Murong Jin tugged at his robe inward, and instead of letting go, his hand pulled tighter. So he had to squat down, intending to pull out the corner of the robe from that hand, but that hand grabbed Murong Jin's hand instead, leaving some dirty black paw prints on the white hand.

That hand was very thin, dirty, and a little cold, and Murong Jin pulled it back hard but couldn't pull it out.

Murong Shu looked impatient on the side, took out a short knife out of nowhere, gently landed the blade on the same dirty wrist, and said coldly: "Since you don't want to let go, it's better to cut off this hand directly to save trouble." ”

The owner of the hand seemed to be frightened, and immediately retracted his hand into the pile of broken mats, but it was still cut by a small cut by the sharp blade.

Murong Shu used a short knife to pick open a corner of the broken seat, and shouted, "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?!" ”

Under the mat was a small figure, curled up, with tattered clothes and dirty hair, like a little beggar.

The little beggar was very thin, the cheekbones on his face were high and protruding, and there was almost no flesh on his face, thinking that he was wrapped in a layer of yellow skin and bones, which was a little terrifying, but a pair of black eyes were extraordinarily bright, and he was looking at the two of them with some fear. It wasn't cold these days, but the little beggar had no shoes, and his feet were red and swollen and restlessly overlapped.

Murong Jin looked at the little beggar blankly, wiped his hand that had just been caught black with a handkerchief, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Murong Shu was obviously frightened, and hurriedly put the broken mat back on the little beggar's body, turned around and pulled Murong Jin to leave. Murong Jin broke free from Murong Su's hand and turned around.

Murong Shu said: "It's just a little flower, it's all over the street, why don't you bother with this idle matter." ”

Murong Jin didn't listen, and after uncovering the mat, he asked again, "What's your name?" ”

The little beggar watched him warily, and little by little he got up against the wall.

Murong Jin observed that although the clothes on the little beggar's body were tattered, he could vaguely see some delicate gold weaving dark lines, thinking that it should be the child of a big family, and the family was in the middle of the road or encountered any difficulties, so he asked, "Where is your family, but you still have a family?" ”

The little beggar shook his head.

Murong Jin didn't know what he meant "no" or "I don't know", so he said, "Then if you want to go with me, I can help you." ”

The little beggar still had doubts in his eyes, and after a long time, he spit out a word angrily, "Hungry ......" The little boy from a rich background has been out for many days, and he pulled the hem of the passerby's clothes with all his might, and then only said one word - hungry.

Murong Jin looked at Murong Shu, Murong Shu turned his head as if he didn't see it, and snorted coldly: "Don't look at me, I don't have any money." ”

Don't have any money in your pocket?

Murong Jin continued to look at Murong Shu.

Murong Shu said, "It's all over." ”

Running out?

Murong Jin continued to look at Murong Shu.

Murong Su was uncomfortable, so he simply said, "Okay, okay, here you go," and threw a brocade bag containing silver to Murong Jin, "Take it." ”

Murong Jin took the money bag and ran in the direction he was going to be, he remembered that there was a stall selling cloud cakes at the mouth of the alley, and he didn't know if it was still there.

Murong Shu looked at Murong Jin's back, and then at the little beggar with his neck stretched, thoughtful.

When Murong Jin came back, he held a wooden carved doll under his arm, held a few cloud cakes wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, returned the money bag to Murong Shu, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Wang." ”

Then he handed the cloud cake to the little beggar, "Here you go." ”

In the afternoon, the cloud cake is no longer hot, but it is still very soft, and you can smell the rice fragrance when you get closer.

The little beggar hesitated to take it, grabbed a piece of white and soft cloud cake and ate it in a big gulp, because there was no water, and it ate too quickly, so he often choked and puffed out his eyes, and only after a long time did he take the next bite.

It didn't take long for three or four palm-sized cloud cakes to enter the little beggar's stomach.

This is the best thing he has eaten these days, the little beggar pinched the oiled paper with some cloud cake residue sticking to it, and looked at Murong Jin: "Thank you." "It seems that I have eaten a little more, and I have more strength to work than I did just now.

Murong Shu said coldly on the side: "Have you eaten enough?" Leave him alone when you're full. ”

Murong Jin looked at Murong Shu with a blank eye: "Can you take him back?" Then he asked the little beggar, "Will you come with me?" ”

Murong Shu looked at the gray and dirty gadget, and was about to refuse, but heard the little beggar say, "Will you sell me?" ”

“......”

"If you don't sell me, I'll go with you."

Murong Shu understood, this child was probably abducted by a kidnapper, and it is estimated that there is still a psychological shadow that anyone will sell him now, which is quite pitiful. But seeing that this little beggar was so thin and ugly, Murong Shu still felt that it was inappropriate.

Murong Jin said: "I won't sell you, you go home with me, and I will treat you well in the future." He held out a hand in a friendly manner.

The little beggar looked at Murong Jin, and then at Murong Shu, they should all be sons of rich families, not short of money, the tall young man didn't seem to like him very much, but the little boy in front of him was indeed very kind. After careful consideration, the little beggar wiped his hand on the already unclean clothes, and when he stretched it out, he compared Murong Jin's white and delicate hand, but it was still very dirty, so he carefully retracted it again, "I followed you today, you can do whatever you want me to do, as long as you don't sell me." ”

Murong Jin withdrew his hand and smiled, "Okay." ”

So without Murong Shu's consent, Murong Jin took the little beggar and walked in the direction of King Rui's Mansion.

The little beggar stood up about the same height as Murong Jin, and it should not be many years apart, so the little beggar felt closer again.

Murong Jin said: "What is your name, how old is this year, do you remember where your home is?" ”

The little beggar said: "My name is Nan Xiao, I am ten years old this year, and I have no home. Nan Xiao said very calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Don't have a home? Murong Jin didn't want to poke other people's sore spots anymore, so he pointed at Murong Shu and said, "It's okay, you will live in this uncle's house in the future, and others will be very good." ”

Murong Shu, who was following behind the two little children, frowned, what's the matter, this ugly little ghost is going to live in his palace? But the last few words are very useful, who calls others good-

Nan Xiao glanced back at Murong Shu, who had a cold face, and wondered, "Isn't he a brother?" Why don't I stay in your house in the future? Aren't you a family? You just called him 'Uncle Wang', is he the butler of your house?" ”

Chamberlain? Who can have a handsome and suave housekeeper like him. Murong Shu glanced at Nan Xiao viciously, this ugly little thing was full of words and talked a lot.

Murong Jin patiently explained: "This brother you are talking about, he is my own uncle, but we don't live together, I live in a place with many rules and strict management, and my father's temper is not very good, I am afraid that you will be wronged, so you will temporarily live in my uncle's house, okay?" ”

Nan Xiao nodded a little disappointed, thinking that maybe Murong Jin's family rules did not allow him to take a child like him home, so he could only throw it to Murong Shu's mansion. However, Murong Su is good-looking, and Murong Jin also says that others are good, so it shouldn't be bad - children don't have much discernment, and most of them judge people by their appearance.

chatted like this, and soon arrived at King Rui's Mansion.

On this day, many large and small things were bought, which had been stacked and packed into the carriage. Murong Su thought that the carriage was too crowded, so he asked people to prepare another carriage, and asked Murong Jin to clean his hands before preparing to leave. Murong Jin remembered that Nan Xiao had not yet settled, so Murong Shu called Yun Qingyun and asked them to take Nan Xiao to take a bath and change clothes.

Yun Qing heard that there was a child in the house, and he was a little excited and said: "Master, when will you bring back a ......" The last two words have not yet come out of his mouth, Yun Qing immediately changed his tone after seeing Nan Xiao, "Where did you pick it up!" ”

Nan Xiao felt that her young self-esteem had been hurt, and looked at Yun Qing aggrievedly.

Yun Qing felt even more frightened in his heart, "Master-" Murong Shu's carriage was gone.
