Du Changfeng watched Shi Yingying go quickly, and was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, daring to feel ashamed of his fierce little daughter-in-law.

He strode up and grabbed Shi Yingying's hand, where to run?

Shi Yingying held back for a long time, and smiled, General Du, you have changed.

Where have I changed?

It became oily and slippery.

What else?

Shi Yingying looked at him carefully, and suddenly sighed with emotion, I obviously liked the beautiful little brother back then, but I didn't expect to marry you in the end.

What's so good about a beautiful little brother? Du Changfeng glanced at her, can he hurt you as firmly as I do?

Shi Yingying understood the meaning of his words, and blushed again, it was strong enough, and she could break her waist when she was crazy.

The husband and wife are talking, you hit me, I hit you, I can see that Jin Chu'er and Ah Xia in the back cover their mouths and snicker, it's really good, and it seems like when they returned to the northwest, Mrs. and the general were fighting all day long, sometimes Hou fought and fought, and entered the room after fighting, and when he came out again, the general went to the front hall with his head held high, and Mrs. went to the backyard with a red face and a word.

Du Changfeng is quite elegant today, seeing the handkerchief with exquisite embroidery, buying one for Shi Yingying, seeing the beautiful silver hairpin, also buying one for Shi Yingying, buying a few frozen persimmons, and buying a few pieces of steaming hair cakes. The four of them just walked all the way, shopping all the way, buying all the way, and eating all the way to the west of the city.

Most of the people living in the west of the city are poor, and most of them are in miscellaneous courtyards, but there are also fireworks and willow alleys, and there are casinos, and beggars prefer to gather here, in groups of three or five, sleeping in the open air in summer, and building a shed in winter, and several people are crowded together to keep warm.

Shi Yingying looked at the ragged little beggar on the side of the road, she was really pitiful, and asked Ah Xia to give him a few big sons, but as soon as she gave it to him, she was snatched away by the big beggar, Ah Xia wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Du Changfeng, don't chase it.

He broke a small piece of the hair cake in his hand and gave it to the little beggar: Eat it.

The little beggar stretched out his dirty little hand and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, he was afraid that he would be snatched away by the big beggar again.

Du Changfeng stood there, waiting for him to swallow it, and then broke a piece for him, but the little beggar took it and didn't eat it, Shi Yingying said, eat it quickly, be careful and be robbed again.

The little beggar turned his head to look at the shed under the tree, which I left for my sister to eat.

Shi Yingying said: Ask your sister to come out to eat.

She, she's cold.

Shi Yingying walked over to see, the low shed was very dark, she looked for a long time before she saw a pair of black eyes, she was actually a good-looking little girl, but her clothes were thin, and she was tied with a lot of yellow banana leaves with a straw rope, when the clothes were worn, Shi Yingying couldn't help but feel sad, this girl was not a few years older than her family Pengpeng, but it was so miserable, she took off the cloak and handed it to the little girl, you wear it, I will let someone send you cotton clothes tomorrow.

The little girl shook her hand and took the cloak, immediately wrapped it around her body, and kowtowed to her, thank you, madam, thank you, madam.

Shi Yingying asked, what about your father?

My mother is dead, but my father is gone.

Shi Yingying: She asked Jin Chu'er to leave all the food they bought on the road to the sister and brother, and she couldn't help with anything else, so she could only do her best.

Before leaving, Jin Chu'er said, isn't Changlong Rice Shop making porridge, why don't you go to eat?

The little girl said, there are many people now, there is a queue, and we will go later.

After seeing this pair of poor sisters and brothers, Shi Yingying felt a little sad in her heart, and she couldn't lift her spirits, Du Changfeng comforted her: Don't think about it so much, today's Dongyue is also considered a country and a people's peace, but there are always sores under the prosperity, which is inevitable.

After walking for a while, I saw a steaming porridge stall in the distance, two large iron pots on a two-and-a-half-person high stove, the spatula stirred in the pot, and the smell of rice wafted in the air.

There is a long queue in front of the porridge stall, not all beggars, but more people living nearby, who are not full on weekdays, and it is good to drink more bowls of hot porridge.

Shi Yingying looked carefully, and didn't see Boss Zhou of Changlong Rice Shop, nor did she see the man who claimed to be the owner of Jinting Pavilion that day. There is a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who looks like a steward, dressed richly, but looks like a sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, a little treacherous, of course, you can't just look at people's faces, after all, people are doing good.

There were four or five other men, two in charge, and the others maintained order, all smiling and very kind.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Shi Yingying and Du Changfeng did not stop, but slowly passed in front of the stall, detoured to another road and went back.

After waiting, Shi Yingying asked Du Changfeng, what do you think?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

I didn't see anything wrong either. Shi Yingying asked Jin Chu'er and Ah Xia again, what do you think?

Jin Chu'er said, it seems that we suspect that we are wrong, and they are making porridge for the people, which is a great act of kindness.

But Ah Xia said, I heard that there is another day tomorrow, so let's take a look.

Back at home, Shi Yingying took out some of her old clothes, and asked Liu's mother to change Du Changfeng's cotton robe to a smaller size overnight, put it on with a wrapper, and prepare to send it to the pair of sisters and brothers tomorrow.

On the second day, she prepared some white-flour steamed buns and nodded, and also put them on the furoshiki, and sent Jin Chu'er and Ah Xia to the pair of siblings.

But when Jin Chu'er and Ah Xia came back, they said that the low shack was still there, but the sister and brother were gone.

What does it mean to be gone? Shi Yingying is strange, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, where else can they go, could it be that which relative took them home for the New Year?

Jin Chu'er shook her head, it's unlikely, I inquired with the people around me, and said that their sister and brother have been there for more than half a year, and no one has ever come to see them, according to them, their father and mother are not locals, and they don't have any relatives, otherwise how can they be beggars there?

Shi Yingying was a little worried, where can two and a half children go during the New Year?

Asha said, Madam, they didn't see each other today, and the people around them said that they didn't come back last night.

Where did you go if you didn't come back?

I'm going to beg for porridge.

Shi Yingying: The little girl said yesterday that when there were fewer people, they would go to beg for porridge, and when there were fewer people, it would probably be dark, and they went to the porridge stall at that time, and then they didn't go back?

Asha nodded, I guess so.

Shi Yingying groaned for a while, and told Jin Chu'er to call the general quickly.

Du Changfeng came over and heard this, frowned, and paced in circles in the room with his hands in his hands.

Shi Yingying looked at him nervously, do you think the disappearance of the sister and brother will be related to Changlong Rice Hang?

Du Changfeng stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed, and went to see it in a few days, maybe they just went to another place for a few days and came back. He just said this to comfort Shi Yingying, hoping that she would be relieved for the New Year, as for the truth, according to his hunch, it was not very good.
