? It's just that she's too pretty, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous if no one is around to protect you......

"That, old man, I want to ask you something," Mu Xiyao continued to ask with a smile, "What does that person look like just now?" "Heh, why do you wear a mask in front of Miss Ben? The tone is still so gentle and spoiled, do we know each other!?

"What do you look like..... the old man thought for a while, "girl, you're embarrassed for me, that guest officer, ah no, son, looks quite ordinary, just like ..... It's like...... Well...... Put it in the pile and find it

Not out of that kind. ”

"Oh......" she nodded, tugging at Frost beside her, "Frost, you choose the mask!" "This girl, why was she suddenly stunned, has she been hungry for a long time?

"Huh? Miss, what? Shuang'er was indeed stunned for a moment, the back just now, she was really familiar with it, wasn't it Mr. Shu who usually followed Miss? But..... The sound and tone of the clothes are different...... By the way, Mr. Shu is so ordinary, and now that I think about it, I can't remember what he looks like...... Maybe I'm overthinking.....

"Miss Ben told you to choose a mask!" Mu Xiyao pretended to be slightly angry, "You girl! What do you want to be so fascinated! Are you thinking about that Xiao Gongzi? In the last sentence, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Shuang'er's ear, and the voice was as ambiguous as it was......

Shuang'er only felt that the tips of her ears were red, and quickly lowered her head to pick up the mask, her voice was like the mosquito moaning, "Miss, you are making fun of other people's ...... again" So, is it Mr. Shu? She forgot to think about it herself.

I saw that on the stall, the colorful mask dazzled her eyes, and she couldn't help but admire, "Old man, your mask is also so good!" As he spoke, he gave the old man a thumbs up, "Awesome! ”

"Hehe," the old man was also overjoyed to hear it, he was poor and destitute all his life, he had no children and no daughters under his knees, fortunately he had the skill of making a mask so that he would not go hungry, but he didn't expect it to be like this, sweet on his lips, and then he met so many well-wishers, one after another in the cold winter, and he survived like this, "Oh, my daughter has won the award, and I will only make so many masks to make a living, what do you like, just pick it!" ”

"Hmm!" Shuang'er nodded and pulled Mu Xiyao over, "Miss, come and see, what do you want to bring?" ”

"This!" Mu Xiyao picked up a grimace mask, haha, it must be very fun for Shuang'er to wear!

Shuang'er frowned, "This is too ugly, isn't it?" I want that rat's! She pointed to the far corner of the stall, where a mouse-like mask was placed.

"You want rats?" Mu Xiyao blinked, "Hahaha, that Miss Ben wants that cat!" Mice are afraid of cats! ”

"Miss!"

"Are you a young lady or am I a young lady! Hee-hee-hee! That's it! ”

"Humph!"

"Ouch, ouch, angry, angry, let's go back, don't eat the big meal! Just go back and eat some leftovers! Saying that, Mu Xiyao wanted to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey—" Frost quickly grabbed her, "Okay, okay, I want a mouse, Miss, you want a cat!" Hum! Miss knows how to bully people! ”

"This is good~" Mu Xiyao stood on tiptoe and rubbed Shuang'er's head funny, and suddenly, she was stunned and paused in her hand

Under...... This action ...... How..... Are you so familiar? It feels like ..... Someone used to do the same to Miss Ben..... Who is it.....

"Miss?" Frost gently took her hand, what's wrong with Miss? Did you remember something again?

Mu Xiyao shook her head and picked up the two masks, "I'm fine, I just thought of something, by the way, Shuang'er, pay for it!" "She doesn't have any money on her! There's nowhere to put money either!

"Well," Shuang'er nodded, and asked the old man, "Old man, how many silver taels are two masks?" "Usually she carries silver when she goes out, and she usually doesn't put copper coins, so she subconsciously asks.

"How many silver taels?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Two girls, I've been selling masks for so many years, and there's nothing else, just the price is cheap, just ten copper plates!" ”

"Oh, okay," Frost said, taking the bag she was carrying, opening it and glancing at it, counting as she counted, "ten...... Well? She suddenly reacted, "How much?!" ”

The index fingers of the old man's two hands were crossed together, "Ten copper plates, what's wrong with the girl?" If only there weren't so much, there could be less! "He's a little nervous, isn't he, looking at a person in such a bright and beautiful clothes, doesn't he have any money on him?

Mu Xiyao knew that he had misunderstood as soon as he saw his reaction, "No, old man, the main thing is that we are afraid that you will not be able to find it!" "Something out there...... Are they all so cheap..... Are you afraid that you won't be able to sell it...... My heart..... How is it like putting a stone, some, out of breath......

"Can't find it?" The old man was stunned again, how could he not find it? Could it be that the money you brought with you will be more than the five taels of silver that the boy gave just now?

"Miss....." Shuang'er leaned down in embarrassment and whispered in Mu Xiyao's ear, "The smallest in my bag is ten taels of silver, what should I do?" ”

"What to do?" Mu Xiyao said directly, "Isn't it okay to give it all to the old man?" It's not easy to see him live! Just be kind! ”

"Well," Shuang'er nodded in response, she liked her young lady's point, kind-hearted, "Okay," her hand gently grabbed a silver ingot and put it on the old man's stall, "Thank you, old man, we're leaving, I hope we'll see you next time, goodbye!" ”

"Well, goodbye, goodbye!" Watching the two leave, the old man waved his hand, looking at the silver ingots on his stall, his eyes straightened-

The eyes of the surrounding vendors were also full of envy, jealousy and hatred-

On that stall, there was a piece of silver ten taels of silver!

The old man hurriedly took the silver tael into his arms, closed the stall, and muttered, "Today, I met a living Bodhisattva, I met a living Bodhisattva!" Thank you! Thank you! That boy and those two girls are all immortals! Thank you

Yes! As he spoke, he kowtowed a few times on the snow as he walked straight north, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

Thanks-

The voice of gratitude came into the ears of Mu Xiyao and Shuang'er from afar.

Mu Xiyao smiled softly, ten taels of silver, maybe for herself, the burden is not very big, but for those who are relatively poor and self-reliant, it is a send-off, the best help, which is also ...... Hard-working people, one day, will hand over good luck!

After a while, they stopped.

"Oh, it's here," Mu Xiyao pulled Shuang'er, "Look, this is it!" ”

Shuang'er looked up and saw that it was a very luxurious double-storey restaurant, with five big characters written on the top - wonton fresh!

"Why didn't I know about this?" Shuang'er was a little puzzled, and glanced at Mu Xiyao, how did Miss know?

Mu Xiyao looked at the person who walked out of the restaurant with some surprise, that person ......

"You...... How did you get out of here? Didn't you go in the direction of outside the city?! ”
