Chapter 16: Stealing
Xia Li said secretly, that son looked like a man in fresh clothes and angry horses, and he liked this dog very much, and he couldn't buy it with a little village girl no matter how much money he spent, not to mention that she didn't have so much money. However, she had to make sure that the dog was not a marshal, and if it was, she would have to do everything she could to get her hands on it.
Xia Li didn't dare to act rashly, and walked among the crowd of people watching the excitement. She looked around and suddenly saw an alley in front of her, which should be a good chance to succeed.
She hurriedly walked a few steps alongside the dog, coughed again, and shouted in a very low voice, "Marshal."
The dog heard this, looked sideways at her, and pressed her left index finger to her lips and pointed to her right with her right hand.
This was a gesture from her previous life to the marshal. Meaning, don't make a sound, go to the right.
Her marshal was unusually smart, and once made one first-class merit, one second-class merit, and two third-class merits. She already looks a little like her previous life, and she knows the name of her previous life, and with this gesture password, if this dog is really a marshal crossing over, he will definitely recognize her and strictly follow her password.
After the gesture, she turned and walked briskly to the right.
The dog was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ran to the right with all four hooves, causing the people around him to scream.
His master was also anxious and shouted, "Huzi, where are you going?" Don't run! ”
The dog didn't care about others, and caught up with Xia Li in a few steps.
Xia Li saw that the dog was catching up, and made a gesture to continue running forward and hide himself.
Of course, her movements are so small that others won't notice.
The dog got the order, shot out like an arrow, and ran towards the mouth of the alley directly in front of him. The boy in the costume and a few subordinates screamed, chased the dog and ran to the mouth of the alley, and many people who watched the excitement also followed frantically.
Xia Li covered her beating heart, and her excited tears welled up. God treats her well in this life, and the marshal really crossed over with her, and was touched by her.
She followed the lively people and walked briskly into the alley, where there were no dogs in sight.
The boy and a few subordinates shouted "Huzi" all the way and ran to the end of the alley. Their footsteps paused, and Childe pointed to the left, "You guys are chasing there," and said to the remaining two, "Let's chase here." ”
Those who watched the excitement, a few persisted and ran after them, and a few people walked back.
Xia Li didn't continue, she looked around the ground and found that the courtyard here was connected to the courtyard, but there was a recessed groove at the junction of the two courtyard walls, and there was a groove with some sundries piled up.
She was sure that if it were its marshal, it would have chosen it as a hiding place, rather than choosing to escape from her grasp.
She walked over casually, put the basket on the ground, and squatted down to carry her embroidered shoes. She seemed to have her head down, her eyes looking around for a moment, then into the clutter.
In that pile of clutter, two big moist eyes flashed looking at her.
Xia Li was so excited that his body trembled a little, and he made a gesture of waiting. When he was sure that the people in the alley were not paying attention to her, he moved his body again to block their view, and then pointed to the back basket and whispered, "Jump in." ”
I saw a yellow shadow flash, and the dog jumped into the back basket. Xia Li quickly covered the back basket with a cloth, got up and walked out of the alley.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, the man in the fancy costume fell back with two subordinates.
A subordinate asked Xia Lidao, "Little lady, have you seen a black and white dog?" ”
Xia Li glanced at them blankly and shook his head.
The subordinate said loudly to a few of the residents and the people watching the excitement, "My dog is lost, if you help find it, I will reward you with fifty taels of silver." ”
The boy hurriedly said, "No, if you find Huzi, the master will reward you with five hundred taels of silver...... No, a thousand taels, a thousand taels of silver. He kicked the two subordinates a few more times, and scolded, "I searched from house to house, and I couldn't find the master to break your ass......"
When those people heard that they had found the dog and rewarded so much silver, they were very excited, and they all searched around, and there were still people who went to rummage through the pile of miscellaneous items, and the people in the courtyard also searched for it in the courtyard and outside the courtyard.
Xia Li tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and walked quickly towards the embroidery workshop. Hearing a low sobbing sound coming from the back basket, her eyes turned red. She clenched her teeth, neither comforting it nor letting her tears fall.
Before he reached the embroidery workshop, he saw Xia standing in the middle of the road and looking around anxiously.
Xia Li shouted, "Mother." ”
Xia Shi was relieved to see Xia leaving, stepped forward and patted her and scolded, "You kid, where did you go?" What should I do if I lose it, I'm in a hurry! ”
Xia Li replied, "Mother, I'm not feeling well, I want to go home soon." ”
Xia Shi saw that his daughter's face was blushing abnormally, her face was covered with sweat, and her hair was a little messy, so she was even more anxious. Pulled her and said, "There is a medical hall in front, and my mother will take you to see a doctor." ”
Xia Li shook his head and said, "I'm not sick, I just feel very tired and want to go home and sleep." He said firmly, "Mother, I want to go home, leave now." ”
Xia hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's go home quickly, call the donkey cart, the donkey cart runs fast." ”
Xia called a donkey cart on the side of the road and said that he would go to Xiaowa Village for fifty wen.
After getting on the donkey cart, Xia Li's mood relaxed a little. She took off the basket and held it in her arms, and when she saw that the cloth on the basket was a little crooked, she quickly covered it.
Xia Shi was a little puzzled, the empty basins and empty bowls that sold ice powder were all put in her back basket, what was there in her back basket that needed to be covered?
Xia Li explained, "The cloth in the Chunniang embroidery workshop is expensive, so I went to a small cloth village and bought a piece of cloth to make clothes. ”
When he was about to leave the city gate, he saw the boy in fine clothes again. He was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and kept kicking and scolding those subordinates. At this time, he no longer had the previous dignity and arbitrariness, his hair was unkempt, his clothes were covered with dirt, and his eyes were still shiny.
In the face of the person who lost the dog, Xia Li was very weak-hearted, and quickly lowered his head, and hugged the back basket in his arms tighter.
The donkey cart passed by them, and the voice of the boy came, "...... If Huzi can't be found, my cousin will pick my skin, pull my tendons, and drive me back to the capital...... Woowoo woo ......"
He actually cried.
The donkey cart slowly walked out of the city gate, and the high city wall became farther and farther away, Xia Li's heart was put into his stomach, and the strings that had been tight were relaxed.
Thinking of the son who "lost" the tiger, Xia Li was very upset. In this world, the marshal is not a marshal, but a "tiger" in the man's mouth, which does not belong to her. Her move at this time was stealing, and it also made the boy carry the disaster.
She could only say sorry.
Marshal to them, it's just a dog. For her, she is a relative, and she is a comrade-in-arms who does not hesitate to protect her with his life.
She had to get it around and be kind to it. She knew that no one could treat it better than herself, in her past and present lives......
