Chapter 108: The Return of the Old Man (6)

The night sky is clear and the moonlight is gentle.

In the crowd of revelers in the narrow street, a slender and thin woman stayed in place, looking at the little girl standing in the center of the crowd not far away.

"Ahh The cuckoo walked through the layers of crowds and came to the side of the nettle, and asked with a puzzled heart, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know." Netherwood lowered her head and hugged her sister-in-law beside her, "Sister-in-law, I seem... I met a nobleman. ”

"Huh?"

"A bunch," she muttered for a moment, "very good, very good friends." ”

"It seems that Ah Jing and Ah Cheng have had a good experience." The cuckoo gently hugged the little girl in her arms and stroked her hair, "Today's bun and skirt are beautiful. ”

……

After the prayers, the people began their revelry again.

No one noticed that in the corner at the end of the narrow alley, a man wearing a hat and covered in black veil was standing quietly.

He stood there quietly, looking at the group of chasing and playing, like a sculpture.

"Hmm~ You're chasing me!" A child with a straw knot in his hand provoked as he ran, "I'll give it to you if I catch it!" ”

"Why don't you play with us?" The children behind chased after him, "This little house should be placed at the front of the line!" ”

There are many lines drawn on the edge of the open space in the courtyard, and at first glance it looks like the shape of a house, and there are many small pebbles scattered on the lines.

A few children are standing in place reciting a well-known nursery rhyme for the people of the hundred cities-

Small sticks, thin and long,

Painting houses on the yellow earth.

Small tiles, boxy,

My partner and I came to jump out of the house.

The house is wide, the house is long,

The size of the rooms varied.

Left jump, right jump,

It's like a frog jumping into a pond.

You also jump, I also jump,

Jump to the west and set the sun.

"Jumping left and right, like a frog jumping into a pond."

As if a picture came to mind, the man mechanically raised his hands and hugged his head, which was completely covered by the hat. However, those immature and cheerful voices did not go away, but poured into the ears more and more crisply, penetrated into the mind, and the sound surrounded.

"You also jump, I also jump, dance until the sun sets."

"Ah Cheng! The sun is going down and it's time for us to go home! ”

"Brother Long! Let's play again! ”

"Eminem should be in a hurry."

……

Who is Ah Cheng! Who is Ah Cheng!

He stood there dumbfounded, leaning against a wall in a distorted posture that ordinary people could not do, and the night breeze blew the flower umbrella above his head.

The edge of the umbrella is slightly wrinkled, like a blooming flower. There was a burst of floral fragrance coming from the flower umbrella.

He struggled to tilt his head up, pressed almost his entire chest upwards, and saw an umbrella in the corner, right above his head.

The fragrance of flowers is blowing, but in the middle of the umbrella is a bright sugar gourd and two strange masks.

"Ah Juan, I'm sorry for you!!"

Such a passage came to my mind, and some unfamiliar images appeared in my mind - the woman was slender and thin, with a yellowish complexion, but with a smile. She took a bite of the sugar gourd in her hand and handed it over, "You eat it too!" ”

The picture is fragmented and boundless.

He looked at it for a moment, then fixed his eyes on the woman who was holding the little girl not far away.

Stunned in place...

……

"The prince treats me so sincerely," he returned to the inn, and his eyes were still red, "So, these are all prepared for my birthday?" ”

"Hmm!" Cheng Tianyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Happy... Why are you crying? ”

"Hmm... In the past, birthdays were spent with children of the same month in the temple, and they never celebrated their birthdays since they apprenticed..."Nettle laughed, but tears still flowed from her eyes.

She shook her head violently and put her head in Cheng Tianyi's arms.

"It's like a dream!" Nettle's voice buzzed, "It's unreal." It's really my birthday...... So grand! ”

"Senior brother, my wish... It seems that it has all come true. ”

"Then we thank Shizi for helping us make our wish come true!"

"Uh-huh!" Jing Qian raised her head, Ying Ying smiled, and bowed to Chu Mo and Yun Ling Xiu, "Thank you!" ”

"Don't thank me!" Yun Lingxiu immediately waved his hand, "If you want to thank you, thank Puchu!" Rest well, you have to work tomorrow! ”

"Good!" She took her new skirt around, crossed her feet, and saluted, "Okay!" The little ones go to rest right away! ”

Seeing her so playful, everyone laughed.

"Tomorrow, we will go to the third sister-in-law first, and we haven't visited since the reunion," Cheng Tianyi rubbed his hands and seriously proposed, "Ling Xiu, Chu Mo, you will go with us." ”

"Okay." Yun Lingxiu said with a smile.

I thought that Yun Lingxiu would meet outside, but I didn't expect him to agree so easily, Cheng Tianyi was stunned one by one.

"The third sister-in-law gave us two flower umbrellas!" Yun Lingxiu looked at Chu Mo and saw her smile slightly, so he smiled and said, "How can there be any reason not to return the courtesy!" Just wait for news about the corpse. ”

"Sister-in-law is my family and my sister-in-law," Cheng Tianyi smiled innocently, "You're welcome. ”

"My sister-in-law, that has to be treated better!"

"I have to thank you, please ask the government to ...... my sister-in-law's flower umbrella"

"Huh... I don't dare take credit for this! Pu Chu has made great contributions! ”

……

Everyone laughed and walked towards the inn room.

In the shadows at the end of the street, a small figure with a large head and a small body slowly paced out, grinning grimly in the direction of the inn.

After a few moments, it slowly dissipated into a puff of black smoke.

…

Following.

Narrow alleys in the east of the city.

Cheng Tianyi led the others along the alley, slowly moving forward, "The third sister-in-law should live in front." ”

Yun Lingxiu picked up the gift in his hand and said with a smile, "By the way, do you know how to make dumplings?" ”

"I grew up in a broken temple, and most of my younger brothers and sisters know it." Cheng Tianyi said honestly, "Brother Ling Xiu will too?" ”

"I won't!" Yun Lingxiu waved his hand, "I didn't expect Brother Cheng to look burly and strong, and this kind of cooking is also good?" ”

Without waiting for Cheng Tianyi to speak, Jing Qian immediately said, "That's!" Senior brother is amazing! ”

As he spoke, he came to the door of a house, and in front of that door were gathering these homeless people, discussing something.

After a while, an official came to this point, and walked over to separate the crowd.

Seeing this, the four of them immediately stepped forward.

"Yun Gongzi!" The leading official had already seen Yun Lingxiu yesterday, and when he saw him passing, he immediately bowed, his face full of flattering smiles, "Why are you here?" ”

"What?" Yun Lingxiu raised his chin inside.

"Someone reported the crime! It is said that a man in black took the woman who lived alone. The official nodded and explained, "When we received the tip, we rushed over." ”

"Can the captives have names?"

"Bang!"

The dish in Cheng Tian's hand fell straight to the ground, he looked at the door here, his face was gloomy, and he muttered, "Third sister-in-law! ”

"It is said that he is a vendor who sells flower umbrellas."

At the same time, the official also said the man's name, "The name is Cuckoo!" ”
