The child got his mother's permission, wiped his hand vigorously on his clothes, did not forget to thank the man in black in front of him, and then happily got the apple in the man's hand.

The man in black smiled and touched the boy's head.

"There's a Thing Down, There's Some"

"Childe, please speak"

The man in black stopped his movements, withdrew his hand from the child's head, and played with the jasper wrench on his left thumb with his right hand, as if considering how to speak.

After a while, the man stretched his body and asked softly, "Why is Madame so afraid of the young man just now?"

As soon as the man in front of him asked the young man just now, a little disgust immediately appeared in the lady's eyebrows, but after all, it was a big family living on this Fushou Street, and it was only a moment to suppress this disgust.

This lady, her eyes are constantly looking at the man, the man's appearance is very handsome, a long black hair is simply bundled, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, water chestnut horns are distinct, lips are thin but do not give people a very mean feeling, slender figure with a black brocade robe, obviously the voice is very feminine but the appearance of the dress gives people a sense of heroism.

The woman sighed, this appearance makes many girls ashamed, and the legendary first beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuo, is nothing more than that.

The woman bowed and immediately spoke: "Childe doesn't know, this young man is a beggar who was exiled here a few years ago. Since the teenager's grandfather died of illness. The young man became a beggar who ate a hundred meals, and no one knew the origin of their ancestors and grandchildren, and they did not mention their surnames, so the people in the town became little beggars with him. I don't know when it started, this young man started to do a terrible business, for example, today, this car of wine is the bitter wine that Liu's shopkeeper's tavern wants to transport to General Yan's camp, how dare we dare to slack off on this important military quartermaster, even if it is delayed at all, let General Yan know, how can we and the people bear this kind of responsibility. And besides......"

The woman paused, looking at the man as if she had some scruples.

The man in black smiled, "Madam, but it's okay to say. ”

This smile is really like a spring breeze, the woman swallowed her saliva subconsciously, and immediately realized her gaffe, blushing and coughing lightly to continue

The little beggar was very wicked, and first the neighbors who lived in his neighborhood either disappeared or died. As a result, the surrounding neighbors have long since moved elsewhere. There is also the matter of sending wine to General Yan, which is strange to say, it is not that Shopkeeper Liu has not looked for others before. It's just that those sturdy men who delivered wine have never returned, not only have their lives been lost, but even bitter wine has not been delivered. But this little beggar can come back unscathed every time. Now that the war outside the gate is becoming more and more intense, if this little beggar can come back safe and sound this time, I think he will either be Xijin's saucer or know some witchcraft......."

The more the woman spoke, the more gloomy her face became, and the deeper her voice became, seeing that the man in black was silent, the woman realized that she had made some gaffes in matters involving the little beggar, so she stopped talking.

Holding the child and doing a blessing to the man in black was about to leave. The man didn't say anything to stop him, and the woman turned her head and looked at the man in black a little shyly.

Ji Ji thought about it, the previous things were really unsightly, to say his true identity, that is, a beggar with a lot of strength, but all the streets and alleys, always thought that he was a spy, or a demon.

At the beginning, Ji and Zhou Sheng, as well as the nine-tailed fox demon Ah Jiu, were thrown off the sea-crossing giant beast and fell into the mountains and seas, and the three of them were separated.

However, Ji Ji's luck was the best, and he was taken in by a blind old woman of the human race, who was emaciated and didn't like to talk much, and her personality was very withdrawn.

"Where are you from?" asked the blind old woman.

"I ...... I'm ......" Ji Ji was a little apprehensive, but he couldn't say a place, and his brain seemed to be insufficient for a moment.

The blind old woman didn't ask much, but stood up, walked towards the kitchen with a cane, and when she reached the kitchen, she said slowly, "Are you hungry?"

Maybe the blind old woman just wants to find someone to accompany her, and the origin of Ji Ji is just a conversation between two people.

The blind old woman shook the rice jar, the rice jar made a "clang" sound, and Ji Ji quietly pinched her feet and walked over, and there was a thin layer of rice left in the rice jar.

I saw the blind old woman directly pour the rice in the rice jar into the pot, and muttered: "Boys are good at eating, I don't know if this is enough......

Originally, Ji Ji was a little wary of the blind old woman, but after all, this was a blind person, unless she pretended not to see, she couldn't do anything to hurt Ji Ji.

After staying here for a day, Ji Ji found that the blind old woman was actually good, after all, she took him in and cooked for him to eat, but the little rice left in the house was all eaten by Ji Ji, and the blind old woman sat on the threshold with a pear herself.

Ji Ji walked up to the blind old woman, watched the old woman nibble on the pear that already had a wormhole in her hand, and said, "Old woman, I'll go and find you something to eat." ”

The blind old woman hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm so old, what to eat is not to eat, you people are not very old, and you are not worried." ”

So saying, the blind old woman walked out of the courtyard with a stick.

Ji Ji followed behind the blind old woman, walking on the street, looking at this strange everything, Ji had just arrived in this town, and was not familiar with everything here, but thinking that the rice jar was empty, he couldn't help but be a little worried that the blind old woman would have nothing to eat the next day.

Who knew that the blind old woman walked into the pharmacy for a long time, and Ji was just about to go in to have a look, but the blind old woman came out with a cane.

However, the blind old woman didn't seem to know that Ji Ji had been following her.

By the next day, the blind old woman's rice bowl was full of rice again.

The blind old woman shook the rice jar, and the sound in the rice jar was much more substantial than yesterday, and there would be no "clang" sound from the rice grains hitting the rice jar. But the blind old woman still didn't eat for a day, as if she wanted to leave the rice for Ji Ji to eat.

"Old woman, why don't we eat together, if you give me all the food like this, your body will be ruined. Ji Ji looked at the bowl of thick porridge in front of him, which contained a lot of rice and a little minced meat.

The blind old woman sat on the threshold with a cane, coughed twice with her head down, and said, "I have been on fire for the past two days, and my throat hurts so badly that I can't eat this greasy thing." ”

As she spoke, the blind old woman took the corn that had been placed in the basket at the door and gnawed it.

He stayed here for three or four days, but he couldn't see the blind old woman eating the corn, so he quietly ran to someone's rice field to steal some wheat.

On a dark and windy night, Ji Ji took advantage of the blind old woman's sleep and quietly ran to someone's rice field.

After looking for a long time, he found the rice, but these rice were all hand-made things, and with a little force, he broke the skin of Ji's hand.

"Ah......h

Where had Ji been in the ground before, and he didn't know what to do with this rice, so he threw out the roots to others.

After being busy for a while, Ji Ji was just about to leave with a large handful of rice, but he was caught by others.

"Whose family are you?" said the owner of the rice with an oil lamp in front of him.

Ji Ji covered the light, and when the owner of the rice was remembering his face, he turned off the oil lamp and ran away, and the rice didn't have time to hug it, so he turned around and slipped away.

Seeing that stealing rice could not be achieved, Ji Ji thought of asking the rice shop to steal rice, but this rice shop was even stricter than the farmland.

Ji finally slipped into the rice shop and found that the price of rice was more expensive than the other.

"This rice...... Why is it so expensive......" Ji Ji looked at the baskets of rice in front of him, muttering in his mouth.

"Poof!"

Ji Ji's eyes seemed to be uncontrollable, and his eyelids suddenly became very heavy, and he fainted suddenly.

When he woke up, Ji Ji found himself tied to a pillar at the door of the rice shop, and the door of the rice shop was still crowded with people watching the excitement.

I saw a blind old woman in the distance pulling a passer-by and asking, "Have you seen a young man from out of town?"

The passer-by scratched his head, waved his hand and said, "The world has been very chaotic recently, where are there outsiders." ”

After speaking, the blind old woman seemed to smell the fragrance of selling steamed buns, bought four steamed buns, took out one and asked while eating, "Have you seen a young man from other places?"

Ji Ji stared at the back of the blind old woman, but the blind old woman couldn't see herself at all.

"Young man from out of town, there is one behind you, who was caught stealing rice from the rice shop yesterday. The sister-in-law who sells steamed buns said, glancing at Ji Ji.

The blind old woman turned around and slowly walked towards Ji Ji, and the crutch reached Ji Ji's foot and asked, "Is that you?"

Ji nodded and replied, "It's my ......."

The blind old woman sighed and said, "It's not good to stay at home, what are you doing when you run out, go back with me." ”

"Old lady, is this your guest, why did you come to our rice shop to steal rice?"

"I'm really sorry, he may have gone to the wrong place to get to your shop, distant relatives, and he is not familiar with this place, apologize to you......" said the blind old woman and bowed.

Ji Ji was really a little reluctant in her heart, she originally wanted to reduce the burden of the blind old woman, but who knew that it would cause her a mess.

"Old woman, if it weren't for the fact that you couldn't see it, we would have pitied you for being lonely, and our rice shop wouldn't have sold you rice at the cheapest price. ”

As he spoke, the owner of the rice shop loosened the tie on Ji Ji.

"I'll let you go today, and next time I dare to steal rice, I'll send you directly to the yamen." ”

The owner of the rice shop glanced at the blind old woman, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

When she returned home, the blind old woman took the remaining three steamed buns to Ji Ji and said, "Son, although I don't know what your family told you before, but in our place, all the food needs to be exchanged for your own labor. ”

"I actually ......" Ji Ji looked at the blind old woman, unable to speak.

The blind old woman didn't seem to mind the embarrassing thing that happened today, and she didn't care if it made the blind old woman lose face.

The blind old woman seemed to sense something in the quiet atmosphere, so she smiled and said, "Don't care what others say today, you did something wrong today, but fortunately, I can't see with my eyes, and I don't know what's going on, and I don't know who is around." ”

As she spoke, the blind old woman took a bite of the steamed bun, and Ji Ji quickly poured a cup of tea for the blind old woman, handed it to the blind old woman, and said, "Then how can I get rice?"
