After defeating the paranoid villain, I failed to escape

Bear with it. If what Abbot Shi Kong and him said is true, then one day, he will also be able to get what he wants.

The little boy gently scratched the ginkgo leaf in his hand with his fingertips, as if he had absorbed something from it that could stabilize his emotions. His ugly face quickly returned to normal, and he opened his Ruifeng eyes again.

Looking at him now, there is only tranquility and peace in his eyes.

The place the carriage was going to was Zhuque Street, the busiest place in the capital. It was a street frequented by ordinary people and powerful families, because the quality of the new year's goods there was very good and the price was reasonable.

"Buy fruit or candy first, let's wait later?" Zuo Weiyue took a little rest, grabbed Xiao Lou Huai's sleeve, inhaled his scent like a cat sucking mint, and looked at him and Xiao Si Yi.

"Buy the fruit first. If you pick it late, the rest of the fruit won't be too fresh."

Xiao Siyi lifted the curtains of the carriages and looked out at the congested road conditions. Apart from the carriages one after another, there were many ox carts and donkey carts outside.

It seems that they are all planning to buy new year's goods in the next few days.

In the past, when he was in the City Lord's Mansion of the City of Eternal Cold, he was handled by the butler of the mansion. It was really the first time that he made a special trip to choose the New Year's goods like now.

But even so, he also understood a lot under the influence of his ears and eyes.

On the other hand, little Lou Huai moved her lips several times after Zuo Weiyue raised this question, but she didn't know what to say.

Although he, like Xiao Siyi, has never taken care of these things, but unlike Xiao Siyi, he has been busy improving himself in the past few years, and he has all the energy in his heart to become stronger so that he can When Zuo Weiyue reappeared, he could help her more, so he didn't even pay attention to buying new year's goods.

He could only watch Zuo Weiyue and Xiao Siyi's fiery discussions, but he himself was like a dumb man with a mouth but could not speak, with his lips pursed and his head drooping.

After Zuo Weiyue asked Xiao Siyi for a while about the rules and techniques of buying new year's goods at Xiding, she didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Louhuai at all, so she turned to him and asked, "Lou Muggle, what kind of fruit do you like to eat? "

"It's okay." The little boy's tone was sullen, and he was not in a good mood.

Zuo Weiyue frowned: "Anything is fine, you have to be more specific. Of course, you have to pick what you like when you buy New Year's goods. Si Yi has already said that he likes to eat pears and peaches. What about you?"

"I'm not sure, it's up to you. Generally, what you like to eat, I like to eat too."

Seeing him twisting like this, Zuo Weiyue later realized that something was wrong with him, after staring at him for a while, she suddenly approached his ear, covered her lips with her left hand, and whispered to him.

He heard her say to him in a very soft voice:
"I asked Si Yi clearly, just to help you buy the freshest fruits you like to eat. If you don't make it clear now, then I am asking for nothing? In our magical world, there is no such thing as buying new year's goods. If it wasn't for you, I really don't want to waste so much talking."

Undoubtedly, Zuo Weiyue's words did touch a soft spot in Xiao Lou Huai's heart. The words "for you" that she said echoed in his ears, the heat in his body rose a little, and his neck became a little red. , was finally willing to say the name of a fruit.

"strawberry."

It's not that he really likes to eat, maybe, it's just because in his memory, the future him used that despicable way to get close to Zuo Weiyue for the first time, and the present him did the same thing not long ago That's why he has an unusual feeling about strawberries.

"Strawberry?" Xiao Siyi interjected and reminded, "Then the carriage must speed up, after all, this is not a local fruit that only grows in Xiding."

Zuo Weiyue, as a reasonably educated ring spirit, also knew that strawberries shouldn't have existed in ancient times, even if they existed, it couldn't have happened in ancient China.

It was the first time she heard that there were strawberries here before, and she asked Lou Huai, only to find out that it was a kind of exotic fruit that came in from outside the domain.

So now, after listening to Xiao Siyi's reminder, she can understand.

Because no matter where they are, things are rare and expensive. Strawberries are not as common as pears and peaches, so you have to buy them earlier.

So Xiao Lou Huai, who had already relieved a lot of sulking, asked the driver to speed up, trying to reach Zhuque Street earlier.

Fortunately, they set off early, and although there were more carriages in front of them, when the carriages drove into a relatively spacious avenue and spread out, they became much less.

"When you arrive, son, the fruit here is said to be the freshest, and the price is also reasonable. Do you want to get off the carriage to buy it yourself, or are you subordinates?"

Xiao Lou Huai took Zuo Weiyue's hand out of the carriage and gave Ji Shi an answer.

But even so, the selected strawberries and other fruits still need to be picked up by the guards.

After a big purchase, it was almost noon, and the purchase of this year's goods was over.

Ordinary people buy new year's goods for the purpose of entertaining relatives and friends, but the situation here in Xiao Louhuai is different, Zuo Weiyue asked him to buy only enough for ten people.

The reason for getting more than three people is mainly because Xiao Lou Huai said that the guards and subordinates beside him will not go home for the New Year, so she said that she can share some with them, which can be regarded as strengthening their master and servant camaraderie.

Xiao Siyi followed behind the two of them, looking at the atmosphere around them that no one could penetrate, his right hand was still stroking the kit containing the ginkgo leaf, with an unrealistic expression on his face.

After lunch on Zhuque Street at noon, Zuo Weiyue heard that there are many shops selling gadgets near the Crescent Bridge on Zhuque Street, thinking that there is nothing to do in the afternoon, she suggested a visit.

I never imagined that I would meet Xiao Lou Heng and the young Xie Shiyun walking together, standing in front of a candied haws stall waiting for the vendor to pick them from straw skewers.

Zuo Weiyue's sharp-eyed discovery made Xiao Lou Huai stop for a while, and deliberately checked to see if she had identified the wrong person.

After all, in the original book "Chasing Power" that she had read, Xie Shiyun and Lou Heng met in the City of Eternal Cold seven years later. At that time, she was sure that it was the first time they met.

Now, how could it be so early, and the relationship between the two seems so unusual?
As Nahan was doing this, a row of carriages loaded with supplies came in from the middle of the street, blocking her view.

When the carriage team came to an end, before she went to look at the candied haws vendor's stall, there was already no one there.

"What's the matter? Do you want to eat candied haws?"

The appearance of Xie Shiyun and Xiao Lou Heng was only a few breaths away. Not long after Zuo Weiyue saw them, their figures were blocked by the carriage team that suddenly appeared, and Xiao Lou Huai did not see them.

But he didn't see it, but Xiao Siyi saw it clearly.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke up, telling the story that he also saw Xiao Lou Heng and Xie Shiyun appearing together.

Also celebrate the new year to the characters.
