Taibai into the moon

Chapter 143 The Starry Night

The eyes of a child are so pure, like the stars at night...

After Yun Qichen and Huairou left, he sat alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the bright moon hanging high in the sky.Unknowingly, I remembered Zhang Sheng from a long time ago.

"Hey, foreigners are welcome, it's easy to do." Qiao Fan knew that it was exam time recently, and many candidates came to this place.

Qiao Fan didn't care who they were or what they came for, only cared about their troubles.

"Little devil!" A man called Qiao Fan, "Don't attract the attention of scholars these days."

Qiao Fan shook her head, ignored his advice with disdain, and said to herself, this is the jewelry buyer again, if I don't buy his stones, I will be nagging me all day long.

Qiao Fan walked all the way, and took a bunch of candied haws while the boss was not paying attention, so that he looked more like a harmless child.

Qiao Fan actually came out today to buy salt at the gate of the city, not to say that he had to travel so far, but that the store was cheap, so he probably wouldn’t go there for others, but Qiao Fan is a 12-year-old kid, so he’s free.

Qiao Fan's mother died when he was seven or eight years old. He is alive because he is a genius.

As soon as Qiao Fan arrived at the city gate, the salt seller was about to close.Qiao Fan bought salt, and saw a man thanking the guard at the door, looking very grateful.

Qiao Fan wasn't interested at first, but he saw the money bag on his body.

The man was tall and thin, and young, that is, less than 20 years old.Qiao Fan followed on tiptoe, until the man was attracted by something, and was about to tear off the money bag when he went up.

But Qiao Fan didn't expect Zhang Sheng to tie the money bag around his waist, and Zhang Sheng was startled by the fact that he didn't pull it off.

Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at Qiao Fan, "You...you...a thief!"

Qiao Fan frowned at him, thinking that this person is not short-hearted, right?Qiao Fan had a blade on his cuff, and while Zhang Sheng was in a daze, he slashed at the purse, grabbed it and ran away.

Zhang Sheng didn't expect that he would have such a move, so he immediately chased after him.

"stop!!"

Qiao Fan ran fast, listening to the shouts behind him.

Zhang Sheng was originally a frail scholar, and he had a pile of books on his back. Qiao Fan thought he would not be able to catch up with him for long, and since he was familiar with this place, it stands to reason that he would drop it soon.

Who knew that Qiao Fan had already run a long way this time, almost halfway around the town, and was still chasing after him.

"This...what's wrong with this person..." Zhang Sheng turned around a corner, hid in and took a few breaths before running in.

Zhang Sheng's parents are getting old, and he didn't do the work in any year. If it wasn't for the fields this year, they wouldn't be able to come so late this year.So it's okay for him to run after a child.

Qiao Fan kept running and running, but he couldn't run anymore, so he stopped running

He stopped and panted in place.

"You..." Qiao Fan pointed at Zhang Sheng, and said in a very complicated way, "Can you catch up, if you can't catch up, then...don't chase, if you can catch up, hurry up!"

"You...you hurry up and return the money bag to me!" Zhang Sheng stretched out his hand.

Qiao Fan ripped open the money bag angrily, wanting to see how much money he had, but he was dumbfounded when he saw it, and it was only a mere two or two taels of money, "I said, you are worth the money like crazy Chasing me for so long?"

Zhang Sheng took back the money bag and looked at Qiao Fan with complicated eyes.Qiao Fan couldn't see what was wrong with him, and said after a while.

"It may not be a lot of money to you, but this money is for me to rush for the exam. I will take the exam at a later date. I have to use it for living and eating."

Qiao Fan was dumbfounded when he heard that.

"As far as I know, you have to take the exam for three days, don't tell me you can stay for three days with these two taels of money. Now all the inns are probably full, and there must be no ordinary rooms. You can't afford Tianzi No. [-], right? ?” Qiao Fan recovered his strength, “Even if there are still vacancies, it’s no wonder they don’t open their mouths if you’re worried.”

After Zhang Sheng heard Qiao Fan's words, he was a little skeptical.

Although Qiao Fan is not an ordinary good boy, he still has a temper.Seeing that Zhang Sheng didn't believe it, Qiao Fan pointed to the inn beside him, "There is one here, if you don't believe me, ask."

Zhang Sheng was dubious about a child, so he went to the store to ask.

Qiao Fan was leaning against the wall. Is there anyone here who is more familiar than him, but Qiao Fan still stopped to see this person... it was funny.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Sheng came out a little disgraced.

"How is it?" Qiao Fan asked, picking his teeth.

Zhang Sheng nodded helplessly, "What should we do now?"

Qiao Fan wanted to laugh at him at first, but seeing the helplessness on Zhang Sheng's face, he suddenly remembered how helpless he was when his mother died a few years ago.

No one can help him, no one will help him.

Qiao Fan looked at Zhang Sheng, and finally sighed helplessly, "If you are not afraid that I will steal your things, then you can come home with me."

"What?" Zhang Sheng was actually thinking about whether to go to the firewood room to make do.

"I said, do you want to go home with me?" Qiao Fan pointed to herself, and then said, "I have no one else at home, so I won't disturb your exam."

Qiao Fan saw that Zhang Sheng was hesitant, so he said, "You are really a sour scholar, hurry up, don't charge money."

Zhang Sheng was dragged away by Qiao Fan, not far away, just a stick of incense.

"Your home is your own?"

Looking at the rich family in front of him, Zhang Sheng couldn't help hesitating.

"How many times do you have to ask this question along the way?" Qiao Fan pushed open the door impatiently, "It's not for an exam, but there is a table and a bed in that room, go study."

Zhang Sheng quickly put the book in the room, and then came out and said, "Kid, let me cook."

Qiao Fan took Yan's hand and said, "You know how to cook? And who do you call...child?"

"puff."

Zhang Sheng could tell that this was just a mischievous brat.

But cooking can be regarded as paying the rent, "I cook delicious food, if you don't believe me, you can try it later."

So Qiao Fan was driven to the porch to sit and watch him busy in the kitchen.

Qiao Fan couldn't help being a little amused. He obviously went out to steal something, so why did he bring one back, and it also includes food and lodging?

Qiao Fan didn't know what was wrong with him, but only knew that the dishes served by Zhang Sheng were delicious.

"I'll go, this is really delicious." Qiao Fan praised while eating, "Let me think about what to eat tomorrow."

Zhang Sheng rested his chin on one hand, and looked at the child in front of him absent-mindedly, "I'm not lying to you, what's your name, child?"

Cannibalism has a short mouth... Qiao Fan thought to himself, so he didn't pay any attention to the name of child.

"Qiao Fan." Qiao Fan said casually, "There are trees in the south, Qiao, prosperous Fan."

"Prosperous and prosperous, coincidentally, my name is Zhang Sheng." Zhang Sheng smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Prosperous and prosperous."

Qiao Fan took a bite of the dish and said, "The name is very good, hurry up and eat, I can clean up."

After they had dinner, Zhang Sheng still asked Qiao Fan why he wanted to steal things, because he looked very skilled.

"Then you don't know." Qiao Fan wiped the plate and put it in the basket, and yawned, "I'm the best at stealing things here."

Zhang Sheng smiled brightly, "That's really powerful, then I have already caught up with you, so am I even stronger?"

Qiao Fan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Sheng to say that.After a long time, Qiao Fan returned to normal, and said, "I'm sleepy, go to bed early, I have something to do tomorrow."

Qiao Fan pretended nothing happened and ran back to the room, pulled up the quilt and went to the bed.

"Is he crazy?" Qiao Fan lay on his side, "I'm stealing money, not running a race."

Qiao Fan scratched his head, "Sleep!"
