When the man at the side heard this, he hurriedly praised, “Your idea is really good. In a while, we’ll each carry a child and run in different directions. Let’s see how he chases after us.’
“We’ll act according to the situation later. Don’t fail!”
“I know, I know. It’s not my first time doing such a thing. How can I fail?”
Su Ze, He Qingyao, and He Qingmu did not know that danger was approaching them. Because the two little guys were studying recently, Su Ze wanted to learn more too, so they planned to go to the bookshop to buy some books, paper, ink, and brushes.
Su Ze asked the shop assistant in the shop to let Su Li know when she came down later so that Su Li would be able to find them later.
The shop assistant recognized them and hurriedly nodded in agreement. Su Ze led He Qingyao and He Qingmu out.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu were jumping around, looking here and there!
Not far away, someone was performing. He was breaking rocks on his chest.
A huge rock was placed on his chest. With a hammer strike, the rock shattered, but he was still all well.
“Good, good, good-” The onlookers started clapping. The performer said, “Next, we’ll show everyone how I swallow a long sword.”
“Alright, hurry up. We haven’t had our fill yet!”
“Exactly, exactly.”
The performer walked around in front of the crowd with something that contained silver. “Everyone, if you have money, please support us with money. If you don’t, tipping us will be our greatest gift. We will bring you an even more exciting performance next.”
Some people came from wealthy families and gave some to them. Some people just wanted to watch the show. When they saw them coming over to ask for money, they turned their faces away and pretended not to see them.
After a round, there were also some silver pieces in the bowl. The performers were not too happy when they saw the money in the bowl. After working so hard, they only had so little money. These people were really too stingy. They only wanted to watch the performance for free and could not bear to take out a single cent.
Although he was a little displeased, he didn’t show it. After all, he still had to rely on this to make a living in the future. If he offended everyone, it would be troublesome if no one came to watch his performance in the future.
Seeing that he didn’t move, the onlookers shouted, “I’ve given you the money.
Can you start the sword-swallowing performance now? We’re waiting.”
“That’s right. Hurry up. I still have to go shopping later.”
He Qingmu saw that it was lively over there. From time to time, there would be exclamations and clapping. He could not help but look over.
After walking a little, he stopped. He wanted to go over and take a look.
Su Ze realized that he had stopped moving. He turned to look at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He Qingmu pointed over and said, “Uncle, look at how lively it is over there. It seems like someone is performing over there. Should we go over and take a look?”
Su Ze also saw the lively crowd over there and knew that they rarely went out. He definitely hadn’t seen such a lively scene before. He thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let’s go over and take a look.”
“Yay, Uncle, you’re the best uncle in the world!” He Qingmu jumped up in excitement when he heard this.
Su Ze said, “But you have to follow me obediently. You can’t let go of my hand, do you hear me?”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu quickly nodded and said, “Yes yes, we’ll definitely hold Uncle’s hand tightly and not let go.”
Satisfied, Su Ze held their hands and walked over.
The people who had been observing Su Ze and the others knew that their chance had come when they saw them running over to watch the performance. It was normal for people to push each other when there was so many people. It was not impossible to create an accident when the time came.
“They’ve gone over. Can we take action now?”
“Wait a minute!”
“Wait? What if they leave later? Shouldn’t we take this opportunity to attack quickly?”
“Are you stupid or are you really stupid? Our people haven’t arrived yet. Won’t it be easier to wait for them to help us create obstacles?”
“Didn’t they say that they wouldn’t come? They said to let the two of us think of a way ourselves this time round!”
“Hmph! If they don’t come and the mission fails, whose fault will it be? It would be a pity if such a good deal fails.”
“Then let’s wait a little longer. If they don’t come soon, we’ll attack.”
He did not have the patience to wait for too long. If anything happened midway, they might be annoyed to death.
Su Ze pushed through the crowd and pulled He Qingyao and He Qingmu to the innermost area.
The person who was pushed away by them was dissatisfied. “What are you doing? Don’t you know that it’s first come, first served? If you want to watch, don’t you know to come earlier?”
“That’s right. My good position is now gone because of you. What kind of person are you!”
“Get in the back and give me back my place!”
Su Ze turned a blind eye to those dissatisfied voices. He had squeezed in with his own ability, so why should he return it?
“Uncle?” He Qingyao looked up and asked.
Su Ze said, “Don’t worry about them. Just watch your show.”
The people who were pushed aside ran to the side while cursing. They were really unlucky to have met Su Ze and the children today.
The performer was currently peforming the act of spewing fire. A ball of fire spewed out of that person’s mouth. The onlookers were stunned. When they reacted, everyone applauded.
“Good, good, good-
He Qingyao and He Qingmu broke free from Su Ze’s grip and clapped their hands excitedly.
Su Ze shook his head helplessly. Although his eyes were focused on the performance, his peripheral vision was fixed on He Qingyao and He Qingmu.
This performance was indeed very exciting. He Qingyao and He Qingmu were engrossed in it and had no intention of leaving.
Soon, the fire-breathing performance was about to end. The performer walked over with a bowl filled with money and began to ask everyone for money.
Su Ze did not want to spend money. He said to He Qingyao and He Qingmu, “Alright, you’ve seen the fun. Can you follow me somewhere else now?”
He Qingmu was a little reluctant. He hadn’t had enough yet. He tried to negotiate, “Uncle, why don’t we watch for a while longer? Just a while!” Continue watching?
Su Ze glared at him and refused. “No, we’ve already watched for a while. If we don’t go now, your mother will be here.”
He Qingmu said, “Then isn’t it good for us to go with my mother? Moreover, I heard that the things in the bookshop are very expensive, especially the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Do we have enough money to buy them?”
When Su Ze heard He Qingmu’s words, he couldn’t help but touch the money bag. His sister had specially given it to him before he left. At that time, he refused to accept it because he had some money in his pocket to begin with. He felt that it was enough to spend. Now, it seemed that his sister was too smart to even think of this.
Su Ze said, “Don’t worry. Uncle is rich..”
