Chapter 14: My Hand Betrays My Heart
The next day, Lin Manxue was woken up by Fang Lian in a daze, Lin Manxue looked at the misty sky outside the window, and looked at Fang Lian with wide eyes, "Mother, why did you call me so early." ”
Fang Lian smiled bitterly when she heard this, and quickly picked up the clothes that were placed on the bedside to help her put them on, "It's not early, it will take half an hour to walk to the market here, it's just right to walk over there, it's not you who said you want to go to the market with me, if I don't take you, you'll have to mess with me again." ”
Half an hour is an hour, and walking for an hour is fatal.
Fang Lian looked at Lin Manxue's still confused appearance, and couldn't help but smile helplessly, the girl she had pampered up didn't know who she was going to cheapen in the future.
After washing her face, Lin Manxue finally sobered up, the spring morning was still a little cold, she also deliberately wore an extra coat, and then walked out with Fang Lian, although it was still very early, but there were many people who got up, and almost everyone in the village who was going to catch up with the market went out at this time.
After walking for an hour on the mountain road, I walked to Luoshan Town, at this time, the people who came early had already begun to set up stalls to sell things, Fang Lian also put on a small basket of eggs that she brought at this time, just put it on the table, someone came up to collect money, not a penny, Fang Lian said that this is called the city tax, Lin Manxue thought that it was similar to the modern stall to collect sanitation fees.
However, Fang Lian was a little unhappy, this basket of eggs was sold for more than 30 yuan, and she had to pay a penny, she was distressed.
Lin Manxue looked up at this time and found that this market was very short, and it was estimated that the end of the street was only two or three hundred meters long, and now there were scattered people on both sides of the street who began to set up stalls.
"Mother, can I go shopping?" Lin Manxue asked.
"No, this person is coming and going, what should I do if I turn around and be caught by the flower child? My mother will accompany you when the eggs are sold. Fang Lian was obviously not worried that Lin Manxue would go shopping alone.
"Okay." Looking at her little arms and legs, Lin Manxue didn't force it, but sat beside Fang Lian obediently, and looked at the things sold by the people around her.
Just after looking at it, Lin Manxue felt bored, because there seemed to be only a few kinds of things here, and there were nothing new.
Probably seeing that Lin Manxue was not interested, Fang Lian said with a smile at this time: "The things placed here are all some gadgets made by the people from the surrounding villages, you are definitely not interested, go back and take you to the shop, the things in it are good." ”
Worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to sit still, Fang Lian sold the eggs she brought cheaply, "Xue'er, where do you want to shop?" What to buy? ”
The reason why Lin Manxue came to the town was to understand the prices, she wanted to go to all the shops, and then think carefully about what she could do, she couldn't just eat and wait for death, not for others, even if it was for herself and Fang Lian, she had to work hard.
"Mother, it's rare for me to come to town, go to the market first and then go to the store, is it okay?" Lin Manxue said.
What is this for the pet girl Crazy Rubik's Cube, her daughter will accompany her if she wants to go shopping, children have curiosity, and she did that when she was a child.
Lin Manxue looked at every commodity very carefully, and carefully studied the prices of those items, she found that the species in this era were very poor, and the things sold were very simple, and the prices were quite cheap for her.
For example, a pair of handmade embroidered shoes is only three or four cents, so cheap that it is not like words, as for the greens or something, the greens are not sold by catties, but a basket of sales, a large basket of greens is not said to be more than ten or twenty catties, she looks at others selling three pennies, she is a deep understanding of what is called the price of cabbage.
But it's such a cheap thing, and many things are still unaffordable for farmers.
There are fourteen or fifteen villages around Luoshan Town, the big villages have tens of thousands of people, and the small ones have more than 1,000 people, and there is only one market in the past seven days.
"Mother, isn't it a bazaar today? I thought there were a lot of people in the bazaar, but why were there so few people? And how are those dishes so cheap? Lin Manxue was very puzzled.
Fang Lian smiled faintly when she heard this, "Except for the rich family, who has nothing to do to hang out here, buy things, and have no money to buy anything, as for eating vegetables, you see that in our village, except for occasionally buying some oil, who has spare money to buy vegetables?" What kind of vegetables do you want to eat, and you can't grow them yourself, so you have to spend money to buy them? ”
"How can there be no money? I think the people in the village are basically very hardworking. "There are still relatively few lazy people these days, even half-grown children are used as adults, cutting wood and digging wild vegetables, they are not idle, and the original body is also because of Fang Lian's favor, so he didn't do much of these jobs.
"Industrious, what's the use of just being industrious." Fang Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time.
How can hard work be useless? Lin Manxue looked at Fang Lian puzzled, but unfortunately Fang Lian didn't explain much at this time, but gently touched her head and said, "Don't worry about Manxue, my mother will definitely find you a good family and won't let my Xue'er suffer." ”
Lin Manxue wanted to ask something, but at this time she heard someone behind her shouting loudly, "Catch the thief, catch the thief." ”
Lin Manxue turned her head and saw that she didn't see anything, but she felt that she had been bumped into by someone, and then staggered to the side.
In this panic and fear, Lin Manxue didn't know what she had caught, anyway, when she came to her senses, she found herself lying on the ground, holding a piece of lilac silk in her hand, and what caught her eyes was a pair of white legs.
Looking up slightly, I saw the bright red panties.
"What are you doing?" A voice of gnashing teeth sounded overhead.
Lin Manxue stood up with her hands and feet at this time, and saw that there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy standing in front of her, the young man's eyebrows were picturesque, his facial features were as clear as carvings, and his face was dyed with a touch of bright red because of anger, which looked even more attractive, Lin Manxue had an urge to pinch two handfuls, and then she did so.
"Nympho shameless." The young man was so angry that his teeth gurgled, and he slapped Lin Manxue's strange hand away and pushed it hard.
snapped the little buttocks and landed on the ground again, the pain finally made Lin Manxue sober up, Lin Manxue looked at her little paws, the old aunt's heart couldn't be broken, this is not to see the beautiful little Zhengtai want to tease twice, who knows so carelessly.
This young man looks pretty, so fierce, but he looks so cute, this puff is like a second ha she used to raise, the more angry she is, the more she wants to tease him, what should I do?
The young man looked at the little girl who fell to the ground and looked at him with tears in his eyes, and he felt a sense of guilt as if he was bullying others.
His uncle once said that a woman is a nuisance, and that is indeed the case.
"Don't cry, if you dare to cry, I'll beat you." The young man threatened in a cold voice, his face darkened, and he looked very unhappy.
This little girl is still younger than himself, and he also knows that the little girl didn't mean it before, but it was him who lost face, and she still wanted to touch his face, hateful, I wanted to kill her, he tried to tell himself that he couldn't beat people, he couldn't hit people, he was unlucky, and beating people would ruin his image of being wise and martial.
"I didn't cry." Lin Manxue sniffed, stretched out her hand and wiped her cheek.
Lin Manxue didn't notice that she fell and her hands were stained with mud, and when she wiped her tears, she immediately turned into a big cat, and the young man looked at the little girl's dirty appearance, and couldn't help but point at her and laugh, "Ugly." ”
Ugly? Lin Manxue became angry when she heard this, and no woman could accept being called ugly. "Who do you say is ugly, I'm obviously very beautiful." Regarding her appearance, Lin Manxue looked in the mirror when she first came, and she was quite a beautiful little girl, why should she be called ugly.
"Pretty? Are you prettier than me? I don't admit that you're ugly, ugly. The young man's eyes widened, and he said very seriously.
Lin Manxue was dumb when she heard this, indeed, the young man in front of her was too beautiful, compared to the young man, she was indeed far behind.
Ugly! It's so sad and sad, especially if it's a man who is more beautiful than her.
"A man is more beautiful than a woman and I am, are you embarrassed?" Lin Manxue muttered.
The young man's body stiffened when he heard this, and then he looked at Lin Manxue coldly, "Ugly, give me back your belt." ”
Lin Manxue looked at the young man lifting his pants in shame, and finally knew what she had done before, she grabbed her hair very embarrassed at this time, and then hurriedly handed over the belt in her hand, "I'm sorry, big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
"Get out." The young man snatched the belt angrily, hurriedly tied it, glared at Lin Manxue fiercely, and then left angrily.
Fang Lian also pounced on Lin Manxue at this time, she hurriedly checked Lin Manxue up and down, "Xue'er, are you okay, but where did the fall hurt?" ”
She didn't come forward to help before, and she also had scruples, the young man looked at it and was either rich or expensive, she was afraid that she would aggravate the contradiction when she stepped forward, and something would happen when the time came, and this dead girl was really bold, and she dared to quarrel with the young master of the rich and noble family, but fortunately, the young master was kind-hearted and didn't care, otherwise what would happen if something happened.
"You can't be so willful when you meet those young masters from rich families in the future, this time it's the young masters who are kind enough to forgive you, you know." The square face nagged and reprimanded.
"It's okay, mother, it's all the thief's fault." Lin Manxue said that she had grown so big and it was the first time she had done such a humiliating thing.
When he turned his head, he found that the thief had long since lost his mind.
"Yes, yes, but my daughter has a good vision, even if she falls, she falls just right, and she chooses a beautiful boy to start." Fang Lian said with a grin.
Lin Manxue saw that the young man who had just walked a short distance stumbled when he heard this, and then walked faster, as if there was a vicious dog chasing after him.
Lin Manxue couldn't help but look at Fang Lian very embarrassed when she heard this, "Do you believe me when I said that my hand betrayed my heart?" ”
