The touch on his wrist pulled Xiao Yunjiao out of his memory.

She looked up and saw Shen Yuzhou in front of her now.

His robe was crumpled by the crowd, but the basket of pedicles he was holding in his arms was intact.

"Tuan Luan, there are a lot of people here, don't mess around." Shen Yuzhou protected her in front of him and found a space to get out of the crowd.

Xiao Yunjiao realized that they had walked into an alley at some point. Looking left and right, she decided that it was the back wall of a merchant facing the street.

"How did you get here, get out." She turned to get back into the street.

"Wait." Shen Yuzhou didn't let go.

Xiao Yunjiao stood still, and the person behind him did not speak, only heard a sound of Suosuo.

Suddenly, she felt a slight tugging sensation in her hair.

Raised his hand and touched it, and after pulling the heart bun, he was hairpinned with a fresh flower.

She turned her head to look at Shen Yuzhou, with an imperceptible glint in her eyes, "What is this for?" ”

Shen Yuzhou stared at the hairpin he personally put on her and the moon season, and lost his mind for a moment before he spoke: "There are many people outside, I can see it clearly with flowers, and I won't lose you." ”

Xiao Yunjiao looked at Shen Yuzhou's somewhat reddened earlobes, and for some reason the boredom in her heart dissipated a lot. She slowly reached out and brushed her sideburns, two fingertips and a gentle force in one place, pinched off and slid one of them.

Holding the flower in front of his eyes and looking at it for a while, Xiao Yunjiao's lips opened slightly, "You chose a pink one." ”

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, she stared at Shen Yuzhou's eyes, and her vocal cords teased, "This color is very cute, you might as well wear a hairpin if you go far." ”

After speaking, he stood on tiptoe and pinned the flower in his hand in the gap between Shen Yuzhou's silver hair crown.

A breeze with the fragrance of flowers blew, and the petals on the heads of the two trembled together, like two butterflies flapping their wings.

Shen Yuzhou's heartbeat was a beat faster, "Tuan Luan ......"

The words had just begun, but they heard a messy footsteps behind them gradually approaching, and the two looked and saw a group of ragged and unkempt beggars forming a group around the alley.

"Take it out!"

"Let go!"

"Ah...... She bites! Hit her! ”

Then they punched and kicked the people who were tightly surrounded by them.

"Woo......" A small whimper came from the group of beggars, "This is the money I earned from selling flowers, I can't give it to you......"

The voice......

Xiao Yunjiao pulled down Shen Yuzhou's sleeve, "This voice looks like the little girl who just sold flowers." ”

Without thinking much about it, Shen Yuzhou scolded sharply: "Stop! ”

When a few little beggars saw someone coming, they ran in all directions, leaving only a thin figure curled up on the ground.

Xiao Yunjiao ran two steps, squatted down and asked the child on the ground, "How are you?" Can you still move? ”

The head buried between her hands slowly lifted, and sure enough, it was the little girl selling flowers.

"Woo...... Sister ......" The little girl saw her acquaintance and cried loudly, tears flowing through her dirty little face, and two white marks flowed.

Xiao Yunjiao took out a handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and asked again, "Little sister, how are you?" Can you still move? ”

The little girl sobbed and nodded, stood up on the ground, and carefully straightened her soiled clothes. It's a pity that her clothes are shabby, and she has just rolled on the ground several times, and she is already dirty.

Seeing that she didn't have a big deal, Xiao Yunjiao was also a little relieved, "Little sister, what's your name?" Is it okay for my sister to send you home? ”

The little girl nodded, "My name is Xiaohe." ”

Xiao Yunjiao took Xiaohe's hand and stood up, letting her lead the way through the alleys.

Shen Yuzhou followed closely behind the eldest and the other small, and watched Xiao Yunjiao and Xiaohe chat all the way.

In the distance, I saw a flourishing pear tree, and many green fruits were already hanging on the branches. Although the fruit is not very large, the branches and leaves around each fruit have been carefully pruned.

Xiaohe cheered, "This is my home!" ”

As he spoke, he ran over and pushed open the courtyard door, "Mother, I'm back!" ”

Xiao Yunjiao followed Xiaohe into the courtyard, only to see a woman with a cloth towel and her hair holding on to the door frame to greet her.

"Xiaohe is back...... Ahem, ahem...... How did you get dirty like this? ”

Xiaohe ran to the woman's side, took out the silver taels from her arms and handed them to her, "Mother, this is the money I earned from selling flowers today, all for my mother." ”

"This ......" The woman was a little shocked by the weight in her hand, but when she looked up, she saw two people at the gate of the courtyard.

She stood up against the door frame and pulled Xiao He down behind her, "Ahem...... Ahem, I don't know ...... the two of you? ”

Before Xiao Yunjiao could speak, Xiao He poked his head out and explained: "Mother, this is the brother and sister who sold flowers today, and someone wanted to rob me of my silver, and they helped me drive those people away." ”

The woman changed her worries and looked grateful, "It turned out to be two benefactors, and the little woman thanked them and invited her to come in for a cup of tea." ”

Xiao Yunjiao smiled and said: "You are polite, we are relieved to see Xiaohe arrive home safely, this bamboo basket will be returned to you, and we will go back." ”

"Oh, how does this work...... Cough...... Ahem...... the woman coughed violently for a while, "Xiaohe is not sensible, the two of you give you really more money, please wait, I'll go give you change." ”

Xiaohe ran over, took Xiao Yunjiao's hand and walked into the house, "Sister, come in." ”

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the mother and daughter, the two followed Xiaohe into the house.

After a while, the woman came out again with the tea tray, "You have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Thank you two for saving my little lotus, and the little woman thanked me again. The home is simple, so I can only ask the two of you to use some tea, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Xiao Yunjiao took the teacup, "You're welcome, I haven't asked you what to call you?" ”

"The little woman's maiden name is Fang, and her husband's surname is Li." Li Fangshi said this, took out a few pieces of loose silver from his sleeve and put them on the table, "Xiaohe is not sensible, the silver money given by the benefactor is too much, let alone a basket of flowers, even a room is enough, please accept this extra silver money." ”

Xiao Yunjiao didn't answer, took Xiaohe's hand and looked at it, "Sister-in-law Li, Xiaohe broke her hand when she fell, you still have to take medicine in time, don't scar the little girl's family." ”

Li Fangshi looked at Xiaohe in distress, "Does it hurt?" Mother go burn some grass and wood ashes for you to put on a dress. ”

"Grass and wood ash?" Xiao Yunjiao was puzzled.

Li Fangshi pulled the corners of his mouth embarrassedly, "Poor people don't pay so much attention to it, and the girl smiled." ”

Xiaohe sensibly hid his hand behind him, "I don't hurt." ”

Li Fangshi touched his daughter's little face distressedly, and didn't turn his head to secretly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Mother...... Mother! I am back! A child's voice came from outside the door.

But in the middle of a breath, the owner of the voice appeared in the house, a little boy slightly older than Little Lotus.

He obviously didn't expect that there would be many people in the family, so he widened his eyes and stepped forward to block Li Fang's and Xiaohe's front, "Who are you?" Why in my house? ”

Li Fangshi hurriedly stopped him, "Xiaohu must not be rude, these two are the benefactors who saved your sister." ”

Only then did Li Xiaohu put away the thorns all over his body, and his movements were rusty but respectfully bowed to Xiao Yunjiao and Shen Yuzhou, "Thank you to the two benefactors." ”

Xiao Yunjiao couldn't help laughing, "Is your name Xiaohu?" You taught your sister how to sell flowers? ”

Xiaohu nodded, "My mother is sick, my sister and I can treat my mother by selling flowers to make money!" ”

Xiao Yunjiao said, "What about your father?" ”

She hadn't noticed anything of an adult man in the house since she had come in.

"My dad was captured by the mountain god." Xiaohu said sullenly.

Xiao Yunjiao and Shen Yuzhou glanced at each other and asked, "Mountain God? ”

Li Fang's expression was a little uncomfortable, "Xiaohu, don't talk nonsense. ”

He said to Xiao Yunjiao and the others: "The child is still young and ignorant, so the two of them laughed." His father went out to work half a year ago to make a living. ”

Xiaohu's eyes rolled and retorted loudly, "No, I heard people on the street say that there is a Xiaolian Mountain outside Jiazhou City, and the mountain gods on the mountain like to capture men as slaves, and only arrest men." ”

"Little Tiger! It's gibberish again! Li Fangshi scolded and coughed again. Xiaohu hurriedly patted her on the back and smoothed it.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunjiao comforted: "Sister-in-law Li, don't be angry, the fairy tongue is unscrupulous, this ghost and god must not be believed, nor can it be believed." Although everyone says that the mountain gods are haunting, it is also possible that Brother Li is making a lot of money outside! This Lord Shen's caravan is going south and north, why don't you talk about Brother Li in detail, so that Master Shen's people can help find it? ”

Li Fang's eyes lit up a little when he heard this, "The little woman thanked the benefactor first." ”

She curtsied and continued: "My husband's name is Li Dayou, he is twenty-eight this year, he is about six feet long, his life is dark, and his eyes are big...... That's right...... The big tiger looks like him. ”

"Half a year ago, a team of darts passed by our town, and those dart masters drank some wine and talked on the street at night, and the sound was louder for Dayou to hear. Knowing that they could earn a lot of money by taking a dart, and they were short of manpower recently, they had the heart to follow and see. Before leaving, I said that I would return in two or three months, but I haven't heard from me for almost half a year......"

Li Fangshi frowned, "I also know that it is not easy to find someone, the two benefactors are willing to help inquire, and the little woman is really grateful." ”

Saying that, she was about to kneel, but Xiao Yunjiao quickly got up and supported her, "Sister-in-law Li doesn't have to be like this, it's just a matter of raising your hands." Take care of yourself, we won't bother. ”

Saying that, he walked a few steps outside, and saw that Li Fang's was still sending him off, and said again, "Please ask the doctor to take a look at your illness, there are still two children to take care of, you can't fall down." ”

Li Fangshi nodded, and turned around to clean up the teacup after Xiao Yunjiao and the others left, only to find that the broken silver she took out was still left untouched behind the teacup.

"Mother, will my brother and sister help us find Daddy?" Xiaohu asked suspiciously.

Li Fangshi pulled the two children down in front of him and said solemnly: "Xiaohu Xiaohe, you remember, no matter whether your brothers and sisters find their father or not, they are all benefactors of our family, remember?" ”

The two little guys nodded in unison and said in unison, "Remember." ”

......

Back at the inn, the pink flowers on the heads of Xiao Yunjiao and Shen Yuzhou were bright and hooked everyone's eyes. Even if you don't know the legend of the Flower God Festival, you can vaguely feel that there is an inexplicable atmosphere surrounding you.

Primrose took the bouquet that Shen Yuzhou had been holding, and then found a bottle and inserted it, and then listened to Xiao Yunjiao's instructions, "You all go out, I have something to say to the shopkeeper Shen." ”

Primrose closed the door outside, and couldn't help but have a terrible thought-

Won't Marquis Shen also become a princess...... Let's do it!
