Chapter 10: The Wind and Dew Sink (4)

When he woke up again, Xia Mu found himself lying in a dilapidated temple, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the muddy ceiling, and when he turned his head, he saw several clay stone statues of the Dharma King, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted again.

"Sister, you're awake." Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in my ears, and when I turned my head, I saw a little girl of five or six years old kneeling beside her. Although she was tattered and unkempt, she could still vaguely see that she was a beautiful little girl.

“…… Where am I? As soon as Xia Mu spoke, he realized that his voice was very hoarse.

"This is the Temple of the Heavenly King, but no one has come to worship anymore, so it is a deserted temple, and it is also our current home. Last night, my brother carried you back, and he said he picked you up on the way back. The little girl explained with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, yes, your brother picked me up." Xia Mu tapped his head, and his thoughts began to return. The picture of how he escaped from the moon buds and clouds was also clear, and it seemed that he still deserved to die.

"Sister, didn't you faint on the road hungry until you had to eat? I still have half a steamed bun here, you can eat some first, and then drink some water. The little girl thoughtfully took out half of the steamed buns that were already cold and hard from the bag, and poured half a bowl of cold water for Xia Mu.

"Uh......" Xia Mo was embarrassed, she probably fainted because she was hungry and had low blood sugar, but she didn't want to eat, did she look like a beggar? Could it be that your life has become like this?

But when I looked down, it seemed that this was the case, although the blood stains on my body had been washed away by the heavy rain yesterday, but now I was dirty and smelly, and I couldn't even see the original color of my clothes, and there were also those that were accidentally hung and broken when fleeing all the way. Alas! Indeed, it is no different from a beggar.

But the little girl in front of her is obviously a lonely little beggar, even if she gives her only bite to eat, she can't get out of her mouth. I had to pour a sip of cold water first and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rang out angrily, and Xia Mu couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Fortunately, the little beggar should often face the matter of being hungry, and he didn't care, but he just pushed the steamed bun back to Xia Mu's hand and said in a milky voice: "Sister, you can eat some." ”

“…… Well, we're one and a half. After that, Xia Mu separated the half of the steamed bun in his hand in half, and the two of them had a small piece for each person, which had been frozen into a lump, and he almost didn't knock his teeth down, so he had to eat it in small bites.

"What's your name?" Xia Mu asked, such a cute child, he didn't know himself, but he gave himself his only food, sure enough, kindness and poverty have nothing to do with half a dime.

"My name is Raindrop." The cutie replied.

"Raindrops? Oh, what a cute name. A little raindrop? Natsumu smiled.

"Well, what's my sister's name?" Xiao Yudian also asked with a smile.

"My name is Xia Mu, and I was born in the summer night." Xia Mu replied, she was indeed made by Tang Yi's pervert in Xia Mu, and when she thought of him, she couldn't bear to be disgusted.

"I'll call you Sister Mumu from now on." Xiao Yudian stuffed the last bit of steamed bun into her mouth, her expression quite satisfied.

"Okay. By the way, how old are you? Why is it here alone, your father? ”

"I'm eight years old. My mother and my brothers and sisters went out to ask for food, and I was supposed to go out with my brothers and sisters, but you were still asleep at that time, and my mother said that I would stay and take care of you, and my father died three months ago. In the end, Xiaoyudian's eyes were red, after all, he was still a child.

"Huh? I'm sorry, I don't know, come, sister hug. Xia Mu hurriedly took Xiaoyudi into his arms and coaxed softly, this child is so light, she doesn't say that she is eight years old, it will make people think that she is only five or six years old, it should be long-term malnutrition, and her development can't keep up.

After a while, all the family members mentioned by Xiaoyudian returned to the broken temple, and when they saw that Xia Curtain finally woke up, they all showed their most sincere smiles.

"How's the girl feeling better?" A woman with a pregnant belly asked.

"Mother, she is the sister of the curtain." Xiaoyudian said happily.

"Thank you for taking me in last night."

"Where, it was Xiaofeng who picked it up. Oh, that's him. Following her hand, Xia Mu saw a lame boy with messy hair, tattered clothes, and dirty facial features that couldn't be seen. Judging from his figure, he should be less than twenty, and when he saw that he was looking at him, he turned his head in embarrassment.

"Thank you, Little Wind." Natsumu quipped sincerely.

"I just happened to pass by, saw you lying in the rain, and thought you were dead, but when I got closer, I found that you were still alive, so I took you back." Xiaofeng explained.

"Well, if you don't bring me back, I'm probably going to die. Thank you so much. Xia Mu sincerely thanked him again, and Xiaofeng turned his head awkwardly.

"Your name is Sister Mumu? I'm a soup spoon. A little boy jumped up.

"Sister, my name is Xiaoju." A little girl who was not much bigger than a small raindrop said shyly.

"Your name is Mumu? I'm the mother of the raindrops, it's good if you call me Qiusui, I'm older than you, you can call me Sister Suizi. Akiho smiled heartily.

Xia Mu looked at this group of people, and suddenly burst into tears. Obviously, they are so poor that they can only live in this dilapidated temple, all of them are unclothed, and they have no meals, but they can still be so happy, especially willing to treat themselves unreservedly, as if the weather is not so cold. This is the first time since she came to this world that she felt from a few strangers that there is still warmth and human affection in this world.

This night, Xia Mu took a few people to ask for a few foods, but made a few delicacies like magic. Then, in the long night, several people gathered around a bonfire to listen to the summer curtain tell stories and sing, and several children praised her to the sky, as if she was the fairy sister sent by the gods in the sky, and even the little wind looked at herself and blushed. This kind of comfort and comfort can be said to be a long time for Xia Mu, since she came to the moon buds and clouds, she has been careful and trembling every day, and now she is affirmed and needed, so she finally gives birth to a kind of vitality and self-confidence.

The next day, Xia Mu also joined the camp of begging for life, and he couldn't sit in the broken temple every day and wait for these pregnant women and the weak, as well as Xiao Feng's half-crippled to support himself. They saved their lives, and the summer curtain will have to pay for it.

But she doesn't want to beg on the street, she is also a cultural person, and she has skills, so she won't be so miserable that she needs to eat. In fact, she had already thought of many ways to make a living last night, and she just wanted to try it today.

Early in the morning, Xia Mu came to an inn that looked quite luxurious from the outside, and she decided to start working here first.

"Go, go, go! How can anyone come early in the morning to ask for food? The doorman outside the inn pushed.

It's really a dog's eye looking down on people! But it can't be helped, who has made himself so poor that he can't even afford a piece of clothing, and now he is indeed dirty, smelly and ugly.

All right! Not to mention looking for a job, I can't even get through the door.

"Curtain, we...... Let's change places. Go to the vendors or order something. Qiu Sui walked over with a big belly and pulled Xia Mu aside.

If it weren't for the fact that Qiu Sui still had a baby in her belly, Xia Mu would definitely have to have a good theory with that little er. As a last resort, several people retreated to the corner.

"This can't be done, the Buddha depends on gold, and people have to rely on clothes. By the way, do you know where there is a pawnshop around here? Xia Mu asked, she fled in too much hurry and didn't bring anything, including Chang'an, but even if she brought it out, she didn't dare to sell it.

Touching around, only on her wrist, there was a string of misty bracelets that Situ Lan gave her at that time. I don't know if this is worth a lot of money, but it's a magic weapon between the moon buds and clouds, so it should still be okay to change to an ordinary and clean outfit more or less.

Following Xiaofeng's guidance, Xia Mu came to a pawnshop, handed the string of bracelets at the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, how much can you be?" ”

The old man had seen a few Hanako enter the door early in the morning and was still upset, but he didn't expect this girl to throw out a string of misty bracelets as soon as she came up, and her eyes were wide open, and she looked at the gray-faced summer curtain several times.

"Oh! Girl, please sit down, little two, watch tea. The shopkeeper, who had been sitting at the counter, suddenly ran out of it.

This made Xia Mu a few people flattered, and they were a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.

"If you don't sit, shopkeeper, please take a look, how much is this worth? After the money, I'm ready to go to work. Xia Mu excused.

"Hey, girl, do you know what this is?" The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly.

"Nonsense, my stuff I don't know what it is? This is a bracelet made of the maze tree, which can clear the mind and ward off evil spirits. Xia Mu remembered that Situ Lan should have said this at that time.

"And where did you get this object?"

"What do you mean?"

"No, girl, when we collect things, we don't have to ask where we came from, the rules are good." The shopkeeper smiled and handed over a cup of tea, Xiao Yudian and Xiao Ju touched the pastries on the table with their black hands, but he didn't see it.

“…… If something is given by a friend, if it is not for something today, it will not be taken out. By the way, you can live it, right? In a few days, I will surely redeem it. Xia Mu hesitated for a moment and replied.

"That's nature. According to the girl's wishes. ”

Xia Mu didn't expect that the bracelet that Situ Lan 'lent' to him was so valuable, let alone buy clothes, even if he bought that inn, it would be more than enough. Suddenly, he missed Situ Lan even more, but he immediately shook his head to stifle this thought in time.

Since then, it can only be strangers to that man. No matter how much you like it, you don't want to die at his hands. If you really can't return to your own world, then you want to live here well, after all, why should people come to this world if they don't want to live.

The money that came was in her own hands, and she was confident that she could earn more back, and when the time came, she would redeem the bracelet back, and find a way to ask someone to return it to him in the clouds. Although Xia Mu has not had an easy time since he was a child, he will not have the intention of taking advantage of others, especially such a valuable bargain.

It's just that when Xia Mu and the others just left the pawnshop, the shopkeeper suddenly changed his face, picked up the bracelet again with a serious face, and looked at it carefully, beckoned the guy over and said, "You go to the moon buds and clouds, and report this matter there." Inquire who the woman is? There is such a bracelet. ”

"Yes."
