Although Chang'an is the most prosperous city in the Tang Dynasty, beggars still exist, and the gap between the rich and the poor does not exist especially because of the dynasty, as long as there is a place for society, this phenomenon will exist.

In the southwest corner of Chang'an County, there is a waste garden near the wall, this waste garden is different from other waste gardens, there are no weeds here, clean like a newly built garden, there is a crooked and slanted small sign in front of the garden, which says crooked three words "big family", it is not magnificent, but there is a trace of innocence, although the garden is large, but there are only ten little beggars living there, they are between the ages of eight and sixteen, there are men and women.

They went out early and returned late every day, and shared their proceeds with everyone as public goods, and although they were beggars, they were disciplined and organized, and their leader was a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, who was the oldest and most burly, and was also their elupend.

Huo Lin'er is the boss here, every day his job is basically to assign who to go out to work, and then divide the points with everyone, under his leadership, everyone gets along in harmony, because he has always been fair and just, knows how to consider the beggars below, and knows how to care.

Today, Huo Lin'er put on a sad and bitter face, sitting there in rags, bored with a branch and constantly slapping the ground, the ground has been made by him a small hole, his worries will not be reduced by this.

After the drought a while ago, the market has been bad recently, and the brothers who go out can often only get one or two steamed buns, and they are also the steamed buns that others don't want.

On average, everyone can't eat a steamed bun a day, everyone is hungry, this is a barren place, even mice refuse to come here, and Huo Lin'er, who has the idea of eating mice, can only realize this wonderful idea in his dreams.

It's been three days of hunger, and if it goes on like this, the brothers and sisters around will starve to death, the youngest Ling'er is already sick in bed, and can't get medicinal materials, Huo Lin'er can only watch Ling'er moan on the bed, whenever he hears her moaning, Huo Lin'er's heart is like a fire, and he feels so uncomfortable for the first time.

Don't dare to look at Ling'er, the emaciated and haggard Ling'er will make him can't hold back his tears, but he can't shed tears, he can't let everyone see that he can't support it, and now, he is the only hope for the other nine people.

Early in the morning, the eight brothers and sisters had already set off to look for food and medicinal herbs, and Huo Lin'er very much hoped that they could bring good news today, not asking for a lot of food and drink, but only asking everyone to fill their stomachs that had been empty for a few days, and only hoping that there would be a conscientious shopkeeper who could reward some medicinal materials for Ling'er to heal.

Looking at the blue clear sky, Huo Lin'er really wanted to scold his ancestors for the eighteenth generation, if he hadn't caused a drought, their current life would not be so sad, but it was a pity that he didn't know who God's ancestors were in the eighteenth generation, and he could only stare at the sky viciously, silently cursing this ruthless God in his heart.

A gust of wind blew, bringing up dust, bringing coolness, and also bringing a burst of fragrance, Huo Lin'er's whole person immediately got up, secretly happy in his heart, threw away the branch that was only half long, and sat up on the ground, could it be that the brothers and sisters brought back good food today?

Siye looked over, didn't see a figure, only heard the sound of gentle footsteps, Huo Lin'er sat down decadently, and the heart that was just surprised was instantly watered with cold water, this footstep was very unfamiliar, Huo Lin'er knew that this was by no means the footsteps of his brothers and sisters, he had been with them for a long time, and he knew everyone's footsteps very clearly.

But who would come to this abandoned garden, no one else has ever been here, the garden is surrounded by the city wall, there is no other way to go, who came here on purpose?

When the fragrance was stronger, the puzzled Huo Lin'er finally knew that the person who brought this fragrance was a young man who was a little younger than himself, with the face of a son, he carried two large baskets in each hand, and there was an adult standing beside him, this person was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was holding a sword in his left hand.

As soon as the young man walked in front of Huo Lin'er, he smiled and put two baskets of fragrant and misty baskets containing unknown things in front of Huo Lin'er's feet, and the two white cloths on them were lifted, and white steamed buns with white flowers and steaming hot immediately appeared in front of him, and there were four greasy fat chicken thighs on them.

Huo Lin'er's eyes immediately lit up, staring at the steamed buns and chicken legs tightly, not daring to move away, for fear that as soon as his gaze left, the food in front of him would disappear.

He didn't dare to move, swallowed his saliva, smacked his mouth and didn't stretch out his hand, just stared hungrily, without the permission of the young man, he didn't dare to eat casually.

"Don't be stunned, eat, it's all yours."

The young man's words made Huo Lin'er immediately cheer up, and his eyes were full of surprises, these were all for himself? So much deliciousness, still fresh, being a beggar for so long has never had such a rich food, it seems, before being a beggar, I have eaten chicken legs once, it has been a long time since I was paid, I don't know if the taste in my memory is still there.

A few days of fasting made Huo Lin'er forget everything, grabbed two steamed buns with both hands and nibbled wildly together・・・・・・

Looking at the hungry beggar devouring steamed buns, Lin Fan suddenly felt that he was as great as a savior, and it was nothing more than sending charcoal in the snow.

Chose a stone not far away and sat down, quietly admiring the beggar eating steamed buns and gnawing chicken legs, he was not greedy, he didn't continue to eat after eating four steamed buns and one chicken leg, but his stomach was still growling, Lin Fan knew that he was storing grain, waiting for others to eat together, next time he ate, after all, it was difficult to beg for food these days.

He wrapped the two baskets in white cloth and carried them into the garden, and soon the voice of him calling for a man named Ling'er came from inside, and after about a quarter of an hour he came out satisfied, and beside him was a little girl of about eight years old, she was very thin, her haggard face was full of sickness, and she coughed after two steps, and the whole person was very weak.

"My name is Huo Lin'er, I am the eldest of the big family, she is the youngest of the ten of us, her name is Ling'er, I know that after you sent us steamed buns and chicken legs, I have to come out to thank you in person."

Huo Lin'er was about to kneel down to thank Ling'er, but was stopped by Lin Fan, the weak Ling'er said a few words of thanks with difficulty, and then Huo Lin'er walked into the garden with his support, and when Huo Lin'er came out, Lin Fan couldn't see a beggar, but a little bit of a parent's appearance, as soon as he came out, he asked Lin Fan bluntly: "No merit, let's say, what can we beggars do for you?" ”

Surprised, Lin Fan glanced up and down at Huo Lin'er a few times, a little underestimated this beggar head, these two days here secret visit did not find its special features, today we get along only to know that this person is far more mature than imagined, in terms of dealing with the world, he is not like a hairy boy who is not well versed in the world, he actually knows his intention to offer steamed buns and chicken legs.

After a haha, he took out a large stack of paper from his arms and said with a smile: "Simple, paste these to the nine squares near Yongping Fang, including Yongping Fang, you walk through the streets and alleys all year round, you should know where these markets are, right?" ”

Huo Lin'er raised his head and said: "Naturally, there are Yonghe Fang, Yong'an Fang, Jiahui Fang, Tongzhen Fang, Chang'an Fang, Dunyi Fang, Yanfu Fang, and Waiting for Medical Treatment. ”

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Do a good job next time you have something to look for you, then it will no longer be a return for a few steamed buns, there will be no less copper plates, don't look at me so surprised, I always count when I speak, look at your appearance, haven't you smelled copper for a long time?"

Huo Lin'er nodded hungrily, as if she couldn't help but get hungry just thinking about the smell of copper.

"Then let you smell ・・・・・・ Ling'er has a serious cold, grab some medicine for her to eat." Gave ten coppers, turned around and left with a faint smile, leaving the moved Huo Lin'er stunned in the local area, turned a few alleys before walking to the street, did not linger too much, stopped a carriage and went out of Chang'an, along the way, the royal forest guards around him did not say a word, specifically, since Lin Fan set off from home, he had not spoken to Lin Fan since he began to follow, a pair of eyes like an eagle looked around, extremely vigilant.

With such a cautious bodyguard by his side, Lin Fan felt very relieved, with the support of the emperor, he was more bold and relieved to do things, he had helped himself so much, and he had to do something for him, didn't he dare to make a move, then give him a little push.

When he was about to get home, the royal forest guards around him quietly disappeared into the mountain range without saying hello, although the people were not around, Lin Fan knew that there were a pair of eagle-like eyes watching every move around the Lin family all the time, and once there was any trouble, these people would immediately appear in front of him.

As soon as he got home, Xiaoxue held a branch and wrapped it around Lin Fan, since the government and the Wang family wanted to arrest Lin Fan, he felt that the danger was approaching, and the next day he persuaded his family not to let Xiaoxue go to the Yilin Inn again on the grounds that those people would take Xiaoxue hostage and force him to hand over the paper scroll, he didn't think those people would think that they would not think of catching Xiaoxue and forcing him to comply.

The family didn't know what the government came to the house to pick up the paper for, but simply thought that it was jealous of Lin Fan's literary talent, although Xiaoxue didn't believe in this statement, but she felt that it was a great thing to be able to read a few words and write a few words, so she took advantage of the few days when she took refuge at home to learn words, pen and ink rice paper did not dare to waste, so she had to lie on the ground and write with a branch, helpless Lin Fan was moved by her studious sister, so she had to follow her to lie on the ground and teach her to write stroke by stroke, at this time he did not feel how dirty the ground was......
