Chapter 7 The Child Who Can't Count
After choosing someone, Mo Qiuci walked directly towards the child.
Although it was almost dark, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street at this time, and she was not particularly close to where the child was, so along the way, Mo Qiuci almost bumped into someone several times, and when she finally walked to the child's side, she relieved herself and let out a sigh.
Mom! It's already this time, why are there so many people! No one will think I'm abducting and selling children for a while, right?
Mo Qiuci stared at the pedestrians walking by on the road, frowning and thinking in his heart.
She was really worried that she would be beaten up as a human trafficker, but compared to having no money to eat and no money to sleep, so she felt that being beaten up was actually not a very serious matter.
Thinking like this, Mo Qiuci withdrew her gaze from staring at the passers-by, she looked down at the child standing next to her, and after confirming that he was indeed looking at those buns, she directly reached out and poked him on his round face: "Hey, little friend, what are you looking at?"
It's rude for her to poke someone's face like this, but the child is handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and looks very good-looking, especially the fleshy little face, which is very suitable for looking at, and then she couldn't help it, and stretched out her evil "salty pig hand" to the child.
"Buns. Xu is the temptation of the bun is too strong for him, and maybe it is for other reasons, the child doesn't seem to feel that his little face has been poked, and he doesn't mean to raise his head at all, and when he heard Mo Qiuzi's voice, he just replied lightly, and his eyes were still staring at the bun.
Seeing this, Mo Qiuci squatted down beside him, then pulled his sleeve and asked, "Then do you want to eat?"
The child turned his head instantly when he heard this, he looked at Mo Qiuci, his eyes lit up, and he nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes." ”
Ahaha! The fish has taken the bait!
Mo Qiuci felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he smiled at him with an amiable face: "Then you answer a few questions from my sister, and my sister will buy you buns to eat, okay?"
"......" The child did not answer her immediately, but clutched his sleeves, blinked and hesitated.
"Whatever else you want to eat besides buns, my sister can also buy it for you. ”
"Really?" the child's eyes lit up again, and he became happy.
"Really. Mo Qiuci nodded, as long as he could help her, she would be willing to buy him whatever he wanted, but only if it was within her reach.
Hearing her affirmative answer, the kid didn't hesitate any longer, he squinted his eyes and smiled at Mo Qiuci and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Mo Qiuci smiled even more happily, she took the child's hand, got up and pulled him to the side of the road.
When he made sure that no one noticed them, he took out a silver ticket and stretched it out to show him.
"Do you know how much it is?"
The child stared at the silver ticket for a while, then looked up at Mo Qiuci and nodded: "I know." This one is a hundred taels. ”
A hundred taels?
Mo Qiuci frowned, how much is a hundred taels?
She still didn't understand, so she asked again, "Then do you know how much a bun costs?"
The child didn't hesitate: "Ten cents." ”
She asked again, "How many buns can I buy for a hundred taels?"
The child looked at her innocently: "You can buy a lot of them." ”
Mo Qiuci: "??"
Mo Qiuci: "Huh!?"
The child thought she hadn't heard clearly, so she repeated again: "One hundred taels can buy a lot of buns......"
Mo Qiuci: "......"
Oh ho!
She only thought about asking if the child could be safer, but she didn't expect that the child didn't know how to count at all.
Damn it!!
Mo Qiuci raised her head and took a deep breath, and then bit her lip helplessly, she couldn't say the bitterness in her heart, she was extremely aggrieved.
The kid didn't immediately realize that something was wrong with her, he still raised his head and chattered innocently: "Those buns are enough for me to eat for a long time, but my uncle said that I can't always eat buns, so he doesn't like it very much......"
Mo Qiuci wasn't listening to what he said at all, and after the smile on her face dissipated, she stared at the child in front of her indifferently.
It may be that her eyes, which contain a little bit of irritation, are too intense, and the child suddenly notices her indifferent face as she speaks, and realizes that she hasn't spoken for a long time.
The child became a little nervous for a while, he hurriedly stopped the words that filled his whole little belly, raised his little head, looked at Mo Qiuci with a worried face and asked, "Sister, am I not right......?" Will you buy me buns then?"
I'll buy you a hammer!
Mo Qiuci glared at him and did not speak.
The child was only four or five years old, and after being glared at by her fiercely for a while, he wanted to cry.
Mo Qiuci noticed his red puppy eyes, and instantly put away her evil expression, she took a deep breath, and returned to the appearance she had just smiled at the beginning, and her gaze fell softly on the child's face.
Seeing that she was no longer glaring at herself, the child's red eyes slowly dissipated.
"Sister, do you still buy me buns?"
It is said that children have a bad memory and will soon forget the things that make them unhappy, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.
One second he was still reddening his eyes because of Mo Qiuci, and the next second he asked her for buns.
Mo Qiu said in his heart: "You haven't answered my question, I'll buy you a fart bun!
Thinking about it, she pursed her lips.
Although she was very unhappy, after all, she was the one who promised to give him the bun, and even if the child didn't answer her question, the bun still had to be bought.
There was no way, Mo Qiuci could only take the silver ticket, take his hand and lead him to the place where steamed buns were sold.
It was a steamed bun shop, and when the child was standing here alone, the boss happened to go inside to get busy, and he had just come back.
"Girl, do you want to buy steamed buns? I have buns with any kind of stuffing here! Not only are they big, but they are all thin and filling, if you eat one, you will definitely want to eat the second one immediately!" Seeing her stop in front of her stall, the boss immediately smiled and praised her about her buns.
This kind of behavior is very common, almost everyone who sells things will, Mo Qiuci directly ignored what he said, looked down at the child, and asked him, "No, what stuffed buns do you want to eat?"
The child had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and when he heard this, he immediately looked away from the bun cage, looked at her and said, "Meat." ”
As he spoke, his eyes lit up again, and his saliva was about to come out.
Seeing this, Mo Qiuci took a deep breath of grievance, and then said to the boss: "Get me four meat buns." ”
"Okay!" the boss hurriedly opened the cage drawer, took the oil paper on the side, and neatly took out four buns for her.
When he handed over the bun, Mo Qiuci took it and gave it directly to the child.
"Thank you, sister. The child was satisfied with the bun and looked up at her sweetly.
Mo Qiuci sniffled with disdain, then glanced at him, and handed the silver ticket in his hand to the owner of the bun shop.
The moment he saw the silver ticket, the smile on the boss's face disappeared instantly: "Girl, your silver ticket is too big, I can't find it here!"
Mo Qiu was worried about this, she frowned, looked up at the boss, then at the silver ticket, and muttered in a low voice: "Then what should I do!"
Although it was a small voice, it was still enough to be heard by the boss.
"Why don't you go to the money bank and change it?" the boss gave her an idea.
Bank?
Mo Qiuci's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, she could go to the money bank to exchange money! Why didn't she think of it!
This money bank is like a bank now, specializing in converting and keeping money, and every penny is very safe there, people outside may lie to her, but the people in the money bank will never do it!
It's all because she was nervous, and she didn't think about it at all, if she had thought of it directly, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
"Little ghost, do you know where the money village is?" Mo Qiuci looked down at the child who was eating steamed buns and asked him.
She thought he would tell her, but he shook his head.
Shh
Mo Qiuci moved his gaze to the boss again: "Boss, please ask, where is the money village?"
When the boss heard this, he immediately pointed her the way: "You follow this road and go inside, then turn right at the first fork, and you can see it after a few steps." ”
After getting the coordinates of Qian Zhuang, Mo Qiuci thanked him, and then planned to exchange money.
Before going to Qianzhuang, she looked down at the child who was eating meat buns: "You wait for me here, I'll go exchange money, and I'll be back in a while." ”
After finishing speaking, she said to the boss again: "I'll be back in a while, please help me take care of him for a while." ”
After the boss answered, she was about to move forward, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her sleeve was pulled.
Feeling a small force pulling herself, Mo Qiuci knew that it was the little ghost, thinking that he was in trouble, so she stopped for a while and looked behind her.
Who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he couldn't even see the child's face clearly, and the child's voice sounded indistinctly: "What if you don't come back? ”
Mo Qiuci looked at his face that was bulging because of the bun in his mouth, and was a little helpless: "You don't have what I have, I won't not come back, I'm just going to change money." ”
Although she said it very clearly, the child still did not have the slightest intention of letting go, he held the bun in one hand, pulled her sleeve with the other, and shook his head vigorously: "I don't! You can't go, in case you don't come back, I don't have any money!"
Mo Qiuci was originally quite calm, but when he heard his words, and then looked at his unrelenting attitude, his heart gradually became irritable.
