In the evening, the second watch sounded, and the people in the house gradually fell asleep.

A small figure crept in through a dog's hole in the western wall, and he crept into the kitchen. When he saw a bowl of stewed chicken on the lid of the pot, his eyes immediately closed with a smile, and he sniffed it intoxicated with his dirty little nose, and said in his mouth: "It's so fragrant, chicken, I want to kill you, come to my stomach." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to pick up the steamed buns and chopsticks next to him and eat them. Although he said that he was very hungry, his eating appearance was not wolf, but made people feel a little elegant.

The little boy was only about ten years old at most, and his little face was so dirty that he couldn't see his appearance, but he had a pair of beautiful eyes like black jewels. He finished a bowl of meat and a big steamed bun in a short time. He looked around the kitchen again, then patted his little belly contentedly and said, "I'm so full, if only I had another bowl of fish tomorrow." With that, he took two more steamed buns and walked outside. What he didn't notice was that there were a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows.

These eyes were those of Yaru, and she walked out after watching the little boy walk out with a steamed bun.

The peach next to her said, "Madam, aren't you going to chase it?"

Yaru's face was a little disappointed, he thought at first that this child would come every day, would it be Li Luoming, but this child was not the child she thought. She shook her head and said, "No need to chase, just a little beggar." ”

Although she said this, she clearly found out just now that this child's background should not be from an ordinary family, because this child's little hands are exceptionally clean. The meal is also good, it seems to be well-educated, but I don't know why this child has become a beggar.

The little beggar got out of the dog's hole anyway, and he staggered to the nearby wall, where a young man was looking half-squinting in the direction he had come.

The little beggar happily ran over and said, "Brother Luoming, you see, the chicken made by Ru'er's family is delicious, I originally wanted to leave some meat for you, but I couldn't help but eat it all." ”

That young man was Li Luoming, who had been following Yaru to Yangzhou. After he burned Li Danian's house, he disguised himself as a beggar and hid in the mountains not far from the village during the day, and sometimes went back to see it at night. Luckily, it's autumn, and there is something to eat on the mountain, but it's only enough to fill your stomach. Later, Yaru always felt that someone was following behind, and this person was Li Luoming.

He had a little bit of money left by his mother, and he followed him all the way to Yangzhou, and when the money on his body was spent, he had to beg for a living. Originally, he wanted to find something to do, but when people saw his tattered clothes, they pushed him out. So now, he can only sleep on the side of the street, or in a ruined temple outside Yangzhou. Fortunately, November in Yangzhou is not cold.

He met this little bit when he first arrived in Yangzhou. It's strange to say that this little beggar named Liuliu fell in love with him as soon as he saw him, and he followed him all the time, and he couldn't get rid of him. Fortunately, this little little point is very clever, and the person is not bad, at first he was embarrassed to ask for food, but this little little point asked for half of the food.

Once he watched Aru and them pass by, he kept his eyes on it. Don't look at the young age but a very smart person, he immediately said: "Brother Luo Ming, do you know that very beautiful lady." ”

Luo Ming glared at him with his eyes: "I don't know, you don't meddle." ”

Liuliu said disdainfully: "I don't know, your eyes are staring at people and don't say anything, and I can see it when I look at it." Then he ran in the direction where Aru and the others had gone.

Luo Ming glanced at him and didn't call him back.

Ever since Yaru and the others moved into their new home, Liuliu has been running into Yaru's kitchen every night to get something back.

Li Luoming asked him where he came from, and he admitted very frankly: "I got it from Ru'er's house." ”

This kid is very elf and eccentric, after he learned Yaru's name from Li Luoming, he began to call Yaru "Ru'er".

Li Luoming had warned him many times and asked him to change his name to Mrs. Guan, this kid promised well, and then he still called Ru'er Ru'er.

Later, Li Luoming simply didn't bother to care about him anymore, and warned him never to go to Yaru's house to steal food again.

But this Liuliu said eloquently: "This is not someone else's house, I am going to Ru'er's house to get it, not to steal it." ”

Yes, this kid is quite good at it, when did Mrs. Guan's house become his own home in this kid's heart. Li Luoming expressed his serious contempt for this self-cooked teenager.

Seeing that he took back the steamed bun again, Li Luoming took it and took a bite and said, "Don't go in the future, I'll go to find work tomorrow." We can't always be like this. ”

Liuliu said: "Brother Luo Ming, I said that you are really, Sister Guan's house is going to open a restaurant, you can go to her to be a junior second." ”

Li Luoming smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Liuliu, I'm embarrassed to see Mrs. Guan." She was so good to me, but I left without a word, and now that I'm like this, how can I have the face to see her. ”。

Liuliu thought for a while and said, "It's nothing, Sister Guan must be very concerned about you, she won't blame you." ”

Li Luoming said: "Don't talk about me yet, talk about you, you said that you are a young master of an official family, and you are a beggar outside every day." And hiding from people in your house everywhere. It's not a long-term solution. I think you'd better go home. ”

Liuliu pouted and said, "I'm not going back, that tigress has one set in front of her and one behind her back, and three knives on both sides." She's going to frame me. When my dad wasn't at home, I wouldn't go back. ”

Liuliu looked at Li Luoming again and said, "Brother Luoming doesn't dislike me, if you want to dislike me, I'll go find Ru'er." "This kid will be called Sister Guan for a while, and Ru'er for a while. Li Luoming really has no way to take this little ancestor.

Li Luoming hurriedly surrendered: "Okay, okay, if you don't go home, you won't go home." Whatever you want. ”

Liuliu suddenly smiled: "That's right." "Let's go, let's go back to the ruined temple. So the two of them talked and laughed and wanted to go outside the city.

The next night, Guan Yaru asked the kitchen to leave another big bowl of fish. She was still secretly observing Liuliu.

After Liuliu came in, he was happy when he saw the big bowl of fish: "Hey, did this sister Guan hear me and specially left fish for me, and he sat down and started eating." This time, though, he didn't eat it all, but kept half of it.

He also muttered in his small mouth: "Sister Guan, I'm sorry, I took your bowl away, I want to take it to Brother Ming." “

As he spoke, he took a little bit of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth and said, "It's so fragrant, what should I do if I want to eat it?" ”

He frowned slightly, hesitated, and seemed to have made the greatest determination: "No, let's keep it for Brother Ming." Brother Ming went to find work today, and he must be very tired. The little boy picked up the bowl with his hand and wanted to take two steamed buns, but his little hands were too small, so he had no choice but to put the steamed buns in his pocket, regardless of whether his pocket was clean or not. Then he walked away with the bowl in his two little hands.

After he left, Aru walked out with Peach and Ross. Yan Hong said, "Madam, this kid knows you, he knows your surname Guan." He also called you Sister Guan. Who could this be? ”

Taohong patted her head and said, "You say, will that Brother Ming in his mouth be Li Luoming?"

Guan Yaru had already thought of this. She mused, "Luo Ming should have been following us all along. It's no wonder I always feel as if someone is following us on the road. It should be Luo Ming, that's right. ”

"But why would he rather be a beggar than come to us?" asked Rosé, puzzled.

"Luo Ming is a child with strong self-esteem, his current situation should be very bad, he probably doesn't want us to see his downfall. Aru thought for a moment and said.

"Shall we get him back, then?" asked Rosé.

"When the boy comes back tonight," said Aarru, "we'll catch him and ask him to take us to Romin." ”

Besides, after Liuliu got out of the dog hole, he arrived at the place they agreed on, and Li Luoming came here every day to wait for him.

Li Luoming went to look for a job today, because Liuliu was too young, he didn't take him, but his clothes were so torn that others thought he was here to ask for food when they saw him. Later, at the door of a pharmacy, he saw a group of people looking for Liuliu, and the reason why he knew that they were looking for Liuliu was because he had seen the person in the lead. This person had come to the ruined temple a few days ago, but he was dodged by Liuliu. Liuliu told Li Luoming that this was his housekeeper.

Li Luoming avoided these people and returned to the broken temple, and when he didn't see Liuliu, he thought that Liuliu might go to his wife's to steal food again, so he came to the place where he often waited for Liuliu. But as soon as he arrived, he found the gang wandering around there.

Li Luoming was very anxious, he heard Liuliu say that this housekeeper was a relative of his stepmother, so in Li Luoming's heart, this person would definitely not be a good person. At that time, Liuliu was just lying to Li Luoming, and he was afraid that Li Luoming would hand him over and make up lies.

This man was indeed the housekeeper of their family, but it was not his stepmother's man, but his father's man, Ma Zhong. Ma Zhong watched Liuliu grow up, and he loved this little young master very much. He has been looking for more than half a month, but this little ancestor of theirs is playing hide and seek with them. So many people came out stunned because they didn't catch him.

Ma Zhong was very anxious, the old man was not at home, and the little young master felt that he had been wronged by his stepmother, so he ran away secretly and did not go home. After losing his mother when he was a child, this child grew up like a little wild horse. The master is always not at home, and the stepwife doesn't care much about him, so the little master often runs out, and every time he goes out, he doesn't come back for several days. It's been more than half a month since I ran out, and what should I do if something happens outside? Hey, when the master comes back, he must talk to the master, and then change to a more powerful gentleman, and he can't let the little master continue to mess around like this again.

Today, Ma Zhong heard that he always saw two children, one older and one young, here at night. So today Ma Zhong cast a net here and waited for Liuliu to drill.

Li Luoming avoided Ma Zhong and the others, he wanted to inform Liuliu to dodge, but as soon as he saw Liuliu coming out of it and walking this way, he knew that it was too late.

And Liuliu also found Ma Zhong, he wanted to run, how could Ma Zhong let him run again, he grabbed Liuliu: "Little master, don't run anymore, the master will come back in two days, if you can't find you, you will be beaten by the board." ”

Liuliu struggled and didn't break away, he knew that he couldn't run this time, so he said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, you let go of me, I won't run away, but are you telling the truth, my father is really going home?"

"Yes, how can I lie to the young master. Come back with me. Ma Zhong patted his little head and said gently.

Liuliu's eyes looked around, and he felt that Li Luoming should be nearby, so he put the bowl and steamed buns next to him, and then said to Ma Zhong: "Okay, Uncle Zhong, let's go." ”

After they disappeared, Li Luoming walked out of the shadows, and after he finished eating the steamed buns and fish, he took the bowl and walked towards the broken temple. Liuliu is too young, and he has to go home sooner or later. That's fine. Tomorrow he will continue to look for work, and after finding a job to earn some money and change clothes, he will go to see his wife again.
