Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly at the smiling little face, lowered his head again, and swept all the sugar people in front of him, "Your sugar people, I want them all, how much money do I need to give you?" ”

When these words fell, the little girl didn't seem to expect Chu Nian to be so generous, and she was stunned.

After a while, she shivered decently, and then looked down and counted the sugar man in front of her, "One, two, three......"

"Thirty Wen!" The little girl suddenly raised an excited smile, "Big sister, do you have so many children in your family?" Don't they eat too much sugar and people don't have a toothache? ”

A hint of interest rose in Chu Nian's heart, she lowered her head and looked at the little girl with interest.

"I have very few children at home, but I want to take you back, would you like to go back with me and live with my children?"

The little girl suddenly took a few steps back with a vigilant look on her face, "No, no, no, you are ...... Villain? ”

Qing Yi on the side stood in place with the back of his head in his hands, his eyes swept over the faces of the little girl and Chu Nian, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and sighed helplessly.

I saw Chu Nian raise his eyebrows slightly, "That's right, I'm a bad person, seeing that you have no father or mother, I will take you back today to sell to others in exchange for some money." ”

The little girl frowned like a little adult, a pair of beautiful big eyes stared at Chu Nian's eyes, and her ink-colored pupils suddenly turned into two whirlpools.

Chu Nian sneered, and without fear, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at those apricot eyes.

After a while, the little girl suddenly rubbed her eyes, and then looked at Chu Nian blankly, muttering to herself: "It's strange, the illusion that Master taught me didn't work......

Chu Nian hooked the corners of his lips slightly, "That's because your level is not enough, and now you can only bully and bully ordinary people." ”

When these words fell, the little girl's eyes widened suddenly, "You, you are ......"

Chu Nian slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Did your master tell you that you also have a senior brother and a senior sister?" ”

The little girl opened her mouth slightly, and after a moment, a faint light flashed in her big beautiful eyes.

"Are you really my senior sister? Then you were sent by Master to pick me up? ”

As she spoke, the little girl whimpered, "Woo, Master finally remembered me, I thought Master had forgotten about me......"

"Master hasn't forgotten you, we are obviously very busy, and he also asked us to take time out of our busy schedules to pick you up......"

Chu Nian glanced at Qing Yi, Qing Yi suddenly turned his head away, and muttered in a low voice: "I, who is a senior brother, really don't have the slightest sense of existence." ”

The little girl was looking at Chu Nian with novelty in her eyes, "You are really my senior sister...... Master said, my senior sister is a very powerful person, and she is a very talented illusionist, and it is very likely that she will surpass his existence in the future, you ......"

Chu Nian hooked the corners of his lips slightly, half-lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "I didn't expect me to be so powerful in the eyes of my master." ”

The little girl suddenly grinned, "It seems that you are my senior sister, so this one is my useless senior brother, right?" ”

Qingyi pointed to his nose in astonishment, "Me? Useless? That's what Master told you? ”

The little girl bit her fingers and nodded, just as Qingyi was about to have a seizure, Chu Nian hurriedly spoke: "What's your name?" ”

Qingyi, who was blocked from speaking, was a little dissatisfied, but he was not easy to attack, for fear that he would leave the image of a vicious senior brother in the impression of the little junior sister, only

I stopped talking, but my face was flushed.

Chu Nian glanced at him helplessly, and saw the little girl open her mouth and said, "My name is Xiao Maruko!" That's what they all call me! ”

Chu Nian glanced at Qing Yi beside him, and this party lowered his head and said, "What about your father?" ”

Maruko tilted her head and thought for a while before whispering, "Daddy...... They don't want me anymore, I've been kicked out of the house for a long time. ”

Chu Nian glanced at Xiao Maruki with pity.

The child was only so old that she couldn't stand up to the base of her thighs.

But now the little girl's clothes are dirty, not to mention, a small face that was originally bright and bright is also covered with dust.

Chu Nian wrinkled his brows and looked at the sugar man on the stall, the little pill seemed to notice Chu Nian's gaze, so he said excitedly: "Since it is a senior brother and sister, then this sugar man, I don't want money, senior brother and sister take it away, but senior brother and sister must also take me away, the master said that he would come to pick me up, but I waited for a long time, and he didn't come......"

"You made this sugar man yourself?"

The little girl nodded, and picked up a sugar man as if showing off and sent it to Chu Nian's hand, "This is pinched according to the appearance of the unparalleled county lord in the rumors, and the skill of pinching the sugar man was also taught to me by the master!" ”

Chu Nian wrinkled his brows and glanced down at the round sugar man in his hand, turned his head sideways, and sure enough, Fang Qingyi was holding back a smile and his face turned red.

She sighed helplessly.

"When will Master still have this candy man's craft?"

This is convenient to see Xiao Maruko grinning and said: "I don't pinch it very well, the main reason is that the master's time here is too short, otherwise, I will definitely be able to learn the master's ability to pinch candy people with one hand." ”

Chu Nian shook his head helplessly, but at this time, an old man's voice came from the side.

"Maruko, these two are ......"

These words sounded, and Xiao Maruki's figure dodged behind Chu Nian before revealing his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

Chu Nian and Qingyi then turned their heads, and saw an old man standing on crutches, looking at this side with a pair of eyes that were a little shiny.

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, and this party took a deep breath, "We are her brother and sister, you are ......"

The old man furrowed his brows, "Maruko grew up in our village, when did you have your two brothers and sisters who looked so rich?" ”

Behind the old man, a group of people quickly gathered, pointing and pointing in this direction, Chu Nian tightened his brows and looked sideways at Qingyi beside him, and whispered, "What did the master tell you about Xiao Wanzi, did you have anything missing?" ”

Qingyi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head gently, "No, I came out in a hurry, and what Master told me was to bring this girl back, and nothing else." ”

Chu Nian pursed her red lips slightly, then stepped forward, and looked at the old man in front of her with a slight flash in her eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, this girl is a street child, I will bring the street child back to be my sister to raise, this thing is always right, right?" Or ......"

A dangerous light flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, causing the group of people who were pointing to be silenced immediately.

"Or is this uncle, what do you have to do with Maruko?"

"He didn't!" Xiao Maruko immediately jumped out and said loudly: "Senior sister, this person has nothing to do with me!" If you want to take me away, he won't care! ”

The old man didn't seem to let Maruko's hostility go

In his heart, he glanced Chu Nian up and down, then retracted his gaze and bent respectfully towards Chu Nian.

"The two of them don't look like ordinary people, but this child is indeed an old granddaughter."

"I'm not...... It's clear that you don't want me anymore! Why don't you let me and my sister go now! ”

Looking at the tense atmosphere between the old and the young, a hint of understanding flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, which made it easy to see the old man speak again.

His old eyes widened, and he glared angrily at the little pill in front of him, "You girl, I am your biological grandfather, how can you not recognize it?" This is a great rebellion! ”

"You said you are my biological grandfather, have you raised me for a day?" Maruko stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes, and seemed not afraid to look at the old man at all.

"Since you didn't raise me, why do you say that you are my grandfather?"

"You ......" The old man was so angry that he simply gave up arguing with Xiao Maruki, only to see him turn his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and said respectfully: "This lord, this ......"

Chu Nian lowered his eyes and protected Xiao Maruki behind him, and this side raised his eyes to look at the old man, "In this way, I can also see that since the old gentleman is unwilling to raise Xiao Maruko, then I will pay fifty taels of silver, and you will pass Xiao Maruko to my father's name as my sister, so good?" ”

When these words fell, there was an uproar among the people, "Fifty taels? Someone actually paid fifty taels of silver to buy a demon girl? ”

The old man's eyes obviously flashed for a moment, and she was caught by Chu Nian quietly, she pursed her red lips, looked down at Xiao Maruko, and then withdrew her gaze.

This party saw the old man snort coldly, "Girl, this is a human trafficker, this is in Daliang, but she wants to go to the official mansion." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, this file just came to talk to her about the official law, looking at the appearance of Xiao Wanzi, I don't know how long I have been lingering outside, this grandfather, but he is really a blood relative.

She said patiently and softly: "If the old man thinks it's inappropriate, how about I add another fifty taels?" ”

"Senior sister!" Xiao Maruko suddenly said anxiously: "He's a bad guy!" Can't give him money! ”

The old man glared at Xiao Maruki angrily, and Xiao Maruko suddenly retracted, which made it easy to see the old man take a step forward, and immediately grabbed Xiao Maruki's arm, and forcibly dragged Xiao Maruko out from behind Chu Nian.

Chu Nian noticed a detail, this old man never dared to look at Xiao Maruki even once.

Qingyi on the side had sensitive ears, and this stall was attached to Chu Nian's ear and said: "I heard others say, this old man is the head of this village, but the family is patriarchal, his second son gave birth to three daughters, some Taoist priests said that the fourth will be a son, the family was ecstatic, and when Xiao Maruko was born and was a girl, the old man threw Xiao Maruki out in a fit of anger, fortunately, a family later looked at Xiao Maruki was young and pitiful, and secretly raised Xiao Maruki to be sensible, but the family died violently for some reason. ”

"Since then, Xiao Maruko has been living on the streets, and no one dares to adopt her, saying that Xiao Maruko is a lonely star in the sky, killing the male in the old village chief's family, and killing the family who adopted her, so she was spurned."

"How did Maruko know that her parents were the village chief's family?" Chu Nian looked sideways at Qingyi.

Then I heard Qingyi whisper: "Master wanted to bring people back directly when he came over, but the old village chief saw that Master seemed to be a powerful person, so he detained the person, Master originally thought that this girl could be better off with her biological parents, so he promised her to pick her up again after a while, and Master didn't expect that this child would be on the street again." ”
