"By the way, big brother, the teahouse you just talked about is called 'food for the sky'?" Xiaorui suddenly seemed to remember something and asked.

"Huh? You know..."

Just when Xiaorui was about to say something, there was a sudden rush from the street.

"Xiaorui, Xiaorui!"

I saw Xiaorui's face change greatly, and hurriedly ran towards the old grandmother who was calling her, "Granny Li, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, woe to you,"

Granny Li trembled, almost fell to the ground, and was held by Xiaorui, who was quick-eyed, "Xiaorui, your mother fell ill again in the morning, and she ran out of the house and disappeared at some point." ”

"How so? But, but I locked the door..."

Xiaorui was stunned, her memory seemed to be a little blurry, and she couldn't remember whether she locked the door or not.

"I don't know wow, old woman, I saw that the lock fell on the steps in front of the door..."

At this time, Xiaorui was struck by lightning, and she seemed to remember...

Perhaps it was because of the rush to go out in the morning, and the frightened by a vicious dog at that time, the door lock was hung up, but it was not locked.

"Xiaorui, go back and have a look!" Grandma Li pulled Xiaorui's arm and said.

"But, it's a stall..."

Aunt Jin and other hawkers surrounded her and persuaded: "Your stall has us, you can go back with confidence." ”

"Then you're all in for you!"

Xiao Rui was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, and she bowed deeply to the vendors.

He immediately turned his head and ran in the direction of home, hoping that as soon as she returned home, she would see that her mother had returned.

"Alas, what a poor boy."

The vendors all sighed, this is the time when there are many customers, otherwise the big guys will go to help her find Chen Li's.

Shen Xingliu gently opened a package, pinched out a shrimp dumpling with his hand, and swallowed it one by one.

When he turned his head to look at Xiaorui's stall, he saw that the customers took out the shrimp dumplings from the steamer in an orderly manner and threw the money into the cash box, and no one stole and took more, and he was very puzzled.

Aunt Jin also knew his doubts and explained:

"The customers who come to buy shrimp dumplings are all old customers, and they all know the situation of Xiaorui's family, and similar situations have happened before, so we are not surprised."

"I see..."

Shen Xingliu nodded silently.

"Boss, how do you sell oil cakes?"

"Hey, it's coming!"

And Aunt Jin didn't bother to say more, answered, and walked quickly towards the stall.

Leaving Shen Xingliu alone stunned in place, and after swallowing another shrimp dumpling, he raised his steps and walked over unhurriedly following Xiaorui's figure.

The morning market is actually very close to Xiaorui's house, and after walking about half a mile, I turned around and entered the alley.

The pavement of the alley is paved with bluestone slabs, and the ground is slightly water-stained due to the early morning fog.

As for Xiaorui's home, it is not difficult to find, because there are already many neighbors in front of her house.

Shen Xingliu came to the door, and ten shrimp dumplings were just finished.

At this time, he saw Xiaorui holding the broken door lock in his arms, paralyzed in the courtyard and crying, it was obvious that Chen Li did not come back.

......

"Woo woo, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I should have locked the door..."

Xiaorui grabbed her hair in pain, as if this was the only way to make her feel better, "Mother, mother, Daddy has already left Xiaorui, don't you even want Xiaorui?" ”

The neighbors hesitated at the door, not knowing how to comfort her.

Shen Xingliu twitched his nose twice, his heart was panicked, and he immediately squeezed through the crowd, squatted down, and comforted softly:

"Xiaorui doesn't cry, think about it, where might your mother go after she leaves home?"

"Uh-hu-hoo, big, big brother..." Xiao Rui raised her little red face and kept sobbing.

But her little head, after being reminded, was also spinning rapidly, thinking about where her mother might go.

Suddenly, the name of a bridge came to her mind.

"By the way, it must be there, it's the 'Sansheng Bridge', and that's where my father and mother met..."

Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, it must be there!" ”

After saying that, her small body seemed to be full of strength again, dropped the door lock, stood up and thanked her, and hurried out the door.

The neighbors were so frightened that they retreated, "Xiaorui, are you okay?"

She hurried into the alley, and without replying, she looked left and right, and ran in the opposite direction from where she came.

Because that direction is the morning market, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and if Chen Li leaves from there, it will definitely cause a commotion.

And Xiaorui will definitely notice, so Chen Li can only leave from the back street.

"Everyone, let's go together!"

After listening to Shen Xingliu's analysis, the neighbors felt that it was very reasonable, so they shouted and chased after him.

"What a clever little girl..." Shen Xingliu smiled slightly.

Xiaorui had just run a few feet, and on the bluestone slab, she found a row of messy footprints, which also made her more sure of her guess.

Sansheng Bridge is three streets away from Xiaorui's house, and Sansheng naturally refers to "previous life", "present life" and "next life".

There is also a poignant story in which the legend says that when the moon fairy was playing in the fairy world, he accidentally obtained a stone called the "Sansheng Stone".

From the stone, the fairy saw a scholar, and immediately fell in love with the scholar, and even came down to earth for the scholar and came to the world.

As soon as the moon fairy entered the world, there was a lack of moon in the sky, and the emperor was furious, so he sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest the fairy and return to heaven for trial.

And the fairy asked himself if he was an opponent, and in order to protect the scholar from harm, he handed over the Sansheng Stone to the scholar, and then followed the heavenly soldiers and generals back.

Unexpectedly, when the scholar saw his lover leave, he seemed to have infinite strength and ran towards the fairy who was bound by the fairy chain.

Gradually, the scholar discovered that he could actually fly.

The Emperor only glanced at the scholar lightly, and then spun out all the water in the kettle.

"Whoa!"

The water that was splashed out instantly turned into a rushing river, blocking the way of the scholars.

No matter how the scholar runs, he can't get over.

In the end, he made a wish to Sanshengshi, wishing to transform into a rainbow bridge, just asking her to come from the bridge.

As soon as the words fell, the scholar turned into the "Sansheng Bridge", connecting both sides of the river, and the Sansheng Stone also became a stone monument in front of the bridge.

There will be no such scholar in the world in the future, and this is just a story.

As for where the Sansheng Bridge in Lin'an City came from, no one knows, only that it is a stone arch bridge donated by a wealthy man fifteen years ago.

And he also engraved the story of the moon fairy and the scholar behind the stele in front of the bridge, looking forward to the end of the family of lovers.

......

Xiaorui soon came to the back street, only to see that it was a mess, and the vendors were picking up the scattered vegetables.

But these are not the worst, there is a stall of dozens of eggs, all broken, the eggs scattered everywhere.

"Hey, it's Xiaorui, Xiaorui she's here..."

When the vendors saw Xiaorui's figure, they hurriedly surrounded him and complained:

"Xiaorui, you're here..."

"How can you let your mother run out alone?"

"Look at my eggs, they're all rotten..."

Xiaorui couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "Yes, I'm sorry for everyone, it's my fault, I'll clean up the stall for you, and I'll compensate for the loss!" ”

As he spoke, he stuffed half a penny of silver into the hand of the aunt who sold eggs.

When the aunt saw Yinzi, she immediately smiled, "Xiaorui, you are a good boy, you don't need to clean up here, you better go to your mother." ”

"Yes, Xiaorui, you can go quickly..."

The vendors didn't have to deal with the mother and daughter, they just complained.

"But, but..."

At this time, a group of neighbors came behind him and persuaded: "Xiaorui, go quickly, we are here." ”

As far as the eye can see, there are already neighbors helping to clean up the stalls.

"Then please everyone,"

Xiao Rui's heart was warm, blinking her big watery eyes, and asked, "Can you see which direction my mother is going?" ”

"There, we saw your mother go south!" The vendors all pointed to the south.

Sure enough, Xiaorui's guess was right, that direction was the "Sansheng Bridge", and she said sorry to everyone again, and immediately ran away.

This situation is repeated in the other two streets.

But for the sake of Xiaorui's face, the vendors didn't care about Chen Li's family, after all, it was really not easy for her little girl to raise a crazy mother.

But everyone is a small business, and what is smashed still has to be compensated.

Xiaorui came out in a hurry, and she didn't have a lot of money on her.

"Well, I still have some scattered silver here..."

Just when she was embarrassed, a purse was handed over, and Xiaorui looked up, "Big brother, why did you come with me?" ”

Shen Xingliu smiled and said, "Aren't I relieved?" Let's just come and have a look. ”

After speaking, he threw the purse over, Xiaorui hurriedly caught the purse, weighed the weight, and was surprised in his heart, so much, it is still called scattered silver?

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back!"

Xiaorui opened the purse, compensated all the way, and finally came to the side of the Sansheng Bridge.

At this time, the riverside and the bridgehead were full of onlookers, pointing at the bridge.

......

"Oh, you can't jump here, the water here is deep!"

"Two days ago, I heard that the Zhao family had a teenage child who accidentally fell into the river, although someone immediately went to save him, but after a long time, he was stunned and didn't even catch a figure..."

Shen Xingliu was stunned and asked, "Is it possible, what are the demons and monsters in this river?" ”

"Nonsense, where are there so many ghosts?"

An elderly man explained: "This river leads directly to the Qiantang River, although there is a dam to control the flow of water on weekdays, but this underwater undercurrent is surging, and the ghost knows what happens. ”

Xiaorui panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly squeezed in the direction of Sansheng Bridge.

But there are too many people, Shen Xingliu shook his head when he saw it, it was estimated that it would be too late if he squeezed over, and then put one hand on Xiao Rui's shoulder.

Suddenly her shoulder was patted, Xiaorui was still wondering, and just about to turn her head to look over, she felt that her body was light, her feet quickly left the ground, and she actually flew.

"Woo, help..."

This scene also stunned a group of onlookers, they are all ordinary people, where have they ever seen someone who can fly?
