Lin Dongyan and the others were standing in front of Yi Xiaoqiu. Once they got close to the crowd, they were squeezed away and no one knew where they were.
Seeing this, Shen Ruofei hurriedly grabbed Yi Xiaoqiu's arm.
Yi Xiaoqiu also grabbed Shen Ruofei's arm with his backhand.
When they entered the city of Xi, all they did was look at people.
You don't need to look back to know that there are a lot of people crowded behind, and looking in front, there are nothing but black heads.
Yi Xiaoqiu pulled Shen Ruofei from the middle to the stall next to them, and they both soon broke out in a sweat.
Suddenly, Shen Ruofei was greatly disappointed. There were nothing but agricultural products and some handmade toys for children to play with. There was not a single thing for girls.
Maybe there is, just not here.
This kind of market sells some wooden combs and handkerchiefs, but there are not many of them, and food is more common.
Yi Xiaoqiu took Shen Ruofei to look around all the way. As for stopping to buy, sorry, it's a bit difficult. If you walk a little slower, people behind you will start to urge you.
Yi Xiaoqiu was sweating all over, and Shen Ruofei was a little surprised to see her take off her scarf.
"Xiao Qiu, what are you doing? It's so cold, why did you take off your scarf?"
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at Chen Ruofei in surprise, "How can you be cold with so many people jostling around? I'm still hot!"
Shen Ruofei touched her arm and asked, “Why am I not hot?”
"I'm pulling you, are you exerting any strength?" Yi Xiaoqiu rolled his eyes.
"That's right! Xiao Qiu, there's always someone squeezing me from behind. Let's change seats!"
Yi Xiaoqiu pulled Shen Ruofei, and the two quickly changed positions.
Shen Ruofei felt as if her clothes were pulled from behind, but she didn't pay attention because there were many people around.
After walking all the way, Yi Xiaoqiu was a little impatient with the crowding. "Let's go back after we leave Xi City! I feel like I've been marinated."
Yi Xiaoqiu now wished she could go back immediately to wash her hair and take a shower.
It’s okay if you meet young people, but especially those older uncles and aunts, they smell so bad!
There's really no way for people to survive!
"Okay!" Shen Ruofei was also very disappointed. She was dressed so beautifully, it was really blinding.
Shen Ruofei looked at the cotton coat that was squeezed like pickles on her body, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She doesn’t know yet that even more ridiculous things are yet to come!
The two squeezed their way through and finally got out of the crowd.
A few shifty-looking people behind them looked at each other and squeezed back into the crowd.
Shen Ruofei came out of the crowd and immediately shivered with cold.
Yi Xiaoqiu walked out of the crowd and she felt that she was finally alive.
She took a deep breath, but before she could exhale, Shen Ruofei screamed.
"Ah! My clothes." Shen Ruofei reached behind her back and took out a handful of cotton. Her face looked like she was about to cry.
"This is..." Yi Xiaoqiu hurriedly ran behind her to take a look.
Oh my goodness!
The cotton coat on Shen Ruofei looked fine in front, but the back was hollowed out, and the outer layer of cloth was also removed, leaving only the inner layer of cloth, and the cotton was gone.
This thief is too awesome! No wonder Shen Ruofei said she felt cold in the crowd.
"Puchi!" Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha... let's see if you're still showing off?"
I don’t know when her clothes were cut. No wonder she didn’t sweat even though she was squeezed in the crowd.
"You're still laughing! I'm freezing to death!" Shen Ruofei stomped her feet. It happened that the piece of cotton on the back of her vest was gone. She felt really cold and her heart was flying.
She thought that if she didn't carry any money with her, she wouldn't be targeted by thieves. However, she didn't expect that those thieves would even steal the cotton from her cotton-padded jacket. It was too much!
At this time, Gu Zhiqing and Lu Rongrong, who had never met before, appeared out from nowhere.
The clothes of both of them were wrinkled.
When they looked up, they saw Shen Ruofei's miserable appearance, "Shen Zhiqing, how did you do this..."
Lu Rongrong looked at Shen Ruofei's back with a look of disbelief.
"It was stolen by a thief." Shen Ruofei rubbed her arms.
Yi Xiaoqiu took off his old coat and put it on Shen Ruofei. "Let's make do with it. Let's go back quickly. As for the thief, forget about it. With so many people, where can we find him?"
Shen Ruofei buttoned up her old cotton-padded jacket with a depressed look on her face, and looked at the small jacket on Yi Xiaoqiu. "Are you cold wearing so little?"
"Not as cold as you."
"Oh my God! This thief is so evil! How could he cut someone's clothes!" Lu Rongrong was furious when she saw the big cut on her back.
"Please check if you are missing anything!" Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help but remind her when she saw her silly and sweet look.
Lu Rongrong quickly felt in her pocket and then she screamed, "Ah! There's a hole in my pocket and the money inside is gone!"
As she spoke, Lu Rongrong smiled and patted her chest. "Luckily, I only have fifty cents left on me. The rest is with Brother Chengfeng. Brother Chengfeng, can you see if the money is still there?"
Lu Rongrong was about to search Gu Chengfeng's pocket before she could finish her words.
Gu Chengfeng made way for me and said, "Don't worry, the money is in my pocket. It hasn't been stolen."
Men's clothes have pockets on the chest, so if you put your clothes there, the chance of them being stolen is very low.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the two people's behavior and felt that their relationship was much closer than before.
"We are planning to go back. Do you still want to go shopping?" Yi Xiaoqiu saw that Shen Ruofei's face was starting to turn cold, and he didn't want to delay any longer.
Her old cotton-padded jacket was not warm at all, and Shen Ruofei was like wearing no cotton-padded jacket at all. She would definitely not be able to bear it if she only wore it.
She was only wearing a small jacket. Although it was a bit cold, it was new after all, much better than Shen Ruofei's.
Yi Xiaoqiu was asked to take off his new cotton-padded jacket and exchange it with Shen Ruofei. Yi Xiaoqiu felt that he was not that selfless.
Love yourself first, then love others.
If she does this, people will just think she is stupid!
"Let's go back too! I just seemed to see our company's ox cart over there." Gu Zhiqing was tall, and when he looked up he saw the old man driving the cart towards him.
Four people got on the carriage, and the old man wanted to take two more people, so the carriage could only carry six people.
Chen Ruofei couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uncle Liu, I'll give you extra money for two people's fare. Don't wait any longer, let's go back quickly!"
How could Old Man Liu not be happy? With two fewer people riding, the horse could save some energy, and he could still make money.
In the carriage, Lu Rongrong asked with a smile how Shen Ruofei was stolen.
"It's just that people squeezed together and it was squeezed away!" Shen Ruofei didn't want to say it. She still didn't understand when her clothes were cut.
"Little girl, what was stolen again?" Old man Liu couldn't help but become curious after listening to what they said.
Lu Rongrong quickly told Shen Ruofei what had happened.
Old Man Liu shook his head repeatedly when he heard this. "These thieves are so wicked! Without cotton-padded clothes, people will freeze to death. How wicked!"
Old man Liu scolded the thief, and Shen Ruofei felt better.
"Girl, please squeeze in and I'll drive the carriage faster so you can go back to the house and feel warm." Old man Liu said as he flicked the whip and the carriage went much faster.
Shen Ruofei hugged Yi Xiaoqiu tightly, covered her face with her scarf and thanked Old Man Liu, "Thank you, Uncle Liu!"
After being thanked, Old Man Liu became more cheerful. He was no longer afraid of the cold and started talking about old times with the educated youth in the car.
"You kids really don't have much experience. It's the end of the year now, and many families don't have money for the New Year, so thieves appear in droves. Otherwise, why didn't anyone warn you when you stole all the way? You better be careful when you go out next time! You can't waste your nice clothes like this... Sigh... I'm getting old and confused. I didn't even remember to warn you when I sent you here just now..."
Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at Shen Ruofei meaningfully.
Shen Ruofei blushed, "Uncle Liu, I appreciate your kindness."
