Chapter 6: Return to Earth

In the early morning, there were many merchant ships full of goods docked at the wharf, and the boatmen lowered their masts and boats, and before they had time to wait for the ships to stop, they were busy unloading their goods.

On the nine-hole stone bridge across the river, three or five hawkers carried flat burdens full of rice, grains, vegetables and fruits on their shoulders, and hurried to the market town on the opposite bank.

Xi Xiaoshen and Mama Luo's boat slowly docked, and she followed the sound of selling in a low voice, and saw the mottled shadows of the trees at the end of the stone bridge, the mist covering the bluestone paved streets, and the buildings and houses with blue bricks and tiles faintly visible.

"When you arrive, this is Qixia Town. Mama Luo looked at the familiar Lihe dock excitedly, and said in a trembling voice, "How many years have passed, and it has never changed." ”

"Mama, do you say that my grandmother still remembers me?" Xi Xiaoshen smiled hopefully, her eyes crooked like a crescent moon.

When taking the boat, Mama Luo told her that the Xi family was a well-known matrilineal family in Qixia Town, and Mrs. Xi was the head of the family. And she was born in the Xi family, and later because she was sick and weak since she was a child, she would recuperate in Qingyu Mountain, and she stayed for 16 years.

"Of course, you are the old lady's favorite granddaughter. Mama Luo caressed Xi Xiaoshen's round cheeks lovingly, although she pretended not to be injured, Mama Luo could still see at a glance that she had lost the memory of the demon.

That's okay, when she left the Xi family because she showed her demonic nature, now that she is back, let's live as an ordinary person!

"Mama, let's go, I can't wait to go home. Xi Xiaoshen bent down to pick up her little baggage, and Mama Luo touched her soft long hair, and snuggled up to each other and walked onto the board.

None of them noticed that in the pile of colorful baggage at the bow of the boat, a small fluffy snowball poked its head out, looking for the figure of Yu Xiaogray with those obsidian eyes.

After searching for a long time, the little white dog finally saw her, and he hurriedly jumped out and, under the surprised eyes of the boatmen, ran to the dock.

Along the way, it was afraid of being found and thrown into the river, hiding in the pile of baggage, enduring hunger and loneliness, and silently accompanying Xi Xiaoshen. The closer it got to the Terran market town, the more it didn't dare to expose its demonic power, lest it be targeted by those sect disciples and cause unnecessary trouble.

It was covered in mud and looked dirty, not cute at all, like a stray dog that could be found everywhere in the streets. But it squeezed into the crowd regardless of it, and was kicked heavily by someone, but it didn't pay attention to it, got up and continued to follow Xi Xiaoshen.

Mama Luo and Xi Xiaoshen passed by a fat powder stall, and the excited smiles of those girls made Xi Xiaogray unable to take her eyes off.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and she couldn't help but slow down and look at each other with interest as she watched the girls rub rouge and powder each other's faces.

In order to save a penny or two, they bargained with the boss who sold fat powder, and there were all kinds of strange reasons, and some people even complained that the boss was too old and affected the mood of buying things.

Xi Xiaoshen was looking energetic, and a brightly dressed girl suddenly walked over, pointed to dozens of boxes of rouge gouache on the stall, and said to the boss: "I want all of these." ”

In the dissatisfied complaint, Xi Xiaoshen raised her eyes to look at this lazy Hao sister. She is graceful and wearing a purple gauze skirt, her delicate face is as delicate as a flower, her demeanor is like a blooming snow lotus, and her appearance is like a bright and dazzling light, which eclipses those girls who are in their youth.

This eldest lady is indeed beautiful, but the expression of egoism in the sky and on the ground gives people a sense of alienation.

However, this kind of local tyrant guest has always been the favorite of the bosses, and the owner of the rouge stall is no exception. He said yes with a sneer on his face, wrapped all the rouge gouache in his hands, and respectfully handed it to the young lady.

Xi Xiaoshen shook his head and was about to turn away, but saw a sneaky hunchbacked man squeeze behind the young lady, quickly stretched out his shriveled and swarthy fingers, like a crab clip, and in the blink of an eye, he snapped the purse hanging from her waist.

Thief?!Xi Xiaoash saw that he had just succeeded, and slipped out of the crowd like a loach. But no one else even found out, even the young lady who was stolen was unaware.

In a hurry, Xi Xiaoshen shook off Mama Luo's hand, shouted "catch the thief", and chased after her agile body.

"Little Ash, where are you going...... Mama Luo was worried that she would be retaliated against by the thief, so she was so frightened that her heart rose to her throat, and she hurriedly chased after her with the crowd.

Hearing a commotion behind her, the young lady looked down and saw that her waist was empty, and there was still the shadow of her purse.

Her apricot eyes widened, and she chirped angrily: "Damn thief, you actually touched Miss Ben's body?

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and when they heard the movement coming from here, they gathered around one after another, but the thief had nowhere to escape, and Xi Xiaoshen grabbed the man's arm, his bright eyes shining, and pointed at him and accused: "It's you who stole the purse, hand it over quickly!"

Before the words fell, the thief was so anxious that he stomped his feet, raised a pair of triangular eyes, and threatened her angrily: "Stinky girl, you dare to meddle in your affairs, you are tired of ......"

The thief saw that Xi Xiaoshen was just a little girl, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he used his brute force to push her away.

Xi Xiaoshen subconsciously dodged, her reaction was faster than other girls, but there was nothing outstanding about her, she looked like an ordinary person.

"Little Ash, Little Ash......" Mama Luo hurriedly stepped forward to protect her in her arms, but when she saw that the thief was unrelenting, she pounced on them with her teeth and claws.

Seeing this, the onlookers angrily scolded the thief for being too arrogant, but no one dared to stop him. At this moment, the little white dog rushed out of the crowd and jumped up, biting the thief's thigh fiercely.

"Where did the dog come from?" the thief grinned in pain, and in a fit of rage, his fist rained down on the little white dog. Its petite body was overwhelmed, and it bit tightly, "wooing" and roaring, but it didn't let go.

Soon after, a catcher who heard the news and heard the report of the enthusiastic people, he kicked the thief to the ground with his foot raised, and took out the bulging purse from his trouser pocket.

Seeing that the thief had been arrested and quickly subdued, Mama Luo asked Xi Xiaoshen with trepidation: "Are you not hurt, are you?"

"Isn't that good for me!" Xi Xiaoshen turned his head to look at the little white dog who wagged his tail to flatter, stroked its round head, and said softly, "Thank you, you saved me just now." ”

"Wangwang......" The little white dog suddenly smiled, jumped over and ran over to rub Xi Xiaogray's ankles, and was afraid that the mud on her body would dirty her dress, so she hurriedly took two steps back.

Its clumsy appearance made Xi Xiaoshen chuckle, and was about to pick it up, when she suddenly heard the catcher muttering impatiently behind her: "This is your dog, take it, take it, don't get in the way." ”

Xi Xiaohui looked back and saw the catcher, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Uncle, you are so good." ”

She cooperated with Zhukuai to catch the thief, and she didn't expect the yamen to award her the Good Townsman Medal, but she didn't expect Zhukuai to put on a stinky face and reprimand: "Whose girl is this?

Xi Xiaoshen's good deeds were counted down, and he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart: "Who stipulates that the girl can't catch the thief?

She was speechless when she asked her, but in front of everyone, she had to argue with her head: "What kind of system does the girl's family fight with thieves in public!"

Xi Xiaoshen was accused for no reason, and she only felt inexplicable: "Is it wrong for me to help the yamen catch the thief? Just because I am a girl, I have to watch the thief escape and not stop it?!"

"Wang, Wang, Wang......" The little white dog rushed to the catch and barked non-stop, and also screamed for the little gray. With a gloomy face, he yelled and urged everyone to "get out of the way", and ran away with the thief.

"Unreasonable! Hmph!" Xi Xiaoshen helped Mama Luo out of the crowd, but was stopped by the young lady who took back the purse.

Xi Xiaoshen thought that she was going to thank her in person, so she hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, "You're welcome, I just did what I had to do......"

"A tenacious girl!" the young lady immediately interrupted her words and sneered, "It's not that you lost your purse, but you are pulling and pulling with that kind of thief, and meddling in your business!"

As she spoke, she turned and walked away, leaving a bewildered face of Xi Xiaoshen. Although I broke my head and couldn't remember a lot of things, I could at least tell right from wrong.

Stealing money is a thief, helping someone is considered brave, and receiving favors should be grateful, is her perception wrong?

While Xi Xiaoshen was meditating, Mama Luo looked at the back of the young lady and shook her head thoughtfully, "This girl, it looks a little familiar? Forget it, it's important to hurry!"
