The pickets dragged the body onto a stretcher, covered it with a white cloth, and carried it away, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

Passers-by dispersed like ant colonies that had lost their aim, and as they walked, they were still discussing with relish.

"I heard that it was because her daughter was arrested and sent to the correctional center, but she was not convinced, so she asked the picket team to theorize."

"Going to a correctional center? So her daughter is a thief? ”

"yes."

"What's the good theory of that, if the pests are not sent to the correctional center, will they still be a scourge to the country?"

"After all, it's my own flesh and blood."

"What's wrong with my own flesh and blood, if I gave birth to her, I would definitely drown her in the commode that day!"

"This woman is also unlucky, she gave birth to a thief."

"What's unlucky, I've heard people say, as long as a person commits evil, the gods will turn that person's offspring into thieves, this woman may have done some heinous and bad things, don't pity her......"

The conversation of these people was all listened to by Xu Shuo and the others, Junxiong clenched his fists, and Baozi was angry, and immediately waved his fists at the few people who spoke and scolded: "Your mother has created evil, isn't it good that people can control whether they give birth to thieves?!" ”

The gossiping people were startled and looked at the bun in surprise.

Xu Shuoxin couldn't say it well, so he hurriedly covered the mouth of the bun, and after smiling at the few people, he said "The child is not sensible", and dragged the bun away quickly before a few people reacted.

The group walked briskly for a while, and did not stop until they were far away from the correctional center.

Xu Shuo said to Baozi a little tiredly: "Don't be so public, are you afraid that those people don't know that we are thieves?" ”

Baozi twisted his head and whispered: "He scolded our mother, you are not angry, I am angry, it is unlucky enough to give birth to a child who cannot support the elderly, and I will be said badly......"

Xu Shuo was speechless for a while, unlike a natural thief like Baozi, he chose his own vocation, and he had no concept of his mother's title, so he never substituted the feelings of Baozi and others.

But having said that, in a situation like the one just now, it is still very dangerous to express your inner thoughts at will.

Xu Shuo opened his mouth and wanted to say two words of advice, but Baozi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, my fault, I won't say it next time, really, we don't even have the right to defend our mother...... Gone, went to eat buns, I starved to death. ”

After saying that, Baozi walked to the front on his own and continued to play the role of leading the way.

Xu Shuo had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips and replaced them with silent sighs. He turned to look at Lilian, who looked gloomy and preoccupied.

Xu Shuo could roughly guess what Lilian was thinking, and he hoped that Lilian wouldn't think like that, but there was no way.

The five of them wordlessly came all the way to the delicatessen that Baozi said.

After seeing the steaming buns on the steamer, the buns raised their hands and shouted excitedly: "Buns and buns!" Boss, give me meat buns! ”

The owner of the deli is a middle-aged man with a mustache, as soon as he saw the buns, he smiled and said: "This is not a bun, I haven't seen you for a while, I thought you wouldn't come in the future, good boy, people look quite energetic, yes, I want a few buns, I'll give you a nine-percent discount today!" ”

"Nine folds? Then we need eighty! Baozi said.

The boss stroked his beard and said, "Then what can I do, I only have thirty or forty here." ”

"It's steaming now, we'll just wait."

The boss was stunned.

"You're serious, I thought you were joking."

"Who is joking with you, seeing this no, our big brother of the gold lord." Baozi triumphantly patted Xu Shuo's back, "Rich!" ”

Xu Shuo hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, you're mistaken, the money is Lilian's, I don't have any money."

"Oh," Baozi understood, stood beside Lilian, pointed at Lilian, and said, "Sister Jin! ”

The boss smiled and nodded.

"I see, I see, I see...... Wife, how many buns are there that haven't been steamed yet? The boss asked the proprietress who was kneading the dough behind her.

"There are thirty of them that are not steamed!" The proprietress said.

"Then pack twenty more, there are guests who want it."

After the boss instructed, he took out an idle steamer from the store, put the steamed buns that had been wrapped but not yet steamed, and said to Xu Shuo and others standing outside the store: "Come in, the buns will wait for a while, we have no seats in the shop, but it is at least warmer to stand inside than outside." ”

"Okay." Baozi was not polite, walked into the store, and squatted on the edge of the stove to warm his hands.

Xu Shuo hesitated for a moment, and then went in, he squatted beside the bun and spread his frozen ten fingers towards the fire.

"If you buy eighty, you want to take them back to the rest of the village, right?" Xu Shuo asked.

"Of course, can we finish it?" Baozi said.

"But if you buy it like this, it will freeze hard in the village, right?"

"It's okay, just put the bun in your arms and warm it up for a while, you can make it warm."

Xu Shuo glanced up at the steaming steamer, thinking about whether to buy one and go back to steam, but finally gave up, although most of the things had been packed and sent to the city gate, but the rest of the goods were still full of bags and small bags on their arms, and they didn't have the strength to carry another steamer at all.

Thinking like this, Xu Shuo suddenly felt so tired, today they walked a lot of roads, fighting and carrying things, and they would have to walk for two hours back to the village, they were busy with the work at hand before and didn't notice it, and now they only feel that the soles of their feet hurt, and they are tired.

"I'll squint for a moment, and call me when you leave." Xu Shuo said, got up and found a corner, sat down against the wall, didn't care about any image, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in someone's store.

As his consciousness gradually blurred, Xu Shuo felt something pressing on his shoulder, and at the same time, a nice and familiar smell of milk also wafted into the tip of his nose. Xu Shuo's eyes opened a slit and saw Lilian leaning her head sideways on his shoulder, her eyes closed with a tired face.

It seems that even the dragon girl can't stand running around the world all day.

Having said that, sometimes this little girl is quite shy, and sometimes she doesn't seem to care too much about the details, and things like this leaning over without saying a word seem to happen only when she is not very conscious, such as when she is drunk, or she doesn't wake up. Like now, I guess I'm too tired to think, right?

Xu Shuo closed his eyes again, feeling the breath from Lilian while waiting for time to pass.
