After following Li Tong for so long, Chiyi thought that it would take another while before he appeared in front of Li Tong's eyes.

But I never expected this incident to come so suddenly.

Chiyi picked up the half-gnawed bun, wiped the ash on it, stuffed it into his arms, and carefully covered the tiles that had been turned up a crack before falling from the roof.

Li Tong sat in the room, put on a coat, and when he glanced at the woman in red, he couldn't help but show a little surprise.

"Light work is good, what's your name?" Li Tong praised from the bottom of his heart.

Chiyi licked his lips and lowered his head: "I've seen Madame, my subordinate is Nakyi." ”

Li Tong nodded his chin: "The name is very suitable for you, look up and let me take a look." ”

Chiyi raised her head respectfully, but she didn't dare to look at Li Tong again, she instinctively felt that the new lady in front of her was too different from the previous rumors, not to mention that she had done something to the new lady before, although it was a last resort, but there was always a little weakness.

"You robbed me of my baggage and let those beggars surround me?" Li Tong asked nonchalantly.

Chiyi sighed in his heart, it's coming, it's coming, and the disaster is not a one-way street.

"It's a subordinate job."

"I understand, and I don't intend to punish you, after all, you are also acting on orders."

Hearing Li Tong say this, Chiyi was a little relieved.

"I called you down mainly to ask you, did you hear anything last night?"

Chiyi glanced at her, thought for a moment, and then shook her head: "My subordinates didn't hear any movement. ”

"Didn't you hear that?"

Chiyi thought about it again: "I really didn't hear it. ”

Hiss!

It's a little hard to understand.

Seeing that Li Tong was very embarrassed, in the mood of sharing worries for his general's woman, Chiyi spoke very considerately: "Dare to ask Madame, did you notice something last night?" ”

Li Tong shook his head: "Your general beat someone, but he didn't want to tell me who beat him." ”

Chiyi suddenly realized, looking at the whole Qingqi, who dares to hit our general, except for the one in front of him, the general has a good face, how can he be embarrassed to admit it? However, don't you know what you do? Could it be that he hit it in his sleep?

However, these words, Chiyi only dared to say them in her heart, if the new lady knew, the general would have to punish her with a whip, or the dog's life was more important.

"Forget it, you can go back." Li Tong waved his hand.

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, when Li Tong looked up again, there was no shadow of the naked clothes in front of him, he really came and went without a trace, when could she have this kind of skill, I was so envious.

After breakfast, Li Tong went out with the feather curtain again.

Walking and walking, I walked to the door of Songting Building, and just wanted to lift my feet to enter, I was hugged by the feather curtain.

"Little Feather Curtain, you let go of me." Li Tong has a good voice.

"No, madam, you can't go in again, if the slave lets you in again, the general will kill the slave." The feather curtain hugged tighter.

"Little Feather Curtain, Madame is going to be angry." Li Tong tugged at the corners of his mouth and tugged the arm of the feather curtain, but he didn't expect that this arm was thin and short, and his strength was quite strong, why couldn't he pull it open?

The feather curtain raised her head, with tears in her eyes: "Madam, there is still a girl in red staring." ”

The master and servant refused to give in to each other at the door of Songting Tower, and finally ended with Li Tong giving up, and she would never admit that she succumbed to Baili Ye's surveillance.

Unable to enter the Songting Tower, Li Tong's mood was very uncertain.

Suddenly, not far from the street ahead, there was a commotion, and a slight cry mixed with it.

"What's so hilarious? Take a look at the past. Li Tong shrugged his shoulders and took a step.

Yu Curtain breathed a sigh of relief, in short, as long as Madame didn't enter places like Songting Tower, she could go wherever she wanted.

In this regard, Chiyi strongly agreed.

The crowd was in a circle, and the middle place was vacated, and a disheveled and sloppy-looking child who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, blinking a pair of timid eyes, stood in the midst of the noisy crowd, like a wounded and trapped young beast, lonely and trembling.

His clothes were torn, and there were still a few steamed buns rolling off the ground, which had been stained with mud and could no longer be eaten, but those bright eyes kept staring and did not move.

It was a hungry look.

Someone pushed him, and the force didn't seem heavy, but Shengsheng pushed the child to the ground, and his bare/exposed elbow rubbed against the ground, and soon it turned red, oozing a few drops of blood.

He didn't dare to cry, he only bit his lower lip, and his eyes were red.

Li Tong can't see this kind of scene the most, this child doesn't look like a beggar, the clothes on his body are not so dirty, even if Li Tong doesn't stand close, he can see that the cloth material is not so rough, even if he is not a rich child, at least the family is also reading and etiquette, why did it fall to this point?

The person standing in front of him was still pointing at his nose and scolding, but the child didn't say a word, if he had changed the little beggar next to him, I am afraid that he would have yelled and screamed.

"It's just a child, don't you have to say it so ugly?" Li Tong couldn't listen to it anymore, and frowned.

Probably thinking that no one would help him, the child raised his head in surprise, and the tears that had been stored in his eyes fell a few because of the movement of raising his head too much.

Not to mention Li Tong, Yu Curtain couldn't help crying.

"Don't worry about this lady, this kid is a thief!"

The kid bowed his head, acquiescing.

Li Tong pursed his lips: "Feather curtain, give money." ”

Even if it's a thief, it's probably a last resort.

Li Tong walked over, stretched out his hand and pulled the child up from the ground, raised his arm and looked at it carefully, it was okay, the injury was not serious, it was just a little scratched skin, but now that he looked closely, he knew that the child was so thin that he was skinny, and when he looked inside from the torn clothes, he could see the child's ribs sticking to the skin.

Li Tong looked at him a little distressed, how long have you been hungry?

"Let's go." Li Tong took the child's hand, but he didn't expect the child to stand stubbornly in place.

"How?"

The child raised his head, knelt down with a puff, kowtowed to Li Tong a few times, and tears flowed down like opening the floodgates: "Please Madame, save us!" ”

Li Tong frowned slightly, the crowd around him had not dispersed, and this was not a good time to speak.

She pulled the person up forcefully and said coldly: "Eat first, and then talk about things." ”

found a wonton stall at random, Li Tong asked Yu Curtain to buy some medicine for the wound, and carefully medicated the child, Yu Curtain frowned with a pair of willow eyebrows throughout the whole process, and his little face was red.

"What's your name?" Li Tong rested his arms on the table, and when he saw that he was eating bowl after bowl quickly, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe his mouth for him.

"Ren Tang."

Li Tong raised his eyebrows: "Good name, where are you?" ”

"Liuyue Village."

Li Tong thought for a while before remembering: "Ah, it's separated from Yicheng by a mountain, right?" ”

Ren Tang nodded, after filling his stomach, he seemed more calm than just now, Li Tong admired it, he could have such a bearing at a young age, and his family taught him very well!

It's just that before Li Tong could appreciate it more, he pushed away the stool and knelt down again.

Li Tong took a deep breath, she was still a little unaccustomed to someone kneeling on her.

"When you have something to say, don't kneel at every turn." Li Tong waved his hand and let the feather curtain help him up: "The boy has gold under his knees, kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, don't kneel to others." ”

Ren Tang wiped his tears: "There was a flash flood in Liuyue Village, the whole village was flooded, and even the next village was implicated, my father and mother were killed, I was fortunate to be rescued by my neighbor Aunt Zeng, and I was able to escape...... Say we're ......"

The more Li Tong listened, the worse his face became, and his tone became cold: "What are you talking about?" ”

"It is said that we have committed the wrath of the heavens, which will cause a torrent, and we are guilty, so we must not enter Yicheng, lest we defile the imperial city." Ren Tang said, sobbing sideways, pinching his dirty sleeves and wiping his face vigorously, but the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became.

"How can that be?!" Li Tong slapped the table.

As a good young man of modern socialism who has experienced scientific education, even if Li Tong accidentally arrived in this place, she doesn't believe in this anger, after all, she didn't steal two or rob three and didn't violate the law and discipline, how could such a strange and chaotic thing happen for no reason, it can only show that it is an unknown territory.

What's more, flash floods are clearly natural disasters.

The Yicheng government actually concealed the disaster and prevented the victims from entering the city for the sake of good political performance, if this kind of thing is poked out, let alone the Yicheng government, there is probably a string of people above who have to be responsible.

Li Tong's mind turned a few times and said, "How many of you are there?" Where do you live? Take me to see it. ”

Ren Tang nodded, and was just about to raise his feet, but the feather curtain on the side opened: "Madam, do you really want to go?" In case of danger......"

"It's okay, isn't there still a red coat? If you're worried, go back to the General's Mansion and let me know first, and then come back to me. After Li Tong finished speaking, he pulled Ren Tang and left, where could Li Tong be allowed to go like this with the feather curtain, stomped his feet, and had to follow.

"Don't go back to the General's Mansion to inform?" Li Tong asked her with a smile.

The feather curtain turned his head away, and his little face puffed up in anger.

This little girl, although she admires Baili Ye and is not loyal to herself, is still very cute, staying by her side as a companion, and occasionally flirting and flirting is regarded as a spice for life.

Ren Tang took Li Tong and the others straight out of the city, the path became more and more deviant, the weeds went higher and higher, and many leaves had thorns on the tips, cutting out the threads of Li Tong's clothes, and the embroidered shoes on his feet were also stained with a lot of mud, but Li Tong only frowned slightly, and did not take it seriously.

Yu Curtain wanted to complain, but seeing that his wife didn't say anything, he had to pinch his sleeves with a look of resentment.

After a while, the three of them arrived at a broken temple, saying that the broken temple had wronged this place, there was not even a complete roof, the broken wall was ruined, extremely dilapidated, the Buddha statue was paralyzed in the courtyard, half of the body was gone, half of the clay sculpture was broken on the ground, and some yellow, yellow, blue and blue wildflowers grew, which was quite a bit of a desperate place to survive.

However, the people here did shock Li Tong.

She thought that there would be a lot of people, and she also calculated the number of people in her heart along the way, and there would be no more than thirty or forty people to die, but this head poking out from every corner told her that there were more than thirty or forty people.

Li Tong frowned slightly, and asked again: "How many people?" ”
