The other children who didn't get the candy man looked at the little girl with envy.

The little girl looked at the old man with crescent moon eyes.

"Thank you, grandpa."

…

The little girl thanked her sweetly.

The old man's face blossomed into a smile.

"You're welcome."

…

The little girl took the bunny candy man and turned around and ran bounding towards her parents who were not far away.

…

The Pipa Ghost discovered that Master Xiao Xiao was outside the crowd. It blinked and nimbly got out.

Returned to Master Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and smiled at Pipa Ghost.

He said softly, "It doesn't matter."

"As long as you're in there."

"I'm lining up outside."

So many children…

I hope that when it's his turn, there won't be a dramatic scene like that only seen in books or plays - running out of syrup.

Well.

That would be out of luck.

…

Pipa Ghost shook his head.

It stands here with Lord Xiao Xiao.

It actually wants to drag Mr. Xiao Xiao in.

But it also knows that humans are always more tolerant and tolerant of children.

Mr. Xiao Xiao will not squeeze in front of the children.

It doesn't matter.

Then it would stand on the outside with Master Xiao Xiao.

Just wait.

What it has always lacked the most...is patience.

…

And here, Pipa Ghost can clearly see all the movements of the old man's hands.

You can also smell the sweet aroma of syrup floating in the air.

…

The pipa ghost flicked the strings with his trusty hand.

The sun, the shade, the syrup, the smiles and joy of the children, the smile in the eyes of the old man, everything is fine.

The wind blew gently across my face.

Pipa Ghost tilted his head.

The fingers kept moving.

until-

"ah!"

A child's cry of surprise came.

…

"Baby!"

The woman was not paying attention for a moment and let the child run out.

The woman looked at her failed hand and hurriedly chased after him.

…

The Pipa ghost stopped playing.

The lingering sound of the music seems to be floating in the air.

It slightly vibrates the eardrums of the lucky listener.

…

The child stopped.

There was a bit of confusion on his face.

Why?

The child turned his head and looked around.

"Why is it gone..."

The child muttered vaguely.

…

"Baby."

The woman put her hand on the child's head and pressed it gently.

She looked up and saw the old man making the candy man.

The woman smiled knowingly.

"I know you are very excited to see the candy man."

"I didn't expect there to be so many people..."

The woman frowned slightly troubled.

…

The child tugged at the woman's clothes.

The woman lowers her head.

"What's wrong?"

…

"there is none left……"

The child pursed his lips in aggrieved manner.

…

"ah?"

The woman was puzzled.

She subconsciously glanced in the old man's direction.

Then look at the child.

"What's missing?"

“Grandpa’s candy man is still there.”

"don’t worry."

The woman touched the child's head.

…

"no!"

The child shook his head vigorously and shook off the woman's hand.

He yelled quite angrily.

"The sound is gone!"

…

sound?
