Chapter 19: Another Child

I promised Jiu'er to travel with me, and I got up early today, looking at the warm sun outside the window, I put my coat away.

Holding my coat, I saw a letter on the side of the wooden bench where the coat was placed, and at the beginning of the envelope was written five large characters in three points into the wood: To my beloved wife

The letter said: Shan'er, I'll leave for a few days and come back as soon as possible. I'm not taking care of myself. Your husband.

I folded the letter and put it on the stool, and I don't know why he wrote a letter there, and I don't think I would do anything if he left for no reason.

I pushed open the door, maybe I hadn't been in the sun for many days, and now I looked at the sky so dazzlingly.

When I was ready to find Jiu'er, she appeared in the corridor with Duan Yu. Gao Lijian and we came out of Huixingling and returned to Shengxuan that day, and now Gongye has also left, leaving the three of us.

"Nanshan!" Jiu'er called me, and small steps ran to hold my hand.

"Let's go!"

I replied.

The three of us went out of the house together, and the street was so lively, everyone's face was filled with joy, and his unchanging mood also added a touch of joy.

I have been practicing immortal arts for many years, and I don't know what countries are now, I don't know what the name of the country I am in now, and I don't know what happened to the country I assisted in the past.

"Nanshan, we haven't eaten, let's buy some food when we're hungry!" Jiu'er let go of my hand and rushed to sell pastries by herself, swallowing her saliva.

The elderly boss said, "Girl, our pastries are fragrant and glutinous, can you have a pack?"

Jiu'er nodded frantically and said, "Mmmm, how can you sell it, boss?"

The old man said, "Five cents for ten cents." ”

Jiu'er didn't think much about it, took the bag handed to her by the boss, and brought one for each of the different styles of pastries, with the flavor of osmanthus and roses. Jiu'er took one after another and muttered to herself, "Senior Brother Duan Yu doesn't like to eat sweets very much, so let's buy fifteen!"

Duan Yu glanced at us, and he said, "Jiu'er, can you finish eating?"

Jiu'er smiled sweetly and said, "After eating, Nanshan three, I'll take the rest, you can eat it when you're hungry." ”

After spending many days with her and knowing that she was eating, I didn't speak. I was taking out the money, Duan Yu took a step forward and said, "I'll come." ”

Jiu'er smiled at him, took out a wrapped piece of pastry, handed it to his mouth, and said, "Thank you, senior brother, hehe." ”

"Senior brother, give it to you, it's delicious. ”

When Jiu'er handed out the pastry, he had a hint of dodge, he looked at Jiu'er's innocent smiling face and stopped for a minute, he still lowered his head.

Jiu'er's porcelain-white cheeks were crimson, and she looked at Duan Yu lowering her head and eating the pastry in her hand, she said a little shyly: "Senior Brother Duan Yu, do you still want it?"

"No, I'm not hungry. ”

"Hmm. ”

She turned her gaze to me, holding the pastry and said, "Nanshan!"

In the morning, when I used to not eat and was not very hungry, I said, "I'm not hungry." ”

Jiu'er suddenly said: "Why can't you eat on time, you were like this last time, you can't be like this in the future, you have to eat something, your stomach can stand it." ”

She said well: "Come, don't eat much, three pieces are too much, just one, one, okay." ”

Her big watery eyes glanced at the sky and pretended: "Otherwise, you are so good-looking, I don't care if you faint on the street with hunger." ”

I sneered, took the pastry from her hand and ate it, and she was as happy as a child.

Duan Yu kept a certain distance and followed her, and I walked afterward.

There seems to be something going on in front of her, the water that is surrounded can't be passed, Jiu'er's thin body squeezed into the crowd, I saw that Duan Yu wanted to pull her, but Jiu'er had already squeezed into the innermost.

I walked over quickly, listening to the crowd talking.

"Alas, whose child is this?"

"I don't care about my own children. ”

"You can steal at a young age, and you can pay it back when you grow up. ”

"Oh, what a poor child! I don't know where the parents have gone. ”

"Oops~ I hurt~ Woo woo, woo woo, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it. "The owner of the steamed bun seller dragged the seven-year-old child with one hand, and it was a severe beating.

"I'll tell you to steal!

The child screamed in pain, and was dragged by the boss and had to struggle to escape, but his strength was too small and he was dragged back.

"Let me go, let me go, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong. His eyes were frightened and panicked, and his other hand was clutching a steamed bun.

"I let you go, I caught you, and you still have my buns! You say, I see you wandering around here every day, do you come to steal my buns every day!"

The little boy cried and said, "I didn't, I didn't ......"

The boss raised his hand and struck it.

"Ahh

I saw Jiu'er rushing to protect the child with her body outside, and she was slapped in the face, and her brows were painful.

The boss scolded, "Where did the wild girl come out!, get out of here!" he grabbed Jiu'er with one hand......

"Hmm-" Jiu'er hid in fear, closed her eyes tightly, and half-rang her head......

"Senior Brother Duan Yu......"

Duan Yu blocked his hand with a sword and said, "This money is to pay that kid for your buns, let's go!"

When the man saw that Qian was open-eyed, he smiled and said, "Your honor, your honor, it's a small clumsiness." He grovelled, took the silver in his hand, and looked at the money that was enough to buy all his buns, and went back to the house.

Duan Yu said: "Don't rush out alone in the future." ”

Jiu'er nodded with tears in his eyes, the child looked up in fear, Jiu'er patted his back and comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

"We won't hurt you, don't be afraid. ”

The child in his arms cried loudly: "Ahh ”

Jiu'er was at a loss to wipe his tears and hurriedly said, "Why are you crying? ”

The child was dressed in tatters and wrecked, and looked skinny.

He sobbed, "I... I... I...... Thank you...... Woohoo, no one has ever been so nice to me, woowoo......"

Jiu'er said: "Don't cry, let me ask you, why did you go to take other people's things?"

Hearing Jiu'er ask him, he was a little scared, and Jiu'er said, "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you." ”

He wiped his tears and pointed to the door: "I haven't eaten for two days, I'm so hungry, so I went to get his buns, I didn't steal anything, I exchanged the wild vegetables I picked." "It looked like it was indeed a bag of cleanly washed wild vegetables.

Jiu'er looked at the bag of wild vegetables, sniffed, exhaled and said, "It's okay, the boss didn't see your wild vegetables before he beat you, thinking you stole them, but you weren't." ”

"This big brother helped you pay, and we took the wild vegetables back and cooked them. ”

Jiu'er sorted out the clothes that could not be sorted out and said: "I have pastries here, you can eat them, eat them slowly, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable." ”

The child took Jiu'er's pastry and devoured it, Jiu'er said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you, it's all yours." ”

When the child heard this, he chewed and ate it, and Jiu'er took out the handkerchief around his waist to wipe his face and asked, "How old are you?

He said: "I'm eleven years old, and my name is Gu Youxu. ”

They were all surprised, eleven years old. I didn't know he was eleven years old, but I just saw him and thought he was seven.

Jiu'er said, "Do you have any other relatives?"

Gu Youxu said: "No, our family died of the plague, and when I went back, the government sent someone to burn down the village." ”

Jiu'er didn't know what to do, she thought about it for a while and decided to go home.

Zhenghou Mansion

Sitting on the top, Lu Zhengxin looked at the door, the children led by his daughter, and said: "These are the first children, didn't my father say you, the world is big, there are more homeless children, can you help?"

"You really think of the government as a place to adopt orphans. ”

Gu Youxu said: "Sister, it's okay, I can support myself alone." ”

Gu Youxu knelt down and said, "Thank you for helping me, I can support myself for causing you trouble." ”

The housekeeper on the side leaned into Lu Zhengxin's ear and said: "Master, Miss is also kind-hearted, as the saying goes: The more life in the world, the better, good people have good rewards, I see that the child is extraordinary, so take it in again." ”

Lu Zhengxin waved his hand and said: "That's it, the housekeeper will arrange some easy work, stay until you are sixteen years old, send it to Xianmen, and join the army!"

Jiu'er smiled, and one ran to Lu Zhengxin and said, "Thank you, Daddy, Daddy is the best." ”

"I wish Daddy a long life and a happy ......" Lu Zhengxin interrupted: "Okay, okay, it's not because you are my daughter, you can make a fool of yourself." ”

Jiu'er smiled, Gu Youxu knelt down and said, "Thank you, master, I will do a good job, thank you for the master's kindness." ”

The housekeeper said, "Child, I'll take you to change into clean clothes." ”

I think every good deed of Jiu'er will not be forgotten, and every person who is warmed will not be alone.
