Chapter 35: The Little Beggar
Because Tian Yao and Ah were in a hurry day and night, they forcibly advanced the trip by one day. When she arrived in Bianzhou, Tian Yao saw the lively scene on the street, and couldn't help but feel itchy.
Then he said to Ah Li, "Let's go play, shall we?" Of course, Ah Li agreed. When he got up and planned to accompany Tian Yao, he was rejected by Tian Yao.
When Ah Li's puzzled gaze was cast towards Tian Yao, Tian Yao said with a smile: "You wait a while, oh, by the way, do you have any extra clothes?"
"It seems that the exam is only for men, so I have to dress up." Tian Yao explained.
Ah Li took out a piece of black clothes and pants from his baggage and handed it to Tian Yao, "This is." ”
"Thank you." Tian Yao held the clothes in his hand and waited for Ah Li to go out to change his clothes, but seeing that Ah Li had not moved, he reminded: "Brother Ah Li, I'm going to change my clothes, can you go out first?"
Ah Li lifted his eyelids, and a pair of inky black eyes looked at Tian Yao, as if he was joking, but he still went out and waited.
Tian Yao tied up her chest, then wrapped it in three layers inside and three layers outside, and changed into Ah Li's black clothes, although it was a little big, and she wore it loosely, Tian Yao thought of a way to pull up the excess part of the clothes, and then change her hair to tie it up, tie it with a hairband, and finally put on makeup, so that it really has the taste of a beautiful boy.
Tian Yao opened the door, Ah Li was guarding outside the door, when Ah Li looked at Tian Yao, his eyes couldn't help but be a little dazed, and he shouted uncertainly: "Ah Yao?"
can't blame Ah Li's gaffe, Tian Yao is beautiful and handsome at this time, and she has the appearance of a handsome and good young man, but she is short.
Tian Yao deliberately lowered her voice and said loudly: "Huh? Brother Ah Li doesn't know me anymore? When she saw Ah Li's stunned appearance, she couldn't help but feel happy, put her hand on Ah Li's shoulder, and said, "Let's go shopping away from my brother."
Ah Li naturally wanted to cooperate with Ah Yao, so he agreed in a low voice. Bianzhou is a place that the emperor likes very much, and when the emperor is happy, the people will be better. The street was so lively at this time, the shouts of vendors and tourists, and the sound of pleasure boats were mixed, all of which rendered a busy and joyful atmosphere, and couldn't help but make Tian Yao excited.
Ah Li helplessly looked at the woman in front of him bouncing around, looking at the cute appearance of that look, her eyes were soft and doting. Tian Yao was in a noodle shop at this time, and the curling heat covered the woman's pretty face, and she seemed to be a good boy in the eyes of outsiders, but Ah Li seemed to be cute in her gestures.
"Come on, come on, I'm in for a treat today." Tian Yao generously sat down at the table, lowered his voice and said to the boss: "Two big bowls of beef noodles."
Tian Yao bought a black silk scarf to wrap around her neck in the jewelry store, and then lowered her voice, which really made people unable to find fault.
The boss came with two bowls of steaming beef noodles, which made people appetite, Tian Yao unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and ate them, seeing that Ah Li had been staring at her, without moving the chopsticks, and asked, "Brother Ah Li doesn't eat it?"
Ah Li picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Ah Yao finished eating a bowl and ordered another bowl, this time to her heart's content. "Boss checkout!"
"Okay." The boss walked over and said the price,
Ah Li was about to take out the money but was stopped by Tian Yao, Tian Yao took out a bag of silver and paid the money, and then said to Ah Li: "I said that I came to invite this time."
"Then I'll come next time." Ah Li said in a low voice, and Tian Yao had no choice but to agree.
After eating, the two walked on the street, the crowd was crowded, and after a while, Tian Yao was squeezed by the crowd and lost her direction, and Tian Yao was hit with a "bang", and when she held her figure, in front of her was a little beggar who had not yet reached Tian Yao's waist, ragged and dirty, and he didn't apologize when he knew that he had hit someone, and ran away in a panic.
Tian Yao didn't know why, but Ah Li had already rushed out, it was difficult to run when there were many people, although the little beggar was short and hid in the crowd, Ah Li seemed to mention it casually from the crowd, it was the little beggar.
At this time, the little beggar was arrested, still holding Tian Yao's money bag in his hand, and kept saying words begging for mercy in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be sorry, I'm sorry, I'm forced to do it." ”
Ah Li picked up the little beggar like a chicken, walked to Tian Yao, handed her the money bag, and asked, "How to deal with it." ”
The little beggar is also smart, knowing that Ah Li listened to Tian Yao's words, he still kept apologizing, but said to Tian Yao crisply: "This graceful and bright-eyed jade tree is a gentleman, for the sake of me not eating for three days and three nights, let me go, I was wrong I shouldn't have done this." ”
The little beggar was dirty, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't taken a bath, but his eyes were clean, he looked at Tian Yao directly, and said flattering words.
Tian Yao admitted that she relented.......
"Okay, but you'll have to go somewhere with me first." Tian Yao asked the little beggar where the best restaurant in Bianzhou was, and the little beggar pointed to a restaurant with a lot of contacts.
"Serve!" Xiao Er's heroic cry woke up the little beggar, and he looked at the big fish and meat in front of the table at this time, which made him have a great appetite, not to mention that he was hungry for three days and three nights.
Tian Yao saw the little beggar looking like a starving ghost, so he said, "Okay, the little master is in a good mood today, and he has a treat." However, you can't eat too much, and if you've been hungry for too long and suddenly overeat, you're going to have a bad time. ”
The little beggar looked at Tian Yao in surprise, his eyes were watery, in these years, he was a beggar, he had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, no one could care about him at all, he just wanted to have a good meal, and those dignitaries were not willing to give even a little alms.......
Tian Yao was a little uncomfortable by him, handed over the chopsticks, and said, "Eat, eat, it's a big deal." The little beggar took the chopsticks, put a piece of white tofu into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and shed a tear. Tian Yao asked carefully, "What's wrong?" ”
The little beggar wiped his face with his arm, said it was all right, and ate again.
Ah Li looked at it with a cold face and snorted coldly.
After the meal, the little beggar obediently ate until he was full, then obediently put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Tian Yao in a twisted and pinched voice: "Childe." ”
Tian Yao looked at the big fish and meat on the table that barely moved, and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" The little beggar nodded.
"Little Er!" Tian Yao shouted, Xiao Er came over with the bill and said the price, Tian Yao picked up the wallet before and paid the bill, the little beggar couldn't help but blush when he saw the wallet he had stolen before, so he groped around his body, took out a book, pulled the corner of Tian Yao's clothes, and said, "Childe, this is ...... This is the book I stole from, and I, I don't have anything of value on me. ”
Tian Yao picked up the book and said to the little beggar happily, "Thank you." Looking at the cover again, it was bland, but it seemed to be a person's handwriting inside, so he said again: "It seems to be a lonely, you are so good!" ”
The little beggar hung his head, his face full of guilt.
Ah Li silently looked at the title of the book, and when Tian Yao was not paying attention, he glanced at the little beggar in the dark, and there was one less person in the dark.
Later, when Ah Yao came out of the restaurant, he shook his head in the dark, and Ah Li was relieved.
Outside the restaurant.
The little beggar hung his head and did not speak, and there was a hint of reluctance in his watery eyes. Tian Yao didn't care about how long the little beggar had not washed his unwashed and unkempt hair, and directly rubbed it and said, "Let's go home, okay?" ”
The little beggar was stunned for a moment, he didn't have a home at all, he usually just slept with other old beggars in a broken temple or under a bridge, and he didn't want to be separated from this son so early.
Tian Yao watched the little beggar stand in place in a daze for a long time, with no intention of leaving. So he asked suspiciously, "Aren't you still leaving?" ”
The little beggar whispered aggrievedly: "I, I don't have a home." ”
Tian Yao looked at the little beggar's aggrieved appearance, remembering that the beggar couldn't even eat, how could he still have a place to live, so he couldn't bear it, and looked at Ah Li with a small look for help.
Ah Li naturally understood what Tian Yao meant, but he still shook his head and said, "It's too eye-catching for you to carry a little beggar like this. ”
Tian Yao sighed, the pros and cons should be clearly distinguished, and looked at the little beggar.
No, this look is really hard to refuse.
"When my township test is over, I'll take you to find a job, okay?" Tian Yao never makes promises easily, but if she says it, she will definitely do it.
For the little beggar, having a job can fill his stomach without starving and cold.
It can be said that this son is his savior.
"What's your name?" Tian Yao asked, "So that I can find you after the exam." ”
The little beggar hung his head and muttered for a long time without saying a word, and finally said, "I don't have ...... Name. This sentence seemed to drain all the little beggar's strength, but Tian Yao was still as warm as ever, "It's okay." ”
Tian Yao arranged the little beggar in the inn and asked him to be obedient.
Ah Li and Tian Yao went to sign up for the township test, the little beggar Ba looked at Tian Yao and Ah Li's departing figures in front of the window, the two sons are good-looking people, it's really good......
Tian Yao finished registering and told him that he would not be able to come out for three days after the exam. Tian Yao looked at Ah Li apologetically and said, "Brother Ah Li, you won't be able to see me for three days." ”
Ah Lifeng said lightly: "Ah Yao is serious about the exam. ”
Tian Yao was a little disappointed: "Oh." Why does her heart hurt so much?
The exam starts the next day.
In the morning, Ah Li personally bought breakfast for Tian Yao, and Ah Yao said that Chen Ji's pancakes and fruits tasted good, so he lined up in a long line to buy pancakes and fruits in the morning. When Tian Yao woke up and washed up, the rich fragrance of pancakes and fruits wafted into her room, making her swallow her saliva.
"For you." Ah Li stuffed the pancakes and fruits to Tian Yao, Tian Yao looked at Ah Li with big eyes, and said happily: "Brother Ah Li, did you buy it for me?" ”
Ah Li avoided her gaze: "It's not ......"
Tian Yao agreed in frustration, and then began to eat the pancakes, although the taste was still as fragrant as ever, why didn't she have an appetite?
Ah Li looked at Tian Yao and felt unbearable, but said honestly: "I bought it for Ah Yao." Then his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Tian Yao. But Tian Yao seemed to have eaten the sweet filling in the middle of the pancake fruit, and her whole heart seemed to be stuffed with candied fruit.
"The hour is coming, let's go to the examination room." Ah Li said, but the thought of not seeing Ah Yao for three days made me feel depressed.
"Uh-huh." Tian Yao finished taking the last bite, and said with a mouth full of grease, Ah Li really couldn't stand it, blocked in front of Tian Yao, and gently wiped Tian Yao's cherry lips with his index finger, wiped her lip flap, and then to the corner of his lips. Tian Yao suddenly felt that her heart was pounding, and her cheeks were red and she said, "Brother Ah Li, I'm going to take the exam!"
With that, he ran away as fast as he could.
