Chapter 493 Pedestrian Street

A few Maomao have already left the team and gone off on their own.

Xiaobao looked at their backs with envy. Shui Xiaomao comforted him: "I'm still with you, don't worry."

He also tiptoed close to Xiaobao's ear and whispered: "Grandpa will come today too. They must have gone to find grandpa. We don't have to worry about where to eat at noon!"

Well, seeing as the sun was getting more and more dazzling, it was right for them to leave.

Hearing that there was no need to worry about lunch, and Shui Mao Mao was with him, Xiao Bao went shopping more confidently. However, Shui Xiao Mao's straw hat was touched by children from time to time, so he kept grabbing the brim of the hat with his hands.

In fact, he was a little worried about bringing so many children out. There were so many people on the street, and he wouldn't be able to explain to the parents if there was a stampede.

Since Shui Mao Mao can come, naturally there are people following him, so it is better to watch the children.

As the crowd slowly marched down the street, after passing this section of stalls selling food, there were stalls selling gadgets in front of them.

Anyone who can come out to occupy a position to set up a stall is sent by each shop.

Ordinary people are not willing to pay this stall fee, especially today's fee is 20% higher than usual.

But the benefits of setting up a stall are also obvious.

There are many people today, whether they are wealthy families or poor people from the countryside, whether they are rich ladies or old men from poor families, they all come out to celebrate the festival.

The ladies from the boudoir who usually go out in carriages or sedans and resolutely not show up are also followed by a group of girls and mothers-in-law who come out to walk around and have a look.

Of course, today's streets have completely turned into "pedestrian streets", and there are many people. For safety reasons, the government does not allow carriages, sedans, etc. to enter.

Not to mention that the women who usually rolled up their arms and sleeves to do farm work like men also put on clean and tidy clothes. Some even wore the only pair of silver bracelets they got when they got married, just to have fun.

Have a happy holiday.

The more people there are, the more people spend money. Every stall is crowded with people, and business is good.

The thieves also came out to celebrate the festival.

Whenever there are stalls, you can always see one or two thieves, pretending to be squeezing forward to buy something, and steal the wallets of people around them.

Xiaobao also felt that several eyes were wandering towards the red dragonfly above his head, obviously trying to set his sights.

It's just that there are many people around him, so it's hard for thieves to squeeze in.

The most sensitive ones were the dozen or so "May 5th" people who came out. They would go out one by one without any sound, and then return to the group after a while.

Soon, Xiaobao heard a voice: "Where is my wallet?"

Following the sound, he saw a person whom Xiaobao suspected of being a thief. He was groping around, holding on to the remaining half of the purse string on his belt with one hand, and searching his arms with the other hand.

Then Xiaobao saw the "May 5" people secretly winking at each other.

Alas, whether to steal or not is a matter of attitude, and whether to steal or not is a matter of level.

These "May 5" people have high standards but poor attitudes!

"Mom, there are too many people, let's go home."

A crisp voice came, not far from Xiaobao.

Meng Yueyue saw more and more people on the street, and she really didn't want to be crowded with the crowd, so she said to her mother.

Ms. Li stood on tiptoe, looked around, and persuaded her daughter: "There are so many people and it's so lively!"

Look at the front, the direction of the crowd is towards 'Pinxiang Pavilion'. Yesterday I heard from your father that the government is setting up a stage in front of Pinxiang Pavilion and has invited the Nan Opera Troupe.

Your father also said that the girls from Pinxiang Pavilion will also be on stage today, and the ‘Tuozhi Dance’ that is not usually seen can be seen today.”

But Meng Yueyue was not very interested.

Who knows that his own father will marry him off in exchange for benefits, so his emotions won't be high, right?

Hearing the girl's voice, Xiaobao's team instantly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and stood closer together.

Along the way just now, there were some married women among them, so even if they bumped into each other a little bit, it wouldn't be a problem.

But it's different for girls about my own age.

Xiaobao felt that both of his feet were off the ground, as if he was "floating" these few steps.

I really can't stand them!

There are still guards in the fourth circle, so you can't touch them at all, okay? Are you so nervous? Ah?

Unable to bear it, Xiaobao decided to leave them!

If I squeeze further, everything I just ate will come out of my throat.

Gan Lai finally discovered his "conscience" and pulled Xiaobao to his side. Xiaobao suddenly felt that the air was fresh.

It wasn't easy either, the sweat on her face flowed into her beard, and Xiaobao was worried that her beard would unglue again.

Also, when I came to drink a cold drink just now, there was sweet water stuck to my beard, and there were strands of it, which made me anxious and wanted to get a comb.

"Mom, I still want to go home." Meng Yueyue said.

The little girl was dripping with sweat, and her bangs stuck to her forehead.

On hot days, women usually wear gauze double-breasted clothes with a tube top that goes as low as an inch below the collarbone.

Meng Yueyue was also dressed like this. At this time, her sweat was dripping down her temples and onto her collarbone.

And there were so many people around, and most of them were men smelling of sweat, with bare arms and only wearing backpacks, which made her not want to stay for a long time.

So Meng Yueyue said firmly: "Mom, let's go back!"

Mrs. Li originally wanted to take her daughter out to relax, but seeing that the environment was really not good at the moment, she gave up.

But it's not easy to turn around. Some people in the crowd have already begun to say: "Someone is coming out over there. The old bustards from Pinxiang Pavilion are coming out to start a fight!"

As a result, people became even more crowded and the speed of traveling in that direction became faster.

In this way, she also wanted to protect her daughter from being touched, and she also had to prevent herself from coming into contact with others. Ms. Li also started to panic.

Not far away from them, Meng Yong's follower Lei Xiaopao saw it and quickly got into the teahouse behind him to report to his master: "Master, the eldest lady seems to be leaving. That young master Chu is almost approaching her. What should I do?"

As long as he was not at home, Lei Xiaopao would lovingly call Meng Yong his master and Meng Yueyue his eldest daughter to satisfy Meng Yong's desire to "be independent."

Meng Yong rolled his eyes: "Go ahead! Wrestle the eldest lady, but stay far away and don't let anyone see you!"

Lei Xiaopao: "Yes!"

Lei Xiaopao is very good at concealed weapons. He can eject any object, even a date stone, into an earthen wall about ten feet away and embed it in it.

Meng Yong's idea was nothing new. Lei Xiaopao had planned to do it, but it would hurt the eldest lady after all, so he always had to ask the master what he meant.

Now that Meng Yong has given the order, Lei Xiaopao will naturally have no worries anymore.

He scurried to the back of the stall, pretending that the straps on his legs were loose and wanted to retie them. He squatted down and found Meng Yueyue's position in the gap between people's legs, and a pebble bounced out.

"Ah!" Meng Yueyue felt a stabbing pain in the popliteal fossa of his right leg, and his knees fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Li hurriedly went to help her, but the two of them just turned around and were in the opposite direction of the flow of people. When she leaned forward to help her daughter, she was bumped into her daughter instead.

"Ouch!" Ms. Li exclaimed and fell to the ground along with her daughter.

The two of them fell together with great force. It happened that the person next to them pushed forward anxiously, so they pushed Xiaobao in front of Meng Yueyue.

Meng Yueyue was hit by her mother and fell straight towards Xiaobao.
