Chapter 079: Liu'er
"First of all, you have to answer me honestly with a question!" In the private seat, Li Qian said.
Liu Er glanced at him.
For some reason, when she met Li Qian's gaze, a little inexplicable nervousness rose in her heart------ it was an indifferent and serious look, Liu Er could see that this was a person who would do what he said.
"It depends on how I'm feeling." Slightly averting her gaze, she pretended to be nonchalant and snorted, "Say, what's the problem?" ”
Li Qian's eyes froze, and he looked at her straight and said, "You and her have known each other for a long time?" ”
Liu Er naturally knew that he was talking about a little girl, so she only glanced at the side casually, and then shook her head very dryly and said, "I don't know." ”
It's not that Li Qian is suspicious, but this matter is a little strange.
At that time, the vendor who sold steamed buns should have been busy turning around or squatting down to get paper to wrap it, so he didn't notice that someone had stolen his buns, so he reacted afterwards. But Liu'er is different, she has been standing in front of the stall, there is no reason not to see the little girl's outstretched hand, unless the other party is a habitual thief, and the technique has already been practiced very skillfully.
The point is, can a seven or eight-year-old child become a habitual thief? This is simply an insult to the experienced "three hands"! Those who have this ability will not steal meat buns.
In the process of asking questions and waiting for answers, he has been paying attention to any subtle changes in Liu Er's face to judge the truth and ------ after observation, Li Qian found that she was not lying.
Li Qian still thinks that he still has the ability to observe words and colors, otherwise the large number of books he read in his early years about psychology, micro-expressions and other books, as well as the practical experience in professional life, would be a joke.
If even such a little girl told a lie to her face and couldn't see it, then she was fully qualified to stand on the Oscar podium------
After getting the answer, the doubts in Li Qian's heart suddenly dissipated a lot, at least this was not an arrangement with ulterior motives.
It is undeniable that since he received the secret order and learned some ulterior secrets in Hangzhou officialdom, Li Qian's nerves are indeed a little allergic. That kind of task is too dangerous, if someone can see the true relationship between themselves and Song Zhong now, it is not impossible to put eyeliner by their side------ children's perception of things is relatively vague, and with a little guidance, they can easily get the information they want.
They even dared to kill the Jinyi guard, such a trivial matter was not worth mentioning at all.
"Done, right? Then I'll go first, and I'll see you ------ back, it's best if I can't see it! Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Liu Er didn't know what he was thinking about, so he was a little impatient, and he planned to leave after dropping a sentence.
"Wait------" Li Qian stopped him and asked again, "Then why did you indulge her?" Don't you know that stealing other people's property is also a crime? ”
"You have more than one problem, Li Daguan!"
She raised her eyebrows and said slightly angrily: "If you continue to ask so endlessly, do I want to go back?" I'm late to go back, and my young lady can't spare me! If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask her directly------" Pointing to the little girl next to her, she squeezed Li Qian and said: "Take her to see the little goldfish, what red, yellow, white, after reading it, make sure she knows everything about you, and the little girl will not be accompanied!" ”
"Stop!" Li Qian suddenly snorted coldly and threatened: "Strictly speaking, she is breaking the law by stealing things, and you ------ her accomplice!" How? Miss Liu'er doesn't want to go to the yamen? ”
"You ------" Liu Er turned her head and glared at him angrily, and said hatefully: "You bully others!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment!"
"You ------" In the face of such a shameless person, Miss Liu'er really lost her temper, and she felt a little short of words for scolding. She dragged out her voice, and it took a long time for her to hold back a sentence, "You bastard!" ”
Pulling the chair in front of him suddenly, Liu Er sat down heavily, and said with a sullen face: "Just say it, what's the big deal?" I saw that this little girl was really pitiful, so I deliberately didn't tell the man that someone stole his buns. ”
Not only do people spit out the truth when they are drunk, but they will also vomit quickly when they are very angry.
While greeting Li Qian's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in her heart, Liu Er told Li Qian about her past like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.
She is also a child of an ordinary family, there is a small shop at home, and she lives by doing some small business, her life is not rich, but she is definitely not rich, but at least the family is still free of food and clothing.
However, the good times did not last long, and the father unfortunately died early, and the mother has been widowed since then, supporting the family on her own, and relying on her only daughter. Shortly thereafter, her mother died.
After being bedridden for a long time, the family had already spent all their savings, so that after her mother died, she did not even have a burial fee.
There are many widows in front of the door, and in such an era, a woman is always very blind when she shows her head outside to do business. And her father is a foreigner, and none of the relatives in the family are here, so there is no one willing to lend a hand.
But when she was in her early tens, she experienced such a thing, and her helplessness can be imagined. In desperation, Liu Er had no choice but to take to the streets and sell herself to bury her mother------
In the past, Li Qian had seen this kind of old-fashioned episode on TV countless times, but at this moment in this era, when he heard such a thing with his own ears, he really couldn't laugh at all.
At least, when facing such a poor little girl in front of him, he couldn't be heartless. Once, he was also embarrassed about his life experience, but compared with a cardamom age girl, he was undoubtedly lucky, at least after his parents died, he was already able to support himself.
And what about her?
Liu Er raised her sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, and said with red eyes: "Many people think that I am too young, and I have to raise myself for two years to work, which is not cost-effective." Some people pointed at me, saying that I was born to be an ominous person. Someone else said------" She said this, her eyes were full of anger, "said that my mother is a water-based poplar, and she shows her face outside, I don't know how many men I have hooked up!" ”
Li Qian lowered his head, his words were terrifying, and it was not surprising that someone would say such a thing. After all, those people don't have to speak responsibly, they can gossip as much as they want, and others can't control it.
However, those who have been hurt by gossip will remember these words for the rest of their lives!
Li Qian didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and after a moment of silence, he could only say a few pale and weak words.
"I'm sorry ------"
"I'm fine." Liu Er raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes again, and continued: "It was our young lady who took me in, and I told her at that time that Liu Er will remember her kindness to me for the rest of her life!" No matter what she asks me to do, I will not hesitate to do it------ I can do it, I can't do it, and I will do it! ”
After the words fell, she stood up, looked at Li Qian seriously and said, "I've finished what I should say, can you please promise me one thing?" ”
"Say it."
"If, I mean if, if you go to our building next time, I just ask you to stop embarrassing my young lady, she didn't want to make trouble for you, she was just forced to ------ at that time," she smiled, "Of course, I also know that your vision is so high, you may not set foot in our building in the future." ”
High vision?
Li Qian had a wry smile on his face when he heard this, and it was okay to have a higher vision, but the comments about "vulgar powder" were not from his own heart------ Liu Ruyan was not a vulgar fan.
Liu Er left, but the sorrow in Li Qian's heart couldn't be cleared up for a long time.
Reincarnation is a technical job, and I am more fortunate to become the son of a big landlord's family, and as soon as I open my eyes, I am a quasi-jinshi, so I naturally have no chance to contact the experience of small people. In this era when the level of agriculture is not developed, whenever there is a famine and there is no harvest in the field, the ordinary people in Pingtou will not even have enough to eat.
Li Qian suddenly regretted it at the moment, he shouldn't have bullied a hawker like that, and it was not easy for others. Although he knew that his actions would not cut off the man's life, he still felt a lot of guilt in his heart.
Wrong is wrong, right is right!
Even in many cases, for many reasons or another, we have to compromise with reality and make some big or small concessions. But justice is in the hearts of men!
The fact that the peddler is not kind to him only shows that his moral level is not enough, and it does not mean that he has done something wrong. At least, the first person to be wrong was this little girl who stole people's things.
And what about yourself?
Knowing that stealing is wrong, he only considers the problem from his own personal point of view, and teaches the hawker a lesson.
What's the use of that?
Whether a person has a good heart or not seems to have been determined a long time ago, and how effective can it be to force others to go against their own hearts?
His thoughts were a little confused, and when he inadvertently raised his head, he saw that the little girl was looking at him timidly. Looking at that emaciated little face, Li Qian really couldn't bear to criticize her.
She was just very hungry, so she had no choice but to steal two buns, so what was wrong------ not? No, no, this little girl doesn't seem to be as timid as she seems, does a timid child dare to steal? Do timid children dare to run around casually and not return home? Timid children, can the eyes be so spiritual?
Li Qian felt a lot of doubts in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion too quickly.
Everything will have to wait for Xu Jie to find out.
"Watch me do what? Aren't you hungry, eat something! As he spoke, he pushed a plate of dim sum in front of her again.
The little girl shook her head, then picked up a few buns in her arms and motioned to him. Li Qian saw that the wrapping paper had been opened, and it looked like there should be two missing.
Pay attention to the corners of her mouth again, and find that there are indeed a few crumbs of food, dare to listen to Liu'er's story just now, but didn't pay much attention to her, Li Qian couldn't help laughing: "The action is quite fast!" ”
"Uncle------" The little girl still looked at him timidly, looking scared, but her voice was much louder, "When will you take me to see the goldfish?" ”
“------”
