For a few more days, Tang Ji and Tang Jian both spent their days in Yuhang County.

In front of the building, there are still people coming and going.

Walking here, Tang Jian suddenly remembered the scene of the last time he met Feng Qingxuan in Linxian Pavilion, and Tang Ji's reaction was still vivid.

"Eh, Brother Ji, why don't we go to Linxian Pavilion?" Tang Jian bumped Tang Ji with his shoulder and said with a smile, "Maybe we can meet Miss Feng again?"

In fact, Tang Ji also remembered the scene of that day at this time, thinking about the beautiful woman at that time, and said in his heart what was wrong with him, it was just an NPC, a virtual electronic character.

Hearing Tang Jian's words, he still couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his face showed a burst of crimson.

"Stop, you stinky boy!"

With a shout, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the sound of a child chirping was heard.

Tang Ji frowned, turned his head to look, not far from Xi Liansheng, there was a group of people standing in the middle of nowhere, watching the excitement.

Through the cracks in the crowd, a little boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in tatters, his face covered with mud and sweat stains.

At this time, he was holding a large bun in each of his two black and gray hands, and one was stuffed in his mouth, and his whole cheek was bulging, and he was whimpering and speechless.

"Whose child are you, have you given money? How do you steal buns!"

The seller of the buns was a middle-aged man, not tall, and when he saw that the little boy was holding the buns in his hand, but he didn't give money, he shouted angrily and asked.

The clip he was holding in his hand, which was originally intended to hold buns, was now waving in the air.

The boy had the bun stuffed in his mouth, unable to speak, and did not dare to run, but only stood in place, his cheeks moving rapidly, choking and rolling his eyes, and it took a long time to swallow the bun in his mouth.

"I didn't steal the buns. The little boy said, the corners of his mouth twitched, and tears were about to flow, "This is what you picked up just now when you took the steamer and fell to the ground, I saw that you didn't pick it up." ”

Tang Ji looked from afar, and sure enough, he saw the two buns in his hand, and there was still dust on them.

"Drop on the ground, that's also mine, if you don't tell it, it's stealing!" The middle-aged man who sold buns was about to hit with the clip in his hand.

"I see you, you're used to petty theft! At a young age, you don't learn well! Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"Don't hit me, I'm really not a thief!" the little boy raised his hands, put them on his head, and said with a crying voice, "Can't I give you back the bun?"

"Where is it so easy, today, the master is going to beat you!" The middle-aged man became more and more forgetful, and even called himself the master, a seller of steamed buns, how arrogant he was.

As he spoke, the clip in his hand struck the little boy's head.

Although there were many onlookers here, everyone was just whispering, and no one stood up to say a word.

"Stop!"

Tang Ji finally couldn't stand it anymore.

When he was in Fengtai City, those people on the side of the road who knelt on the ground and begged for ten yuan and eight yuan to buy food, he really wouldn't give money, but he was willing to take those people to have a full meal.

Unfortunately, most of those people would not go to dinner with him.

At this moment, seeing this little boy who picked up buns to eat and was about to be beaten, but no one around spoke for him, Tang Ji suddenly felt that the world had less kindness towards this little boy.

"I bought these buns, how much does it cost!" Squeezing through the crowd, Tang Ji stood between the little boy and the middle-aged man, shielded the little boy with his body, and stared at the middle-aged man fiercely.

From childhood to adulthood, Tang Ji was the most reluctant to bully others, and he also caused a lot of trouble for this, but he was stubbornly unwilling to change in his heart.

In Quanzhou Mansion, he teamed up with Ye Qingchen to save Zhang Jia, although there was an urgent need for bounties to support expenses, more often than not, the Heavenly King Gang was bullying.

Right now, this little boy, in the words of Fengtai City, is obviously a vulnerable group, and Tang Ji naturally can't bear to see him being bullied.

"Five cents. When the middle-aged man saw that someone came out to support the little boy, and he was still a Jianghu man with a sword, his momentum shrank suddenly, and he became submissive, for fear of causing trouble to himself.

"Hmph, five cents, don't look for it!"

Tang Ji took out a dime of scattered silver from his pocket and threw it over.

The middle-aged man who sells buns, what he handles on weekdays is nothing more than some copper plates, and when he saw that the young man threw it over with silver, he hurriedly went to pick it up, and then held it to the corner of his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and then put it into the bag with confidence.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's just that this kid doesn't look like a good person at first glance, but you have to be careful, don't be deceived by him. The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"What's your name?" Tang Ji ignored the man, turned around, squatted down, took the bun from the little boy's hand, patted the ash on it, stuffed it back into him, and asked softly.

"My name is Finch. The little boy looked at the bun in his hand, then at the young man in front of him, and said, "I'm really not a thief." ”

"I know, I believe in you. Tang Ji smiled and said, "Go home early, don't hang outside." ”

"Wow~" When she heard Tang Ji ask him to go home, she cried loudly.

This can make Tang Ji at a loss.

"Okay, okay, the finch doesn't cry. Tang Ji gently stroked the finch's hair and comforted him.

In Fengtai City, Tang Ji is a single dog, but he is very popular with children, whether it is a relative's family or a colleague's child, they all like to play with Tang Ji.

"How do you bully a child!"

A cold voice came from afar, a woman walked briskly, and the crowd spontaneously made way for her.

Because she is Feng Qingxuan, no one in Yuhang County knows.

Feng Qingxuan doesn't know what's going on these days, his heart is always not quiet, and he always thinks of Xiliansheng to take a look. Today, too, in front of the window of Linxian Pavilion, I sat for half a morning, but I didn't touch the guqin once.

As soon as she came out of Xilian, she saw a group of people surrounding the bun shop, and a little boy was crying there.

"Under ......"

When Tang Ji heard this, he looked up and saw that it was Feng Qingxuan, and when he was about to export, he shrank back again, not knowing how to explain.

Feng Qingxuan was also slightly stunned when he saw that it was Tang Ji, and an unnatural expression on his face gradually surfaced.

On the same day in Linxian Pavilion, Tang Ji chanted two lines of poetry for Feng Qingxuan's piano skills, and his literary style was not weak. It was Feng Qingxuan who always remembered such a person, but the current scene was a little embarrassing.

"It's the Wind Girl. Tang Jian, who was originally outside the crowd, saw Feng Qingxuan coming over, and also squeezed into the crowd to greet her.

"This sister, the finch is not bullied by him, but she just cries when she thinks of her mother. ”

Seeing Feng Qingxuan glaring at Tang Ji angrily, Que'er hurriedly stood up and explained, it was not at all like a seven or eight-year-old child could understand.

Feng Qingxuan listened to Que'er's words, and her originally somewhat unnatural face was quickly covered with red glow, daring to love herself for a while, but she misunderstood Tang Ji.

"Let's go and talk, let's talk in another place. Tang Jian pulled up Tang Ji and fanned the wind with the palm of her hand as she spoke, as if she was unbearable, wanting to fan away the smell of steamed buns floating over.

"Sparrow, go, I'll send you. Tang Ji said, took a piece of oiled paper from the bun stall, and planned to wrap the bun in Que'er's hand.

"Use this, use this. Tang Jian dragged the oiled paper over, pulled another one, wrapped the bun, tied the knot, and stuffed it into the finch to carry in his hand.

The four of them left the bun shop, Feng Qingxuan led the way to Xi Liansheng, and on the way, Que'er told Feng Qingxuan what happened again.

"Tang Gongzi, I'm really sorry, it's Qing Xuan who is reckless. Feng Qingxuan stopped and apologized to Tang Ji very sincerely.

"Wind Maiden doesn't have to be like this. Tang Ji hurriedly shook his hand, "Miss Feng is also kind, besides, it is also a good time to meet next, and I can't bear to see the finch being bullied." ”

"If Miss Feng doesn't want to go, you might as well be a little east and invite our brothers to have a drink, how about this idea?"

Tang Jian said with a grin.

"It's all at the gate of Xiliansheng, even if I don't go, our brother Ji wants to go. ”

A joke made both of them crimson.

"Of course no problem, please inside. ”

The bun shop was originally not far from Xi Liansheng, and a few people had already arrived at the door while talking, and the shopkeeper Sun saw Feng Qingxuan going and returned, and he also took the young man who followed Ye Qingchen a few days ago, and he had already run out to greet him.

Finch stood in front of Xilian's ascension, not knowing whether to go in or not, with her head down, the soles of her shoes rubbing on the ground.

"Finch, why haven't you come yet. Tang Ji looked back and saw the appearance of the finch, and couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart, and hurriedly shouted.

"Good Ratcha. The finch happily followed Tang Ji and ran into the Xiliansheng Restaurant.

Again, I came to Linxian Pavilion.

"Wow, it's beautiful!"

In the end, the finch is still a child's heart, and quickly forgot the unhappiness that happened just now, entered the Linxian Pavilion, looked around, and shouted in surprise.

The three adults couldn't help but sigh, and Feng Qingxuan ordered a few kinds of wine and food, and sat around a small round table.

After a while, a guy brought in a pot of tea, Feng Qingxuan waved his hand, and let the guy go down.

"Finch, where is your home?"

Seeing that Feng Qingxuan was about to pour tea for everyone, Tang Ji hurriedly grabbed his hand, picked up the teapot, and found something to say while pouring tea.

"Thank you for your help today. Que'er picked up the teacup in front of her, followed the appearance of an adult, and sent the teacup to Tang Ji, staring at Tang Ji with a pair of watery eyes.

"Little kid, there's a lot of things. Tang Ji took the teacup with a smile, drank all the tea in one gulp, and put the cup in front of him.

Seeing Tang Ji drinking tea, Que'er poured another one for herself, and then told her life experience, a seven or eight-year-old child, could he speak clearly, and he actually said that the score was not messy.

"Que'er's family is in Chuzhou, follow my mother here to join my relatives......"

It turned out that the Que'er family was originally in Chuzhou, but three years ago her father died of illness, and after three years of filial piety, her mother sold the family property and took the Bird to Yuhang County to join her distant uncle.

It was only because the two states were far away and they had not exchanged letters for many years, so when they inquired in Yuhang County, they found that this distant uncle was no longer there.

The mother and son rented a small courtyard outside the Jinshui Gate in the east of the city, paid the rent, and there was not much silver left in the pocket.

I never thought that the mother of the finch was infected with the epidemic this spring, and she passed away after spending all her savings, leaving the little finch alone, relying on the neighbors to barely survive, and it was naturally impossible to study.

"Alas, poor baby. After listening to Que'er's life experience, Feng Qingxuan couldn't help but think of herself, and raised her hand to wipe her tears.

Ertang on the side was also silent for a while when he heard it.

Although this world is quite peaceful and the lives of ordinary people are guaranteed, there are always some unfortunate things that continue to happen, staging the joys and sorrows of the world.

"Qi'er, my surname is Tang, you can call me Brother Tang in the future. Tang Ji pursed his lips and said.

"Yes, Brother Tang. ”

"Finch, why don't you come to Xiliansheng to help in the future? I can take care of you too. Feng Qingxuan, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, said.

"Thank you, Sister Feng, Que'er ......" Que'er stood up, waved at Feng Qingxuan, and as she spoke, she glanced at Tang Ji with her eyes, "Que'er wants to follow Brother Tang, I can help you beat your back, well, give you a ...... ink"

While thinking about what she could do, she watched Tang Ji's reaction.

"Poof~"

Tang Ji didn't say anything yet, Tang Jian squirted out a sip of tea directly, he didn't expect Que'er to say such a sentence at all, was it because Tang Ji helped him in the bun shop?

"Que'er, what about your big brother Tang, you're still single. ”

Huh? The finch was confused.

What does it mean to be single?

Does it have anything to do with what I said?

"That's right, finch. Tang Ji cleared his throat and said in his heart that this was a little embarrassing, "Brother Tang is a Jianghu person, and he won't stay in one place for too long, you are still so young......"

"The finch is not small, the finch is eight years old. ”

"Well, the finch is eight years old......" Tang Ji felt that he was bewitching Qiankun, more like a passerby, and at some point, he would leave here and return to the source world.

It's just that the finch is still young, even if he takes him with him, if he can't start and finish well, I'm afraid that it will delay him. But how can you refuse him?

Tang Ji found that he had no way to refuse ruthlessly.

If he can't get Yan to Chonghu, and Aunt Pei can't find herself, she will stay in the bewitching world, and it doesn't hurt to take the finch with him, even if he wanders the rivers and lakes, it is better than being helpless by himself.

Tang Ji was in a dilemma, he wanted to help the finch, but he was also worried that he would not be able to do a good job.

He watched the finch staring at himself with sparkling eyes, and his clear eyes were also looking at himself.

He's just a kid.

In the end, Tang Ji still made up his mind to take Qi'er first, even if he really wanted to leave one day, he would send Qi'er to Wudang Mountain, the master he had not yet met, at least he would have a place to live.

It's also better than letting him continue to be outcast.

"Que'er, in a while, you take Brother Tang to worship your mother, and then follow Brother Tang and wander the rivers and lakes. ”

"Okay~" Seeing that Tang Ji agreed, the finch was overjoyed, and almost jumped up.

"However, before the words, follow me, you will be my younger brother, you have to obey my discipline, read, read, practice martial arts, and you can't be afraid of hardship!" Tang Ji thought for a while and said.

"Yes, big brother. "Que'er is really a clever child, not at all as immature as ordinary seven or eight-year-old children, maybe this is the inevitability of his early exposure to the warmth and coldness of the world?

But why is his eyes so clear?

"Congratulations to Tang Gongzi. Feng Qingxuan saw that Tang Ji had taken Que'er as his younger brother, so he also raised the teacup and said playfully, "In the future, Que'er will follow your eldest brother and learn more skills." ”

"Come on, come on, there's a good show to watch. ”

Tang Jian got up and walked to the window, looked out, and said mysteriously.

"What's the show?"

After being in contact with Tang Jian for a few days, Tang Ji saw more of his deep affection for Ye Jingyi and his demented appearance, and now that he was so mysterious, he couldn't help but be curious, and got up and walked to the window.

Feng Qingxuan and Que'er, seeing that the two of them were like this, also leaned over.

"Look, well, right there, it's going to be a good show. ”

Tang Jian pointed out, it was the steamed bun shop just now.

Sure enough, someone came to the bun shop and was arguing with the middle-aged man at the bun shop, but he was at a distance and couldn't hear what he was saying. Watching the two of them pointing at each other, it was quite intense.

What kind of show is this? A few people couldn't help but wonder a little.

However, things soon took a new turn. Soon there was a second, a third, a fourth...... More and more people gathered in front of the bun shop and argued with the middle-aged man.

There are even more emotional people who want to overturn the stall of the bun shop.

"What the hell did you do?"

Tang Ji saw the smug smile on Tang Jian's face, and immediately understood, it must have been something this guy had done.

"Oh, I see, it's the oiled paper?"

Feng Qingxuan suddenly remembered a detail, when Tang Ji took a piece of oiled paper to pack buns for Qi'er, but was replaced by Tang Jian.

"It's still the wind girl who is smart! This son only punished him slightly. Tang Jian smiled, "Who let him bully a child." ”

"Well, then, I added some ingredients to his bun shop......

"You...... Poisoned!" Tang Ji remembered that this guy was the heir of the Tang family in western Sichuan.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't say it so ugly!" Tang Jian hurriedly said.

"I just gave him oiled paper and hands, and added something to make people diarrhea, and it was okay to eat it. It's just that his future steamed bun business is afraid that it will not be good. ”

"Because within three days, anything he handles, he eats it, he will have diarrhea. ”

"Well deserved!" hahaha......" several people laughed in unison.

In fact, restaurants are unhygienic, and eating bad stomach is unavoidable in many places. Like this steamed bun shop, everyone may resist for a period of time, and forget about it after a long time, after all, this is a small problem.

Ten miles east of Yuhang County, there is a mass grave, where many people who cannot be buried dignified after death are hastily buried, and after the death of Que'er's mother, with the help of neighbors, they are also buried here.

A small mound is a sloppy tomb, with some paper money scattered around it, and a wooden tombstone is still from Tang Jixinshu.

"Mother, the finch is going to follow Brother Tang, he is very good to the finch , don't worry. It's just that after that, the finches won't be able to come to see you often......"

The finch knelt in front of the mound, kowtowing and talking, and the immature voice was tear-jerking.

After the finch sacrificed to his mother, Tang Ji stepped forward again and bowed to the mound.

"This eldest sister, although I don't know who you are, since I have a relationship with Que'er, I, Tang Ji, will definitely treat him well, as long as I, Tang Ji, am still in this world, I will definitely protect him and teach him to become a man who stands up to the sky. ”

The men saluted the mound again before they left again.

At the time of separation, Feng Qingxuan looked at the distant figures of the three of them, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Tang Ji for the first time, the young man with a blushing face in his heart, those two talented poems, and the distant figure in front of him gradually overlapped.

"Baiyu is a young man, and the beautiful breeze is unparalleled in the world......"

Thinking about it, Feng Qingxuan's face flushed, just like the spring breeze blowing, and Mo Shang's flowers bloomed shyly.

Ye Qingchen was quite surprised that Tang Ji brought back a child, and always wondered if this would be Tang Ji's illegitimate child, but he didn't expect Tang Ji to move so quickly, although Tang Ji explained many times, he was still hesitant.

After some grooming and tidying, the finch completely changed, plus she had read some books before, and talked decently, so she got along with the children in the villa quite happily, and soon made several children.

In his free time, Tang Ji will also teach Que'er to read some books, relying on his own accumulation, citing from the side, and telling the truth thoroughly and clearly.

This move shocked Tang Jian, and often said that there is a character like Brother Ji in this world, it is not just as simple as both civil and military, it is simply a literary and military heritage, and martial arts can be used to secure the country, which is rare to see in a hundred years.
