Chapter 41: Trouble with Candied Haws
they......
What on earth is it?
There were no such things as doll clothes in ancient times.
Jiang Miaomiao regretted not bringing Jiujiu with her, otherwise it would definitely know.
The eldest brother saw that others had given tips, so he also took out two cents and threw in.
It's a bit of a spendthrift!
The second round of performances increased the difficulty and involved writing "Three Character Classic".
The bearded man read and the three bears wrote.
"Man is born good; natures are similar, but habits make them different..."
Jiang Miaomiao felt something was wrong.
She wanted to watch it a little longer, but her brother carried her away.
"Let's go! Let's go back." Jiang Zifeng left the crowd dejectedly.
He was a little depressed.
It’s not enough that my younger brother’s handwriting is good, even Blind Bear’s handwriting is better than his.
He made up his mind to practice calligraphy well when he got home.
Don't embarrass my mother and brother.
Li Sanlang wanted to watch a little longer, but he was penniless and without Feng Ge'er, he had to walk the way back alone.
He doesn't want to walk.
He caught up, looking back every two steps.
Jiang Miaomiao was babbling and she didn't want to leave either.
She still hadn't figured out what those three things were.
"Don't be afraid, sister. Don't be afraid. The blind bear has been locked up. He won't come out to hurt anyone..." Jiang Zifeng hugged her and shook her gently.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
My brother must not know that sometimes people are much scarier than blind bears.
Her brother carried her around for a while and came to a place where small animals were sold.
There are rabbits, pheasants, and musk deer for sale...
There are also many birds.
Jiang Miaomiao discovered that small animals would make a few calls more or less.
She can hear everything.
But the blind bear didn't make a sound from beginning to end.
Witnessing the dangers of the world at such a young age, the baby's heart could hardly bear it.
.......
The sun gradually sets.
There were fewer and fewer people on the street, and the blind bear show had also closed down.
"The candied haws are sweet...the candied haws are big, and the candied haws are sweet..."
The fat woman who was selling candied haws was walking in front.
Walking and shouting.
In one hand he held a stick on which only two candied haws were left, and in the other hand he held a full basket of oranges.
Walking and walking.
I was bumped by a child running towards me.
The oranges were scattered all over the floor.
Jiang Zifeng and Li Sanlang walked quickly forward and picked up the oranges on the ground one by one.
"Auntie, we'll help you."
"Thank you so much!" The fat lady thanked him repeatedly, "Young man, my house is just in front, can you help me carry it over there?"
Jiang Zifeng looked at the sun and it was not yet the hour of You.
"Okay, Auntie, you lead the way." Jiang Zifeng and Li Sanlang picked up the baskets and followed the fat lady.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her elder brother was quite helpful, but she always felt something was wrong. She babbled a few times, trying to ask her elder brother not to go.
But the eldest brother walked faster.
As we walked, we followed the fat lady into an alley.
There was a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and the horses were eating grass. It seemed like they had been there for a long time.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a little nervous because there was no one in the alley.
I heard that many bad things happened in deserted alleys.
She held on to her brother's clothes tightly.
The fat lady stopped in front of a door and said, "I'm home. Thank you for taking me back. Would you like to come in for some tea?"
"No, no..." Jiang Zifeng and Li Sanlang shook their heads and waved their hands.
"Okay, I still have two strings of candied haws left, you guys can have them!"
The fat lady took two strings of candied haws from the stick and handed them to them.
Jiang Zifeng and Li Sanlang looked at each other.
After walking around for an afternoon, I was hungry, so I had some wontons and bought some goat milk for my sister. I only had money left for the trip home.
No money to buy anything else.
Jiang Zifeng licked his lips and took the candied haws. "Thank you, Auntie!"
Jiang Miaomiao stared at the candied haws with wide eyes.
Her brother put the candied haws to her mouth, but Miaomiao closed her mouth tightly and turned her head away.
He was so excited that he babbled and flapped his hands.
Brother, don't eat...
Jiang Zifeng thought his sister was making a fuss again, so he put them into his mouth one by one and ate them in a few big bites.
Haven't left the alley yet.
Jiang Miaomiao watched as her elder brother and Li Sanlang staggered and fell down...
Her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.
She was so afraid that her brother would crush her.
Fortunately, the eldest brother used his remaining consciousness to protect her to his chest.
Did you encounter a flower-patting kid?
People are treacherous.
I was careless!
Should she pretend to be dead or asleep?
A man with a scar on his face got off the carriage and dragged the eldest brother and Li Sanlang into the carriage.
The fat woman selling candied haws picked her up from the ground and frowned.
"Boss, what should we do with this little thing? It's too small to keep alive. Just throw it away!"
Jiang Miaomiao's heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out.
Can't throw it away, can't be separated from my brother...
what to do?
How can a small baby save itself?
The scarred man leaned over and took a look. The pink and tender little baby blinked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Don't cry or make a fuss.
"What a beautiful little baby! It would be a shame to throw it away. Let's keep it. Maybe it can become our cash cow when it grows up."
"Okay! Raise her and send her to a brothel. She should be able to charm a lot of people." The fat woman pinched Jiang Miaomiao's face.
"Master, this kid might be stupid. He doesn't cry or make a fuss."
Jiang Miaomiao cursed inwardly.
Damn woman, you even want to sell her to that kind of place...
"Who cares? As long as he looks good, don't waste time, or someone will find him." The scarred man shouted.
Jiang Miaomiao was carried into the carriage by the fat woman.
I saw two children huddled in the corner.
The light is dim and I can’t see the features clearly.
The sobbing sounded like a little boy.
The scarred man opened the curtain and shouted at the little boy, "If you cry again, I'll throw you to the wolves."
The two kids shut up instantly.
When leaving the city gate, Jiang Miaomiao heard Uncle Quan's shouting.
"Go back to Taoxi Village, go back to Taoxi Village..."
“Ahhhh…”
Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth and burst into tears, crying with all her might.
But it seems to be of no use.
The man with the scar was driving a horse-drawn carriage and sped past Uncle Quan at high speed.
Uncle Quan’s shouts were blown away like the wind.
The fat woman was startled and quickly covered her mouth, glaring at her, "Little cub, if you cry again, I'll throw you out to feed the wolves."
The call for help failed.
Jiang Miaomiao shut up obediently.
If she continued crying, she believed that this woman would really throw her out to feed the wolves.
Why should women make things difficult for other women?
Forget it! As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Wang Quan rubbed his ears and glanced at the carriage passing by him.
He seemed to have heard a baby crying just now.
"Brother Quan, why don't you leave yet? It will be dark if you don't leave now." Aunt Wang urged impatiently.
"What's the rush? Wait a moment!"
Wang Quan stood on tiptoe and looked towards the city...
"Why haven't Feng Ge'er and Li Sanlang arrived yet? Has anyone seen them?" He ran back and forth several times, it was impossible for him to miss them.
Aunt Wang smacked her lips and said, "Just go take the bus with the others. Don't wait any longer. We still have to hurry home for dinner."
