Chapter 242: The Blind Girl
It's normal for a wandering artist to make a living by performing arts, just like a mercenary receiving remuneration for doing things for others, and in An Xu's view, as long as he pays for his own labor, any profession is worthy of respect.
If you don't feel to your liking, or if the conditions are difficult, it's okay not to give a tip, but throwing a stone into the pocket of a little girl who is blind in both eyes is a bit excessive.
Children are not sensible, as parents don't know how to persuade them, this is the least respect for people, even An Xu, who doesn't like to cause trouble, can't stand it.
The little girl kept smiling, and every time someone put in a copper, she would bow down in gratitude, and even a few more stones that were obviously not coins, and she did not feel any dissatisfaction.
An Xu just wanted to go and educate those troublesome bear children, An Xin took his hand and handed over an inquiring look, her eyes were red, probably because the singing just now made her feel a lot.
An Xu nodded encouragingly, An Xin showed a bright smile, and then ran over, took out a small wallet, and poured all the coins inside, this is An Xu's pocket money for her, but An Xin has always been frugal in life and has saved a lot of gold coins.
"Thank you!" The little girl thanked and bowed deeply, An Xin embarrassedly hid to the side, and then did not leave, just stood aside, quietly looking at each other, not knowing what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out to An Xu's side, the ten fingers were slender and beautiful, An Xu raised his head in shock, just in time to see Hongluan looking at him expressionlessly.
"You don't have any money?" An Xu said speechlessly, isn't it, you are a lord who came to me to eat and drink for nothing, without even bringing a penny?
Hongluan showed an impatient look, and dangerous information was beating in his eyes - if you don't give it again, I'll grab it!
"Okay, good, let's say okay first, ordinary people's lives are like this, there will be life if you pay, this money can't be given to you in vain, when this mission is over, it will be deducted from your remuneration!" An Xu said righteously as he took out his money bag.
Then the eyes spent, and the money bag was already in Hongluan's hands.
"So fast!" An Xu was shocked, Hongluan obviously only had the strength of about three stars, and he was able to burst out at such a fast speed, so that An Xu didn't even react.
Hongluan checked it in his hand, only then was he a little satisfied, and then put it into the little girl's pocket, this money bag was placed with An Xu's usual daily expenses, and there were dozens of gold coins in it, which sank instantly when they fell into the pocket, and the little girl's strength was a little small, and the bag suddenly came out of her hand and fell to the ground.
An Xin picked it up and handed it back to the little girl.
Xu Wei, the little rich woman, also gave a lot of gold coins, and the little girl was surrounded by these people, holding a bag full of coins, a little at a loss.
"You're so cute, can my sister hug you?" Xu Wei squatted beside the little girl and gently held her hand.
It seemed that she could feel Xu Wei's kindness, the little girl tilted her head and thought about it, then smiled and nodded, Xu Wei cheered and gently held the little girl in her arms.
"Little sister, where are your relatives?" An Xu also walked over, he had just noticed that there were a few sneaky guys among the onlookers who looked at the little girl's bag with a bad eye, and it was not a wise move to let a blind little girl stay here alone with so much money.
"My brother went to work, and he will come back to pick me up later!" The little girl couldn't see An Xu, so she could only smile sweetly in the direction of the voice.
"What about your parents?" Xu Wei asked, stroking her silky hair.
The little girl shook her head and replied crisply, "I live with my brother!" ”
Everyone's hearts sank, it seemed that this little girl was also an orphan, Lin Qingqing was a little angry and said: "How can your brother rest assured that you are here alone, you are still so young." ”
The little girl hurriedly said: "My brother loves me very much, I don't want him to work so hard, I heard that I can earn money by singing here, so I came by myself." ”
As if worried that everyone would blame her brother, the little girl repeated: "Really, I don't lie to you." ”
"What a sensible child!" Xu Wei was moved to hug her again.
"Qingqing, it's hard for you, you stay here with her for a while, and when her brother comes back, you come over again, we still have to go to the Therapist Academy, we shouldn't be so fast!"
An Xu pondered for a while, and arranged, they still have tasks to do, they can't all stay here, with Lin Qingqing here, it should be enough to ensure her safety, An Xu also gave Lin Qingqing a look and asked her to pay attention.
If what the little girl said was true, with this money, it should be enough for the two brothers and sisters to tide over the difficulties, and if the little girl was used by criminals, then she would definitely not be able to stand idly by.
An Xu has experienced too much of the dark side of society, and there are even some vicious people in Hidden Moon City, who specialize in abducting and selling homeless orphans, making them steal and beg everywhere to make money.
is such an innocent and kind little girl, so An Xu has to deal with it carefully.
"Okay, don't worry, Captain, I'll pay attention!" Lin Qingqing quickly understood An Xu's intentions, came to the little girl's side, took her hand and said, "Big sister will accompany you and wait for your brother to come back, okay?" ”
"But, the big sister is also busy, right?"
"It's okay, big sister is very idle today!" Lin Qingqing smiled and rubbed her face.
"Alright! I'll sing to my big sister again, and my brother loves to hear me sing! The little girl said.
An Xu explained, and then left with everyone, it had been delayed for a lot of time, Master Kong Nian was still waiting for them at home, Lin Qingqing was a very careful girl, there was no need to worry about her.
Walking on the road, An Xin suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother, I will work hard in a while, and I won't let you work hard." ”
An Xu laughed and scratched her nose: "Brother won't work hard, but if you can be sensible, I'll be satisfied!" ”
Xu Wei was upset for An Xin: "Xin'er is the most sensible, don't listen to your brother's nonsense!" ”
"Hmph, that's it!" An Xinjiao snorted.
Coming to the Therapist Academy, An Xin went to the place where he was teaching, and the rest of the people also came to Master Kong Nian's house, Master Kong Nian had already packed his things and was drinking tea and waiting.
"I'm sorry, Master, something happened on the way, and I came a little late!" An Xu said apologetically, he has always been a very punctual person, and this is the first time he has been late.
"It's okay, I'm not busy old man, you young people's affairs are finally taken care of, right?" Master Kong Nian said.
"Well, it's already, so let's go?"
"Good! This journey will be a little difficult, so I'll leave this old bone to you. Master Kong Nian said with a smile.
An Xu took Master Kong Nian's package, and then the group began to go on the road, originally thinking that Master Kong Nian was old and there would be some trouble on the road.
But unexpectedly, Master Kong Nian's physical fitness is also very good, not like an old man at all, but the itinerary is a little slower, this mission is not in a hurry, everyone is happy to move forward slowly, and in the evening, they came to a pier in the south.
The ruins of the monastery are in the southeast, and the river is very well developed, so if you go by land, you need to cross a swampy land, which is very troublesome, but there is another way to get there, and that is by boat.
Going down the river, bypassing a few more ports, you can avoid this swamp, and they don't care, but considering that it is inconvenient for Master Kong Nian to trek through mountains and rivers, they decided to take a boat here.
In this direction, An Xu rarely comes, and it is the first time to travel by boat, but it is quite a novelty, when An Xu and they arrived at the dock, they happened to meet a merchant ship along the way, and after paying a few gold coins, they successfully boarded the merchant ship and began to sail slowly downstream.
