Capital city.
The evening sun shines softly on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored eaves of the buildings. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops and workshops.
There are many small vendors with big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides.
It stretches east and west, all the way to the quieter suburbs outside the city.
Xiao Xu was wearing a Guangdong three-color glass skirt and strolling casually on the busy street, with a light step.
The brilliant sunshine spreads among the green tiles and red walls that are everywhere, the protruding eaves, the high-flying shop signs and flags, the coming and going carriages and the endless stream of pedestrians.
"Selling sesame cakes."
Shaobing...
Xiao Yu, wearing embroidered shoes, hopped to a stop in front of the pancake stall, raised her childish face, and asked with a smile, "Boss, I want two!"
"Okay, little girl."
The boss smiled and handed Xiao the yellow paper-wrapped pancake to him. "Five cents."
Xiao took out his purse, searched for a moment, and handed the five coins to the shopkeeper, clutching the paper-wrapped sesame cake in both hands.
Smelling the fragrance, she lowered her head and took a bite of the pancake. It was neither soft nor hard. Although it didn't taste as fragrant as it smelled, it was still okay.
Ga ga ga…
As she ate and walked, many passers-by looked at her, regardless of gender, age or status.
At first, Xiao Xu thought it was a problem with his image, but over time he realized that they were staring at his face as if they were admiring something beautiful.
Ever since he became a human, Xiao Xu never cared about his appearance. Even when he wanted to check himself occasionally, there was no mirror around him.
"That little girl is so pretty, with such a rosy and tender face. She's so adorable. If my son looks like that, I'll be so lucky."
"What a cute girl! Is she ten years old already? Whose family is she from? Why is she out walking alone?"
Xiao Xu didn't know how beautiful she was. Her skin was tender and white, and she looked like a daughter of a wealthy family. The dress she wore was also very beautiful, with a special and unique style.
She walked on the bluestone slabs, leaving footprints with each step, and a small silver bell hung on her ankle.
Every time you jump, the bells will ring a few times.
Five years ago, she learned the technique of hiding her soul from Xiao Lingling, but it didn't last long.
There are only two or three hours in a day, so every time the time comes, she has to transform into a bird and fly back to Shen Yanjin.
When she first learned it, her condition was very poor and she could only maintain it for about half an hour. After turning back into a bird, she was always very tired.
To use magic, one must utilize one's personal spiritual energy, that is, absorb the breath of heaven and earth, transform it into one's own soul-protecting energy, hide one's soul, and prevent ghosts and demons from noticing.
After five years of study, her skills have improved a lot. Apart from not being able to maintain time and talk too much with ordinary people, she basically has no problems.
After finishing a piece of pancake, Xiao Xu grabbed the yellow paper, put it in his sleeve, and started to bite another piece.
The way she eats is not that of a lady from a wealthy family, but to others, she looks smart and spoiled, which is very pleasing to the eye.
After finishing both pancakes, Xiao Hu clapped his hands and stopped in front of the stall selling rouge and powder.
The boss was a woman in her thirties or forties. When she saw Xiao Xu, stars almost came out of her eyes.
"What do you want to buy, little one?"
I thought to myself: I really want to pick her up by her limbs and spin her around in a circle. She is so cute.
Xiao Xu looked left and right, and his eyes fell on a small box.
The small box was engraved with a bird spreading its wings and flying high.
"I want this."
