Chapter 19: The Last Sugar Gourd
Two days later.
The sky is sunny and the wind is light.
On this day, the ship docked, and the captain instructed Chang Gung to take Lin Yue off the ship.
The girl was taken down by the "big brother" in a daze.
"Why did we get off the boat, and where are we going?"
Lin Yue was like a child who had just understood something, looking around behind Chang Geng, and kept asking. It's been a long time since I've been to shore, and now it's a novelty to get off the boat.
Chang Geng didn't reply to her, he didn't know how to answer her, and replied "I threw you away"...... Is it?
"Are we there? Where we are going? It's the city lord!"
"We didn't ...... Yes," Chang Gung turned around, a reluctant smile on his face, "We're here." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to the bazaar. ”
"What are you going to do at the fair?"
"I'm going to give it to you...... Buy something. ”
Chang Gung went to a store and picked out a veil for her. "Put it on. ”
"Is it because Ah Yue is terrible?"
“...... Put it on so that those people don't always look at you. ”
"Ah Yue understands. This is to keep her ugly appearance from scaring others, "Okay." The girl put it on.
She had a thin forehead hair in front of her forehead, and a purple veil, so that only one pair of eyes, one very gentle, were revealed.
Chang Geng suddenly didn't dare to look into her eyes, and he staggered his gaze. This look ...... It's as if this kid understands everything, no, no, this is a stupid doll, how can he understand, how can he understand? She must not know what he's going to do next...... What to do.
Some people on the boat said that they had been very kind to this little girl, and that they would definitely not be able to keep her anyway, and since their life was saved by them, what if they lost it now.
Chang Geng was in a trance, and the sound of shouting "Selling sugar gourds ——!" came from his ears.
He looked down and found Lin Yue looking curiously at the vendor selling sugar gourds.
Chang Gung stopped the vendor, he was shy in his pocket, bought a sugar gourd, and the vendor pulled one from the sugar gourd rack and handed it to him. "Walk slowly—"
This sugar gourd is red, round and not deflated, at first glance it is made of good hawthorn, and the outside is wrapped in a layer of sugar, which is crystal clear and attractive.
"Big brother, don't you eat it?"
Chang Geng shook his head. "You eat. ”
Lin Yue then took a bite lightly, immediately covered her mouth, and frowned, "...... It's so sour. ”
Chang Geng was originally in a heavy mood, but now he suddenly panicked, "No, isn't it sweet?"
The girl chewed it a few more times, "...... It's good now. ”
This is sour just now, it should be because she hasn't eaten sour for a long time, so she can't adapt to eating a little sour.
"That's good, that's good. ”
Sugar gourds are so sweet, sticky, and delicious.
Chang Geng watched the girl gnaw on the sugar gourd seriously.
"Ah Yue, you ...... Wait for me here, I have something to leave, and I'll come back when I go.
Remember, wait here and don't wander around into less crowded places. ”
"Hmm, what's the matter? Can't Ah Yue come with you?"
"You ......" Chang Gung couldn't answer.
But the little girl didn't ask him any more, just nodded obediently.
"Okay," she said.
"I'll be waiting for you here. ”
"Big brother, go early and come back early. Ah Yue will be very well-behaved and not walk around. ”
The girl watched Chang Geng's back in the crowd getting farther and farther away.
She lowered her head and bit a sugar gourd again.
Hope the big brother will come back before dark,
She's afraid of the dark.
