two ears pricked up

The streets and lanes are all paved with blue stones. Due to the rain last night, the stone slabs are wet, giving off a dim light, and there are layers of moss on the edges, and occasionally a small flower protrudes from it.

The business peddlers lead the donkeys and push the carts through the streets and alleys, looking for an eye-catching place to set up a stall, and watch the people coming and going. Opposite them, there is an old man selling candies, The old man stepped on the sugar machine and buzzed, and soon, the sweet scent flowed in the alley, attracting the attention of the children. The children ran into the alley, not as tall as the waist, short and small carrot heads Whispering around the old man, they took out the penny they got from their mother, and waited in line for the old man to pack the candies one by one.

Huo Zheng saw that Bai Xi's gaze was on the opposite side, and when the group of children ran away licking the candy, he went to the old man's stall and bought a bunch of candy.

Bai Xi's eyes lit up, he took the candy and carefully licked it, the candy melted on the tip of his tongue, very sweet and greasy.

He handed the candy to Huo Zheng's mouth, but Huo Zheng avoided it and let him eat it by himself.

With the opening of the episode today, more and more people went out to parade.

There are groups of scholars who sing poems while walking with their fans shaking their heads, there are suave sons riding on horses, and there are some unrestrained young girls from small families. There are more tourists, and the peddlers are shouting with their necks up, what? Those who sell gongs and drums, those who sell porcelain vases, those who sell poultry throw bamboo rings in exchange for small things...

The goods that Huo Zheng brought were really not outstanding compared to those sold by other vendors, they were just farm tools made by himself.

Huo Zheng's goods were not outstanding, but he was surrounded by an outstanding person.

Many tourists stopped by, but very few people parked at their stall. Bai Xiwo could see clearly from inside the carriage that everyone only bought other vendors and not Huo Zheng's goods, which made him anxious. Huo Zheng was neither arrogant nor impetuous. When someone asked him, he would not try his best to yell and exaggerate things like other hawkers. He just reported the price and purpose of the goods in a rigid manner. .

"Oh!" Bai Xi saw that the tourist who had finally stayed for a while left, his buttocks were moving, and he couldn't sit still, so he rushed out of the carriage. When Huo Zheng turned his head, he saw Bai Xi grabbing his sleeve , Said: "Buy it, buy it, it's... made by myself, it's very strong!"

The tourist was originally unhappy when he was caught, but after seeing Bai Xi's appearance clearly, he let out a hey sound, turned his head to look at Huo Zheng's booth, and asked Bai Xi: "Is this your booth?"

"Yup!"

The tourists went back to the stall and picked out a few agricultural tools, which were cheap and of good quality, so they were worth buying. The tourists took out their wallets and handed the money to Bai Xi.

People who come out to parade are just looking for fun, even if it's just because of a product or a person passing by.

Bai Xi is pleasing to the eye, he can't stop talking, and those watery apricot eyes are eagerly looking at people, so attractive, it is easy to make the other party compromise.

After selling the first farm tool, Bai Xi slowly figured it out, but Huo Zheng didn't allow him to come out to be seen, Bai Xi helped earn money, and at this moment, it was rare for Bai Xi to become stubborn, refusing to go back to the carriage and worry about it .

Afterwards, Huo Zheng had nothing to do with him, Bai Xi used both soft and hard tactics, Huo Zheng couldn't resist, Bai Xi took advantage of his expression loosened, and ran to the stall to imitate the hawkers nearby, his voice was much more beautiful than other hawkers It was soft and bright, and it quickly attracted the attention of tourists. After searching for the source of the sound, they gradually gathered around the stall to see the white goods.

The small stall was crowded with tourists, so many eyes fell on Bai Xi, his heart was pounding, he was stubbornly selling goods a moment ago, now he timidly hid behind Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng: "..."

A tourist said with a smile: "Little lady, do you sell goods? You call everyone to yourself but hide yourself. What's the trouble?"

The crowd around laughed, Huo Zheng darkened his face, and planned to let Bai Xi go back to the carriage to avoid it, but Huo Zheng was there, guarding him like a god, so the tourists dared not laugh openly.

Most of the vendors who come out to set up the street are elderly people or young men. Except for some women who sell flowers, it is rare to see a daughter's family come out to set up the street, let alone such a beautiful girl. Street.

Everyone was bored seeing Bai Xi hiding. Several people asked the price of the goods and hesitated to buy them. They hesitated. Bai Xi poked his eyes out from behind Huo Zheng, "Buy it, it's very good."

Huo Zheng asked him to go back to the carriage, and Bai carefully saw that the tourists didn't agree to buy the goods. He was so anxious that he couldn't care about other things, he stood up from behind Huo Zheng, and said to everyone, buy it, it's very good and strong, he doesn't have the praise of other vendors. The ability is extravagant, but the things that come out of Huo Zheng's hands must be very good.

An incredible thing happened. When tourists really bought their goods, one by one slowly, within half a day, all the goods were sold by Bai Xi. He was clumsy in speech, but his eyes could speak, so he was more rigid and boring. Huo Zheng is much stronger.

After the tourists were all astigmatized, Bai counted the money in his hands in great excitement, and presented it in front of Huo Zheng, smiling from ear to ear, showing two neat rows of small white teeth, "Zhengzheng, all of these are for you."

With a complicated mind, Huo Zheng put all the money away and put it in the purse, keeping it for Bai Xi. He pulled up the carriage and saw that it was not too late, and it was Bai Xi's first time entering the city, so he planned to take him in Yucheng. Walk around and buy him something.

There are good things in the city, just like the tourists just now who are attracted to the stall because of Bai Xi's appearance, but they don't want to make rude and rude noises, and leave after shopping.

It is human nature to look at people's faces, and everyone has a love for beauty. This is the reason why, although the tourists did not overdo things to Bai Xi, they also taught Huo Zheng to feel guilty towards Bai Xi.

With money, it can be regarded as a solution to the immediate urgent need.Bai Xi was lying in the carriage eating the snacks that Huo Zheng bought for him, they rushed to the rice store to buy some rice, and then went to other places to look.

The carriage drove slowly among the crowd, and after a burst of noise, there was a sudden disturbance ahead. Huo Zheng worried that the horse would be frightened and jolt into Bai Xi inside the car, so he pulled the car to the side of the road and temporarily parked it. Bai Xi lay on the window and listened. Someone outside shouted to catch the thief.

There were a lot of tourists, the little thief knocked over the stall and ran with difficulty, buried his head in the crowd, the crowd who was knocked away cursed, the passers-by wanted to do something brave, but they were powerless to hinder the crowd, the little thief happened to run past the carriage, Huo Zheng saw this , Without even frowning, he quickly stretched out his hand and pinched the little thief's shoulder precisely, with increased strength, he knocked the little thief to the ground with one hand, and stepped on the other's shoulder with one foot, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't shake it.

The tourists around applauded and applauded, saying that they would take the little thief to the official.

The owner who was stolen caught up and took back his own things from the thief.After the yamen patrolling the street came to escort the little thief away, Huo Zheng led the carriage and continued walking, and the master behind him chased him up.

Bai Xi poked his head out and looked back, reminding Huo Zheng.

"Thank you to the strong man for catching the thief. The strong man is very skillful. I don't know if I can show my face and move forward. I will host a banquet and treat you two well."

The old man with a white beard is dressed in extraordinary clothes, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.Huo Zheng kept his brows downcast, and looked at the other party with his white eyes rolling around. The old man smiled at him, "Madam is very good-looking, you are lucky."

The old man mistook Bai Xi for Huo Zheng's wife, Huo Zheng frowned and coldly rejected his invitation.

The old man didn't know that his wrong sentence made the kind-hearted strong man change his face, he smiled and didn't care at all, "I owe the strong man a favor, if you need to use the old man afterwards, you can come to the promotion hall to find me. "

Huo Zheng didn't deny it, took the horse rope and left, Bai Xi leaned out of the car and said to Huo Zheng: "He is a good man."

Huo Zheng said a word, and after leaving the city, he drove the carriage back. As the night was getting dark, Bai Xi took a coat from the package and put it on, then found another one, opened the curtain and quietly covered Huo Zheng. .

Gentle fingers touched his neck, and Huo Zheng shook his hand, almost driving the carriage into a ravine.
