Chapter Fifty-Eight: Troublesome Imp
At this moment, a little beggar came to the alley, looking around as he went, as if looking for something.
The corner of the little girl's mouth raised, and she raised her hand and threw down the white sugar cake in her hand, which smashed right on the top of the little beggar's head, and then bounced up again and fell to the ground.
The little beggar was taken aback, and scurried to the side with his hands neatly, then covered his head and looked at the ground. found that what attacked him was just a dusty white sugar cake, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
At this moment, a string of silver bell-like laughter came from overhead, and a childish voice laughed: "Here, little ghost!"
The little beggar looked up, and saw that on the osmanthus tree, there was a little girl about the same age as him, who was winking at him. He rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and said, "You're the little ghost!"
"Huh!" the little girl stood up with her hand on the branch. He walked back and forth on the branch with his hands behind his back, and said triumphantly: "But I am taller than you!"
The little beggar looked at her bright smiling face, was stunned, and finally held back a sentence: "I will grow taller too!"
The little girl couldn't help but giggle when she saw his face flushed, and her petite body leaned back and forth with her laughter.
The little beggar glanced at her and walked forward. The top priority is to find the previous sister as soon as possible, but it will be too late if it is too late.
"Hey, that little ghost!" the little girl saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly called out, "Don't go, play with me for a while!"
As if he had not heard, the little beggar walked on his own, going faster and faster, and at last he simply ran.
The little girl was really anxious now, and she was about to chase after her, but who knew that her feet slipped and the whole person fell from the tree.
The little beggar had already turned a corner, and he didn't see her fall at all. However, even if he saw it, he would not have time to save him from such a distance.
The little girl was so frightened that her little face turned pale, her little light work, she could only jump between the branches, such a tall osmanthus tree, she could not easily land. In a panic, she actually grabbed a branch. Who knows, before I have time to rejoice, I heard a crisp 'click' sound, and the branch broke.
A woman with the soles of her shoes in the yard may have bowed her head for a long time, and her neck was a little sore. Inadvertently, when I looked up, I happened to see the scene of the little girl falling, and screamed in fright: "Oh no! A child has fallen from the Dongjia tree!"
Her voice was so penetrating that the people around her heard her cry and ran out of their yards.
"His aunt, whose child fell?"
"I don't see it clearly! I look like I'm about seven or eight years old. ”
"What? it won't be our family music!"
"Ouch, it's not good, the second uncle's precious grandson, isn't it seven or eight years old. Last time, I climbed our loquat tree, but fortunately I saw it. ”
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and save people!"
A group of women who were doing housework did not have time to put down their work, and ran in the direction of the osmanthus tree. Some of the families who lived a little farther away heard the commotion, and opened the courtyard gates, and watched strangely as a group of women with spatulas, shoe soles, sickles, and other tools were running in one direction.
Someone who knew couldn't help but shout: "His aunt, what are you doing here?"
"A kid has fallen from a tree!" replied a woman in the procession.
"What?"
Before the questioner could react, the woman who had a child at home and the child was not at home joined the running procession.
And at this time, the little girl who should have been broken into a meatloaf is lying in a person's arms safe and sound.
She stared at the mask on the other party's face with wide eyes, and asked curiously, "Where did you buy this?" Before she could finish speaking, her tender little hand reached out.
The man threw his head back, avoiding the small outstretched hand. At the same time, he jumped down from the wall, put the little girl on the ground, and turned to go.
The little girl was quick and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
The man's sword eyebrows behind the mask furrowed, and he regretted saving this troublesome imp a little. Although he was leaving, this little girl would never be able to stay, but he still stopped.
Not for anything else, just because those clear and bright eyes are very similar to the pair in his memory, very similar.
When the little girl saw him stop, she hurriedly ran in front of him, stared at him and said with a smile, "Uncle, I haven't thanked you for saving my life." But I'm too young to do anything else. Why don't I help you carry your things in return?"
The man glanced at her faintly, and saw that although she looked sincere, it was a pity that those dripping eyes betrayed her. This kind of look is too familiar to him, and at a glance, he knows what the hell the other party is thinking about in his heart.
He didn't have the heart to play with a small child, so he moved the thing in his hand directly to one hand, and then reached out and grabbed the little girl's hand.
In the expectant gaze of the little girl, she threw her hand away. With a lift of footsteps, he walked past her without saying a word, and continued to walk forward.
"That's it!
At this moment, there was a commotion. Immediately after that, a group of women appeared around the corner.
The masked man didn't look back, still striding forward.
The little girl who was standing in place and was a little stunned, when she saw the army of women swarming in, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly rushed up, hugged one of the legs of the masked man, and shouted: "Dad, don't go! Xiaoling won't dare in the future! Dad!"
Not only the masked man was stunned, but even the group of women who had just run under the big tree were stunned.
I heard the little girl then shout: "Xiaoling will definitely get up earlier in the future, pick up water and make breakfast before going to sing." Xiaoling promised that she would only drink one bowl of porridge per meal in the future, and leave all the steamed buns for her stepmother and little brother to eat. Dad, you can't do without me!"
The little girl opened her mouth and howled a few times, probably feeling that the effect was not enough. Secretly reached out and pinched himself. This time it was extremely hard, and she gasped in pain, and tears poured out in an instant.
She was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was extremely beautiful. At this moment, in the big eyes that were as bright as the stars, big tears rolled down like pearls, which made her even more pitiful.
Some soft-hearted women could not help but begin to wipe their tears. However, in the face of the man's cold gaze, he didn't scold out loud.
The little girl peeked at the man's hand that was instantly clenched into a fist, and she was secretly proud in her heart. pinched himself hard again, with rolling teardrops, and continued to cry: "Xiaoling will never run away from home in the future, and will never jump off a tree to commit suicide again." The stepmother is also for my good, and she wants to teach me well, so she started beating me, dad, don't blame her. The scars on Xiaoling's body will be healed in a few days. When the time comes, I must go and make more money, buy white sugar cakes for my little brother to eat, buy new clothes for my stepmother, and buy wine for my father. Dad, you just let Xiaoling go home!" she just saw a wine jar in the man's hand, and decided to increase the drama on the spot.
"This kid is so sensible that it hurts!"
"yes, that's pathetic!"
"This tree is so high, she dares to jump, what a sin. ”
"Hey, a motherless child is pitiful!"
"Look, it's not your men's iniquity. Look at the old lady slapping you to death with a spatula!"
......
A few men who passed by with burdens were innocently scolded, shrank their heads, and left for unknown reasons.
The little girl snickered in her heart, she found that she liked this kind of game, no wonder Sister Qinyun refused to leave, it turned out that it was so fun to deceive people. Her mind began to rac, figuring out what more to add.
