"Sister eats."

Qu Jin'er raised the cake in her hand and let the rice pearl eat.

Mi Pearl opened her mouth and took a small bite symbolically, "You eat first, let's find a place to sit down and I'll eat later." She took Qu Jin'er's hand out of the village and walked towards a dirt slope on the right.

The slopes are overgrown with weeds, sparse fruit trees grow one after another, and red, green, and green apples and pears hang on the branches.

Pearl sat down on a protruding stone with a wide view of the small village and a large road at the edge of the village.

Qu Jin'er squatted next to Mi Pearl, slowly eating half of the cake in her hand, looking at Mi Pearl for a while and looking at the small village for a while.

Mi Pearl looked at a carriage passing by on the road and was a little dazed, she didn't know what she should do, go after Miss Three, but she couldn't find any trace of Miss Three.

Since she was stunned, she has lost all traces of Ruohong.

Let's go back to Mei's house in Jinling City, Mi Pearl has been out for seven or eight days, except for the first day, she knows that she is going all the way to the east, and she doesn't know where to go for the rest of the days.

The worst problem now is that she is penniless, even if she knows the direction of Jinling City, she will not be able to go back for a while.

Mi Pearl looked at Qu Jin'er who was squatting on the ground, and felt that she had dug a pit for herself, she still brought a drag oil bottle now, and she didn't know how to arrange this little girl!

Qu Jin'er saw that Mi Pearl was looking at her, and she didn't know if she felt something, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Did my sister want to leave me with that aunt just now?" ”

Mi Pearl was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Qu Jin'er to be so sensitive, "Yes." If you stay there, you won't have to worry about running out of food, and you won't have to follow me through the streets, with no place to live, and nothing to eat. She said.

Qu Jin'er stopped eating the cake, looked up at Mi Pearl, and said faintly: "What if they sell me again?" What if they hit me? ”

Mi Pearl was stunned for a moment, she didn't think about these things, "I didn't think about this." But what's so good about you following me? She said.

"You're not going to beat me or sell me, are you?" Qu Jin'er looked at Mi Pearl uncertainly.

"Hmm."

Mi Pearl smiled, reached out and took out half of the cake in her arms, broke another piece for Qu Jin'er, and ate a small half by herself.

Qu Jin'er was holding a cake in both hands, and there was a smile in her eyes, sweeping away the gloomy look just now.

The two of them ate the cakes, and Mi Pearl went to the tree to pick a few apples and pears, gave Qu Jin'er an apple for her to eat, and stuffed two pears into her clothes, and kept them to eat when she was thirsty.

Mi Pearl was eating a pear, and she also hid two pears in the placket of her clothes, ready to be eaten on the road.

She didn't know what she was wrong just now, and she remembered what Master Zichen Zhenren said: God is hungry and blind sparrows!

Mi Pearl took a bite of the pear in her hand, isn't this the food God gives! Still don't want money, the corners of her mouth rose into a smile when she thought of this.

She pulled Qu Jin'er down the dirt slope, and as soon as she walked on the road, she heard someone calling them from behind, and the two of them were two teenagers, both thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Stop, thief ahead! How dare you steal our pears? ”

"And apples."

Mi Pearl and Qu Jin'er looked back, threw away the pears that were almost finished in their hands, spread their legs and ran forward.

Qu Jin'er saw that Mi Pearl threw the pear, and threw the apple in her hand without hesitation, catching up with Mi Pearl in front and running together, giggling at the same time.

Mi Pearl also laughed, I don't know why I laughed, I just wanted to laugh, it was the kind of hearty laughter.

The two young men chased after them for a while, and when they saw that they were far away, they stopped running, and stood there panting.

"Whew, you're running so fast!"

"Forget it, let them go, see if the two of them haven't picked much."

"Quite a few! There must be a lot of bulging in their clothes......"

"Forget it, it's not worth much."

I don't know how long I ran, and I don't know how far I ran, Qu Jin'er couldn't run, squatted on the ground and didn't walk, "Sister, I can't run." She said.

Mi Pearl also squatted down and gasped for two breaths, and after a short rest, she pulled Qu Jin'er and walked towards the front of the road again.

On the way, Mi Pearl asked an old farmer, and knew that the place where they were located was in Yangzhou Prefecture, in the north of Jinling City, the old farmer pointed to the road and told Mi Pearl that he could go to Yangzhou City by walking along this road.

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Pearl decided to go to Yangzhou City first, thanked the old farmer, and pulled Qu Jin'er towards the destination in his heart.

They walked and stopped, and they stopped and walked until it was dark, and they didn't see the head of the city wall of Yangzhou City.

On the way, they ate another multigrain cake, and they also shared a few apples and pears with them. It wasn't until it was dark that Qu Jin'er couldn't walk anymore, and her sleepy upper and lower eyelids couldn't be opened, so Mi Pearl carried her down the road and fell asleep on a pile of straw in the field.

When the rooster crowed twice, Mi Pearl woke up, looked at the stars in the sky, and thought that it was good that it hadn't rained in the past two days, otherwise she and Qu Jin'er would have been miserable.

Turning his head to look at Qu Jin'er who was asleep next to him, a ray of pride rose in Mi Pearl's heart, thinking that she was like this now, like a competent big sister who took good care of her little sister.

Lay down for a while and enjoyed the moment again! Mi Pearl got up, picked up Qu Jin'er with the starry sky, and walked towards Yangzhou City.

After Ruoxue retrieved Ruohong, she stayed in Dantu City for two or three days before leaving, one was to let Ruohong have a good rest, and the other was that Ruoxue wanted to go to see the Mei family's property here.

After finding Ruohong, Ruoxue was not in a hurry, and she played while walking along the way, and also looked at several industrial shops.

After more than a month outside, Ruoxue and Ruohong walked back, when they came out of Jinling, they went east, and when they went back, Ruohong proposed to go north and come back to Jinling in a small circle.

Although Ruohong didn't come out voluntarily, she was very happy to play with Ruoxue all the way, and completely forgot the little fear that Han Xinwang left her to Java.

Ruoxue saw that she was happy like that, so she smiled and agreed, as long as she was happy, it was nothing more than staying outside for a few more days!

After more than ten days, Ruoxue and others entered the east gate of Yangzhou City and stopped in front of a shop called Cui Bao Zhai on Dongguan Street.

This is a shop with a large façade, in front of which is a five-bay façade room, and there are countless jade treasures placed on the large cabinets inside, and it is also a place where guests linger.

Behind it is the Garden Room, which is a place for some distinguished guests to enjoy and enjoy.

Wang Shichang, the big shopkeeper of Cui Bao Zhai, took the account room and a few stewards with a head and face to greet Ruoxue and them outside the gate.

"The little one is waiting for the owner to say goodbye!"
