Her mood finally improved, and her complexion softened, "Who is the highest person in this city?"

He looked at her in a daze, not squeaking, and his expression was two points dull.

Isn't Mo a stupid thing, he only acts on instinct?The woman in red frowned: "You don't know?"

Still no response.

"Where is the City Lord's Mansion, you always know, right?" The highest status in a small city is either the city lord or the gentry. This little beggar is a local, begging for food until he is seven or eight years old and not starving to death, must know everything about the layout of the city, "Take me and I'll give you another section of the curse." As long as you read it obediently, this evil will not follow you. How, it's easy, isn't it?"

The little beggar looked sideways at her, rolled his eyes, and shook his head again.

She froze: "Speak! Just shake your head and nod, the devil knows what you mean!"

Isn't she a ghost? The little beggar looked down at the ground. She walked barefoot, her little snow-white feet were even, and she couldn't find a single flaw, but the soles of her feet were still half an inch above the ground, and they had never touched it at all.

She's dirty.

What creature but a ghost can float like this?

When the woman in red saw his gaze, she knew that he had discovered his abnormality, and she couldn't help but snort softly, secretly strange. Encountering such a series of strange things tonight, ordinary people will be frightened and bald, this little ghost can still be distracted to look at her feet carefully, is he missing a root in his brain or too bold?

"I'm not a ghost...... she was impatient, and took out a hanging copper coin, "Okay, you go to the city lord's mansion for a trip, and the money will be yours, how about it?" Is it a beggar, either asking for money or food, and this little guy can't pounce on him and thank him for a thousand thanks?

But the little beggar did not blink, but took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and put it away in front of her.

This is telling her that he has five taels of silver!

But he had two minas of silver, which the man had given him before. But he doesn't want to show it all, what if he is snatched away by this woman?

The woman in red choked, and finally saw a little disdain on his face.

Nima, she was actually disgusted by a beggar!

Anger appeared on her face, and the raindrops that fell around her suddenly flew diagonally outward, as if they had been pushed away at once. When the little beggar saw this, he immediately jumped to stand under the eaves by the roadside, so that he would not be watered again.

When the woman in red saw his behavior, she knew that he was planning to "bargain" with her. After only a few breaths, this kid seemed to have escaped from the tension of running for his life.

But she had just woken up, and she didn't have these things with her, and the money and silver in her hand were all taken from the dead man. Those two men in black came out on a mission, and they had very little money on them, and they didn't even weigh five taels in this kid's hand!

He deserves to be a poor ghost on Huangquan Road.

"Alright, let's make a deal. The woman in red looked at him from beginning to end again, "You give the bell away as I requested, and I will invite you to the best restaurant in the city to have a big meal, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, you can order whatever you want." Seeing the little beggar showing fascination, her voice became more charming, and it was not worse than when she dealt with the two men in black, "Think of braised fish, sauce elbow, nine turns of fat sausage, adzuki bean cold cake, and two cups of sherbet!

She was sure that the little beggar had never heard of real delicacies, and only chose the most ordinary dishes to impress him, and sure enough, when she said the name of a dish, she saw him swallow his saliva, and the corners of his mouth finally rose.

One meal can be bought, and children just don't know it.

"Alright, lead the way. Her voice was soft, like a spring in a mountain stream, "I will never break my word, and I will definitely do it if I promise you." ”

The little beggar looked up at her.

At his age, he couldn't tell how thrilling her beauty was, he only knew that she was standing in such a torrential rain, but the green silk and clothes were not wet, and she should have a very powerful ability.

So when the woman in red asked again, he finally opened his mouth:

"Ahh

The voice was thick and hoarse, like a crow's cry, and there was no clear voice of a child's voice.

The woman in red's heart jumped, but her face changed color: "What are you doing!"

The little beggar made two more "ahs" in succession, of different lengths, but equally harsh.

The woman in red suddenly felt black in front of her.

"You're a mute!" she glared at him in disbelief, her phoenix eyes suddenly turned into apricot eyes, "how can you be mute!"

If you are dumb, you can't pronounce the dissolving spell, and you can't sever the connection between him and the bell. Then she's, she's ...... Can't get rid of this stinky boy!

The little beggar spread his hands and looked innocent.

Who wants to be dumb themselves?

She couldn't help but paced around the alley twice, and came up with another solution: "Otherwise, a contract will have the same effect." As soon as he raised his hand, a document appeared at his fingertips.

The paper glowed with a faint red light, and the little beggar could see that the words on it were rapidly being generated.

He doesn't know supernatural powers, and naturally he doesn't know how great this hand is.

"I've already prepared the content. She pushed the deed paper in front of him, "You just need to sign and draw the pledge to take effect." Well, do you know how to draw a fingerprint?"

This piece of paper looks very expensive, and there is even a faint gold pattern on the surface, it must be very valuable, right? The little beggar stared blankly, and even leaned over and sniffed twice.

There is a faint fragrance, light, but it smells good.

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help but shrink, conjuring a brush out of nowhere and stuffing it into his hand, "Sign it quickly!"

The little beggar grabbed the pen, raised his hand, made two virtual gestures on the deed paper, and suddenly shook his head vigorously at her.

"How......" This time she only said one word and then there was no follow-up.

She saw the way he held the pen, and he actually clenched his fist, as if he was holding a knife!

Can someone who can write like this?

"You can't write?" she didn't control herself, her voice raised an octave, "you can't read?"

Before the dwarf could shake her head again, she was already holding her forehead, and her chest was clogged. It must be that I have slept for too long, and my brain is not flexible when I just woke up. In this world, even most civilians don't know how to write, and those who can go to the school have family backgrounds. This kid is a beggar, he can't eat enough, and he can't wear warm clothes, how can anyone teach him to read and break words!

She laughed angrily: "I can't speak, I can't write, it's like a waste, what else can you do!"

The little beggar pursed his lips. There are a few words in this sentence, and the woman used to scold him countless times when she beat him hard.

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, but it was so fleeting that even the woman in red didn't notice it.

Naturally, she didn't have the time to pay attention to his little emotions now. The situation is really wonderful now, he can't say or write to lift the spell, so the wooden bell will still follow him, and so will she...... Had to follow him!

Even in the most dangerous times in the past, she never thought that she would follow a beggar!

Think again, think again, there will be a way.

She took a deep breath and snapped her fingers, and the pen and paper were gone. Then she drew close to the little beggar, and then stretched out her hand—

Before he could touch him, he jumped back, full of vigilance.

"What are you hiding? I really want to kill you, just one finger is enough. ”

The little beggar ducked further, his eyes fixed on her fingers.

She did stretch out a finger, tender and raw, like spring onions.

No one has ever avoided her like a femme fatale!The woman in red smiled, forcibly suppressing her anger: "Come here, I'll see if you can still speak." Maybe it can be cured?"

Can his illness be cured?

The little beggar was skeptical, but desire prevailed, and he slowly moved over.

She asked him, shouldn't she kill him now?

The woman in red reached out and groped around his neck, feeling his muscles tight, so she flicked twice: "Relax." ”

He had a scar on his pharynx, perhaps from a previous injury.

The little beggar immediately felt a cool and crisp numbness passing from her fingertips, penetrating deep into the tendons, tendons, and bones, not comfortable, but definitely not uncomfortable.

In a moment, she retracted her fingertips, and the strange power was gone.

"The vocal cords are damaged, and they can be cured, but it will take some time. ”

The little beggar's eyes lit up. He can also talk?

Speaking of this, the woman in red sighed in her heart. In the past, this kind of trivial matter was just a gesture, but now, she didn't have the ability to let him recover immediately, "First of all, I'll help you heal, and you give this wooden bell away according to my request-"

The little beggar looked down at the pendant on his chest and reached out to touch it. The thing was smooth and slick, and there was a throbbing that seemed to be particularly intimate with him.

There are very few people in this world who are kind to him, and he can't imagine that a dead thing is willing to be close to him.

The woman in red in front of her wanted to take the bell every minute, but why didn't she do it and only bargain with him?

Obviously she was so powerful, the two men in black died in her hands before.

He pondered for a few breaths, just in time to hear her last words: "—We will take what we need." ”

He shook his head vigorously.

"What does that mean!" the woman in red angrily stretched out her hand, wanting to stab him to death with one finger. There is such an annoying imp in the world!

But when the hand reached halfway through, it stopped, and clenched it tightly into a fist.

She couldn't hurt the owner of the bell, and she couldn't even confuse him with a supernatural power Gu!

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and a group of soldiers in bright armor rushed past the alley, looking solemn.

Immediately after that, another team.

It was the city defenders, and the little beggar even recognized a few familiar faces inside.

Something happened in the city?

Thinking of the man who handed him the wooden bell, he frowned.

"Hey......" the woman in red called him again, and then he heard a strange voice:

Gollum – Gurgling –

The sound was not loud, but her ears were so good that she could distinguish it in the loud rain.

The little beggar rubbed his belly, and there was nothing unusual on his face. Normally, at this time, he sleeps in a deserted garden, but today he encountered a series of accidents, and traveled through most of the city, and the little inventory in his stomach has long been exhausted.

But he was used to starving.

"Poor thing, I'm so hungry!" the woman in red jumped up the wall and looked into the distance, "I see that there are two brightly lit restaurants a hundred feet away. The business is so good, and the skills of the chef are very good. ”

She looked at him with a smile, even if she was inadvertent, her eyes were sparkling: "You have money on you, why don't you go to Meimei for a meal?"

Hearing the word "roast chicken", the little beggar swallowed his saliva, scratched his neck again, and his eyes drifted in that direction.

He knew the location of the two restaurants, and he had eaten the food there—of course, not Zhengda Guangming walked in, but fought with the cats and dogs in the back alley of the restaurant for leftovers.

The corners of the woman in red's mouth raised slightly. A child who is only a few years old, and she has never eaten anything good, she doesn't believe that this little ghost is not impressed.

However, it is not a good thing for a stinky person to suddenly have money. He dared to go to the restaurant to show his silver, and eighty percent of the store reported him as a thief. When he got into more trouble, he naturally had to ask her for help. At that point, she asked to terminate the contract!

However, the little beggar looked there a few times, and then turned and left.

Walk neatly and without nostalgia.

“...... Don't you want to have a full meal?" her tone was already a little resentful.

The little beggar ran dozens of steps before turning his head to look at her.

Even if she writes disgust on her face, she still follows him. Don't?

He spread his hand and strode forward, not looking at her again.

The woman in red gently lifted the lotus step and followed him forward, with a graceful demeanor, like he splashed mud spots all over his body as soon as he stepped on his legs? But her face was full of displeasure, and she didn't bother to speak at this time.

It's really not interesting for a person to talk to himself.

The rest of the way was silent, except for the sound of rain.

For the little beggar, his world used to be so quiet, but now there is an extra spectator around him.

......

Half an hour later, they walked into an alley.

Unlike the dark alley in front, every house here is lit up, and it is obvious that there are people living there. A few more dogs rushed out and barked at the little beggar.

The woman in red was in a bad mood and glared at them, and the dogs whined and jumped back with their tails between their legs.

There are often elderly people sitting in front of the houses, but it rains tonight, and there is no one. Despite this, the little beggar walked to the bottom of the alley before going around in a circle and walking to the end alley.

The back door of the house is mostly open to this place.

The woman in red saw him sneak up in front of a black door, and out of nowhere she touched a small stone and threw it into the wall.

"Click", the stone hit the tile of the main house, and it was still crisp in the sound of rain.

If there are people, it is time to come out and see the situation, which is called throwing stones and asking for directions.

However, after more than a dozen breaths, there was no movement in the door.

The little beggar threw the stone again, but still received no response, so he looked around, and then climbed the wall and climbed in.

Don't look at him short, his skills are not worse than monkeys. The woman in red pursed her lips, and secretly said that she was a habitual thief, and she had turned over the wall so sophisticated.

Behind the door is a small yard, and the open space is planted with greens, but the cauliflower has not been picked more than a palm high, and it is obvious that the owner has been away for a while.

The main house was locked, and the little beggar didn't bother to pry it open. But the woman in red floated in through the crack in the door and circled around.

When the little beggar saw this scene, she was even more sure that she was a ghost.
