Chapter 398: The Beggar in the Broken Temple
Seeing Fang Hanniang coming, Ruan Chuxiao turned over and dismounted.
When he heard that Qiu Zhu had borrowed a team of men from him on Fang Hanniang's orders, he had a vague feeling that his cousin didn't seem to want him to pass.
However, Ruan Chuxiao felt that at the moment, the daughter of the Ruan family was in such a stormy situation, and as a cousin, he had the responsibility to protect his two cousins.
Ruan Chuxiao felt that her reasons were very sufficient.
So, he turned the ten-person team that Fang Hanniang originally borrowed into twenty people, and he followed him.
Ruan Chuxiao really wanted to see what kind of medicine her cousin was selling in the gourd.
"Third cousin." Fang Hanniang saluted in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”
Ruan Chuxiao saw Fang Hanniang's cautious appearance like a thief, and only felt a little funny in her heart: "What, I can't come over?" ”
Fang Hanniang was a little speechless and said, "Didn't I let Qiu Zhu talk to you?" Let the sergeants all change into ordinary military uniforms, and don't wear the slightest accessories that can reveal the identity of our Ruan family...... I thought that the third cousin would understand, I didn't want to reveal the identity of our Ruan family. ”
Fang Hanniang said very clearly.
Ruan Chuxiao was silent.
This is considered a ...... Disliked?
Fang Hanniang continued to whisper: "The third cousin looks like such a talent, I don't know how many people in the whole capital know the third cousin, you are like this, you beat gongs and drums with us and call us the Ruan family, what is the difference?" ”
Although Ruan Chuxiao was a little praised in these words, Ruan Chuxiao was still a little unhappy in her heart.
However, Ruan Chuxiao saw that Fang Hanniang and him were talking very quietly, for fear that others would listen to it, and her heart suddenly softened again, and she didn't know where to go.
He smiled slightly: "It's me who is abrupt." I said, "It's okay to pass by." ”
Fang Hanniang couldn't help but laugh too, and whispered: "The third cousin won't deceive people at all. Forget it, I'll tell you the lie, you just pass by and go home. Spend more time with your grandmother, she actually thinks about you very much. ”
Ruan Chuxiao couldn't help but smile a little deeper.
He glanced at Fang Hanniang, didn't say anything, turned over on the horse again, turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and left.
Fang Zhiniang has been standing in place and waiting for Fang Hanniang.
She just saw Fang Hanniang cautiously past, and she didn't hold her, so she knew that the eldest sister had something to say to her third cousin alone. Fang Zhiniang was extremely sensible and did not go over.
When she saw Fang Hanniang coming back, she couldn't help but whisper, "Eldest sister...... What's going on here? ”
Fang Zhiniang delicately omitted the words "third cousin".
Before Fang Hanniang could answer, Yun Zixiang, who had been staring at those sergeants at the counter on the side, for fear that they would be unfavorable to Fang Hanniang, couldn't help but ask: "Who is that military master?" …… It looks a little familiar, girl, do you know that military master? ”
Fang Hanniang was glad to meet someone who didn't know Ruan Chuxiao. She was very calm and nonsense: "Oh, that's a military master I can't name, but he owed me a favor in the past, and I coerced him to repay me and ask him to assign me a few sergeants to protect me." ”
The Ruan family sergeants lined up on the side of the road tried to hold their faces.
Fang Zhiniang was young after all, so she couldn't help but smile and bend the corners of her mouth.
Yun Zixiang touched his head a little uncertainly, and muttered, "Coercion and retribution? …… I don't think the girl is that kind of person......"
Fang Hanniang said seriously: "I am doing a good deed, and that military master is naturally willing to help me with this." Besides, I'm going to pay these military men and don't let them work in vain. ”
Ruan Jiajun, who will not work in vain, tried his best to hold his face.
Their cousin is really good at......
"Oh......" Boss Yun, a simple reader, was fooled by Fang Hanniang in a few words.
Fang Hanniang didn't want to waste any more time, she simply erased the matter neatly, and asked the coachman to catch up with the carriage and follow them.
Before getting into the car, Yun Zixiang hesitated a little and said, "Girl, can I go with me to have a look?" ”
Fang Hanniang glanced at Yun Zixiang deeply.
Yun Zixiang lowered his head a little embarrassed, his face a little tight.
Yes, there was still a slight suspicion in his heart.
After all, it's too expensive. After two years of setbacks in the business field, it is difficult for him to believe that a person can do this without being driven by profits.
Fang Hanniang seemed to see through what Yun Zixiang was thinking.
It is normal to have such suspicions.
Yun Zixiang can also be regarded as her partner, this partner is not the kind of silly white sweet, Fang Hanniang is actually very pleased.
The corners of Fang Hanniang's mouth curved, revealing a shallow smile: "Then, Boss Yun, get in the car." ”
…… Yun Zixiang sat in Fang Hanniang's carriage again.
This is the second time he has taken Fang Hanniang's carriage today.
The last time, his head was full of doubts, deeply doubting Fang Hanniang's motives, and he was worried and uneasy along the way, with a trace of nervousness and excitement.
This time, however, he felt a little embarrassed.
Probably because they were suspicious of each other.
The carriage was quiet, Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang were used to being quiet, but Yun Zixiang couldn't stand the atmosphere.
Especially when he has a little weak heart......
Yes, he didn't know why, because he doubted this little girl, he actually had a feeling of weakness.
Yun Zixiang was a little speechless: "...... Girl, where are we going? ”
Fang Hanniang smiled: "Let's go to the Shili Pavilion outside the city first." ”
Yun Zixiang was slightly startled.
It was a deserted place, and there were only a few ruined temples except for a pavilion to send off.
What is this little girl doing there?
However, Yun Zixiang was embarrassed to ask this question again.
He didn't know why, he always felt that it was a very weak thing to doubt the little girl in front of him......
When the carriage stopped at Shili Pavilion, Yun Zixiang lifted the curtain, but found that there were two carriages coming slowly not far ahead.
Judging from the rut marks, it seems that they have carried a lot of weight.
However, the two carriages, too, were also wrapped in a layer of oiled paper cloth and tied with hemp rope, and Yun Zixiang couldn't tell what they were.
It should be like a cotton coat, and it's something that I'm afraid of getting wet with snow......
Yun Zixiang was secretly worried in his heart.
However, when the two carriages came over and stopped not far away as if they were waiting for something, Yun Zixiang realized that the things pulled by the two carriages were also the materials under Fang Hanniang......
When Yun Zixiang realized all this, his scalp was a little numb.
The question that had haunted him all day had once again occupied his entire mind.
The two convoys merged into one convoy of four carriages.
In front and behind the convoy, there were sergeants opening the way.
The convoy, after turning a few small roads, stopped in front of a ruined temple.
Fang Hanniang didn't move, and looked at Fang Zhiniang encouragingly.
As if inspired, Fang Zhiniang tried to clench her little fist, and with a lot of courage, got off the carriage.
Yun Zixiang looked at Fang Zhiniang, and then at Fang Hanniang, very confused.
But Yun Zixiang still gritted his teeth, made a decision, and followed Fang Zhiniang out of the car.
He wanted to see what the two sisters wanted to do.
Then, he saw that the pink girl approached the broken temple generously.
Yun Zixiang felt as if he had been punched.
This ruined temple outside the city is a well-known beggar's settlement.
This year's cold winter, I don't know how many beggars have froze to death here.
In such a gloomy and terrible place, a pink and delicate little girl walked in so generously and without fear?
Yun Zixiang turned around and looked at the carriage anxiously, but saw that Fang Hanniang was lifting the curtain of the carriage, watching the things in the broken temple, and he didn't have the intention of getting off the car to stop it, he was directly anxious, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the broken temple behind Fang Zhiniang.
Sure enough, after Yun Zixiang rushed in, he found that Fang Zhiniang and a neatly dressed person like him seemed to be not in the same place as the people in the broken temple-
On the haystacks in the ruined temple, some yellow-skinned, thin, unkempt beggars were densely crowded.
I didn't feel that there was a cold wind blowing inside outside the broken temple, but now I rushed into the broken temple, and the unpleasant smell almost smoked Yun Zixiang upside down.
Fang Zhiniang was young, so naturally she couldn't stand this smell, but she tried her best not to show any unusual look on her face.
She remembered that her sister had told her that beggars were a very difficult and strange kind of person.
They can abandon their self-esteem and beg for food, but sometimes, they will do so desperately for the sake of their self-esteem.
Fang Zhiniang adjusted her mentality, trying to ignore the stench that rushed into her nose.
However, those beggars, when Fang Zhiniang and Yun Zixiang came in, were like wolves that had been hungry for three days and three nights, and they saw some fat sheep rushing into the wolf's den, and their faces showed extremely greedy expressions.
It's not like they're looking at two living people.
In the eyes of these beggars, it is clothing, silver, and ......
Food.
Fang Zhiniang is very delicate and sensitive to people's expressions, and when she saw the beggar's expressions, she almost immediately felt the unconcealable malice.
After all, it's just a ten-year-old.
Fang Zhiniang's face was a little pale.
Yun Zixiang, as an adult, was a little weak at this time. Although he knew that there were many sergeants guarding there outside, and they would not be allowed to suffer any substantial harm, he blamed Fang Hanniang a little in his heart.
Isn't she afraid that her sister will be frightened by these beggars?
What a gentle, shy and delicate little girl this is?
She is still so young, how can she see such a cruel side of this world?
…… It can only be said that Yun Zixiang doesn't know Fang Zhiniang too well.
Just when Yun Zixiang's nervous legs were a little unable to stand, and he was about to forcibly pull Fang Zhiniang out, Fang Zhiniang's thin and soft child's voice resounded in this broken temple:
"Do you want cotton clothes and food?"
