Who are they? Do you know? Hongyu pointed to the children inside the temple and the old beggar standing outside.

"Well, they are friends with me, and we came to Jinling together!" She replied truthfully, not thinking about anything else.

"Don't stand, this little brother has been on the road for a few days, so it's better to sit down and drink a bowl of porridge."

The old beggar didn't have anything else, and there was still a handful of rice left in the porridge, so he generously invited Hongyu in.

Hongyu may have been extremely hungry, so he took Lu Qingyu's hand and entered the temple.

After saying goodbye to Hongyu for a few days, and being frightened along the way, the little couple naturally had countless things to say when they saw each other at first glance.

The old beggar beckoned the children out of the Chenghuang Temple, "One by one, they know how to wait for food and drink, and they don't know how to go out to collect firewood and catch a pheasant?" ”

The group of children walked out in a noisy manner, and the old beggar deliberately squeezed his eyes at Lu Qingyu before going out, which meant self-evident.

Lu Qingyu didn't feel anything, but in this way, she became inexplicably shy, and spat at the old beggar with a red face, "It's disrespectful to the old!" ”

The old beggar laughed and went out with the children.

Hongyu stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the group of people who were going away, frowning, "How do you know them?" ”

Lu Qingyu told him about the experience of the past few days with great interest, and at the end, he didn't forget to raise his chin proudly to him, "What's the matter?" Your daughter-in-law didn't ask for nothing, did she? After only a few days of going out, I will bring you so many people, and if you train well in the future, you will be your right-hand man. ”

Unexpectedly, Hongyu didn't show a smart and capable expression of his daughter-in-law after hearing this, but just snorted and said disdainfully, "A group of beggars, what can they do?" It costs a lot of money to keep them! ”

Lu Qingyu didn't like to hear this, she wanted to sneer at her lips angrily, aren't you also from a micro background? But he held back again.

Xu Yes, Hongyu is afraid that she is working too hard, and she doesn't want to worry too much about the silver, right?

"Actually, I don't worry about the silver," Lu Qingyu exhaled and looked at him with a pleasant face, "Although the world is not peaceful, medical skills can always be used." Even if the war spreads, I can still treat the wounds of the soldiers, and the silver is only a lot more! ”

After Hongyu heard her words, his face looked much better, and he said with a smile, "You still have a brain." There was also a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

But Lu Qingyu still felt that he was not as considerate as before.

Hongyu is a person who can be cold to anyone, but only to her, that is obedient, especially if she has any ideas, even if he is not good at words, he will definitely show a look of praise.

The person in front of her was invisibly alienated, which made her a little unpredictable.

She thought it might be because the two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days, after all, this person was weak and slow.

She was very tired, and she didn't think much of it, but after a few words with him, she sat down on the hay laid by the old beggar.

Hongyu stood there without moving, looking at the layer of hay on the ground with his hands in his eyes, his eyebrows and eyes full of disdain.

"Why are you still standing?" Lu Qingyu patted the open space beside him, "Sit down and rest." ”

Hongyu shook his head, "I just saw you, and I was just happy." After speaking, he walked over and sat next to Lu Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu habitually touched his head, who knew that Hongyu turned his head suddenly, Lu Qingyu was startled, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Hongyu seemed to come back to his senses and sneered, "I haven't washed my hair for several days." ”

"When did you become so particular?" Lu Qingyu pouted dissatisfiedly, "When I first rescued you, that hair was messy like a chicken nest, and I didn't see you dirty." ”

Hongyu's face trembled unnaturally, and he only smiled.

The old beggar came back with the children to collect dry firewood and hunt game, and a group of people rushed into the temple, and several children rushed over, shouting, "Sister, eat chicken tonight." ”

Hongyu stood up and jumped away in disgust, watching Lu Qingyu touch the children's heads, with indescribable disgust between his eyebrows.

Lu Qingyu patronized and laughed with the child, but he didn't notice his face, but the old beggar on the side squinted at him a few times, and quietly carried the pheasant to the river to deal with it.

Lu Qingyu and the children were chattering, and Hongyu walked out with his hands in his hands, looking at the back of the old beggar, his eyes flashed, and he followed.

As soon as the old beggar squatted down by the stream, he saw a figure on the water, and when he turned his head, he saw Hongyu standing behind him, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

The old beggar snorted from his nose, turned his head and continued to deal with the pheasant, his mouth was not idle, "I think you are not worthy of Miss Lu." ”

Hongyu sneered disdainfully, "What do you think?" Who do you think you are? ”

"Hmph, with your virtue, I don't know how Miss Lu looks down on you?" Not to be outdone, the old beggar shook his hand and continued to pluck chicken feathers.

"What's wrong with my virtue? It was her pleasure to take a fancy to me! Hongyu said as he walked around behind the old beggar.

The old beggar was not convinced, Miss Lu was so noble and benevolent in his eyes, how could she marry a man who was not such a thing?

It's her honor to take a fancy to him!

Bah!

It's a shame to take a fancy to him!

He must tell Lu Qingyu to keep her away from this man, this kind of man is not a good match, and Miss Lu deserves a better person.

He plucked the chicken feathers, carried the pheasant in the water with both hands, and was about to get up and go back, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the knife he disemboweled, and couldn't help but look back.

Seeing a bright blade suddenly hit his neck, Hongyu smiled sneeringly, "Old thing, let you look down on me, go to death." ”

With the last word uttered, he raised his knife and stabbed the old beggar in the neck.

Blood gushed out, and the old beggar stared at him with wide eyes, but only gurgling sounded from his mouth, and blood gushed out of his mouth, and his body fell limply.

The washed pheasant fell from his hand to the river, and its bones rolled in the grass.

Hongyu kicked the old beggar into the rushing river, and watched him sink several times with the river, and finally was washed downstream.

He threw the blood-stained knife into the river, squatted down to wash his hands, and then walked back slowly.

In the mountains and forests not far away, a pair of eyes looked at this scene in horror, and a small black hand covered its mouth stiffly.

Lu Qingyu talked to the children in the temple for a while, and then he felt hungry, raised his eyes and looked at the sky outside that was already covered with black shadows, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Why haven't you beggar grandfathers come back yet?" I'm drooling over the pheasant. ”

"I've asked Xiao Liuzi to find it." After the eldest child finished speaking to Lu Qingyu, he called another child and instructed, "You go and find Xiao Liuzi, don't be greedy for fun." ”

The kid pedaled out and ran out, but as soon as he went out, he shouted, "Little Liuzi, are you back?" ”

When Lu Qingyu walked to the door, he saw Xiao Liuzi coming back from outside, step by step, as if he had no strength in his legs, as if he was dragging two legs back.

Look at his face again, miserable and white, like hell.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Qingyu thought he was sick, so she hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead, which was a little hot, so she quickly pulled him to the temple and brought him a bowl of hot water, "Hurry up and drink it, just cover your sweat." ”

Turning around and not seeing the figure of the old beggar, Lu Qingyu asked Xiao Liuzi again, "Didn't you go to find the beggar grandfather?" Where is he? ”

Xiao Liuzi pursed his lips and was about to say something, when he saw Hongyu coming back with brisk steps, he quickly turned his head and shook desperately, "I, I don't know." ”

Lai Yi knocked him on the head angrily, "Such an adult, why can't you do anything!" ”

Hongyu stepped into the threshold and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

I was busy talking, but Xiao Liuzi dragged his sleeve and shook it, so he smirked, but he didn't say it.

Lu Qingyu looked at this kid so awkwardly, he only felt a little strange, and thought that they were afraid of Hongyu. I think I was very scared of this guy at the beginning, but I didn't expect that after a few months of getting along, the two of them would be together.

Fate, it's really amazing!

She smiled, and no longer asked Xiao Liuzi, only looked at Hongyu and said, "Uncle went to wash pheasants, and he hasn't come back for so long, I'm a little worried about him, why don't we go and find it together." ”

Hongyu nodded, and was about to go out.

Lu Qingyu's eyes flashed, shouldn't this guy say that he just went to find it himself?

He didn't let her do anything that she used to do in the past.

But seeing that it was getting dark, she didn't bother about it, so she went to the river with Hongyu.

The river flowed quietly, and the water splashed, but there was no shadow of the old beggar.

Lu Qingyu wondered: "It's so late, where did he go alone?" ”

Hongyu chuckled, "Are you afraid that a pheasant will not be enough for you to eat, and he will find a place to swallow it by himself?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Lu Qingyu gave him a blank look, he really couldn't get used to him slandering the old beggar like this, "He's not such a person." ”

If he was a greedy eater and drinker who only cared about himself, how could an old beggar adopt so many children?

Hongyu saw that she was unhappy, and hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, I'm just joking, why are you angry?" Maybe he picked up dry wood and roasted chicken. ”

Lu Qingyu was noncommittal, turned around and walked back, but unexpectedly tripped over something, startling himself.

It was dark, and she saw a motionless thing lying at her feet, so she couldn't help but grab Hongyu and hide behind him.

"What's that?"

Hongyu bent down to get it, and his face suddenly changed.

"Nothing, just a stone." He straightened up quietly, and after speaking lightly, he urged Lu Qingyu, "Go back quickly, there may be some poisonous snakes in this field, and one bite will be terrible." ”

Lu Qingyu saw that the thing didn't move for a long time, and he became bolder, so he quietly touched it with his toes.

Soft, it seems to be some kind of flesh.

She bent down and reached out to pick it up, it was soft and dripping, and it smelled fishy.

She suddenly remembered something, her face changed, and she hurried to the temple.

Hongyu hurriedly followed, and persuaded her, "What is this, throw it away quickly." ”

Lu Qingyu trotted to the temple, and by the light of the fire, he saw that it was the pheasant that the old beggar plucked clean.

Her face turned white.

The pheasant was rolling in the grass, but the old beggar was not seen by the river, could he ......

She didn't dare to imagine it, holding the pheasant in her hand, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Laiyi took the roast chicken, roasted it on the fire, and saw Lu Qingyu standing there stupidly, not knowing what was wrong, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Qingyu's lips opened, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Liuzi stared at the pheasant with a pair of eyes, and suddenly cried.

Everyone turned their eyes to him at once, and Lu Qingyu also gathered his thoughts, "Why are you crying?" ”

"I, I, I want to beg, grandpa ......" Xiao Liuzi said intermittently, and the other children also grinned and cried.

"Shut up!" Hongyu suddenly burst into a loud cry, successfully scaring the group of children.

Lu Qingyu looked at him in shock, "What are you doing here?" Look at what scares them. ”

Hongyu snorted impatiently, "They don't understand the rules, how can they do it if they don't teach well?" ”

Although I can't find any thorns in these words, I always feel that it is not a taste in Qingyu's ears.

She glanced at him fiercely and made a decision, "Hongyu, you go with me to find the old man." ”

"Where can I find this black light?" Hongyu was extremely reluctant.

Lu Qingyu ignored it, turned around and walked out, "Where are your brothers?" Call them along. ”

"They haven't arrived yet." There was some impatience in Hongyu's tone, "I'm worried about you, so hurry up and get ahead of them." ”

Lu Qingyu turned his head and suddenly smiled coldly, "What day did you set off, how many days did you go, and which way did you go?" ”

Hongyu looked at Lu Qingyu's frosty face, very dissatisfied, "Are you testing me?" Still don't believe me? ”

Lu Qingyu was stunned, yes, what are you doing? Maybe he went out day and night alone, and suffered a lot before he hurried over, and along the way, he didn't know how many meals he ate, and he didn't sleep, right?

How could she doubt him and ask such a thing?

She lowered her eyes and finally sighed, "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have killed you." ”

"What are you talking about between me?" Hongyu saw her and softened, so he stepped forward and pulled her, "It's late at night, even if we go down to the river, it won't help, let's wait until tomorrow dawn, they all arrive and then make plans." ”

Lu Qingyu nodded, knowing that what he said made sense. Besides, she couldn't be sure that the old beggar would fall into the water.

Maybe something else has happened.

She put down her impatience, went to the haystack in the corner and sat down, and watched as the pheasant was cooked, and she had no appetite, so she let him share it with the children.

She and Hongyu drank some rice porridge alone, then lit the fire, lay down and slept.

In the middle of the night, she heard something in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the fire had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of reddish embers.

The movement came from the corner, and she waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness before she could see a person squatting in the corner, thin and small, afraid of which child was here.

She didn't know what was wrong with the child, so she just lay there and watched quietly.

After waiting for a while, the child was still sobbing quietly, and she was about to get up to comfort him, when she suddenly saw Hongyu, who was sleeping on the side, get up from the ground, walk to the child in a few steps, and lower her voice and roar, "Why are you crying?" Cry again, believe it or not, I'll strangle you! ”

The child's crying stopped abruptly in fright, and only one sobbing after another remained.
