Chapter 120: The Little Beggar
The two of them wandered leisurely in the temple around the mountain, and there was a faint smell of incense floating in the air.
chatting and gossiping, I unconsciously walked to a sparsely populated courtyard.
From the outside, the arbors in the courtyard are towering, and a few birdsongs occasionally disperse, which is even more deep and cold.
It seems to be uninhabited, but there are two young monks guarding the door.
When the little monk saw the two female donors coming, he stepped forward and folded his hands and said, "Two female donors, this place is not open to the public, please forgive me." ”
"Thanks for the reminder."
When he turned to leave, Xu Chaodui glanced back, only curious.
This courtyard is inconspicuous, and even very sparse, but looking at the appearance of the two little monks, I attach great importance to this place.
Vanilla muttered on the side: "Could it be that there are some terrible people living here?" ”
"You go in and have a look?"
Vanilla heard that she was serious, and looked at her with some embarrassment: "Princess, the holy land of Buddhism must not be made, and if the maid breaks in, it will be forked out......"
Xu Chaowan chuckled: "Teasing you, you are still serious." ”
The two went out of the Xunyin Temple and walked back to the intersection according to the original road, Huaiyi saw the two from a distance and drove the car over.
The sound of wheels running over dead branches on the ground sounded, and it passed through the woods and returned to Chaoyang City.
In the carriage, Xu Chaodui stroked the red rope on Hao's wrist, leaned on the window edge and supported it with one hand, and couldn't help thinking: My husband has been away for five days, I don't know where he is now? Did you exterminate the Thousand Autumn Pavilion? What should I do if I get hurt? Have you eaten yet? Or is it doing something else?
I miss him so much. Last time, I was angry with him because he was too domineering, but now I think about it, I really shouldn't.
He would wake up at night and fold the quilt for her, tell her stories when she had insomnia, and give her ...... Dress......
Thinking of this, I blushed slightly.
"What people!"
As Huaiyi's voice sounded, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Coming back to her senses, she asked.
"Princess, there is a fight. Three young men are bullying and beating a little beggar. The princess waited, and her subordinates went to take a look. ”
After Huaiyi flew away, Xu Chaodui opened the curtain and looked, and there were really three young men beating a child not far away.
The boy curled up, holding his head in his hands and letting the three men punch and kick him.
The thin and chicken-like figure made Xu Chaodui slightly stunned.
She had the impression that it seemed to be the little beggar who robbed her of her jade pendant last time.
"Vanilla, go take a look."
The two got out of the car in turn and quickly walked to where Huaiyi was.
The little beggar thought that he was saved by Huaiyi, and the three men clenched their fists as if they were still angry. But under the awe-inspiring gaze of Huaiyi and righteousness, he did not dare to make a mistake.
Xu Chaowan squatted down under the gaze of several people, stretched out his hand and gently pulled away the little beggar's hand holding his head, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The little beggar obviously remembered her, although the tears rolled in her eyes in pain, she stubbornly held back her tears, opened her lips and shouted: "Sister......"
The little beggar was bruised and purple, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, looking so pitiful.
Xu Chaowan couldn't help frowning, turned his head and asked the three of them coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
One of the brightly dressed men glanced at the nosy beautiful woman, his eyes were frivolous, but he didn't say anything frivolous because Huaiyi was on the side.
"This girl, can you figure out the situation and then meddle in it? This little beggar stole his son's money, and he can't teach him a lesson? ”
Stealing money?
Xu Chaodui glanced back at the little beggar, and the little beggar said timidly: "Money...... The money was taken back by them. ”
Xu Chaodui was displeased, and asked coldly: "Then why are you still beating him?" ”
The man replied impatiently: "This little beggar is bad and difficult to change, if you don't teach him a lesson, he will steal someone else's next time." There are despicable things that are not taught by mothers, and my father-in-law ......"
"Shut up!" She was a little angry.
"It's not right for him to steal money, it's his fault. You beat him and scolded him, why do you blame his father? Seeing that you are also from a rich family, it is rude to scold your son and mother, and you don't even know this etiquette? ”
The man was already unhappy with the nosy woman who suddenly appeared. Seeing that she was not as old as herself, but she confidently accused herself, and her heart was even more angry.
"You help him like this, could it be that he is a relative of your family? Since you want to be this good person, then you take this kid home and give him a way out? Will you or not? ”
"What does it have to do with you?"
The man shook the bulging money bag in his hand and snorted coldly, "The little ladies don't stay at home and embroider and run out to meddle in their affairs, they really have nothing to look for...... Ouch ......"
Before the man finished speaking, Huaiyi picked up a small pebble and smashed the medicine severely.
When the man covered his lower body and exhaled in pain, Vanilla crossed his hands on his waist and said, "Bold!" You don't want to die talking to Princess Lin like this! Be careful that our prince will fork you out of Chaoyang City with one shot! ”
The man wanted to scold, but when he heard that the woman was Princess Lin, he immediately held his breath.
His father just took over an idle position in the Ministry of Rites, and if he got into such a big trouble and went back, he wouldn't be slaughtered!
I can't afford to provoke it.
The servant beside the man saw that his son-in-law was in unspeakable pain, and even hurt somewhere with him, so he hurriedly put oil under his feet and ran away.
"Do you have any money to buy food for your sister?" Xu Chaodui pulled him up, stared at him and asked. But there is no blame in his eyes.
"It's not." The little beggar grinned in pain, the corners of his eyes were red, and his nose was sour, "I don't have money to buy new clothes for my sister, my sister is sick from a cold, her body is very hot, and she hasn't eaten for a day." The money I begged for was only enough to buy steamed buns, not enough for my sister...... Grab medicine for my sister...... I'm afraid that my sister will leave me like my father, so I can only steal it......" At the end, I couldn't help but cry.
"Don't cry. Where's your sister, take me to see it. ”
Because Xu Chaodui gave him a lot of money for the first time, the little beggar had a very good impression of her, and nodded frequently as if grasping a life-saving straw.
"Sister save my sister, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for my sister for the rest of my life."
Xu Chaowan stood up and pulled him back: "Let's not talk about this first, it's important to go see your sister." ”
In this way, the car that was supposed to return to Chaoyang City turned around and drove towards the beggar's nest on the edge of the city.
The little beggar had never sat in such a luxurious carriage, and he was afraid that he would stain the seat, so he simply sat on the ground, and no matter how Xu Chaodui persuaded him, he didn't dare to get up.
Follow the path pointed out by the little beggar, and soon reach the beggar's den.
A beggar's nest, as the name suggests, is a place where a bunch of beggars live.
Their so-called home is a thatched hut that has been dilapidated.
But they don't care about that, as long as they can have a shelter from the wind and rain, they are already very content.
The road leading to the beggar's den was narrow, dirty and messy, and the carriage could not get in, so it was worth stopping outside.
It's noon, and beggars of all sizes have gone to the city to beg for food, so there aren't many people here at the moment.
Huaiyi stayed to watch the car, and Xu Chaodui and Vanilla followed the little beggar to a dilapidated thatched house.
The window portal is broken. The little beggar stepped forward, and with great difficulty removed the planks used as a windshield, as if he was afraid that they would be disgusted, he quickly found a broom made of thatch and swept the muddy floor, and said embarrassedly, "Sister, please come in." ”
Xu Chaodui didn't have any reaction in his heart, and walked into the house very naturally.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a little girl about five or six years old lying on a thick straw bed.
The little girl's eyes were closed, but her complexion was not good.
The little one was only covered with a layer of torn cotton wool, and there was an unbitten white steamed bun and a bowl of water beside him.
