Hou Zhen glanced down at the silver on the ground, and said with a hideous smile on his face: "Okay, I will keep my silver, this is your own way to cut off your wealth, don't count it on my head in the future." His words were ambiguous and incomprehensible. Hou Zhen didn't say anything more, just leaned over and picked up the silver, turned around and walked down the stairs.

Ah Hong couldn't hear Hou Zhen's footsteps anymore, turned around and whispered to Qingxue: "Sister Qingxue, is there really a child running up?" Qingxue chuckled: "What do you say? Ah Hong shook his head and said, "I thought it wasn't, but when I heard my sister say that he wasn't allowed to make a mistake, I felt that it didn't look like my sister Suri's style, so I thought about asking." ”

Qingxue turned around and wanted to walk towards Shengge, and said, "If I told you, you would tell Mr. Pang later, right?" When Ah Hong heard this, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, but then he regained his composure: "I have to go down, but my sister remembers, I will not betray anyone, especially you." ”

Qingxue smiled and said: "You go, I'm going to dress up too, go to the third floor over there, the shopkeeper Mao said that there are a few distinguished guests today, and I have to wait." Ah Hong nodded and said, "Then sister, go down from the secret passage, be safe, I'll take the stairs and see if the person just now has gone." With that, he hurried away.

There was silence in Shengge's place for a while, Qingxue walked to the door of a compartment inside, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "People are gone, open the door." There was a sudden noise inside, the door was opened from the inside, Qingxue hurriedly dodged in, closed the door and said, "Can you say it now?" Why did you two little devils come here? ”

Simon March covered his heart with his hand and said, "Thank you, sister, it's so dangerous, fortunately you let us in, otherwise we would have been arrested by that person." Qingxue sat down at the small table by the door, began to put on her makeup, and said, "Thank you, you two should go home quickly." But before leaving, you still have to make it clear why that person chased you just now. ”

Ximen looked at Qiuqiu when he heard this, and he himself didn't know what was going on: just now he and Qiuqiu were sitting on the stall waiting for the crab roe buns to be served, but Qiuqiu threw down a handful of copper coins at the moment when the boss just put down the buns, and pulled him to run away.

When the two children saw that the door was open downstairs, they broke in and hid up the stairs, trying to find a corner upstairs that would not be easy to find. Who knew that the staircase looked like there was no end, and the two of them stopped halfway up to rest, and Simon took the opportunity to ask: Xiao Qiu'er, what do you see? Let's come here, Master, they can't find it, it's time to worry. ”

Qiuqiu shook her head and said to Ximen March seriously: "March, I saw Coral just now, I don't know if she saw us, so I can only take refuge here for a while, and I can't go out." Ximen March was shocked when he heard this, and then lowered his voice and said, "But, Xiao Qiu'er, what kind of place is this?" In case Master sees that we haven't gone back and comes out to look for us, won't he just happen to meet Coral? ”

This is also what Qiuqiu is worried about, but for now, she can only try her best to keep herself and March safe, in case she and March fall into the hands of bad people, it will cause Yunhua and them a lot of trouble. "Let's go up and see if there's anyone, let them help us deliver a message." Qiuqiu thought for a moment and spoke. Before she could finish speaking, she heard the voice of Hou Zhen and Mr. Pang talking downstairs.

Not good. Qiuqiu was shocked, and March immediately jumped up when she heard the sound, and the two children hurriedly ran up to the fourth floor. However, the staircase was facing a corridor with an unobstructed view, and the two of them were in a hurry, not knowing which door to open and enter. Simon mustered up his courage and pushed a door on the right side of the hallway, but could not push it open.

Qiuqiu looked around and found the Shengge place next to the staircase, which was slightly further back than the staircase compared to the corridor facing the staircase, so it was not easy to find. She walked towards the door, and heard the faint sound of rings colliding inside. Ximen noticed Qiuqiu's movements, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Xiao Qiu'er, you stand back, I'll come—" and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as they entered, the two children were greeted by countless flower umbrellas hanging in front of the shadow wall. The silver bell tied under the umbrella was slightly plucked by the wind and rang slightly. Ximen hurriedly closed the door behind him and whispered to Qiuqiu: "Xiao Qiu'er, there is a painting wall there, let's go and hide." Qiuqiu nodded in agreement, and the two of them were just about to take a step, but they heard someone behind the wall say:

"I didn't pay the money, so I came in quietly, Your Excellency really doesn't understand the rules here." It was a woman who spoke, and in the blink of an eye she was already in front of her. Ximen March hid Qiuqiu behind him and said, "Sister, we are here to hide, we don't buy anything, and we don't bring any silver. Qingxue didn't expect that there were two eight or nine-year-old children who came in, one of them, who was still holding two buns in his hand, and was stunned for a while.

When the three of them were looking at each other, the sound of Hou Zhen and Ah Hong talking came from outside the Shengge office, Qiuqiu and March heard the sound and wanted to run behind the wall to hide, but were stopped by Qingxue: "Forget it, it's not a good thing for an adult to chase two children and shout outside, you go to my room to hide, I'll deal with it." ”

The words of thanks in the mouths of Ximen and Qiuqiu did not come out, Qingxue had already raised his hand and pulled down his umbrella painted with the picture of the beginning of the snow, Qiuqiu only felt a touch of red flashing in the afterglow of his eyes, and turned back to see the red tent in front of a small pavilion door was pulled up, Qingxue held the tip of the umbrella and turned it lightly a few times, and the door behind the red tent opened silently.

"Go in, close the door." Qingxue said in a low voice. Ximen March rushed to Qingxue and gave a salute, pulled Qiuqiu with his empty hand and ran in, and closed the door softly. Qingxue listened to the people who came outside and seemed to have exchanged hands with Ah Hong, and walked behind the shadow wall while thinking in her heart:

These two children have white faces and polite manners, as if they were born in a rich family, but the one who shouted with Ah Hong outside did not sound good-natured; If I don't help, the two children will be taken away by him, if this is a villain, then I will not personally push two innocent little lives into the fire pit, and I will become the one who fights for the tiger.

Although she didn't know the origin of the outsiders, she had already subconsciously linked Hou Zhen to the person who took the flowers: most of the women who came to this sheng song to sell and sing were all fated and had a rough fate, and they were basically sold here to make a living, so most of them were full of resentment towards the human tooth industry. It is also for this reason that Qingxue is willing to help these two children who have never met.

At the moment, the three of them were crammed into a small cubicle, but the two children did not explain the ins and outs of the matter, so Qingxue didn't ask, she thought to herself: Most children of this age don't know what happened, but they just ran here by escaping their instinct to catch up. "Alright, sit down a little longer, and go home quickly." She instructed gently.

At this moment, there were many small jars the size of a baby's fist lined up on the table in front of Qingxue, which contained all kinds of rouge gouache. She dipped a sheep's hair brush in a few brushes of forehead yellow, put her face close to the bronze mirror, and planned to dye it in front of her forehead, but overheard the girl she saved say: "Sister, I know you are a good person, can you do us another favor?" ”
