The temple fair was extremely lively.

Big red lanterns are hung high in the sky, colorful ribbons are fluttering in the wind, and the festive atmosphere is everywhere.

The performances continued one after another, and the streets were crowded with small stalls on both sides.

Laughter and shouting, the tempting aroma of all kinds of food filled the air...

In order to prevent Huzi from running around, Sun Xue specifically told Xiaodouzi to keep an eye on Huzi at all times.

Xiao Douzi did as he was told, and from the moment he entered the temple fair, he stayed close to Hu Zi all the time.

The two brothers seemed extremely excited. Although Sun Xue would take them to the temple fair every Spring Festival, every time they entered the temple fair, they would feel inexplicably excited.

Hu Zi looked around, seeming to be curious about everything at the temple fair.

He immediately spotted a stall making sugar figures not far away. Those golden and lifelike sugar figures deeply attracted his attention.

"Xiaodouzi, I want to eat candy man."

Hu Zi looked eagerly at the sugar man stall not far away, swallowed and said.

"Brother, you want to eat candy, right? Come on, I'll take you there."

Xiao Douzi immediately ran to Sun Xue's side and said:

"Sister, my brother said he wanted to eat candy figures. I took him to the candy figure stall and bought him one."

Sun Xue readily agreed, "Go ahead. By the way, Xiaodouzi, I'll give you money to buy it."

Xiaodouzi waved his hands and said, "Sister, I have money. I haven't spent the pocket money grandpa gave me."

Sun Xue smiled and said, "Then go ahead. Remember to bring the tiger with you and come back when you've bought it."

"I know, sister."

After saying that, Xiaodouzi turned and ran away.

Xiaodouzi brought Huzi to the candy man stall.

The owner of the candy figurine shop is a middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey face.

"Brother, which one do you want?"

Hu Zi looked very happy, looked around at the sugar figures, and said decisively:

"I want this from Sun Wukong."

Hu Zi has a good eye. The sugar figurine shaped like Sun Wukong is the best looking of all the sugar figurines, but also the most time-consuming to make.

Of course, such sugar figures are not cheap.

"Boss, how much is this Monkey King sugar figure?" Xiaodouzi asked enthusiastically.

"12 dollars."

This price still exceeded Xiaodouzi's expectations.

He thought that no matter how expensive a sugar man was, it would not cost more than five yuan.

Naturally, he was reluctant to spend more than ten yuan to buy a candy figure.

From the moment he became a member of this family, he knew that he couldn't spend a penny carelessly.

Sun Xue took him in, let him live in a big house in the city, provided him with food and drink, and sent him to school.

In his eyes, Sun Xue is his older sister and his adoptive parent.

In this world, even his biological parents don't want him, but Sun Xue, a stranger, not only does not despise him, but also treats him like his own brother.

Therefore, he is more sensible and mature than children of the same age, and is very frugal and stingy when it comes to spending money.

Old man Sun would occasionally give him some pocket money, but he was almost reluctant to spend it.

"Boss, can you make it cheaper? If it's five yuan each... I'll buy one."

Xiaodouzi looked at the Sun Wukong sugar man eagerly and asked in a negotiating tone.

The boss glared at Xiao Douzi angrily, waved his hand, and said arrogantly:

"It's only 12 yuan, not a cent less. Go buy it from somewhere that costs 5 yuan! If you can't afford it, get out of the way. Don't block others. Go, go, go, go!"

"If you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. What's your attitude?"

Xiaodouzi muttered.

He couldn't stand his boss's strong attitude and responded without fear.

The boss got angry and pointed at Xiao Douzi and scolded:

"Hey, you poor boy, what's wrong with my attitude? I'm telling you, if you can't afford it, just get out of here and don't affect my business!"

Xiaodouzi is also a straightforward person.

He was abducted and trafficked as a child and experienced a lot of hardships at a young age, which made him a very strong character.

He immediately fought back, "How can you do business like this? If I don't sell you things, you'll curse me. Do you think this place belongs to you? Why do you want me to get out?"

Seeing how stubborn Xiao Douzi was, the boss was afraid that Xiao Douzi’s behavior would affect his business, so he immediately walked out of the stall, pointed at Xiao Douzi’s nose and angrily yelled:

"You little thing that was born by your mother but not educated by her, get out of here right now. You are affecting my business. I will beat you to death, you little bastard!"

It was just one sentence from the boss that made Xiaodouzi completely angry.

The boss's words deeply hurt his self-esteem.

When he was wandering around, he was kindly adopted by Sun Xue. Sun Xue sent him to his hometown to find his parents, but no one was willing to accept him.

That scene deeply hurt his young heart.

He was just ten years old at that time, and the seeds of hatred had been planted in his young heart: he hated his parents and hated their indifference and heartlessness.

"I won't leave. Let me see what you can do to me."

His face was filled with anger, and he cursed his boss:

"A boss like you who has no manners must be doing business that is against conscience. Don't buy from him. Let him go bankrupt!"

"What did you say? You bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!"

As he said that, the boss punched Xiaodouzi hard.

Xiao Douzi was furious. He rushed to the boss and started punching him.

Xiaodouzi usually eats a lot. He is not very tall, but he is very strong.

After this punch, the boss staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.

The furious boss' face turned red.

He didn't expect that he would be knocked to the ground by a punch from a young boy. It was so humiliating and awkward.

He got up and started wrestling with Xiaodouzi, shouting.

Soon, the area was filled with people watching the fun.

"Wow!"

Hu Zi had never seen such a scene before, and he was so scared that he started crying.

"Don't hit my brother, you are a bad person."

Huzi cried and shouted, trying to rush into the crowd to help Xiaodouzi, but he couldn't squeeze in at all.

At this moment, a woman came up to Hu Zi, took his hand, and comforted him:

"Huzi, stop crying. Come on, I'll take you to find your sister and grandfather..."

Hu Zi was already scared out of his wits, but when he heard that there was a kind-hearted person who wanted to take him to find Sun Xue and his grandfather, he stopped crying immediately.

He looked up at the woman standing in front of him. The woman had messy hair and was wearing a worn cotton hat. A thick black mask covered half of her face.

The unsuspecting Hu Zi asked stupidly:

“Auntie, are you really taking me to find my sister and grandpa?”

"It must be true. I am your sister's good friend. I will take you to find them and ask them to help your brother, okay?"

Hu Zi nodded, "Okay, let sister catch this bad guy."

When the woman heard this, she immediately took Hu Zi's hand and walked into the bustling crowd.

On the way, the woman even spent money to buy a candy figure of Sun Wukong for Hu Zi from a candy figure stall.

Hu Zi was so happy that he almost died. He ate the candy man, and the woman held his hand and soon disappeared in the vast crowd...

At this moment, everyone else was immersed in the festive atmosphere and did not notice that Huzi and Xiaodouzi had not returned yet.

It was the attentive Zhu Yilong who noticed something unusual. He asked, "Sister Sun, where are Huzi and Xiaodouzi? I haven't seen them for a while."

Sun Xue came back to her senses, "Yes, why haven't they come back yet? Xiao Douzi said he wanted to take Hu Zi to buy candy figures."

"I'll go look for them."

After Zhu Yilong finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the sugar figurine stall.
