The capital city of Pengzhou is the center of a state and county, and it is naturally very lively. On the streets, peddlers and pawns, oxen, mules, carts and horses, come and go, endlessly. The vendors on both sides are constantly shouting, and the strong atmosphere of life is blowing in the face.

Hakuzaburo hadn't seen it in two years, and since he could remember, his favorite thing was to sneak out of the house and go down the street to buy four strings of his favorite sugar gourds.

One string for the father, one for the mother, one for the second brother, and the last one for himself.

But every time he would make the streets a mess, and every time he could make Daddy angry, but he couldn't help him.

Since his father and mother decided to move the Bai family to the suburbs, he has gradually become sensible at that time, and he has never been on the street again. Seeing the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of me again, I inevitably felt a sense of melancholy in my heart, as if I was in a different world.

"Sugar gourd, delicious, fragrant and sweet sugar gourd~"

At the mouth of an alley on the street, a little brother walked out carrying a sugar gourd and was shouting hard. Clusters of red fruits are neatly inserted on the shoulder-resistant haystacks, shining brightly in the sun, making people hungry.

The children were worried that the adults wanted to buy it, and if they didn't buy it, they would cry, and after finally buying it, they smiled with satisfaction and ate sweetly.

"Third brother, I want to eat sugar gourd."

Bai Saburo sat at the table of the wonton stall on the side of the street and said to Zhang San, who was picking his teeth beside him.

If you look closely, you can still see a trace of longing and sadness in his eyes.

Just now they have exchanged names along the way, Bai Saburo only said that his name is Sanlang, and Zhang San didn't study it in detail, probably thinking that they would sell it anyway, it doesn't matter if they know it or not.

When is the time to still think about eating sugar gourds?

Chuan Yun, who was lying at the bottom of the table with Rhubarb, was very incomprehensible, looking at Bai Saburo's appearance, he should know that the six people in front of him had impure intentions, and she didn't understand why he left with them.

If it was only for a moment that she agreed, then now there are people everywhere around, and the proprietress of the wonton stall has been peeking at this side.

She believed that as long as he opened his mouth to shout, he would definitely attract everyone's attention, and then help the official, and maybe someone would stand up to help immediately.

After all, in this world, there are still more good people than bad people.

"The boss is not small, what kind of sugar gourd do you eat?"

The fat man who was eating melon seeds on the other side of Baishan opened his mouth in disgust, and pretended to glare at him fiercely as he spoke, meaning to let him settle down and not do much.

As everyone knows, his fat face squeezes his eyes to only a slit, and his appearance is very funny, and he looks only eighteen or nineteen years old.

There were originally five of them together, and when they arrived at the wonton stall, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his breath was magnificent, and after arriving, he was panting and panting for a while before he calmed down, and he didn't know what bad things he had done, and he looked blind and looked like he was blind.

Hearing this, Zhang Shan stopped the action of picking his teeth, flicked the little finger of the toothpicking with his thumb, and commanded. "Little four, go buy one and come back."

"Third brother~" The fat little four did not follow.

"I want four." Bai Saburo asked, and he was not in a hurry to explain.

"Whoa...... You little broken child, you have to pay back an inch. The fat little four was slightly angry, thinking secretly, but he was just a prisoner, and he really thought he was a petite son?

He slammed the table, startling a few people who were watching the eldest daughter-in-law and the little girl on the street.

"Zhang Si, what are you doing with a turtle and a calf? Frightened Lao Tzu. ”

The man who didn't deal with Zhang Si much on weekdays turned around dissatisfiedly and cursed.

Fat Xiaosi rolled his eyes in an instant.

This monkey is really annoying, always picking on his own ballast day by day. The rest of the room hadn't spoken yet, but he had an opinion.

Obviously, Zhang Si is not a good-tempered master, otherwise he would not even scold a child for a few sugar gourds.

"I can do whatever I want, it's your business, you ......"

Splash monkeys.

Chuan Yun silently answered in his heart.

"Little four."

Zhang San stopped Zhang Si at the right time and continued, his eyes fluttered at the thin man who looked like a monkey, and finally retracted his gaze to look at Zhang Si, his voice softened a little.

"Go buy four sugar gourds for Saburo!"

Yo, I'm willing to pay the cost.

Chuan Yun treated Zhang San a little differently, if Bai Saburo was really a little kid who didn't know the world at this moment, then he must have been blinded by the sugar gourd at this moment.

Don't say "third brother", you are willing to call your brother.

"Third brother~ We don't have much money, you are still used to this ......" Zhang Si still wanted to insist, he didn't want to compromise, and he was small-mouthed.

"Go~" Zhang San's tone was unquestionable.

The fat little four, who was interrupted, curled his mouth, glared at Bai Saburo with his head held high, turned his head to Zhang San and shouted, "Then I want it too." ”

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Zhang San nodded, a touch of pampering in his eyes.

Seeing this, the man known as the "splashing monkey" pursed his lips disdainfully.

Zhang San and Zhang Si looked at the names very similarly, but he knew that these two people were not brothers, he had been following the third brother for several years, and they had done dozens of orders together, and they could be regarded as his right-hand man, but Zhang Si had only been here for two years, and the third brother was so indulgent to him.

If there is a good one, they think of him first, and now they have become like this...... It's unbearable to look at it.

Hmph, he's not convinced.

Bai Saburo, who was watching this farce very quietly on the side, put his eyes on the fat little four who were rushing to the sugar gourd vendor, thoughtfully.

Zhang Si finally bought nine sugar gourds back, and when he bought them, he thought about it, the third brother was his third brother, he bought four for others, and he only had one, and his heart suddenly became extremely unbalanced, so he bought five before he stopped, and his heart finally became comfortable.

It's all his.

"Little broken boy, na~ for you."

Zhang Si threw the four sugar gourds on the table in front of Bai Saburo with a look of charity, and deliberately took the remaining five and shook them in front of his eyes.

Bai Saburo ignored him, only felt that this person didn't have a long brain.

In the past, every time my father came home, he would hide from his mother and bring him a sugar gourd, but in the future, ...... Never again.

Even a home is gone.

Bai Saburo looked at the four sugar gourds in front of him, lowered his eyes, concealed the surging dark tide inside, and said glutinously: "Thank you, brother." ”

Fat Xiaosi saw that he thanked him sincerely, and suddenly felt bored, so he pouted and bit the sugar gourd in his hand, tsk, so sour~

What's the matter, it doesn't look delicious, and I have to buy so much, it's really a little brat, and there are a lot of things.

Bai Saburo didn't lose his temper and didn't accept Zhang Si's bad attitude, but took out a navy blue handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully wrapped all the sugar gourds, and put them in his small back basket.

Zhang San, who was watching his movements, was puzzled: "Why doesn't San Lang eat?" ”

"My mother said that you are not allowed to eat sweets before meals." Bai Saburo looked innocent and innocent.

Looking at the sincerity in San Lang's eyes at the moment, Zhang San didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, how pure San Lang was, how evil he was.

He saw in him a shadow of his former self.

He used to believe in others so sincerely, but what did he get after being enthusiastic, betrayal, framed, and despair......

At this point, there was no turning back for him.
