When I got up in the morning, I had some breakfast at the inn, and I knew from the shopkeeper that most of the business faces were in the east of the city, and Tang Xiaotang and Xiaocui went straight to the east of the city when they left the inn.

It just so happened that today is still a day to catch the market, the old street of bluestone slab is lined with shops on both sides, and the vendors who rush to the market have set up two rows of stalls selling goods in front of the store, and there are more and more people who do small business and come to the market to buy things, and soon this market becomes impassable and crowded.

Tang Xiaotang originally wanted to visit the market, and then go to the cloth shop to see if there were any ready-made warm clothes to buy one, but he was squeezed by the lively crowd in the market. Since Xiao Cui escaped from the boat with Tang Xiaotang, she has become very dependent on her master, for fear of being separated again, and at this time, Xiao Cui is even more nervous to hold one of her arms with both hands, for fear of being squeezed away by the crowd.

Tang Xiaotang was hugged by Xiao Cui's arm, and it was even more difficult to squeeze forward, and he helplessly comforted Xiao Cui and said: "Xiao Tong, relax your hands, it hurts me!" ”

The two were wearing men's clothes, and at this time, they were seen as two big men, and they couldn't tell clearly.

"Young Master Hai, there are too many people here, are you sure we want to continue shopping?" Tang Xiaotang gave himself the name "Tang Hai", Xiaocui felt that it was more pleasant to call Young Master Hai, these days it has been called Shunzui, and the two of them naturally called each other's fake identities in front of outsiders.

Tang Xiaotang glanced at the still crowded road in front of him, looked down at the two small hands on his arms, shook his head helplessly and pointed to the shop on the side of the road and said, "Hey, let's go, let's go to the side and look for a store to buy clothes."

Pulling Xiaocui to squeeze out the lively crowd, along the periphery of the market stalls, looking for shops selling clothes. It's easier to walk by the side, there aren't as many people inside, but it's still very slow. didn't go far, and the previous truth was blocked by the crowd again.

"Young Master Hai, listen, it seems that there is a quarrel ahead!" Xiao Cui pulled Tang Xiaotang's sleeve hard, pointed to the group of people in front of him, and said.

The group of people blocked the way, like a human wall, and the people stood there without moving forward, and from the human wall there was a girl crying and muttering. Intermittently, I heard a girl crying and praying.

"Let's go and have a look." Tang Xiaotang grabbed one of Xiao Cui's hands with his backhand, held her tightly and pulled her closer to him, and pulled Xiao Cui into the human wall.

Tang Xiaotang was wearing a man's clothes, and when he squeezed into the crowd, he had to pay attention to avoid the side of the female dependents as much as possible, for fear that men and women would not kiss each other, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

I saw a thin little girl, kneeling under the steps in front of a medical center, kowtowing to the store and praying: "Please, save my mother, please!" ”

The little girl was wearing plain coarse cloth patched clothes, and on her feet was a pair of straw sandals, the soles of which had been worn very badly, as if she couldn't help but fall apart in a few steps. Seeing that the girl begged for a long time, no one in the hospital came out, and there were people watching the excitement all around, but no one stood up and asked, Tang Xiaotang wanted to go forward and pull the girl up to inquire about the situation, to see if there was anything that needed help, and if he could help, he would help this poor girl.

As soon as he raised his foot and took half a step, he heard a delicate female voice, with a hint of anger, sounding from behind Tang Xiaotang: "What kind of doctor will you do if you don't save you when you die!" ”

The voice came from the periphery of the crowd behind him, Tang Xiaotang followed the voice and turned back curiously to look outside the crowd, wanting to see who was talking, but saw that the crowd behind him was similar to Tang Xiaotang's movements, turned around and looked, and naturally branched out a way, and a girl in a pink dress walked through this gap in the crowd.

This touch of pink passed by Tang Xiaotang, and gently rubbed shoulders with her, the girl tilted her head and glanced at Tang Xiaotang, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but look at it more, only to see that it was a delicate big girl, twenty-eight years old, goose egg face, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, cherry mouth, two small buns combed left and right on her head, with pink ribbons tied on them, and her face was even more rounded, which was very good-looking.

While Tang Xiaotang looked at the girl in pink, the girl also frowned slightly and looked at Tang Xiaotang. His eyes flickered for a moment when he met Tang Xiaotang's eyes, smiled at Tang Xiaotang, turned his head to the girl kneeling on the ground without speaking, and walked to the girl kneeling on the ground. He lowered his body and reached out to take the girl's arm, motioning for the little girl to stand up.

"Isn't it a joke that you beg them to save you, this girl, the healer, and you are kneeling for them here, and they are all turning a blind eye? Arise, and tell me who is sick and needs to be healed. The girl in pink said lightly, pulled up the little girl who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of her mouth rose with two small dimples, and she looked at her with a smile in her eyes, waiting to hear her answer.

"This sister, my brother is sick, my family is dependent on my brother and me, this time my brother has been sick for a long time, I don't have enough money, but if anyone can save my brother, I am willing to sell myself as a slave to pay for medical expenses, just to save my brother, huh, huh......" The little girl said sadly, and couldn't help crying again.

"Don't cry yet, where is your brother? Take me to see it. When the girl in pink saw her crying again, she interrupted her continued weeping and asked her about her brother's whereabouts.

"This sister, are you a doctor? Can you cure my brother? Listening to the meaning of the girl in pink, she should know how to heal, the little girl immediately rose to hope, and asked the girl in pink with surprise in her eyes.

"Well, you take me to see your brother's situation first." Although the girl in pink did not clarify her identity, the confidence in her eyes had already given the answer.

The pink-clothed girl's determined eyes gave the little girl hope, and she immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, thinking excitedly that maybe this time her brother was saved! took a breath to stabilize his excitement, and said to the girl in pink: "I brought my brother, in the alley over there." ”

The little girl's gaze crossed the crowd and pointed to the opposite alley with one hand.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." The girl in pink didn't have much more, and immediately took the girl's hand and was about to walk towards the opposite alley.

The crowd automatically made a way out of the way, and the two girls walked out side by side, towards the alley opposite.

Tang Xiaotang saw that people were gone, and there were less than half of the people watching the excitement in front of the medical hall, and it was immediately a lot deserted.

"Young Master Hai, should we go and have a look?" Xiaocui saw that everyone was following the two girls, and she also wanted to go over to have a look, but the young lady next to her didn't mean to move, and looked at Tang Xiaotang inquiringly and asked for her opinion.

"Don't go to join in the fun, take advantage of the lack of people at this time, and leave quickly." Tang Xiaotang didn't want to join in the fun, the girl in pink just now was not a simple origin at first glance, "We hurried up to buy clothes and had to hurry, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, Tang Xiaotang felt that it was important to hurry, the pink-clothed girl just now looked at her with the wrong eyes, and she didn't want to make trouble for herself because of curiosity now.

No longer looking at the alley opposite, Tang Xiaotang turned around and was about to leave with Xiaocui, just in time to see the medical hall that was still closed just now, the two doors that were still closed just now seemed to be closed, at this moment the door panel trembled slightly, squeaked and opened a gap, a human head came out of the gap, and then the body of a short and fat man appeared at the door, the man was tiptoe and frowned, looking nervously at the alley opposite.
