The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Longyan and Xia Bai came to wander the streets of Baili Town again.

Since returning from Juhaomen that day, Li Ji seems to have more thoughts, and secretly discusses something with Xia Shi Yushen every day, and the number of times the two of them specialize in martial arts together has also increased greatly.

Li Longyan asked his father to go out to play with him, but Li Ji always said that he had no time and asked Xia Bai to accompany his son out.

Li Longyan didn't want his mother to accompany him, he felt like a teenager, and he wanted his mother to take him when he went out, which was a bit awkward.

Xia Bai said: "It's not your mother who accompanies you, it's you who accompany your mother." I haven't gone out to relax in the past few days, can you go out with your mother?"

Li Longyan had no choice but to agree.

On the street, Baili Town is as prosperous as ever, Li Longyan played with his father last time, and this time he acted as a guide and took his mother around.

The places he finds interesting are nothing more than delicious food stalls, quirky toy stores, and juggling places. However, Xia Bai likes to visit some silk shops and jewelry stores, especially when he sees the silk in the south of the Yangtze River, he can't take a step.

She stroked the smooth and delicate silk satin, thinking about the size of her husband and son, imagining what they would look like when they put them on, and couldn't help but look soft and smile.

Li Longyan was bored behind her.

It was easy to wait for Xia Bai to finish talking to the boss about the size, negotiate the price, pull a few feet of silk, and when he wanted to pay the bill, Li Longyan instinctively wanted to take out the gold-plated bronze medal, thought about it for a while, and took it back.

Xia Bai saw it in his eyes. She paid the silver to the shopkeeper, and after going out, she asked Li Longyan: "I see, you want to make the bronze medal of the Flying Snow Gang, but why did you take it back?"

Li Longyan said: "This ...... I think it's not good to take advantage of others like this. The meal I had with my father last time cost more than seven taels of silver from the Flying Snow Gang, which is already a lot!"

Xia Bai nodded and said, "Good son, do the right thing! Don't be too greedy, you must know how to stop in moderation, otherwise, after a long time, everyone will not like you." ”

Li Longyan looked at the silk in Xia Bai's arms and said, "Mom, you want to make silk clothes for us?"

Xia Bai said: "Yes, is this silk good-looking?"

Li Longyan said: "It's okay." It's just that our family doesn't usually wear this kind of clothes, so why do you want to do it now?"

Xia Bai pondered for a moment and said, "That's because ...... Longyan, we may not be able to live in Longyang Village for a long time. “

Li Longyan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?

Xia Bai said: "Well, move, move to a far place, Jiangnan." ”

Li Longyan was stunned for a moment and said, "We, are we going back?"

Suddenly hearing that he was leaving here, Li Longyan was a little stunned for a while.

He also knew that he would have to go back one day sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Is Jiangnan fun? Are there friends like Wang San, Cui Wu, Zhao Nan, and Ji Fei? Is there such a lively and prosperous place as Baili Town?

I've been practicing archery for so long, and I haven't had time to shoot rabbits and grouses in Hidden Dragon Mountain!

Li Longyan suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, including a longing for the south of the Yangtze River and a reluctance to the old people in Longyang Village.

Xia Bai smiled: "What, a little reluctant to go?"

Li Longyan sighed and said, "If you want to go, you don't have to go. Mom, you said that we made these silk clothes because we left Longyang Village, why is that? I have to wear beautiful clothes when I go back to Jiangnan, I know this, but in our Longyang Village, why can't we wear silk clothes?"

Xia Bai said: "Well, well, there is a truth in this, see if you understand." ”

Li Longyan thought for a while and said, "We didn't have money before, but Grandpa Xia gave us gold, and we can afford to buy silk." ”

Xia Bai shook his head and said, "Do you think we used to be poor?"

Li Longyan blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully, it was true, although he wore coarse cloth clothes in his own days, he had meat to eat at meals and wine to drink at meals. Dad sometimes had the leisure to buy some flowers and goldfish in Baili Town to bring back, and a few times bought jewelry for Mom. Those flowers and goldfish are said to be famous species, and those jewelry, although Li Longyan does not understand, but it looks like a treasure overflowing, exquisite workmanship, and the price must be very expensive.

It seems that the income from his own grocery store and his father's medical practice alone will not be able to do this.

What's more, many times, my father doesn't charge money for practicing medicine.

In this way, my own family, I'm afraid that I can't really say a poor word, but where did this money come from?

Xia Bai smiled and said: "Your father and I have come all the way from Jiangnan to treat you, how can we bring more money? Our two families gave us ......" She seemed to want to say a number, and after a moment, she paused for fear of startling Li Longyan, and said: "Anyway, we have money." ”

Hearing that his family was rich, Li Longyan was naturally very happy, he looked at the silk in Xia Bai's hand, and said: "Mom, since our family is rich, why do we have to wear the same clothes as others when we are in the village, except for eating and drinking? Even those beautiful jewelry, you only wear them at home, never wear them outside?"

Xia Bai held back his smile and said: "Long Yan, Mom has taught you another way to be a man, the so-called tree is a big wind, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." We live in Longyang Village, and if we are too different from the villagers, we will be looked at differently by the villagers, and all kinds of ...... All kinds of bad thoughts and comments will come to us. ”

Li Longyan said curiously: "Why is that? I think the people in our village ...... It's all good!"

Xia Bai shook his head, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes that saw through the world, and said: "That's because, in Longyang Village, everyone is the same, no one surpasses anyone too much, everyone is with each other, so it is not difficult to get along." Let me tell you, in fact, there are evil roots in the hearts of everyone in this world, and the most obvious thing is that you can't tolerate others who are much better than yourself. ”

Li Longyan pondered for a long time, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Xia Bai sighed and said, "Saying these words makes people unhappy! There are monkey tricks at the intersection of the East Road, let's go and take a look." ”

*

The East Junction Market is another lively place. There is a large square on the north side of the market, where many acrobats gather. In a corner of the square, only the sound of gongs can be heard, a large circle of people gather there, laughing and cheering endlessly, and when you look closely, there is an old man playing monkey inside.

Xia Bai's mother and son were standing outside the circle and watching, watching interestingly, when they suddenly heard someone next to them shouting: "Long Yan, Aunt Xia." ”

The two turned their heads to look, but they were Wang San and Cui Wu from Longyang Village.

Li Longyan was overjoyed and beckoned, "You are here too?"

The two boys ran over and said, "Yes, I want to play with you these days, see that the door of your house is closed, it turns out that you came here, when will you go back?"

Li Longyan said: "I don't know, I'll stay here for a few more days." What are you doing here?"

Wang Sandao: "There are not enough rice oil candles at home, your store is closed, and there is nowhere to buy it, so my father will come to this Baili Town to buy it, and I will come to play." Cui Wudao: "My family too." ”

Li Longyan said, "How long will you stay here?"

Wang San said: "Daddy said that it is difficult to come out once, and he will go around Baili Town for a long time, and he is going to stay here for one night, and he will go back tomorrow; ”

Li Longyan said happily: "That's good! In the past two days, I can play with you." ”

Cui Wu smiled hesitantly and said, "I'm afraid that we will accompany you, you are here, what friends do you have?" ”

Li Longyan said: "Who said it wasn't...... I'm here, I've had a good time, I've tried everything delicious!"

Wang San Cui Wu laughed after eating, and said, "Yes, with my mother by my side, I had a good time." ”

Li Longyan's face turned red, glared at the two of them, and said, "My mother came out to buy clothes, and I helped with the things." ”

Wang San pouted and said, "The thing is still in Aunt Xia's hands, and I haven't seen you holding it." ”

Li Longyan said: "Don't talk nonsense, what are your plans?"

The two said: "I don't know, just go shopping now." ”

Li Longyan said: "Okay, I'll work hard and take you to play." ”

Xia Bai saw that the three boys were piled up, and estimated that Li Longyan would think that he was redundant, so he immediately called his son aside and said: "You come here, there is indeed no friend to play with you, you just go to play with them, remember not to run out of the town, come back early." Li Longyan nodded in agreement. Xia Bai took out another tael of silver and stuffed it in his hand, and said, "Invite friends to play, be generous." ”

Li Longyan said: "Got it." Thank you Mom. ”

Xia Bai whispered again: "If you encounter anything in the town, you can show the bronze medal of the Flying Snow Gang, but don't use it if you have nothing to do, you have to teach the enemies of the Flying Snow Gang to see it, it is dangerous to you." ”

Li Longyan said: "Mom, don't worry, I won't use it indiscriminately." ”

After the instructions, Xia Bai and Wang San and Cui Wu said hello and left on their own.

Without the restraint of adults, the three little ghosts came out of the cage like sleepy birds and played freely in the town.

At noon, the three of them found a wonton stall and ordered three bowls of wontons, and Li Longyan bought some crispy fried scallion pancakes and ate them together.

The wonton stuffing is a mixture of fine meat and green onions, and the bowl is accompanied by a soup boiled with big bones, which is very delicious and delicious.

While he was eating comfortably, he suddenly heard a commotion on the street, and heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.

The carriages seemed to be carts for pulling goods. When I looked closer, each carriage was covered with a few straw mats, some of which were not completely covered, and a pair of double feet were exposed at the ends, some of which were stained with blood.

The three little ghosts only looked pale, and a thought came to their hearts: "Is it all loaded in this car...... Dead man?"

The driver of the car, and the escorts on both sides, were dressed in orange striped costumes, and their expressions were gloomy. Li Longyan looked at their clothes and already recognized that they were all members of the Flying Snow Gang's Tiger Hall.
