Chapter 4: The Beggar's Nest

Xiao Shuyue walked through the back door of the Xiao Mansion, and the back door led directly to the market in Ningyang City! At the beginning, the Xiao family built the back door in the market to facilitate the purchase of things!

I didn't expect this to be convenient for Xiao Shuyue! This ancient market is different from modern shopping malls! There are all kinds of vegetables in the market, and the vendors are all carrying baskets or baskets to sell on the street. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are all kinds of interesting things, from small sachets and knitted goods to large handicrafts!

Xiao Shuyue is the first time she has gone out since she crossed here, and she has shown a strong curiosity about these things, she is a child, her body is in tatters, and her face is not very clean, many people even avoid her from afar, and at first glance it is no different from the beggar on the street, but Xiao Shuyue doesn't care, she just walks excitedly on the paved market on this bluestone road, feeling the difference in all this.

After going out, Xiao Shuyue first went to the market where the maids frequented, and then walked through the alleys, went around to the north, and arrived at the slum area that the maids often said.

When Xiao Shuyue saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened! Can this be called a slum area? It was simply a disaster area! Qin Shifan thought that he was already dressed in tatters. But I didn't expect that the people here were dressed more shabby than her, and even many of the clothes on her body were unclothed! Skinny and dirty! Along the way, there were many people who looked at her as a child with wary eyes, and some women held their own children, their hair was wrapped in rags! There was no place to find a clean place on their bodies.

Xiao Shuyue originally thought that if she was in the slums, there should be a lot of news, and she couldn't go to places like teahouses and inns! After all, she had no money, and coming to the slums was more in line with her appearance, after all, she looked more like a poor person.

But I didn't expect that after walking here, the broken grass house above the house had long been leaking, the grass on it was almost gone, and the earthen walls below were faintly showing signs of collapse, and the people living here looked very nervous, feeling that even a guy like Xiao Shuyue who was covered in patches could be regarded as a rich man here.

Eyes of wariness, eyes of fear, eyes of dodge, and...... Greedy eyes! People like themselves can become fat sheep?

Xiao Shuyue walked all the way, and suddenly a child ran over and took her hand, and asked innocently, "Sister...... Do you have anything to eat?"

The child asked...... Everyone was staring at Xiao Shuyue without blinking! Looking at the people here, there was a flash of hope and greed in those dead eyes, Xiao Shuyue sighed lightly and shook her head.

Then...... The child's mother, a very old-looking person, hurriedly ran over, pulled her child and left Xiao Shuyue, Xiao Shuyue was unwilling, and hurriedly walked to the child's side, holding the child's hand, looking at the woman who looked almost forty years old, and asked, "Auntie! I want to play with my brother, is it okay?"

The woman's nervous expression only became a little relieved after listening to Xiao Shuyue's words, but her voice was still full of rejection: "Children, this is a slum area, how can children in the slum area play?

Xiao Shuyue sniffed, "I...... Hearing this, the woman's face became slightly sympathetic, and she said softly: "Little friend, be at my house tonight! But after tonight, you have to leave, our family can't afford to support you!"

Listening to the woman's words, Xiao Shuyue nodded excitedly.

But when he thought of promising Mama Rong to go back early every day, he lowered his head, and said with a little tear in his eyes: "Auntie, I'll accompany you for a while, I won't ask you for food, I will support myself, I'll talk to you! I just came here, someone drove me here, I don't know anything, can you tell me about it!"

The middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Shuyue's small and cute appearance, thought about it, and nodded, Xiao Shuyue's face was very clean, if it weren't for too many patches on the clothes on her body, she would definitely not be driven here, I believe that the person who took care of this little guy before must be good to this little guy, or ...... I'm going to sell this little guy, that's why this little guy is so clean.

The middle-aged woman followed her to a broken grass hut full of people, and the middle-aged woman bowed to an old man about seventy or eighty years old sitting in the middle and said, "Sir, this child is an orphan, I will bring her to sit down, it will not affect everyone's food distribution!"

The old man looked at Xiao Shuyue, nodded, and then closed his eyes again, Qin Shifan could see that although the people around the old man were dressed in tatters, they were obviously much cleaner than the middle-aged woman who was pulling him.

And the people around him are very respectful of the old man, it looks quite orderly, compared to the people who sit outside at will, the people here are much more behaved, and the middle-aged woman just now also said a word about food distribution, which made Qin Shifan believe it...... This group of people must have formed a gang.

Qin Shifan turned her head, let go of the little child she was pulling and asked her for food just now, and ran directly to the old man's side, looking at the old man curiously, and the people around her obviously became nervous.

Xiao Shuyue didn't seem to feel the light of the sharp blade on her body, smiled at the old man in the middle, and called out obediently: "Grandpa!"

The old man was obviously stunned, but Xiao Shuyue was already holding his hand, after all, children are easy to relax, the old man looked at Xiao Shuyue and just took his hand and shouted his grandfather, plus Xiao Shuyue was well-behaved, so the old man not only did not get angry, but also faintly had a little kind smile.

The originally indifferent face became a little warm because of Xiao Shuyue's grandfather, and he actually smiled mildly and responded: "Hey! good boy!"

Everyone looked at the old man's movements, and they were all startled, and a middle-aged man sitting on the left side of the old man shouted, "Sir?"

Such a strange title would not appear in an old man, and the middle-aged woman who had pulled him before also called him sir.

Sure enough, the woman just now opened her mouth and said: "Sir, Yun Niang knows that she is wrong! You shouldn't bring back a stranger, Yun Niang remember!" When Xiao Shuyue was puzzled, the woman who was pulling her just now knelt on the ground suddenly, crying and kowtowing, snorting louder and louder each time, Xiao Shuyue could even see the blood beads faintly oozing from her head.

Xiao Shuyue hurriedly ran over and pulled the middle-aged woman who claimed to be Yun Niang, who was also pulling herself just now, and cried: "Auntie, you are bleeding!"

Xiao Shuyue is just a child, she knows that this is because of herself, so this person called Yun Niang is like this, and at this time, after seeing Xiao Shuyue crying, the little boy who asked her if she had anything to eat just now also cried.

Now the old man spoke, and said softly: "Get up! I'm not angry, this kid is destined for me!"

In a word, Yun Niang's eyes were filled with hope, and she hurriedly kowtowed and said gratefully: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!"
