A white figure was hidden behind a carved red sandalwood screen, leaving behind the shadow of the tassels and jade ornaments on its shoulders. The slender figure was definitely not the little white candle, so Yan Yan quickly chased after him.
"noob?"
Behind the screen, Xiao Baizhu was wearing a plain white robe, with the wide sleeves and hem folded upward.
Yan Yao stepped forward and held Xiao Bai Zhu in his arms, folding his sleeves two or three times.
"Have you seen a man?" Yan Yan thought for a moment, "or a woman, dressed in white, much taller than me." She stretched out her hand and gestured.
Xiao Bai Zhu shook her head, "The only women in Wuchang Palace are you and Xu Niang."
"Is it possible that my eyesight is dazzled?" Yan Yan murmured to himself.
"Maybe you are just dazzled." Xiao Baizhu's face was expressionless.
He actually recognized him as a woman.
On the outskirts of the Imperial City, there are several families living on the hillside covered with maple leaves.
At this time, Yan Yan and Xiao Bai Zhu were in the maple forest, one black and one white, one large and one small, particularly conspicuous.
"Mom, why do you think Jinbao's temperament has changed?"
A mother and her son were walking in the distance, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs. When they passed by Yan Yan and the two, the child kept staring. Yan Yan became mischievous, raised his eyelids and made a face.
The child was not frightened. He objected to Yan Yan and stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran to his mother.
Whenever the maple leaves turn red on Maple Leaf Hillside, there are always young ladies from the Imperial City family coming to enjoy the scenery.
Not only did the mother and son carrying bamboo baskets pass by the two of them, there were also tourists going up the mountain. In comparison, they saw that the two of them looked like ordinary people.
Yan Yan just took Xiao Baizhu for a walk on the hillside as if he was enjoying the scenery.
As the saying goes, "the flowers gradually become more enchanting," Yan Yan was mesmerized by the layers of maple trees.
"This is the road we just took." Xiao Bai Zhu pointed to a road.
Yan Yan turned around a few times suspiciously and found that every road was still the same length.
"I followed the path you pointed out, but I still didn't go out."
"You went astray. There was a fork in the road just now."
"Then what should we do now? We have gone astray, and the road you are talking about is not the one we just walked."
Little White Candle was silent.
"What's wrong with the two young men?" A kind-hearted old woman came to them with a cane.
"I'm lost. I don't know how to give directions, so I insist on giving them."
"You went astray. You still don't believe me when I say you went astray."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've already walked several miles away."
"You didn't listen..."
"Okay, okay, two young men, I live on Fenglin Slope and I am very familiar with this area. Why don't I take you down there." The old woman walked tremblingly.
Yan Yan went up to help you, "Thank you, old man, I'll help you."
“The scenery of Maple Grove is so beautiful, I will definitely enjoy living here.”
"Oh, girl, you are right. Living in Fenglin Village is different. Especially at night, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves is so nice." The old woman smiled, the wrinkles on her face folding together.
"Really?" Yan Yan said happily, but then he looked dejected, "It's a pity that we won't be able to get home if we go back at night."
There was a smile in the old woman's eyes that was deeper than Yan Yan's, "If you don't mind it, girl, why don't you come to the old man's house to stay for one night?"
Yan Yan was overjoyed, but then hesitated, "Isn't that good? It's too troublesome for you, old man."
"No trouble, no trouble, just don't dislike it, girl." The old woman smiled happier in her heart than on her face.
Sure enough, this spoiled girl is best cheated.
Seeing that the old woman had been fooled, Yan Yan glanced at the little white candle with pride.
At first, Yan Yan said that he would pretend to be lost on the road that the old woman must pass, and then show that he wanted to see the maple forest at night.
Xiao Baizhu felt that the plan was too circuitous and the changes were too big. It would be more convenient to just fall into a rain and be trapped on the maple forest slope.
Unexpectedly, this old woman actually fell into the trap. It seems that the charm of money is too great.
"grandmother."
When we arrived at the old woman's house, a fat little man ran out of the house and threw himself on the old woman with open hands.
Yan Yan stared at Little Fatty's face.
This is the same face as Jin Bao. No, it should be said that this is Jin Bao's face.
A living person with a physical body and a soul.
"Hey, my little sweet grandson." The old woman smiled with her toothless mouth exposed.
"You guys sit down first and I'll get you some tea."
"Grandma, let me go." Xiao Pangdun ran to the kitchen.
"My dear grandson is filial." The old woman said happily, "I'd better go and watch, lest my dear grandson lies down on me, and I am just a good grandson." After saying that, he had already walked to the kitchen.
"Do you think it's poison or drug?" Yan Yan asked quietly, sitting on a wooden bench holding a small white candle.
"How can an old man have these two medicines so easily?"
"Then why are they rushing to the restaurant? Are they so kind?" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows.
The old woman came out with a tea cup. Yan Yan stood up and went to meet her. As soon as she touched the tea cup, "clang", several cups were thrown towards her.
…
She endures!
She wanted to hide away.
How could she not be able to dodge such a powerful ghost?!
"Oh, girl, it's all my fault for not being sure."
The corner of Yan Yan's mouth twitched, "It's okay, I have to step forward."
The tea stains on the black gauze skirt were inconspicuous, but I don't know what kind of tea this old woman brewed. There was a bad smell on the skirt.
"Girl, why don't you put on some old clothes first? This ripe tea will smell bad if it falls on your clothes. Take it off and wash it for a while before it dries."
As he spoke, the smell of tea stains filled Yan Yan's entire body with an unpleasant smell, and this smell even rubbed onto Xiao Bai Zhu's body.
She knew how much Xiao Bai Zhu loved to be clean, so she quickly stayed a few steps away from Xiao Bai Zhu.
When he arrived at the old woman's bedroom, looking at the shabby clothes the old woman took out, Yan Yan sighed.
She's not as stinky as Xiao Bai Zhu, but she doesn't have the habit of wearing other people's clothes either.
"Old man, can you let my brother in?"
"If men and women don't have sex, girls are still..."
"It's okay. Seven-year-olds don't share the same table. My little brother is only three years old."
The old woman gritted her teeth, thinking that Yan Yan was going to put her belongings on Xiao Bai Zhu. When she turned around and went to the yard to call Xiao Bai Zhu, she was thinking about how to pour the tea on Xiao Bai Zhu again.
"I heard my sister call me." Xiao Baizhu turned aside and avoided the tea.
As soon as Xiao Bai Zhu came in, Yan Yan closed the door.
Before Xiao Bai Zhu could turn around, her small body was picked up, and then a white jade-like hand stretched out to the belt.
With a gentle tug, the shirt was taken off.
When Yan Yan wanted to take off another piece of his clothes, the little white candle had already landed lightly on the ground.
He looked at Yan Yan with displeasure, then was stunned.
The dark bellyband is embroidered with auspicious clouds, and under the gauze-like trousers are slender legs. The thick ink on her body makes Yan Yan's skin look like snow.
"Little pervert." Yan Yan held Xiao Bai Zhu in his arms again and nodded his head.
The tips of Xiao Bai Zhu's ears turned red, and she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Yan Yan treated him as a child, but now he is a child again.
What could he say?
Yan Yan wouldn't care at all.
But this is not the way to go, Yan Yan can't always be so casual in front of him.
Yan Yan didn't care, but he was an upright man.
Xiao Bai Zhu sighed.
I feel helpless that he looks like a child.
"The girl has changed. The old man will wash the girl's clothes."
Seeing the package placed next to the clothes Yan Ji took off, the old woman's eyes sparkled. From the beginning, she saw various jewelry and silver coins.
"I used the ghost coins to make it. The old guy was so blinded by the wealth that he couldn't even tell the difference between the weight and the fake thing. The fake thing is much lighter than the real thing."
The clothes that Yan Yan was wearing were Xiao Bai Zhu's clothes. The clothes were too big for Xiao Bai Zhu, and they were worn just below her knees, exposing one of her ankles.
"Sister and brother, do you want some candy? Grandma bought this for me. It's delicious."
The two of them talked quietly, and Jinbao brought a bag of osmanthus candies in front of them.
The golden osmanthus candy also contained osmanthus petals, which looked particularly sweet. Yan Yan couldn't help but take a piece and put it in his mouth.
It was so sweet that it made her want another bowl of spicy beef offal soup.
Sweet and spicy, it tastes best.
"What's your name? Are you and grandma the only ones at home? Are there any other brothers or sisters?"
Little Fatty shook his head, "My name is Jinbao. It's just me and grandma. There is no one else at home. Are you willing to play with me?"
The golden treasures in the human world and the golden treasures in the underworld are completely the same as the heavens and the earth. The more disgusting the golden treasures in the underworld are, the more people will like the golden treasures in the human world.
The little baby is white and chubby, smiles happily, and is so well-behaved and sensible.
"Okay, stretch out your hand and I'll do a trick for you."
Jin Bao curled his lips and stretched out his hand.
Yan Yan opened her hand to let Jinbao see that there was nothing in her hand. When she put her clenched hand on Jinbao's open hand and moved it away, she placed an orange candy on her fat little hand.
"Try it, this candy is also delicious." As he spoke, Yan Yan's eyes fell on Jin Bao's wrist.
