    At noon on November 28th, Ji Xingxuan arrived in front of Changchun Square as promised and stopped on the street. She got off the sedan and looked around the street. No suspicious figure was found, so she led her companions  The naked maid walked through the pedestrian street and walked to Fangshi Gate on the other side of the street.  The anonymous letter she received only said that she should go to Changchunfang for an appointment at noon today. It did not ask her to go alone, and it did not explain how the transaction was to be done. She could not even confirm what the other party wanted.  But Ji Xingxuan wasn't too worried. Nearby, Ji Huaishan arranged for five or six nursing homes to disguise themselves as passers-by. Even the maid next to her knew some martial arts. As long as that person showed up, no matter what happened today,  Will let it go.  Ji Xingxuan deliberately arrived a moment early, but before noon, she waited around and saw no one. It was not pleasant to stand on the street in winter, and the cold wind blew so hard that her face hurt. Fortunately, she was dressed warmly, with a light red fur collar.  The cloak wrapped around her slim figure, and her face was always covered with green gauze. Only her fair forehead and eyebrows were exposed. Even if it was half-covered, it was enough for passers-by to look back.  Dongyang was half hidden in the clouds. When she heard the bell tower ringing in the distance, Ji Xingxuan braced herself and was looking at the pedestrians passing by. Suddenly, she felt something being lightly thrown behind her.  The maid said "Hey" and bent down behind her to pick up a crumpled paper ball.  "Miss." Ji Xingxuan took the paper ball and quickly looked behind her. However, she could only see a short figure sneaking into the crowd not far away and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Instead of letting the maid chase after her, she opened the paper ball and flicked it.  Exhibition, it says: "Going south, there is a blind old beggar on the road. Take the red string in your hand and quietly put it in the broken bowl in front of him. Step back five steps and wait for a moment.  You can get what you want.  , Ji Xingxuan thought to himself: Sure enough, the anonymous person holding Yi Zi's test paper refused to meet him face to face for fear of her identity being revealed.  Now she was curious. How did the other party plan to take away the disaster stone in her hand without showing up, and how did he exchange the test paper with her? Could it be that the man was holding the empty glove from the beginning?  plan?  She frowned secretly, put the paper ball into her sleeve with great caution, and told the maid a few words, asking her to notify the nursing home in the dark and pay attention to the beggar later.  After a while, when the maid came back to ventilate her breath, Ji Xingxuan walked into the street in the south of the road. With one step, she was from the north of the city to the south of the city.  People in Anling say that Qianyuan Street is divided into south and north, separated by only one street. It has two scenes, the north is well-organized, and the south is bustling with people. Changchunfang was originally a vegetable market, and there were farmers in the early morning.  When selling in the city, there are only a few winter vegetables, such as green vegetables, pineapples and radishes, which are placed on the ground. Many people living in the north of the city buy them here, so this street is always lively during the day.  of.  There were more and more pedestrians on the street. Ji Xingxuan had a maid walking in front to clear the way to avoid friction with her peers, but the crowding still made her feel a little uncomfortable. Among the crowd behind her, several nursing staff followed.  She searched both sides of the road carefully, and after walking about a few steps, she saw the blind beggar mentioned in the letter at the foot of the side wall of a bun shop. The old man had gray hair and a haggard expression, and he was hunched against the wall.  He was in tatters, with a dirty black cloth covering his eyes. He was undoubtedly a blind man. There was also a broken pottery bowl in front of him, with only three or five copper coins in it.  Last year, there was a drought in the north, and there were many beggars who had fled to Anling City. In Changchun Square, there were many women buying vegetables and meat, and they were very compassionate, so there were more beggars than elsewhere.  In the alley behind the beggar, there were four or five flowers squatting, some big and some small. They all wore thin clothes and had their heads curled up to keep out the cold.  Ji Xingxuan stopped in front of the blind old beggar, with a little pity in his eyes. He untied his purse, bent down, and put a piece of silver into the bowl in front of him. He fumbled in the purse again and took out the piece of silver she had specially untied before going out in the morning.  He squeezed the disaster-proofing stone in his hand, and after a brief hesitation, he put it in gently.  Seeing this scene, several flowers under the wall not far away brightened their eyes at the same time. They raised their heads and looked at the old beggar's broken bowl. Some were greedy, some were greedy, and some showed a hint of ridicule.  Ji Xingxuan placed the beads and stood up, keeping her eyes on the broken begging bowl. She stepped back step by step and stopped after taking five steps. Whenever a pedestrian passed in front of her, she would be more vigilant. Several guards quietly dispersed and stood.  Open and protect Ji Xingxuan so that he can be arrested later.  Ji Xingxuan felt at ease knowing that there were people following him around. If the other person had the ability to take things away without showing up in front of so many people, he would become a ghost.  At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and there was a "boom" of thunder, which made the whole street scream. Ji Xingxuan was also struck by the thunder.She was startled by the sound, and when she was distracted for a moment, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky - "Crack!" As soon as she touched it with her peripheral vision, she saw at this moment several flowers squatting at the entrance of the alley.  , one by one rushed towards the old beggar at the base of the wall, scrambling to stretch out his hands, aiming at the broken bowl at his feet. The short little flower boy in front used his dexterity to hug the broken bowl.  If you are in your arms, you have to get into the crowd in front!     not good!  This sudden situation made Ji Xingxuan's expression change. She didn't need to shout. Several nurses in the crowd had already taken action. One by one, they pushed aside the crowd to chase the little flower child. However, the heavy rain suddenly fell, and the streets were full of people running around.  Pedestrians hiding from the rain, pushing and shoving, have become invisible obstacles, making it difficult for several grown men to chase a child.  "Stop!" "Don't run!" The little Huazi ran with his head in a hurry. He accidentally bumped into someone and almost sat on the ground. Fortunately, the other party Zhong took him and gave him a hand. The little Huazi used his strength to stand firm and held his hand.  A black handprint was left on Bai Shengsheng's sleeve. Unexpectedly, the cuff flew past the bowl in his hand. When he heard the sound of chasing behind him, he ran away again with his head down.  Standing on the noisy street in the heavy rain, Ji Xingxuan's eyelids twitched for a while. He was afraid that he would lose the disaster-proof stone, so he took the maid and chased south together.  The rain became heavier in an instant, and she was separated from the maid not long after running. The fluff on the collar of the cloak was soaked, and clung pitifully to her slender neck. She shivered, and was caught behind her again.  She bumped into a pedestrian rushing to take shelter from the rain. She slipped and fell on the road. "Hiss¡ª¡ª" The stinging pain from her knees and palms made her face pale. She tried to stand up, but found that her legs were twisted and the heavy rain  The rain poured down on her forehead, the veil stuck to her face, and a few strands of hair were messed up. The gazes of passers-by made her look away in embarrassment, and lowered her wet eyelashes. She was no longer so embarrassed.  However, at this moment, the cold wind suddenly stopped and the sudden rain stopped. She raised the back of her hand to wipe the rain from her eyes. She saw a pair of semi-wet black boots and white trousers. Looking up, she saw a hand holding an umbrella.  , and a blurry face under a bamboo hat that cannot be seen clearly.  "Here you go." Ji Xingxuan glanced in a daze and subconsciously reached out to take the umbrella handle. The other party let go of the umbrella handle at the same time, straightened up, turned around, and walked past her. His soap robe gently brushed her shoulder.  .  She hurriedly turned her head to look, but the white figure had disappeared from the crowd.  "Miss, miss!" This anxious shout brought her back to her senses and she responded. The maid squeezed through the crowd and hurriedly helped her stand up from the ground.  "Miss, are you injured anywhere?" Ji Xingxuan grabbed her hand and asked, "Where is the person, have you caught him?" "They have all gone after him, and they will definitely not let anyone run away. Don't worry, go back to the sedan first.  Come on." The maid persuaded in a bitter voice. Although Ji Xingxuan was anxious but afraid of losing the topaz, she also knew that she could not help here, so she nodded and handed her the oil-paper umbrella in her hand.  "It was fine when I went out, but why did it suddenly start raining? Miss, where did you get the umbrella?" "It was just now-" Ji Xingxuan answered, raising her head, her voice paused, because she saw the umbrella stand,  A small bamboo tube tied with red rope.  She took it off suspiciously and played with it in her hand. She soon discovered that the two-finger-thick bamboo tube could be unscrewed. After pulling out the head, the thing stuffed inside was revealed. Her face tightened, and when she took it out, she saw it turned yellow.  Old paper, footsteps suddenly stopped.  "This is" Yunhua Yizi's test paper!  "Miss, Miss?" Ji Xingxuan took a long breath, her hands trembling slightly, and rerolled the questionable paper, which she tried several times before stuffing it back into the bamboo tube. She should have been happy that the other party kept the promise, but in her mind  The white shadow holding an umbrella passed by, but he was a little angry and clenched the small bamboo tube with a red rope.  The rain was still falling. The disheveled Yu Shu squatted under the eaves of the alley to hide from the rain. When he saw Chen Chen's figure appearing in the street, he smiled and took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms. He used his sleeves to cover them and turned around to grab the old beggar next to him.  Putting his hand on it, he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Uncle, I've put it away. If you're hungry, take a few and buy some steamed buns to eat. Don't let anyone see you." "Ah, you, who are you?" "Hehe,  I'm the one who wants to thank you." After saying that, he left the blind old beggar fumbling with the string of coins with a surprised look on his face. He waved his hand towards Jing Chen and pointed to the alley behind him, gesturing for him to follow him.  The two of them entered the deserted alley one after another. Yu Shu looked around before stopping and approaching Jing Chen. He opened his eyes wide with expectation and asked excitedly: "How is it?"Have you started?  " The rain was still falling. Jing Chen unzipped the hat string on his chin with one hand, took off his hat, and put it on top of her head to block the water droplets falling from the eaves. Then he reached into his arms with his left hand to pick it up and handed it to her.  Spread it out in front of her. ".¡§" Yu Shu looked at his empty palm, his mouth wide open, "Haha.  " However, with a chuckle, the palm shook slightly, and a watery yellow bead suddenly appeared in the palm. Yu Shu glared, and slapped his shoulder with his hands. The big stone in his heart finally fell, and he was excited.  Either crying or laughing, ¡°You¡¯re kidding me!  "·Ä
