Chapter Twenty-Six: Pickpockets
However, what Kyoshiro and Shiina Yuya didn't know was that while they were discussing with each other, a pair of eyes were already on them from the depths of the street.
The eyes looked over the layers of children's figures and looked straight at Kyoshiro's body, and the man's eyes first carefully looked back and forth on Kyoshiro's body, and finally locked on the money bag that appeared on the chest of Kyoshiro's clothes.
In the eyes of that person, Kyoshiro seemed to have a disagreement with Shiina Yuya, and I saw Kyoshiro looking nervous and gesturing to Shiina Yuya while talking, and the clothes on his chest were loose because of the excessive range of movement, revealing the money bag inside.
As soon as it was too late, a figure suddenly rushed out from the inside of the street in the distance and ran straight to where Kyoshiro and the others were.
Kyoshiro, who was foaming at the mouth and arguing with Yuya, didn't notice that someone was approaching him quickly, and he didn't turn his head in shock until the man pulled the money bag on his chest, but the man was already spreading his legs and was about to run away.
At this moment, Yuya Yuya, who was quick-eyed, came back from her surprise and reached out and grabbed the man's hand, which was about to retract.
"Don't mess around, you pickpocket!" Shiina Yuya grabbed the man's hand and shouted loudly, but her face was a little stunned the moment she saw the man: "Little ...... Child? ”
"Let it go...... Let me go! ”
It was a little boy of eleven or twelve, and at the moment he was struggling to escape from Yuya Shiina's hands, but where could his arm be twisted over his thigh, and after trying to no avail, he could only negotiate with Yuya Shiina.
"Everyone, run away!"
When the children who had gathered around Kyoshiro and Yuya Shiina saw this scene, the expressions on their faces instantly changed from longing to fear, and they ran away in a swarm, screaming as they ran.
"Let go of me,, let go!" The little boy began to struggle again, twisting his arm that was grabbed by Yuya Shiina.
"I'm not going to let go!" Shiina Yuya's stubborn temper also came up.,The grip on her hand is even greater.,What's the matter.,Obviously she's a pickpocket.,And you look right!
"Let it go!"
"Don't let it go!"
"Good...... Uncomfortable...... "The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and Kyoshiro, who was between the two, had already rolled his eyes, and the money bag hanging around his neck was snatched by two people, and his neck was about to be strangled by the two.
"Let go of Brother Jiatai! My big brother isn't bad! At that moment, a voice with a hint of anger suddenly sounded from the other side of the street.
"Huh?" Shiina Yuya looked over curiously and found that it was a little girl of four or five years old, quite cute, with big eyes.
"Big brother is not a bad guy, big brother is ...... by those guys"
"Stupid, don't say it! If you talk too much, I'll beat you, you know? The little boy named Mrs. Jia quickly interrupted Ah Miao's words, and he stared fiercely at his troubled sister and scolded loudly.
"Uh......h Woo......" Ah Miao looked at her fierce brother with an aggrieved face, with tears in her big eyes, she put her hand to her mouth, her mouth was already open, as if she would cry in the next second.
"Fool, don't cry! Alas...... Stupid! Seeing that Ah Miao was about to cry, Kota simply didn't even want the money bag in his hand, he threw the money bag at Shiina Yuya, and then broke free from her palm in Shiina Yuya's stunned gaze and ran in front of his sister.
"Big brother doesn't care, don't you cry, understand?" Mrs. Jia lowered her head and looked at her sister with a weeping expression, and said seriously.
"Uh......h Well, I understand......" Xiao Amiao raised her head to look at her brother's face, and said with tears rolling in her eyes.
"Don't cry, look, the snot is coming out...... Mrs. A thought about it, but still reached out and pinched Ah Miao's cute little face, and wiped her snot for her.
No one noticed that Shiina stood there watching the siblings in a daze, and the familiar scene played out again in her mind.
"Don't cry...... Don't cry, by the night, I'll protect you, so don't cry, by the night......"
Shiina Yuya kept her head down and was silent, she didn't know how long it had been since she heard such a familiar and gentle voice, so long that she had almost forgotten it.
"Mrs. A, don't be a pickpocket, it's not a good thing!" Kyoshiro came to the side of the brother and sister, he squatted down, patted Kota on the shoulder, and said with a seductive smile.
"Don't talk cool there! What do you know? Kota didn't appreciate it at all, shook off Kyoshiro's hand on his shoulder, and said unceremoniously.
"If you want to live, you have to have money! For people like us whose parents died in the war, I can do anything for money, whether it's for an independent man or for my sister, if you want to be a good person, then give me money! ”
'Bang-' Shiina Yuya, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly walked over from the side, and she threw a dozen copper plates from her hand to the ground.
"This ...... What does that mean? Mrs. Jia subconsciously took a step back, he looked down at the copper plate on the ground, and asked in surprise.
"If you want money so much, pick it up quickly!" Shiina Yuya pointed to the copper plate on the ground and said sharply.
"What...... What the? I'm not a beggar! Mrs. A said angrily that he was not the kind of beggar who would not know anything but begging for food.
"So what are you? Do you think being a pickpocket is better than being a beggar? Is that what an independent man should do? Your self-esteem that you can steal things but can't pick them up, I think it's better to throw it away! ”
The expression on Yuya Shiina's face was so serious for the first time, and she looked at Kota with some hatred, and scolded sharply.
"Hmm......" A was speechless, he wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.
"Whoa." Shiina Yuya lowered his body and picked up the copper plates on the ground one by one, then walked up to Kota, who gritted his teeth and said nothing, and spread his palm and handed it to him.
"I ...... I don't want your charity! Jia Taiwei dodged backwards in fear, and he said with a somewhat nervous expression.
"I didn't say I'll give it to you, you help us move our luggage to the nearest hotel!" Yuya Shiina said with one hand pinching his waist and shaking his index finger with the other.
"Who...... Who said you should do what you say! Mrs. Jia was stunned for a moment, and then screamed.
"The so-called ambition, there are times when you should insist on it and times when you don't need to insist on it, and the stronger the self-esteem, the easier it is to hurt his self-esteem, so you must not make a mistake at the time, whether it is for yourself or for your beloved!"
Shiina Yuya didn't bother with him after saying these words, and she walked forward without looking back, leaving behind a piece of luggage and Kota standing there stunned.
……
The sun was about to set, and on a grassy slope outside the village sat a silent little boy with his head bowed, and behind him was his sister.
"Oh...... Butterfly! Ah Miao saw a beautiful butterfly flying in the sky, she blinked her eyes wide, opened her hands and chased after it intently.
Kota spread out his palms, and in the palm of his hand was the money he had obtained for helping Shiina Yuya carry his luggage, and he looked at the copper plates silently, and couldn't help but think of what Shiina Yuya said to him.
"Whether it's for yourself or for the sake of your loved ones......"
He hugged his legs, let the breeze blow away from the countless green grasses that crawled from afar, and only lowered his head and didn't look at anything.
"Hey, Mrs. Jia!" Someone behind him suddenly sneered and called his name, and Mrs. Jia looked up in surprise to find that it was two people, one fat and one thin, and the only thing these two people had in common was their fierce appearance.
"You're too late, aren't you? What's the takeaway today? Sister Ah Ge is waiting, let's go! ”
