Tsing Yi Dance: Apricot Blossom Sky Shadow

Some people are sweet and others are hard. Although the sun at noon in early spring is not too harsh, the spring breeze is somewhat hurtful, and it still carries the chill of the lingering winter.

Mo Ling, who hadn't eaten for two days, was wandering in the street, shivering, dizzy from hunger.

Thinking that his only jade pendant was cheated away last night, Mo Ling pouted and felt sore, feeling wronged for a while.

After leaving the steamed stuffed bun shop last night, Mo Ling panicked and didn't know where he had gone. When he realized it, the streets around him were already full of lights, very lively.

Thinking that his wife in the bun shop wanted money for him, and when he left Caijiazhuang, Tian Bo said that he could use the jade pendant for emergency. Mo Ling, who couldn't understand these things, hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage and decided to ask someone what money is.

So, when Mo Ling passed by a casino, he met a man who was not much older than him and went to greet him.

Because the sky was already dark, Mo Ling was impatient and didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, so he opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, Uncle, may I ask..."

"Am I very old?

The man seemed to be in a bad mood, and glared at Mo Ling fiercely, impatiently.

Mo Ling shrank her neck in fright, and just about to give up and find someone else to ask again, that person shouted again: "Hey! Brat, what's the matter with you? Do you have any money, lend me some!"

Said it was a loan, the man obviously had the foreshadowing of a robbery, the timid Mo Ling shook his head timidly, "I, I don't have any money, uncle, brother, do you know what money is?"

Mo Ling, who finally asked the question, breathed a sigh of relief, and raised it again. The man looked him up and down like a fool.

"Where are you entertaining me, kid? What is money? Come on, tell me, what is money!"

Mo Ling shook his head in fear and stepped back.His big fluttering eyes had mist, and he felt a little regretful at this moment, regretting that he shouldn't be curious about the outside world.

Although the outside world is colorful and full of novel magic, but now, at least for a second, Mo Ling regrets it, because he doesn't know what money is, and why does he need anything to fill his stomach? money.

More importantly, he thought that everyone was as kind and gentle as Brother Tsing Yi, Uncle Tian, ​​and Granny Tian, ​​but the people in front of him were just the opposite, which made him feel like he wanted to run away.

"I tell you! Money is silver! Silver is a good thing that can be eaten everywhere!"

As he said that, the man glanced at the jade pendant on Mo Ling's waist, chuckled, and continued: "For example, the jade pendant on your waist should be able to exchange a lot of money."

After finishing speaking, greedy eyes appeared in his eyes, and his hands involuntarily stretched towards Mo Ling's waist.

Hearing that the other party said that his jade pendant should be able to exchange for a lot of money called silver, Mo Ling was overjoyed and forgot to be afraid, took off the jade pendant around his waist and said, "Then where can I turn the jade pendant into silver?" ?”

The man once again looked at Mo Ling like a fool. After a long time, he found that Mo Ling really didn't know what money was, and how to exchange things at a pawnshop.With joy in my heart, I said that my good luck has finally come.

Changing his vicious look just now, he patted Mo Ling's shoulder with a smile, and said, "Little brother~ Do you think this is good? Since you don't know how to change money, can I change it for you? I don't think you are The locals are also very tired, you can sit here and wait for me."

Mo Ling immediately nodded happily, thinking to himself why he misunderstood this brother just now.

After a day's journey, Mo Ling was already tired and light-headed, and his chest was tight, so he handed the jade pendant to the other party, and sat at the door of the gambling house to wait.

Unexpectedly, after the man left, Mo Ling sat at the door of the gambling house, hungry and tired, and fell asleep in a daze. It was already the third watch when he woke up from the cold.

The gambling house behind him lost its initial noise, and the whole street became quiet.

It took a long time for Mo Ling to remember that before he fell asleep, he asked others to exchange the jade pendant for him.He hurriedly stood up and looked around for the figure of that person.

The street under the dim lights was quiet and there was no one there. Occasionally, one or two dogs barking could be heard and echoed far away.

what happened?Why hasn't that brother come back after so long?Could it be that the place where you can exchange money is far away?Or is his jade pendant not good, and people are unwilling to change it for him?

Mo Ling, who had problems with his head, wandered around the street with his arms folded, because he was afraid that the elder brother would not find him, and he dared not go too far from the agreed place.

It was really too cold for me, so I ran to the place where there was a string of lanterns hanging by the door, almost hanging to the ground, and hugged the lanterns to keep warm for a while.

The whole night was spent like this by Mo Ling stamping his feet and rubbing his hands. Mo Ling didn't realize that it was dawn until the dawn of the golden rooster broke.

In a daze, he stared blankly at the gradually crowded street, and he realized that that brother seemed not to be coming back.

Unconsciously, Mo Ling staggered forward for an unknown amount of time. Mo Ling saw a person suddenly appearing on the ground not far in front of him, which shocked him greatly.

Shaking his head, the scare sobered him up a lot.Immediately afterwards, he saw that the person who emerged from the ground actually climbed up from a cellar, holding a lot of vegetables stored below.

"Uncle, why did you put the vegetables under the ground?"

Mo Ling, whose stomach was rumbling with hunger, was still full of curiosity about these strange actions in his eyes, and asked while resisting his strong dizziness.

The person who crawled out of the cellar glanced at Mo Ling's attire and didn't want to answer, thinking that this was simply a fool of the poor people by the rich kids.

But seeing Mo Ling's seriousness and cute appearance, he just said it.

"What else can I do? This poor family has its own way of life. Before winter, save some vegetables. You can keep them for yourself, and you can also take them to the market for some pocket money."

After finishing speaking, the vegetable farmer packed his own vegetable baskets and loaded them onto the donkey cart next to him. When Mo Ling heard that these vegetables could also be exchanged for money, his eyes stared like gold stars, and he didn't know whether he was hungry or happy.

Seeing that the vegetable farmer hadn't covered the entrance of the cellar, Mo Ling walked to the side and looked down. The dark hole could not see the situation below clearly, only a little bit could be seen near the hole.

Swallowing, Mo Ling bravely climbed down the short ladder, and only when he got down to the bottom did Mo Ling realize that the inside was not as dark as he had imagined, there were light coming in from several ventilating openings, and the whole cellar could Barely see things.

Mo Ling carried a cabbage nearby and climbed up the short ladder. As soon as he climbed up, he saw the vegetable farmer standing on top and glaring at him angrily.
