When it was dark, there was no one around, only the ticking sound of raindrops falling on the eaves, and a hand appeared silently, which was really scary, Luo Xuyan's heart "chuckled", covered her mouth, and suppressed the exclamation.

"Daddy, there seems to be someone here."

When Xu Yaoyao and Luo Banghao heard this, they walked over.

"Be careful, you stand farther away." Luo Banghao stepped forward, thought about it, and carefully lifted the yellow cloth.

Luo Xuyan raised her head from her mother's arms and looked at her curiously.

It was so dim under the offering table that she could only faintly see a human figure.

Luo Banghao breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems to be a beggar." In Beijing, beggars are generally not allowed to beg along the streets, and some people have to sneak around to get some money and food. This man...... I probably couldn't get anything to eat, and I fainted from hunger. ”

As he spoke, he took the beggar out from under the offering table and moved it to a place where the candle was bright, and he found that there was a patch of blood on the beggar's body.

"No, he's hurt."

Luo Xuyan took advantage of her mother's hand to let go and walked over to take a closer look.

The beggar's clothes were ragged, and his greasy and messy hair was scattered down, covering most of his face, and he could not distinguish between men and women for a while, and a dark red blood stain on his chest looked a little terrifying.

Xu Yaoyao protected Luo Xuyan behind her again, and said uneasily: "The person Jin Wuwei wants to arrest won't be him, right?" ”

Luo Banghao said: "Jin Wuwei will not arrest a teenage beggar, it looks like he was injured, if he is not treated in time, he is afraid that his life is in danger." ”

Xu Yaoyao said: "We are penniless now, and self-protection is suffering, how can we save him...... But you can't just watch a person die. ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Mother, take my things, it's just ...... Please don't blame me. As she spoke, she took out a jade ring with a cloud pattern from the small bag she was carrying.

"This is ......" Xu Yaoyao pressed her hand.

Luo Xuyan smiled: "Anyway, I don't have a favorite person now, I really want to say what I like...... I prefer money. She looked at the pearl hairpin on her mother's head, it was a birthday gift from her father to her mother, how could she take it, it would be a pity.

Her attitude was very resolute, Xu Yaoyao no longer objected, and Luo Banghao took the jade ring out to find a pawnshop.

They didn't dare to carry the little beggar to the hospital on their backs, for fear of being seen by the people in the government and taking his life.

There is a small bucket under the corridor of the Land Gong Temple, after the heavy rain, there is a lot of water in the bucket, and it is quite clean, Luo Xuyan carried the bucket to the house, took out her own handkerchief, and wiped the face of the little beggar.

But I don't know what is on his face, no matter how much he wipes it, she finally straightened the little beggar's hair a little, and then sat on the side and watched Xu Yaoyao untie his clothes, it didn't matter, the two were shocked and looked at each other.

I originally thought it was a wound, but now that I look closely, it is clearly a knife wound.

"Who would be so cruel to a beggar?" Xu Yaoyao shook her head and sighed.

Luo Banghao exchanged money for money, bought medicine and came back, and when he heard his wife sigh like this, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Yaoyao pointed to the little beggar's wound, "Look." ”

After Luo Banghao checked it, he started to apply medicine and bandage the little beggar, "It is also his blessing that he has a great life, and the wound looks terrifying, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point." Now, when the fever subsides, it will be fine. ”

Xu Yaoyao nodded, "It's just that this kid looks pitiful." ”

Luo Banghao took out the dry food from the baggage he brought back, distributed it to his wife and daughter, and took out a water bladder, he held the little beggar's head, and Xu Yaoyao poured water into his mouth.

Although the little beggar was unconscious, as soon as his chapped lips were stained with water, he immediately swallowed subconsciously, and drank a small half bag after a while.

Luo Xuyan washed the handkerchief again, wrung it out and folded it, and put it on the little beggar's somewhat hot forehead.

Luo Banghao said: "I forgot to order gruel, otherwise I can feed him some." ”

Xu Yaoyao said: "Let's wait for him to come to his senses, in case he chokes, it will be troublesome." ”

"Hmm." Luo Banghao nodded, looked at his daughter and said, "Ayan, you can eat too." ”

"Okay." Luo Xuyan lowered her head and took a bite of the cake.

Xu Yaoyao asked with concern: "Ah Yan doesn't seem to be very happy. ”

Luo Xuyan blinked and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what we should pay attention to on the way back." ”

Xu Yaoyao touched her shoulder, "Ayan, my father and mother will be considerate of each other." ”

Luo Xuyan looked at her mother and nodded.

Late at night, the little beggar's fever subsided a little, and his face was not so pale, indicating that he was gradually getting better, Luo Xuyan leaned on the pillar next to him and looked at his dirty face.

The sleeping little beggar seemed to be aware of the gaze that fell on his face, frowned, turned over, and the handkerchief on his forehead suddenly fell.

She sneered, leaned in and washed the veil again, and covered him.

The little beggar seemed to feel comfortable, and continued to sleep with his neck bent.

Seeing that he didn't have to worry about his life, he slept so sweetly, Luo Xuyan also felt sleepy, leaned on the pillar, and gradually fell asleep.

In her sleep, Luo Xuyan felt that someone was passing by, coming and going like a kitten like the wind, she wanted to open her eyes to see, but her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't open them, and finally the thick tiredness hit again, and she fell asleep again.

The next day, Luo Xuyan was woken up by Xu Yaoyao, and it was dark outside, but she was more concerned about her mother's face not being good.

"What's wrong?" She asked, her eyes wide.

Xu Yaoyao said: "The little beggar is gone. ”

Luo Xuyan turned her head to look, the place where the little beggar slept was empty, clean as if no one had ever existed.

Luo Banghao's face condensed slightly, "According to his condition, it is impossible to wake up so quickly and walk quietly." ”

"That ......" Luo Xuyan's heart sank, who were they saving......

Luo Banghao said: "This matter is not quite right, let's go on the road early and leave the capital, so as not to get into trouble." ”

Luo Xuyan nodded approvingly, the family packed up their things, and hurriedly walked to the city gate in the faint morning light, and as soon as the city gate opened, they set foot on the way back to their hometown.

They didn't have much money and couldn't afford to buy a pony cart, so they could only go south along the official road to see if they could meet a good Samaritan, give them a few copper plates, and take a smooth ox cart.

Although the road is hard, but fortunately, the scenery along the road is good, Luo Xuyan saw her father and mother looking at the landscape, talking and laughing, when she was happy, her father would also chant a poem, so that the road was no longer so difficult.

She can see that if there is no shop constraints, her father and mother will definitely indulge in the mountains and rivers.

Tired of walking, the family of three rested by a small river.

Luo Banghao said: "I see that there are fish in this small river, why don't I go and catch a few and grill the fish for you to eat?" ”

Xu Yaoyao said: "The river is a little turbulent, you should be careful." ”

"I will." Luo Banghao lifted his robe, took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs, and then carefully went down to the river.

Luo Xuyan held her head and watched her father busy in the river, and couldn't help laughing.

Coldly, she felt a strong wind flash behind her, and hurriedly looked back.

In the heart of Gyeonggi, there are no mountain bandits, but it is better to be careful.

In the woods not far away, there seemed to be a figure shaking.

Luo Xuyan shouted "Daddy" and motioned for them to go and see.

Luo Banghao trotted up to the riverbank, protected his wife and daughter behind him, and asked, "Who is there!" ”
