45Crowded with beggars in a ruined temple
Without hesitation, Xiao Zixuan took out the remaining copper plates in his arms, and shouted through the window: "The rice has been bought, and there is still some money left." I left it at the door. ”
Xie Yuluo turned her head sideways, reached in through the window with one hand, and placed six copper plates on the edge of the window.
The copper plate fell on the table, jingling, and it sounded very good.
Then the hand retracted, and after a while there was a sound of the door closing outside, and it should have gone out again.
Xie Yuluo shook her head and smiled bitterly: This Xiao Zixuan, it's really hard to buy! Looking at Xiao Zimeng beside him with big eyes and arching in his arms, Xie Yuluo sighed, two years older is two years older, it's not easy to coax.
I don't know that I haven't gone home yet, I am two years older than myself, and I am a Xiao Yu who reads poetry and books, I don't know what it will be like to be coaxed!
Xie Yuluo felt that the road ahead was bumpy, and it was really far away!
And at this moment, Xiao Yu was studying hard in a broken temple that could only shelter from the wind and rain, he took a dry bun in one hand that he didn't know how many days he had put it, and from time to time he put it in his mouth and took a bite, and when it was difficult to swallow, he picked up a bowl with a missing mouth on one side and drank the water inside.
The water was cold, accompanied by the cold dry buns, and the choked Xiao Yu kept coughing.
But even though he coughed, he never put down the book in his hand, and his eyes never left the book for a second.
The exam is coming soon, and he has to read more books, study more when he reads more, and write more for the exam.
There was a begging beggar outside, coming back, holding the meat and steamed buns obtained from begging in his hands, and when he saw Xiao Yu hiding in the corner of the ruined temple reading a book, some people wondered: "Is this a beggar or a scholar?" Look at this appearance, how can you eat worse than us, if you are a beggar, then your luggage is full of books. ”
The beggar next to him shook his head: "Who knows!" ”
Now they can't take care of themselves, who will care about others.
They ate what they had begged for, and then they ate it by dividing it by two. After a little more break in the temple, they went out to beg one by one. When I came back after dark, the scholar in the ruined temple was gone.
And at this moment, Xiao Yu, carrying a bag of books and two changes of clothes, left the broken temple and entered the county seat, he came early, there were four or five days before the exam, but the guest house was too expensive, so he found a broken temple and dealt with it for a few days.
The exam is going to start tomorrow, and he has to find a place to clean himself up so that he can go to the exam.
Knocking on one inn after another, either it was full, or the price was too expensive, he couldn't afford to live, and finally, he finally found a remote inn, and asked for twenty copper plates for a night, Xiao Yu still didn't answer down.
This is already the cheapest one among so many families he has found, Xiao Yu still asked: "Do you have any cheaper ones here?" ”
The shopkeeper saw that although this man was neatly dressed up and down, he was also handsome, but the clothes on his body were patched and patched, and at a glance he knew that he was a child from a poor family.
Now the good inn near the examination room has long been occupied by the candidates who came first, his location is too remote, no one comes, fortunately, it also takes advantage of the two words, which attracts some candidates who have no money.
Twenty copper plates were already considered the cheapest, but the man still asked if there was any cheaper.
Obediently, how poor this student's family is. I can't even sleep in a room with twenty copper plates in one night.
The shopkeeper really didn't know how poor Xiao Yu was, if he knew that the young man in front of him had arrived in the county seat four or five days ago, in order to save money for these guest rooms, he followed a group of ragged beggars to squeeze the broken temple for four or five days, I was afraid that he would be shocked.
The shopkeeper didn't see the money, knowing that these poor students studied hard, so he said: "I also have a firewood room here, put firewood, but there is also a bed in it, if you don't mind, you can sleep in it, and I will accept you five copper plates for one night." ”
Five copper plates in one night, that night can save fifteen copper plates, Xiao Yu was grateful, and hurriedly bent down to thank him: "Thank you shopkeeper, thank you!" ”
Xiao Yu settled down in the firewood room of the inn, which was full of firewood and a hard bed, which was very shabby, but Xiao Yu felt that it was good. After all, I was finally able to get a good night's sleep tonight, and it didn't cost much.
Later, he asked the kitchen for some hot water, and the shopkeeper didn't ask for money, but Xiao Yu still gave a few copper plates, and the shopkeeper knew that this was the dignity of a scholar, so he took it, and Xiao Yu cleaned up and down his body.
I had to go to the exam on the morning of the second day, and the exam room was far away, so I had to get up early on the second day.
After Xiao Yu cleaned up, he lay down.
But lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, in my mind, in addition to the articles in my head, that is, my younger brothers and sisters, I don't know if they are doing well now, whether they are full of food, whether they sleep warmly, whether that vicious woman will beat or scold her younger siblings.
When he was there, she was always based on her temperament, scolding when she wanted to, beating when she wanted to, and he was not there at the moment......
Xiao Yu tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a while.
Thinking about many things in my heart, I fell asleep, and my young eyebrows and eyes were still tightly wrinkled.
There are thousands of knots in the heart, and they can't be untied.
And Xie Yuluo slept beautifully for a night.
The next morning, she got up early, and as usual, she was together, and Xiao Zimeng next to her woke up rubbing her eyes.
Then he was looking for clothes to get up, Xie Yuluo dressed herself, braided her hair, and went to tie Xiao Zimeng's hair. Xiao Zimeng's hair is thin and soft, the hair is not long enough, as usual, there are two bun heads on the top of the head, and today he has changed to a goose-yellow ribbon, tied the bun head, and then hung down two long streamers, if you look carefully, you can also see the yellow ribbon under the head, and even embroidered with two beads.
It was embroidered by Xie Yuluo.
After she rummaged through the cabinets, she found that Xie Yuluo still had a lot of gadgets, what kind of headbands, beads and buttons, but there was a small box, which should be Xie Yuluo's private secrets.
She just right, took out everything that could be used, and then exerted her skills, cut a lot of hairbands out, what red, yellow, purple, there are embroidered small flowers on the top, there are beads sewn, anyway, there are several things, the beautiful Xiao Zimeng hugged Xie Yuluo and kissed it.
This kid likes Xie Yuluo more and more.
After the two of them got dressed, they went to the kitchen to wash up.
Xie Yuluo took some salt, wiped her teeth, and then washed it with water, Xiao Zimeng learned from Xie Yuluo's appearance, and also wiped it, after rinsing her mouth with salt, it was really much cleaner than just rinsing her mouth with water.
Xie Yuluo muttered: "There are only two mouthfuls of teeth in a lifetime, you haven't changed your teeth yet, but you can't be negligent, your teeth are good, your teeth are good, you have good teeth, and when you get old, you can eat whatever you want." ”
Moreover, with a good mouthful of teeth, it is beautiful to smile!
Xie Yuluo paid great attention to her teeth in her previous life, but fortunately, the original owner's teeth were white and full, and under the spotlight, the kind that could glow white with a grin could go to shoot toothpaste advertisements.
Good looks and good teeth, Xie Yuluomei's heart is bubbling.
