Hearing Qi Niang say that someone was following outside, Li Xiu was also very curious, and looked out near the car window at the moment, following Qi Niang's little hand, he also quickly saw the person who followed their convoy, but what he didn't expect was that the other party was just a child, to be exact, a ragged child, her hair was like a mess of grass, and her face was so black that she couldn't see her true face at all, and she couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, and her legs and feet were also a little inflexible, it was estimated that she had just fallen.

"It's just a little Hanako, maybe you want some money, right?" Li Xiu said and reached out to his arms, wanting to find a few copper coins for his subordinates to give him, after all, it was almost dark, and they were in a hurry to go back to the city, this little Huazi had money, and there was no need to follow them anymore.

"No, when we went down the mountain just now, he followed behind, and then he fell, but he still got up and followed, and he didn't get close to begging, so he didn't look like a beggar." Qi Niang said with wide eyes at this time, she had been observing the other party for a long time since just now, so she felt a little strange.

"That's strange, what is this little beggar doing with our convoy?" Li Xiu couldn't help but touch his chin and muttered to himself when he heard this. Hearing the conversation between him and Qi Niang, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang also curiously approached the car window to watch, but the two quickly exclaimed, "Ah, he fell!" ”

Li Xiu also hurriedly looked out when he heard this, only to see that the little beggar fell to the ground again, and struggled a few times before standing up again, but his legs and feet were more obvious, but he still limped to follow the carriage, but because he was in a hurry to return to the city, the speed of the carriage was relatively fast, and the little beggar was getting farther and farther away from them.

Seeing this, Li Xiu's heart was even more strange, I don't know why this little beggar followed them so persistently, and even at this time he had an urge in his heart to stop the carriage to ask for clarification, but now it was almost dark, and to be honest, after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were not too many beggars in the Tang Dynasty, even in Chang'an City, you can often see begging people, so after seeing too much, Li Xiu is used to it, at most he gives the other party a few copper coins to satisfy his compassion.

"Brother, stop the car, I'll ask her why she's following us, if you want money, I can give him my pocket money!" Compared with Li Xiu, Qi Niang is much more innocent and kind, especially when she sees the other party limping, she feels that the other party is very pitiful, so she begged.

Not only Qi Niang, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang also felt that the little beggar behind them was very pitiful at this time, so they also asked to stop at this time, in desperation, Li Xiu had to stop the car, Qi Niang immediately jumped out of the car at this time, Li Xiu was worried about her safety, and hurriedly followed.

I saw Qi Niang trotting to the little beggar, but this little beggar seemed to be very timid, seeing Qi Niang running to not only not chase, but kept retreating, showing two big black eyes on the black little face, revealing a pitiful expression, looking like a frightened little animal.

"What's your name and why are you following us?" Qi Niang saw that she was scared of the other party, and hurriedly stopped and asked, at this time Li Xiu also followed, but what they didn't expect was that this little beggar heard Qi Niang's words, and turned around and ran, don't look at his leg injury, but he escaped quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he got into the bushes next to him, and he couldn't find it.

"Brother, what is he running?" Qi Niang couldn't help but ask Li Xiu with doubts when she saw the other party running away, just now she felt that she had behaved very kindly, but the other party still ran away as if she was scared.

"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid we're human traffickers, right?" Li Xiu also replied with some doubts at this time, it was really a strange little beggar, who was chasing so vigorously just now, but now he has escaped without a trace.

"Go back, it's getting dark!" Since the other party fled, Li Xiu could only say to Qi Niang, but Qi Niang was obviously a little disappointed at this time, but she still nodded and followed Li Xiu back, but just a few steps away, Qi Niang suddenly seemed to think of something, immediately turned around and ran back, and put a few copper coins in the place where the little beggar fled just now.

Seeing Qi Niang's appearance, Li Xiu also showed a relieved expression, no matter whether the little beggar could see these copper coins or not, it was enough to be praised for Qi Niang's kind performance.

After putting down the copper coin, Qi Niang looked at the bushes where the little beggar fled unwillingly, and then turned around and got into the carriage with Li Xiu, and when the carriage left again, Qi Niang still climbed on the window and looked out, but after looking at it for a long time, she still showed a disappointed expression, because she didn't see the little beggar appear again.

"What's the matter, why did you stop just now?" At this moment, Ma Ye in front also turned his horse's head and came back and asked, he was in front just now, so he didn't know about the little beggar behind.

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a strange little beggar following us, Qi Niang wants to give him some money, but the other party runs away because he is afraid." Li Xiu explained with a smile, Ma Ye didn't take it seriously when he heard this, after all, there are beggars in Chang'an, let alone here in Puzhou.

After Li Xiu and their carriage left, there were only a few copper coins left by Qi Niang on the ground, this road was relatively remote, and there were no people during the day, not to mention that it was so late now, so no one had found the copper coins on the road.

After a while, I saw a "rustle" sound suddenly from the bushes next to the road, and then I saw the bushes being separated, and the dirty little beggar just now walked out of it, only to see him staring at Li Xiu and the direction they went away for a long time, and finally found the copper coin on the road, which made him immediately pounce, grabbed the copper coin and stuffed it into his arms, and looked around very alertly, until he didn't see anyone else, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then limped in the direction of Puzhou City

When he returned to the inn in Puzhou City, it was completely dark, Li Xiu and they were all very tired, and they all fell asleep soon after dinner, but Qi Niang still slept with Yi Niang, Li Xiu could only stay in the empty room alone, in fact, he really wanted to break through the relationship with Princess Pingyang, but unfortunately Princess Pingyang was not ready to fully accept him now, but compared to before, now the two have broken through to the point where they can hold hands, and occasionally do some intimate actions such as hugging, and the rest is not good.

Accustomed to sleeping with two people, now suddenly become one, Li Xiu is still a little unaccustomed, the next day before dawn, he has already woken up, and he wants to sleep but can't sleep, in desperation, Li Xiu had to get up early, came to the courtyard of the inn to play Tai Chi to move his hands and feet.

But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly found that a small head poked out of the wall in the corner of the courtyard and was looking at him, which made Li Xiu also surprised with a light "huh", turned his head to look at the little head on the wall, but the other party shrank his head in fright, and then heard a "bang" sound, and accompanied by a scream, it is estimated that the other party fell off the wall.

Li Xiu was also startled when he saw this, and hurriedly went out from the small door next to him, wanting to see how the other party fell, but what he didn't expect was that when he came out, he saw a familiar figure struggling to stand up, and then limped to escape, which made him stunned at first, and then couldn't help it anymore, and rushed forward to grab the other party and said, "Who are you, why do you always follow us?" ”

The person who fell from the wall was the little beggar from yesterday, and it could be said that he met them by chance yesterday, although it was a little strange but nothing, but now he climbed the wall of their inn and peeked, which was a little abnormal.

"Let it go...... Let me go! I saw the little beggar crying out while struggling, and her voice was very crisp, but judging from her appearance, people definitely didn't dare to miss that she was a girl.

"To answer what I just asked, if I don't say it, I'll have to report to the police!" Li Xiu was intimidating at this time, but because the other party was a girl, he didn't dare to push too hard, just grabbed the other party's clothes with his hands, but from the time he touched the other party just now, Li Xiu found that this girl was very thin, and there was not much meat under the shabby clothes.

"I ...... I'm not a bad person, I'm just ...... Just a little curious! I saw this thin girl arguing, and at the same time she didn't stop struggling, but her thin body really didn't have much strength, and she couldn't break free from Li Xiu's palm at all.

"Curious about what?" Li Xiu still asked reluctantly, he always felt that this little beggar was a little strange, otherwise he would not have wandered around them for two days in a row, and even he heard that bandits are rampant in many places in Datang, and some shrewd bandits will send people to follow the situation of some fat sheep before they start, maybe there is a group of bandits behind this little beggar.

"I ...... No...... I'm actually here to thank you for leaving me a copper coin on the road yesterday so that I could have a full meal last night! The little beggar couldn't break free of Li Xiu's hand, and finally suddenly changed an excuse, although this excuse was more credible than the previous one, but Li Xiu was even more suspicious of her, after all, a little beggar who lied casually was not very trustworthy.

"Yes, we did leave you some copper coins yesterday, but you actually came here today, why don't you go in and have breakfast with us, and let us be good people to the end!" Li Xiu sneered at this time, and then pulled her to the yard, but the little beggar struggled even more, but the more she struggled, the more Li Xiu would not let go.

"What's the matter, where's the little beggar?" At this moment, I suddenly saw Ma Ye coming out of the guest room, and when he saw Li Xiu and them, he also said strangely. (To be continued.) )
