Chapter 53: The Deceased
There was a rumbling sound, Xiao Xuanyu fell straight to the side of the road, the white bun in his hand rolled on the road, and seven or eight beggars immediately rushed up.
What a fool, he doesn't eat this white bun when he faints from hunger.
Shen Kaiji, who had seen enough of the excitement, was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the red rope exposed at Xiao Xuanyu's neck, and there were two round jade beads at the interface on it.
This is no ordinary beggar.
Shen Kaiji inexplicably remembered the days when he had just become a prisoner from your noble son.
At that time, he knew for the first time that ordinary cloth clothes were hard in winter, and the hard people were obviously wearing clothes, but they couldn't stop the cold around them.
He was the only survivor of that avalanche and destined him to go through no less ordeal than death.
Begging also has a territory, this is the first rule that Shen Kaiji learned.
Shen Kaiji, who was already tired and hungry, walked in an unknown county, hesitated for a long time, and finally timidly said the first word in his life.
"Ask the kind old man to give me something to eat." Shen Kaiji knelt down in the secluded path and waited for a long time, and finally met the first target.
His voice was very quiet, but the other party still threw down a few copper coins.
At that moment, the happiness in Shen Kaiji's heart overcame the humiliation. It was from that moment that the teenagers began to change.
Three or four beggars taller than him appeared, and they cursed and threatened him in the most vulgar language, and their tones were full of reason, as if those copper plates were Shen Kaiji's debt to them.
He didn't know the rules, and he begged on other people's territory.
Shen Kaiji held the four or five copper plates and looked up at them.
Unable to hand over three words to support him, the half-grown boy took the lead and punched the leader.
In that fight, he lost badly, and the corner of his forehead was smashed by a stone, and a stream of heat burst out, which blurred his eyes.
He fell limply in the snow, if he hadn't met Uncle Ming, he would have frozen to death there.
If I hadn't saved him, he might have died here with hunger and fainting.
The ghost sent the gods, and Shen Kaiji took Xiao Xuanyu back to the small courtyard where Bai Xia lived.
"Are your men hurt?" Bai Xia was drying his clothes in the courtyard at this time, and when he saw Shen Kaiji carrying the man with considerable difficulty, he was ready to come up and take a hand.
"Don't worry about it, you're inconvenient after all." Shen Kaiji hurriedly waved his hand and asked him to walk away.
Bai Xia wiped his hands and stepped forward to support half of Xiao Xuanyu's body.
"What's inconvenient? I wasn't going to get married. ”
The two worked together, and Kankan got people into the east wing, which was Shen Kaiji's room.
"You take Bao'er with peace of mind at home, I'll change my clothes and ask a doctor to take a look at him for him."
Shen Kaiji, who had changed his clothes, no longer looked like a beggar, a little like an ordinary small trader, and a little like a poor scholar who was rushing to take the exam.
The doctor was young and strong, and his feet were fast, and after a while, the two of them rushed to the small courtyard.
"It's not a big deal, overworked, and I've been hungry for a long time, just take a few pairs of medicine to recuperate."
Shen Kaiji followed the doctor to grab the medicine, while Bai Xia stayed, observing the man lying down.
There are burns on the face, although it has been reduced a lot, the tall skeleton is still there, especially the exposed longevity lock, which is the best Fenglanshan white jade.
This man's identity must not be simple, maybe he is the same as the Shen family's sisters and brothers, born in an official family who was innocently implicated by the current situation.
Bai Xia hesitated for a while, but still made a basin of hot water and simply scrubbed the dirt on his face.
The baby's loud cry came, "White girl, the child has woken up from a nap." Qi Feiwen walked into the east wing with the meaty boy in his arms.
The hideous face of the man on the bed stunned him, but when he looked closely, he found a few hints of familiarity. Qi Feiwen walked forward and gently turned the man's head with his hand, and sure enough, it was him, Xiao Baihu.
Qi Feiwen, who was stunned for a while, suddenly remembered the carrier pigeon in the courtyard. Oops! I just heard the child crying, and there are several youngsters in training in the backyard that are not in the cage.
Qi Feiwen quickly left the house and went straight to the backyard.
The originally sturdy man looked a little thin at this time. In the middle of the moon, Xiao Xuanyu woke up.
He looked at this strange place and smelled a faint smell of medicine, it seemed that he had met a kind person.
He got up in his cloth shoes and picked up a pen and paper in the room. Under the moonlight, Xiao Xuanyu's only smooth lower left side face was exceptionally white.
The man, who was still a little weak, walked deep and shallow, and slowly disappeared into the night.
-------------------------------------
At the half-end of July, the door of ghosts is wide open. Qian Tianhe, who was busy fighting with the Nanwei army in Mengxi County, still made Krathong with his own hands on this day according to the customs of Xuanzhou.
On the Pudu flag on the Krathong is the word Tianhe, which is in the custom of Xuanzhou, in order to tell the soul of the dead and pay tribute to the name of the person.
Qian Tianhe watched the small boat, gradually moving away on the water, and the horn of the enemy's siege suddenly sounded.
In the west city of Liyang, two pure white and non-variegated pigeons flew straight to the direction of Jinzhou.
This pigeon, which has been carefully domesticated since it came out of the shell, sent the news to Jinzhou for the first time today.
Qinglan stood in the Yutang courtyard, practicing martial arts carefully, she tried her best to imitate Wan Jinyue's actions, and smiled.
Nianxia Liquor Store now has five branches, except for one with a slight loss, the other four are operating normally. Qinglan, who received the letter a few days ago, was practicing martial arts while waiting, the white dove who delivered the letter.
The rainy season in Jinzhou has not yet passed, and the sky is a little dark and blue. Seeing that it was about to rain, Qinglan put away her short sword and stood under the corridor, staring at the sky.
A round white pigeon gradually entered her sight, this Shen Kaiji is really willing to spend his blood, this carrier pigeon is really fat.
On the pigeon's foot ring, there is a small note, with only eight words on it: Xiao Xuanyu is alive, King Cheng marries Jiang.
It's not a private thing. On the first test flight, the carrier pigeon performed well, although it lost one, it was also within the normal loss range.
Qinglan went out with Wan Jinyue's face and then went out, and Hongli accompanied her with rain gear, and it was time to see Shu Bai again. Shu Bai was dressed in a hunter's shirt, standing in the west market of Jinzhou City, selling the rough animal skin.
Qinglan, who was dressed in goose yellow clothes, walked straight to Shu Bai with a red bird.
"The old rules, the amount of a month, the latest news." Shu Bai handed the round porcelain vase out under the cover of animal skins, and the red oriole dressed as a maid on the side hurriedly put it away.
"The Chongzhou branch has been opened, and Xiao is still alive." Shu Bai was stunned when he heard this, why didn't this person return to the barracks alive, and gave his title to his second brother of Na Laosh for nothing.
"Girl, my skin is very good, and it is also hot this day, if I am not in a hurry to use the money, this skin will not be able to be bought at this price in October."
"Your skin is very rough, you can't make winter clothes, you can only make shoes, and the price can't be higher."
Hongli and Shu Bai sang and talked about the price in harmony, and the sky also turned from blue to black, but the rain was delayed.
The two women, one yellow and one green, finally returned home with two skins before the heavy rain fell.
