The price of Chongyang is not low, a white jade Buddha statue costs five hundred taels, Jiao Niang was a little distressed when she paid the money, but it was only for a moment, because she knew that when Yingtho investigated this Zhang Yan, the white jade Buddha statue would naturally return to her hands at that time.

"Boss, that's what I want. Jiao Niang selected and paid the money, and the boss saw that Jiao Niang was so generous, and Le's eyes narrowed into a slit.

I found a delicate box to put the Buddha statue on, and Jiao Niang looked at the box, feeling like buying and returning the pearls.

There were not many people on the street, scattered and scattered, but there were many beggars, squatting by the wall one by one, unkempt, their faces dirty, only a pair of staring eyes black and white.

Among them was a mother and son, the child was only two or three years old, probably because he was hungry, and he was crying in his mother's arms. His mother couldn't soothe and scare him, so she could only hug him and cry with him.

Chu Cicada looked sad, "Master, they are so pitiful." ”

Jiao Niang sighed helplessly when she spoke, "For the officials are not benevolent, only the people suffer." ”

She instructed Chu Cicada, "How much money do you have with you, go buy some steamed bread and send it to them." ”

When the first cicada was bought, Jiao Niang took out two, and the rest of the first cicadas were sent to other beggars, and when those beggars saw that they had something to eat, they all rushed up, and the dry food was gone in an instant.

Jiao Niang walked straight to the mother and son and handed the steamed bun to the woman.

The white-flour steamed buns are bigger than a human fist, hot, and smell of wheat.

The woman looked up slowly, her eyes as hopeless as those of a dead fish.

She didn't snatch it like others, and when Jiao Niang saw that she didn't take it, she handed it over again, "Eat." ”

The woman looked at the girl, and then took it back, and the child had something to fill her stomach, and then gradually stopped crying.

His eyes were full of tears, and there were obviously two marks of crying under his eyes, and his small hands were black, which had a strong contrast with the big white steamed buns.

He looked at Jiao Niang timidly, and bit the steamed bun impatiently, he was really hungry.

Jiao Niang couldn't help but feel pity, Brother An was not much older than this child, she squatted down and touched the child's face, the child's face was a little hot, and it seemed that he was sick.

Because he has no money, he is only wearing a piece of clothing with loopholes everywhere, although the weather in Chongyang is warm, but it will still be cold when he wears this, and it rained yesterday, and the warm weather has fallen again.

Jiao Niang took out the only broken silver left on her body, "Hurry up and take the child to find a Langzhong to have a look, don't delay the condition." ”

The woman didn't answer, there was no sparkle in her eyes, and she shook her head at Jiao Niang.

Chu Cicada was surprised, and even more angry, and said angrily: "Why are you like this, what is the child's illness, our master gave you money to go to the doctor, why don't you move?

There was no wave on the woman's face, and her voice was soft, "I know that the two masters are good people, but they can be cured this time, where will they be next time?"

Speaking of this, her face finally changed slightly, and she couldn't bear it, "It's better to fend for yourself like this, die early and reincarnate early, and save yourself from suffering with me." ”

She said ruthlessly, but her voice trembled, as if she was gritting her teeth.

After that, the woman stroked the child's head, but after all, she couldn't help it, a tear flowed out of her eye socket, she wiped it hard, and wiped it clean.

Chu Cicada couldn't get used to seeing her irresponsible for the child, and wanted to talk about her again, Jiao Niang raised her hand to stop her words, "You are his mother, and you gave birth to him, so naturally you have a reason to decide his life and death." Jiao Niang smiled slightly, and her voice was as gentle as water, "It's just that you have asked him? He is so young, and he probably doesn't know what it means to fend for himself, if he understands, is he willing to do it?"

The woman's expression was stunned, she looked at the child in her arms, the child ate with relish, and her little face seemed to be a little angry.

When people are hungry, they want to eat, which is a desire to survive.

She bit her lip tightly, and there was a whimpering sound in her throat and eyes, and the child seemed to be able to understand her mother's feelings at this moment, raised her head to look at her, and fed the steamed buns she was eating into her mouth, "Mother, eat." ”

Just two short words shattered a mother's heart, hugged him tightly in her arms, and wept with grief.

Jiao Niang was moved and sighed in her heart, she knew that this mother was not really ruthless, on the contrary, it was precisely because of love that she would have such extreme thoughts for a while.

Chu Cicada has a soft heart, she can't see this kind of scene, she watched people cry, and she also shed tears, "Master, good people do it to the end, why don't we help them." ”

Jiao Niang looked at her and sighed, "Can you help for a while, can you help for a lifetime?"

In the past, she thought that Chu Cicada was a very calm and rational person.

"But they are so pitiful. ”

Jiao Niang was silent, put down the money and turned to leave.

Behind is the beggar woman's thanks, she slammed on the ground at Jiao Niang, "The two uncles are good people, good people, I will definitely remember the kindness of the two, and I will repay them in the next life as a cow and a horse." ”

Jiao Niang's heart couldn't help but soften, her footsteps stopped, she slightly sideways her face, under the sun, her long eyelashes were thick projected on the lower face, she said to Chu Cicada: "Send someone to send her back, and then invite a Langzhong." ”

A smile immediately bloomed on the sad face of the first cicada, and her eyes shone like falling into a star, and she promised again and again, and the woman was even more grateful, and she couldn't say a word of excitement.

At this time, there was a sudden applause, and Jiao Niang turned around, only to see a young girl in red suddenly appear in front of her.

The woman has bright apricot eyes and a tall figure, which is different from the fair skin pursued by women in the capital, it is the skin color of wheat, and there is a mole at the corner of her eye, she is a fierce beauty.

Jiao Niang looked at her, she also looked at Jiao Niang, and her unscrupulous eyes almost made Jiao Niang think that she didn't dress up as a man today.

Jiao Niang raised a decent smile and arched her hand at her, and the woman was even more frank and returned the salute with her fists.

"I can't see that you are feminine, but you are a husband who fights righteousness and squanders money. The woman was blunt and bold.

Jiao Niang was speechless, she didn't know whether to praise her or scold her, she smiled and said, "Thank you girl for the compliment." ”

Her smile was as bright as a pearl, and the woman in red couldn't help but speed up a few times, she raised her chin slightly, put aside her gaze to look directly at Jiao Niang, and then said: "Who said I was praising you? I was saying that you were stupid, who knows if the mother and son were pretending to deceive an ignorant rich son like you." ”

Jiao Niang has red lips and white teeth, and is dressed in men's clothes, she really looks like a young man from a rich family.

Jiao Niang didn't laugh angrily, she just felt that this girl was very childish, she shook the fan twice, the wind blew, with a fairy spirit, "Thank you girl for reminding me, I will pay more attention to it then." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a horse suddenly jump out from behind the girl, and the horse was on a rampage, obviously startled.

didn't have time to think about it, Jiao Niang stretched out her hand and tugged, and the woman spun around a few times and was hugged into Jiao Niang's arms.
