"Mom!"
A scream came from the back of the broken temple, and with that scream, someone ran out directly from inside, it was Lin Yuqing's cousin, Wang Dalong. Looking at his brother's panicked appearance, Lin Yuqing, who felt a little embarrassed in front of the owner, immediately shouted angrily.
"Dalong, what are you talking about?"
"This, Brother Qingzi, there is a dead man here, and he is still a woman."
There are dead people?
Listening to their words, Zhu Yifeng followed them to the small cubicle behind the broken temple, which may have been the place where the temple lived in the past, but this place was not like the outside to pour wind around, and sure enough, he saw a little beggar curled up in the straw pile in the corner of the wall, with hair on her head and no shaved head, obviously a female beggar. However, her face was so dirty that she couldn't see it clearly, and she looked like she was about twelve or thirteen years old. The girl was dressed in a clay cloth garment, and her feet were barefoot, and the soles of her feet were tied together with rags, probably because it would warm her up.
The face of her little face was ugly, cold and purple with a little gray, as if she had rubbed her face with pot ash or something. Seeing that this may be a little beggar who was frozen to death, Zhu Yifeng sighed bitterly in his heart, this era! It's really a road with frozen bones!
…… You must not fall to this point, the dead friends do not die in the poor way, and the others live or die without saying, it is important to save your own life first. Again, the starvation on the side of the road strengthened Zhu Yifeng's belief, even if it was selfish.
"Owner, the little one will move this corpse out, it's quite unlucky here!"
Just when Lin Yuqing was about to remove the corpse in the haystack, Zhu Yifeng noticed that the little beggar seemed to exhale a ball of hot air under his nose, and his heart that had just hardened suddenly softened.
"Wait, I'll see, if there's any salvation"
As he spoke, Zhu Yifeng stepped forward and put his hand on the girl's neck, and sure enough, there was still a pulse, although it was very slight, but it was obviously still alive.
"Well, this man is still alive. Come, take her into the front room, and put her by the fire, and let her roast her, and maybe she will be saved. ”
Ay! This can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue!
Seeing that a few of them were struggling to get the girl to the fire in front of them, Zhu Yifeng took out some more wine, opened her clenched teeth and poured it down. After such a rectification, after a while, the little beggar's pulse began to beat strongly. After a while, his nose seemed to be angry, and his face was a little red, but he hadn't fully woken up yet.
Zhu Yifeng, who was sitting by the bonfire, thought about things silently, and from time to time would cast his eyes on the little girl who almost froze to death but was saved by himself.
I saved her, but who will save me?
In the next, unknown journey, what kind of encounters will there be, even if they arrive in Wuchang safely, how will the Taiping army over there treat themselves? Will they be like bandits and just cut themselves down, or will they be like ...... Looking at Pierre, who was looking at the broken clay fetal statue with curious eyes, Zhu Yifeng secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that those Taiping troops would really regard foreigners as "foreign brothers", if that was the case, this Pierre would be his own life talisman.
The aroma of the cooked corned beef on the fire rack is bursting with fragrance, and the oil droplets fall on the fire, and there is a "sizzling" sound, and a long green smoke comes out. The beef was brought down from the ship, and corned beef was also the most common food in the Age of Discovery. Seeing that the beef was roasted, Yu Xiaobao picked a piece of browned beef and held it in both hands and sent it to the adults. Looking at the meat, and then at the girl, thinking of the unknown fate, Zhu Yifeng, who had no appetite at all, shook his head and said.
"Brothers, Eat First......"
Looking at the adult's face, and then looking at the girl by the fire, Lin Yuqing hurriedly comforted.
"My lord, I know that you are always a bodhisattva, but don't be too sad. It's inevitable that someone will freeze to death this winter, and if you don't even eat......"
What the?
What and what?
When did Lao Tzu say that he couldn't eat, Lao Tzu was worried about how to protect his life in Wuchang!
I'm worried about how to hook up with the Taiping Army when the time comes!
You thing, when did Lao Tzu say that he wouldn't eat, didn't Lao Tzu know that he was hungry? …… It seems that I really don't feel hungry, and when I get to this job, I can only continue to act.
"Hey, thinking about the suffering of the people in this world, who can endure it...... Okay, let's not talk about that."
followed by another long sigh, and then Zhu Yifeng looked compassionate again.
"Alas, I only hope that in the future, all the people in this world will be able to live a good life, and I only hope that in the future, those who can cultivate in this world will have their fields, and those who live in the world will have their houses, and the people of the world will be able to live and work in peace and contentment......"
After this burst of emotion, Zhu Yifeng stood up and ran to the door, his blazing eyes seemed to penetrate the heavy night outside, his face seemed calm, he kept shouting, screaming, and scolding in his heart.
"This weather, specially, Lao Tzu is about to freeze to death...... What the hell, you......"
The scolding in his heart was happy, but he was not very hungry in his stomach, but he felt some hunger, and when the cold wind blew, Zhu Yifeng felt what hunger and cold were deeply felt.
"Eat, eat, kill you a few ......"
Annoyed, looking at the appearance of several people eating beef, Zhu Yifeng grabbed a wooden stick by the wall and threw it into the fire.
Yu Xiaobao watched from the side, picked out a piece of beef again, tied the meat with a thin stick, carefully scraped off the burnt place on it with a knife, and then walked to Zhu Yifeng's side.
"Boss, I know you are a bodhisattva, but no matter what, you have to eat something, in case your body is hungry, how can it be ......good?"
In Xiaobao's view, this is an opportunity to be courteous, and it is also a good opportunity to deepen his impression in the hearts of the owner, as long as the owner remembers himself, no matter how good his performance is this time, maybe he will be able to follow the owner and never have to go back to fishing.
"Hey......"
Looking at the beef, Zhu Yifeng, who only felt hungry for a while, suddenly had a good impression of the person in front of him, and while sighing, he seemed to look at the piece of meat helplessly, and the smell of meat suddenly came to his nose.
At this moment, he saw that the little beggar seemed to move, Zhu Yifeng hurriedly abandoned the hunger in his stomach for a while and walked over, seeing that the little beggar seemed to have woken up, only to hear her cry in a very weak voice.
"Water...... Water ......"
It wasn't until the time to feed the little beggar tea that Zhu Yifeng had time to look at this face full of fragrant ash and pot ash, this little beggar's nose bridge is very high, and his facial features are extremely three-dimensional and exquisite, which is completely different from those women after coming to this era, although his face is full of dust, but looking at the little skin exposed between the neck and the ash, it can still be seen that her skin is very good, the skin is as white as ivory and like a baby's tenderness, lined with the frozen red and swollen skin, it looks a little dazzling.
This happened made Zhu Yifeng suddenly curious.
What does this little beggar look like?
After a closer look, Zhu Yifeng found that although her face was full of dust, if she threw away the dust, she could find that this little beggar actually had an extremely beautiful face, a palm-sized melon seed face, a sharp chin, long eyelashes, and a touching little mouth, hmm...... No wonder the face is so gray, it seems that this is deliberately made by the little beggar.
It's no wonder that such a beautiful face...... But how did such a beautiful jade man end up here, become a little beggar, and still be in this wilderness?
Although the girl still had her eyes closed when she was drinking water, looking at the long eyelashes, Zhu Yifeng believed that if these eyes were opened, they would be a pair of talking eyes, and they would definitely be very smart.
After a while, the little beggar finished drinking the soup, and the big beautiful eyes slowly opened, although they were very bleak, but it was indeed the same as Zhu Yifeng imagined before, this is a pair of eyes that can talk and hook people, but if it is according to the standards of this era, she may not be a beauty, at least double eyelids are not popular in this era, and big eyes are also not popular.
The girl looked blankly at the people around her and asked in a weak voice.
"I, am I in hell?"
The girl's words made Zhu Yifeng's brows rise slightly, why does this girl speak with a Cantonese accent? Could it be that she is from Guangdong...... Taiping Army! This discovery made Zhu Yifeng's heart jump slightly. Could it be that he was really sleepy and sent a pillow, and he saved the "little princess" of the "prince".
