197 Picked up a beggar
Ling Xiaoning walked to the gate, tentatively walked a few steps outside and walked back, going back and forth twice without anyone stopping him.
When I returned to the courtyard, I learned the reason from the mouthful of the housekeeper.
There has been some turmoil on the border between the two countries recently, and there may be a war at any time.
An Rong, as the son of the previous general, is naturally duty-bound, and in order to prevent accidents, he took all the people back to the general's mansion to train the soldiers.
I hope that when he can be used, he will be able to show the generals the style of the general, so that everyone can see that he did not rely on his father's reputation to sit in the position of a general, and he has the real strength to be a general.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a little surprised, feeling that he was getting stranger and stranger.
I used to think that he was stingy, selfish and greedy, a bastard who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, and he didn't have any merit from top to bottom.
Now it seems that he is not so ruthless and unrighteous, at least he helped two people at a critical time.
When the country encountered difficulties, he put his mind on the most important place and took the soldiers back to train.
It's just that I don't know if he really went to the battlefield, whether he killed the enemy and made meritorious service or was vulnerable.
Ling Xiaoning has known him for so long, and has received his last help, even if he still has some feelings, he naturally hopes that he can be as invincible as his father was back then, and then make military exploits.
Referring to the current turbulent situation in the country, I am afraid that such a thing has really happened, and there is not much energy to care about the border issue.
Although Ling Xiaoning was completely free, just in case, he still dared to go out after dressing up, and secretly returned to the courtyard where he lived before and took some valuable things.
After she got her things, she returned to Anrong and arranged to live in another courtyard.
It's a remote place, so it's relatively safe.
Although An Rong left here, he had lived here for a while, and many people knew that this courtyard was his now, and no one would dare to search the courtyard at will.
Ling Xiaoning was covered with a cloth on his head, bent down slightly, and walked on the street.
She wanted to buy some good food and other things to get back to the yard.
When passing by an alley, I unexpectedly found a group of people gathered around and bullying a teenager with unkempt hair and dirty body.
"Who told you to beg here to get away, this is our territory!"
"Hurry up, if you don't get out, don't blame us!"
The beggar, with his hair disheveled, bowed his head deeply, but his body trembled a few times as these people threw things, and he did not intend to resist.
When Ling Xiaoning saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of himself, when he just crossed over here, he was also a beggar.
The life of a beggar is so hard that he doesn't know where his next meal will be or when it will be his head every day.
The strange life is already very difficult, and these beggars also gang up to bully newcomers, which is really unreasonable.
Ling Xiaoning strode over, staring angrily at a few beggars who were bullying.
"I said, what are you doing here, beggars, why bother beggars?"
"You old woman, don't meddle in your affairs!"
"Who do you say ......?"
Ling Xiaoning hesitated, lowered his head and grabbed one of the beggar's arms on the ground.
"Come with me, I'll treat you to something to eat in a moment! There are already a lot of beggars here, and you can't ask for any money here, so when you're full, you can beg for it somewhere else. ”
The beggar sat on the ground and did not want to leave at all.
Ling Xiaoning was so good that he dragged the beggar up from the ground and walked outside.
"I bought some preserves and pastries here, what do you like to eat?" If you don't like it, buy something else for you! Or the two of us can find a small restaurant to eat and have a bite to eat. ”
The beggar really took off his hand at once and took a step back.
"I'm not a beggar!"
"You're not a beggar, are you...... What kind of rich son in distress, or is there another struggle? ”
The beggar bowed his head slightly, unwilling to answer the question.
"Forget it, you must have been without a place to live for many days, and you can't take a bath or eat enough...... I'd better take you to grab a bite to eat first. ”
The beggar hesitated and nodded. "What's your name? I borrowed it from you. ”
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile.
"I can't tell you my real name, just call me Sister Xiao Ning. What do you call it? ”
"Sue."
"Sue what? Oh...... I see, you don't want to tell me your full name, do you? Then I'll call you Xiao Su. ”
The two of them then went to the restaurant, because Xiao Su was too much like a beggar, and the boss was not allowed to eat in the store.
Ling Xiaoning was still a little dangerous, and he couldn't attract too much attention, so he asked the boss to make a roast chicken and the two of them went to eat and chat under the bridge.
Her clothes are still clean, and she doesn't care so much, she just sits on the ground and divides the roast chicken.
"I'll be honest with you, I'm actually a wanted criminal. But those people framed me, and I didn't do anything bad...... That's why I often go out in disguise so that I don't get recognized by those people. ”
"Oh......"
"And what is your identity? You say you're not a beggar. ”
Xiao Su picked up a chicken leg and quickly gnawed it, it seemed that there were no pairs, and he could eat well.
"Don't worry, I'll only eat one chicken wing, and the rest is all yours. If you don't have enough chicken, I've bought a lot of snacks and other things for you to eat! You wouldn't have thought that I used to be a beggar for about a while like you......"
"When I was shopping, I heard that there was a prince in a neighboring country who had an accident and disappeared...... You can't be that prince, right? Haha, I'm kidding you, why are you so untalkative, is there a psychological shadow? ”
"It's you talking too much."
Xiao Su ate most of the chicken, and it was estimated that he was not so hungry, so he replied lightly.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a moment of embarrassment, and reached out to touch his face.
"Perhaps, it's mainly because I can't communicate with other people everywhere these days, and I have to hide my identity all the time, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I finally met someone like you who could speak freely, and I talked a lot. ”
Xiao Su may have been a little tired of eating roast chicken, so he opened the bag again and ate a piece of pastry.
"Hehe, I don't have anything else, I still have some silver taels and food on my body, you can eat as much as you want, I'll give you some silver taels, you go buy a clean dress to change into." I don't think you like to be called a beggar, so just wash it so that others won't misunderstand you. ”
