Chapter 63: Ten Miles

Body:

After eating, Lou Qianyi paid the money and was ready to find a place to live, and everyone had a good rest. found a better inn, Lou Qianyi went in for a while, and then walked out again. Ling'er stepped forward puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lou Qianyi glanced at everyone, hesitated for a moment and said, "There are no guest rooms." Mo Shuang walked unwillingly to several inns, and when he saw the costumes of the group, it was as if they had been arranged in advance, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but the guests were full. How could Mo Shuang believe that there were so many guests?

Xiaoxue also became angry, and since she entered this Jizhou City, everything has not gone well. Now even finding a place to live is full of twists and turns. Ling'er shook her head, stepped forward and gently pulled Mo Shuang and Xiaoxue's sleeves, signaling not to say more.

How can this be good, there is no place to live, how to rest. Everyone moved from one inn to another, and came out in disgrace. On the corner of the street, everyone stood helplessly, looking at the distance if there was a place to borrow temporarily.

Just as everyone was looking around without a head, there were many people not far in front of them, attracting the attention of Ling'er and others. Mo Shuang pulled Mo Yi forward, and the others had to follow to see what was going on.

Under the store, a middle-aged man was pushing an elderly woman, constantly shouting: "Get out of here, where is there food for you, I don't know where the next meal will come from!" Pushing and shoving, the woman did not compromise, and begged the man bitterly.

"Please, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for three days, you can do it, give me a bite to eat." The woman begged the man in a low voice, still pulling his sleeve without giving up. The man kept pushing the woman away in disgust: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of my business!" ”

The crowd formed a circle, all pointing and pointing, but no one was willing to step forward to stop them. Ling'er squeezed into the crowd and looked at the woman, ragged and tattered. His face was already dirty, and he held a half-broken bowl in his hand, and he was begging the man for a bite of hope, hoping to get a bite to eat.

The man finally couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the woman to the ground, falling right at Ling'er's feet. "Did you say no! I won't give it to you! If you don't get out, I'm going to beat someone! With that, he flicked his sleeves and went back to the store.

Ling'er couldn't look at it, and bent down to help the old woman up. The old woman stood up, looked at Ling'er's outfit tremblingly, consciously stepped back, and whispered, "Thank you, girl." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the shop in front of him, sighed sadly, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Ling'er looked at the old woman's back, very unbearable, and finally stepped forward and said, "Old man, let's take you to eat something." When the woman heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, but only for a moment, and then she reverted to her despondency. The woman looked away and whispered, "I have no money." Ling'er glanced at Shen Qianxun and everyone who came later, and said with a smile: "I don't need money." ”

Sitting at a roadside stall, the woman had three large bowls piled up in front of her. Until this bowl of noodles was also eaten, Ling'er was still smiling and asking, "Are you full, do you want to have a bowl?" After filling her stomach, the woman was obviously much better, and said with a little embarrassment, "Can you still have a bowl at the end of the day?" ”

"One more bowl." Ling'er called for another bowl, and this time the woman smiled contentedly. Mo Shuang stepped forward and secretly pulled Ling'er's shoulder, Ling'er got up knowingly and asked, "What's wrong?" Mo Shuang glanced at Ling'er: "Miss, we don't have much money left, we still have food and shelter, and there are still three Xuanjing haven't been found, how can you save this for a while, save that for a while, how can you stand it?" ”

As soon as Ling'er heard that it was because of this incident, she explained: "This old man is so pitiful, he hasn't eaten for a long time!" In this way, deduct from my food money and let this old man have enough to eat. Mo Shuang stared at a pair of big eyes, speechless angrily, "Hmph, you are just too kind, you will be deceived one day!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ling'er smiled and made a grimace at Mo Shuang's back, turned around and came to the noodle stall, the old woman had finished eating, Ling'er didn't dislike her at all for being dirty, sat directly next to her, and asked with concern: "Old man, have you eaten enough this time?" ”

The old woman nodded contentedly and said gratefully, "This girl, you are really a good person. Ling'er smiled embarrassedly when she heard this. The old woman continued: "Looking at the girl's outfit, it doesn't look like a person from Jizhou. Ling'er nodded without concealment: "We are here to find Mu Xuanjing!" ”

When the old woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then covered Ling'er's mouth in shock. Ling'er didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly dodged and asked, "What's the matter, old man?" Without waiting for Ling'er to finish asking, the old woman hurriedly made a silent gesture: "Shhhh ”

Ling'er looked at the situation, not like he was joking, and then lowered his voice: "What's wrong." The old woman seemed to be frightened, looked left and right, and made sure that no one heard what she had just said, so she pulled Ling'er down to the corner of the wall and asked cautiously: "You said you came to find Mu Xuanjing?" Ling'er nodded ignorantly: "That's right." ”

The old woman sighed, lowered her voice, and said, "Well, I don't think you look like a bad person. However, you must remember, girl, that the same thing should never be spoken to a second person. This is a big taboo in Jizhou City! It is for this reason that outsiders are never welcome in Jizhou, and if you want to find a place to live in this city, it is impossible. ”

Ling'er was amazed, but even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, don't we even have a place to stay?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Ling'er: "In this way, you go east, there is a village on the outskirts of the city, called Shili Village, you go there, and the people everywhere are very good." But remember, don't mention your search for Xuanjing! ”

Ling'er nodded half-understandingly. Mo Shuang and the others on the side saw that Ling'er and the old lady begging for food were mysteriously in the corner, and they were a little impatient and ready to step forward to urge. "Old man, thank you, I'll remember it." The old woman waved her hand, "Hey, the old body can only repay the girl's kindness with his own knowledge!" ”

Ling'er nodded, Xiaoxue stepped forward and urged, "Ling'er, we still have to hurry!" Ling'er nodded and thanked again. Before leaving, the old woman suddenly grabbed Ling'er's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "I heard that Mu Xuanjing is in that ten-mile village!" ”
