A Yuan actually knew nothing about Xishi.

I heard the innkeeper mention it once when I first came to the capital, before I was cheated by that fake waiter.

That time they complained that the woodshed in the inn was too expensive, so the innkeeper said that there were plenty of lodging houses and dormitories in the West Market that cost ten cents a night, but they were very messy and he was afraid they would not dare to stay there.

It sounds like men and women live together, and there are all kinds of people.

At that time, the family had just been robbed in the street by Lai San's gang, and had to sell the carriage at a low price under coercion. They felt that the capital was too chaotic and did not dare to take risks in places where there were too many people.

After that, the family stayed in the East Market, although they had been there for almost two years. But they had never been to the West Market and had no time to come.

Originally, Yuan thought it was similar to the East Market, but as soon as he got off the carriage, he immediately felt a kind of "special" bustle that did not exist in the East Market!

In fact, if you look closely, the things sold on both sides are similar, just food, cloth, and some miscellaneous commonly used items, or there are street performers who have set up land to perform on the street.

The difference is that the stalls in the East Market are arranged in rows and in an orderly manner. Although it is bustling, there is order in the hustle and bustle.

The West Market is a mess, with items displayed haphazardly, but the things sold there seem to be more complete than those in the East Market.

At least Yuan had never seen people selling oxen, horses, donkeys, mules and other things on Dongshi Street.

There were even people selling scary-looking snakes, centipedes, and spiders. Yuan saw someone stringing very fat rats together and roasting them to sell, and his business was surprisingly good!

That pointy thing looked even scarier without the fur, and it made her afraid of mice again.

Even if there were any living things in the East Market, they were ducklings and chicks, and the larger ones were puppies and kittens.

When Yuan was selling snacks, he once saw some big yellow dogs and big black dogs for sale in the East Market. He looked at them curiously for a long time and even wanted to touch one.

But the two dogs and the dog dealer were too arrogant and didn't want to pay attention to her. Even her efforts were in vain and she couldn't get a pet. So she had to leave. When she came back, the dog had already been bought.

In the West Market, Yuan even saw a tiger. Even though it was dead, it still seemed to be powerful.

All the excitement made Yuan dazzled. Even the Hu and Qiang people, who looked different from the people of Daliang and spoke in gibberish, seemed ordinary in comparison.

After all, people generally look the same and you can occasionally see them on the street, except that there are some differences in skin color and body shape, which is far less interesting than other things.

A Yuan thought everything in Xishi was new and interesting, but she didn't expect that Zhao Ru, who kept clamoring to watch sumo, was actually more excited than she was and acted like she was not familiar with it at all.

Shao Linfang lifted her skirt and carefully avoided the dirt on the ground, fearing that she would dirty her clothes. Bai Xin kept pulling her around, and soon the two maids were carrying a lot of things in their hands.

If Shao Linfang hadn't been in charge, she would probably have bought a snake to play with.

Jiang Yanyan and Pei Suxiao looked like they had been here before, but when they pointed the way, they were wrong two or three out of five times.

From time to time, he would stop to think and ask the maid to ask.

The further Yuan followed them, the more he felt that something seemed to be wrong, and his excited heart grew colder.

"You..." Yuan asked hesitantly, "Have you really been here?"

When they were discussing plans these days, they clearly sounded like they were very familiar with each other, and they even said they wanted to take Yuan here and there.

But when they really got there, they couldn't even find where the sumo was. They walked for a long time but didn't even see its shadow. How could they keep getting lost in a place that was so familiar to them? Why did they need to ask for directions?

The more Yuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked out loud.

Except for Bai Xin, everyone else who asked this question answered in unison: "Of course!"

The loud voice and quick reaction scared Yuan, and his eyes became more suspicious, even frowning, and he said angrily with his hands on his waist:

“Liar!

Do you feel like you've been here before?"

"this……"

Zhao Ru and Jiang Yanyan, who were as naive as A Yuan, felt guilty instantly.

Pei Suxiao also seemed not so righteous.

Shao Linfang simply chose to turn a deaf ear to it, pretending she didn't hear anything, and even turned around to talk to her little cousin Bai Xin about whether she wanted to buy a monkey back home.

It would be fine at normal times, but what does the silence and avoidance at this moment look like?

Doesn’t it seem like a default?

Yuan: ...

"You lied to me!"

If Yuan's accusation has substance.

Zhao Ru muttered, "This...this is a matter between good sisters, how can it be called a lie!"

Besides, it's all about how I skipped classes for you, got beaten up, and you agreed, so you can't go back on your word, and how I was so sincere to you and so on.

Jiang Yanyan was better than Zhao Ru, who was so guilty that she didn't know what to say and was even about to get angry. She stammered:

"This is not a lie, we really have been here."

Yuan's face fell as he performed on the spot:

"You're still lying!"

Pei Suxiao quickly added: "It's true, Sister Shao, Jiang Yanyan and I have all been here, but..."

Pei Suxiao hesitated to speak, and said:

"It's just that I was sitting in a carriage with my elders at the time, and when I got out of the carriage later, I was surrounded by maids and old women, and there was someone to lead the way, so I didn't know them very well."

Perhaps she was afraid that Yuan would run away, so Shao Linfang, who had been pretending to be deaf, tried to smooth things over. She held Bai Xin with one hand and reached out to her with the other to comfort her:

"I know what you're worried about, don't be afraid.

Ju Qing and Gan Tang know a little bit of martial arts, and we all have our family badges, so no one would be so foolish as to mess with the children of the Jinyiwei.

Besides, since we are here now, wouldn’t it be a shame if we don’t have fun? "

Zhao Ru nodded and said:

"That's right, even though I forgot to bring my sign, let's have fun first before we leave!"

Yuan, who was almost persuaded, was suddenly speechless. Then he thought again, she forgot to bring it, but she didn't have any brand to protect herself!

The more I thought about it, the more unsafe I felt, but I couldn't persuade them.

Even though they usually call each other sisters affectionately, Yuan, after all, has no say at all. She can only be obedient on weekdays. Occasionally, she can show a little temper, but that is only when they are in the wrong.

It would have been fine if he didn't come out, but now they had already arrived at Xishi. Even if Yuan changed his mind, how could they listen to him? After thinking it over, Yuan had no choice but to follow them obediently.

So they all started running around happily again.

Yuan ran after him with a smile on his face but tears in his heart:

It's so chaotic here that I don't feel safe at all!

Chunmei! Grandma!

Come find me soon!

When will someone notice that we have escaped?
