The "little princess" of a certain "prince"?
Of course, this thought also flashed, after all, now the Taiping Army has just hit Wuchang, and there are only so many "princes" in total, and the princes are not as widespread as later, in this case, the possibility of saving the "princess" is almost zero.
But why is Cantonese spoken here?
This is what Zhu Yifeng is really curious about. Of course, in his heart, he hoped that the girl in front of him would have some connection with the Taiping Army from Wuchang and Guangzhou.
However, this is just such an unfulfilled fantasy!
"Hey, little girl, you talk like that, you go to hell, what have we become? What has become of our hosts! ”
The little girl's words made Lin Yuqing suddenly unhappy.
"Little girl. Keep your eyes open and see, isn't this still the ruined temple? Let me tell you, you were frozen to death, starved to death, but you were saved by our host. You're in luck, you know? ”
The girl blinked and thought and thought.
Suddenly, as if she realized something, she struggled to her feet to apologize to the man. However, she was too weak after all, and as soon as she raised her head, she fell down again. She gasped vigorously and slurred her words.
"Thank you, you are all good people and my lifesavers. I, I ......"
Looking at the girl who thanked him, Zhu Yifeng asked softly.
"What's your name, do you have a home? Why is it here? ”
And the little beggar will also see that the person who asked her is a little different, this person is probably the "owner" in the mouth of the previous person, so he quickly replied respectfully.
"Mr. Hui, my surname is Liu, my name is Yuxin, I have been in St. Anthony's Minor Seminary, three days ago, bandits broke into the Minor Seminary, and they kidnapped Father Lee......"
Squeaked, a large string of tears suddenly rolled down in Liu Yuxin's eyes, and Zhu Yifeng, who was only looking at it, couldn't bear it for a while, and muttered in his heart while not being able to bear it. At this time, Zhu Yifeng had noticed that the Cantonese in her mouth had become an official accent with a Hubei accent.
Brigand?
Could it be that she is talking about the Taiping Army?
“…… Later, I escaped from the seminary, intending to flee to the homes of believers in a nearby village, but there was no one left in the village, so I finally escaped to the village, where I happened to encounter the heavy snowfall. I wanted to hide in the temple, but I couldn't get up as soon as I sat down......"
"Yuxin, tell me, who is that priest? Is it a foreigner? ”
Prioritish!
Foreigner priest!
The girl's words made Zhu Yifeng secretly excited in his heart, maybe this little girl would be worried about the safety of the priest, but for him who understands this history, he knows that unlike other man-made rebels who are hostile to foreigners, the Taiping Army regards foreigners as "foreign brothers" because of the so-called "faith", as for the self-proclaimed "son of God", King Hong Tian, is extremely courteous to foreigners, especially foreigner priests! If it was not bad as expected, not only would the foreign priest not be killed, but he would have been released, not to mention, and even got acquainted with the high-level of the Taiping Army, if he could take this line......
"Okay, okay, don't cry yet, Yuxin, don't worry, Father Li will never be fine, you sleep for a while, and I'll send you to the Minor Seminary tomorrow first......"
He pointed to the corner of the wall near a fire pit made of bricks, the table top of which was covered with a few bricks, which were used to keep out the moisture, if nothing else, it should have been his "bed", but now ...... Well, this girl is now her own "letter of introduction" to the "kingdom of heaven".
Phew, good luck, what to go to heaven, it is clearly a letter of introduction for a windfall!
Liu Yuxin, who didn't know Zhu Yifeng's thoughts, was naturally grateful and kowtowed to thank him, and for Lin Yuqing, Yu Xiaobao, Wang Dalong and others, they felt that the owner was really a bodhisattva, and they recognized that they were following the right person, and they were even more determined to follow the owner's mind.
People's minds are always like this, some inadvertent actions fall in the eyes of outsiders, and maybe there will be an unexpected effect, and whether it is Lin Yuqing or Yu Xiaobao, they used to be boatmen in the Yangtze River, living a hard life of not having enough to eat, for them, the thirty taels of silver is an opportunity, and the current fifty taels of silver is also an opportunity, but what is the real opportunity? It is to follow the owner, and only in this way can you really change your own destiny.
At dawn, Zhu Yifeng, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up. As soon as he awoke, he saw a man covered in snow standing in front of him, with a patch of ice on his eyebrows and beard. It can be seen that the snow fell hard enough last night, and the weather was really cold enough, who is this person? Then the snowman spoke......
"Dong, Dongjia, you're awake!"
It's Lin Yuqing!
Listening to this stammering words, Zhu Yifeng's heart was hot, he definitely didn't sleep last night, he must have taken someone to keep watch outside all night, in this time of chaos, more caution is always more safety.
"Yu Qing, you didn't sleep last night?"
"Eastern, eastern, I, I'm not sleepy......"
While wiping his nose, Lin Yuqing smiled.
"You kid, what if you freeze to death? Hurry up and put this garment on......"
scolded with concern, Zhu Yifeng stood up and stuffed the cotton jacket he covered with to Lin Yuqing, he still had a tweed coat on his body, and there were cotton clothes inside the coat, which was quite warm.
"Owner, this, how can this be done!"
"What are you talking about!"
Stuffing the clothes into Lin Yuqing's hand, Zhu Yifeng said again.
"Although Yu Qing, you are nominally hired by me, but I treat you as my own person, what if I freeze my body, next time it will be impossible, and a few of you, it's true, I don't want to think about it, if you freeze your body, who will protect me to Wuchang......"
That heartfelt concern suddenly made Lin Yuqing and the others all become grateful, and just when a few people wanted to show their loyalty, they were interrupted by others!
"Young master, you wash your face ......"
A delicate female voice with a slight Cantonese accent sounded beside him, and as soon as he turned his head, Zhu Yifeng saw a little girl holding a basin of hot water that he didn't know where he got it, and at this time, the beautiful face with a hint of melancholy revealed a shallow dimple at this time, and the innocent smile was even more calming.
She was?
In his surprise, he realized that the innocent angelic little girl in front of him was the girl he saved yesterday, after this night's rest, she seemed to have eased up, she didn't see the dying when she first saw her, and her face looked much better, and Zhu Yifeng was stunned by the sunlight that entered her through the door.
Liu Yuxin, who looks like she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is not tall, but she looks delicate and cute, because her head is not tied up, so she wears hair that looks a little messy, the texture of her hair is very soft, naturally curled inward, and her messy hair is fluffy in the wind. With snow-white skin, big and deep eyes, black eyes, and a beautiful melon seed face, she is now a little beauty, and she will definitely be a country and a city when she grows up.
Obediently, didn't you save a little beauty!
Again, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but look at the little girl riding on the horse again, just as she also turned her gaze over, although she didn't look at each other, but it made his brows raise slightly, this little girl's appearance is too beautiful, her skin can be broken like a baby, and her clear phoenix eyes can be breathtaking, so beautiful that she is impeccable, and she is pure and intoxicating.
This will make Zhu Yifeng regret a little, regretting why he had to buy such an extra horse just in case, if the two of them ride together...... Well, you're not weird...... No, you're only 19 years old, aren't you!
Such a little girl, if she is left in the future and puts the photo on the Internet, maybe how many people rush to recognize her father as her "father-in-law", but it is ...... Is she a nun?
Don't be rude, such a beautiful cabbage must be cheap when it grows up...... You can't be cheap! Not even God! If you want to be cheap, you can only cheapen me!
No, you can't just send her back to the convent to be a nun!
However, the "letter of introduction" of the country of heaven ...... Thinking of this, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but get entangled, but at this moment, he listened to the girl shouting excitedly.
"Sir, sir, here we are, ahead of us is the Minor Seminary......"
