Chapter 356: Thief

Gu Baoying said that she wanted to eat and play first, so when she got to East Street, she naturally went where there was delicious food and fun.

After a while, Xiaohu was holding a sugar gourd in one hand, and a Monkey King noodle in the other, Chun Tao followed him closely, also holding a rock sugar gourd in one hand and eating happily, and holding a stack of gadgets in the other hand and a snack for Biya.

The two and a half children stood in the bustling crowd, even though their faces were red from the cold, they couldn't stop the joy and excitement.

And behind them, Gu Baoying also took a bite of the sweet and sour hawthorn, enjoying it with a face.

Gu Xian and Zhiyan were empty-handed, neither eating sugar gourds nor buying anything else to eat.

After all, he is a scholar, attaches great importance to etiquette, and is very reserved!

The group continued to walk forward, intending to go to the place where the couplets and portraits of the god of the stove were sold first.

Zhiyan followed Gu Baoying's side, raising his hand to protect her from time to time, so as not to be squeezed and bumped into by the crowd of people coming and going.

Gu Xian didn't walk fast, and a few people were lazily eating and watching, but they didn't notice that a thin figure was dotting them not far away.

At this time, Gu Baoying saw a fried chestnut seller selling sugar, so she stopped greedily.

Waiting for the boss to wrap a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, Gu Baoying took out the money bag and was about to pay, when the figure behind her, who had been following for a while, was as fast as lightning, and suddenly jumped out from the side, grabbed the money bag with one hand very quickly, and ran away with a smoke!

It all happened so fast.

But in an instant.

Gu Baoying stood in place, one hand still maintained the posture of holding the money bag, among the several people in the group, only Zhiyan reacted very quickly, but he only touched the corner of the thief's clothes, and failed to catch him at all......

"There are thieves!" When Gu Baoying finally reacted, she hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased in the direction of the thief!

"You're waiting here!" Zhiyan was busy following Baoying and chasing the thief.

When Chun Tao saw this, she was so anxious.

She simply put the things in her hand into Gu Xian's arms: "Lang Jun, you stay where you are with Xiaohu, don't go anywhere!" I'll follow the girl to catch the thief! ”

After that, she also ran out in a hurry.

Gu Xian hugged those things and looked at Xiaohu, and Xiaohu finally reacted slowly: "Brother Gu Xian, what should we do?" ”

"Well, wait here!" Gu Xian sighed, his legs still can't run fast now.

Ahead, Gu Baoying ran almost desperately, but she didn't feel embarrassed all the way.

Zhiyan can run faster than her, but he cares more about Baoying than the money bag, so he has always been behind her.

The two followed the thief all the way to a remote alley.

However, around the corner, the thief's figure flashed, but he was gone.

"That's too fast, isn't it?" Gu Baoying was so tired that when she saw that there was no figure, she had to stop in place, her little face was flushed, and she was panting for breath.

"Baoying, forget it if you can't find it, you shouldn't have much silver in your money bag, right?" Zhiyan persuaded, "Let's go to the official first......

"It's not much...... but it's infuriating!

"Girl! Girl! Bao Ying was talking, but after that, she saw that Chun Tao also followed, although the little girl also ran all the way, but she didn't breathe much.

"Why did you come with me, what about my eldest brother and Xiaohu?" Gu Baoying looked at her in surprise.

"I told Lang Jun and Xiaohu to wait in place,...... Chun Tao chattered, "Girl, be careful, don't worry if you lose the silver, some thieves are not alone, they often steal things, and there is someone behind them, in case they rush to follow the past, it is easy to get into trouble......"

"I can't see it, you still know a lot!" When Gu Baoying heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.

She had also heard of this kind of thing.

Fortunately, there is not much silver, and if you lose it, you will lose it, but you have to go home again to get some silver and then come out to buy those things that worship the god of the hearth.

"Since it's a thief, maybe ask Jin Siye, he can get the money bag back." Zhiyan said again at this time.

The three of them said this here, and they were going to leave.

In the alley on the side, the thief with the money bag he had snatched from Gu Baoying was quietly poking his head out, paying attention to the movements of the three people.

There was also a middle-aged man like a thin monkey beside the thief, and the man stared at Chun Tao's face, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became.

"It turned out to be her!" The man suddenly remembered that he immediately took the bag of money from the thief's hand and was about to walk out.

"Eh, Daddy! Father! I grabbed it with great difficulty, what are you doing! As soon as the thief saw this, he hurriedly grabbed the middle-aged man, lowered his voice, and asked with puzzlement.

"Alas, don't care! Wait here! ”

The man reprimanded, and when his son had to say "oh", he stood honestly in place, only continued to poke his head, reluctantly stared at the money bag and looked at it again, and then moved away to cover it, thinking firmly that he wanted to see what his father was going to do.

"This little lady!" saw this man holding a money bag in one hand, and walked quickly to Gu Baoying and the others.

"You are?" Gu Baoying looked at the person who came, and when she saw the money bag at a glance, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" Zhiyan stood forward vigilantly, not letting this person continue to approach Baoying.

"I ...... This money bag also asked this little lady to take it back, the dog is not sensible, collided with a few, I am here to apologize to a few on behalf of you! The middle-aged man arched his hand and offered the money bag with both hands.

Zhiyan looked at him, raised his hand to take the money bag, and said with a detached expression: "We have already taken the money bag, thank you, farewell." ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Bao Ying away.

When the man saw this, he couldn't help but be a little anxious and wanted to stop them.

However, at this time, Chun Tao pointed at this person and suddenly said, "I remembered!" ”

"How?" Gu Baoying looked at Chun Tao, thinking that this was an acquaintance who had met Chun Tao, otherwise how could this person take the initiative to hand over the money bag?

"Girl! On that day, I went to the teahouse to bet on you according to your instructions, and I met this uncle, and in the entire teahouse, everyone was the people who bet on Yuemo Academy to win, except for the slave maid, and this uncle was betting on you to win! Chun Tao immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow, and because this person bet on his own girl to win, he was very kind to him.

"I see." Gu Baoying had a touch of surprise on her little face.

As soon as Chun Tao said this, even Zhiyan couldn't help relaxing.

The man arched his hand again and said: "The villain's name is Mu Cheng, and the one who robbed the girl's money bag is the villain's son, named Mu Yi, and our father and son are both begging for a living in this city...... I also recognized this little girl, and I remember that she said that the girl was her master, and she was also one of the parties to the bet......"

"Yes, it's me, but how did you think of betting on me to win?" Gu Baoying asked with some curiosity, and at the same time surprised by his honesty.

"It's not a secret, the villain also wants to get acquainted with the girl, just because the villain heard that the girl has excellent medical skills and can cure the fool......" Mu Cheng said this, but he stopped talking.

And Gu Baoying immediately understood.

It seems that there is such a person in his family, so he wants to seek her for healing.
