Chapter 66: In vain

There are a lot of people on the streets, and today seems to be a market day, and men, women, and children are all over the streets, so be careful otherwise it will be easy to bump into people.

Ning Haoran's eyes shuttled through the crowd, trying to see the familiar back, but found that it was in vain, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer find a figure that was very close to the original.

"Xiaomian, I want to ask you, how much do you know about Brother Shen?" After he calmed down, he couldn't help but think back to the day he met her at the inn, when he obviously thought that person looked like his cousin.

"Well, not much, he's a mysterious person, if it weren't for an accident in my family, I would know almost everything about him." Song Xiaomian said sincerely, is Ning Haoran suspicious of him?

If this is the case, Confucianism can be taught!

"I always thought he struck me as weird, and he actually resembled my cousin in some ways." Ning Haoran muttered, he wasn't sure, the two of them were somewhat similar in all aspects, that is, there were many changes in appearance, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't seen his cousin for many years, Brother Shen was a little rough, he almost decided that it was his cousin, Brother Shen was not as moist as jade like his cousin, he even had a lot more resolute temperament than his cousin.

If he is really a cousin, he clearly knows that it is him, why don't you recognize him?

There is only one possibility, he is not really a cousin, and his cousin is like a brother to him, and he will not watch him like a headless fly scurrying around looking for him, regardless of it.

Song Cuiling saw that he was indulging in thoughts, and couldn't help but interject: "Sister, is it possible that Brother Shen is Ning Gongzi's cousin." ”

"I don't know." Song Xiaomian responded lightly, even if she knew some clues, she couldn't say it, Shen Luofan should have his plans.

If he wants to return to his original family, and if he is capable of doing it now, he can go back at any time, without having to hide here in Xicheng and live a life of hunters.

"Ning Gongzi, why didn't you send someone to accompany you at home, you are alone, it is very dangerous." Song Cuiling finally said something more pleasant, she felt that he was too risky.

"I didn't ask them to follow, and my dad also wanted to train me so that I could stand alone sooner." Ning Haoran understood his father's good intentions, and he once doubted whether his father had secretly sent someone to protect him, but he never noticed it, afraid that he was suspicious.

Song Xiaomian has a lot of good feelings for this general Ning Da, who has never met him, because of Ning Haoran's respect for him, as well as what he does, he does not dote on children, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and he will never leave a relative who has disappeared for five years, which is really rare.

"Brother Ning, how many days have you been helping to carry the letter?" She invisibly remembered her father's matter, pinched her fingers, and desperately wanted to know the result.

Ning Haoran stretched out his hand and calculated: "Well, it's been five days, and it will take more than half a month to go back and forth." ”

"Alas, I didn't expect the border to be so far away from Xicheng." Song Xiaomian sighed, fortunately, she didn't run alone in a fit of anger, and she had nothing, so she didn't know how much she would have to suffer.

"Xiaomian, if you really want to find your father, after I am sure that my cousin is not in Xicheng, I can lead you to the border." Ning Haoran couldn't help but comfort her when he saw her lonely face.

"Brother Ning, I don't need you to accompany me, I just need you to help me fix the book, and when I want to leave one day, bring the letter, and don't let people think it's a spy when I get to the border." With his letter of introduction, it is more useful than anything else, presumably General Ning will recognize the handwriting of his rabbit cub.

It's okay to open up to her and leave her a place to spend the night.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Song Cuiling drilled like a fly at the seams, wanting to reconcile with Song Xiaomian.

Pouting, Song Xiaomian disagreed, her body couldn't stand it, and it must be a burden to carry her on the road.

"Cui Ling, you stay in the Zhou Mansion, don't make trouble for your sister." Ning Haoran naturally stood on Song Xiaomian's side.

Song Cuiling pouted, they all treated her as a child, and at some times she was quite happy, but in front of her favorite son, she was unwilling.

The carriage drove slowly, and it seemed that it was about to reach the Zhou Mansion, but the fork in front of it was surrounded by people, and it seemed that there was a lot of discussion.

Sigh. She stopped the horse and jumped down, and Ning Haoran also followed over to take a look, Song Cuiling was not as fast as them, so she hesitated to stay in the carriage and be safe.

"Kill her, steal at a young age."

"That's it, if you don't beat her to death, I don't know who I'll steal next time."

Song Xiaomian glanced at the girl who was kicked indiscriminately on the ground, her face was stubbornly tense, her eyes were sharp, and she was disapproving of the insults of the people around her, her hair was dirty, her face was dirty, and the clothes on her body were in tatters.

Even if others scolded ugly, she didn't refute it, the bun she was holding in her hand had been stained with mud and dust on the ground, and she was still unwilling to let go.

"Isn't she Song Lele from Songjia Village?"

Song Xiaomian was distressed, everything about her came to her mind, she had died since she was a child, and with her grandmother living, her grandmother is now blind and deaf, presumably she can't support her.

She is about thirteen years old, on par with the original owner of her body, they once had a relationship, Song Lele is even more embarrassed than her situation, she can't eat enough and dress well, and suffers from white eyes from all directions, but she is very diligent, using her own hands, she earned some change, but she will not be mixed with the appearance in front of her.

Could it be that something happened to her family?

"Xiaomian, do you know her? She is so pitiful, but should a thief be reviled by 10,000 people? Ning Haoran's sympathy overflowed, and it became extremely heavy when he looked at Song Lele.

Song Xiaomian nodded, she not only knew each other, but also wanted to become sisters with Song Lele, the two had the same situation, they had a bad background, they got up early and worked in the dark, and they were forced to become adults by life at a young age.

She pulled away from the crowd and slowly walked towards Song Lele, when Song Lele caught a glimpse of her, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that he could meet her here.

"Stop!" Song Xiaomian shouted, and a strong momentum emanated from her body, which shocked others for a while, and Ning Haoran was also stunned by her momentum.

"Who are you, nosy, go away."

"That's it, what are you doing with a girl's family, shouldn't it be a gang?"

Song Xiaomian couldn't help but secretly scolded herself for being stupid, why didn't she change into men's clothes before going out and set off?

I obviously made a plan, but I forgot it before going out, it's really a pig's head, no wonder I was stepped on.

"Yes, she is my sister Song Lele, my name is Song Xiaomian, who has an opinion? Lele, how are you? They say you stole something, and you tell your sister that you didn't steal it, right? ”

Song Xiaomian induced her step by step, as long as she said no, she could take her away with confidence.

Song Lele is a stubborn person, she shook her head, her mouth was still tight, and she was reluctant to speak.

"See, she said no, it's just a bun, compared to who kicked her just now, she has to have a good body, I'm not done with you, you, you, and you, you just kicked my sister, now take my sister to the hospital, how many of her medical expenses will be paid, don't let me go to the yamen to find Lord Song to reason!"

Song Xiaomian now mentions Song Yingjie, and inexplicably feels that he has a lot of good feelings.

The corners of Song Lele's eyes quietly slid down his eyes, and no one could understand the feeling of being able to have someone to help him in a foreign land.

"Who kicked her, I didn't ......"

The people around heard that she wanted compensation, and the uproar was all dispersed, no one was willing to lose money, it was the owner of the bun shop, who touched his nose and ran away, Song Lele's injury, the money for treating the injury is probably far more expensive than the bun, and today it will be unlucky.

Song Xiaomian bent down, helped Song Lele up, and reached out to help her cheek, Song Lele's eyes contained tears, Song Xiaomian was distressed, and pressed her to her shoulder, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you're out, where is your grandma?" ”

"Grandma died the day before yesterday." She sold all the things in the family, and then pooled the money to bury her grandmother, thinking of going to the county to find a job to make a living, who knew that after looking for a day yesterday, others didn't want her, one is that she is young, and the other is that she has no adult guarantee, afraid that her hands and feet will not be clean.

She was so hungry that she gave the only copper coin left on her body to the boss of the bun shop, wanting a bun, who knew that when she took it out, she was robbed by the beggar who ran over, she couldn't catch up with the beggar to get the copper money back, she was so hungry that she couldn't do it, she took advantage of the bun boss not paying attention, stole a bun, and was chased by the bun boss for three streets, until just now, if Song Xiaomian hadn't appeared, she might have been beaten to death.

"It's all over, come with me first." Song Xiaomian was sad, the society is unfair, how many people eat big fish and meat all day long, even the food that falls on the ground is more fruitful than the poor people's dinner table, how could they have thought that how many people can't even eat porridge.

"Xiaomian, thank you." Song Lele had no choice but to go with her.

She also heard some things about Song Xiaomian, and she admired her.

Song Xiaomian placed Song Lele on the carriage, drove the carriage and walked back quickly.

Ning Haoran stared at the little girl with a dirty face in front of her, she was very similar to Song Xiaomian, and there was a stubbornness that could not be ignored, she and Song Xiaomian looked similar in appearance, they were both weak and couldn't help it, but she was less confident than Song Xiaomian, and much more timid.

A touch of disgust flashed in Song Cuiling's eyes, my sister is really, she has no place to live, and she has to help Song Lele, Song Lele is more like a broom star than them.

According to the old people in the village, when she was born, her father quarreled with her mother, which caused her mother to bleed and died on the spot, and her father could not bear the blow, and was pointed at by the people of the village behind his back, and gradually became crazy, and when she was three years old, one day she fell into a dung pit and drowned.

She was worried that Song Lele would follow them and infect the bad luck in her body, and the two of them finally followed Brother Shen to improve their lives, but they didn't want to continue to return to those dark days.

Walking into the Zhou Mansion, Song Lele's head hung low, and he didn't have the courage to look around.

When Zhou Bo saw that she had brought back a little girl, there was a brief consternation on his face.
