"Xing'er, let's go home." Si Jiu squatted beside Shen Xinghe and stretched out his hand as if to hold his hand.
Although she couldn't actually touch anything, she was eager to do something.
"Let's not sit here anymore. It's so cold here and it's going to snow soon. Let's go home."
Shen Xinghe turned a deaf ear to it.
He really couldn't hear it.
"From now on, I'll take you to drink sweet soup, buy you candied haws, and buy you candies. It doesn't matter if you can't see the acrobatics, I can take you to fly on a sword, and you can see farther and more clearly than anyone else.
Let's go home, it's snowing." Sijiu stroked Xiao Xinghe's head from a distance, "It's snowing, it's very cold."
"It's going to snow. Why are you here alone, little kid?"
Si Jiu and Shen Xinghe both heard this unfamiliar voice.
Si Jiu looked up in surprise, and then saw the fat old lady selling Raorao candy - no, she looked to be in her early forties now, so it was a bit of a stretch to call her an old lady.
Shen Xinghe also raised his head, but his eyes were empty, as if it took him a long time to react to what the man said.
He opened his mouth and said after a while, "Sister said that if you eat something sweet, it won't be bitter."
"So you want to eat candy. Auntie has some candy, do you want some?"
Sijiu frowned fiercely.
There was finally some light in Shen Xinghe's eyes. "I, I'll give it to my sister, but... my copper coins." As he spoke, he curled up his empty palms, and the light in his eyes went out again.
"You have no money, that's a shame. But Auntie feels sorry for you, so if you behave yourself, Auntie won't charge you any money and will give you candy for free, okay?"
"Really? I, I'm very good."
Xiao Xinghe suddenly looked up and eagerly reached out to grab the fat woman's trouser leg, but perhaps remembering that his hands were dirty, he quickly shrank back, "I'm sorry, I, I'm not sick, I'm not dirty, no, it's just a little dusty, I'll wipe it for you..."
The fat woman's face seemed a little dark, but she quickly covered it up.
"It's okay, just go back and change and wash.
Come with me, I'll give you some candy."
Shen Xinghe had perhaps never encountered such kindness before. For a moment, he felt helpless and indescribable.
No matter how badly he was beaten, he didn't shed a single tear, but now his eyes suddenly turned red and tears fell one by one.
But he was probably afraid of upsetting the other person, so he immediately wiped away his tears with his sleeve, got up from the ground, and said obediently and flatteringly, "Thank you, auntie, thank you very much."
"What a polite child! Come with your aunt."
The fat woman turned around and Shen Xinghe quickly followed.
Sijiu went to pull him from behind, "Don't follow me, idiot."
But it came up empty.
Wine steward: ! !
She gritted her teeth and chased after him again.
"Aunt, where are you taking me?" They walked a long way and it was getting darker. His ribs hurt and his head was dizzy. Besides, his sister was still waiting for him at home, so he could hardly walk anymore.
"The candy is at home. It's just in front. It will be here soon."
Sugar. This word gave Shen Xinghe motivation. He gritted his teeth and struggled to keep up.
There was a dark alley ahead. The fat woman took only a few steps inside before her figure melted into the darkness and became almost invisible.
Shen Xinghe was inexplicably frightened and suddenly stopped.
He felt uneasy, as if something horrible was waiting for him inside.
He didn't want to go in.
Even if he didn't bring anything sweet back to his sister today, she wouldn't be angry with him.
My sister has never been angry with him.
He began to back down and began to retreat step by step.
At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed his arm tightly.
The fat woman's face, which looked a little ferocious unless she smiled, was half hidden in the darkness as she moved towards him.
"Why are you running? Don't you want candy?"
Xiao Xinghe struggled desperately but couldn't get rid of the hand.
"I, I don't want any candy anymore. I want to go home."
"Haha... You can't change your mind so easily, little kids. Didn't you promise your aunt that you would be obedient?
Come here to me."
"No……"
The small figure was dragged into the dark alley.
