The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
Su Jinyue held Bai Lina's hand and moved with her among the crowd. She kept an eye on the surroundings to prevent anyone from touching Bai Lina's belly.
"Jinyue, look, they're selling malt syrup over there. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Bai Lina saw the stall selling malt syrup in front of her and excitedly pulled Su Jinyue over.
"Slow down, don't forget you're pregnant." Su Jinyue said speechlessly. She didn't know what it felt like to run with a ball, but she knew it wouldn't be easy just by looking at it.
"When I was in school, I loved buying maltose syrup, especially the colored ones. Stirring it with two small sticks and watching it slowly turn pink or green was so satisfying." Bai Lina walked to a stall selling maltose syrup and looked at the various sugar figures made from it. She used to buy these sugar figures, but since she doesn't like sweets, she bought them just for fun.
Su Jinyue looked at the sugar figures on the stall and smiled slightly. Seeing the sugar figures reminded her of her childhood, when her master would always have people bring sugar figures back for her and Song Yiren every time they went to the market.
"Grandpa, buy two sticks of treacle." Bai Lina took out ten yuan and handed it to the old man selling treacle.
The old man was a little embarrassed when he saw the ten yuan, "Girl, do you have change? I can't find this." He was just a small businessman and only earned one or two yuan a day.
"I don't have any. How about taking two more sugar figures?" Bai Lina said. She hadn't used money in a long time, and this money was still in her storage ring.
The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "I still can't find the change." Two treacle syrups and two sugar figures only cost thirty cents. How could he find so much change?
Bai Lina looked at Su Jinyue, and Su Jinyue shook her head and smiled, "I don't have any either." There were also ten-dollar items in her storage ring.
"What should I do then?" Bai Lina frowned and asked. She really wanted to buy some syrup and relive the fun of the past.
Su Jinyue looked around and said, "Wait here for a moment. Let's go to the store over there and buy some peanuts."
"Yeah." Bai Lina nodded in response.
Su Jinyue walked towards a small shop not far away, but her consciousness never left Bai Lina. Although Nana was a cultivator, she was also a pregnant woman.
Walking to the front of the store, Su Jinyue took out some money and handed it to the girl in the store, "Give me a bag of peanuts."
"Okay." The little girl took the money, took out a bag of peanuts from the counter and handed it to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue took the peanuts and waited for the little girl to give her the change. Her spiritual sense discovered that not far from Bai Lina, there were two men with sneaky eyes staring at her.
"Here is your change." The girl in the store handed the money to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue took the money and walked towards Bai Lina. Those two people must have been thieves. They had just seen Nana take out ten yuan to buy some syrup, so they had a sinister idea. There are still many thieves nowadays, especially in downtown areas and bus stations.
Su Jinyue handed the change to the old man selling syrup, took the syrup and handed it to Bai Lina, "Let's go." As for the two thieves, she naturally didn't even look at them.
"Brother, they're leaving. Should we follow them?" asked the man with the short flat head.
"Nonsense, they are fat sheep. We can make a lot of money if we can deal with them." The dark-skinned man glared at the man with the short hair and hit him on the head.
The man with a short flat head stroked his head which was hurt by the blow and nodded aggrievedly.
"Someone is following us," Bai Lina said. She was a cultivator, and if she couldn't even sense this, then her cultivation would be in vain.
"They should be two thieves." Su Jinyue saw a stray dog on the side of the road and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The dark-skinned man and the man with a short flat head followed Su Jinyue and Bai Lina secretly, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Seeing Su Jinyue and Bai Lina stopped at a stall selling small accessories, the two smiled at each other and walked quickly towards Su Jinyue and Bai Lina.
"Wang wang wang!" Following a burst of dog barking, a big wolfhound rushed towards the dark-skinned man and the man with a short flat head.
"There's a dog, big brother, let's run." The man with the short flat head was so scared when he saw the dog rushing towards him that his face changed and he turned and ran.
"What's there to be afraid of dogs?" The dark-skinned man shook his head speechlessly, watching the crew-haired man running away. He used to run a dog farm, but later closed the winery after losing money and started his current business.
Seeing the dog pounce on him, the dark-skinned man glared at the big wolfhound and said, "Sit down!" He was good at training dogs.
However, he soon discovered that his dog training skills had no effect on the big wolfdog in front of him. He cursed and turned to run away, but he ran a little too late and his pants were bitten by the big wolfdog.
In his haste, he didn't care about his pants anymore and pulled them hard. He heard a "rip!" sound and then he felt a chill on his back.
The big wolf dog spat out the rag in its mouth, turned around and ran deep into the alley.
The onlookers were originally scared when they saw the dog biting someone, but now that the dog was gone, they couldn't help laughing when they saw the dark-skinned man covering his back with his hands in embarrassment.
"That bite was really in the wrong place."
"Oh! I'm so embarrassed."
"Why does the handkerchief on the ground look so familiar?" The middle-aged woman who spoke touched her pocket and found that her pocket was empty, with only a big cut on it, which was obviously cut with a blade.
After the middle-aged woman confirmed that the handkerchief was hers, she angrily shouted, "That man is a thief. He stole my money."
"My money is gone too. Let's go up and beat the bastard up."
When they found that their money was lost, they could no longer hold back and rushed towards the dark-skinned man.
Soon, screams of agony were heard from the crowd.
