"Hey, you little brat, all I asked you to do was help this old man up, why are you shouting so loudly? You're deafening me! I don't need your help, I can walk by myself."

The old man, looking disgusted, took his hand off Xu Yi and awkwardly stepped back two paces.

Fu Man'er was startled and ran to Xu Yi. She saw him biting his lip tightly and sweat beading on his forehead. "Brother?"

Xu Yi's throat moved, and his right hand trembled as he reached for his left arm. Just now, he heard the sound of bones cracking. Was his arm broken?

He carefully touched it with his right hand, but everything seemed normal.

"Brother." Fu Man'er looked anxious, not knowing what was wrong, so she tugged at Xu Yi's left hand.

Xu Yi thought he was experiencing excruciating pain again, but when he moved his arm, the pain was gone.

He looked down at his left hand, tentatively moved it, and found nothing wrong.

It shook again, but it was still fine.

Swing it around in one more big circle, and it's really fine!

This realization thrilled Xu Yi. His arm was perfectly fine, as if the pain was just his imagination.

"Brother?" Fu Man'er's original anxiety had disappeared. Seeing her brother like this, she felt that there was something seriously wrong with him.

Xu Yi suddenly picked up Fu Man'er and carried her steadily without any effort.

"Brother, Grandpa." Fu Man'er still remembered that she was supposed to help the old man.

The two looked at the old man. Fu Man'er tightened her grip on Xu Yi's neck and said in a small voice, "Brother, Grandpa, one hand."

Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with shock. Just now, she was standing on the left side of the old man and could only see his left hand. Now she could see that his other sleeve was empty.

"Hmm." Xu Yi didn't know what to say, so he just responded. It seemed that his grandfather had always only had a left hand, and he had never heard his grandfather say how he lost his right hand.

The old man staggered a few steps, and Xu Yi thought for a moment before putting Fu Man'er down.

"You wait here, I'll help the old man to sit on the rock in front." He was still worried that the old man was too drunk to walk steadily and might fall down.

"Grandpa, let me help you." Xu Yi took two big steps to catch up and reached out to help him, but the old man dodged away.

"Little one, just help me up. This old man can walk. You go back and sell fish. I'll come to your house to buy some fish tonight." The old man didn't even look at him and walked straight ahead.

A villager passing by saw it was an old man and said, "Don't mind him. This old man is amazing. No matter how drunk he is, he can still walk into the house and sleep."

"That's right, just ignore it. There are so many people on the road, they can all see it."

Xu Yi looked up and saw that there were indeed quite a few people on the main road in the village, which is why he didn't chase after them.

The old man staggered, his body slightly hunched, his head occasionally swaying, the wind constantly blowing his empty sleeves behind him.

Xu Yi was confused. He didn't know if what had just happened was real. He clearly couldn't break free when his grandfather grabbed his arm.

But he also saw the old man struggling to get up, his hands on the ground.

And then there was that cracking sound. Not only was his arm perfectly fine, but it didn't hurt anymore either. What on earth happened?

With his mind preoccupied, Xu Yi was distracted while selling fish. Fortunately, the little girl Fu Man'er would occasionally shout out her name, her earnestness attracting the attention of passersby.

The man glanced at the fish and was satisfied. Then he heard the price and exclaimed, "Wow, cheap! This price would probably only buy a small fish in town!"

"Quick, kid, pack me one." Seeing that there were only two children selling fish, he was secretly delighted. The two kids were too young to understand and probably didn't know the price of the fish. He had gotten a bargain. He had to leave quickly before the adults caught up with him.

Fu Man'er watched the man carrying the fish, swinging it as he walked quickly, and thought to herself, "If he walks even faster, maybe the fish will still be alive when we get home."

To save time, he didn't even ask Xu Yi to use banana leaves to wrap the fish in water. He just tied it up with hemp rope and ran off with the fish.

With only one fish left in the bucket, the space felt much more spacious, and the fish swam more happily. Fu Man'er squatted by the bucket and put her hand in. Xu Yi didn't restrain her and helped her roll up her sleeves so she could have fun.

The two people in front made their purchases quickly, and the people behind them did as well. They not only bought the fish, but also the bucket, because the child saw Fuman playing happily in the bucket and insisted on playing like that too.

Finally, he was given an extra five coins, and the bucket was put directly onto the cart. Five coins was a bit too much, so Xu Yi returned three coins and put the twenty-two copper coins into his money bag.

"Let's go home." Xu Yi patted the money bag with satisfaction and prepared to go back with Fu Man'er.

"Hey, kid, kid, wait a minute." Xu Yi had only taken two steps when he heard someone calling him. He didn't know who was calling him, so Fu Man'er turned around and glanced back.

The man quickly caught up, saying, "You two kids, I'm calling you." It was the middle-aged man who had come over to ask about the fish earlier.

Xu Yi looked at him with suspicion. What are you here for?

口口五六三七四三六七五

The man glanced at both of them. "Where are your buckets and fish?"

"It's sold," Xu Yi said.

The man's eyes widened in disbelief. "Sold them all?"

The two nodded, and the man looked around for a long time; there was indeed nothing around them.

"Ouch!" The man slapped his thigh. Damn it, he went to town, but the fish there were neither as good in price nor size as the ones sold by children.

He paid twenty coins, and the fish he bought was only as long as a chopstick.

He hurriedly rushed back from town, thinking that he only had two children, and bargained with the price to buy a big fish for fifteen coins to take home.

Despite his haste, the fish was still gone. What a tragedy! Watching the sun gradually set, the man felt even more bitter. His domineering wife had insisted that there had to be fish soup for dinner, otherwise…

He dared not think about what would happen next, shuddered, and turned ashen-faced.

Quick, run to town again to buy fish, or he'll be in big trouble today.

The man ran away with a look of utter despair on his face. Fu Man'er glanced at his octopus-like running posture and said to Xu Yi:

"Brother, that uncle is so funny."
