Chapter 1282 - 401 Abnormality, Yanyan’s Crisis_4
The others had no objections and each returned to their rooms to pack up their valuables before heading out of the inn, onto the busy street.
The not-so-spacious street was brimming with pedestrians, appearing somewhat crowded, and amusingly, few men were to be seen. Mo Qingze didn’t have the heart to squeeze into the crowd of women, so he found a tea house and slipped in, claiming it was to find a place for his wife and daughters to rest their feet.
The mother and her daughters had already been captivated by some novel trinkets on the street, so they didn’t mind that their husband (father) had run off halfway through. Mo Yan took out the small change of silver and copper coins she had exchanged in advance, distributed them to her mother and two sisters, and bought all the small items that caught their eye.
These things were not expensive, especially the children’s toys, which were very cheap—one or two pieces of silver could almost buy out an entire stall. They shopped happily, not minding the silver spent.
Peach Blossom Town was indeed not large, and they strolled from the head of the street to the end. Even though they deliberately slowed down, it still took them only half an hour to finish their walk. Feeling thirsty, the mother and daughters decided to have a cup of tea at a tea house and then hire a guide to take them somewhere fun nearby.
"Mother, there’s someone selling honey sugar over there. I’m going to buy some; you take my sisters to the tea house first," Mo Yan said, standing amidst the crowded throng of people, spotting an old man at the end of the street who was tapping on an iron piece.
Cui Qingrou had tasted honey sugar before and was quite fond of the sweet yet slightly bitter cubes with a burnt aroma, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead, we’ll wait for you in the tea house."
Mo Yan felt the purse at her waist that held the small change of silver, making sure she had enough to buy the sugar, then headed towards the end of the street. As she was about to reach the sugar vendor, a strange-sounding voice reached her ears.
