Chapter 128: The Wanderer
After saying this, the boy looked nervous, afraid that Ye Qinzhu would suddenly regret it.
He was holding Jiuhui, for fear that Ye Qinzhu would come up and grab it.
"I'm almost getting the light out of Jiuhui here, and you'd be hard-pressed to find another one. He stressed.
"Okay, I bought it. Ye Qinzhu replied with a smile, she caught a glimpse of the boy's expression suddenly relaxed, and added suspiciously, "Where are you child?
"I'm from the west of the city. The boy replied sullenly, he put the spirit grass with mud on Ye Qinzhu's fingers, dragged the vines, and tried to slide down from it, "If you are dirty, I will move Jiuhui out for you, and you can give the money." ”
Seeing the boy's such a hard and simple method, Ye Qinzhu sighed helplessly in her heart, she grabbed the boy's wrist and picked him up.
The boy was only seven or eight years old, but he was very light. He fluttered hard in her hands, but he couldn't beat the strength of a spirit master.
"Where do you live, you show the way, I'll send you there. ”
Ye Qinzhu pulled the boy to his side and turned around towards the west.
"My family is very recognizable, the only house with a yard in the West End. The boy screamed at first, but when he realized that Ye Qinzhu had no malicious intentions, he stopped making noise.
With a yard? It seems that the family is not bad, how can the child who comes out thin like this?
Ye Qinzhu nodded, and as soon as his legs were forced, the sound of the wind in his ears suddenly became noisy.
The boy's eyes widened in surprise as he felt his first flight in his life.
"What's your name?" Ye Qinzhu lowered his head and asked in his spare time.
"My name is Finch. The boy replied, "What about you, miss?"
Since the person in front of him can get ten taels of silver, he must be a big lady.
In the past, he had only heard anecdotes about rich and noble families. Now that I look at it, the young lady of the big family really looks like a fairy.
"My surname is Qin. Ye Qinzhu replied.
The boy happily felt the churning of the air, and Ye Qinzhu was engrossed in searching for the house with the courtyard.
This was the first time she came to Xicheng, and she could only see dilapidated houses everywhere, as well as homeless people who were paralyzed on the ground without even broken houses.
The outcasts were bleeding and wailing.
"Recently there has been a plague epidemic in West Side. "Mr. deliberately cleaned up the yard inside and out, but Ying'er still had an accident." ”
"Ying'er?" Ye Qinzhu had already found his destination and asked casually.
"Ying'er is my sister. Que'er frowned sadly, "But Ying'er is sick, and she needs money for treatment, and I have no money, so I can only sell herbs for money." ”
The smile on the corner of Ye Qinzhu's mouth disappeared, and as soon as she landed on the clean stone floor of the yard, the finch broke free from her arms and rushed into the house with her throat pulled.
"Sir, sir, Ying'er is saved!"
Suddenly there was a noise in the room, as if dozens of mouths were talking.
Ye Qinzhu was puzzled, and the door opened open, and more than a dozen little dolls poured out of it.
These dolls, the oldest of whom is no more than ten years old, and the youngest one is about four or five years old, and they are toddlers.
They were all very thin, especially a few children, and it was a little difficult to even stand firm.
Ye Qinzhu opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
And the children also opened their mouths, looking curiously at the healthy, well-dressed eldest lady in front of them.
"Hong'er, Qing'er, come back to me. The people who were originally in the house couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the group of children, so they could only follow out.
It was the only adult in the group of children who spoke, about twenty-five or sixteen years old.
He was good-looking, but he was thinner than all the children.
Although the children are also thin, at least there is no skin and bones, and through the man's five fingers, Ye Qinzhu can almost clearly see the structure of the bones.
He was wearing a greasy gown, and his hair had not been washed for days.
Despite his efforts to maintain the image of a scholar, his image can only be described as dejected and miserable among this outcast.
Ye Qinzhu knew that Ning Guo was in the midst of it, but for the first time, she really saw the appearance of the victims, whether it was outside the courtyard or in the courtyard, she was greatly shocked.
"This girl is ......" When they saw the living, the children only cared about looking at it, but it was the gentleman who spoke first.
"Sir, sir......" Que Er hurriedly tugged at the man's sleeve robe, "she is the buyer, and she is willing to pay ten taels of silver to buy our Jiuhui!"
He shouted with joy, his surprise palpable.
Hearing this, the man first glanced at Ye Qinzhu in disbelief, and then sank his complexion, revealing a few expressions of struggle.
"If the girl wants to buy Jiuhui, we will naturally give it up, but if the girl is here to discuss another deal, please go back. ”
He took a few steps forward, blocking the waist-length children behind him.
"Sir, I misunderstood, I just met the finch by chance, and I didn't think anything wrong. Ye Qinzhu waved his hand again and again, expressing that he had no interest in boys and girls.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, changed his smile, and turned around and instructed Que'er: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and take out the things." ”
The finch answered loudly, and disappeared with a puff of smoke.
When the finch left, Ye Qinzhu was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the children's eyes on the side.
"What's wrong...... Is it?" was stared at by more than a dozen children at the same time with the eyes of looking at food, Ye Qinzhu felt a little creepy.
"The man said that the people of the city were well dressed and well fed. One of the girls was wrapped in a red cloth and said timidly, "Miss, do you have anything to eat?"
"Hong'er, don't be rude to guests. The man frowned, turned his head and scolded.
He wanted to apologize to the uninvited guest, but when he saw the girl who came to the courtyard, he bent his eyebrows and said without anger: "Yes." ”
Hong'er's eyes flashed instantly.
She saw the fairy lady take out a small black pebble, frowning and rummaging through it, and finally took out the porcelain bowl that had always looked very expensive from it, and lifted the lid on it.
A smell of meat wafted out of the bowl and went straight to the tip of Hong'er's nose.
Hong'er just looked at it stupidly for a while, and the saliva couldn't stop flowing.
Ye Qinzhu made a rough estimate, there were fifteen children in this courtyard, and there were sixteen adults in total.
She brought a lot of dry food, but she gave dry food to this kind of child who looked hungry for an unknown number of days, and she didn't know if the child's stomach could stand it.
By the way, there is also a warbler in the hospital bed, and there are at least seventeen people in this courtyard.
Thinking of his previous feelings, he still felt that they had a good environment, but now looking at this dilapidated yard, Ye Qinzhu just wanted to slap himself.
There were fourteen babies in a room, except for the finches that had just run away, and they all stared at the eldest lady who came out of the painting, and took out all kinds of delicacies from the small black pebble.
By the way, how did this fairy sister come about? It came down from the sky.
"Sister, can I take a bite. Hong'er asked timidly, for fear that the fairy sister would be unhappy, so she left.
"Eat, one bowl per person. Ye Qinzhu laboriously took out fourteen bowls of porridge from Nashi, and sincerely congratulated himself that he had the habit of loving grain.
Otherwise, she really didn't know how to deal with the situation.
The fourteen children were very well-behaved, and after hearing the reply, they quickly stood in line in an orderly manner, and never took more bowls per person.
Hong'er was at the end of the line, she held the bowl and subconsciously looked at the back room.
"I still have. Ye Qinzhu said.
Hong'er breathed a sigh of relief and devoured the porcelain bowl with her arms.
