Tong Xue looked back at the little beggar and raised her eyebrows.

I scared her in the morning, so what do you mean by holding her now?

Could it be that he wanted to go back to the Marquis Mansion with her?

When the little beggar saw her coming, he hung his head uncomfortably, but his thin fingers tightened tighter.

Tong Xue looked at General Weiyuan's wife, "Grandmother, look?" ”

How could General Weiyuan's wife not see the intentions of this little beggar, this little devil was only afraid to see that his granddaughter was handsome and good-tempered, so she thought of following.

He had a good idea, thinking that he had a good master.

However, it was impossible for General Weiyuan's wife to let Tong Xue alone bring a little beggar of unknown origin back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, even if there were two girls accompanying her.

When she was young, she was the child king of the border city, and she had never seen any kind of person. Even if it is a little beggar, there are those who live a good life and achieve great achievements in the future.

Therefore, she will not look down on these people from the bottom of society, and she will not treat them with the compassionate bodhisattva heart of traditional official wives.

"Are you unwilling to recuperate in the house? That's it, then I'll give you a sum of money, you go! General Weiyuan turned his head and told Mama to go to the treasury to get the silver ticket.

The little beggar listened to the words of General Weiyuan's wife, looked at her with trembling eyelashes, and the hand holding Tong Xue's coat loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, and finally hung down a little weakly.

Tong Xue glanced at the little beggar with her eyebrows, took off the two delicately shaped silver bracelets on her wrist, and stuffed them into the little beggar's hand, "Hide it, don't let other beggars see it!" He glanced at his face again, "People will be smarter in the future!" ”

She didn't know why the little beggar had an inexplicable dependence on herself, so with this gratuitous attachment, she returned it with a pair of silver bracelets, which was enough.

"Grandmother, Aunt He, Ah Jin has taken her leave." Tong Xue turned around, saluted General Weiyuan's wife and He Yongchan, and climbed into the carriage with the support of Cai Qing and Cai Lan.

After taking her seat in the carriage, she closed her eyes and closed them to recuperate.

Outside the carriage, the little beggar took the ten silver tickets and some broken silver and copper plates that he had specially found from his grandmother, and stuffed them into the depths of his clothes.

"Thank you, madam, Mrs. is very kind, Yu grinds her teeth unforgettable, and I will repay you if I have a fate in the future!" The little beggar said the first sentence since yesterday, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to General Weiyuan's wife and He Yongchan.

Before the wife of General Weiyuan ordered him to get up, he had already risen from the ground with great agility, and like a nimble rabbit, he ran towards a remote alley, and finally disappeared between the houses.

General Weiyuan's wife smiled, didn't take the little beggar's words to heart, and went back to the house with He Yongchan.

Li Yu received all the silver tickets and broken silver on his body, and only two silver bracelets were tucked into his sleeves.

And his clenched right hand, inside his thin black fist, hides a piece of blue-gray feathers.

He walked very quickly, weaving through the alleys, and soon came to an abandoned house, pushed open the wooden door that was crumbling from the wind and rain, and deftly ran through the courtyard overgrown with half-human tall grass to the dilapidated main house.

"Abu, I'm coming back, are you still alive?" The little beggar stepped over the threshold, pushed open the old wooden door, and swept his gaze towards the musty smell of the main house.

Not seeing the familiar figure, his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Ahem! It's back! A hoarse voice suddenly came from the hidden side room.

Li Yu was like a frightened rabbit, and his shoulders shook violently.

He shuffled his feet and slowly moved to the side door, holding the drooping door in his hand, and glanced inside, then quickly took a step back, looking up at the dilapidated beams with his eyes uncomfortably.

"I've got what you need." He said as he listened carefully to the sound of the side room.

Seeing that no one answered, he said to himself: "The general's wife has a fierce face, but she treats people very well, and gave me twenty silver tickets, and some broken silver. With this silver, we can bury my grandmother alive. The voice gradually became low and almost inaudible.

"How many times have I told you! Your grandma, she's not dead! The hoarse voice suddenly turned furious, sounding above him.

Li Yubeg shrunk his shoulders, pursed his lips tightly, and took the man's anger without saying a word.

"She's just out of her soul and temporarily lost. When she finds her soul, your grandma will come back again. ”

Soul Departure! Soul Departure! Li Yu has heard these two words countless times in the past three months, and his ears have long had thick calluses.

"Grandma has been lying in bed for more than three months, where did her soul go?" Even so, he asked cautiously to appease Abu's affection.

Grandma is unconscious, life and death are uncertain, and he is only one relative left in this world.

In the past three months, Abu has rapidly aged at a rate visible to the naked eye, from a sturdy young man to an old man with half-white hair and rickety shoulders.

Eight-year-old Li Yu didn't know what happened to Abu, only that he locked himself in a side room and stayed with his grandmother for a few hours.

That's why he was so afraid of that room, it looked to him like a soul-sucking monster that would make people age quickly.

"Give me the stuff." Abu did not answer him, but held out a hand to his chest.

Li Yu spread out his right hand, put the tightly held feather into his hand, and then reached out and took out the silver ticket and broken silver hidden in his arms.

Abu took the feather and ten silver tickets, told Li Yu to find something to eat, and then turned and walked into the dimly lit side room.

Li Yu nodded.

His gaze at Abu's figure blended into the darkness of the side room, and he pulled his legs and ran outside.

Familiarly navigating through the alleys, he turned from a small alley into a wide road, where a carriage bearing the mark of General Weiyuan's Mansion was moving smoothly.

Li Yu followed the carriage briskly, and saw it turn into a wide, cold street, and stop in front of an imposing gate.

Looking at the four gilded characters of "Dingyuan Marquis Mansion" on the door plaque, and then looking at a slender figure stepping down from the carriage, Li Yu suddenly lowered his head.

Seeing the tender yellow figure disappear into the side door, Li Yu rubbed his cheeks and walked back silently.

When he arrived at the bazaar, he first went to the mouth of the alley, gathered in front of a few beggars, and listened to the recent interesting stories of the group.

One of them, a beggar who looked like a thief, said mysteriously to everyone: "I heard that a rich man lost his child earlier, and is inquiring among us, only saying that he looks very handsome, and there is no other news, if anyone can provide clues, he will promise a reward of one or two silver!" ”

"I only hate that my father who killed that day is like that bag of blue sky since he was a child, look at my black and swarthy appearance, I am destined to have no chance with handsomeness!" One of the little black-faced beggars teased.

"Hey, hey! Black charcoal, you're out of the game. Brother Crockpot can try it. A small, shrewd-looking little beggar smiled flatteringly at the big beggar.

The big beggar smirked, "That's it!" Don't look at your lord, I look like a flower and a moon, the country is beautiful and fragrant, if it weren't for the old age" The big beggar was chattering, and when he saw Li Yu's unfazed eyes, coupled with the two conspicuous scars on his face, his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Say no more! Two dogs, Tie Dan'er, you go back and wash yourselves. Come over to see your grandfather tomorrow morning, and your grandfather will lead you to earn money! The crockpot put away the playful look on his face, and said seriously.

When Li Yu heard this, his eyes flashed, and he retreated silently.

He walked to the bun shop, took out a few copper plates from his sleeve, bought four buns, held them in oiled paper, clamped them under his armpits, and hurried out of the market

"Aunt" and "Abu" are transliterated by Ruochen according to the Qiang from Baidu, which means mother and uncle. Regarding the name Li Yu, just because Ruochen felt that the combination of these two words was particularly good, he planned to write this name into the text very early. This article has nothing to do with the historical Southern Tang Dynasty queens. ps: I also like the name "Li Jing", and it also has nothing to do with real historical figures.
