"Dad, I'm hungry and I want to eat," the boy said.

"Ah Zheng, I'm sorry, Daddy didn't have anything to eat for you," the man said with a smile.

"Isn't Daddy rich? We can go buy food!" said the boy.

"I'm sorry, it's gone, Daddy can't get you anything to eat, Daddy has been hungry for a day," the man said.

"Why, Dad? Don't we all have big fish and meat to eat? Even if we don't, Dad has money, and we can buy whatever we want. Why is there nothing left today?", the boy asked curiously.

"Because, the kindest sister in the world didn't come today," said the man.

"Ahhh

"Those big fish and meat, the money that my father used to buy food for Ah Zheng, were all given to us by that beautiful and kind sister. She didn't come tonight, so we didn't have anything to eat," the man said.

"Ah, so that's the case, why didn't that sister come today?"

"Maybe my sister has her own business to do," the man said.

"Why? That sister is so bad. She usually comes, why didn't she come today? Ah Zheng hated her, "The boy is vicious.

"Ah Zheng, no. My sister had no responsibility to help us. She was kind enough to help us, and it was understandable that she didn't help us. We are not in a position to blame my sister for anything," the man said.

"Why?" the boy asked.

"No matter how much my sister helped us before, how much she will help us in the future. Whether she helps us in the future or not. At least so far, we've gotten a lot of favor from that sister. We should remember her for being good and not blame her. Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu. This is not right. Whether it's liter rice or bucket rice, as long as it's rice, we should be grateful, you know?" the man said.

"Then Ah Zheng and Daddy will beg God to come together, please let that sister come quickly, so that Ah Zheng and Daddy will not be hungry!" said the boy.

"Good," the man said with a smile.

······

The moonlight shone in front of the window, and the whole room looked soft.

Qi Qi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply didn't sleep. Wearing only a thin coat, he sat on the window railing, looking at the courtyard shrouded in moonlight, stunned.

Although I helped the Xuanniao girl tonight, I also formed a bond with the gentleman boy. I'm afraid that the boy will do everything possible to take revenge after he goes back. Judging by what he said, his background is not shallow. Once the revenge starts, I am afraid that a small West Street Piano Shop will not be able to withstand it.

Get you back... Revenge!

Qi Qi was suddenly startled. Revenge, why didn't he think of revenge? That boy is so stubborn, I'm afraid that he won't sit back when he goes back, and he must be racking his brains on how to retaliate. At this moment, the Xuanniao girl is in danger, and he must protect her. If the beast hurt the girl of the Xuanniao, he would not be able to sleep well.

Last night, he had a hard time for a bowl of tofu brain, and after drinking it, he remembered that he had no money, and the shop owner and a large group of passers-by watched, which was when he was in great distress. The girl suddenly appeared and took him by the hand. If this kindness is not reciprocated, it is really a loss of gentlemanly manners.

He put on a cloak, took the scabbard, and jumped out of the window.

At night, there were brothers patrolling each courtyard, and they saw a black shadow brazenly walking through the courtyard, and they scolded one after another. After learning about it, I realized that it was a new member introduced to them by the eldest brother today, and they made a fuss, so they let them go.

······

"Xuanniao, don't cry. I was also forced to do so. If this matter can be both, Mother Li, I will never be like this," Mother Li was heartbroken.

The Xuanniao leaning against the door was silent with blank eyes.

"You see, in fact, it is not a good thing to get from this prince. At least he's a rich man, and if you give him your body, any gold and silver will definitely be indispensable to you. And Mother Li has to say to you, since you have come here, you should follow the customs of the locals, and those who are chaste and the way of being a woman should be left behind. Here, it's the right thing to do in time," Mama Li said.

"Don't say it...", Xuanniao's voice was as thin as a mosquito, "I want to be alone..."

"Hey, okay," Mother Li opened the door and called two maids in, "Xuanniao, if you want to open a little, don't do stupid things." If there is anything, I will tell them to do it, eat and drink, and Mother Li will definitely arrange it for you. You, just wait for the arrival of the prince. When the time comes, I will intercede for you, and I will make sure that the prince will not be angry with you and that straw bale. Gone, Xuanniao. ”

"It's not a straw bag!" Xuanniao's eyes shone brightly, "He's a man, a brave man!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I said the wrong thing," Li's mother slapped her mouth, "You're so staying, I'm leaving." ”

There was silence in the room. Xuanniao leaned against the door, and the two maids stood by the door, at a loss.

After a long time, he asked, "Sister Xuanniao, are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"

Xuanniao was speechless.

"Sister Xuanniao, do you want to drink water? I'll pour you a glass of water to drink. ”

"Don't ask me, let me be quiet, okay..."

"Uh... Okay," the two maids were embarrassed.

Xuanniao got up and walked to the window.

The two maids looked at her back, their hands clenched tightly.

Xuanniao leaned against the window, looking at the sparsely populated street, and two lines of tears slipped down from the corners of her pale pink eyes.

When she first arrived in Nanxun that day, she was inseparable, and she had no relatives. Li's mother from the piano shop gave her food to eat. At that time, she didn't know that this was a Fengyue Building, and after eating Li's mother's meal, she couldn't go out anymore.

Li's mother asked her to pick up guests here for her in the future, and she should repay her for taking her in. In the future, I will also provide her with good food and clothing.

She has always been, and she has always been. Although the girl's family is weak, if she devotes herself to studying, she will definitely be able to make a living by herself.

She played a song to Li's mother to prove to Li's mother that she had extraordinary piano skills. After that, every day attracted a large number of guests for Li's mother. So Li's mother agreed to her request to sell herself.

It's just that now...

Ay... If everything ends up in the water, she's going to have to commit herself to that beast.

Then she only has...

"Girl Xuanniao!"

Suddenly, a low voice came from outside, and Xuanniao saw that a person was squatting on the tile roof of the opposite building.

"Male... Childe?" Xuanniao was surprised and scared, "You... Why are you here? Hurry up, the beast is coming, danger!"

Thinking that there were two maids not far behind him, Xuanniao lowered his voice very low, not knowing if Gongzi could hear it.

Fortunately, Childe seems to have extraordinary hearing and hears it.

Qi Qi suppressed his voice and said, "Xuanniao girl, you... Are you alright? The beast didn't come again, did you?"

Xuanniao smiled and shook his head, "No." ”

"You... It seems to be crying?" There was a street between the two, three or four feet away, and Qi Qi also looked very sharp.

Xuanniao hurriedly hid his body behind the wall, wiped away his tears, and then leaned out of the window again, "Childe is wrong, no." ”

"Xuanniao girl, I'm sorry for causing you trouble tonight," Qi Qi Yan said.

"Why? Childe did a good job, and Xuanniao is very grateful," Xuanniao said with a smile.

"That Mother Li, did you do anything to you?" Qi Qi asked.

Xuanniao paused, looked back, the two maids didn't notice the movement here, turned their heads and said, "It's okay, everything is fine." Childe, get out of here, it's not safe here. ”

"No," Qi Qi decisively said, "I'm going to stay here tonight and protect you." ”

"This..."Xuanniao was stunned for a moment, and then a warmth surged in his heart, "Childe, listen to me, you leave immediately." If you don't leave, I'll be angry. Don't want to see me again. ”

"It's... How can this be?" Qi Qi hesitated.

"Childe..."Xuanniao's eyes were shining.

"Okay, okay, I'll just leave, Xuanniao girl, don't be angry," said Qi Qi turned over and got off the tile roof and disappeared.

Xuanniao was overjoyed at first, and when he confirmed that the person on the roof opposite had really left, he was stunned.

I sighed heavily in my heart.

I'm sorry, Childe, it's not that I hate you, but like this, you'll be fine.

You are the hero of the Xuanniao, and the Xuanniao can't fail you.

The night was getting deeper. During this period, Li's mother went to the room to confirm that she was not there.

Seeing that the hour was not early, the two maids persuaded her to rest on the couch, and she felt that the window was quite comfortable, and it was not impossible to sleep here tonight, so she refused.

Sleepiness gradually came to my head, and I lost consciousness...

The lights of the houses on the street were turned off one after another, and the darkness gradually swallowed up the place like a beast.

The two maids in the room couldn't bear the sleepiness and fell asleep by the door.

The lights went out in the piano shop, and the girls fell asleep one after another.

Outside, the full moon hung high, and black clouds could not cover the moonlight.

Everything fell into a deep sleep.

"Girl Bird?"

Faintly, a low voice came from my ears. The sleeping bird woke up, and there was still a little bit of worry in his eyes.

"Girl?"

The voice still lingered in my ears like a whisper, and it grew louder and louder. Xuanniao looked at the room in confusion, and there was no one.

Who the hell is calling her name?

"Girl Bird?"

The sound was louder again, and Xuanniao found that the sound seemed to be coming from outside the window. The probe went out and was startled.

"Male... Childe, why are you here? Aren't you gone?"

"Shhhhhhh It's just a show for you. ”

"You, you're too bold," Xuanniao covered his mouth, and at the same time he was shocked, he also had a hint of joy.

"Xuanniao girl, if you stay in this house, you must be suffocated, right? I'll take you out," Qi Qi said.

"Ahh

"Then you will underestimate me," Qi Qi said with a smile, "If the girl can trust me, please give me your hand." ”

Xuanniao's face showed a touch of red, "What is this thing that Childe said?

"Uh... This..."Qi Qi scratched his head and was immediately stunned.

Xuanniao put his hand on his, and his face was full of smiles.

Qi Qi was speechless.

"Why are you stunned, take me away," Xuanniao said.

"Uh, good!"

Xuanniao only felt that his body was light, as if he had flown up to the sky, wandering above the clouds, and he was so frightened that he closed his eyes, and the wind was whistling in his ears, as if someone was whispering in his ears.

"All right, girl. ”

When I opened my eyes, I was already standing on the street, "This... This... Childe, how did you do that?"

"It's easy to come by, it's not worth mentioning!" Qi Qi took her hand and left, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”

"Yes, yes!" replied the bird.

After walking a few steps, he found that this was still too slow, Qi Qi said, "Xuanniao girl, why don't I carry you?"

"Childe, you don't want to make an inch," Xuanniao didn't want to.

"I'm sorry," Qi Qi said.

After walking a few more steps, Qi Qi felt the hand in his hand pulling him, and looked back.

"Male... Childe, it's better to carry me," Xuanniao's eyes dodged.

As soon as the girl got on her body, Qi Qi only felt that her body was soft, like a piece of nephrite, "Xuanniao girl is very light!"

"Childe!" the Xuanniao girl patted Qi Qi on the shoulder.

"Okay, I was wrong," the words fell, swept away.

On the road.

"Xuanniao Girl plays the piano really well, she must have practiced hard for a long time, right?" Qi Qi asked.

"Childe solved the two contemptible men in three or two, presumably he has practiced kung fu for a long time, right?" asked Xuanniao.

"Hehe, it didn't take long," Qi Qi said with a smile.

"Childe's martial arts are so strong, he must be short of money, why did he worry about a bowl of tofu brain that day?" asked Xuan Niao.

The smile on Qi Qi's face disappeared and fell silent.

Xuanniao sensed something, "I'm sorry, Childe, Xuanniao didn't mean to. ”

"No, it's okay, it's nothing," Qi Qi said, "It's a long story, but there are many things in the world where a penny is difficult for a hero, and it's not surprising that it happened to me." ”

"Yes," asked Xuanniao, "where is Childe taking me?"

"When such an annoying thing happened tonight, the girl must be very angry in her heart, take you to the river and relax," Qi Qi said.

"Okay," Xuanniao agreed.

When the long river full of all kinds of paper boats and paper lamps appeared in front of him, Xuanniao really felt a lot better.

"Childe, thank you," Xuanniao said sincerely.

Qi Qi slept under a certain bridge by the river last night, knowing that someone would put these paper boats and paper lamps upstream every night. Late at night, these things would float downstream, and it was difficult to see them in the middle and upper reaches, so he brought Xuanniao downstream.

It's further west than the end of West Street, and it's less than a mile to the West Gate.

"The girl was depressed, and since I knew, I had no reason to stand by. ”

Qi Qi stood beside Xuanniao and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Well, Childe is really a gentleman, Xuanniao admires. By the way, when such a thing happens, I still don't know the name of the son?"

"The honorific name doesn't count, Shuangqi, Qi Qi also," Qi Qi smiled lightly as he looked at the paper on the river.

"Childe saved the Xuanniao in danger, this brave and virtuous is complete, and the Xuanniao is rare. is not like those hypocrites, dignified, but with a black heart. Injustices happen right in front of you, but you don't dare to do it. ”

"It's good for the Xuanniao girl to see through, this is the way of the world. ”

"If there is an opportunity in the future, Xuanniao is willing to play a solo song for Childe to express his gratitude. It is a song composed by Xuanniao, "Xiao Yong". ”

"But why should the girl use 'if'? You should use 'must', right? Tonight it's late, and tomorrow the girl can play the harp to me." There are no variables. ”

"Childe is talking too much," Xuanniao said melancholy.

"Oh, is there anything else I don't know?"

Xuanniao was silent, and for a moment, he suddenly pointed to the middle of the river and said, "Childe, I like that paper boat very much, can you get it for me?"

"It's... Isn't it okay?" Qi Qi was embarrassed, "These are all put by others, and we took them without permission, which is not very moral." ”

"Also, I'm a little selfish and forget to think about others," Xuanniao said.

The air was silent for a moment, and the paper boat was about to leave sight.

"That's it, it's just a paper boat, if that person wants to blame, then blame me!"

When the words fell, Qi Qi flew down to the river, clicked a few times in the river like a dragonfly, and after going ashore, there was already an extra paper boat in his hand.

Xuanniao covered his mouth and said, "Childe's martial arts are really strong! Xuanniao has opened his eyes." Thank you, Childe. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Seeing that Xuanniao was holding the paper boat and looking at it in his hand, Qi Qi said, "It is rumored that there are people writing on these paper boats, why don't you open it and take a look?"

"It's... Isn't that okay?"

"Bring it all up, don't you think it's a little late to say this? ”

Xuanniao paused, opened the paper boat and took a closer look.

After a moment, Qi Qi asked, "How is it?"

A crimson flush appeared on Xuanniao's face, and he didn't answer.

"What do you mean, girl?"

"No... It's nothing," Xuanniao neatly crumpled the paper boat into a ball and threw it into the river.

"Hey, why did you lose it? I haven't seen it yet!" Qi Qi was stunned.

"Don't... Don't look at it, it's meaningless, don't look at it," Xuanniao dodged his gaze.

"Isn't it okay to just make a mess like this and lose it?"

"Childe doesn't have to care about these details," Xuanyao said sonorously.

"I really don't understand you women," Qi Qi embarrassed.

"Doesn't Childe understand a woman's heart?" asked Xuanniao.

"I don't understand," Qi Qi shook his head.

"It's getting late, Childe, I should go back," Xuanniao said.

"Ah, you go back, I thought the girl understood all this. If something like that happens tonight, the beast will definitely retaliate later, and Mother Li has not treated you well, you are in the mouth of the tiger, and you are worried that you can't get out. Tonight I will help the girl to get out of the sea of suffering. As a result, you now say you want to go back?" Qi Qi was stunned.

"I know all of this, but it's because I understand that I have to go back. If that person can't find me and my son after arriving at the piano shop, he will definitely be angry with the girls in the piano shop. They are all innocent and should not be implicated because of me. ”

"This..."Qi Qi paused, "What about you? You go back, they're fine." What about you?"

"I—" Xuanniao thought for a moment, "Childe doesn't have to worry about me. ”

"How can I not care?!"

Qi Qi's shout startled Xuanniao.

"Walking the rivers and lakes pays attention to morality, now I know that it is an abyss, and the girl wants to enter the abyss, how can I sit idly by?"

"Childe..."Xuanniao was embarrassed, "Childe still don't force me, please send me back, Xuanniao doesn't want to say too heavy words." That would hurt my friendship with Childe. ”

The air fell silent for a long time, and Qi Qi sighed heavily, "Alas... Well, since the girl insisted on this, I had no reason to force it. ”

······

When he watched the brown-clothed figure float away from his eyes, Xuanniao leaned against the window and sighed heavily.

I'm sorry, Qi Qi, for the opportunity to play the piano for you in the future.

I'm afraid it's gone.
