The Heavenly Spirit wanted to go to these houses and inquire about the situation.

After explaining to Lord Song, Tianling took two guards to the houses that the pavilion chief of Qingshui Town said.

"Huh?" Tianling looked at the house in front of him, it was actually a small courtyard with a single door, but the gate of the courtyard was locked, blocking Tianling and the others outside.

It is really remarkable that a single woman with her children settled in a foreign country and a foreign town can still earn such a family business.

Tianling sighed in his heart, and when he saw that no one was at home, he turned around with the guards and went to the next house.

Just walked down according to the address given by the pavilion chief, and the doubts in Tianling's heart became deeper and deeper.

Almost every household in the place where these foreign women lived was a small courtyard, and the worst of them had three rooms, and there was no sign of the despair of settling in a foreign country, and what was even stranger was that each door was locked.

It's not strange that a household is so spiritual, but every household is like this, then there is a problem.

"What can you women do for a living?" Tian Ling sat on the bench of a tea shop with two guards, holding a large rough bowl and asked curiously.

"How can a woman come out to make a living?" A guard looked disgusted, "It's right for a girl to teach her husband and children at home, what is it like to come out and show up to make a living!" Little adult, do you think so? ”

"Why not?" The other guard frowned, "How little money do you spend on the woman's livelihood?" Because what has become of poverty? ”

"I'm glad to do it, it's better than not being able to spend money on it, right?" The guard who said this glanced at the heavenly spirit, intentionally or unintentionally.

······

Tianling is not really a child, how can he not understand the nonsense between the guards, and how can he not understand the banter and disrespect between the eyebrows of the two guards? Some of them were for the women, and some were for him.

The tea soup in the big coarse porcelain bowl is not cooked at all, and there are even tea foam floating on it, and there are aged tea stains at the bottom of the bowl, but Tianling feels that this bowl of tea is much cleaner than the mouths of the two guards in front of him.

Tianling didn't answer, and a wave of disgust rose in his heart for no reason.

He didn't think that the women who made a living were right, and he could understand that eunuchs were treated like monsters, but he didn't think they could be made fun of by others!

What happened to those women? What happened to the eunuchs? Messed with you?

Seeing that the two guards were talking more and more, they had no intention of stopping.

"Is that enough?" The Heavenly Spirit interrupted them directly.

"Did you two mean to tell me?" Tianling put the porcelain bowl on the table, "Do you think I can't understand these words when I'm young?" Come and have fun with me? ”

The two guards glanced at each other, and didn't even dare to say it, but their expressions were quite disdainful, he was the entourage assigned by the imperial court to Lord Song, and if it wasn't for Lord Song's order to let him follow, who would want to follow you?

"You don't need to follow here, let's go down." Tian Ling couldn't see or be upset, and what he was going to do next was not suitable for the guards to follow, so he raised his hand and sent the two guards away.

After that, Tianling sat in the tea shop for a while, and when it was late, he got up and walked towards the women's houses.

"Is anyone there?" The Celestial Spirit stood at the door of one of the doors and knocked on the door.

"Who?" A woman's voice came from inside the door, but she didn't open it immediately, but looked out cautiously through the crack in the door.

Tianling raised his head and showed a well-behaved smile, "I want to ask my eldest sister for a bowl of water." ”

With a squeak, the door opened from the inside, and the woman glanced left and right, and saw that Tianling was the only one, and said, "Which child are you?" Why are you alone here? ”

"Thirsty ······" Tianling looked at the woman pitifully with her eyes flashing, her face not red and her heart beating.

"Hey, come in." The woman led the heavenly spirit into the house, turned around and scooped a bowl of water for the heavenly spirit, "Drink." ”

Tianling took the water, drank it all, and handed the bowl to the woman, "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

The woman took the bowl and said, "Do you want more?" ”

Tian Ling shook his head, he had drunk enough at the pantry before, if it weren't for convincing this woman that he was really here to ask for water, he wouldn't even want to drink the bowl of water just now!

"What's your name? How can you be out alone at such a late hour? The woman asked.

"My name is Jiang Qingliu, and I went to Jiangshan with my uncle, passing by here, but I accidentally got separated." Tian Ling turned his eyes to look at the furnishings in the room, the woman should have just eaten, and the bowl on the table had not yet had time to be collected, Tian Ling saw that there was only a pair of chopsticks, so he asked, "Eldest sister is alone?" ”

It may be that the child looks harmless, and she heard that the heavenly spirit and the family are separated, and the woman has lost her previous defense against the heavenly spirit.

Seeing Tianling ask, he smiled and said, "Your eldest brother hasn't come back yet, and the eldest sister is not alone." ”

What the? Tianling was stunned, the eldest brother hasn't come back yet? Didn't the pavilion chief say that she was a single woman? Remarried?

"Where did the little boy come from? Where did you get separated from your uncle? The woman began to speak.

"From the capital." Tianling scratched his head in annoyance, "I don't know where I got separated from my uncle, I only know that it is on a mountain, and the servant sent me here to find my uncle and hasn't come back yet." ”

"On a mountain?" The woman's face changed, and then she asked, "How far is the mountain?" Did you meet someone when you got separated? ”

"I don't know, the servant covered my eyes when he held me, and he was already here when he let me down." Tianling shook his head and pretended to be stupid at the right time.

"Did you hear anything?" The woman asked eagerly.

"When I closed my eyes, I vaguely seemed to hear someone shouting not to run, I don't know if I heard it wrong." Tian Ling directly made up a story about the situation they encountered on the mountain, turned Lord Song into a separated uncle, and told it to his wife.

"The little boy just said that your servant went to find your uncle and hasn't come back yet?" The woman asked again.

Tianling nodded, afraid that the woman would ask again, so he showed a puzzled expression at the right time, and pulled the conversation to the woman, "It's been this hour, why hasn't the eldest brother come back yet?" ”

"He doesn't live here on weekdays." The woman was a little absent-minded.

Don't live here? Tianling looked at the small but exquisite house, could it be that this woman became someone else's outer room after coming to Qingshui Town?

"Is Big Brother in business? My uncle is in business, and he is often away from home, and my aunt always talks about it. Tianling pinched his throat and pretended to have an aunt, "I know how to do business every day, go with your business!" ”

The woman was amused by the appearance of the heavenly spirit, and then sighed, "How can your eldest brother do any business, he can only do some hard work, he used to dig in the soil, but now he ······"

What are you doing now, Tianling heard that he was in a hurry.

The woman suddenly stopped and said no more.

Instead, he looked at Tianling, "I was separated from my uncle, why didn't the little boy look scared at all?" ”

Tian Ling waved his little hand, interpreting the child's innocence and ignorance to the extreme, "What are you afraid of? It's just that I'm separated. ”

"What if he's in danger?" Woman.

When Tianling was thinking about how to answer like this, there was a knock on the door outside the woman's courtyard door, "Luo Erniang, are you at home?" ”
