Chapter 68: The Big Black Umbrella Hidden in My Arms
In the north of Chang'an City, there is a street near the palace called Dregs Street, because all the waste in the palace will be put on this street and then sent out of the city. The garbage for many years has given this street the title of scum street, and there are all kinds of ** smells along the street for two miles, except for wild cats and wild dogs on the street, the rest are rats running around.
The people who live in Dregs Street are the most humble and insignificant existence in Chang'an City, and were once regarded as a cancer that endangers the stability and prosperity of the capital. Because the people in Dregs Street are all orphans, they have no one to rely on, they can only live by picking up food discarded by others in the garbage heap, and if they are lucky, they will find some more valuable objects in it, and then take them to the market to sell. But more people will choose more convenient means such as stealing and robbing.
Therefore, Dregs Street is the most chaotic place in Chang'an City, these orphans don't look young, but all of them are masters who don't want to die, and there are countless people who form gangs, even the big men in Chang'an City don't want to provoke them.
At this moment, the sky is raining heavily, the dark clouds are hiding rolling thunder, and the gloomy atmosphere is particularly dignified in the scum street. The rain soaked the garbage, the rancid smell of spoiled food was disgusting, and a few children in the street who were all dressed in darkness were looking for food in the garbage heaps, and they suddenly saw a man wearing a hat and soaking wet walking down the street with some curiosity.
Dregs Street is rarely visited by outsiders, and every face inside has been seen to a greater or lesser extent. Although the man wearing a hat in the rain is dressed plainly, the feeling between his steps and steps does not seem to be ordinary people. The children living on the scum street all had a pair of vicious eyes, and they could see that the person in front of them was not easy to mess with, and several children scattered without saying a word.
The man with the hat on the street calmly took it off and threw it in the direction of a child's escape. The hat came out of his hand and spun rapidly in mid-air, breaking up a curtain of rain and accurately hitting the knee of a fleeing child.
"Ouch!"
The child stumbled, fell to the ground and ate a mouthful of rainwater, and when he got up in a panic to run again, he found that a large strong hand had grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Do you know Xia Shang?"
The captured child looked dazed, and the rain kept washing his wooden expression, looking like a fool who had lost his soul.
The child did not answer, but looked at each other with fearful eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
"Don't pretend! Honestly, there are benefits to you! ”
After saying that, the comer showed a silver ingot.
The silver emitted this dazzling luster in the rain, and the child's eyes lit up instantly, and the previous wooden light disappeared in an instant, and he got up from the ground in a nutshell, and smiled flatteringly: "Xia Shang! Know know! But he hasn't been back to Dregs Street for a long time, and he doesn't know if he's dead or what? ”
After saying that, the child took the silver and put it into his arms contentedly.
"Then do you know who is the best person in Xia Shang on Dregs Street?"
"Xia Shang's sworn friend? Of course, it's Sun Monkey. ”
"I'll let you say your name!"
"Eh, eh! Uncle, I was wrong. That person's name is Sun Hou, Hou is the Hou of the Marquis, because he is thin, so he is called Sun Monkey. ”
"Do you know where Sun Hou is? Take me to him. ”
"Well...... Uncle, you see that it is raining so heavily now, I am afraid that it is a little difficult to find someone, and I don't know where the monkey is hiding from the rain at the moment? ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Lead the way. So saying, the comer found another minot.
……
In the backyard of the Sai's house, Xia Shang was still hiding in the kitchen and watching the rain.
No matter how he looked at it, Xia Shang always felt that the ancient scenery was so beautiful in any situation, especially the unobstructed sky, where he could easily see the end of the dark clouds.
The rain didn't mean to get any less. Gradually, the disadvantages of ancient times were reflected, and the waterholes on the ground in the backyard were getting bigger and bigger, and it would not be long before they became an ocean. The kitchen is located on a low terrain, the rainwater is accumulating little by little, and the house is a little flooded, and the scope of Xia Shangneng's activities is getting smaller and smaller.
This couldn't help but make Xia Shang a little hesitant, the rain didn't know when it would stop, but the kitchen would be flooded soon.
"What's going on here? Come and send me an umbrella with a kind person! ”
As soon as he finished thinking about it, a petite figure appeared outside the window, wearing a rain of grain and grass, curled up, and his little feet jumped towards the kitchen like a ballet.
Gu Cao completely covered her body, and it wasn't until she entered the kitchen that Xia Shang recognized that this was Sang Sang.
Although Sang Sang was wearing a rain coat, the rainstorm outside drenched her, and after throwing the rain aside, she found that her hair was still wet and dripping water, and her body and face were also covered with rain, and her little face was blue and shivering from the cold.
"Sangsang! Why are you here in such heavy rain? ”
Sang Sang didn't realize how embarrassed he was, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "With such a heavy rain, the kitchen will be flooded in a short time. Are you hiding in there and not suffering? Well, for you. ”
After speaking, Sang Sang actually took out a big black umbrella from his arms!
Xia Shang didn't pay attention to the existence of the big black umbrella at all, it was really Sang Sang who hid it too tightly, and now he remembered that she was bowed when she came, as if she was protecting the big black umbrella from the rain.
Looking at Sangsang Wuqing's small mouth, the appearance of his lips trembling from time to time, as well as the wet hair, the rain that was drenched by the rain, and then look at the big black umbrella that was as clean as a brand-new one......
Inexplicably, Xia Shang's heart seemed to stop beating, which made him not know what to say.
"You...... You...... Thank you ......"
"Oh, stop talking nonsense, take the umbrella and go to your house, it's good to hide from the rain."
Saying that, Sang Sang didn't care about Xia Shang's expression, and forcibly stuffed the big black umbrella into Xia Shang's arms, then quickly turned his head, picked up the discarded rain and prepared to wear it on his body.
This series of movements was fast, but Xia Shang still noticed the shyness that flashed on Sang Sang's face the moment he turned around.
"Wait!"
Xia Shang grabbed Sang Sang, who was about to go out in the rain, and as soon as he used his strength, Sang Sang's petite body crashed into Xia Shang's arms.
A unique smell of a man instantly filled Sangsang's nose, causing her heart to jump out, struggling: "What are you doing?!" ”
"Such a big umbrella is enough for two people, let's go together."
"Let's ......," Sang Sang muttered, too ashamed to look up.
When he didn't pay attention, the rain that he had just put on was taken off by Xia Shang and thrown aside, he opened the big black umbrella with one hand and put the other hand on Sangsang's fragrant shoulder: "Let's go." ”
Sang Sang was dizzy, I don't know if she was cold just now or too confused now, in short, when she came back to her senses, she found that she was already standing in the middle of the backyard, and a few steps further to the higher ground on the opposite side, which was drier.
And at this moment, the handsome guy next to him has never let go of his hand on his shoulder, he has a lot of strength, he hugs it very tightly, and his little shoulders are so hot...... As for the torrential rain at the moment? was already thrown out of the clouds by the little girl.
