Chapter 78: The City
"Stop!"
More than a dozen beggars surrounded Song Qinwen, punching, kicking and spitting happily, when they suddenly heard an urgent shout to stop coming from the side.
"Niang Xipi, there is still someone to save this little white face, it won't be a good little girl."
With his back to Ah Yao, the lead beggar frowned. Although he has no face and skin all day long and begs for food for a living, he really can't do something like beating a woman.
Why is there a girl, it's so annoying.
Distraught, his fists couldn't help but lighten up.
Song Qinwen was originally so excited that his brain was even more buzzing, which would be regarded as a respite. When the next gasping "stop" came, the slightly familiar voice made his heart feel mixed.
From the time he left Shen's house to the present, he has been beaten for a while. At first, he still called for help at the gate of the Shen family, but the gatekeeper, who had already been scolded and scared, would close the door tightly; With no way to ask for help, he turned to the side of the road, although it was still early in the morning, there were still many people passing in front of Shen's house. Hearing his cries for help, someone occasionally came over, but when they heard the beggar's cursing, most of them turned their heads and left directly, and the few who didn't leave also cursed the Shen family together, taking advantage of the moment to rush up and kick him a few times.
No matter how much he screamed and cut his throat, until he was beaten and felt like his whole body was falling apart, no one came to help him. Gradually, he began to despair, but he didn't expect that at this time, the little cousin suddenly appeared.
This will make him very conflicted in his heart, hoping that A-Yao can save him, but he also doesn't want to be seen by her as such a wolf. This hesitation only existed for a moment, and the piercing pain came, and the * of survival made him can't help but open his mouth.
"Cousin."
"Yo, it's really good-looking. As the old saying goes, cousins and cousins are born ......" The leading beggar spoke in an ambiguous tone.
Before the last two words were spoken, standing opposite him, he hesitated at A-Yao's little beggar, "Old ...... Top dog. ”
"What's the matter, I haven't finished talking yet, my cousin was born ......"
"Boss, it seems to be a girl from the Hu family."
"What the girl of the Hu family, the girl of the Li family!"
The perennial begging has been endured by people's eyes, and finally with the help of the Shen family's affairs, instead of being pointed at by others, the casual beating of people is not pointed at, but makes the people passing by clap their hands and applaud, not to mention how happy the leading beggar is. This will be a good thing was disturbed by the little cousin, and he was irritated and did not choose what to say.
As soon as he said it, he paused: "Hu family girl, which Hu family are you talking about?" ”
"Our Qingcheng surname is Hu, and the most famous one is not that one. Boss, this kid seems to have said that he is not the Shen family. Do you remember that a few days ago, at the apprenticeship ceremony, the cousin of the Hu family girl turned his elbow outward, bent on protecting the black widow of the Shen family. ”
When he said this, a beggar next to him remembered, "Isn't that cousin Song Qinwen, a talented man who is famous in Qingcheng." ”
"I've seen Song Qinwen, it seems to be ...... It's a bit like the guy just now. The beggar closest to Song Qinwen's head looked at his dirty face with a blue nose and swollen face full of saliva, which he would no longer be able to see, but he vaguely remembered the delicate face when he first started to fight.
Is it really a girl from the Hu family? The leading beggar turned his head and just happened to see Ah Yao running to him. Seeing that she was about to bump into her, he subconsciously flashed to the side.
"Jing ......"
Passing by him, Ah Yao rushed in and looked at the young man in the pale blue robe inside. As soon as she opened her mouth to shout the first word, when she saw the face, she swallowed the remaining two words, and even put the heart back into her stomach.
"Song Qinwen?"
Although the man on the ground has been beaten to the point that he can't see his original appearance at all, he has grown up together since childhood, and he has been together for the last three years, how could Ah Yao not recognize him.
"Cousin, help me."
Ah Yao, who had a single-threaded brain, hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and asked like a cannon: "Didn't you steal the Song family's silver ticket and identity documents and escape?" How did it end up here? Oh, I remembered, you and Shen Moci walked the same road, got together, didn't you? But then you should also leave with her, how could you appear at the door of Shen's house and be beaten by so many people? ”
And such things?
The dozen beggars around him stared wide-eyed, glanced at Song Qinwen, and then secretly glanced at Ayao next to him.
In the past few days, it has been cold, and the wind is strong by the Jianhu wharf, before Ayao goes out, Song specially found the fire fox fur and wrapped it in her. Without a trace of variegated fiery red, it circled around A-Yao's neck, making her fair complexion a little more flamboyant, and even her delicate eyebrows and eyes were a little more open.
The girl of the Hu family doesn't go out often, and most people in Qingcheng don't know what she looks like. There are rumors that she looks like a yaksha after the incident of the belly pocket of the academy before, and everyone's expectations for her appearance are not very high. Because of low expectations, now when I see such a fair-faced girl with smiling eyes, I feel a little amazing.
As the saying goes, cousins and cousins are born as a pair, and everyone in Qingcheng knows the situation of the Hu family, and there is only one girl in Wanguan's family wealth. As an in-law, Song Qinwen, the cousin of the Eight Classics, is also the most likely person for the Hu family girl to marry in the future. These beggars are in the market all day long, not only have they heard rumors, but they have envied Song Qinwen's good luck when they are idle. There is a cousin like the girl of the Hu family, who will simply sleep on gold in the future.
"What kind of soup did Shen Moci pour him?"
A beggar muttered to him, and everyone immediately agreed with it.
was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes with the gaze of "do you have a hole in your brain", but Song Qinwen had no time to take care of it, and now he was thinking about his cousin's words with all his heart.
She actually knew!
I know that I am with Ah Ci!
Could it be a surprise attack on the road...... No, it can't be, my cousin is so simple and kind, how can she have such a vicious mind. Just like now, everyone ignored him, and it was his cousin who recognized him from afar, and then hurried over, thinking of this Song Qinwen's heart was even more firm.
"Cousin, you misunderstood, Ah Ci and I just met by chance......"
"A chance encounter?" A flash of doubt flashed in her eyes, and Ah Yao nodded: "I know that my cousin is happy with Shen Moci, no matter how the two of you meet, it has nothing to do with me." It's just that your uncle raised you with hard work, and you left so quietly, and took away the only remaining silver ticket of the Song family, and my uncle must feel uncomfortable. But he's still worried about you, since you're back, then hurry back to Song's house to report his safety. ”
For Song Qinwen, Ah Yao's mood is very complicated.
The family property in the previous life was taken away, and in the final analysis, her skills were not as good as others. Without Song Qinwen, there will also be Hu Jiashu, and even other competitors in the mall in the future. As long as she doesn't have the ability to support the Hu family, there will always be a day when this family will fail, and she doesn't blame Song Qinwen for this. But the death of his parents, no matter what, he can't get out of it. The enmity of her parents is not the same, and she should have taken revenge on her as she was, but her uncle died like that in her previous life. In the face of an innocent uncle, she can't do it anyway.
obviously has revenge but can't take revenge, and she is so aggrieved that she can't do it, so she can only choose to be out of sight.
Thinking of this, she looked at the beggars around her, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "You have a grudge against the Shen family, I know this, but today you are indeed the wrong person." No matter what Song Qinwen is, he is always my mother-in-law, I can't ignore this when I see this, you should apologize to him. ”
Song Qinwen can be shameless, but the Hu family still needs face. A-Yao said very clearly, I am not standing up for him, but for the face of my Hu family.
Of course, the leading beggar understood what she meant, "Since Miss Hu has spoken, then I will apologize." Song Gongzi, I'm sorry, we are clumsy, when we saw you walking out of the gate of the Shen family early in the morning, we mistook you for the Shen family. ”
After speaking, he didn't care about Song Qinwen's reaction, but turned to face Hu Yao and gave a thumbs up, "Miss Hu is really not ordinary." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head very low, trying not to let his stinky mouth full of big yellow teeth affect Ah Yao, and made a respectful gesture.
"Passing the prize." Ah Yao nodded slightly, turned her head and instructed Qingshuang next to her: "Tell the nursing home that comes behind to find a small sedan chair to send him back." Uncle is now in the countryside, and it is hard enough to run all the way, and when he comes back, he doesn't have to patrol anymore, just rest. ”
The leading beggar, who had just walked two steps away, heard Ah Yao's last instructions, and somewhere in his heart moved slightly. No wonder the streets and alleys are saying that the Hu family girl is benevolent, although she did not give porridge like the Shen family girl, but the kindness revealed between her words is much better than those who pretend to be.
"Big brother, do you think the girl of the Hu family is stupid? As for Song Qinwen's elbows turned outward, he directly pretended not to be able to see, so that we could beat up and relieve our anger. The beggar behind him muttered puzzled.
"Silly?" The leading beggar spit out the innermost grass: "If you see your brother being bullied and don't save him, what will other Hanako think?" Soft bones, cowardly bags! This girl from the Hu family is not only not stupid, she is also smart. ”
"It seems that this is really the case, the Hu family's face is pure gold, but it is much more expensive than our Huazi's dirty face." After sighing, the little beggar said ambiguously: "Did you hear what the girl of the Hu family just said?" Song Qinwen stole the Song family's silver, and then eloped with Shen Moci? ”
"How could the girl of the Hu family say that."
"It's not like that, but that's not what happened." The little beggar said excitedly, the fragrance of steamed buns came not far away, and when he saw the fat woman beside the cage drawer of steamed buns stacked high, he trotted two steps and rubbed it up, "Fat aunt, I heard a particularly interesting thing, which is more interesting than the rumors of the Shen family yesterday." ”
"Come to me to cheat the buns again, go away and go away, the stinky people are gathered here, and those who buy buns don't dare to come."
"Don't," deftly avoiding her waving hand, the little beggar leaned over to the cage drawer, salivating at the chubby white-faced buns: "Just two, guaranteed to be particularly interesting." ”
"Tell me about it."
"It's Song Qinwen, just that Wen Quxing, after taking the guilt of Jing that day, he stole the Song family's silver ticket and eloped with the Shen family girl. It happened that the Shen family was about to send the girl back to their ancestral hometown, and by the way, the two of them did so. Now it seems that he has been arrested, and I just saw Song Qinwen being kicked out of the Shen family. ”
"Bah, what kind of Wenqu star is this," the fat aunt snorted fiercely, grabbed two buns with her hand, "Take it, go quickly." ”
"Thank you, Fat Aunt." Smelling the fragrance deeply, the little beggar tail note is filled with satisfaction and pleasure.
Really, the fat aunt shook her head helplessly, with a hint of pity in her eyes. is also a poor child, his father and mother died early. Before I could sigh more, I came to buy buns. Picking up the oil paper while wrapping the buns, the fat aunt said: "Have you heard, just our Wenqu Xing in Qingcheng stole the family's silver and eloped with the Shen family's girl, and then was caught by the Shen family halfway." ”
There is no shadow at all, and the little beggar casually made it up and spread it along the fat aunt's bun. It just so happened that the matter in front of the Shen family was in an uproar yesterday, and any news about the Shen family would be enough to attract people's attention. The buns were sold out in the morning, and the news quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of Qingcheng.
The Hu family's nursing home originally looked down on Song Qinwen, this kind of relative who fought the autumn wind, did he really take himself seriously? Regardless of Song Qinwen's injury, the two of them carried the sedan chair step by step and walked slowly. When he walked to the countryside, the news had already reached Song Guansheng's ears.
"I'll kill you unfilial son."
Yang ran out in a hurry, and after his eager gaze skimmed over the young man in Song Guansheng's hand, he ran directly to the sedan chair, shouting Qin Wen while looking for his son.
"Mother, save me."
The weak voice came, Yang turned back in disbelief, and when she saw the pig's head in Song Guansheng's hand, she screamed directly in fright.
"Ahh Where did this monster come from, this would never be the son who made her proud.
As a biological father, Song Guansheng is of course distressed when his son becomes like this. It was precisely because of his distress that he knew that he could not be allowed to continue. Previously, he had thought about taking Qinwen back to the countryside and letting him experience a poor life and then change his temperament, but he didn't expect him to run away. If the soft one doesn't work, he can only come to the hard one, and the filial son will come out under the stick.
The more distressed he is, the harder he fights, Song Guansheng is not one of those skinny beggars who have eaten the last meal but not the next, he has the strength. Song Qinwen already had injuries on his body, but now the old injuries are adding new injuries, and he can't help the pain, and he shouts Song one after another.
"Help me, mother, help me."
In the end, a poignant cry for help called Song Qinrong in the backyard silkworm room, and after the same scream, she finally recognized her brother, "Mother, it's my brother." ”
"Is it really Qinwen?" Yang still couldn't believe it.
"It's really him," Song Qinrong hid behind the Yang family and looked at Song Guansheng with some fear: "Mother, you beg your father quickly, if you continue like this, my brother will be beaten to death by him." ”
It's Chinwen! After it was determined, Yang's motherhood broke out and rushed up to block Song Qinwen.
"Get out of the way, or I'll divorce you."
"The Yang family is kind to the Song family, you can't divorce me. Guansheng, stop fighting, he will die if he continues to fight. ”
"It's not all about you." Thinking of the Yang family's kindness to the Song family, knowing that he couldn't leave the Yang family, Song Guansheng felt more and more unbearable. After inquiring again and again, and seeing that Yang still refused to give in, he directly stepped forward to forcibly separate the mother and son, locked her in the house, and then continued to beat.
The reason why Ah Yao was conflicted was because she was worried that her revenge on the Song family would hurt her uncle. Although his uncle was so angry with Song Qinwen that he had a stroke in his previous life, he may have been angry to the point of having a stroke, which in itself shows his friendship with the Hu family, and she can't do anything about such a person.
But she never thought that there were some things that she didn't even have to do by herself. Song Qinwen is a scholar, and he thinks very highly of himself, and some concepts have long been ingrained, and many ideas will not be reversed in a while. Song Guansheng tried all kinds of things to no avail, and in the end he could only fight. And the harder he hits, the more distressed the Yang side will be. In distress, he spoke out to stop him, Song Guansheng didn't beat women, and when he was angry, he would only count her share on Song Qinwen's head. And in such a smoke-filled environment, Song Qinrong was even more like a frightened bird, terrorizing dreams every night, and the originally delicate girl quickly withered.
In short, because of Song Qinwen's stubbornness, the entire Song family completely fell into a dead loop.
Of course, this is all a later story, after settling Song Qinwen, A-Yao continued to walk to the dock.
And at this moment, the little marquis who was waiting on the dock heard the secret guard in front of him report how eager the girl was to save Song Qinwen, and he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights, and he was already tired under the busyness, but his slightly glowing face instantly became gloomy because he thought about seeing the girl soon.
Ah Yao, who had just gotten out of the carriage, only felt a cold wind blowing on the lake, and subconsciously shrank her face into the fire fox fur. The soft fluff covered her face, and when the coolness passed, she looked up and saw the young man in black clothes standing on the side of the boat.
"Brother Jing."
Running over excitedly, the fire fox fur was blowing in the wind. Running to him, he raised his feet and was just about to board the sampan, when he saw that the sampan, which had been stable and steady, was suddenly pulled away.
"Ahh
Ah Yao's feet had already begun to step forward, and she saw that the whole person was about to fall into the lake.
Stupid! At the last moment, Lu Jingyuan turned over and got off the boat and hugged her in his arms.
If you fall into the water, you will get cold, and you will be sick in the same way as this time, and you can't return all of them, and you just don't want to do useless work. Looking at Ah Yao's frightened little face, Lu Jingyuan comforted himself like this.
