Demon this kind of thing, really innate aura. And no matter how downtrodden and miserable he was, as long as the person poked into the crowd, that aura, that stance, was really different.

Ya Xiao’s eyes were fixed on Shan Yanxiu, who was not far away.

This man today wearing a black turtleneck sweater, outside a light-colored jacket, dark jeans make him look slender and straight, more and more cranes – this line is she copied his private money after pulling him to buy, the goods of the store. The quality is much better than that of the bazaar, and the price after discount is also very friendly. She bought him two bodies, a now wear a stay in the New Year to wear. The man also wrinkled his nose and said why have to wait for the first day of the year, anyway, are to wear. She spent a lot of words and the man who does not understand the folklore, explaining that the first day of the new year is also the first day of the new year should be new from head to toe, inside and out, said the mouth froth all dry he reluctantly accepted.

She no longer allowed him to go outside the small mahjong halls to play cards, on the one hand, the neighborhood is a stalemate, to see the old man old woman that gaze and eat people like. Shan Yanxiu did not think, said that the day is just panicked to go out to play a hand, and then willing to gamble to admit defeat ah, are adults. Her head shook like a drum, adults are adults, that also have to be categorized. When you meet adults who are old enough to be familiar with each other, their temper is worse than children’s, and some of them may be rolling on the ground when they play tricks. On the other hand, the last time she thought she was selling her watch for her birthday, her heart was not tolerant enough. This time, when the truth came out, she was overwhelmed by tears and guilt. Although she promised to give him some pocket money every month, but she knows very well that for a man, especially like him, taking money from a woman’s hand is really quite disgraceful. But the good thing is that she is thick-skinned enough, the red book a shot, said it really false, in short, a rope on the grasshopper, have my have your!

Shan Yanxiu killed out from the crowded crowd, he now felt that the masses who squeezed their heads almost broken in order to purchase bargains were the most horrible mass killers. Compared to the people who were personally grabbing bargains, the woman sitting not far away slurping homemade pumpkin juice was much smarter. Bargains are to buy drops, but people never come by themselves, she just pays the money, and then remotely control his efforts.

Placing the long netting in front of her, the man sat down next to the edge. She smiled and put the cup to the side, from the net pocket pulled out a small red tangerine peeling up, not forgetting to explain, “This is sugar orange, small but very sweet.” Her skillful technique, peeled oranges like a miniature lantern in the palm, “Try?” With a slight hesitation he reached out and broke off a petal and put it in his mouth, sweet and icy, very tasty indeed. Reaching out with the intention of breaking another petal, he didn’t expect her to slap the rest of the orange into his mouth as soon as she raised her hand.

“Eating such a small orange is also so matronly, can’t stand it.” She was looking down on him, pulling out a few more oranges from her net pocket and placing them on her lap to peel them one by one, “This small orange has to be eaten one bite at a time, that’s what makes it painful.”

He couldn’t help but frown at her lapping up the food, “You’re hurting your stomach.”

She stops chewing in her mouth and sweeps him up and down once, coldly snorting, “People with a hole in their stomachs are not qualified to say that other people’s stomachs are bad.” After eating a few in a row and seeing that he was still frowning disapprovingly, she shoved a thermos into his hand, “You drink pumpkin juice, it’s hot. And don’t keep watching people eat, it’s rude.”

He didn’t move, his hands slowly rubbing the thermos’s shell as if warming his hands, “Where are we going later?”

“To buy some New Year’s goods, get them ready early so we don’t have to buy them even if we want to by then.” She gathered up the orange peels and threw them into a trash can, “Although we are borrowing someone else’s house to live in, it’s always New Year’s Eve, so we have to put up spring scrolls and stuff. Ah, we also need to buy plum blossoms.”

They had looked for a few flower stores before, but they hadn’t seen any plum blossoms for sale. Some people even heard that they wanted to buy plum blossoms and said that it was unlucky, and that there was no such thing as buying mold to go home. For such traditional customs and taboos he does not understand, but see her so insistent, can only be what she said he did.

She clapped her hands, “I heard someone say that there is a flower farm in the suburbs, maybe there is a kind of plum blossom. But that place is a bit far, you’ll have to hitchhike there.” Just as the words left her mouth, she saw him raise his hand to call for a taxi, and hurriedly slapped it down with a paw, “Dying, how expensive it would be to take a taxi there, take the bus!”

She’d gotten rid of the pickup truck they’d driven when they arrived, and now had to walk and rely on mass transit. Taking the bus was fine, it was just a matter of squeezing in a crowd. Shan Yanxiu’s slender stature stood firm, well suited as a human shield and three-dimensional pillar. The crowd is not scary, the scary thing is the big bags that people bring when the festival is approaching. This bus to the suburbs, the car is mostly to the city procurement back to the suburbs of the uncle aunts and grandparents, so with a variety of things.

He may have seen the horrible capacity of city transportation during the Spring Festival on TV, but it was definitely the first time that he personally experienced and rode on this kind of bus to the urban and rural areas.

Thinking about the door had just opened when he was shocked by the rustic atmosphere, although the face is expressionless but his body has been a little stiff. If it was not for her behind him to push him to death, it is estimated that they are still at the station to drink the northwest wind.

The car is crowded with many people and things to bring, squeezing the carriages full. Cold day by the window passengers more than willing to open the window, so the air in the car is very bad, can smell the smell of roast duck roast duck brine dry seafood and even fried stink dry. They managed to squeeze to near the door of the car, where the roof has opened a skylight, the air is a little better than inside. Just to take a breath when Ya Xiao suddenly felt something behind them in the top of their own, turn their heads to see just short of screaming out loud – a big fat white duck is with a yellow beak arching their own buttocks.

Birds with beaks can sip, and that sip can hurt. She melted her face and pushed her way towards him, trying to distance herself from the big fat duck, not forgetting to accuse the passenger who brought the live bird up. The passenger also knows that their own duck is indeed aggressive, a hold of the big fat duck’s beak also did not forget to punch her naive smile, “sell the leftovers, do you want? Cheap.”

She shook her head and plucked a drum, jokingly, she wants to buy also have to buy a well-treated duck, get a big live duck she still have a headache how to kill it. She this side of the palpitating turn her head, ears heard him laugh softly, not a little annoyed, “What are you laughing at?”

“You are afraid of ducks ah.”

“Which eye did you see that I’m afraid of ducks.”

“If you’re not afraid, why do you keep covering your butt, afraid it will bite you.” His teeth were white, “Don’t worry, ducks don’t have teeth, it won’t hurt.”

Listen, this is a city dweller! This is the city people who have not been sucked on the butt by ducks, have not been chased by BH’s feathered fowls – talking extremely irresponsibly! And smugly pretending to be serious about giving a science talk!

She didn’t even bother to argue with him.

The car drove on for a while, passing a stop without stopping. Behind someone holding up a nylon netting yelling to get off, but also croaking and cursing the vernacular. Driver Xu was scolded annoyed a foot down, emergency brakes, the whole car was like a big wave hit like a big fall, the rush off the car is holding up two mesh pockets were thrown out, inside the things crackling and rain like down. This inside if the fruit and so on even if, but very cup, inside loaded is not a common daily necessities, also not apple banana and so on melon vegetables.

Anyway, when Shan Yanxiu reached out to block the first mesh pocket falling unknown objects only feel cold to the touch, but also slippery. His first thought was that it might be an aquatic product or something like that, and with this knowledge in mind, he quickly intercepted the unidentified object that was about to fall on her head when it came down from the second mesh pocket.

Spreading his hand out, the palm of his hand was a grayish-black, cold, sticky and slippery mass of unidentified objects. It was ugly, not so ugly that it looked like an alien, but it was enough to scare people who saw it for the first time. So still holding her head, Ya Xiao had the honor of seeing the demon’s face for the first time with an expression that could be considered horrified, very evocative, very emotional, and …… well worth the price of admission.

“What the hell was that.” He finally asked her after getting out of the car and walking a ways.

She forced a laugh, “Frogs.”

He whipped his head around to glare at her, “Frogs are green, it’s not.”

“Oh, then it’s a mutant frog.” She poofed out a laugh, seeing his face become more and more difficult to hold back, “You’re afraid of frogs ahahaha.”

“That’s not a frog, but it’s not a toad either.” Displeasure surfaced on his face, “Stop laughing, you’re laughing so hard.”

She stifled a laugh, her eyes dripping over him, thieving and bad, “You want to know wow, hehehe, freaking out.” See his lips pursed, eyebrows also floated a hint of darkness this only to hold back the laughter to explain: that plaything is indeed a kind of frogs, the difference is that it grows in a more special environment. Only in the deep mountains to catch this plaything, more special is this kind of frogs growing place near most of the snakes. The old man is superstitious about the saying that one thing can detoxify a thing, saying that this kind of frog can detoxify the poison. And this kind of frogs can not be captive, only wild, so it is very rare.

But she herself is also a little strange, winter is not frogs hibernate it, can also catch?

After getting off the car walked nearly twenty minutes to the destination of the flower farm, now in the New Year, so outside set up a lot of large and small kumquat fortune tree, large two people high, small also have half a person high, red red green green looks very happy.

The workers of the flower farm heard that they want to buy plum blossom is not too big surprise, just casually pointing inside, “plum blossom, but it is wax plum, have to be sold by pot.” A pot of one hundred and two, or not so good varieties. Hacking the price is very hard, the final negotiated price is one hundred dollars. Ya Xiao felt that this money spent some wrong, but unfamiliar with the place she really can not find a second place to sell plum blossoms. Just as she was about to pull out the money while suffering from a flesh pain she suddenly saw a silhouette swaying not far away and her eyes immediately brushed bright.

“Manager Wang!” The little paw waved in mid-air with great vigor, “You’ve come to come buy the Fortune Tree too wow.” Wang Qiming was one of the supermarket’s suppliers, less than thirty years old, not handsome but with decent features. Wang Qiming is the agent of a brand of food, and often sends some new products to the office to taste. Ya Xiao and his dealings are not much, for this person’s impression only stays in the ‘Manager Wang came and have free snacks to eat, yeah oh’ impression. However, although she was not familiar with him, she had met him before, and the other party also recognized her. Therefore, after she waved her little hand so forcefully Wang Qiming also came over with a smile, very attentive, “Ms. Yang, such a coincidence.”

“Wow, Manager Wang you bought a lot.” Her eyes kept looking towards the truck behind Wang Qiming, half a truck bucket loaded with Fortune Trees. There should be a discount for buying so many, since she could get a discount she might as well piggyback on her Wealthy Plums as well!

“The company is going to use them, and there are also some to send to customers.” Wang Qiming smiles, “By the way, they have sent mini kumquats that are placed on the table, if Ms. Yang likes it, she can bring a few back for the New Year.”

Ya Xiao hypocritically snorted and said that this is not a good idea, but her eyes turned very slippery, “Ai, my family is used to buying plum blossoms for the Chinese New Year. The city looked for a long time did not find plum blossoms, I ran here to buy plums, but really expensive ah.”

Wang Qiming was very generous, waved his hand, “But a pot of plum blossoms, I’ll let the field manager to send you. I’m an acquaintance of the field manager, so I’ll just talk to him.”

Ya Xiao mouth is still the same old tune, said how can this be good ah although the money is not much can also be a favor Well Wang Manager is really polite hey really trouble you. The heart is happy almost did not jump to the sky, look, she just said hello just save a hundred dollars, really lucky.

After the free flowers arrived, Wang Qiming insisted on using the newly purchased Escalade to send her, Ya Xiao, although pleased, but also did not forget the form. Her hand pointed backward, “You’re welcome Manager Wang, I still have a friend there, he still wants to stroll around.” Cheapness can be rubbed in, but one cannot be ignorant of propriety. What’s more, Shan Yanxiu has been standing not far behind her since a while ago, poking her back with a cold gaze, wah cool wah cool.

Wang Qiming only need to look back a glance to know their own advantages and disadvantages compared to the other side immediately appeared, secretly sighing at the same time also knowingly and wisely left first.

Ya Xiao held the not-so-light pot of Lapis lazuli and watched the Escalade leave, then turned around and walked away while complaining, “Why are you standing so far away? Come over and help me carry the flowers, this pot is dead heavy.”

Shan Yanxiu moved his steps slowly approached, and did not reach out to pick up the flowers, just half-hanging eyes as if glued to the pot of plums. Lapis lazuli bloomed more than half, the largest is only two fingers wide, there are still a lot of small buds hanging on the branch, looks pink and lovely.

She was a bit anxious, “What are you looking at, help me hold it, my hands are sore.” She thought it would be fair for the two of them to take turns carrying the flowers to the station and then take a ride home, that is, it would also save energy.

“This flower is very expensive.” He reached out and touched a freshly bloomed plum with his finger.

She beamed, “Hey, hey, it’s free! What a coincidence to run into someone I know, saved me a hundred bucks.”

“That man just now.” His tone was light, no emotions could be heard.

Ya Xiao only felt that her hands were getting sore, “Yes, one of our suppliers just happened to come to buy kumquat trees or something, and piggybacked on it. He bought more, I this small pot as a gift. How lucky, thanks to him.” She said it naturally, and didn’t pay attention to the modifications, not to mention noticing the black mist gathering in the man’s half-hidden eyes.

“Oh. That’s a pretty nice guy then.”

His tone still sounded flat, but Ya Xiao heard a hint of something else, a hint that made her heart feel like a small claw scratching, itching-

“To say that Wang Qiming this person is really good, he takes care of me on weekdays.”

“Oh.”

Pretend, keep pretending!

“He often takes me to the bank and the Commerce and Industry Bureau.”

“Oh.”

Why don’t you give me a different reaction? Obviously the mood is not right!

Ya Xiao gritted her teeth, out of the killer, “Last time he also sent me a big bag of chocolate, he and I said that if you want to eat it, just talk to him, as much as you want.” Sent yes, but it was sent to the whole office and said it was also said to the whole office.

“Oh.”

There was no way out of this dead dog man!

She was frustrated to the core and her temper got the best of her, “Oh what oh, and don’t help me with the basin, it’s so heavy!” She changed her mind, she was going to let him hold this dead, heavy lump of tile all the way to the station.

Do not give to change hands, tired to death!

He held out his hand in a cupped position.

She handed it out naturally, too, and let go again naturally.

Snap.

“Why don’t you take it!”

“I took it, you’re the one who didn’t put it away.”

“Nonsense, you obviously did it on purpose!” She freaked out, “You pay for my plums!”

He pocketed his hands into the pockets of his pants, half-smiling with his chin slightly raised. That haughty and arrogant expression was so familiar, so familiar that she wanted to burst into tears.

“Don’t you get free ones? You can get as much as you want, so go get another pot~~”

What a long time coming!

Dead demon!!!
