"Alas, that back is so familiar, where do you seem to have seen that melon baby?" said a savage man.
"You're mistaken, a baby is not a beast. ”
"Ah, Daddy, that little brother seems to be the smoke he just met, and he disappeared with a "whoosh". ”
At this time, the one below was almost the same age as Manxi, and said lightly that when Manxi didn't slip away, this baby inadvertently glanced at him.
Just as these people came back to their senses, Manxi had already disappeared without a trace, and disappeared into the crowd.
A figure slowly walked from a corner, this person was the man who had been walking in the alley in order not to attract attention, and did not dare to show up with the place where people gathered.
At this time, it was already dark, and the flow of people on the road was also reduced, and only a few people were still walking on the way home.
Manxi stood on the side of Lima Road, quietly feeling the warmth and coldness of life, feeling the various states of the world, and feeling the long-lost human atmosphere with his heart, full of tranquility and peace.
"Child, is it cold? Grandma gave you the clothes. A woman pulled her child for fear of the evening breeze, so she draped her coat over the baby.
However, there was a beggar in the street, dressed in tatters, with crippled legs and feet, and no ability to work, so he begged on the side of the road, but no one felt pity for him and extended a helping hand to help a disabled person.
"The world is ruthless, irrational and sincere. Joy and sorrow, a hundred years of red and pink skull"
The barbarian who was watching from the sidelines only heard the rumbling sound at this time, as if it was thunder. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he clutched his stomach to find food.
Manxi, who has been turning the whole street almost over, has not found anything to eat until now, and it can be said that his chest is pressed against his back when he is hungry, and the rumbling sound is bursting.
When he was helpless for a while, a rich fragrance wafted from nowhere. His two big eyes suddenly widened like a toad, and a pair of dark and clear peach blossom eyes puffed out.
His eyes were bright, and he half-bent over and began to walk into the deep alley, all the way to a restaurant with the smell of the air emanating from it.
As the saying goes, "The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, which attracts a sad drunkenness." However, Manxi did not come because of the smell of wine, but because he was too hungry, he was attracted by the strong smell of wine.
At this time, at the edge of the alley, a restaurant, there are wine tanks everywhere, and the taste is called the word "thick" dozens of large and small wine tanks, all of which are sealed by a ball of red cloth.
In the hotel, some drunkards sang loudly to drink 3,000 cups, and the three of them raised their glasses to relieve a thousand sorrows.
Under the quaint wooden table, there were already five or six jars of wine jars, and several people were drunk like mud, and finally lay down on the table.
When Manxi walked to the restaurant, he was tempted by the fragrance and couldn't look directly, so when he came to the front, he directly pulled up the wine cloth cover, almost inserted one end, slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and his body shook directly and almost fell down, and finally refreshed himself or stood firm.
"What is this? The smell is so strong, why is my head a little dizzy?" Manxi said with a hard shake of his head, unable to bear it.
"Alas, little friend, you can't drink this, something will happen. Suddenly, an extremely kind-faced shopkeeper walked out of it, and hurriedly blocked it so that Manxi didn't want to stick in.
"Well, isn't it just a jar of water, it's really not a big deal. By the way, is there anything to eat?" said Manxi without care, and then lowered his head embarrassedly and whispered.
"Yes, that's a lot, I don't know what Xiaoyou plans to eat. ”
"I don't know what's delicious, by the way, what do you have here?" said Manxi with wide eyes and disapproval.
"Xiaoyou is really interesting, then I will say, we are well-known far and near, Gujing tribute wine, salted duck, big elbow, roast leg of lamb, raw venison, etc."
"Okay, okay, why haven't I heard what I said, what sheep, what legs have I heard, what is practical, take it when you are full. Manxi looked like an adult, his expression was very serious, and his hands were folded behind his back.
In the past, the patriarch of the barbarian barbarian Xixue was the most similar, that is, even the patriarch praised him, and his acting talent was extremely high.
"Little hairy boy, your tone is quite big, are you rich?" said the little second brother with a mocking expression.
"Heh! underestimate people, right, the master has nothing, just a lot of money, look, sample. Xiao Manxi's disdainful expression and words were like an adult, without any immature voice, he shook the cloth bag on his shoulder, as if it was full of money.
"Oh, I'm going to see if you're going to cry or laugh. The little second brother completely betrayed him with an expression of disbelief, and turned around as he walked, and whispered with a pout.
After a while, a table of rich feasts was displayed in front of him, and what he looked at was dumbfounded, with elbows, roast leg of mutton, small flower chicken, etc., a table full of gluttonous feasts, steaming, charming aroma, and making people drool when they saw it.
Standing up violently, he was stunned for a minute without moving, his eyes stared at the big meal on the table, his nose moved slightly, smelling her fragrant heat, and he was suddenly awakened by the words of the little second brother.
"What's the matter, I haven't seen it, right?"
"Hey, you're looking at the flat people, I've eaten more than you've seen, it's just that I haven't eaten for a long time. ”
When Manxi saw such a rich dinner in front of him, his heart had already rolled like a monstrous wave, and he was still constantly hiding his eyes that he had never seen the world, and then he picked up his elbow and brought it to his mouth, opening his mouth and biting desperately.
"Sample, little glutton, see how you settle the bill later. "This little second brother is also very interesting, and he has to argue with a seven or eight-year-old baby, and he really wants to see his ugly appearance.
It was getting late, and the scenery was beautiful in the middle of the night, and the faint starlight was like fireflies, lighting up the dark night sky.
The scenery under the starry sky is the most beautiful without any flaws, and the lights of thousands of homes can clearly illuminate the deepest warmth of everyone's heart. Everyone can let go of fatigue, let go of thoughts, let go of everything and sleep completely with an empty shell, and no longer crush their hearts with thoughts and dreams.
However, Manxi has never felt such warmth since the death of his parents, no matter how good the patriarch and Grandpa Green are to him, he always feels that there is an impenetrable barrier, and he always feels that the warmth does not belong to him.
The town under the night sky, quiet outside Finland, has long been out of the noisy city, as if it has never been noisy here, and the tranquility is a little uncomfortable.
There was an extra pile of bones on the ground.
It only took a quarter of an hour for Xiao Manxi to finish a big meal, which frightened the little second brother on the side so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time. Two eyes stared straight at Manxi's mouth and stomach, his mouth never stopped at all, and how did a five or six-year-old child actually eat a table of dishes.
"How did you do it?" The little second brother on the side, holding his stomach with both hands, said lightly, but his expression was no longer calm.
"Ah,,, I'm full, it's so delicious. Manxi burped for a while and said happily.
"How is this possible? Won't his stomach stretch open?" said the shopkeeper with a look of disbelief, and immediately reacted and called directly, "Eat enough, drink enough, bring the silver." ”
"What silver, gold, I haven't heard of it" Manxi didn't care and directly pushed away the little second brother's arm and stood up.
"Okay, you and I already knew you were going to do this, the boss has someone who wants to eat the overlord meal. This time, the shopkeeper, looking like a villain, pinched his waist with both hands, and shouted that an extremely kind-faced old man came out of it about sixty years old.
"What a bully meal, this is the first time I've heard of it. The boss was a little chubby, walked slowly, and said with a kind face.
"That's him. The little second brother pointed at Manxi and said.
"Well, how a child, are you mistaken. The boss looked disbelieving and asked Xiao Er again.
"That's right, it's this melon baby, don't look at him small, the so-called people are big ghosts. The shopkeeper said unrelentingly.
"Wait, can you please say something, you're all done, what am I going to say?" Manxi interrupted.
"Then you say"
"What is the silver tael?" Manxi's move this time can be described as stunned by the two of them, and the four words that were simple and clear were asked to the two of them in one sentence.
Dare to ask the world that people don't know what silver taels are, but as long as the people in the world don't know, silver taels are indispensable things in life, not to say that everything is indispensable, but everything can be used.
However, Manxi is a little boy who walked out of the mountain col in the great wilderness, he has never touched or seen it since he was a child, and he has never used this thing in the family.
"I really don't know what?" said the boss with a questioning expression.
"I really don't know, why don't you take it out and take a look. Manxi said innocently, blinking with big eyes.
"Boss, don't believe him, this baby just said that he has, but now he says that he doesn't know this thing, isn't it a bit unreliable?"
"This" The boss took out a handful of broken silver from his arms questioningly, and took it out to show him, but he was about to stretch out his finger to see what was going on, but was stopped by Xiao Er, for fear that he would snatch it directly and run away.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it. Manxi shook his head disapprovingly and told everything.
"Then what should you count if you eat so much of my food?" Xiao Er said.
"What else can I do, eat other people's things, and work for others!" Manxi said such a thing like an adult at best.
"Okay, manly man, all the words are true. If you can finish the jar, I'll help you stop it." The little second brother wants to settle down and want to be politically under Xiao Manxi, and he has been squinting his eyes at the wine altar and said lightly.
"This seems inappropriate, he's still a child?" the boss couldn't bear to look at Manxi, worried about something big.
"It's okay boss, don't worry, this kid has two hits. ”
"Really, okay, isn't it just one jar of water, and I'm not afraid of ten jars. Xiao Manxi said boldly.
Immediately, a jar of wine was directly moved, and when the lid of the wine was opened, a big gulp was grunted, and then his eyes turned white and he fell down directly.
"Isn't this water?" said the last sentence before he fell, his eyes glowing with golden flowers, and his body staggered under the table.
