Chapter 313: Help
After finishing speaking, Xue'er didn't even bother to repeat it, and motioned for Lijiao to let go of her, but the other party directly ignored her, and took her back to the carriage in mid-air and turned around.
But instead of getting into the carriage, he landed on top of the carriage, still looking down at the group of beggars.
The beggars were stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned their heads to each other, and at this time, Lizai whispered to Xue'er: "What's the matter with counting copper coins?" ”
When she spoke, she still didn't let go of Xue'er, which made Xue'er very helpless, and there were many onlookers around, Xue'er was also a little uncomfortable, so she struggled again, but she didn't want the horse pulling the carriage to move, and the carriage shook, and her footing on the top of the carriage was even more unstable.
Xue'er's body shook, and she subconsciously grabbed the tribulation next to her to stabilize her body, so she was not in a hurry to answer the question of the tribulation, but said, "Did you deliberately choose to stand here?" ”
After a long time, he was helpless, raised it, did not speak, and only stared at the five or six black handprints on Xue'er's skirt.
Xue'er understood in an instant, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, so she didn't want to mention it again, so she replied in a low voice: "Just now I was about to tell you that I used five thousand taels of silver to redeem Lin Manrong, and her deed of sale is now in my hand." ”
After a while: "Five thousand taels of silver copper coins? ”
Xue'er nodded, and there was a slight smugness at the corner of her slightly upturned mouth: "Yes, I just don't know if Aunt Hong has finished counting in the past few days." ”
Of course, Aunt Hong didn't finish counting, even if she was patient, she couldn't stand it, and at the last moment, someone would always step forward and kick her, and then she had to start from scratch!
It's just that after a day's work, her hands are sore, her eyes are dizzy, not to mention that she has not eaten a drop of water, her mouth is dry, and what is coming out in front of her eyes is not Venus, but copper coins, copper coins!
In addition, the people sent out by Liu Chang to ask for help never got a response from the backers behind them, and Aunt Hong could only count, count, count!
Of course, these Xue'er didn't know yet, after listening to the tribulation, he was stunned for a long time, and his eyes at Xue'er became deep and weird, such a quirky Xue'er, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but it still made him cry and laugh.
The beggars around the carriage were noisy for a long time, but their voices became quieter and quieter.
Seeing this, Xue'er simply ordered the coachman directly: "Don't go back to the palace first, and take the Lanshui River instead." ”
The sound was not loud, but it was enough for the beggars around to hear it, and the coachman was stunned for a moment, and then he mustered his courage and raised the leather whip in his hand again, and with a crisp sound, the horse raised its hooves, and the carriage turned its head and continued to move forward.
Lizao once again stretched out his hand and put his arm around Xue'er's waist, and the two of them stood on the roof of the carriage, followed by thirty or forty beggars.
Xue'er frowned slightly, but the carriage swayed, the roof was even more bumpy, and her body shook badly, so she had to rely on the other party.
However, again and again, she was "taken advantage" by the other party, Xue'er's heart was always unbalanced, and when she looked up, the silver hair that fell down from the other party fell on her face, slightly itchy, as if it was going to itch directly into her heart.
Because it was on the roof of the carriage, it was not easy for her body to keep her balance, and she could not reach out to brush it, so she had to puff up her cheeks and blow hard, and at first glance it looked as if her hair was fluttering along the carriage.
Where did I think that this girl would have such a move, I only felt that the girl was blowing like an orchid, and the indescribable sweetness and fragrance seemed to be sweet all the time in her heart, and she hugged her waist and arm, unconsciously tightened.
Xue'er only felt that stealing chickens and rice was not a loss, and it was always herself who suffered in the end, so she couldn't help but be depressed, and couldn't help but stare at the calamity fiercely, but the corner of her eyes suddenly swept to the group of beggars behind the carriage.
The vast majority of the beggars bowed their heads and followed the carriage in groups, except for two small beggars, who were not short of them, and fell last. But there was a beggar who fell far behind the two little beggars.
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, forgetting the small entanglement with the tribulation for a while, and turned her head to look at the beggar.
Just now, it was just the corner of the eye, it was not very clear, but now it was clear, the beggar seemed to be dirtier than the other cylinders, his whole body was black and dirty, his hair was unkempt and covered most of his face, and his exposed chin was also bearded, and he couldn't see his true face.
These are not the most attractive places for Xue'er, what shocked Xue'er the most, everyone else lowered their heads and trotted all the way to follow the carriage, but this beggar was lying on the ground with his whole body, relying on the strength of his arms and elbows, moving forward little by little.
Xue'er's heart was a little unbearable, so she touched the tribulation with her elbow and motioned for the tribulation to look at the man.
After only one glance, he turned around and looked down at Xue'er: "Girl, what do you want to do?" ”
"Stop." Xue'er didn't answer the catastrophe, and commanded directly to the coachman, and at the same time grabbed the sleeve of the catastrophe to prevent the carriage from suddenly stopping and leaning forward again, after all, this is in everyone's eyes, whether it is planted from the top of the carriage or rescued by the catastrophe, it is enough for her to lose face.
Cher really suspected that the coachman had been bought by the robbery, and as soon as her words fell, the coachman reached out and pulled the reins hard, and at the same time, the carriage stopped alive with a "whoosh".
If Xue'er hadn't been prepared, she was afraid that she would have to fall off the roof of the car on the spot, so she dragged the tribulation, and her body shook two or three times before she stabilized.
Once she had stabilized herself, Cher jumped off the roof of the car and told the beggars to return to the companion who had picked them up.
After the beggars looked at each other, four of them came out, turned around and walked back, one by one picked up the two little beggars, and the other two carried the beggar who had been lying on the ground.
Xue'er and Lizheng glanced at each other, and once again felt that this group of beggars was not simple, looking at the two beggars holding the little beggars, walking like flying, where did they look like they had been hungry for three or four days?
After the catastrophe was silent, he was half a step closer to Xue'er, ready to make a move at any time, and left from the group of beggars with Xue'er.
When the beggar with the two little beggars returned, he was included in the beggars' procession, and only the two beggars carrying the crawling beggar passed in front of Cher.
A stale smell of blood came to her face, and Xue'er couldn't help frowning.
Xue'er only felt nauseous and nauseated, and was about to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves, but she didn't want to be pulled from below the sleeves of her clothes the next moment, and she didn't raise her arms for a while!
"Please, save me......"
The man's faint voice came, but the force of pulling Xue'er's sleeve suddenly increased, which made Xue'er bow off guard and go unexpectedly!
As she got closer, Xue'er looked more closely, except for the bloody stench coming from her nose, Xue'er suddenly felt that the man who was carried by two beggars was a little familiar!
After careful discernment, I felt that even the other party's voice just now was a little unspeakably familiar.
The tribulation on the side had already changed his face, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed at the dirty hand that was pulling Xue'er's sleeve, not much force, but enough to force the other party to let go.
The back of the man's hand was suddenly swollen high, but there was no redness in it, because it was so dirty that he couldn't see the color change at all.
The moment his arm hung down, the man wailed in pain, but the cry for help suddenly increased: "Help me!" ”
Cher was stunned again, and felt that this voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it for a while, so she could only focus on the man's face covered by hair and beard again.
"Who are you?" Xue'er stopped the two beggars carrying the man and stared at the man with a frown, "Do I know you?" ”
"Therefore...... Old friend. The man's voice was a little hesitant, but he quickly made up his mind, gritting his teeth, "Harmless." ”
Xue'er was even more stunned, the other party's voice was familiar, and at this moment she said that it was her old friend, and finally hurriedly showed herself "harmless", what does this mean.
Unable to make up her mind for a while, she involuntarily looked up to think about the tribulation, but saw that the eyes of the tribulation were like torches, staring at the man, as if she wanted to see the other party through.
"He seems to have been poisoned by something." Li Zheng felt Xue'er's gaze, withdrew his gaze, and when he looked at Xue'er again, he had become extremely gentle, "The body is very weak. ”
Xue'er still has no clue, and she can't remember when she had an "old man" who was poisoned.
But I didn't want to think that at this time, the man suddenly screamed, his body stiffened, and the two beggars carrying him couldn't catch him anymore, and fell to the ground with a "plop"!
Before Xue'er could react, she was once again hugged by the waist and took two steps back, distancing herself from the man.
Looking down, I saw that the man was rolling all over the ground as if he was crazy, and at the same time he reached out and scratched his body, and in a short time, blood oozed out, staining the ground under him with blood, which was shocking.
But the man didn't mean to stop at all, and the screams were louder and louder, as if they were even more itchy than after being hit by the itchy powder that talked about pity. But every time he scratched it, it seemed to hurt into the bone marrow, accompanied by a heart-rending scream, which sounded very terrible.
Almost without thinking, Xue'er pulled out a silver needle that had not been used for a long time on the same head, and said at the same time: "Hold him down!" ”
Immediately three more beggars rushed out, and each of them pressed down on the man's limbs and heads, and temporarily fixed him on the cold ground.
Although the person was held down on all fours and heads, his body still kept writhing wildly, but fortunately, it did not affect Xue'er's needle, only to see that her hands were slender, the silver cold light flashed, her hand rose and fell, and in a blink of an eye, she actually pricked seven or eight stitches!
The eyes of the tribulation always fell on the man's body, in case the five beggars couldn't hold each other down and broke out and hurt people.
The silver needle in Xue'er's hand was stabbed again, and in a blink of an eye, it was five or six true, and the man gradually quieted down, no longer twisting his body, but his expression was still very painful, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and he didn't know if it was a poison attack or a bite himself.
It's just that after so many needles, he only temporarily suppressed the toxin attack in the other party's body, and it is obviously impossible to remove it. This also made her curious about the smelly man in front of her.
So she asked the two beggars to carry her to the carriage, and she and Lizai followed suit, continuing all the way towards the Blue Water River.
It's just that Xue'er never imagined that this poisoned man was really her "old friend"!
