Fenghua Town, located on the edge of Shu Province.

It was getting dark, and Chen Bu didn't want to continue driving, and he heard that there was a sea of flowers in Fenghua Town, and Li Jiayi wanted to go around.

It may be a conditioned reflex, when it comes to the sea of flowers, Chen Bu thought of Dong Chuluo, thought of Dong Chuluo, and then thought of Bai Yin.

I originally wanted to make a phone call, but considering that Li Jiayi was next to me, as for sending WeChat, I had this idea, but I was worried that Dong Chuluo would call, so I simply chose to give up and find a place to eat for the time being.

After driving around the town, I finally found a small restaurant.

It was only seven o'clock in the evening, and the small restaurant was ready to close, but fortunately, Chen Bu took out two hundred yuan, which kept the boss.

Although the restaurant doesn't look big, it is full of leaks, but the taste is really good.

After eating for a while, Chen Bu felt like he was sweating profusely.

"It's so spicy, it's so spicy!" Li Jiayi stuck out her tongue and wiped the sweat on her face with a tissue.

The owner of the restaurant is a family of two, and they are probably forty years old.

The plainly dressed proprietress smiled and brought a glass of water over, and persuaded her: "Girl, eat slowly, you are not from Shu Province, right?"

"Yes!" Li Jiayi nodded, and asked again, "Eldest sister, how do you know, do you hear that our accents are different?"

The proprietress was so happy that she waved her hand: "You can pull it down, what kind of accent is not accented, we people in Shu Province eat this as if they are eating and playing!"

Li Jiayi: "......"

Well, sure enough, I can't eat spicy food.

While eating, Chen Bu raised his head and looked outside.

Outside the restaurant, there was a large willow tree, and under the willow tree, a little girl in thin clothes stood.

"Boss. ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man walked up, and Chen Bu handed over a cigarette.

"Ouch, thank you, Huazi?" the boss laughed, "I don't want to smoke this, I have to keep it." ”

As he spoke, he put the cigarette that Chen Bu handed over to his ear, and then took out a pack of Lan Jiao from his pocket, handed one to Chen Bu, and lit it himself.

"Ouch, it's okay to smoke this cigarette!" Chen Buba took a sip, his eyes lit up.

"Not now, the old Lan Jiao was easy to smoke. The boss said happily.

"By the way, boss, what's the matter with that little girl at the door?" asked Chen Bu.

"Little girl?" the boss turned his face to look.

Then he quickly got up and said "oops".

"I almost forgot, mother-in-law!"

"Old man, claws!"

"That girl is here, go and get something to eat. ”

"Good. ”

When the proprietress went to work, the boss hurriedly went out, walked to the front, and pulled the little girl in.

At this time, Chen Bucai saw that the little girl's face was red from the cold, her face was gray, and there was still a smell on her body, and she didn't know that she hadn't taken a bath for a few days.

"Girl, wait a minute, let your aunt take you to a bath. The boss touched the little girl's head and said with a smile.

"No, no, Uncle Xiong, I'll go home later!"

"That's not possible, by the way, my kid still has a padded jacket, and now he is wearing a small one, and I'll give it to you later." ”

"No, don't run around, I've brought it all. ”

After speaking, the boss hurriedly ran to the back, picked up a bag, took out a padded jacket from it, and looked at the seven or eight percent new, washed clean.

The little girl was still a little shy, and the boss didn't say a word, but put it on her with his arm.

After a while, the proprietress also came out, carrying two dishes and two bowls of rice.

"Girl, this is tonight's dinner, go back slowly!" the proprietress said with a smile.

"Go back, don't you see that this child hasn't taken a bath for a few days, there should be water in the solar energy at home today, you wait to take her back to take a bath." The boss said with a glare.

"Got it, I'll go back first, and you'll come over when the door is closed. ”

"Hmm. ”

The little girl hid back, crying and saying with a sad face: "Uncle Xiong, I really have to go back, grandpa is still at home, I haven't eaten, and when I go back after taking a bath, the food is cold." ”

"Hmm...... Okay, you go back today, and come back tomorrow, remember?"

"Remember!"

"Let's go back. ”

The little girl carried the packed meals, wrapped in a cotton jacket, and slowly went back.

After the little girl left, the boss just got up and suddenly found that there was an iron box on the table near the door.

He walked up to him, picked up the iron box and shook it, and there was a noise inside.

After sitting down, I opened the iron box and saw that there were a few paper tickets and a dozen steel hammers.

It adds up to a dozen dollars.

"Huh?" the boss shook his head with a look of surprise at first, then with a familiar expression, "This kid." ”

The proprietress came over, and immediately understood after looking at it, and quickly took the box and wanted to chase it, but was was

The owner called to stop.

"Don't go, you can't catch up, this kid looks slow and fast, and even if you send it, she will have to send it back tomorrow, don't lose it then." The boss said, "Besides, the child's mind, let's put it first." ”

"This girl. The proprietress was still a little angry, "How many times have you told her that you have money to keep for yourself, hey...... Forget it, I'll go buy her a new quilt tomorrow. ”

"Well, yes. ”

After the proprietress left with the iron box, Chen Bu asked, "Big brother, who is that child?"

"Oh!" the boss smiled, lit another cigarette, and said, "Poor child, also from the town, little brother, how old do you think she looks this year?"

"Six or seven?"

"Ten years old!" the boss squinted his eyes and said, "It's just that I haven't eaten the last meal, the nutrition is not good, and I am often hungry. ”

Li Jiayi was a little sympathetic and asked, "What about her parents?"

"My father died, my mother ran away, and I was just a grandfather, and now I am still down, and I can't get up. The boss said, "How else to say it, it's a poor baby, but there are many good people in our town, and we often bring her some food, and when I saw this child, I thought of my own child, and my heart was sour, and I could help a little bit." ”

Speaking of this, the boss paused, and continued: "It's just that this kid has too much self-esteem and is too sensible, and every time he gets three or five yuan, he will send it over." ”

Li Jiayi was a little emotional.

Chen Bu asked again, "This kid often wanders around town?"

"Not often, it's every day, staying at the entrance of the village during the day and going home at night. ”

Li Jiayi snorted, took a sip of water and said, "Staying at the entrance of the village, it must be waiting for your mother to come back, right?"

"Not really!" the boss waved his hand and said, "She's waiting for Guanyin Niangniang!"

"Guanyin Niangniang?"

"Yes!" said the boss, "her grandfather's health is not good, almost unbearable, before we also scraped together some money, for the old man to send to the hospital, the doctor said! No way! We can't bear to say, an old man told her, Guanyin Niangniang can save her grandfather, no, the child is waiting at the entrance of the village every day, saying that he wants to wait for Guanyin Niangniang to come." ”

Li Jiayi's eyes were a little red.

She turned her face and looked at Chen Bu, blinking her eyes.

Didn't say anything, but said everything.

Chen Bu smiled bitterly and took a sip of tea.

"Cheng, then I'll take a look. ”

Li Jiayi smiled at this time.
