Chapter 13 The Little Girl Selling Flowers (Newbie, please read and collect)

What came into view was a small silk and satin shop.

Li Cheng first put the large and small parcels he was carrying on the hired donkey cart nearby.

Immediately afterwards, he subconsciously took Xiang Yi's delicate wrist and trotted into the shop diagonally opposite.

Feeling the warmth of the other person's fingertips, the girl's eyes were filled with confusion.

Logically speaking, she should break away immediately.

But for some reason, she chose to just let the other person hold her hand.

In addition, at this moment, she suddenly felt that her heartbeat was so fast.

The two of them stood in front of the counter filled with various kinds of silks and satins.

Li Cheng let go of his hand, picked up the crimson hair tie he had just seen, and made a few simple gestures to Xiang Yi.

Then, he turned to look at the shop owner:

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this hair tie?"

"Guest officer, this is the best material shipped from the south. There is no other one. It only costs [-] copper coins."

The fat shopkeeper smiled and raised his fingers and replied, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

When Xiang Yi heard 'three hundred coins', he immediately came back to his senses.

She quickly wanted to refuse out loud, but Li Cheng beat her to it:
"One hundred coins, if you sell it, I will take it. If you don't sell it, forget it."

The shopkeeper's expression was hesitant: "A hundred yuan? This is really a bit...

Eh!Don't go, forget it, just a hundred cents. "

The shopkeeper quickly caught up with the two people who had just walked out of the store, thrust the hair tie into Li Cheng's hand, and exchanged it for a piece of silver.

Walking side by side a few steps away from the silk shop, Xiang Yi stopped and looked curiously at Li Cheng beside him:

"How are you sure he will sell you?"

Li Cheng shook his head and explained casually: "I'm not sure.

However, I know that in Jiangning City, this headband can be sold for up to thirty cents. "

When Xiang Yi heard this, he made a pretty face, and then slowly uttered two words:
"Trickster."

Hearing this, Li Cheng smiled noncommittally.

As the saying goes, it's too early to get nothing.

Transporting goods from the distant land south of the Yangtze River to this small town in the north, the profit of ten times is acceptable.

Li Cheng moved his position and quietly stood behind Xiang Yi.

Looking at the jet-black waist-high ponytail in front of him, he very carefully tied the crimson hairband wrapped around his hand behind the other person's head.

A big bow that was more beautiful than the sunset appeared immediately.

Li Cheng nodded slightly and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

After noticing that the opponent's hand had stopped, Xiang Yi suddenly turned around, his plain white clothes and long black hair swaying at the same time:
"You... didn't mess with it, did you?"

Li Cheng:......

He really wanted to correct him. Most of the time, this character was pronounced xì!

"Of course not," Li Cheng replied with admiration in his eyes:

"I made you a nice bow, and the color of the hairband matches you very well."

"Oh." Xiang Yi nodded slightly, but didn't pay much attention.

Different from the daughters of other aristocratic families.

She doesn't like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or embroidery. She's also not interested in gorgeous clothes, rouge, and gouache.

To her, tying a bow on the back of her head meant nothing.

but……

Since the other person said it looks good, it doesn't matter if she just wears it like this.

"Thank you." She said in a calm voice.

"You're welcome, as long as you like it."

The two walked side by side towards the loaded donkey cart.

Looking at the lively scene around him, Li Cheng inadvertently glanced at the girl's flawless face.

With a thought in his mind, he was about to reach out and tuck a strand of black hair from the other party's temple behind his ear.

But at the same time, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Brother, buy a flower for this fairy sister."

Hearing this, Xiang Yi turned his head and saw Li Cheng's right hand hanging in the air, giving him a confused look.

But then, she knelt down in front of the little girl and asked in a calm tone:
"Little sister, how much does one cost for you?"

Li Cheng put down his right hand calmly, as if nothing happened just now.

Hearing Xiang Yi's question, he immediately knelt down and squatted on the ground.

There was no way, compared to the little girl selling flowers in front of them, the two of them were too tall.

According to previous life standards, Li Cheng is about 1.8 meters tall, and Xiang Yi is about 1.7 meters tall.

The little girl in front of them was less than 1.4 meters tall at most.

"Sister, it's ten cents each. If you like it, buy one."

The little girl's voice was timid, which made people feel a bit pity.

Li Cheng glanced at the chrysanthemums blooming in clusters in the other party's flower basket, and was speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, this chrysanthemum is purple-red instead of yellow.

But Xiang Yi's attention was not on the beautiful purple chrysanthemums.

Her eyes darkened, and she reached out to hold the little girl's bony wrist.

He gently rolled up the opponent's coarse cloth sleeve, and a shocking scar was exposed to the air.

When Li Cheng saw this, he was also keenly aware that there were several eyes around him that were firmly locked on the little girl.

In an instant, he suddenly understood something.

Sure enough, there is nothing new under the sun.

Li Cheng was silent for a moment, and then asked the little girl:
"Little sister, are you willing to go with your brothers and sisters?"

When the little girl heard this, her empty eyes suddenly flashed with light.

But when she thought of something, her eyes immediately dimmed again:

"My sister and mother are still waiting for me at home. I can't leave with you."

"What about your father?" Li Cheng asked subconsciously.

"Daddy? Wan'er...no daddy."

After hearing this answer, Li Cheng suddenly understood.

I'm afraid that the mother the little girl talks about is not her biological mother.

Li Cheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then slowly stood up.

As a time traveler, Li Cheng has a conscience and cannot do anything to bully the weak.

But this does not mean that he will be overflowing with sympathy.

There are too many miserable people in this world, and he cannot save them.

Since the other party is unwilling to leave with him, Li Cheng also respects his decision.

Xiang Yi, who was still squatting on the ground, after a long silence, raised his pretty face covered with white gauze and asked Li Cheng:

"Can I… borrow some more money?"

Hearing this, Li Cheng took out two taels of silver from his arms without hesitation and put it gently into the little girl's palm.

Then, he raised his eyes thoughtfully and looked at a man not far away who was staring at him closely.

Li Cheng picked off a purple chrysanthemum and flicked it out seemingly casually.

Swish!
The petals wrapped around the air, turned into a stream of light, and suddenly exploded in front of the man, raising a large cloud of dust.

The man who was choking and coughing suddenly fell to the ground.

He was coughing and just about to subconsciously raise his head and curse a few words, but suddenly he fell silent and broke into a cold sweat.

Because in front of him, a pit the size of a watermelon suddenly appeared.

This scene caused the nearby spectators to avoid it.

Li Cheng lowered his head calmly and looked at the little girl again.

He was very sure that she must have taken it all in her eyes just now.

But the little girl looked at Li Cheng quietly, shook her head, and said thank you silently.

Seeing this, Li Cheng turned around and took a deep look at the trembling man.

And the opponent's pupils were instantly filled with ink -

The secret technique of the ancient demonic religion, gazing into the abyss.

This is a little trick that Li Cheng accidentally learned in the Kunlun Secret Realm.

It only works for ordinary people, and the effects vary from person to person.

It will make those who are stared at feel a sense of fear.

As long as the other person is still a normal person and is intimidated by this, he will definitely not dare to hurt the little girl again.

Because he couldn't guarantee it, Li Cheng also hid some other means.

Little people also have their own unique wisdom for survival.

How come there are so many brave little Karami who are not afraid of death?

This can be regarded as Li Cheng's kindness to the little girl.

He reached out to pick up the flower basket on the ground and saw Xiang Yi holding the little girl's hands tightly.

After a while, she slowly stood up and looked at Li Cheng beside her:

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

Li Cheng and Xiang Yi walked side by side to the donkey cart.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at the original place.

When looking at the little girl's thin back in the autumn wind, Li Cheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be some changes in the other person.

There was a change that he couldn't describe, couldn't explain, but was somewhat familiar.
