Chapter 70: What a thief

“......”

"What a bad luck!"

"It's bad luck to meet you, and it's lucky to see this rabbit cub..."

"The predecessors are discouraged, and everyone wants to have a colorful picture for the New Year. Don't let this matter ruin the fun. ”

After talking to each other, Xia Xun took out some silver from his arms, gave it to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Do you think this silver is enough?"

The middle-aged man didn't seem to be very interested in Xia Xun, but he didn't embarrass him.

"Listen to you, the predecessors, the predecessors, listen to Lao Tzu refreshingly. That bag of herbs wasn't worth a few bucks, and that was enough. The rest should be given to you by Lao Tzu...""Spit it!"

He casually picked up a few pieces of broken silver from Xia Xun's hand, spit a mouthful of phlegm at the side of the doll on the ground, and pointed viciously and said, "Next time you dare to come to our Rejuvenation Hall to steal something, I will definitely not spare you!"

"Give Lao Tzu some memory!"

The man said nothing, said no more, turned around and left with the flow of people who began to disperse.

Perhaps, as he said, this bag of herbs was not valuable, so the broken silver he took was just a meaning. lest it be rumored by the people in the rivers and lakes in the future that they are afraid of the Seven Stars and so on.

The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and you can not want a small life, but you can't lose face. If Xia Xun can't make a move today, and this doll doesn't hand things over, it will inevitably only be splattered with blood......

A small farce in a small corner of the temple fair on the Yuan Night gradually subsided as the middle-aged man left. People scattered, walked and walked, as if nothing had happened.

"What's your name?"

Peony picked up the fallen doll, pulled a handkerchief from her waist bag, and carefully inserted the blood from her face.

It was only then that a few people could see the doll's face clearly. His thin dark cheeks were slightly sunken, and his eyes were bright and tough, with a hint of impatience. The figure is a head taller than a watermelon, and it should not be more than seven years old, very thin.

To the question of peony, he just blinked his eyes, did not say a word, and still held the package in his arms, as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world.

After Xia Xun saw off the middle-aged man, he walked back. Squatting beside the doll, he gently pulled the watermelon with one hand, pointed at the doll and said softly: "Watermelon, go and be friends with my brother, okay." ”

"Yes!"

Watermelon, nodded obediently. With a shy smile, dragging the little padded jacket, he took a small half step forward, and said in a milky voice towards the little doll in front of him, who was a head taller than him, and said in a milky voice: "Hello brother, my name is Xia Watermelon, Summer of Summer, ...... of Watermelon"

suddenly

"Smack!"

This doll, who has not said a word all along, suddenly has a hard time for some reason!

I saw him grit his teeth fiercely, shook his head violently, shook off the slender hand that Peony was wiping his face for, directly hit the watermelon, and then hit Xia Xun, and ran across his legs.

Don't look at this doll's thin body, this strength is not small, even Xia Xun, who was squatting, was pushed two steps by him, and the watermelon fell to the ground. When Xia Xun took two steps back, slowed down, frowned and turned back, the panicked figure had already jumped into the flow of people...

"Wow~Woowoo"

The watermelon was originally a child, and it was estimated that he fell not lightly when he was knocked down, and he immediately cried aggrieved, and the beans were so big that tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and even made people feel distressed.

"Watermelon doesn't cry, it's okay, it's okay. Pain flew away, flew away......"

Peony didn't have time to pay attention to the doll who suddenly ran away, and hurriedly picked up the watermelon, patted his little buttocks, and comforted him.

"Woo..."

"Watermelon doesn't cry, good..."

Xia Xun turned his head, comforted the watermelon's head distressedly, and was slightly angry: "What is he doing? How did his elders raise him!"

Whining...

Peony took out a handkerchief from her waist bag and wiped away her tears for the watermelon: "Maybe his family is in a hurry to use that medicinal herb." Forget it, this doll is also to blame poor ......"

“......”

Whining...

Dolls crying are the hardest to coax, and even harder for two half-grown teenagers and men who have never raised dolls.

The lively flower street is full of people. The lions and dragons danced and walked through, and the people carried fires to and fro. In the middle of the street, the three of them squatted out of a clearing.

As for the matter of the thief doll just now, the two of them didn't care about it at all. One patted Watermelon's buttocks, and the other stroked Watermelon's head. The good words are all said, and the coaxing is so coaxed that the tongue is spinning. Finally, I stopped the tears of the watermelon.

"My brother is a bad person! watermelon, don't play with my brother..."

The watermelon pursed her hooked mouth aggrievedly and dodged her little feet fiercely.

"Okay, okay, we don't play with my brother. Shall we go and play with watermelon?"

"Not good!"

"Uh..."

The watermelon, which has always been well-behaved, actually lost his temper rarely, making Xia Xun smile and ask, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I want to eat rock sugar gourd..."

“......”

It turned out that the watermelon cried for a long time, thinking of threatening to eat rock sugar gourds. However, it is late at night, and except for the temple fair in the east of the city, which is still booming, the rest of the shops have long been closed. Where is there a rock sugar gourd for him to buy?

Peony was very embarrassed, and pinched the little face of the watermelon: "It's too late, why don't we buy sugar gourds for the watermelon early tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Not good!"

"Shall we go eat marshmallows, then?" Peony pointed to the candy vendor not far away.

"Not good!"

"Where's green fructose?"

"Not good!"

“......”

At this moment, the watermelon showed the child's stubborn temperament to the fullest. Now he only thinks of rock sugar gourds, and he doesn't want anything else.

In the end, Xia Xun still has a way.

"Wow!"

Xia Xun suddenly shouted, pretending to be exaggerated surprise, and pointed to a huge lantern fish in the distance.

"What a big fish, there must be something delicious there!"

Xia Xun turned his head again and smiled provocatively: "Watermelon kid, do you want to go and have a look?"

The watermelon put her little finger into her little mouth and bit it, thinking. The black waterballs were under the eyelids, and they kept spinning.

Looking at Watermelon and Xia Xun like this, Peony couldn't help but feel funny. She took the finger of the watermelon in her mouth, and said teasingly:

"There might be something more delicious in that lanternfish. ”

"Then are you still going?" Xia Xun agreed.

“......”

Watermelon hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and vigorously nodded his head.

"Good!"

"Whew..."

It's not easy, it's really hard.

After squatting in the middle of the street for a moment, my feet were numb when I squatted, and finally coaxed out the watermelon and said a good word. Let Xia Xun and the two of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

got up and trembled and squatted so sore, his feet were numb, and he took a small hand of the watermelon on both sides, and walked in the direction of the lantern fish.

......

"Stay, several!"

As the saying goes, a wave is not over, and a wave is rising.

No, I was just fooled by the thief doll, and my anger hasn't subsided. Now he has to worry about bringing watermelon to find something delicious, lest he hold his mouth again. At this time, a righteous and confident drink stopped them again.

A few people turned around...

I saw that it was a Taoist priest.

Around fifty, more than seven feet tall, fat, with a thick round face dotted with two jujube-sized obscene eyes, and a big-mouthed sheep's beard. The gray-blue Dao robe tightened his belly, and the bronze Dao crown was tied to his head, a little rusty. With a black iron dust in one hand, and a faded flag in the other, he wrote:

"One word for heaven"

What a big breath!

Who is the Heavenly Machine? That refers to the Immortal Heavenly Will, and it also refers to the hidden immortal of Xianju Nanzhen.

And this veteran actually dared to speak out unashamedly, this banner. I really don't know if he's too long-sighted? However, judging from his appearance, no matter how you look at it, it should be the latter...

A charlatan.

Without waiting for the two of them to turn around, the surprise eased a little, and the fat god stick opened his mouth and continued: "The poor road is under the Nan Tai Penglai Sect, a real person. ”

"Today, by chance, I have the fate to see a few such once-in-a-million year geniuses, which is really providential. ”

"But... Wait until you get to the poor road and take a closer look. Eh, it's not good, it's not good..."

The god stick pretended to be unfathomable and stopped. However, no matter how much he pretends to be, he can't stop him from getting a god stick temperament from the inside out.

The god stick seemed to be waiting, and Xia Xun and Peony opened their mouths to ask...

However, except for the moment when they began to see the flag, the two of them kept a flat face. Even Watermelon looked at him with a blank expression.

However, the god stick was not stage frightened at all, and seeing that the two were indifferent, he pretended to be profound and said: "I took a closer look, and I found that it was not good!"

The god stick shook off the dust, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at the two of them: "This young master, your face is purple, your lips are white, and your eyes are blank, it's not good." Look at this young lady again, your face is pale, and your forehead is bloodshot, it's not good!"

"These are all signs of great evil, and within two days there will inevitably be a bloody disaster. So you two have to be on guard..."

"That's right, it's also fate! There are just two talismans handed down by the Sanqing Patriarch here in the poor road, and now it's only ten taels..."

"Eh, why are you two leaving?..."

"Young master, madam, please stay, you really have a bloody disaster..."

"Do you want five taels, I'll give you ...... five taels"

"Hey... Poor doll, reincarnated in this family, and created evil..."

"Three-two... Consider..."

......

Since the word "young lady" popped out of the mouth of this magic stick, the two young men and women who had no face suddenly turned into pig liver faces.

This god stick is also not kind, for the New Year, in order to make a few small bucks, open your mouth and close your mouth to the bloody disaster, young lady, isn't this uncomfortable.

Listen and listen, the two of them really can't listen. With a red face, one person grabbed the watermelon and fled with a small hand...

This magic stick is still going on and on, and even the watermelon is torn up for him into a doll for two. almost scared the two people in a hurry.

I don't even have this in my eyes, and I don't know how he mixed this mouthful of food. Xia Xun and Peony are only fourteen or fifteen or sixteen, so it is impossible to give birth to a four-year-old doll...

People who are embarrassed and red-faced will go faster and faster. If it weren't for pulling the watermelon, both of them would have been eager to raise their legs and fly away, and quickly leave this magic stick far away...

That's.

Is it angry, funny, or something else in my heart.

The depression brought about by the thief doll before was so that disappeared without a trace. No one remembers what happened at the moment when the thief doll left...

The two of them were holding the watermelon and walking all the way.

They hurried under the giant lanternfish, and they didn't slow down. A strange watermelon, pulled by the two, looks like a low-flying kite. Around the small flower market that was dragged under the lantern fish, going around and around, back and forth.

Small flower market, fish and dragon dance.

Thousands of purples and thousands of reds, a hundred turns and a thousand turns.

The shouting rises and falls,

Laughter and laughter often greeted each other.

Two people, flying kites.

Shy, silent.

Walking around the long street ten times and again,

"Brother Xun, I'm tired of watermelon..."

Watermelon two crazy people, stop.

No one spoke, no one looked down at the watermelon, just stupidly in place. Men on the left and women on the right, each of them turned their red faces to the side, not knowing what to look at.

Very embarrassed and shy.

The watermelon was very strange, and raised his head blankly, looking at Xia Xun, and then at the peony. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the pink little mouth was about to pout again...

"Ahem..."

Peony coughed stiffly, pointed to a candy stall in front of her with her free hand, and said jerkyly: "There is a candy seller." ”

"Oh, let's go over it. ”

Xia Xun replied jerkily, and at the same time reached into his arms with one hand and took out the money.

“......”

"Huh?"

It's just that there is no next action in the second half of the month.

The foot that had just been lifted was put down by him again. He kept his hands in his arms and didn't move.

I've been staying for a long time...

The previous scenes instantly flashed memories in Xia Xun's mind, especially the scene half an hour ago, when the thief doll crashed into Xia Xun......

At that moment, that dirty baby face, that little hand that led the sheep......

Peony noticed that something seemed wrong with Xia Xun.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Xun waited for a long time before opening his lips with difficulty.

"He's a thief!"
