During the Lantern Festival, Xuchang is decorated with red and colorful lanterns everywhere, and big red lanterns are hung on tree branches, swaying back and forth with the evening breeze. Pedestrians on the street were walking around, chatting happily around the food on the roadside stalls. From time to time, there would be a burst of loud laughter, echoing in the lively streets. Mu Shan grabbed Xiao Pingsheng's hand and said: "Son, please hold on tight to me, otherwise I will be abducted by human traffickers, and you will not be able to return home!" "If you can't return home, do you have to go to someone else's house?" Xiao Ping Sheng raised his head, stared at his big black eyes, and asked curiously: "Can I go to a richer family? I heard that Cao Hong's family is the richest in Xuchang. How about abducting me?" Let¡¯s go to his house!¡± ¡°You brat, you¡¯re crazy about money!¡± Mu Shan stretched out his other hand, pinched Xiao Pingsheng¡¯s plump cheeks, and said, ¡°The traffickers won¡¯t let you enjoy your life. At that time, they sold you to a poor family like the youngest. From then on, every day before dawn, you had to get up and fill a basin with water, chop wood and pick up manure. Also, you would not have chicken legs or elbows to eat, so you would have to Eating dry and hard steamed buns" "No, no" Under Mu Shan's intimidation, Xiao Pingsheng's face was smeared like a steamed bun, and he shouted frantically: "I hate human traffickers, I don¡¯t want to go to the youngest¡¯s house!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. If you are afraid, hold on to your hand and don¡¯t get lost. Also, if others give you delicious food, don¡¯t take it, and don¡¯t follow others casually. Let¡¯s go, got it!¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Xiao Pingsheng nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said with a serious face: ¡°Then can I steal her candied haws?¡± ¡°¡What are you talking about, naughty kid! "Mu Shan slapped Xiao Pingsheng on the head and said to Cao Hong, who was looking strangely across from him: "Zilian, what a coincidence! You also brought Ling Qianjin out to relax!" "Well, Shi'er is frail and sick. , I usually stay bored in the house, and I¡¯m afraid that she¡¯ll make me bored, so I took her out to relax during the Lantern Festival tonight.¡± Cao Hong, who had a square face and short beard, replied, ¡°I¡¯ve heard about you from Meng De a long time ago. There is, uh, an extraordinary child. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation!¡± Before she finished speaking, Cao Hong's daughter started sobbing softly, causing Mu Shan and Cao Hong to look at her. Soon, Mu Shan¡¯s eyes moved back from the candied haws in Cao Shi¡¯s hand, which was missing two candied haws, and landed on Xiao Pingsheng¡¯s swollen cheeks, wanting to find a crack in the ground to get in. Just now he said that he would not be like a bandit, but he didn¡¯t expect that this kid would start acting like a bandit in the blink of an eye, and he also robbed a girl¡¯s two candied haws of sugar "You naughty kid, don¡¯t look at me. I'll beat you to death!" Mu Shan held Xiao Pingsheng under his arm and slapped his chubby butt. He scolded him angrily: "Look at your ability, you even dare to snatch my sister's things. The Mu family has been completely embarrassed by you!¡± ¡°Brother Mu, forget it, it¡¯s just two candied haws!¡± Cao Hong waved his hand and said generously: ¡°There is a candied haws hawker over there, let¡¯s go over there. Just buy two bunches. Shi'er, please thank you Uncle Mu. When you go to Uncle Mu's restaurant, my little brother will definitely treat you to a lot of delicious food!" The little girl's cheeks were red, and she didn't know it was because of fear! He was shy when meeting strangers, or because of Cao Hong's shameless words, and said timidly: "Thank you, Uncle Mu!" Everyone said that Cao Hong was famous for being picky, but he didn't expect that it was really like this. It was just two candied haws, and he actually wanted to Take this opportunity to rip off! "Where, where, it should be!" The corner of Mu Shan's mouth twitched slightly, but no one accepted the gift from this little girl who was about five or six years old, and was too embarrassed to refuse: "Zilian's daughter She is so cute, she will definitely be a beautiful woman in the future! " "Wow!" Xiao Pingsheng spit out the core of the candied haws in his mouth and stared at Cao Hong with disdain, "Brothers from the Cao family say you are stingy. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. I just ate two candied haws of apples from you. Not only do I want to accompany you, but I also have to pay for your daughter's food and drink in the future. I won't do it unless she becomes my wife. You expect me to make a loss-making business" "Little ancestor, you really dare to say anything! "Shut up!" Mu Shan quickly pressed Xiao Pingsheng's mouth to prevent him from saying more unpleasant words. Looking at Cao Hong, whose face was getting darker and darker, he smiled awkwardly: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji. This naughty kid hasn¡¯t even grown up yet, so he doesn¡¯t know what a wife is. Let¡¯s go over there and have something to eat and have a good chat.¡± He muttered: "You naughty kid, don't talk nonsense again. Did you hear me? Be careful when you go back."?Your board! " Xiao Pingsheng said with an innocent face: "Go and tell me what's wrong. I just tell the truth! "Mu Shan carefully looked at Cao Shi's cheeks and saw a faint black energy lingering on her Yintang: "Zilian, does Ling Qianjin often wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble sleeping? " Cao Hong was surprised and said: "How did Brother Mu know? " Mu Shan knelt down and said with a kind smile: "Shi'er, give your hand to uncle. " "Um! "Cao Shi slowly rolled up his sleeves and put his little hand on Mu Shan's palm. "Dad, what are you going to do! "Xiao Pingsheng saw Mu Shan's big hand slowly and continuously squeezing Cao Shi's arm, and kept moving up. He pretended to be indignant, put his hands on his hips, and said, "I'm going to tell my mother that you molested me. A little girl of five or six years old! " "Shut up! "Mu Shan gave Xiao Pingsheng a chestnut fiercely, and then pulled out the hanging jade hanging around Cao Shi's neck. His right hand began to glow with brilliant starlight, and he slowly carved on the jade pendant. After a moment, he put the jade pendant down. He replied, "Zilian, Ling Qianjin was a great person in her previous life. She did some things that will go down in history, so she owes some unpaid debts. That's why ghosts often harass her, and she can't have a moment of peace." . " Cao Hong said anxiously: "Oh, Brother Mu, is there any way to resolve this? " "I have placed a curse to ward off evil spirits on your daughter's jade pendant. As long as the jade pendant remains with you, all ghosts and ghosts will have to stay away. "Mu Shan stood up slowly and said, "But she is destined to have a calamity. Whether she can survive it safely depends on her luck! " "I dare to ask Brother Mu, who was Shi'er in his previous life? " "She is a great beauty who has conquered the country, and she also has the word "Shi" in her name! "Mu Shan said with a smile: "Zilian, it's not what I want to say to you. In the future, you should do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, so that your descendants can be blessed. No matter how much money you have, you won't be able to take it away when you close your eyes, so why bother giving it away? Taking it too seriously! " "Dad, dad, you can also tell fortunes! "Xiao Pingsheng stretched out his chubby little hand with excitement, stared at Mu Shan eagerly, and said: "Then quickly help your son do the math, and by the way, place a curse seal to drive away the bad luck and evil spirits, so that I can make money in the future. Big money, three wives and four concubines! " "What are you talking about! "Mu Shan grabbed Xiao Pingsheng's plump face, pulled it back and forth twice, and said: "You naughty kid, you were a big fat pig in your previous life, so you are lazy in this life. What kind of curse seal is there? There really is some evil spirit. Seeing you, a lawless naughty kid, you have to run away more than ten miles away! "
