Chapter Twenty-Five: Receiving the Grass
Qiu Jue frowned, this Mei Niang is really persistent and terrible.
However, she left the bracelet behind and walked straight to where Moshi lived.
Before she reached the door, a figure suddenly flashed next to her, startling her.
The person who came was a girl, and she knelt on the ground and knocked down when she stopped her way.
Qiu Jue was confused.
The little girl was wearing ill-fitting clothes and wounds on her face, so she kowtowed three times quickly.
Qiu Jue didn't have time to stop it.
"I said, little girl, get up quickly, you recognize the wrong person, right?"
Qiu Jue hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
However, a pure and warm aura instantly enveloped her.
"The benefactor is above, please forgive Xiaocao for three bows."
Well, benefactor?
Qiu Jue felt that the luck was a little strange recently, and someone always mistook her.
Does she really have a public face?
Qiu Jue subconsciously touched her face, and immediately helped the little girl up after reacting.
"Little girl, you recognize the wrong person, look at me, I'm not a local, and I don't know you at all, how could I save you? You must have mistaken someone. ”
Qiu Jue was very sure, helped her up and patted the soil on her knees.
The little girl was very thin, and her arms and legs were frighteningly thin, which was caused by chronic malnutrition.
Qiu Jue has no good impression of this Guanghan Palace more and more, and he doesn't even let go of such a young child, it's really ......
She had never been exposed to this kind of industry in her previous life, but she had heard of it, but she was still shocked to see such a young girl appear in this place again.
The little girl's face was sallow, only a pair of eyes were really big, and she stood up and grabbed Qiu Jue's sleeve.
"Xiaocao didn't recognize the wrong person, it was you, they said that you saved me."
"Who are they?" Qiu Jue was a little inexplicable, and was just about to ask something, when he heard footsteps coming from the side,
"Little cheap hoof, I know that you are restless, dare to disturb the nobles, see that I don't pick your skin."
The person who came was an extremely charming woman, and Qiu Jue had never seen it here.
When Xiaocao saw this person, he was so frightened that he hid back, Qiu Jue protected him behind him and looked directly at the person who came, "Who are you?" Why chase her? ”
When Li Niang saw that it was her, the whole person trembled slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to laugh with her, "Li Niang has seen the girl, this girl is a newcomer from the palace, she is still being trained, she doesn't understand the rules, and I hope the girl will forgive me if she collides with the girl." ”
As he spoke, he reached out to pull the grass.
Xiaocao was very scared, and pulled Qiu Jue's sleeve tightly, not letting go of it alive or dead, while staring at her with big eyes.
"She didn't rush me, I was looking for this little girl to have something, can Liniang be accommodating and let her stay with me for a while."
Li Niang knew Qiu Jue's identity for a long time, so she naturally didn't dare to refuse.
In order to prevent more accidents, Qiu Jue brought Xiaocao to Moshi's room.
Moshi had already woken up, and was a little surprised to see Qiu Jue walking in with a little girl.
"Who is she?"
Qiu Jue looked like Xiaocao, "I only know her name is Xiaocao, and she will say the rest herself." ”
Since this little girl is from Guanghan Palace, she is not worried that she is coming for them.
The little girl looked to be eight or nine years old, and according to her, a few days ago there was a big flood in the house, and her father and mother took her and her younger siblings north to join relatives.
As a result, my father was seriously ill, and my mother had no support here, so I didn't know what to do. said that the Yang family wanted to find a child daughter-in-law for their son, so they asked Xiaocao to try.
Xiaocao also knew that if she didn't want to, their family wouldn't be able to survive, and her younger brothers and sisters were still so young, so she took the initiative to agree.
After changing the money, he asked his mother to treat his father, and took his younger siblings to find relatives first.
She knew she would be alone here from now on.
She is very diligent in the Yang family, and she rushes to do all the work, hoping that they will be kind to herself.
But I didn't expect that in just half a month, the son of the Yang family died, and she was overjoyed, and was used as a broom star and sold to Guanghan Palace.
A few days ago, it was her first time to pick up a customer, and she naturally wouldn't let the other party get her wish, so she bit one of the man's ears and scratched his eye to be beaten like that.
Qiu Jue thought it was Moshi at the time, and Mei Niang ordered the man to stop to save Xiaocao's life.
"It was your benefactor who gave me a piece of clothing and asked me to heal my wounds, so that I could live."
Qiu Jue didn't expect that it was just a mistake, and he actually saved a life.
"I see, so what's next for you?"
Qiu Jue asked her, looking at Fang Cai Liniang's posture, I am afraid that this girl will cause trouble again.
Xiaocao plopped and knelt down again, kowtowing heavily, "Please save me, leave this place, Xiaocao's life will be the benefactor in the future." ”
Qiu Jue chuckled, "You little girl, how do you know that I am a good person and will not sell you to another place?" ”
Naturally, she was teasing her.
But Xiaocao showed a sad face, "I, the benefactor saved my life, I naturally want to repay, my mother said that you must be grateful to be a man." ”
Qiu Jue didn't know what to say for a while.
But they are not suitable for taking anyone with them, especially a stranger.
"We have important things to go south, your parents have gone to the north, why don't I ransom you with silver and let someone send you to the north to find your father and mother, okay?"
There are thousands of injustices in this world, everyone has their own difficulties, Qiu Jue asked himself if he couldn't care about thousands of people in the world, but he couldn't see death without help.
Xiaocao knelt there and moved forward twice, "Just ask the benefactor to accept me, Xiaocao will repay the grace of saving his life no matter what." ”
Qiu Jue was about to refuse, but he heard Moshi, who had never been born, suddenly speak.
"Leave her alone!"
Qiu Jue was stunned for a moment, and Moshi whispered: "She is from Huai'an." ”
On the road again, they became foursome.
Xiaocao was very lively, chattering non-stop along the way, making Moshi frown.
told Qiu Jue several times that he regretted it, so why don't you throw this girl off the boat.
However, Qiu Jue felt very happy, Xiaocao was indeed very attentive, except for serving them tea and water, cleaning, and always shouting to Moshi's side at other times.
Ever since Bai Yu left the Guanghan Palace, his gaze at Qiu Jue was a little strange.
Qiu Jue didn't explain much about being able to leave Guanghan Palace smoothly, Mei Niang's attitude towards her was obvious to everyone, and the boat they are packing now is still found by Mei Niang.
Fortunately, Bai Yu knew his identity and didn't ask more.
The journey was very smooth, but in ten days they had already entered Huai'an.
"Reliable shore early tomorrow morning."
Bai Yu knocked on the door, and after getting a response, he walked in and said such a sentence.
Qiu Jue was surprised, "Haven't you already arrived in Huai'an?" ”
According to the news that Bai Yu learned, it turned out that this Huai'an wharf could be docked during the day, and no ships were allowed to approach at night, otherwise they would be driven away.
So they need to drift on the river overnight.
This trip is a micro-service visit, so naturally the local officials in Huai'an cannot be alarmed, and they can only accept this unreasonable rule.
"What are your plans when you enter the city?" They have already arrived at the place, and naturally they have to make a move.
Qiu Jue smiled slightly and said, "You can enter the city first to find General Li and Taifu, and we will meet at the city gate at noon tomorrow." ”
Bai Yu answered, "You mean to let me go now?" ”
"Yes, the world is urgent, and we need to know the real disaster as soon as possible."
"However, the safety of you and the emperor ......"
Without waiting for Bai Yu to finish speaking, Qiu Jue interrupted him, "Don't worry, it's just that we stay here for one night, and the ships around are not just us, so it's going to be fine, besides, does this palace look like an unlucky ghost?" ”
White Feather left.
Guanghan Palace, for a long time, is a famous place of wind and moon in Licheng, but they only exist at night in the form of a painting boat.
However, at the fifth watch, the painting boat will return to its original place and see the guests off.
No one knows where they are?
This is the biggest mystery in Licheng.
But tonight is an exception, Li Niang went out of the painting boat, returned to her green bamboo courtyard, just closed the door, ready to untie her clothes.
As soon as he yawned a little, he looked up and saw a man in black appear in front of him out of thin air.
"You ......"
The man's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, his whole body was black, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
"Your name is Li Niang?"
"Yes, it's me, who are you, come ......"
Before the person shouted the sentence, Liniang fainted.
She woke up again, in a ruined temple.
Her whole body was tied to a stone pillar, and she couldn't shout out with something stuffed in her mouth.
Li Niang was so scared, she didn't know who the other party was, so she was brought here directly.
At this moment, a man walked in outside, also dressed in black in broad daylight, which was very terrifying.
The man glanced at her lightly, sitting alone in the grass pile on the side, eating, looking out from time to time What was he waiting for?
Liniang kept whimpering, wanting to ask him who he was, and wanted to know what he brought her here for, but she couldn't say a word.
I don't know what will happen to me next.
This fear and panic made her sweat profusely, and just as she was desperate, there was movement outside.
Four men in black walked in at the entrance of the temple, and each of them carried a person in their hands.
Then he floated lightly like throwing a little chicken, and the four people in his hands fell directly to Liniang's feet.
When she saw the faces of the four people clearly, her whole body began to tremble.
The fifth, the little strong and the little clean them.
A flash of light flashed in her mind, and she finally knew who these people were coming for.
The man in black who took the lead smiled contemptuously, then walked over and removed the contents from Liniang's mouth.
"Look at you like this, you know who you have offended."
"That's the kid." Li Niang said in horror, her lips trembling.
"Presumptuous!" The man snorted coldly and slapped Li Niang's face, half of her face swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and three teeth were knocked off, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Do you know who he is?"
Li Niang didn't want to know who it was now, she just regretted it, why did she take that child?
obviously saw his dignity, but he was moved by a few words from the fifth child.
"Big brother, let's do it! This is the first time the little master has used us. ”
