After a day, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Gui's harvest was not bad. Although they were not lucky enough to encounter any wild beasts in the forest, they still picked a lot of herbs and wild fruits.
Because of the market, the father and son got up earlier than usual the next morning.
Xiao Gui was leading two cows while Xiao Xiao packed up the harvest for the past few days for the cows to carry. There were no horses at home, and most of the time, they could only tire the two oxen out.
He didn't even eat anything and left home when the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Unlike usual, he practiced his sword in the courtyard. When it came to the market, the place to practice the sword was the dozens of miles of mountain road from the village to the town.
On the winding and rugged road, practicing the sword consumed more physical strength than at home.
In the past, Xiao Xiao, who had swung his sword hundreds of times before he was exhausted, started to pant and his pace would slow down a lot when he walked on the road less than half of his usual times.
But Xiao Xiao didn't dare to stop.
At most, he would use his fair and handsome little face to secretly turn his head from time to time and look at Xiao Gui behind him with a bitter look.
Of course, his gaze was mostly on the leather strip in Xiao Gui's hand.
Xiao Xiao had never had any great ambitions since he was young. His only wish was to burn that leather strip when his father was old!
.........
The villagers went to the market, and most of them started to get tired after walking half the way.
And Xiao Xiao's market usually only relaxed halfway through.
It was almost noon when they arrived at the town. Before he entered, he saw pedestrians coming and going at the main gate.
"Come back early!"
This was because he had brought Qin Jian and the old bull. The gates of the town were guarded by Qin officials. Therefore, Xiao Gui did not enter the town.
Basically, Xiao Xiao had to move the goods back and forth several times by himself.
......
The pharmacy manager in the town was already familiar with Xiao Xiao. Some of the herbs were also from Xiao Gui. Thanks to this place, Xiao Xiao could walk back and forth without worrying about losing the goods.
Unlike the village, the town was filled with people walking back and forth on the bluestone streets.
At a glance, the street was filled with shouts. Most of the commoners who were dressed in cloth clothes similar to Xiao Xiao also saw some merchants who were dressed in expensive clothes.
Of course, Xiao Xiao was very tactful.
He looked at the wild fruits in the sack. He had never imagined that merchants in good clothes would come to buy things from him.
......
Because he was familiar with the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, there was a stall outside Xiao Xiao's pharmacy.
Every time, Xiao Xiao would bring something to that place and wait for others to come and buy it.
It wasn't a lot of money, but it was enough for some small expenses at home.
After taking out the goods and placing them neatly, Xiao Xiao sat on the ground.
"Selling wild fruits!"
......
The shop next door was a place that sold meat patties. From time to time, the fragrance of meat would always divert Xiao Xiao's attention.
It made his already hungry stomach even hungrier.
In the past, when her brother or mother came to town together, they would occasionally buy one for Xiao Xiao. Thinking about that feeling now, Xiao Xiao could not help but drool.
"It's not delicious. It's not delicious at all.”
Xiao Xiao swallowed his saliva and thought to himself. Xiao Xiao's fair face tried not to look to the side, but his blinking eyes and irregular breathing revealed that his heart was not calm.
Just as he was in a daze, a little girl appeared in front of him.
The little girl looked much younger than Xiao Xiao. She was probably only about 12 or 13 years old. However, she looked exceptionally beautiful and cute.
Even Xiao Xiao, a poor boy who had never seen much of the world, felt that this little girl would definitely be especially beautiful in the future.
Speaking of which, he had never seen her before.
However, he looked at the little girl's clothes and then at his own clothes that were covered in dust and had a few holes patched up. Xiao Xiao tactfully lowered his head.
They were people from two different worlds.
.....
Puff!
"So sour!"
She took one out of curiosity. After taking a bite, her cute little face changed drastically in the next second. She narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but spit it out.
After vomiting, the little girl threw away the wild fruit in her hand in disgust.
.....
Before he could stop it, Xiao Xiao could only watch helplessly as a little residue appeared on the fruit.
"Don't vomit on my fruit!"
Xiao Xiao frowned. Especially when he saw the fruits that were obviously stained with saliva.
Although this little girl was very beautiful, it had nothing to do with him.
Not only did she eat his fruit without paying him, but she also made his fruit drool. If the people who originally wanted to buy saw it, even if they knew that only a few fruits were stained with saliva, no one would be willing to buy it.
He picked up the fruit and wiped it with his sleeve. Xiao Xiao was afraid that others would notice.
"You wiped your fruit with your sleeve? Ugh!"
When the little girl saw this scene, the eyes on her cute little face widened a lot. Then, she looked like she was going to vomit. It was as if he had eaten something disgusting.
Hearing this, no matter how good Xiao Xiao's temperament was, he could not help but be a little angry.
However, in the end, he looked at the material of this little girl's clothes and the hairpin on her head that was obviously very expensive.
Thinking of his parents 'words, Xiao Xiao held back his anger.
"Can you move aside! Don't disturb me when I'm selling fruits."
Because of the little girl's actions, the people around her had already noticed this place.
Xiao Xiao was afraid that no one would sell his fruits because of this girl.
He didn't want to bring a big bag of fruits home.
"I won't!"
However, it seemed that she was disgusted by Xiao Xiao wiping the fruit just now. The little girl's pretty face was puffed up as she stood in front of the fruit stall, as if she would not leave.
In an instant, the spears were locked in a stalemate.
