Ever since being abducted into Heishan Village, Yuan Qiyu has been afraid of interacting with people.
When he sees unfamiliar people, he wants to avoid them and doesn't want to communicate with them.
During the days he lived with the pigs, he learned only animal habits.
For him, animals that can't talk can become his friends.
When he first returned to Yangzhou, he was even called a "monster" by Wei Shaoqing.
But at that time, he didn't even know what "monster" meant. He only knew that the man looked at him with eyes full of disgust.
Later, his mother, brothers and sisters slowly taught him to read and write, and to practice martial arts to keep fit.
He also gradually discovered a special ability of his - he only needed to glance at the other person to be very sensitive to his attitude towards him, whether it was good or bad.
The way my father, mother, elder brother, second sister and Zhizhi look at me is the purest and best.
The way Wei Shaoqing looked at him was completely the opposite.
The expressions of Second Cousin Shen and Great Uncle Shen were also good.
When he first saw his royal grandfather, although he was very majestic, Yuan Qiyu could tell that there was no malice in his eyes.
At first in the martial arts training ground, cousin Xuan and second sister said that it was strange that the third uncle was always staring at them, but he felt that the third uncle's eyes were the same as those of his other uncles.
So he likes to play with his third uncle.
This is also why he trusted Zhou Shan when he saw him again, because he saw kindness in Zhou Shan's eyes.
He trusts his intuition.
He also met many people along the way.
From resting in the mountains and forests to avoid everyone at the beginning, to rescuing the villagers in the mountains and their gratitude for his kindness, to starting to mingle in cities and towns.
Yuan Qi Yu slowly discovered that the outside world had both good and bad sides.
The bandits are bad and the villagers are good.
The uncles and aunts who set up stalls to sell hot buns and candied haws were kind enough not to charge him money when they saw he was alone; but there were also bad people who took advantage of the fact that he was not accompanied by an adult and wanted to rip him off.
There were good people who reminded him not to wander around alone, and there were bad people who followed him suspiciously.
There are also some people whose eyes cannot distinguish between good and bad. Yuan Qiyu thought of the words he had learned.
That's probably called indifference
…
After he decided to do business, he dealt with the shopkeepers along the way and could tell whether they were sincere or not from their eyes.
Yuan Qi Yu thought this was a very interesting thing, so he began to like observing the people around him.
After setting up the stall, the first lady who came, although she looked a little fierce, had a kind look in her eyes.
Especially after Yuan Qiyu smiled at her, that kindness deepened.
Yuan Qi Yu tried again. He communicated with the old lady. Although he was a little timid and afraid in his heart, he finally took a step forward.
So he sold his first piece of clothing.
When the old lady put the ninety-nine coins in his hand, she praised him repeatedly.
"Oh, you little brat are so sweet! Auntie bought it!"
Yuan Qiyu held the ninety-nine coins in his hands, and a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before arose in his heart.
…
After receiving the news from Yuan Heng, Yuan Zhao and Huo Yan rushed to the market entrance of Liangzhou City in a horse-drawn carriage without stopping.
It was a busy time, the market entrance was crowded with people, and the various stalls were bustling with activity.
One of the stalls was particularly eye-catching, as it was surrounded by people, mostly middle-aged women dressed simply. They were crowded together, chatting with each other and choosing fabrics. The scene was very lively.
Yuan Zhao pulled aside the car curtain and his eyes fell on the stall. He looked carefully for a long time before he found Yuan Qiyu's thin figure in the bustling crowd.
He stood behind the stall, looking a little at a loss at first. He was a little nervous being surrounded by several aunts, with a shy smile on his face.
"Is this... Qi Yu?" Huo Yan frowned slightly and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Yuan Heng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, look how amazing Xiaoyu is!"
Yuan Zhao leaned against the car window and did not rush to get out. Instead, he watched quietly, obviously quite interested in the scene in front of him.
She had heard from Mu Sheng that Xiaoyu had run away from home, and she didn't know what had happened.
From the current perspective, Xiaoyu should have a very exciting journey.
She also noticed Zhou Shan and was a little surprised that he was here.
She still remembered meeting Xiaoyu in Yangzhou City after Zhou Shan lost his child.
But Mo Yu said that Zhou Shan has always been with Xiao Yu, and even now when they set up a stall, it is mostly Zhou Shan who attracts and entertains customers.
Gradually, Yuan Zhao discovered that Yuan Qiyu's behavior began to change.
Although his face still had some childishness, he imitated Zhou Shan and his movements became much more skillful. His voice also became clearer and louder from the initial timidity.
"Auntie, look at this lake blue one, it will definitely go really well with your dress!"
He smiled and unfolded a piece of cloth. Although his technique was still not very skillful, there was a bit more confidence in his eyes.
"Uncle, are you buying clothes for your sister? Pink is most suitable for young girls!" He turned to another customer.
"Aunt, if you want to pick good materials, look here. These fabrics are much more expensive elsewhere, but we're quite affordable here!"
As he spoke, he handed a piece of soft cloth to the other person, his eyes full of anticipation.
The aunties around him were delighted by his enthusiastic calls of "Auntie" and "Auntie". They all smiled and nodded, and some even bought the fabrics directly.
The lively atmosphere in front of the stall became more and more intense, and the little face gradually showed excitement.
Huo Yan retracted his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled.
