Entering the second floor, there is a row of tables and seats next to the windows facing the street, and each chair is separated by a screen, like a simple private room. Chen Xiaoliu walked to the corner and sat down by the window, and told the shopkeeper to look out the window alone in a daze after the food was served. The streets are bustling with people coming and going. No whistles, no traffic jams. Most of the women covered their faces, and a few beggars basked in the sun on the steps behind the street stalls. A dirty little boy of seven or eight years old snuggled up in the arms of an old beggar. The old beggar looked earnestly for lice in the little boy's dirty hair, it must be a father and son, and when he found one, he clamped it with the thumbs of both hands, although the clothes were tattered, but both father and son seemed to enjoy the sunny morning. The old man who sells sugar gourds has a good business, and there are several children around him. Everything was quiet and beautiful, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves broke the harmonious picture. The old man who sold sugar gourds was nearly seventy years old, and he had no time to dodge, so he fell in a panic, and the man on the horse seemed to have no intention of stopping. The people around were panicked, and the parents next to them hurriedly grabbed their children. The old beggar also hugged the little beggar in his arms. The straw stick full of sugar gourds fell and startled the speeding horse, and the man on the horse shouted, waved the reel in his hand and slapped it on the old man's body, and in an instant the old man's face was swollen. Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoliu, who was watching by the window, couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the teapot and smashed it at the horserider's head. After throwing it, he immediately hid under the table. The man on the horse was hit and fell to the ground, and the frightened horse ran straight ahead. The man on the horse fell to the ground and fainted covered in blood. This scene was seen by a person on the street corner.

Chen Xiaoliu knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly ran downstairs without taking care of eating, and pretended to be full of Xiao Er, who was serving food. Chen Xiaoliu said that he would not eat, and ran out in a hurry, and Xiao Er's anxious shouts came from behind. didn't care so much, Chen Xiaoliu came to the person who was hit, and saw that the person who fell to the ground had blood on his head, and there were more and more onlookers around.

"If you are still alive, don't be afraid, hurry up and leave first. The voice of the little golden dragon sounded in his ears. Cold sweat had already broken out on Chen Xiaoliu's head, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up straight, and his hands trembled slightly. Run, where to run. The old man who fell to the ground saw Chen Xiaoliu's panicked appearance and also understood. The teapot was thrown by Dust Xiaoliu.

"Little master, you run. The old man stood up and said to Chen Xiaoliu with tears in his eyes.

"Is this someone from the eldest grandson's mansion?"

"Yes, I look like that. ”

"Hurry up and report to the official, someone died. There was a lot of noise around, and at this time, a small black hand stretched out from the crowd and grabbed Chen Xiaoliu. In the panic, Xiaoliu didn't have time to think, so he ran away with the little beggar.

In the ruined temple in the north of the city, the little beggar in ragged clothes looked at the trembling dust Xiaoliu. I don't know where to bring a bowl of water.

"Sister, drink some water. ”

"Thank you. "I looked closely, and found that it was the little beggar who was lying in the old beggar's arms in the morning.

"Where is this? ”

"This is a ruined temple in the north of the city, basically no one comes, don't worry, sister. "Seven or eight years old, I talk like an adult.

"Sister, I saw you throw the kettle today, and you threw it so accurately. ”

"I, I didn't mean to, I just can't stand it. ”

"I know, my dad said my sister was a good person. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. ”

"Is that man dead? Why are you saving me?"

"I don't know, my mother was beaten to death by the people of the eldest grandson's family. If someone had saved her, she wouldn't have died. The little beggar seemed to think of something, and the tears swirled in his eyes, but he held them back fiercely. Turning his head and saying.

"Sister, you are a good person. Chen Xiaoliu touched the little beggar's messy hair and hugged the dirty little boy in his arms. The little beggar couldn't hold back his tears anymore. After a while, the little beggar raised his head and said, "Sister, it is the people of the Changsun family who are injured, and my mother was grabbed by them in the Changsun Mansion, and when she came out again, she was already dead."

"Then if you save me, will they find you? By the way, what about your father?"

"My dad went to the government. The little beggar's eyes dimmed a little. Chen Xiaoliu looked at the depressed little beggar and seemed to understand that his father must have taken the blame for himself. But they don't know each other. There are some people who are ragged and have the purest hearts in the world.

"Let's go, you take me to the official mansion, and I'll change your father. ”

"No, sister, Daddy said to protect my sister. ”

"But do you know that your father will be in danger, and isn't it worth it for someone you don't know?"

"Daddy said that he wanted to avenge his mother, this is an opportunity. It has nothing to do with my sister. My father and I went to Changsun Mansion many times and were beaten out, we couldn't enter Changsun Mansion, and now we may be able to get close to the people in Changsun Mansion. ”

Looking at the stubborn little boy in front of him, Chen Xiaoliu didn't know how to refute, and a deep sense of powerlessness filled his body. This era is terrible, on the surface it seems to be calm and quiet, but below it is turbulent. It is distressing that a child of seven or eight years old has matured. I can't imagine how many secrets hidden by the people at the bottom of this prosperous and prosperous world that are not known to future generations.

"By the way, what's your name?" Chen Xiaoliu only remembered to ask the little beggar's name now.

"My name is Xiaobao. ”

"How old are you?"

"I'm eight years old. Although Xiaobao's face is dirty, his eyes are double eyelids and big eyes, and his eyes look watery. Although he didn't smile, two dimples loomed when he spoke. I think he will be a handsome guy in the future.

"Can you tell me about your mother?"

The eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of the emperor of the dynasty, that is, the emperor's relatives. One person ascended to heaven with a chicken and dog, and even the butler beside him was also powerful. The housekeeper fell in love with Xiaobao's mother when he was buying, and forcibly broke up their family. After taking away Xiaobao's mother, he set fire to Xiaobao's home. Later, the father and son ended up on the streets. A month later, Xiao Bao Niang was carried out of the Changsun Mansion horizontally. The father and son had no way to complain, and the housekeeper was angry with the government, and no one paid attention to the poor father and son. The man who saw him fall from his horse today was a servant of the eldest grandson's family. Xiaobao's father took this opportunity to get close to the eldest grandson's mansion and planned to take revenge.

"Daddy said that if he can't come back, I will avenge him and my mother when I grow up. "Unexpectedly, my unintentional actions allowed others to bear the sin for me, a cycle of cause and effect.

"What are you going to do in the future? Wait here for your father to come back?"

"Sister, let's go. I'm going to wait for Daddy to come back, and if they find out, they'll definitely take you. Hurry up and run away. "If a child is so kind, how can these people bully others!

"Would you like to follow your sister?"

"Sister, I'm waiting for my dad to come back, I'm afraid my dad won't find me when he comes back. ”

Chen Xiaoliu took out the money bag, put it in Xiaobao's hand and said, "The money here is enough for you to live for a while, and after a while, you will still be here, and my sister will come to you." ”

"Sister, no, I can't ask for it, sister, you also need to be entangled on the road. ”

"My sister is an adult, and I can figure it out by myself. You have to take care of yourself in your father's absence. If your daddy comes back, you're leaving, you draw a circle on the pillar. If your father doesn't come back next time my sister comes, then we'll go find your father together, okay? ”

"Okay," Xiaobao nodded. Chen Xiaoliu found a bucket in the ruined temple, fetched some water, and washed Xiaobao's hair and face. Xiaobao has fair skin, long eyelashes, and a pair of big bright eyes, but there is a little less innocence in the eyes, with a little maturity. Xiaobao went out to buy some steamed buns and a roast chicken, and when they came back, the two chatted for a long time after eating. Until it was dark, after Xiaobao fell asleep, he looked at the sleeping Xiaobao. Only then did Chen Xiaoliu remember to go back and put Xiaobao on the haystack. Walking out of the broken temple and looking at the stars in the sky, Chen Xiaoliu remembered her mother, who was also far away in another time and space, and didn't know how she was doing in her absence.

"Little Golden Dragon, let's go back. "The little golden dragon ran out of soul power after retrieving the Purifying Pill, and now he can only hover over his wrist. He seems to be very sleepy, and I don't see him talk much this day. I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for Xiao Jinlong's response. Chen Xiaoliu put his hand on the bracelet and touched the little golden dragon hovering above, and the little golden dragon woke up with a murmur.

"It's getting dark, where are we?"

"I don't know, it's time for us to go back. Grow big and take me back. ”

"Master, I haven't recovered from my injuries yet, so I can't take you back. But Xiaoqing should be able to. ”

Xiaoqing, in the void space, wrapped around the chair in the living room again and again, it has been bored for a day without Ahri's mouth. After Xiaoqing came out, he listened to the little golden dragon's instructions, and revealed that the body of the beast was three or four meters long. It turns out that Xiaoqing is a giant python, and the snake is the most terrifying. Chen Xiaoliu climbed onto Xiaoqing's back, it was not the same as he imagined, Xiaoqing's snake body was warm. The dark green and the little golden dragon must be the back of the little green is silky. The moon hung high in the sky, and Xiaoqing took Chen Xiaoliu back to the palace by moonlight.
