Five days later

Zuo Xiangling looked at the buildings on the towering peaks in the distance, secretly sighed at the grandeur of the Buddhist temple, and understood why the Queen Mother chose to worship the Buddha here.

"Let's go to the inn for one night, and then go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

Shangguan Feibai looked at Zuo Xiangling with gentle eyes, in order to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace as soon as possible, they took a small road, and the road conditions of the small road were not as good as the main road.

Along the way, Zuo Xiangling lost weight, but she didn't care, but Shangguan Feibai was very distressed when she saw it.

"Uh-huh."

Zuo Xiangling watched the purple glow on the roof of the Buddhist temple on the horizon, and secretly sighed that the people here were outstanding.

Because of the Buddhist temple, the crowds passing by in the upper and lower towns are not less than those in Lin'an City, or even more.

Zuo Xiangling held Shangguan Feibai's hand so that the two did not separate, and as for the carriage, it was already a hundred meters behind them.

"Buy me a sugar gourd."

Pointing to the sugar gourd string in the vendor's hand, Zuo Xiangling pouted and blinked at Shangguan Feibai.

Shangguan Feibai's shallow smile deepened, and he took out the copper coin from his waist and handed it to the vendor.

"Guest officer, a string of sugar gourds is twenty wen, you are not enough."

The peddler saw that Shangguan Feibai and the two were dressed extraordinarily, and then looked at the five copper coins handed by Shangguan Feibai, and looked at the two with a little embarrassment.

"Twenty wen? So expensive! ”

Zuo Xiangling was taken aback, even Lin'an City, where the price is higher than elsewhere, does not have such an expensive sugar gourd, after all, an ordinary meat bun is only three or four yuan, and at most it is only eight yuan.

A string of sugar gourds in this town costs twenty yuan, which is simply a sky-high price.

"Two strings."

Shangguan Feibai smiled and made up the copper coins up and down, and took the sugar gourd in the hawker's hand.

Just as he was about to pick up the second string, Zuo Xiangling suddenly grabbed his hand and stopped it.

"Wait, this string will be returned to you, please return me twenty wen."

Zuo Xiangling smiled and pushed the string of sugar gourds in Shangguan Feibai's hand in front of the hawker, who looked at Zuo Xiangling and then at Shangguan Feibai, and finally returned the money.

After the two of them walked a few steps, Zuo Xiangling vaguely heard the vendor mocking them for being dogs and having no money to eat.

Zuo Xiangling just made a few blank eyes, and didn't mean to care.

Shangguan Feibai asked.

"Why do you only need a bunch?"

Although it is a little expensive, even if they buy all the sugar gourds, they have no burden, he saw that Zuo Xiangling wanted to eat so much, so he was ready to buy two bunches for Zuo Xiangling according to the price of Lin'an, who would have thought that he couldn't even buy a bunch.

"I said that as long as there is a skewer, of course I have to buy a skewer."

Zuo Xiangling looked at Shangguan Feibai's arm, smiled and bit down the first fiery fruit, and then handed the sugar gourd string to Shangguan Feibai's mouth, signaling him to eat it too.

Shangguan Feibai gently bit off half of it, Zuo Xiangling just wanted to say why he didn't eat it all, but before he could open his mouth, he saw that the remaining half was crumbling on the bamboo stick, so he hurriedly ate it in one bite.

Seeing her like this, Shangguan Feibai's eyes brightened and darkened, and his throat moved slightly.

"Do you know, it is because too many people feel that there is no shortage of these twenty wen that this kind of person who sits on the ground and raises the price has survived to this day.

If no one buys his things, do you think he would dare to sell them at such an expensive price? ”

Zuo Xiangling bared her teeth, as if she was facing a non-existent vendor.

"Yes."

Shangguan Feibai didn't want to argue with Zuo Xiangling, but just smiled lightly.

Just when Zuo Xiangling was about to eat the last hawthorn fruit wrapped in syrup, a small figure suddenly bumped into her.

The crowd was turbulent, and Zuo Xiangling was all focused on the sugar gourd, so she didn't notice this sudden person.

The child looked like he was about five years old, and because he ran too fast, he hit Zuo Xiangling's abdomen directly, almost making her vomit the sugar gourd she had just eaten.

When the pain in her waist eased a little, Zuo Xiangling pressed the child in front of her and said sternly.

"What are you doing here as a little kid? So many people, aren't they afraid of being trafficked? ”

Zuo Xiangling's eyes narrowed slightly, quite like the human trafficker she said would abduct and sell children.

"Hmph, Ben...... I'm not afraid. ”

I saw that a little girl with a pink carving was pouting, and she was arrogant, and this aura was arrogant at first glance.

Zuo Xiangling took a closer look, although the little girl's clothes were plain and elegant, the fabric was upper, and the small beads on her head also got a lot of silver, and she knew at a glance that it belonged to a rich and noble family.

I guess I should be playful, run out of the house, or get separated from my family.

"Why did you hit me?"

Seeing the little girl looking directly at the only sugar gourd left on her bamboo stick, she knew that the child was about to cry, and she wanted to play tricks on this little kid who almost pushed her stomach out.

"I didn't hit you, it was the people behind me who hit me, and then I ......"

The little girl slightly suppressed her coveting of the sugar gourd, and pretended to be arrogant and glanced at Zuo Xiangling.

Zuo Xiangling grinded her teeth secretly, and then swallowed the sugar gourd in one bite, looking at the little girl's expression of being about to cry, Zuo Xiangling smiled happily.

When the little girl saw that the sugar gourd was gone, she no longer wanted to talk to Zuo Xiangling, anyway, the sugar gourd couldn't be bought.

She had been outside for a day, and since she had no money, she begged for food on her own, but she never saw her favorite sugar gourd.

No, I saw Zuo Xiangling buy a sugar gourd in the distance, followed Zuo Xiangling all the way, and saw that Zuo Xiangling was about to finish eating, so he hurriedly came forward to ask for the last one.

Who would have thought that Zuo Xiangling would actually eat it!

Gyokuro was almost crying.

Since there is no drama, there is no need to talk to Zuo Xiangling.

Seeing that Yulu was about to leave, Zuo Xiangling was afraid that she was really afraid of being abducted, so she grabbed her.

"Where are you going?"

Yulu didn't speak, and stubbornly broke Zuo Xiangling's hand holding her back collar, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"What's your business?"

was glared at viciously by Yulu, Zuo Xiangling snorted and said angrily.

"Originally, you told me your name and origin and invited you to eat sugar gourd, but since you don't want to, I have to forget it."

After speaking, Zuo Xiangling let go of her hand and spread her hands, as if she was very sorry.

As soon as she heard that Zuo Xiangling was going to invite herself to eat sugar gourd, Yulu's eyes lit up.

"Let's go."

Zuo Xiangling said a word to Shangguan Feibai, looking at Shangguan Feibai and about to leave, he said in a low voice as he walked.

"Do you think this kid will come along?"

Looking at the evil smile and smugness on Zuo Xiangling's face, Shangguan Feibai's smile gradually deepened, and Zuo Xiangling's intentions couldn't be clearer.

"Yes."

Just now, the little girl's dedication to the sugar gourd, Shangguan Feibai just saw it in his eyes, and he still had the skill of recognizing people, not to mention that he was just a child.
