Suzhou City.

…………

Ah Tie'er came to the pharmacy and said, "Boss, come with two bottles of gold sore medicine, and some of the best tonics!!"

The owner of the pharmacy looked at him and knew that he was a layman, so he took out some gold sore medicine for him, and took out a few bottles of finished tonic, and asked, "Is this enough?"

Ah Tie'er looked at the same, and said, "Enough, how much silver does the boss have?" ”

"Fifteen taels."

Ah Tie'er's eyes popped out, "So expensive?" ”

The boss pouted and said, "I still want to be cured if I don't have any money!!"

…………

In the past twelve or thirteen years, Ah Tie'er has any disease is a antibody, and if he is really sick, he will dig some herbs to eat, and he has never bought medicine for himself. Fortunately, these "ill-gotten gains" are enough for fifteen taels, so in order to save people, let's have a luxury.

…………

"Of course there is, what is fifteen taels? To give! To give!! ”

Ah Tie'er took the medicine and walked towards the broken temple quickly, not paying attention, and bumping into a passerby.

Ah Tie'er said "I'm sorry" and continued walking.

I didn't know that the passer-by shouted: "It's this kid who knocked me out!" Bad master, that thief stole my gold!! ”

Ah Tie'er was shocked, and hurriedly looked back, but found that it was the passerby he had just knocked out, but he didn't expect him to wake up and come to the city, let alone that he would report a business trip, and recognize himself so quickly.

…………

Ah Tie'er lowered her head and ran, looking behind her back as she ran, only to find that the passerby was pointing out to the messengers who had arrived.

…………

"Oh, it's broken, how can I go back to the temple to deliver medicine?"

Ah Tie'er ran up in a panic, and the messenger behind shouted: "Stop, stop for me!" ”

Ah Tie'er said in her heart: "The fool only stops!!"

…………

I looked back while running, but I didn't expect to run into a T-shaped alley all of a sudden.

Ah Tie'er knew that no matter from left to right, he couldn't escape, so he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and when he heard the voice of the messenger getting closer and closer, it seemed that he had to jump off the wall, but the wall was so high that he didn't know if he could climb over it, and even if he did, he would have to fall out of it.

But seeing that there was no hurry if he didn't turn it over, Ah Tie'er put the medicine in his arms, jumped with his heart, and climbed the high wall.

This leap has broken through his limit, and he would definitely not be able to jump so high normally, so he desperately flipped over.

The soldiers chased them to the alley, but they didn't find Ah Tie'er, "What about people, I obviously saw that kid running here, search separately!" ”

…………

Ah Tie'er felt the pain of the back pier and got up and quietly squatted under the base of the wall, listening carefully to the movement outside the wall.

——— knew that everyone was gone, so he relaxed his nerves and stood up and looked around.

It didn't matter if she looked at it, Ah Tie'er was immediately stunned.

…………

——— saw that the four walls of this courtyard were all carved with mysterious wood grains, and the flowers and trees along the walls were lush, and the green smoke and mist were shrouded in them.

A fresh breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere.

In the center of the yard is a pool, there is a rockery next to the pool, the pavilion bamboo bridge is not lacking, and there are many lotus leaves and duckweed. The moonlight is like frost, reflecting on the water of this pool, and it really ripples out of a dream world.

…………

Ah Tie'er has been lonely for many years, how can he have seen such a mysterious place, and while sighing, he actually aroused a little sadness among the young man.

Ah Tie'er secretly calculated that she had been adrift for thirteen years. It would be nice to be in such a manor in the future.........

…………

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps not far away, and under a slight startle, Ah Tie'er hurriedly dodged and hid behind the rockery, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound.

——— saw a maid walk over slowly, came to a room, clapped her hands gently, and in a moment, the door opened with a "creak", and a rough voice came from inside: "What does the girl command?" ＂

The maid smiled and said, "Madame said that the master will come back early today, so that you can make the best dishes for the master." ＂

The people in the house responded, "Okay!! Rest assured, girl, the little one has been written down!! ＂

…………

The maid turned around and left, but Ah Tie'er's heart was no longer calm.

Because from the moment the door opened, Ah Tie'er smelled a fragrance that she had never smelled in her life, and it spread in the wind.

Ah Tie'er swallowed her saliva, pressed her rumbling stomach again, crept to the side of the house, and peeked out the window, knowing that this was the dining room of the manor, and the two cooks were busy with their backs to themselves at this time.

…………

I only heard a fat cook say to another thin cook: "Every time the master goes out, the lady is worried again and again, and every time she comes back, she must cook all kinds of big dishes to entertain the master." ”

The thin cook laughed and said, "That's not good? We will be able to borrow light to taste these dishes that no one else can eat in their lifetime. ”

Fat cook: "Why does the old man go out for so many days a month?" ”

The thin cook said, "I don't understand, hey, why do we care so much!" Who? ”

…………

It turned out that it was Ah Tie'er who saw the white flower steamed bun and put it under the window in a place where it was within reach. Hunger prompted Ah Tie'er to risk being discovered, slowly put his arm in, and grabbed two steamed buns.

Due to the success, Ah Tie'er was suddenly excited, and suddenly his hand shook, touched the plate next to him, and made a crisp sound, Ah Tie'er quickly retracted his arm, and the steamed bun fell back to its original place.

…………

"It must be the feral cat stealing something to eat, leave it alone!! The fat cook didn't care.

"Hey, remember the last time that wild cat was chased away by me, did it come back again? I'm going to have to scare that little beast this time!! So saying, he walked out.

Seeing this, Ah Tie'er complained bitterly, and before he could find out, he ran to the front yard.

As soon as she turned the hallway, Ah Tie'er bumped into a woman walking towards her.

…………

The woman was about to scream, but Ah Tie'er covered her mouth, only to find out that it was the maid just now, probably coming to tell the cook something.

Ah Tie'er looked left and right, and saw a small door not far away, so she didn't think much about it at the moment, and hid in with the maid.

It was only when Ah Tie'er closed the door with his backhand that he found out.

——— this was originally a firewood house, and the house was full of dry firewood, and there was very little room for shelter.

Ah Tie'er couldn't, so she had to cover the girl's mouth, leaning against the door tightly, listening intently to the movement outside.

…………

After a long time, the cook found nothing, and then he went back to the dining room with a curse.

Ah Tie'er let out a sigh of relief, looked down, and was suddenly startled.

——— saw that the maid had teary eyes, and she had already lost her mind from this sudden fear. It turned out that she only thought she was being held hostage by a bad person.

Ah Tie'er suddenly panicked, and wanted to settle her down for a few words, but she didn't know where to start, she held back for a long time, and only said hesitantly: "No......... Don't cry!! I'm not a bad person, I was chased by the messengers, and I had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter your house. Be a good person, don't tell anyone, let me hide here for a while, okay? ＂

After finishing speaking, I found that I was still covering other people's mouths, and said that this was like begging someone, and I thought that she hadn't promised herself yet, if she let go, wouldn't it be over if she screamed, and she suddenly felt in a dilemma.

…………

When the maid saw that he didn't look like a villain, and saw his embarrassed expression, she immediately understood what he was thinking.

Nodding vigorously, Ah Tie'er let go of her hand with confidence, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

The maid also dispelled some of her fears, and said, "It seems that you don't look like a bad person."

Ah Tie'er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I am a good person, really a good person!!"

The maid said, "If you are a good person, why are you chased by the messengers?"

…………

"I, I'm a little Hanako," said Ah Tie'er in a deep voice, "one of my companions was injured by the city's Hanako, and now he is in danger, in order to save his life, I robbed a passer-by of the gold and went to the city to buy medicine, but I ran into an errand again, and they chased me into a corner, so I fled here........." said as he checked the maid's face.

After hearing this, the maid understood what he was doing very well, and said: "It is not right to rob people and property, but I also understand your desire to save people's hearts." The soldiers here are vicious, if you are caught by them, it will be miserable, last time I saw a thief caught by them and beaten alive into a waste!! ”

When Ah Tie'er heard this, he begged and said, "Sister, let me hide here for the time being!" Saving people's lives is immeasurable, and my sister doesn't want me to become a waste at a young age!! ”

The maid said: "Of course not, I am also a good person, you can hide in this firewood room until night, and it should be safe to sneak out of the city while it is dark."

…………

Ah Tie'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said while kowtowing, "Thank you, sister!" ＂

When the maid saw what he was doing, she helped him up and said, "No need to do this."

Ah Tie'er touched his head and said: "In the past, when I asked for food, people had to kowtow three times to a few copper plates, sister, this is a life-saving grace, even if it is not an exaggeration to kowtow ten times!!"

The maid said, "My sister has it! Hurry up!! Ah Tie'er laughed.

When the maid saw him like this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, and her two thin eyebrows smiled like willow leaves, which was very good-looking.

…………

Suddenly, Ah Tie'er's stomach rumbled at this time, and the atmosphere was suddenly embarrassing.

The maid's sister didn't care, and said softly: "Little brother, you wait here, I'll go get you something to eat, but now the meal hasn't arrived, so I can only take two steamed buns first." I'll get you some delicious ones in the evening, and you'll have enough to eat and get out of the city." ＂

Ah Tie'er nodded violently, not knowing how to say the words of thanks.

…………

The maid walked towards the dining room.

Ah Tie'er heard her say in the dining room outside: "The maids are hungry, let me take a look and see if there is anything that can cushion the stomach first?" ＂

The two cooks seemed to be in awe of her, and hurriedly replied, "There is nothing to eat at this time, just these steamed buns, why don't you bring some and let the girls take the lead and settle for them?" ＂

There was no movement outside for a long time, and after a while, the door of the firewood room creaked open, and the maid walked in on tiptoe, closed the door with her hand, and whispered to Ah Tie'er: "Eat it while it's hot!" ＂

After speaking, he stuffed two steaming steamed buns into Ah Tie'er's hands.

…………

Ah Tie'er took the steamed bun and didn't know how to thank Sister Ya.

He only lowered his head and the wind was severe, and a hot breath spread from Ah Tie'er's mouth to his throat, and finally fell into his stomach.

Ah Tie'er couldn't control it for a while, and two lines of hot tears burst out of her eyes, wantonly drawing two clear marks on Ah Tie'er's face.

…………

The maid couldn't bear it, and regardless of the old mud on Ah Tie'er's face, she reached out to slowly wipe away her tears for him, and said movingly: "Actually, my sister and I are also a hard-working child, my father and mother are gone as soon as I was born, and I fled with my aunt to this Suzhou city in my early years." My aunt could not support two mouths with one hand, and she saw that the whole family was difficult to live, and later, thanks to the kindness of the lord and lady, she left many hard-working children like me to be the servants and maids of the family, so that we had a way to live. When I see you, little brother, I think of myself back then. People in the world are one family, and I understand your feelings very well now!! ＂

…………

Ah Tie'er's nose suddenly soured when she heard this, and she said, "My sister's life is so good!" Like me, I have lived for more than ten years by asking for food, and I have traveled through countless cities and counties, but I have never met a kind-hearted person to take me in! I thought I still had some strength, so I wanted to be an apprentice in one of those shops, but they thought I was dirty and beat me out......... ＂

The more Ah Tie'er spoke, the more sad she became, and she ate a mouthful of steamed buns into her mouth, but she couldn't swallow it anymore, and she choked up.

The maid's sister hurriedly reassured him and said, "People should not be arrogant! The little brother is young, he is smart, and his future is uncertain!! ＂

Ah Tie'er heard this sentence that no one had told him before, turned his head and said, "The road ahead is unpredictable, my future may really be like that!" When the time comes, you can also have hot steamed buns every day!! ＂

When the maid saw Ah Tie'er's appearance, she laughed heartily.

…………

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

…………

The maid sister said: "It's the master who is back, I have to go out to greet the master, little brother, you can stay here in peace, I will come to see you in the evening!" ＂

Ah Tie'er suddenly thought of the little fat man in the broken temple outside the city, so she said, "Sister maid, can you please do me a favor?"

…………

The maid smiled, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Ah Tie'er took out the medicine she bought for the little fat man and the remaining one hundred and eighty taels of silver from her bosom, and said, "My companion is now in the broken mountain temple outside the south city gate in order to protect me from being seriously injured, and now I am in danger of going out, sister, can you help me deliver the medicine and silver to him?"

The maid looked at the sky and said, "Okay, it's still early, there's no problem, you just hide here first, don't run around!" ”

Ah Tie'er agreed, the maid took the medicine, and Ah Tie'er instructed: "If he asks about me, don't say that I am being chased by the messenger, just say that I have some urgent things to do, and I will return to the temple when it is done."

…………

The maid nodded and turned around and just left, when she heard Ah Tie'er whispering, "Sister maid, I don't know what your name is!" ＂

The listener immediately lowered his head, turned around and smiled at Ah Tie'er, and replied softly, "I'll talk about it when I come back in the evening......... ＂

Ah Tie'er heard an excited "um".

The maid looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, hurriedly walked a few steps, turned the corner of the corridor, and disappeared from Ah Tie'er's field of vision.
