"I don't know how to be polite, and I'm a dumb person!" the old woman sighed, "Look at other children, their little mouths are sweet, this is like a stuffy melon......"

Before she could finish speaking, something suddenly fell from the wall, and it hit her with a "bang".

As soon as there was a flower in front of her, the old woman was so frightened that she leaned back, but fortunately, Liu Quan quickly supported her.

The two looked at each other, and the one who jumped down turned out to be a white cat, which was oily and slippery, and there was no trace of variegated color on its body. It also kicked the old woman as it jumped.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, this kick kicked on her heart, and then he trotted all the way with his head held high, and disappeared behind the house as if no one was around.

Only then did the two react.

The cat is not big, the strength is not small, the old woman was kicked to the chest straight blockage, it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help scolding: "Scare me, where did the dead cat come from!"

Liu Quan felt that this cat looked familiar—wasn't it the one he gave to the little beggar before?

It's a good way to be evil.

It was just the right afternoon day, and the boy walked north along the main street.

He had changed into a green cloth robe today, and he still carried a bamboo basket on his back. He borrowed the basket from Liu Quan's kitchen. There are many children in Yicheng who go out in this costume to help their parents or owners with shopping items, so he is inconspicuous in the crowd.

Further north is the main city, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, some of them are in a hurry, and they rush to the north gate.

"I heard that the gate of the north side is open, so hurry up, maybe you can get out. ”

"My batch of goods has been pressed in Yicheng for two days, and if it is delayed, it will be broken!"

The north gate opened, and the boy turned on tiptoe and headed for the north gate. Compared to collecting wishing power, the top priority is to escape from Yicheng as soon as possible.

He was very close to the north gate, and it was only a stick of incense to rush over. However, when we finally arrived, the direction of the city gate was crowded, and there was a faint noise ahead, like a conflict.

The people around him were all watching and whispering.

What's going on?

After a short time, Chitose's voice reached his ears: "The city gate is opened, but it is not allowed to pass through the people." A few men were in a hurry to get out of the city and clashed with the city defenders. ”

Why? The boy knew that her ears were amazing, and it was only a piece of cake to hear movement dozens of feet away.

"The gates of the city are opened because ......" Chitose was still sorting out the messages he had heard, "and when a big man arrived, the leading people of the city would line up to greet him as a sign of solemnity." ”

As he spoke, there was the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, as if a man had entered the city. Immediately after that, the wall in front of the boy receded like a wave crashing ashore!

If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would probably have been trampled under his feet by now.

The defenders of the city quickly carved a way through the crowd and escorted more than a hundred cavalry through. The boy stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, and saw the man in front of him riding a big white horse, enjoying the hugs and hugs, and went to the office.

The residents of Yicheng on the side were all talking, but they didn't bother to get angry for a while:

"Isn't it Lord Yin who is accompanying you?"

"There are also Liu Daguan, and Master Xu!"

Mr. Xu is the leading wealthy family in the local area, and the grain shops in Yicheng are basically opened by his family.

"It seems that the officials sent from above are amazing, otherwise how can they work to greet them?"

The boy also saw the sign Yin mentioned by everyone, and he was indeed with the new big man, but his face was ugly.

Soon, the gates were closed again. The city defenders reaffirmed that the city was still under martial law, and then evacuated the crowd.

Unable to do so, the boy took one last look in the direction of the city gate, then turned and turned back, but continued to do what he had planned. But at this moment, Chitose suddenly said "Huh", as if he was in high spirits.

"I've found something good, maybe there will be an extra income this time, not bad!"

......

A few hours later.

As soon as the boy stepped into Banyan Street, something soft and warm pressed against his back. He turned his head just in time to see a shaggy white paw on his shoulder. At the same time, Chitose's voice sounded in his ears: "Stop, look to your right." ”

The boy turned his head to the right and saw a house.

"Right here. "It sounded like she was satisfied," I sensed. Nice, nice stuff. ”

The boy looked at it twice, did not dare to linger longer, and continued to walk.

He can't get into this place. What now?

The thing behind him retracted into the basket, and he could still hear Chitose's instructions: "Find an inn to stay in this neighborhood, and get as close to the target as possible." ”

This is one of the busiest areas in Yicheng, and accommodation is not cheap.

The boy looked down at his clothes, which were ordinary, like a child of a commoner's family.

He was satisfied, so he turned a corner, took a fork in the road, and went straight to the innermost inn. It wasn't the first row on the street, but the backyard was less than three feet away from the house that the boy was focusing on.

He walked into the lobby, sat down, and quietly touched the boxy beech table. This set of tables and chairs is a few years old, the surface has lost a little paint, and there are still two rice grains stuck to the corner of the table.

In fact, he has eaten this meal, and it tastes good, but it has never been a table that is sitting on this kind of table.

There were not many guests, and the guy who ran the hall came over in time: "Little brother, are you alone?"

The boy nodded. He will no longer be in tatters, and he will not be thrown out.

The eight-year-old child went to the restaurant by himself, and there was no more to say about it, and a lot less to say, but the guy looked at him and couldn't help but ask: "What about your adult?"

The boy silently opened his mouth and pointed to his throat again. This problem sometimes saves him a lot of trouble, at least people don't get to the bottom of it - they can't ask anything anyway.

Dude understood, this kid is mute. Is there a family in the city whose child is mute, and why doesn't he remember?

The boy grabbed a piece of broken silver in his hand, shook it in front of him, and successfully brought him back to his senses: "Oh, what do you want to eat, little brother?"

He pointed to the wooden sign on the wall and said, "Our casserole hangers, vegetarian fried three silk and five-spice smoked fish are all signboards......

Before he could finish his sentence, the boy nodded.

With a pot of rice, this lunch is the perfect solution.

A boy munching on the desk, this scene is inevitably eye-catching. The shopkeeper stood behind the table and smoked a dry cigarette, and said, "Whose child is this, isn't it lost with your family?"

The boy picked up the last piece of pork heart in the casserole and ate it, then wiped his mouth and walked over and put the broken silver on the counter.

The shopkeeper gave him change, but the boy didn't accept it, but pointed to the wooden lattice behind the shopkeeper.
