The capital is divided into four cities, the East City, the West City, the South City, and the North City. The East City is mainly an imperial city. Nanshi is the area where dignitaries live. The West Market is a business district, and most of the merchants live here. North City is a slum area, and people living here are poor or lowly people.

The West Market is a business district, which is very prosperous and lively. There are many shops, restaurants and guest houses here. The streets are also lined with stalls. The clamor here rang from morning to night.

Zhao Yao sat on Liang Run's shoulder, looking around curiously with a pair of eyes. He found that after not coming for a while, there were many new shops and stalls here.

Liang Run saw the stall in front of him buying candy paintings, carried Zhao Yao and walked over, and asked the boss to draw a tiger. There was a seller of red dates and yam cakes in front, and Liang Run bought some more for Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao sat on Liang Run's shoulder, eating sweet and silky sugar paintings while eating delicious red dates and yam cakes.

Not far from the front, there are people performing arts, spitting fire in their mouths, breaking boulders in their chests, throwing large porcelain jars, etc.

Many people watched, and when they saw the highlights, everyone would applaud and praise. At this time, someone walked up to everyone with cymbals, and everyone would give a few bounties.

Liang Run also gave two copper plates, and then carried Zhao Yao forward. There was another person in front of him, an old man directing a big monkey and a small monkey to do all kinds of interesting and fun actions, which made the onlookers laugh.

These two monkeys have golden fur all over their bodies, handsome faces, and very smart expressions, which are very pleasing to onlookers.

The big monkey was still performing boxing, and the little monkey walked up to the onlookers with a big bowl and said something in his mouth.

Although the onlookers couldn't understand what the little monkey was saying, they could probably guess what it meant, so they rewarded a few copper plates and put them in the bowl.

The little monkey is very human, and when someone gives money, it bows and thanks.

The onlookers saw that the little monkey was so polite and liked it more and more. People who originally only rewarded one copper plate will be tempted to reward one or two copper plates.

After a while, the little monkey walked in front of Zhao Yao. Not long ago, Zhao Yao asked Liang Run to put him down.

The little monkey was a little afraid of following Zhao Yao's side. Seeing its fear, Zhao Yao asked Laiman to hide behind him.

"It's good to come to Man, it won't bite you." Zhao Yao said, putting the five copper plates in his hand into the broken bowl in the little monkey's hand. "What's your name?" Then he asked, "You are so beautiful, are you a boy or a girl?" It was the first time he had seen a monkey covered in golden retrievers.

The little monkey felt a kind feeling in Zhao Yao's body, which made him bold enough to step forward and make progress. It opened its mouth and said to Zhao Yao: [My name is Xiaoniu, and I am a girl. 】

Zhao Yao squatted down and stretched out his hand to the little monkey: "Little girl, my name is Yao Yao, can we be friends?" ”

The little girl looked at Zhao Yao with wide eyes, [Can you understand me? 】

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Yes, can we be friends?" ”

The first time the chick saw someone who could understand it, her face was full of incredulity. It followed Zhao Yao's movements and stretched out its right hand.

Zhao Yao reached out and held the chick's right hand and shook it gently: "Then we are friends." ”

Lai Man poked his head out from behind Zhao Yao and whispered to the chick twice; [My name is Man, and I am Yaoyao's friend. You're Yaoyao's friend now, and that's my friend. 】

The little monkey was a little frightened and shrunk his neck. It looked at Zhao Yao pleadingly.

Zhao Yao reached out and touched the little monkey's head, and said with a smile: "It's full of my good friends, it's very good, it will definitely not bite you, don't be afraid." ”

Lai Manchu said: [You are my friend with Yaoyao, I won't bite you. 】

The little monkey nodded, then turned his head to look at Xiang Laiman: [If you don't bite me, then I won't be afraid of you. 】

Laiman wagged his tail happily: [Little girl, you are so good-looking. 】

was praised for her good-looking chick, and a happy smile appeared on her delicate little face.

"Chick, is it your mother?" Zhao Yao pointed to the big monkey that was dancing and asked the little monkey.

The little monkey nodded and said, "Well, it's my mother. 】

"What's your mother's name?"

[Big girl. 】

In the eyes of others, a good-looking child is talking to a good-looking little monkey. The little monkey babbled, and the little boy seemed to understand what it was saying, and spoke to it very seriously. This scene is funny, cute and warm, and everyone present can't help but show a light smile on their faces.

"Little boy, can you understand what the little monkey is saying?" An aunt standing next to Zhao Yao asked.

"Yes, it says it's called a chick, and it says its mother is called a big girl."

The aunt pretended to be surprised: "The little boy is really amazing." Of course, the aunt didn't really think that Zhao Yao could understand what the little monkey was saying. She thought that Zhao Yao heard the old man call the names of the two monkeys.

"Your kid is so handsome." The aunt said this to Liang Run.

It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, Zhao Yao is still a little similar to Liang Run, and the aunt thinks that Zhao Yao is Liang Run's son.

The nephew was praised for his good looks, Liang Run was very happy, and said with a smile: "He looks like his mother." "Yao Yao looks very similar to her sister, especially the eyes, which are exactly the same.

"Auntie, you're also good-looking." Etiquette is still exchanged, people praise him for his good looks, of course he has to praise others for being beautiful.

The aunt suddenly smiled: "The little boy's mouth is so sweet." After speaking, she took out an apple from the basket she was carrying, "Little boy, give it to you, it's very sweet." ”

Zhao Yao was not polite, stretched out his hands to take it, and then gave his aunt a bright smile: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

The aunt didn't hold back, reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head, "You're welcome." ”

"Auntie, can I give the apple you gave me to the chick?"

"Absolutely."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Yao turned around and put the red apple in his hand into the bowl in the girl's hand, "Little girl, give it to you." ”

The chick likes to eat apples very much, and immediately thanked Zhao Yao: [Thank you, Yaoyao. After saying that, he took the apple back to the old man and gave it to the old man.

The old man thanked Zhao Yao and put the apple in the bamboo building beside him.

The chick continues to hold the bowl and beg the onlookers for money.

Liang Run saw that Zhao Yao had been staring at the little monkey, so he picked him up and asked, "Yaoyao, like these two monkeys?" ”

"Well, they're beautiful and very smart." Monkeys are smarter than other animals, and the most important thing is that monkeys can do a lot of things like humans, which other animals can't do.

"If you like it, we'll buy them."

"Second uncle, that old man shouldn't sell the chicks." Zhao Yao could tell that the old man liked his two monkeys and treated them as his own children. The most important thing is that the two monkeys can make him money and let him live in this world. "But, second uncle, we can ask the old man to take the chicks and do things for us."

"Doing things?" Liang Run asked, "What do you do?" ”

"Second uncle, there are so many things they can do." Zhao Yao smiled meaningfully, "Second uncle, when their performance is over, let's come to them again." ”

"Okay." Liang Run couldn't see anything special about an old man and two monkeys.

Zhao Yao followed Liang Run to the teahouse not far in front. They sat by the window on the second floor, just in time to see the old man and the two monkeys performing.

About half an hour later, the old man and the two monkeys finished their performance. Seeing this, Liang Run hurriedly walked out of the teahouse and walked in front of the old man. He said something to the old man, and then the old man followed him into the teahouse with two monkeys.

The little girl was very happy to see Zhao Yao, and ran towards him in a hurry.

Zhao Yao hugged it, it hugged Zhao Yao's neck with both hands, and rubbed Zhao Yao's face. Zhao Yao rubbed its face back.

The old man took the big girl and greeted Zhao Yao politely.

Zhao Yao invited the old man to sit down.

Liang Run poured a cup of tea for the old man.

The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has long practiced the ability of "sharp eyes". He could see at a glance that Zhao Yao's status was noble, and he also saw that Liang Run respected Zhao Yao.

"Grandpa, how old are the big chicks and little chicks, and have they been following you all the time?"

"Back to the little boy, the eldest girl is three years old this year, and the little girl has just turned two years old this year." The old man said in a respectful tone, "More than a year ago, I occasionally saved the big girl and the little girl who fell into the trap......"

The big chick and the little chick fall into a trap set by humans and are seriously injured. The old man took the two of them home for treatment. Under the dedicated care of the old man, the big girl and the little girl gradually recovered.

After the injury was healed, the eldest girl did not return to the forest with the little girl, but chose to stay with the old man and live with the old man.

The old man had no children and no daughters, and he was alone, and he was naturally happy to see that the two monkeys were willing to stay with him. So, I adopted them.

Big chicks and chicks are very smart and can understand people. So, the old man trained them to make money. Although the money is not very much, it can support the three of them. In this way, the three of them depend on each other for their lives.

"Grandpa, would you like to take the big chick and the little chick to do things for me?" Zhao Yao said, "I pay you every month and provide you with a place to live, so that you don't have to go around performing arts." ”

"Little boy, what do you want us to do for you?"

"Don't worry, grandpa, I won't let you do bad things." Zhao Yao touched the belly of the chick and said to the old man, "Grandpa, you should know that you will not always be safe and sound with the big girl and the little girl, sooner or later the big girl and the little girl will be coveted by others, after all, the big girl and the little girl are too eye-catching, and there will be danger to find the door at that time." ”

This said to the old man's deep worries, he knew very well in his heart that the big girl and the little girl are not only good-looking, but also very intelligent and humane, and the most important thing is that they will make money by performing arts, which will make those who have bad intentions worry. With his ability, he can't protect the big girl and the little girl at all.

"Little boy, we are willing to help you do things." The old man has always wanted to live a stable life and does not want to wander around anymore. Now they are hired and given a place to live, and that is exactly what he wants.
