The woman in red came to a conclusion: the owner of the house was probably a small trader, and he had to travel far every few months, so he was taken advantage of by this little slippery head.

When she came back from the rounds, she found that the little beggar had already lit a fire in the back kitchen and boiled water in a pot.

He was too short, and he had to take a bench to get enough of the stove.

During this time, he went to the backyard to dig up some taro—there were no plants growing on these tubers, so she knew that they were not planted in the field in the first place, but could only be brought by the little beggar.

The woman in red stroked her chin, it seemed that he had figured out the rules of the owner of the house, and knew when he could "borrow" someone's house.

When digging the fourth taro, a black shadow suddenly popped out of the field and ran towards the corner of the wall like lightning.

It was fast, and the little beggar was faster, and with two fingers, he grabbed it by the tail and lifted it upside down.

The thing struggled and squeaked.

"Mouse!" The woman in red couldn't help but take a step back, her face full of disgust, and she saw the little beggar looking at the mouse carefully, and her eyes were no different from looking at Mao Taro.

"You are not allowed to eat it!" is disgusting, especially since this rat is big and fat!

The little beggar took a few looks, then went to the kitchen to find a small bamboo cage and put the mouse in it. What's wrong with this thing stealing and eating his taro, and he has the right to eat it? But he knows that the young ladies in the city are also afraid of snakes, ants, insects, and pigs, especially rats, and they will stomp their toes and scream whenever they see them.

Although he didn't understand why, it was obvious that rats were more afraid of them.

While thinking, he moved without diminishing, and quickly washed the mud of the little taro that he dug out. Just as the water was boiling, he went up to the drawer to steam.

The woman in red kept an eye on him, lest he would actually clean up the mouse. After all, this kid doesn't look like he has been exposed to meat for a long time.

Seeing that she looked like a great enemy, he reached out and lifted the bamboo cage.

"Don't eat it!" she was shocked, as if she wanted to break the cage, but she took two steps forward and paused, "The owner of the bell, don't eat this kind of thing!"

Otherwise she would have been nauseous for the rest of her life.

What kind of fantasy is it that the owner of the dignified bell should eat mice? If someone had told her that before, she would have laughed through her belly. But now, she can't laugh!

He shook the cage at her, pointing to his throat.

"Do what?"

The little beggar pointed at her, then at his throat, "ah" twice, and finally shook the cage again.

The woman in red understood, her pretty face changed slightly, and then she changed to a blank face.

He's threatening her that if he doesn't heal his vocal cords, he'll eat the mouse?

This little beggar dared to threaten her!

"What do you mean?" she blinked deliberately, "I can't understand just such a gesture." ”

Stinky boy, think beautifully. She bullied him and couldn't speak, what?

The little beggar groaned, opened the lid with his backhand, and was about to throw the squeaking mouse into the boiling water.

"Stop!" she screamed and pounced, subconsciously trying to slap the bamboo cage off his hand. However, before the fingertips could touch, they were forcibly blocked by an inexplicable force.

That's the power of the contract.

Now that the bell has confessed to the Lord, she cannot fight against the owner of the bell if her own safety is not threatened!

The little beggar brought the bamboo cage closer to the stove.

The woman in red's chest rose and fell, and it took all her strength to suppress her anger for the time being: "Okay, I'll help you heal, as long as you throw this thing away!"

That's what I want. When the little beggar achieved his goal, he immediately put the bamboo cage aside, and in front of her, he brought water to wash his hands repeatedly and rubbed the soap horns twice.

That means he won't touch the rat again.

The woman in red was a little angry, but the anger in her heart did not fade much. She used to dominate the world, causing many living beings to talk about the color, but now she is controlled by others, and she is actually manipulated by the lowest little beggar in the world.

Thinking of her anger, she slapped her palm on the board.

The table under this board is made of red bricks, which is very strong, and when she slapped it like this, there was no earth-shattering sound.

The little beggar looked at the board for a long time, thinking that it would clatter and shatter into several pieces like those who are skilled in kung fu.

However, it didn't. In fact, her palm went down like a slap on cotton, and there was no sound echoing.

Well, he expected the mistake. The little beggar shrugged his shoulders, this woman's appearance was so weird, he thought she was very powerful.

He went looking for something again.

Only when he turned out half a bag of cane sugar, he accidentally touched the board with his elbow, only to hear a low "bang", and the red brick platform collapsed.

It collapsed completely, and it was all shattered into powder, and I couldn't find half a good brick.

It was as if the table had been made of fine sand, and the woman in red had only beaten them back to their original shape.

The little beggar opened his mouth, and he couldn't close it all at once. Well, so powerful! Even more powerful than the master of the Hu Rich Man's house, that person can only break three bricks at once.

The woman in red said quietly: "If you provoke me again, I will turn you into powder!"

The little beggar shrank back, as if at last there was a look of fear in her eyes, which made her feel a little satisfied.

At this time, the taro is steamed.

The little beggar took out the food, sprinkled the cane sugar in a stoneware dish, and then peeled half the skin of the taro, revealing a fat white and short, egg-like figure, and dipped it in the sugar.

Sugar is much more expensive than ordinary condiments, and it is not a must-have ingredient in ordinary homes. Fortunately, the owner usually sells cane sugar in the goods, and there is no shortage of it in his kitchen.

He didn't eat it right away, but handed her the taro.

The woman in red raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "For me?"

The little beggar nodded, and leaned the taro in front of her.

The peculiar aroma of the food wafted closer, reminding her that she hadn't eaten in many, many years. Seeing that the expression on his face was very sincere, the woman in red was uncertain for a while, and finally reached out to take it.

After all, her arms can't twist her thighs, although his "thighs" look thinner and shorter.

Take a bite of food and squeak. The unique glutinous glutinous taro is mixed with the sweetness of sucrose, and although it is a little monotonous, it immediately gives you a feeling of fullness when you eat it.

Although it is not meaty, such a steaming food can also coax the stomach and intestines very well.

The little beggar was also munching on taro, eating so well that it seemed like his last meal on earth, and he didn't even have time to be distracted to see her.

The two of them ate the same food, and the eyes of the woman in red lingered on him, thoughtful.

This little guy wants to blackmail her into curing her illness, and he knows that she is not angry, so he will ask for something to please her when he turns around? How old is he to have such scheming?

If that's the case, then it's interesting.

This meal was eaten with each heart. The woman in red was so delicate that she only ate one, and the rest of the taro was wrapped up by the little beggar. He was thin and small, but his stomach capacity was amazing.

As he ate, he reached out to scratch his neck. The woman in red noticed that a small red rash had appeared on his neck at some point.

Just so fast? She hadn't been there when she checked his vocal cords in the dark alley.

When he had eaten his fill, he went to the vegetable field to dig out two taro with soil, and carried the bamboo cage containing the rats by the way. The woman in red said strangely: "You don't spend the night here?"

The rice was eaten here, using other people's firewood, water and cane sugar, she didn't believe that this kid couldn't pull his face down to sleep. There was a bleak wind and rain outside, and it was not peaceful, and he finally found a place to live.

The little beggar shook his head, climbed out of the wall, and quietly escaped.

After a short time, a group of soldiers walked into the alley and knocked on doors from house to house.

Everyone was alarmed, and they came out to open the door with sleepy eyes: "Master Bing, what happened?"

"There is a murder in the city, and the suspect is on the run!"

Everyone was taken aback.

At this time, the owner of the house who lived next door to the vendor took the initiative to say: "Oh, Da Liu went out to do business ten days ago, but I seem to hear some noise from his house tonight, and there is white smoke floating in the backyard." ”

Several soldiers looked at each other, and immediately turned around and went to the door of the merchant's house:

"Search!"

￥￥￥￥￥

The woman in red stood on the nearby archway, condescending, taking in the commotion in the alley. She sighed, and then floated down to the little beggar.

They had gone in time to avoid the war, otherwise the little beggar would have had to beg her for help if he could not finish his meal.

Did he insist on not spending the night at the vendor's house because he had foreseen such danger?

The little beggar's shabby clothes were soaked by the rain again. He was thin and embarrassed, with a mess of hair on his head, and he was the most inconspicuous of all wherever he put it.

No one cares about him.

But the woman in red finally felt that it was a little interesting.

She wasn't in a hurry anymore, and slowly spoke: "Now, where do you want to spend the night?" Yicheng is too small, and there are not many places for homeless children to spend the night. No matter how strong this little ghost is, it will be enough to rain overnight.

The little beggar didn't react, but he didn't hesitate every time he turned a corner, obviously he had already calculated it in his heart.

At this moment, a shout was heard not far away.

"Hey, stop!"

A guard at the entrance of the alley saw him and turned and walked over.

The little beggar obediently stopped.

It's almost downtown here, and the terrain is not as complex as the area just now. The other has short calves, and he can't outrun a strong adult here.

The woman in red sighed: "I listen to others very much." ”

The little beggar ignored it. Mixed in the market, when he can escape, when he has to be obedient, he knows it.

The guard strode over, saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Little guy, is that you?"

The little beggar nodded and grinned at him.

His face is not clean, but the two rows of small teeth are very white, and this smile looks very bright, very sunny, and even has two points...... Flattering.

The woman in red couldn't help but be stunned: I can't see that this kid can still please people, is it possible that Fang is pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of her?

However, the guard obviously recognized him, and his face softened a little: "Is there a suspicious person nearby?

He walked straight over, and his eyes were only on the little beggar, as if he was blind to the woman in red, who was ten times more conspicuous than the child.

The little beggar looked at him, and then at the woman in red, his face puzzled. If there is chaos in the city, the first person to be interrogated must be someone like him. But when it comes to suspicious characters, isn't this woman in front of you?

She crossed her arms and hummed softly: "As long as I want, ordinary people can't see me." ”

I see. The little beggar understood, and heard that some people could see ghosts, but some could not. But she also ate taro just now, can ghosts eat?

The guard asked, "What are you looking at?"

He shook his head at the guards.

Showing that innocent expression again, it looks natural and unpretentious, and the credibility is very high. The woman in red snorted twice, and this kid pretended to be.

The guard knew that he was mute and young, and that the case should have nothing to do with him, so he just asked casually at this time, so he waved his hand: "Go, go, go, don't make trouble these days, otherwise you won't be able to finish eating and walking!"

The little beggar was about to turn around and slip away, but he saw a black shadow flickering at the base of the wall not far away.

Someone is hiding there!

The guard saw it too, and said to him, "Hurry up!" and strode after him.

It was a short street, dark in the night, and in the darkness it was like a monster that could devour people. The little beggar glanced in that direction a few times, and the woman in red saw a little worry in his eyes.

It seems that this kid not only knows the guard, but also has some contact with him.

"You should be worried about him. ”

After a while, she said slowly, "Go two more corners, and there are three men in black in ambush in front of you." This soldier's martial arts are ordinary, and he will not be their opponent. ”

The little beggar was stunned.

The woman, though eccentric, had never told a lie so far. Besides, she has no reason to lie to him, doesn't she?

The woman in red stood on the high wall and made a gesture of looking in that direction: "Those people are very murderous and will not leave a mouth." Your friend won't live long, what should I do?"

She squinted at her with a pair of wonderful eyes, full of smiles: "If you ask me now, I will keep him safe." As long as you nod your head twice, I will assume that you agree to my terms. ”

The so-called one force will drop ten. No matter how treacherous this little ghost is, when he encounters a man in black whose force value is much higher than his, he can only barely escape, let alone save people under the hands of others.

She couldn't think of a second way for this little guy to go other than to beg her honestly.

Stop struggling, come on, obediently ask her for help!

She's in a good mood.

The little beggar's eyes flashed.

Begging her was nothing more than asking him to agree to send the wooden bell to the City Lord's Mansion, right?

If he didn't ask her, what else could he do to save people? Now it's too late to rush in and drag the leader of the soldiers back, and eighty percent will give himself to those men in black as a dish.

What the other party wants to grab the most is in his hands!

Time was pressing, and his eyes kept rolling, and suddenly he looked at a shop opposite.

The façade of this shop is very new, it has only been painted not long ago, the signboard is also painted with gold, the boss "Xiang Gui Tang" three words are very magnificent, even the wall is much higher than other stores.
