Taibai into the moon

Chapter 14 Catch the Thief!

When we arrived in town, it was already sunset.

But the street is still haunted by lanterns.

Yun Qichen opened the curtain of the car and peeked out, it was very lively.All kinds of vendors are dazzled by the clouds and dust.

"Master, it's so lively, it seems to be a festival." Xie Yi's voice came from outside the curtain of the car, mixed with the cries from outside.

"what happened?"

Sitting in the car, Huairou said lightly, "Today is Lidong."

beginning of winter?This is the first time Yun Qichen has heard of Lidong, and he doesn't know what it means.But looking at the reactions of these people here, it may be something that everyone knows.

Yun Qichen didn't ask, if he didn't know, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

After the beginning of winter, the New Year's Eve is not far away.Huairou looked at the happy scene of the people outside the car window, it must be a bumper harvest year here.Huairou prayed silently in her heart, no matter what, let this year pass smoothly.

Xie Yi drove the carriage through the busy city, and finally found an inn.

The inn doesn't look very big, but it is fairly well-staffed, and there is a waiter leading a horse at the door.

Xie Yi got out of the car and handed the carriage to him, and the three of them went in.

"I'm really sorry... so far there are only two rooms left." The shopkeeper said regretfully.

There are not enough rooms, and these three people cannot be separated.

"Shopkeeper, do you know any other inns near here?" Huairou asked.

"Yes, there are three or four houses in the future, but today we are in Lidong, and there is a winter festival. Most of them are full." The shopkeeper explained while gesturing to the north.

The direction Yun Qichen and Huairou came from is still far away from the town, and the inns here are all full now, and it would probably be the same if they go further.

Huairou hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision: "For the shopkeeper, these two rooms are the only ones."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper heard that Huairou was going to live, and happily asked Xiao Er to greet him.

The three of them followed the waiter to the upper floor. There were two rooms, one at the east end and one at the west end.Who lives with whom becomes a question.

"Waiting..."

"Yi'er, you live with me, your Uncle Yun is still injured."

Seeing that Yun Qichen was about to open his mouth, Huairou immediately told Xie Yi to live with him.

Xie Yi took the key and left with Huairou, Yun Qichen had no choice but to go to Dongtou's room by himself.

The room looks good, the bed is clean, and the tea on the table is hot.

But you can't just sleep now, can you?Yun Qichen turned his head and looked out of the window. The lights outside were brilliant, and there were everything for food, clothing and play.

Yun Qichen thought to himself, if he went out for a stroll, he would just ask what Lidong is.

When he got to the street, Yun Qichen looked east and west, except for the lanterns, most of them were women's rouge, gouache and hairpin rings.

"Why are they all women's things, so no man can carry them?" Yun Qichen waved his fan, looking from stall to stall.

Yun Qichen was very handsome, even though he was dressed in black, he couldn't hide his nobility.When he passed by the virgins, all the virgins looked back at him, but he himself didn't notice it, he just felt that the folk customs here were so enthusiastic.

Yun Qichen walked to an jewelry booth, there were bracelets and hairpins hanging on the top, and combs and jade hairpins on the bottom.Seeing that Yun Qichen was still the same old way, he was about to leave.

"My lord, what are you looking at?" The stall owner was a young and beautiful woman. She had her hair pulled back, so she must have been married.

The woman seemed to know it clearly, and said: "These hairpins and rings are most suitable for girls you like. And these combs, combs represent lovesickness, and you will know your heart as soon as you give it to her."

Hearing what she said, Yun Qichen stopped in his tracks immediately, and said, "Will he know what I mean as soon as I send him off?"

The woman nodded and said: "That's natural, who's girl doesn't expect someone to comb her hair and put on red makeup?"

Yun Qichen looked at the pile of combs, they were all wooden combs, they were exquisitely made and the colors were beautiful.Yun Qichen couldn't help thinking of Huairou's long ink splashed hair, he had never seen Huairou comb her hair.

If he brushes his hair himself, he will definitely be very moved.

Yun Qichen thought about it, and felt that the more he thought about it, the more he was right.So he stood in front of the stall owner and picked up the comb seriously.

"These combs are carved with phoenixes and flowers..." This is too inconsistent with Huairou's cold and fairy temperament.

"Is there anything more elegant?" Yun Qichen asked.

The stall owner thought for a while and said, "Yes."

The stall owner took out a comb from the bottom of the box. This comb was not cheap at first glance, and it was made of jadeite.The whole body is white, only the top is a little green, and a few green bamboos are carved.

When Yun Qichen saw the stall owner took out the hairbrush, he thought it was it.

But looking at it like this, I always feel that it is worth a lot.

"How much is this comb?"

"Not expensive, ten taels of silver." The woman said with a smile.

Yun Qichen's gestures and gestures are not ordinary people's style, the woman thought it was someone's young master, ten taels of silver was still enough.

But seeing Yun Qichen's current situation, he immediately put the wooden comb aside.

Yun Qichen was really short of cash.

Just as Yun Qichen was hesitating, a loud voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"

Yun Qichen turned his head to look in the direction of the voice, catch a thief?Is this okay?

Without saying a word, Yun Qichen ran forward and chased after him.

But he forgot that he didn't have spiritual power now, and he couldn't run as fast as the one who called to catch the thief behind him.

Yun Qichen looked around and shouted: "Whoever catches the thief, thank you five taels of silver!"

The people who heard it immediately looked at Yun Qichen, Yun Qichen took off the money bag on his body, and said: "Whoever catches the thief, five taels of silver as a thank you!"

This was considered a blast, and the young and strong immediately went up to catch them, chasing and intercepting them.

Yun Qichen tied the money bag back to himself, and couldn't help thinking: "I'm really smart."

Dozens of people were chasing after him, but the thief ran around and finally fell into the French Open.

In the end, it was the elder brother who shouted "Catch the thief" who caught the little thief.

Yun Qichen wanted to fulfill his promise, but the eldest brother waved his hand out of breath and said, "Little brother, you catch the thief for me, how can I ask you to give me more money."

"Thank you everyone! Thank you all, I will invite you to come to my house for tea in two days." The elder brother who caught the thief cupped his hands to those around who helped him.

Only then did Yun Qichen realize that he was the one who caught the thief.

Yun Qichen tied the money bag back, and said with a smile: "Brother is very skilled, it's my fault."

"Hey." The big brother held the little thief down and said, "He's very slippery. I wouldn't be able to catch him if there weren't so many people."

"Hand over the things!" The elder brother took out a piece of fine jadeite from the thief's arms.

Yun Qichen knew at a glance that this thing was worth a lot.

Yun Qichen thought in his heart: "This kid doesn't know how to pick people when he steals. This thing is not ordinary at first glance. After stealing it, he will definitely be chased and intercepted."

The eldest brother took back the materials, pushed the little thief forward, and said, "Let's go!"

Yun Qichen was very surprised, and said: "Just let it go like this?"

"Hey, little brother, are you from out of town?" The elder brother smiled knowingly.

Yun Qichen nodded.

"Hey, that's it. Don't embarrass this kid, just take the things back." The elder brother waved his hand.

Yun Qichen nodded dubiously, but didn't speak.This elder brother is dressed very ordinary, like a farmer, but the things he holds are not ordinary.

"Little brother, let's go, my mother-in-law's stall is nearby, I'll take you to drink tea!"

The eldest brother was very forthright, saying that this brother is committed.

It was only then that Yun Qichen realized that although the elder brother had learned a carving technique, although there were not many materials, the carvings would definitely sell a lot.
