The voice was a young man, and when he heard it, he was not the weak type, and even a little chic.

Anna looked up and saw that the man on the horse was indeed a young man, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a crooked military hat with an uninhibited demeanor.

The man saw her at a glance, smiled at her confidently, greeted her, and then rolled over and dismounted.

Once again, the crowd split automatically.

The shiny boots trampled loudly.

Anna's eyes lit up when she saw Petersy, and she let go of her hand and walked over to the officer, holding the other's arm affectionately and telling the story of the incident.

"Oh, Anna, look at me." After Petersey finished speaking, he looked at Anna and suddenly said a coquettish word.

"This is Alexei Vronsky, my cousin, who is now in the wing." "This is Anna Karenina, whom I mentioned to you, whose husband works in the government department. ”

Now it was outdoors, and kissing hands was not allowed, so Vronsky saluted with his hat.

"I have met your husband several times, Mrs. Karenin."

Anna smiled and said Nice to meet you, Count Vronsky. But in her heart, she felt that this scene was a bit funny now, don't forget, these "status" people are caught in a "porcelain" incident at the moment, and they are even subtly exercising a kind of social door law to distinguish between themselves and the people they can befriend.

The boy's moaning/moaning voice was raised, as if to remind them of these "decent people".

Count Vronsky walked up to the boy, and he crouched down, as if trying to touch him, but the boy only shouted back to him with a shrill cry.

"Do you want to break my leg? Mr! ”

Vronsky withdrew his hand, furrowed his eyebrows, and said, "I haven't touched you yet, kid." ”

Perhaps Vronsky tried to start a civilized conversation, but the little bastard with soot in front of him decided to solve it in the most crude and primitive way.

"Murder! The officer has killed someone! ”

"Hey! Brat! Vronsky was surprised to say that he had never been a rough soldier, and because of his good birth and nature, Vronsky could be said to be a polite and elegant officer.

"Oh, what a funny little scoundrel." Anna chuckled inwardly, and she turned her head to see that Petsey was already so angry that her cheeks were flushed a little.

The world passed slowly, and in order to avoid being too exposed to the public eye, and because Anna didn't want to waste her time on this "porcelain touch", she pressed Petersy's hand and took a few steps forward.

"Son, my family doctor happened to be in the carriage behind me, and I thought it would be best for him to show you the extent of his injuries. Count Vronsky is enthusiastic, but after all, he is not a professional medical man, and if your leg is really broken, but you can't delay, if they are nothing, I think it would be best to let Count Vronsky, an officer, take over the matter, you say? ”

Anna, like a kind lady, spoke threatening words in a gentle tone that would not be suspicious.

If it was really just an eleven or twelve-year-old kid who hadn't been rolling around in the market, he really wouldn't have heard it.

Anna observed the child's expression, and after making sure that there was a hint of stiffness, she motioned for Vronsky to get up and leave, and she squatted down in front of the boy, carefully raised her hand, and said slowly as she moved, "Or, you may be afraid of the doctor, after all, the smell of disinfectant water can easily scare a little boy like you, isn't it?" Will you allow me to show you your legs? ”

“…… Yes, ma'am," the boy stiffened for a moment, and then quickly comprehended a little bit of it, from his original splattering appearance to a pitiful expression, "can you be lighter?" ”

"Oh, of course, dear, I'll do it gently, just a check." Anna said half-truthfully, but her movements were very professional.

If there really was a doctor present, I am afraid that no one would doubt this statement, and even be surprised that a young lady knew how to heal.

"Sure enough." Just like Anna thought, the little monster didn't have anything. But Petersey is not the kind of person who is stingy, if money could get rid of this difficult little ghost, she would never have delayed it until now, then, it has nothing to do with money, it is a personal grudge.

Anna stopped thinking, stared at the big black and white eyes in front of her, and smiled slightly: "It's not a big deal, I'll ask the servant to take you to the hospital, okay?" ”

"Oh, thank you, kind lady, are you sure my leg is okay?"

"I'm sure, dear."

"Yes, ma'am, thank you so much."

"The little ghost who accepts it when he sees it is good, it is really, smart and cunning and terrifying." Anna thought to herself, with a smile of appreciation, and just as she was about to ask Yunina to beckon Kondraki over, the imp tugged at her sleeve and said with a wet expression, "Can you help me up?" I don't think I can stand up myself, kind lady. ”

Anna lost her smile in her heart.

"This cunning little fox repeatedly emphasizes the word 'kind'. I really don't want to eat at all. ”

"Absolutely." Anna was still smiling, and then helped the boy up, needless to say, her clothes must have become dirty, but to outsiders, her actions were too kind.

Perhaps in another hour or two, what a kind and kind person the wife of the high-ranking official Karenin was, the news would have circulated everywhere in Petersburg, and it would have lasted about three days.

Yunina wanted to come and take over, but the boy changed his previous rogue style and turned into a frightened fawn, emphasizing with his eyes and body movements: Don't separate me from this 'kind' lady, please!

In the face of this little fox, what else can Anna say, she can only secretly regret in her heart for taking care of this and lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.

When Anna sent the little villain to her carriage and told Kondraki to take him to the infirmary, the little fox tugged at her sleeve again.

Anna almost wanted to glare at the other person, but she was still on the busy street, so she just looked at the boy with a calm face.

The boy had chosen a good corner for himself, and others could not see his expression clearly, so he showed a mocking smile insolently.

"Who told you to meddle with your business?"

The little fox snorted, then grimaced at Anna, and then lay down comfortably in her seat.

"You have to thank me, ma'am, for the image I have created for you!" The imp said slowly.

Anna clenched her fists in her sleeves and muttered the word "stinky little ghost" until the carriage left.

While Anna was soothing herself, what she didn't know was that a gaze had been looking at her slightly.
