The next day, the sky was bright, and as soon as he could see the road clearly, Xiao Qi drove the carriage and set off.

It wasn't until dusk that the six rushed to the outside of Guxian and entered the city before the city gate was closed.

Xiaobei was very excited, "The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are wearing armor, this is the first time I have seen officers and soldiers." ”

Xiaobei's words attracted many people to look at them, looking like they were looking at the countrymen.

The stinky duck egg glanced at the officers and soldiers standing at the city gate, "The people in the city are so smart, it should be very easy to put a sharp knife on the end of a long stick." ”

Xiao Qi stroked his forehead, they have now become the focus, and there are many people watching the excitement on the side.

She had seen the picture album at Hua Xi'er's house and knew that it was a spear, and said to the stinky duck egg, "The one you said is a spear, and the officer and soldier next to you are holding a big knife in his hand." ”

Xiaobei looked at Xiao Qi with a look of a fool, "Who can not know the big knife, Miss Xiaoqi, you also look down on us too much." ”

An officer and soldier stepped forward to drive the people away, "Leave quickly, no people are allowed to gather at the city gate." ”

Xiao Qi walked towards the city with everyone, a few people's eyes were not enough, the county seat of Guxian County was much more lively than Fenghuang Town, and the cries of small merchants and vendors on the street were endless.

When passing by an open-air steamed bun shop, Xiao Qi stopped and sniffed, she smelled the aroma of Hu spicy soup.

The stinky duck egg touched the silver cake in his arms, Xiao Qi had already returned the silver ingots to Wang Yuanwai, so now he was the richest among several people, and he decided to invite everyone to have a full meal together.

The stinky duck egg looked at the bun shop, yes, it looked relatively simple, and the things should not be expensive, so he said: "Let's hurry in and eat something, and only when we are full of food and drink can we work." ”

Several people sat down around a square wooden table, and the stinky duck egg beckoned to the proprietress arrogantly, "Boss, come to six bowls of spicy soup, and ten meat buns, I'll treat you." ”

Xiaobei patted the rotten duck egg on the shoulder, "Okay, stinky duck egg, you are really generous." ”

Soon the hot Hu spicy soup was on the table, and Xiao Bei praised, "I can eat meat buns and drink hot Hu spicy soup, I have no regrets in my life." ”

Xiao Qi: "If you can help Wang Yuanwai find his grandson, all your friends in Phoenix Town will be able to drink Hu spicy soup." ”

Ah Fu painted while eating, but the painting was a man wearing a hat, a robe, and a sword at his waist.

The stinky duck egg sat next to Ah Fu, and after drinking the spicy soup, he looked at the painting painted by Ah Fu and laughed, "It's not raining again, and I'm still wearing a robe, and I'm laughing to death." ”

Xiaobei touched the elbow of the stinky duck egg and gave the stinky duck egg a look.

Stinky Duck Egg turned his head and saw two people sitting at a table in the corner who were dressed the same as Ah Fu's paintings, and immediately felt bad, and said to Xiao Qi: "I didn't know that Ah Fu drew the people next to him, I thought Ah Fu drew ...... out of thin air."

One of the people in the cloak stood up and walked over, and the stinky duck egg quickly hid behind Xiao Qi, and said to the man in the robe: "This hero, I apologize to you, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan......"

The man in the cloak seemed to want to scare them, pulled out the sword in his hand, and slashed the sword towards the table, Xiao Qi quickly raised the chopsticks in his hand to meet them, the chopsticks were not broken, but the sword body was open.

The proprietress was very close to a few people, and when she saw this scene, she was very surprised, and the plate of buns in her hand rolled to the ground.

The man in the cloak put his sword back in its scabbard and sat quietly back on the table in the corner.

The people who were waiting to watch the excitement next to them couldn't help but be a little disappointed, they were blocked in the middle by the proprietress and didn't see what happened clearly, they just thought that the person with the sword wanted to make a big move, but they gave up again.

After a while, the two men with swords left silently.

As the sky gets darker, the lanterns on the street are lit up one by one, illuminating the street.

Suddenly, there was a pop, and a dazzling flower bloomed in half the sky, and someone shouted, "Look, there are fireworks." ”

Xiaobei stood up and danced, "It turns out that this thing is called fireworks, it's really beautiful, the life of the people in the city is really happy, there are such beautiful fireworks to watch when you are full of food and drink." ”

The fireworks were bursting and dazzling, coupled with the bright lanterns of various colors on both sides of the street, Xiao Qi thought for a while, and finally came up with an appropriate adjective, and said: "Fire trees and silver flowers never sleep." ”

The proprietress of the shop praised: "I didn't expect this little girl to be a reader, and what she said was so popular that it sounded weird to the occasion." ”

After a while, the people on the street suddenly ran up, and some people shouted as they ran: "Go and grab the money, Master Li is going to scatter the money, a whole eight baskets." ”

Xiaobei, "It's too lively in this Guxian county." ”

Xiao Qi asked the proprietress, "Boss, is the county so lively every night?" ”

The proprietress is a slightly chubby woman, and she speaks very kindly, "It's not like this every night, although it's usually lively, but it's far worse than these days." ”

The male boss who was serving the soup continued: "These days, because it is Li Dashan's birthday, it is very lively. ”

The proprietress pointed to the lanterns on both sides of the street, "Do you see those colorful and beautiful lanterns on the street?" Those were all hung by the Li family, and the fireworks were also set off by the Li family. ”

Male boss, "The Li family also set up a high stage in front of their house, and invited the famous Fengyang opera troupe to sing, and they have been singing for many days, and today is the last night." ”

Everyone listened attentively, and sure enough, there was a babbling singing sound.

Xiao Qi smiled, the husband and wife spoke and sang and harmonized, and they looked very harmonious.

The rotten duck eggs paid, and several people were about to leave, and the proprietress kindly advised: "You are still young, and you look so pleasing, you must pay more attention when walking on the street, I heard that several children have been lost in the city recently." ”

Xiao Qi and Pear Blossom looked at each other when they heard about losing the child, which was what they were most concerned about.

Xiao Qi whispered in Lihua's ear: "Guxian is too big, and it is not easy for us to find it in a daze." Sister Ewhata, do you dare to be a bait? ”

"Now that the gates are closed, if the kidnappers catch you, they will probably send you to their stronghold in the city, where there may be other kidnappers there."

Rika hesitated, "Will the kidnapper think I'm old?" ”

"Sister Lihua, although you are older than all of us, you are very beautiful and eye-catching, if you use me as bait, I guess no one will notice me."

Rika was resolute, "Dare!" I dare to be bait. ”

If she can find her brother and little mouse, she is willing to exchange her life for her.

Xiao Qi put on a cute smile at the proprietress, "Boss, my sister wants to wash her face, can you borrow your family's water?" ”

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, did she have the courage to say no? No. She had just seen the girl catch the sword with chopsticks.

The proprietress replied with a smile after weighing it in her heart: "Of course you can, the yard behind is my house, and there is a well in it." ”

Xiao Qi took out two pennies and handed them to the proprietress, who hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Just use some water, you don't need to collect money." ”

Xiao Qi glanced at the carriage they had borrowed from the Wang family and asked the proprietress, "Boss, do you know where there is a place to take care of the carriage?" ”

"There are several places in the county town during the day to help take care of the carriage and horses, but there is no at night, you can leave the carriage at my house, I have a donkey at home, and I will help you feed the horses by the way when feeding the donkeys."

"Then it's troublesome for the boss, we'll give the money."
