"The guy just now said that the lowest set of houses in the town now is only three hundred and eighty taels, and a person just came to their tooth shop a few days ago. Now the price of the house is generally a lot lower, Liulang, as long as there is another half a year, we will definitely be able to bring grandma to live in a big house. ”

"Yes, my fifty taels of silver have also come down, and when the stall is opened, I will go in and out with you all day long, and take good care of our stall together." Rokuro said with a smile.

"Yes, if it were you, the business would be even hotter!" He Mai slapped his face and laughed.

On the way back with a cart of goods, Hemai chatted to Liulang: "Shancao married in Xiangyang Village, although it is close, it is impossible to help me make steamed buns again." My sister-in-law is pregnant now, and it is impossible for her to help me. It seems that in the future, I will have to do the work of this bag of buns myself. ”

Rokuro scratched his head, "Why don't I learn to help you?" ”

He Mai imagined the funny appearance of Liulang standing with flour on his face and hands around his apron, and shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, you are tall and big, isn't it bad for you to learn to make buns?" Besides, this job is meticulous, you have to be a woman who can cook, you, just bend your bow and arrow! ”

The two talked and laughed and hurried on the road, and when they were about to reach Tiansong Mountain, they ran into an accident again.

It was dark at this time, and there were three gangster-looking people on the side of the road, laughing around a woman walking alone on the side of the road.

The thugs spoke loudly, and their frivolous and exaggerated laughter was very disgusting, but the woman who was molested did not react, and walked briskly.

When this kind of thing happens, Hemai and Rokuro naturally won't care.

He Mai jumped out of the car first and shouted, "What are you doing? ”

The gangsters were startled, and when they looked back and saw that it was Hemai, their expressions became frivolous again, and they laughed: "There is a little beauty again, still so young, yo, play with my brothers?" ”

As he spoke, one of the thugs pounced on Hemai.

He Mai was ready to fight the thug, but where did Rokuro allow the thug to approach her half a step.

Rokuro kicked the thug in the heart, and the thug collapsed on the ground without even letting out a fart.

Liulang's eyes were extremely sharp, and he scolded the other gangsters: "Don't get out yet?" ”

"Get out, get out of ......" The thugs carried their compassed companions and hurriedly ran in the direction of Tiansong Mountain.

In this moment, the woman who was molested did not stop, and she was almost half a mile away.

He Mai chased after him, "Girl, are you alright?" ”

The woman's back was tall and slender, and she didn't look like a refugee or something who had wandered here, but as soon as she turned her face, Hemai's heart was shocked: Ho, I'm afraid this face hasn't been washed for three or two months?

The whole face was dark, and only a pair of clear and beautiful eyes were shining, but at this moment, the light in these eyes was also confused and sluggish.

He Mai felt that she seemed to be a little familiar, and there was some familiar feeling for no reason, so he asked her:

"Girl, what is your name, and where do you live?"

The woman just stared at the wheat and did not speak.

"Do you have any family? Are you lost? Why don't we take you to the police? ”

The woman was still staring at Hemai, and her expression was very strange.

"Rokuro, she seems to be mute and can't understand me." He Mai tugged at Rokuro's clothes and said to him.

Liulang also saw that this woman's mind was not very clear, and nodded hesitantly: "Then let's take her to the yamen?" ”

"What will happen if you bring it to the Yamen?" He Mai asked.

"There are a lot of homeless people in this way, some of them are victims of the disaster, some of them are abducted and trafficked, and they usually beg all the way to a place thousands of miles away, and go to the yamen, and the yamen will send people to send them to a courtyard, and take care of people like them, and they will give porridge every day, and they will not die of hunger."

"It's miserable, then ...... She didn't even have to change her clothes. He Mai looked at the dirty clothes on the woman's body, and there was some sympathy in her heart, and there were other indescribable feelings in it, which made her make a bold decision, take the woman home first, and take a bath.

"Girl, don't move," it was most difficult to undress this woman, and He Mai wanted to help her undress, but the woman refused to let her touch her.

He Mai pointed to the steaming wooden barrel, "Can you wash it yourself?" If I could, I'd go out, and it would be easier." ”

The woman glared at the wheat and did not speak.

He Mai went out hard, and when he closed the door, he said, "If you can't get it yourself, call me, and I'll be waiting for you outside the door." That's the clothes, you can change them when you're done. ”

She took a small bench and sat outside the door to choose vegetables and wait, her legs were numb, but she didn't see the woman inside come out.

She went up and knocked on the door: "Girl, have you washed it well?" ”

When no one answered, she knocked several more times: "Girl, girl!" ”

"Could something be wrong?" Rokuro came out of the house when he heard the sound, frowning and guessing.

He Mai's expression was dazed, and he slapped the door a few times in a row: "Girl, if you don't come out again, I'll go in?" ”

There was still no sound inside, and Hemai didn't wait for it, kicked open the wooden door and rushed in.

But it was empty, there was no sound in the room behind the door, the window was closed, and the woman would not escape from there.

That...... What about people?

He Mai swept around in surprise, but suddenly noticed that the water in the barrel was rising one by one.

Look into the water and everything is clear!

The woman submerged her body in the water, her eyes closed.

Which one is this?

When He Mai scooped the woman out of the water, he saw that half of the woman's life was almost gone, so he patted her on the back before the woman spit out a mouthful of water.

Rokuro asked outside the door, "How are the people?" ”

"It's okay!" He Mai said loudly, looking at the woman funny, "It's just choking on some water!" Rokuro, bring me in with a handkerchief again, and I'll help her take a bath! ”

The woman slowly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with some defensiveness and vigilance, clutching her collar tightly.

He Mai had to coax her like a child, and her voice was soft: "Good girl...... Let's take a shower first, take a shower obediently, and I'll take you home, okay? ”

The woman looked stunned, her hand slowly slid down her collar, and then obediently accepted He Mai to help her bathe.

Wipe her face clean, Hemai saw her face clearly, and Deng Shi was shocked.

This mist-soaked face was gorgeous and cold, and a pair of big charming eyes stared blankly at the wheat in front of him, and his expression was like a lark that was injured and unconscious.

"How are you!?" He Mai cried out in a lost voice, "Why did you come to my house?!" ”

Wasn't the woman in front of her the same patient in Chu Baishui's hands that she and Liulang saw in the wooden shed on the mountainside years ago?

This woman is also the owner of the Lin family's old house, and her surname should be Zhong, at this time, how could she be like a homeless child, and she was picked up by Hemai and Liulang to go home?
