Elven History Song

Ruan Guixian took Sima Yiyan's arm and the two barely squeezed through the people gathered together to see clearly what was surrounded. In fact, they heard people around them talking about it before they squeezed in.

"Hey, that kid's body is so soft, he can even do that kind of action."

"No, that child seems to have no bones."

After reluctantly squeezing in, Sima Yiyan and Ruan Guixian saw that this place was actually a street performing stall. A middle-aged man was directing a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old to perform various actions that ordinary people could not do. . I saw that the little boy's body folded together as easily as if there were no bones, and it was easy to do the lower back splits. There were also somersaults, continuous backflips and other various movements displayed one after another. Although these were displayed by Sima Yiyan and Ruan Guiqian. It seems very childish, but for this seven or eight-year-old child, it took a lot of time and countless scars to practice, and the audience really bought it. Every time the little boy performed an action, he was very happy. Some people applauded, and the middle-aged man would always take the opportunity to come forward with a broken jar, and people would throw their change into the broken jar in his hand in twos and threes.

Ruan Guiqian naturally took out two copper coins and threw them into the jar that the middle-aged man held out. The middle-aged man looked at the two of them with a flattering expression, bared his yellow teeth and smiled widely, then turned to ask for rewards from others. , but Ruan Guixian's eyes accidentally turned to the little boy. The little boy did not look at the man who came forward to ask for a reward, nor at the spectators who gave money, but kept looking at the alley not far away.

Ruan Guixian gently nudged Sima Yiyan beside her with her elbow, and used her eyes to indicate to him that there seemed to be something in that alley. Sima Yiyan glanced at the alley. Although it was daytime, there seemed to be quite a problem in the design of the alley. The lighting was very poor, and there were several houses set up on the roofs of both sides of the alley. The ceiling makes the alley almost completely dark even during the day.

Although he couldn't see anything, the sensory feedback gave Sima Yiyan a message that there were two children in that alley.

"There were two children in that alley, a boy and a girl. The boy seemed to be injured."

Sima Yiyan whispered these words to Ruan Guiqian beside her. After saying these words, Ruan Guiqian could see that Sima Yiyan's expression became very serious, but what she didn't see was that even her own expression began to change. He became solemn. Although this trip was indeed not a pleasant one, this situation alone was enough to make the two of them feel dissatisfied, and it was not impossible for them to just give up and go back now.

"Let's see what happens."

Sima Yiyan didn't reply, just nodded. Standing here all the time is not a good choice. The two decided to go somewhere else for the time being, not too far away from here, in case they couldn't keep up with them when they came back later.

The two of them had been active in the surrounding stalls until it was almost lunch time. The middle-aged man gestured to the boy to tell him that he could take a break. He took out a steamed bun from a broken bag and handed it to the boy. The boy took the bun and raised his head to look at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man knew what the boy wanted to say, so he said something casually and walked to the alley. After a while, the man came out. The boy glanced behind him. It seemed that someone in the alley had been watching the man. When he saw the boy looking in his direction, he nodded to him. The boy seemed to be able to see the movements of the people in the alley. Likewise, Blinking to show that he understood, he ate the steamed buns in a few licks and stood up to look at the man. The man looked around. There were almost no people watching their performance at this point. He simply sat down in the shade next to the alley and rested. The boy seemed a little dissatisfied, but when he saw the man sitting down to rest, he could only find a place to start. rest.

Sima Yiyan has been observing their movements with his perception ability. Ruan Guiqian would ask him a few questions from time to time, and he would tell her the current status of those people. After all, it was time to eat, so the two of them went to a nearby ramen shop and ordered two bowls of ramen for lunch. Although they ordered ramen, the two of them were not hungry, especially Sima Yiyan. All his energy was now focused on the boy and the man.

Although Ruan Guixian doesn't seem to care much about this matter, she is actually as concerned about it as Sima Yiyan.

That man was not the boy's father or even a relative. This was confirmed by Sima Yiyan and Ruan Guiqian almost the moment they saw the two people. Although there was no direct evidence to prove this, their intuition told them so. For both of them.

After lunch, the man saw that there were gradually more people around him, so he got up and walked to the boy's side. The boy was not asleep. He stood up immediately when he saw the man coming over. The man told the boy that it was time to work. The boy nodded and started his performance again expressionlessly.

The boy's performance was much more exciting than before. This time there were not only more new moves, but also a lot of props. Although it was very enjoyable for passersby to watch, the props could injure the boy if they were not careful. Whether it was a top knife or somersaulting through a wire ring, a slight carelessness could even endanger his life.

But it's performances like this that win applause from the audience. Wave after wave of applause spread almost non-stop to all the surrounding stalls. The man's flattering face appeared in front of everyone again, holding up the broken jar and begging people to give him some money. The audience was very impressed by the boy's performance. This time, the income in the afternoon alone was nearly double that in the morning.

Sima Yiyan and Ruan Guiqian were quietly watching the boy's performance and the man's flattering face. They didn't have much to say, they just watched quietly. The sky was getting dark, and the man closed his stall and was about to leave.

Sima Yiyan and Ruan Guixian looked at each other and reached a consensus. The two of them disappeared instantly without anyone noticing their movements.

The man broke off half of the steamed bun and gave it to the boy. The boy ran to the alley and stayed there for a long time before he came out. The half of the steamed bun in his hand was gone.

The man glanced at it without saying anything. He picked up the broken jar and the props, and the boy followed him and left.
