Although Chen Ping'an looked thin and weak, when he carried those locust branches on his shoulders, he walked easily in Mud Bottle Lane without reluctance, and looked at the little girl in the red cotton jacket behind him dumbfounded, if she hadn't insisted before, Chen Ping'an would have taken the locust branch on her slender shoulder.

There is a little girl with pigtails standing at the mouth of the mud bottle alley, it is estimated that her cheeks are frostbitten in winter, and her two blushes are very eye-catching, after seeing the girl in the red cotton jacket who is swaggering and carrying the locust branch, she said sullenly: "Li Baohua, didn't you say that you would drop the locust branch and go to the school with me?" ”

The girl in the red cotton jacket didn't listen to it at all, picked up an emerald green locust leaf given to her by Chen Ping'an from the embroidered bag around her waist, and twisted and rotated it to her peers, triumphant.

She had a "you don't have it, I have a lot of yo" expression.

The little girl with pigtails only felt inexplicable, and she didn't know what a broken leaf had to show off, but she just couldn't stand the appearance of Li Baohua, and she was very badly beaten. The problem is that the children who are about the same age in the school, even if it is a thorn like Li Huai, they can't beat Li Baohua, Li Huai was once beaten by her to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, Li Baohua still didn't give up, took off Li Huai's pants, and then threw the pants into the tree, hanging high there, bare-bottomed Li Huai howled all the way back, his mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, without saying a word, he dragged Li Huai to kill Fulu Street together, but he didn't get to Li's house yet, looking at the majestic stone lions on both sides of the street, Painted door god and tall courtyard wall, the woman was angry, and gave Li Huai a violent beating, and even knocked on the door of the Li family, so he pulled his son's ear, and slipped back to the dilapidated house in the westernmost part of the town, but that night the woman slaughtered a chicken and stewed, Li Huai stood on the stool with his bare buttocks, dangling, eating more happily than anyone else, where do you remember being pressed on the ground by Li Baohua and patting his head.

The little girl with pigtails stretched out her hands and gestured the length, and said with disgust on her face: "It's just a locust tree leaf, what's so good, my father gave me a gold abacus last night, and the abacus made of gold is so big!"

It's a pity that the little girl in the red cotton jacket is completely immersed in her own world, and she doesn't care about any golden abacus at all, she continues to gently shake the acacia leaf in front of her partner, her pointed little chin lifted, pointing to Chen Ping'an in front of her, she said: "He gave it to me, I still have it in my bag." ”

The little girl with pigtails sighed, since the first day she knew Li Baohua, it was such a disgusting virtue. She only says what she wants to say, only listens to what she wants to hear, and only does what she wants to do.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many peers on the side of Dragon Riding Alley, the little girl with pigtails would not want to play with her. Many times, even Mr. Qi is helpless to Li Baohua, because Li Baohua will always ask strange questions, but Mr. Qi will answer seriously every time, but unfortunately often can't say the answer that convinces Li Baohua, sometimes Mr. Qi is full of interest to figure out a question, the next day I plan to teach Li Baohua to solve my doubts, but Li Baohua himself forgot what he asked yesterday, and when he thought of fishing for loaches, catching crickets, putting paper kites, and running away, he just put Mr. Qi aside.

Chen Ping'an was carrying those acacia branches on his shoulders, and he couldn't turn his head, so he could only ask a little loudly: "How many people are there in the school now?"

Li Baohua was struggling to change his shoulders to carry the locust branch, and he had changed back and forth many times before, and it hurt hotly.

The pigtail stretched out a palm and replied, "Now there are only five people left, me, Li Baohua, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, and Dong Shuijing." ”

She was idle, and she poured beans from the bamboo tube and said the situation of the school in one breath, "Mr. Qi promised to take us out to study before, and finally to go to the Mountain Cliff Academy to study, at that time, there were fourteen or fifteen people in our school, and the family agreed, and later, most of these rich children who lived in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane did not come to the school because of their illness, and then they heard Li Baohua say that they left the town directly, saying that they went to distant relatives. When I first heard that I was going to go to Mountain Cliff Academy, this group of people was the happiest, I didn't know what they were happy about, they had to follow Mr. Qi for such a long way, they were not tired. ”

The little girl spoke in a childish voice, but she was well organized, a little precocious and mild-mannered, like a little adult. Chen Ping'an remembered Gu Cang for no reason, but she was still different from a hedgehog-like slug.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Then what is your name?"

The little girl with two pigtails said indifferently: "My name is Shi Chunjia, so you can call me Miss Shi." ”

Chen Ping'an was speechless.

Li Baohua dismantled the stage and said: "You just call her a small stone." ”

Shi Chunjia was like a fried kitten, and said angrily to Li Baohua: "Don't shout little stones! Li Baohua, you can't either!"

Li Baohua, who likes to think crankily all day long, at this time, her thoughts and thoughts have already been transferred from the nickname of her little friend to other places, so she didn't pay attention to Shi Chunjia's refutation at all.

Shi Chunjia likes to be more serious, and he takes the trouble to talk to Li Baohua with reason, just to get rid of the unpleasant nickname of "Little Stone", because Shi Chunjia knows that in the future, when he comes to Mr. Qi's Mountain Cliff Academy, as long as Li Baohua calls her Little Stone once, then this nickname is estimated to be completely unshaken.

Listening to the chickens and ducks of the two little girls behind him, Chen Ping'an asked when he was approaching Fulu Street: "There are many houses surnamed Li on Fulu Street, where is your house?"

Chen Ping'an thought that as long as it wasn't the Li family's house with the four surnames, it would be fine.

After all, in order to lure the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain out of the mountain at that time, he used the grandson acacia on Fulu Street to climb the wall of the Li family's mansion, and Chen Ping'an also used a slingshot to break the Li family's two bird food cans.

Shi Chunjia said angrily: "She, she is the family with a locust tree outside the wall, every time the family didn't let her go out, for fear that she would play crazy, she secretly set up a ladder on the wall by herself, and then fell along the locust tree on Fulu Street." Once her father and mother were so angry that they moved the ladder and insisted that she enter through the gate, but she jumped straight down, and she didn't come to the school that month, and for the next two months, she came on crutches. ”

Li Baohua didn't feel embarrassed, but said seriously: "I reflected afterwards, that time I landed in the wrong position, and I shouldn't have poked my feet straight in the middle of winter, so after my leg is healed, I'll try again......"

Shi Chunjia huffed and said, "Isn't it just another half a month off school?"

Li Baohua pouted, "If you don't do it for the third time, you'll be fine." ”

Shi Chunjia said indignantly: "That's because after a year, you have grown up and become tall very quickly, so you can withstand the toss, and it has nothing to do with whether your landing posture is correct or not, there is no half a copper coin!"

Chen Ping'an did not mix with the noisy quarrel of the two little girls, first, he was having a headache, whether he would be recognized by the Li family when the time came, and he closed the door and let the dog go in anger. And then Chen Ping'an is deep in his heart, he envies them very much, envies their happiness and stability, has elders at home, and can study in the school.

Although he had a headache, Chen Ping'an still decided to help Li Baohua and deliver the Huaizhi to her doorstep.

Probably this is the current world newspaper, I just told this little girl in a red cotton jacket that what she promised must be done, but she can only go to the Li family's mansion to throw herself into the net.

I don't know if God finally woke up from the nap, and felt that it was Chen Ping'an's turn to run, the porter didn't recognize him, and Li Baohua didn't let him help carry the locust branch into the house, and the relieved Chen Ping'an was just about to turn around and leave, Li Baohua handed him the locust branch he was carrying on his shoulder, saying that this was her reward.

Chen Ping'an did not refuse the little girl's kindness, carried it on his shoulders casually, and waved goodbye.

The porter had long been accustomed to the strange temper of his own young lady, and even if he brought home a bunch of locust branches that he hated for burning fires, he didn't feel so surprised, but he felt a little sorry for the big red cotton jacket of the young lady, which was much more valuable than those locust branches. When she was less than five years old, she was able to go to the creek and catch a big crab by herself, and when she got home, she raised her little hand high while shedding tears, and there was a crab on her little hand that did not want to let go of the pincers, which made her father and mother and her ancestors feel distressed. To this day, the crab with a blue and black shell and red claws is still kept in her big fish tank, and the young lady really doesn't like to read, so she chats with it when she has nothing to do.

looked at Chen Ping'an's departing figure.

Shi Chunjia glanced at Li Baohua beside him, and said with a smile: "It's him, you broke a front tooth?"

Li Baohua suddenly walked behind Shi Chunjia, held her two pigtails with both hands, and was about to lift them up, "Believe me, this time it will definitely work." ”

Shi Chunjia was so frightened that he hurriedly squatted down, closed his eyes, and waved his hands on the top of his head indiscriminately, so as not to be pulled up by Li Baohua's braid again.

Li Baohua squatted beside her, who was a circle shorter than herself, and said confidently: "Little stone, it doesn't hurt, you haven't tried it a second time, how do you know it doesn't work?"

Shi Chunjia was so frightened that she cried.

The porter couldn't bear it, and relieved the siege of the little shopkeeper of the year-old shop in Qilong Lane, and said: "Just now, Mr. Ma asked Li Huai to give a talk, let the house prepare a carriage here, Miss, you take your luggage, go to the school first, and then leave the town and travel with Miss Shi to the Mountain Cliff Academy." Of course, before going to the school, the young lady can stop by the dragon lane and load Miss Shi's things into the carriage. ”

Li Baohua had no choice but to let go of Shi Chunjia first, his face was full of disappointment, and when he walked into the door together, he didn't forget to feel sorry for Shi Chunjia.

The little girl with pigtails for the rest of her life after the catastrophe silently made up her mind to remove her braids today.

"Huh?"

Li Baohua suddenly let out a voice of surprise and raised his head.

Shi Chunjia followed her line of sight and wondered, "It won't rain." ”

A large black cloud drifted over the town.

From north to south.

The straw sandals boy who had just walked out of Fulu Street was also looking up.

At that moment, the boy was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Where is the black cloud, it is clearly a dense sky flying sword, and countless immortal swords are volleyed in the sky.

The young man slowly turned his neck, his eyes chasing the sword cloud southward.

All of a sudden.

There was a black dot running from south to north, contrary to those flying sword immortals.

The black dot grew bigger and bigger.

In the end, the straw sandals boy with excellent eyesight widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime, in the sky above the south of the town, there was a person stepping on a flying sword and leaning downward, and when he was about more than 100 zhang away from the ground of the town, he stopped for a while, and the man of the sword looked down at the town, his eyes patrolled in all directions, and then he rushed down to the side of Fulu Street.

In the blink of an eye, the sword flew thousands of miles a day, carrying a whistling wind and thunder, and finally landed in front of Chen Ping'an.

The sword hovered half a foot above the ground, and above the sword body, a heroic girl in a dark green robe also hovered above the flying sword body.

The dusty girl grinned, put her hands around her chest, and said heroically, "I think I should say goodbye to you, so I'm here." ”

Just without waiting for the young man carrying the locust branch to say anything, the sword girl with the sword hanging from her waist moved, and the tip of the sword immediately turned around, tilted upward, and disappeared in a flash.

The boy subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the girl and the flying sword had long since disappeared.

The embarrassed young man retracted his hand stupidly, scratched his head, and walked towards Mud Bottle Alley, looking up from time to time.

The straw sandals boy was a little disappointed at first, but he soon became happy, it turned out that Miss Ning was a fairy.

So much so that when Chen Ping'an passed by a shop in Qilong Lane, he spent an unprecedented amount of money to buy a string of sugar gourds and ate them while walking.

Eating and eating, the boy didn't know why, and he was a little empty.

The young man thought about it very carefully, could it be because he felt sorry for the copper coin?
