Chapter 42 The forty-first village girl

The distant mountains are green and the lake is blue. The green distant mountains are reflected in the blue lake water, the blue is as green as green, and the green is as thick as blue. Guo Dalu walked slowly along the shore of the lake, like a wandering spirit, without purpose or direction. Hearing the news about Yan Qi, he wished he had wings and flew to Jinan Mansion, as if he could find Yan Qi as soon as he arrived in Jinan Mansion. Now that he has arrived in Jinan Mansion, he realizes that his thinking is really naive. This damn Jinan Mansion is really not small, there are at least thousands and hundreds of households and tens of thousands of people in the city.

To go to such a big place, with so many people looking for Yan Qi, it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. He can only wander here every day like a ghost, hoping that one day he will be lucky enough to run into Yan Qi. But even he himself knew that although this hope was too slim, no matter how slim the hope was, it was better than no hope at all. Now he can almost count the number of trees along the shore of the lake. Under the weeping willows in front, a small boat selling fresh lotus root is moored, and the little girl who rocks the boat is already very familiar with him, and she smiles at him from a distance, her smile is as bright as the sun.

Just for this sweet smile, Guo Dalu had to buy a few lotus pods. Lianzi's heart is bitter, just like Guo Dalu's heart now. Others can only buy six lotus pods for two cents of money, but Guo Dalu can buy seven or eight. This little girl wearing a bamboo hat and bare feet seems to be very interested in Guo Dalu, whenever Guo Dalu comes, she will always give two extra, and sometimes even secretly stuff a fresh lotus root. If it was in the past, Guo Dalu might have already boarded her boat, swung the boat to the middle of the lake, kissed her apple-like face, and touched her tender lotus-like white feet.

But now, Guo Dalu really does not have such a mood. He has enough troubles. He picked up the lotus pod and was about to leave, but the little girl waved to him again and said quietly: "Come here, I have something to tell you." Guo Dalu really didn't want to cause trouble, but he really couldn't bear to refuse the little girl's kindness. He sighed in his heart, and prepared to act like a big brother. If this little girl wants to ask him out for a tryst, he must teach her a lesson and tell her that men in the world are not good people. Fortunately, she met him. Otherwise, he will be fooled.

Thinking of this, he felt like a saint. It's a pity that God just didn't give him a chance to be a saint once or twice. He jumped onto the bow of the boat with only one foot, deliberately put on a straight face, and said, "What do you want to tell me?" The little girl's eyes were shining, and she whispered: "Are you a minister who disguised himself to visit the people?" Guo Dalu was stunned for a while, then he couldn't help laughing and said, "From head to toe, how do I look like a high official?" The little girl said, "Aren't you?"

Guo Dalu said: "Not only is it not, but I will tremble when I see a high official." The little girl looked even more excited and said in a lower voice, "Then you must be a great robber." Guo Dalu smiled wryly, and said: "No, I will lose money even if I am a robber." The little girl stared at him and said, "Are you really not?" Guo Dalu said: "Why should I lie to you?" The little girl sighed, looking extremely disappointed, as if she didn't even bother to talk to him anymore. It turned out that she was interested in Guo Dalu, but she thought Guo Dalu was a thief.

In the hearts of young girls, the thief is indeed more attractive than all kinds of people. Only now did Guo Dalu realize that this little girl was not really interested in him. He didn't need to worry about getting into trouble any more, he should have felt very happy in the first place. But for some reason, he felt a little disappointed, and asked unwillingly, "How do you think I look like a big thief?" The little girl's attitude had cooled down, and she said: "Because in the past two days, I always feel that there is someone watching you from behind." Guo Dalu said: "Oh, what kind of person is he?"

The little girl said: "Sometimes this man is dressed as a peddler, sometimes as a beggar, but no matter what he looks like, he can't hide it from me." Guo Dalu said: "Why?" The little girl showed a very proud look, and said, "Because I can recognize his face at a glance." Guo Dalu said: "Is there something different about his face?" The little girl nodded and said, "He's a big bastard." Guo Dalu couldn't help jumping up, even the blood seemed to flow a lot faster. The little girl looked at him, expectant eyes appeared again, and said: "Is he here to follow you? Do you recognize him?"

Guo Dalu blinked, and deliberately lowered his voice, saying: "I'm telling you the truth, you are not allowed to tell others." The little girl immediately said: "I swear I won't tell anyone else, otherwise I will become a big bastard in the future." Guo Dalu whispered: "Okay, let me tell you, that Da Ma is a famous head catcher, and he really came to spy on me." The little girl became excited again, and said, "He...why does he keep an eye on you?" Guo Dalu said in a lower voice, "Because I am indeed a big thief. Others call me 'thiefs flying all over the sky'. I have just committed seventy-eight huge cases in the capital, and I fled here to avoid the limelight."

The little girl was so excited that her whole body trembled, she bit her lip, and said, "You...are you a flower picker?" Guo Dalu held back his laughter, winked at her, and said, "Do you think I am?" The little girl's face was as hot as a freshly baked red potato, she bit her bright red lips and said, "Even if you are, I'm not afraid of you, I...I..." Her legs seemed to be a little weak, she couldn't even stand firmly, and almost fell into the water. Guo Dalu laughed, stretched out his hand to touch her face, and said, "Don't worry, even if I want to come to you, it will take another two or three years. Now you are just a child."

He laughed and walked away. The little girl looked at him, startled for a long time, she didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, she secretly touched her chest with her hand, the blush on her face had reached to the base of her ears. Guo Dalu was secretly amused, knowing that the girl must not be able to sleep tonight. He definitely didn't intend to harm her, but he just wanted to add some condiments and colors to this girl's ordinary life, so that she would be married in the future, and when he was washing the dishes with the child in his arms, there would be moments that could make her happy. Think about the memories of your own heartbeat. How many girls in the world can see with their own eyes how many live flower-picking thieves?
