After two days of sailing, the boat finally docked when the morning sun shone on both sides of the long river in Bizhou City.

went ashore and waved goodbye to the boat, Mo Xiaoxiao pestle on the steps of the ferry port did not know what to do.

What caught my eye was a pair of two scenes that were completely different from the poverty and indifference of Lianxiang Town, and Lianxiang Town was dwarfed by the city of Bizhou.

Mo Xiaoxiao, who was always alone, looked at the big city in front of him in a daze.

Rows of high walls, green bricks and green tiles, antique shops, young and vigorous downtown areas, people come and go, shouting hawkers drinking tea, and girls who buy ornaments.

Is this where the mother lives? Compared with the impoverished and extremely backward Lianxiang Town, it is really prosperous.

The pier ferry port is crowded with people, with an endless stream of ferrymen coming and going, and there are also large passenger ships. These are all new things that Mo Xiaoxiao has never seen before.

"Toot ~"

Mo Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that the "deafening" sound had just come from a large steamer.

The white steamer was luxurious and extravagant, and the small sailing ships around it were as small as dust and mustard compared to its behemoth.

The steamer was crowded with people, young ladies in foreign dresses and big hats, men in suits with large suitcases, and wealthy merchants, all of whom looked at the other side with joy and joy......

Those who have returned from wandering abroad are naturally surprised to finally see the homeland of their memory center and their hearts.

Mo Xiaoxiao was suddenly very envious, she had a return but no home.

Compared with the endless flow of people and this huge city, Mo Xiaoxiao is also small, like a grain of dust.

The big steamer docked, and the people on board happily walked off the boat and hugged and greeted their family and friends who had been waiting by the ferry for a long time.

Mo Xiaoxiao's heart felt like she had knocked over the condiment bottle, and she didn't want to stay here for a long time, thinking about going into the city to see if she could find someone to ask about her mother's residence.

Following the flow of people into the city, the city is more lively than the outside of the city, all kinds of noise and sounds are chaotic, a little less quiet, not as quiet as their own village.

"Girl, buy a few steamed buns! It's just steamed, it's fragrant and sweet, so it's enough to buy one! ”

Just as Mo Xiaoxiao was on her fugue, the voice of a fat uncle and steamed bun vendor on the side broke her thoughts.

Mo Xiaoxiao was startled, her face was half red, and she quickly left, she was running away? ……

Mo Xiaoxiao wandered the streets like a headless fly all morning, and did not dare to ask passers-by for a leader. Facing such a prosperous and huge city, Mo Xiaoxiao was very timid and afraid. It's a kind of fear of being overwhelmed by the unknown.

In fact, success is in a thought, one step away is a new turning point, it depends on whether you can take that step bravely.

In addition to overcoming the ups and downs in life, it is more about conquering yourself.

It was already noon, Mo Xiaoxiao's stomach had already begun to complain, and she lingered for a long time in front of a small restaurant before she finally mustered up the courage to walk in.

"What kind of little girl?" The boss was a bearded man with a black apron and a kitchen knife looking at the petite Mo Xiaoxiao.

can scare Mo Xiaoxiao. I wanted to escape, but I didn't dare, so I could only bite the bullet: "One, a bowl of noodles." ”

Looking at the boss's meaty face, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say a word, and sat in a corner casually.

The hotel is very large, there are several tables, and there are more guests inside.

The excitement of the world has nothing to do with Mo Xiaoxiao.

Mo Xiaoxiao sat in a corner by the window, where you can better see the traffic outside the window, people come and go, and everywhere is not bustling. is incompatible with Mo Xiaoxiao, who is standing alone.

"What are Yu Wen's plans to come back from studying abroad this time, do you want to help Master He with some family chores or go to be a gentleman?"

"It's not decided yet, and I have to wait until the things for the family are done before I make plans."

Next door, an old man in his fifties and sixties with a beard was eating with a young man in his early twenties, obviously not father and son, and the man talked very well and had a good temperament.

This old man only looked flattering, but this man, who was full of talent, wore a Mao suit, a black hat, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked like a polite and gentle young master.

Mo Xiaoxiao's position was just right to see his entire side face. The face is like a knife with sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the eyes are very sharp, but they look cold and cold, and they don't dare to approach.

"Your noodles are ready, a total of five dollars."

At this end, a small student looks much kinder than the boss.

"Okay, thank you."

Mo Xiaoxiao took the hot noodles, watched this little student not move, and waited on the side, only then did he react.

"It's a total of three cents and five, right, good, good."

As she spoke, she reached into the pocket of her clothes, but she couldn't find them, and she remembered putting them in her clothes, but she couldn't find them.

A terrible thought appeared in Mo Xiaoxiao's mind. No, how can you be so unlucky, don't pickpockets take the opportunity to touch it when you were at the dock just now...... Soon Mo Xiaoxiao's thoughts were confirmed, and the pocket of her clothes was cut with a knife.

What to do, what to do, it seems that you are going to be beaten alive and blown out...... No matter what, eat enough first.

"That, little brother, can I pay after I'm done?"

"Don't you have any money? I dare to come here to eat if I have no money, I want to eat overlord meals, every day there are a few people like you who eat and drink nonsense and have no money, come here. ”

This little brother's previous diligence suddenly turned into a hideous devil, and he looked like he was arrogant and arrogant, and he was about to call someone to beat him.

"I'm sorry, I'm really hungry and haven't eaten for days, I'm rich and picked up by pickpockets. Please, let it go to me! ”

Several strong men stepped forward to attack Mo Xiaoxiao, but Mo Xiaoxiao closed his eyes tightly and accepted this bloody storm.

"Stop. In broad daylight, aren't you ashamed of a few big men bullying a powerless girl? ”

The young man at the next table grabbed the wrist of the man who was about to start, and twisted the man to scream.

"Don't be nosy, you kid, this girl eats the overlord's meal, we just do things according to the rules, what's your business."

At this time, the old man behind the young man stood up and called the boss by his name, which was also unceremoniously.

"Tu Lao Er, is this the person under you, even the famous eldest son of the He family in Bizhou City dares to offend, aren't you afraid that Master He will know that you won't be able to stay here and close the door?"

The bearded boss hurriedly came to him and made a look, and a few big men let go.

"Alas, it turned out to be Mr. He, the small shop is far away, and he doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, if he offends, forgive him."

The bearded man also nodded at this time, like a cat.

All the wicked people who are fake tigers are just paper tigers, and they can only be powerful in front of those who are weaker than him, and they are also grandsons in others.

The young man glanced at a few people, and he didn't bother to disdain a few people, "Isn't it just a few dollars, it's counted in my account." ”

Mo Xiaoxiao opened his eyes in horror, and looked at the young man in front of him like a golden light, he was like the sun......

"Get up, it's all right."

The young man said, his face did not change, but he was much gentler, and he stretched out his hand to signal Mo Xiaoxiao to pull her up.

Mo Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of apprehension and fear, and she didn't dare to say anything or respond to him.

When the young man saw her flattered and frightened, he directly helped her up.

"Let's eat together, and run out secretly with your family, right? Where to stay? I'll send you back when you're done. ”

The boy helped her to his seat and asked softly. A table of delicacies, Mo Xiaoxiao swallowed his saliva when he saw it. Listening to his words, Mo Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook his head.

Go home? Which home, Lianxiang Town? No, there is no home.

"No, I'm a refugee, I don't have any relatives, I'm here to find my mother, but she's married, and I don't know where she lives."

A hint of pity flashed in the boy's eyes.

"So you don't know where she is and where she has to stay?"

Mo Xiaoxiao nodded, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Otherwise, if you don't mind, you can go back with me first, it's better to have a place to settle temporarily than to live on the streets, and how can you find this Bizhou City so big, but I can also help you inquire about the news and help you find your mother as soon as possible."

The old man on the side was full of worry, so he stopped him.

"Young Master, this ......"

He stretched out his hand and stopped the old man's words: "I have my own measure, don't care about me, I will naturally know what to say when I go back." ”

Mo Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Suddenly, it slowly turned to loss.

"I met you Pingshui, how can I trouble you, what you helped me today, I will repay you in the future, really."

Seeing that the girl in front of him had nothing and swore that she would repay herself, the young man couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Repay me? What do you want to repay me for the way you look like this? So come back with me and find your mother to talk about repayment. Don't worry, I won't let you eat and drink for nothing, you can go and do something for me. ”

Mo Xiaoxiao was helpless and desperate, so he could only do this.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Mo Xiaoxiao?"

"It's good if you call me He Yuwen."

After finishing the meal, Mo Xiaoxiao followed behind this young man who was sometimes as cold as ice and snow and sometimes as sunny as sun.

The setting sun burns out red holes in the sky, reflecting the city that is still bustling with traffic.
