In front of the Zhang brothers is a wide road that is two or three times wider than the streets of Lu Town, there are countless shops on the side of the road, the people on the street are bustling, the sound of selling is constant, and it is very lively, it is simply a copy of the streets of Lu Town in the New Year, and it is no wonder that the Zhang brothers misunderstood, they have never seen such a formation on weekdays.

Zhang Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "It's already a hot day, where did the New Year come from?"

Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and said: "Yes, this Pingyang City is really lively, if you don't come to see it, you really don't know." ”

Although the things in front of them are very fresh, but the two of them have been out for a few days, and they also know that they have seen very little before, many things are looking at their hearts, slowly digesting and accepting, this lively scene is used to watching it, in fact, Zhang Xiaohua himself did not feel it, his speed and vision of accepting new things in the outside world have slowly exceeded the scope of a thirteen-year-old child, maybe this is maturity.

Zhang Xiaohu is old after all, and he has heard others talk about the prosperity of Shijie outside on weekdays, and he has imagined it in his heart before, but it is also based on Lu Zhen, although what he sees now is bigger than he expected, but he can quickly accept it.

The two of them walked around the crowd with curiosity, looking here and there from time to time, looking at somewhere, at first they were a little restrained, but they soon found that although many of these people were brightly dressed, there were also many of them dressed plainly, and everyone's eyes did not stay on them too much, and even the guys in the street shops invited them kindly, so they soon relaxed.

But after walking for a short time, the two were dumbfounded again, why?

They are lost, and they don't know where to go, and it seems that they have long since strayed from the route that the chariot and horse dealers have given them.

When they got lost, they naturally had to find someone to ask for directions, and the two wondered who to ask.

At this time, a young man walked from behind, squeezed between the two, and said as he walked: "Borrow light, let let." ”

Zhang Xiaohua listened, and turned sideways very casually, letting people pass, but when the man walked by, he suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Xiaohu's waist, and suddenly smoothed Zhang Xiaohu's small money bag, at this time Zhang Xiaohu was still looking around, looking for people who asked for directions, and Zhang Xiaohua's senses were now so sensitive, he saw this situation out of the corner of his eye, and quickly took a step forward, blocking in front of the man, raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the man holding the money bag, and said sharply: "What are you doing?"

The young man's age and height were about the same as Zhang Xiaohu, and he looked at the child in front of him who was a head shorter than himself, as well as his hand that grabbed his wrist, and said very casually: "Don't do anything." ”

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Then why did you take my second brother's money bag in your hand?"

The young man sneered and said, "How did this become your family's money bag, obviously in my hands, it is mine." ”

After speaking, he shook off Zhang Xiaohua's hand and tried to pull out his hand, how could Zhang Xiaohua let him get his wish, with a slight effort in his hand, "Ouch, ouch" The young man immediately screamed and begged for mercy: "Master spare your life, light, light, your wrist is about to break." ”

Zhang Xiaohu also found an abnormality, and the splitter snatched his money bag from the man's hand, opened the bag to see if there was any silver missing, Zhang Xiaohua saw that the second brother got the money bag, so he naturally let go of his hand, and at this moment, a few more people ran from behind, passing by Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua and others, and bumped into the two of them, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but wonder, why are these people so reckless, what is there to worry about, but when people ran over, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, the person who stole the money bag just now was gone, the Zhang brothers looked at each other again, it seems that the person behind and the person who stole things in front should be in the same group, and then check it carefully, Fortunately, I didn't lose anything, so the two didn't pay attention to it.

But because of this, I also have a sense of distrust of the people here, and even ask for directions to find a good-looking grandmother. Waiting for the clear route, the two brothers went forward again, this Pingyang City is really not ordinarily big, the two walked a stick of incense time, but did not walk to the east gate, the two are not tired, however, this day is too hot, crowded people, the two have long been thirsty, walked to a corner, just saw a shed selling herbal tea on the side of the road, it is a penny and a big bowl of thirst-quenching herbal tea, the two were overjoyed, walked over, one person drank a big bowl beautifully, and asked the way carefully after closing the money, the two were about to leave, suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua grabbed Zhang Xiaohu, pointed to a person in front of him and whispered: "Second brother, look at the person in front of you, is it the one who stole our money bag just now?"

Zhang Xiaohu looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, when I stole the money bag just now, I didn't pay attention, I didn't see what the person looked like, and I was taken away." ”

Zhang Xiaohua said with certainty: "It should be right, it's him." ”

Zhang Xiaohu was a little suspicious: "Are you sure? Don't wronged others, besides, now we have no evidence, we can't arrest him." ”

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Second brother, what do you see him doing, he is staring at the girl's money bag in front of him." ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked at it again, no, there was a girl walking in front of the young man, holding a pot of unknown flowers in her hand, and a small emerald green money bag on her waist kept swaying with the girl's walk, didn't the young man's eyes just stare at the money bag?

Just watching, the young man quickened his pace, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly threw the small burden in his hand to Zhang Xiaohu, and said, "Help me take it, second brother, see how I catch the thief." ”

At this time, the young thief had already run to the girl's side, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed it, he took the money bag in his hand, and then pulled his legs and ran, and the girl felt it, and shouted: "My money bag, you hateful little thief." ”

However, she was holding a flower pot in her hand, how could she chase it? She had to stomp her feet, and secretly said in her mouth: "Let you take it first, and then go back and let the third uncle clean you up." ”

The girl was annoyed, and Zhang Xiaohua, who was brave and brave, arrived and said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you recover it." ”

After speaking, he chased after the thief's back, shouting as he ran: "Catch the thief who steals." ”

The thief heard someone shouting, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the person who caught his wrist just now, thinking about the black green on his wrist, he immediately quickened his pace, trying to get rid of Zhang Xiaohua's pursuit.

In the thief's thoughts, this little flower is just a little child, and despite his strength, he can't run faster than adults, and he can run away in a short time.

But Zhang Xiaohua is the exception, chasing a few streets, the thief is already a little powerless, look back, Zhang Xiaohua is still chasing, the distance is getting closer and closer, and then look around, because he ran away, the brother who covered himself did not rush over, the thief couldn't help but feel a little weak, his eyes rolled, he raised his hand and threw the money bag in his hand to an alley, and then he ran in the opposite direction, Zhang Xiaohua chased here and had to pick up the money bag first, and when he came back, the thief had already gone into the alley and disappeared.

However, Zhang Xiaohua's purpose was only to recover the money bag, and he didn't think about arresting people, so he returned the same way.

Fortunately, the chase was not too far, Zhang Xiaohua was able to return according to her memory and see that the little girl was still waiting in place.

Taking the money bag handed over by Zhang Xiaohua, the little girl smiled and said, "Xiexie, you." ”

Looking at this girl with pigtails and red and green clothes, Zhang Xiaohua blushed slightly, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, he wanted to steal our things just now, but this person was very cunning and didn't catch it, so he let him run away." ”

The little girl said, "It's okay, just chase the money bag back, xiexie, I'll go first, there are still people waiting for me over there." ”

After speaking, the little girl smiled at Zhang Xiaohua again, turned around and walked east.

Zhang Xiaohu also came over at this time, and exaggerated Xiaohua with a smile: "Xiaohua, you are really powerful, you can chase the money bag back, but you are still young, in case of fighting, you are not an opponent, let me chase it next time." ”

Zhang Xiaohua took over her little burden and said, "It's okay, second brother, I think I'm pretty good now, I've been chasing for so long just now, and I'm not very tired." ”

Zhang Xiaohu thought that his younger brother was bragging, and he didn't expose it, so he also smiled and said: "That's it, Xiaohua has grown up, of course it's very powerful." ”

The two of them laughed and walked east, but coincidentally, they were right behind the little girl.

After walking for a while, the little girl turned around and saw that the two of them were also walking behind, so she stopped. When the two of them got closer, they asked, "It seems that we are on the way, where are you going?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "We want to go to the Ethereal Villa. ”

"Ethereal Villa?" the little girl snapped, "what are you doing there?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "We want to learn martial arts. ”

"Learn martial arts, go to the Ethereal Villa?" the little girl was even more stunned, "I haven't heard that the Ethereal Villa is recruiting disciples again?"

But the little girl said, "It's still far from the Ethereal Villa, how do you get there?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little and said, "Yes, it's the first time we came, and we don't know how to go." ”

The little girl smiled and said, "That's it, I happen to be on the way, you come with me, I'll send you over, just as a thank you for helping me recover the money bag just now, how about it?"

Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Okay, then I'll be yours too." ”

Sure enough, on the side of the road not far ahead, a carriage was parked, and a lot of flower pots had been placed on the car, but there was still a free place on the car.

Sitting in the car, the three of them had a simple conversation, and they knew each other's names, Zhang Xiaohua also knew that this girl's name was Qiutong, and she was a girl from a mountain villa, and she came out to buy some bonsai used in Zhuangzi, and the others didn't talk much, just listened to Qiutong's introduction to the situation of Pingyang City and the surrounding attractions.
