Just then, he felt a pair of strong arms catch him.
He breathed a sigh of relief the moment he landed.
"It looks like my Chuli has been taking good care of itself lately. It's a little heavier than before!"
Hua Xin said jokingly.
Hearing this, Mo Chuli's face suddenly turned red, and he jumped out of Hua Xin's arms somewhat embarrassedly.
"Xinxin, aren't you still feeling unwell? Is it okay to come out like this?" Mo Chuli asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay. I feel much better. Besides, I couldn't digest my food after meals and couldn't sleep at night!" Hua Xin replied with a smile.
Her smile was as bright as the sun, making Mo Chuli feel relaxed.
Seeing Hua Xin deliberately making herself look ugly, Mo Chuli felt that she was very beautiful in his heart at the moment. Seeing her smiling face, the worry in his heart gradually dissipated.
The moonlight was alluring, and even though there were gusts of cold wind, the two of them did not feel cold as they walked side by side, enjoying this peaceful moment.
The moonlight shines on them, outlining a beautiful picture.
Mo Chuli couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if time could stay at this moment forever!
Turning out of the alley, it became lively outside.
"Arya! Arya!"
A plump, simply-dressed middle-aged woman with a look of worry and anxiety on her face was shouting loudly in the bustling crowd, while looking around for her daughter.
"Erya, Old Li, have you seen my Erya?" When the woman saw Old Li passing by, she quickly grabbed him and asked.
Old Li waved his hand and replied, "No, no!"
The woman continued to ask unwillingly: "Hey, Wang Dabao, have you seen my Erya? Where did this girl go?"
Wang Dabao was chewing a steamed bun. When he heard the woman's question, he simply shook his head and said casually, "Erya? I didn't see her today!" Then he sat at the door and continued to chew his bun as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, the woman had no choice but to walk towards the second aunt of the Feng family who was not far away and asked tentatively: "Second aunt of the Feng family, has my second daughter looked for your daughter?"
The second aunt of the Feng family was just bringing her maid out to watch the fun at this time. When she was suddenly asked this by the woman, she was a little confused.
"Baozhu, have you seen Arya?"
Baozhu was only six years old. She shook her head in confusion and said, "I have never met Sister Erya."
"What? Nothing! Damn it, where the hell did this girl go!?"
The woman was really anxious now, and became more and more panicked.
Where could a little girl go so late at night?
At this moment, someone reminded her, "Sister Zhao, aren't we selecting the Nanzhu girls today? Maybe your Erya has gone to join in the fun!"
When the woman heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, "Oh! I forgot about this!" Sister Zhao clapped her hands and quickly turned in another direction.
Seeing this, Hua Xin followed without hesitation.
Mo Chuli followed closely behind him.
Although Sister Zhao is a little plump, her steps are extremely brisk, like an agile civet cat. After twists and turns, she finally arrived at an open space.
The place was crowded with people.
This place was like a small square in the center of the town. In the center of the square, the mayor was standing there speaking loudly. The blazing torches lit around made the world exceptionally bright.
"The weather is really cold. According to past practice, everyone should submit their daughter's birth date and horoscope. Then our Mr. Lin will review it and decide which family will be the winner. No one is allowed to cause trouble!"
The Mr. Lin that the mayor was talking about was an old man with a long beard and squinting eyes.
His eyes were half closed and half open, making it difficult to tell whether he was awake or asleep.
In front of him was a table with peeling paint and a bright red brush on it.
Sister Zhao looked around anxiously, trying to find someone.
However, due to the large number of people at the scene, she found it difficult to identify the target for a while.
Just then, a thin figure suddenly squeezed over from Hua Xin's left.
The figure moved swiftly and agilely, like a kitten, bending down and moving quickly through the crowd.
When she passed by Hua Xin, they happened to make eye contact.
"Sister, can you help me pass on my birth date?"
The little girl looked to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, with a childish and cute face, but her eyes revealed a firmness.
Unfortunately, a gust of wind blew up her bangs, revealing an obvious scar.
The little girl seemed to realize this and hurriedly covered her forehead with her hands.
Seeing that Hua Xin didn't respond, she passed Hua Xin without hesitation and continued to look for the next person to help.
"Uncle, could you please hand over my birth date for me?" The little girl's voice sounded again.
However, before the uncle could respond, a sharp and piercing voice suddenly rang out: "Arya! Stop right there!"
Sister Zhao was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Erya's wrist and pulled her out of the crowd effortlessly as if she was picking up a chicken.
"Oh my, Auntie, please let go, it really hurts!"
Arya cried and screamed, her voice filled with fear and pain.
It is worth noting that she called the other party "Auntie" instead of "Mother", which implies that there is no blood relationship between them, and it is obvious that Arya is afraid of this Auntie.
"You know it hurts, but you still dare to run around? Do you want to become Miss Nanzhu? Stop dreaming! Just based on the scar on your forehead, you can't do it at all. Come back with me and work!"
Sister Zhao grabbed Erya's arm tightly and dragged her out the door mercilessly.
The people around seemed to be used to it, and no one stepped forward to stop this farce.
Hua Xin's eyes were a little confused, as if she was lost in thought.
However, the farce just now happened not far from her, and she could not erase the innocent and lovable face of the little girl from her mind, especially the incomparably determined eyes, which were deeply imprinted in her heart.
"Let's go!" Hua Xin came back to her senses, lost interest in continuing to watch, turned around and prepared to leave.
Mo Chuli, as usual, followed her steps quietly without saying a word.
Neither of them spoke along the way, but when they turned a corner, they met the little girl again.
Suddenly, there was a scream: "Ouch!"
It turned out that Erya fell to the ground unexpectedly.
From behind, it looked as if someone was chasing her.
