Chapter 15 Chang'an
"Five buns." Although he asked for five buns, Xi Feng gave money for seven buns, and the boss saw it, but he didn't say anything, after all, he was a seller of buns and not a benevolent person.
Xi Feng left the bun at the boss and went to chase the little ghost, although Xi Feng was not a good person, but hearing him say that his father was going to starve to death, it couldn't help but remind her of her past.
"Don't fight, don't fight." No matter how fast that little ghost runs, Xi Feng can let him run fifty meters first, and soon he will catch up with a broken grass hut.
"My dad has already choked his breath, what do you want to do?" A petite figure stood in front of the tattered bed. A few tall men surrounded the small place, fists and kicks.
No one listened to the child's cries, and for a moment Xi Feng felt as if he had gone back ten years ago, the person who had been beaten was himself, there was no light in the dilapidated hut, only the light cast by the moonlight in the darkness.
"Stop." Xi Feng stepped into the house that couldn't be called a house.
"Who are you? Looking for a fight? It was originally a pleasant thing for a few big men to bully the old, weak, sick and disabled, but this pleasure was interrupted by Xi Feng.
"How much does he owe you?" Xi Feng didn't mean to fight, and if he really owed money, it was better to pay it back as soon as possible.
Although she herself has not owed money to others, but she saw others being chased for money, today's scene is small, some people are chased and run for several streets, and then the flesh and blood are blurred, this is not the end, if you can't pay the money, you will continue to be beaten, it will not kill you, but it is also for you to survive and not to die. Generally, the money lenders are local big families or gangsters, and the profits are terrible.
"Our boss is thinking about their situation, and he has counted how many small fractions they have, and now it is no more, no less than five hundred taels of silver."
Fortunately, it was not five hundred taels of silver, although Xi Feng was a general, but she didn't have so much money just after she took office, but she could get five hundred taels of silver, and those people took the money and immediately left happily.
"I've already paid off the money for you, don't steal anything in the future." The little ghost seems to have been through their debt collection a lot, and has become numb, and is completely less flexible than the one who stole the bun just now.
"Why are you helping me?" The imp was not very happy, and even a little scared. He had already helped him get rid of the nightmare, what was he afraid of.
"There's no why, I just don't think you have to bear so much as a little kid." Xi Feng wanted to pull his hair away from his forehead, but the imp was very evasive.
Xi Feng approached the bed and saw that the corpse on the bed had maggots, and there was a foul smell as soon as he leaned over, he should have been dead for a while, and the reason why he was not buried should be that the child had no money.
"You're just as bad as they are." Obviously he was fine just now, Xi Feng just glanced at the bed in a hurry, and the child shouted like crazy and even ran away from Xi Feng to run out.
Xi Feng's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the child's collar and lifted him up.
Looking carefully at the bruise-purple marks on the child's body, Xi Feng thought that it was the reason why he was often beaten, but if he looked at it so carefully, it didn't look like it was beaten, although the traces were all over the body and there was no regularity, but the shape was very regular.
This kid has a lot of strength and wants to break free from Xi Feng's grasp.
"I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." Xi Feng just wanted to appease the child's emotions, but he didn't expect that as long as she spoke, the child would be even more excited.
"You're in league with them, and you're all going to hurt me." He seems to be desperately trying to break free from Xi Feng's hands, Xi Feng has also taken a child before, but it is the first time he has seen such a big resistance, Ah Zhi said before, as long as Xi Feng told him not to be afraid, he will feel very secure, how can this child ......
"Listen to me, your father can't do this, I will pay for him to be buried, you don't have to return the money to me, I help you because, when I was young, I was just like you on the streets and helpless." Xi Feng held the child in his arms and barely calmed him down.
"You, like me, are ...... by them, by them"
"What's your name?" Xi Feng gently stroked the child's hair, she was not curious about everyone's past, because people always have a past that they don't want people to know, and no one wants their hearts and livers to be thrown out and trampled on the street.
"My name is Chang'an." Chang'an, long-term peace, that's what it means, but this child may not have been safe since birth.
"This name was given to me by my mother, but last year she was sold by my father, my father is a gambler, and when he ran out of money, he was really forced to sell my mother for a little silver, but he took the money and did not pay it back, but continued to gamble, I actually hated him a little."
Xi Feng understands the child's thoughts, because she also hates her father, since she doesn't like her mother, why do you want to marry into the door, why do you give birth to her, why did she give birth to her without giving her a day of fatherly love, just because her mother is not favored? But her mother was a big house.
"What's wrong with you? Do you also remember something sad? ”
When he was six years old, he lived on the streets, although he had suffered a lot, but the child in front of him was sensible and distressing, he would observe words and feelings, although he was also in the market, but far from being as deep as him in society.
"I can take you in and give you a home, would you like to go with me?" This kid is light and nimble, and if he is trained, he will definitely be a good soldier who can charge into battle in the future.
And now the relationship between the DPRK and China is complicated, and he must have a few cronies, in the army, there is no one who is really willing to support him, so he must arrange his own people to enter the army, and now the border pass is quite peaceful, because the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty has been captured, so that the surrounding countries are quieter a lot, so there is time to train this child.
"What do you have?" The little ghost is very smart, knowing that there is no free lunch in this world, and the nerves that were originally loose suddenly tense again.
"You should know that there is a shortage of generals in my country now, so I want to train you to let you go to the battlefield with me." Since Chang'an has said it so bluntly, Xi Feng is not very easy to hide.
"You lack cronies, right?" As soon as these words came out, Xi Feng really felt that this child, who seemed to be only ten years old, was too mature, how could he know everything, if it went on like this, she thought that the military advisors of the Northern Wei Dynasty would be replaced.
"yes, so you're willing to go with me?" Xi Feng stretched out his hand towards Chang'an.
Time stopped at this moment, Chang'an looked at his father lying on the bed, and then put his dirty little hand into Xi Feng's hand.
When Xi Feng went back, he didn't forget to ask the boss to get the buns.
"Where did this kid come from?" Several people in the room stared at the dirty children.
"Picked it up on the road."
