For a while, I didn't wait for Xin'er, I thought that there was something inconvenient for her family to go out, so I gave up, and then I couldn't bear it, according to the approximate address she told me earlier, I was ready to look for her.

There were a lot of captains by the river, but I didn't have any coins on me, so I thought they should know the son of the local magistrate, and my "prodigy" was a well-known name in Zhuo County, so I decided to try my luck.

When I came to the first captain, I asked him if he could take me across the river, and he said, "You are a little child, do you have any money with you?" It costs a five-baht coin to cross the river. ”

"Nope." I replied crisply.

"You little hairy boy, what kind of river do you have to cross if you don't have money?" The boatman looked disgusted, looked at me a few times and said, "Why do I look at you a little familiar." ”

"I'm a child of the county family." I hurriedly said, I hope my father's fame can help me at this moment.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, "Are you the little prodigy of the county order family who can talk and walk as soon as he is born?" ”

"That's right! Can you send me across the river? I asked again.

"Yes, but I have to ask you in advance what you're doing across the river. To avoid something, the county order is the only one to ask, and I can't do it! ”

"I'm going to find a friend." I replied.

"Then wait, when I find a guest, I will bring you by the way, lest I lose money on this trip, do you think it's okay, little prodigy?"

"Good! Thank you, uncle! ”

Finally, when two people were about to cross the river, the captain beckoned to me: "Little prodigy, it's time to start work, you can also get on the boat." ”

I happily got on the boat, relying on my reputation as a "little prodigy" and the majesty of my father as a county magistrate, I rubbed the boat in vain. It took me about half an hour to get on the boat, and I finally reached the other side of the river, and I couldn't figure out the direction when I got off the boat. Ask someone, I think. At this time, an aunt with a child in her arms came up to me, and I stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, do you know if there is a jewelry store near here?" ”

"There are quite a lot of jewelry shops, I don't know which one you ask."

"Which ones?" I don't know what the name of Xin'er's jewelry shop is, and I regret that I didn't inquire clearly.

"Kid, what are you doing with a jewelry shop?" My aunt touched my head kindly and said, "Well, I'll take you to a nearby jewelry store first." ”

"Trouble Auntie!" Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person, and my mother's heart is quite kind.

After walking for a while, a jewelry shop called "Zhenxing" came into view, "This is a jewelry store." Auntie said and walked me in.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Uncle "Cold-faced Buddha", I felt incredible, I only knew that he was a businessman at my first birthday party, but I didn't expect that he also opened a jewelry shop, which was really a coincidence. I greeted Uncle Zhao: "Hello, Uncle 'Cold Face Buddha'. ”

Uncle Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he heard the title I gave him, "Why did the little prodigy come here?" Did you come with your parents? ”

"No, I'm here alone."

"Alone?" Uncle Zhao asked, "Then who is she?" He pointed to the aunt next to me.

"She's a kind aunt, and she's the one who brought me here." I say.

"Since you know him, I'm relieved to hand him over to you, and I'm going back." Auntie said to Uncle Zhao.

"Okay, you go slowly." Uncle Zhao politely said to his aunt, and suddenly turned to me again, "Xiao Sheng." Why are you here alone? Does your mom and dad know? ”

"I'm here to find someone." I said disapprovingly, "I'm not a big man, so I don't need to tell my parents when I go out." ”

Uncle Zhao gently grabbed my little hand, sat on the bench and continued to ask me, "Who is the little prodigy looking for?" Tell Uncle Zhao, maybe Uncle Zhao happens to know him. ”

"I came to find my friend, I haven't seen her for a long time, her name is Zhao Jiaxin, her father also runs a jewelry shop, just like Uncle Zhao, I don't know if you recognize her." I said, "She used to come to us with her father, and we got to know each other like this, and we used to play happily together, but I haven't seen her for a long time lately, and I miss her a little." ”

Uncle Zhao listened to me patiently after saying these words, and then laughed inexplicably, I was a bit of a second monk - confused. "Uncle Zhao, are you laughing at something? Is that funny what I'm talking about? I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. ”

"Xiao Sheng, I seem to know who you're looking for." Uncle Zhao is playing tricks.

"Uncle Zhao, do you know Xin'er? Then please take me to her. I said eagerly.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao will take you to Xin'er." As he spoke, he took my hand and walked to the back of the store, I seemed to notice something, Xin'er couldn't be Uncle Zhao's daughter, I thought to myself. I started to get nervous, my heart was beating faster, my palms were sweating, it would be nothing if I met Xin'er alone, it would be a little embarrassing to meet Xin'er in this way, I knew that the emotions just now should have been restrained a little, and I said so much in one go, doesn't Uncle Zhao know everything now?

"Xin'er, your friend has come to play with you." Uncle Zhao shouted into the house with a smile.

Sure enough, Xin'er was really Uncle Zhao's daughter, she saw the surprise on my face, ran to me and asked, "Brother Xiaosheng, why are you here, how did you find my family?" ”

My face suddenly turned red and I couldn't say a word. Xin'er's mother also heard the sound and walked out, and I found that Xin'er's appearance and her mother belonged to that kind of gentle and elegant type, and it made people want to get close to it when they looked at it.

"This is the son of the Li County Ling family, the little prodigy." Uncle Zhao introduced me to Xin'er's mother with a smile on his face. She smiled at me, and when she saw that I was so blushing that I couldn't speak, she said to Xin'er, "Xin'er, you can take him out to play." "I really know my mind so well, I said 10,000 thanks to Xin'er's mother in my heart.

"Brother Xiao Sheng, why did you suddenly come to me?" Xin'er asked.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you a little, so I came to look for you." I replied.

"And how do you know about my family? My dad seems to know you. ”

"Your father and I have a deep relationship, and I have seen your father at my first birthday banquet before." I said in a joking tone, "And the title of my little prodigy resounded throughout Zhuo County, who doesn't know me!" "As soon as I left Xin'er's house, I immediately became active.

"You're narcissistic!" Xin'er covered her mouth and said with a smile, that look, not to mention how playful and cute it is.

I couldn't help but want to tease her: "Xin'er, you know what? A few years ago, at my first birthday party to be exact, your father gave you to me. ”

Xin'er's face was instantly dyed with a layer of red, and she said shyly, "How come? Don't talk nonsense, I was only old at that time, and you weren't that big. ”

"Then I don't care, anyway, your father and my father and mother have agreed to this family business." I suddenly leaned over to Xin'er's face and whispered, "So you've been my lady for a long time!" After saying that, I immediately ran away, if I didn't guess wrong, Xin'er would hit me next.

Xin'er's face turned even redder, and I heard her whispering from behind, "Li Sheng, you rascal!" "As soon as I turned around, Xin'er was chasing me, and I deliberately slowed down.

"Brother Li Sheng, you can tell me a story, just start telling it again from Pangu." Xin'er didn't hit me after she caught up.

"What's there to talk about? I've said it three or four times. I said, "Let me tell you about my past life." ”

"Good!"

"In the previous life, that is, in the Spring and Autumn Period, we asked Che Lingzhi to help us transform into a human form, your name is Sui'er, my name is He Chun, we are inseparable, like glue, the relationship is very good, we also have a child, called Xiaozhi, the ambition of Zhi." I told the story between us very well, maybe it was because of the weakness of my heart, I could feel my heartbeat speeding up again, unlike before, this time it was all due to lying.

Seeing that I suddenly stopped talking, Xin'er asked, "Brother Li Sheng, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, no, it's okay, I suddenly thought about the things of my past life." I said, "Your father's identity in his previous life was ostensibly the shopkeeper of a wine shop in Ailing, Qi State, but in fact, he was a famous hero on the rivers and lakes who robbed the rich and helped the poor, called the 'cold-faced Buddha'. Later, your father and I teamed up with a good man to deal with a hypocritical and fierce local county order, and the result was all gone, but fortunately, I got rid of a big scourge for Ailing, and it was not in vain in my previous life. ”

"You're dead, what about me and Xiaozhi?" Xin'er asked with a wink of her curious eyes.

"By the way, I forgot to say it, that county order is to use you and Xiaozhi to blackmail me to kill people, I refused, so I discussed privately with the cold-faced Buddha, but I was unfortunate to be recognized by the bad county order, in fact, we fell for his plan from the beginning. Our original plan was to send you and Xiao Zhi out of the city safely first, and then fight with him, but who would have thought that he would kill you and Xiao Zhi, and then we broke the jar and fell together, and died with the bad county order. ”

"Hey!" Xin'er sighed.

"What are you 'hey' about?" I asked.

"You said that if it weren't for that bad county order, wouldn't our family of three live happily?"

"Maybe." I replied humbly.

"But fortunately, we still met each other in this life, and we didn't live a successful life in our previous life, so let's cherish each other in this life." Xin'er said with a serious face, that tone and expression really didn't look like a six-and-a-half-year-old child.

"Xin'er, do you believe what I say?"

"What do you say?" I'm your lady'? ”

"No, it's what I told you about our past lives, do you believe it? Or is it just to be heard purely as a story? ”

"I take your word for it!" Xin'er looked at me with a determined look in her eyes.

A warm current welled up in my heart.

Time flies so fast, it is already evening, the sun has set, the sky is dyed orange by the sunset, and the clouds of different shapes seem to be draped in a veil, hazy, beautiful, and like a shy girl.

"Xin'er, it's not too early, I should go back, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." I got up and walked to the river, and luckily, I met the captain who had sent me before.

"Little prodigy, it's time to get started!" He said.
