Xi Ningyu, who was eating in the restaurant, didn't know that at this time, several groups of people from the Duhu Mansion in the city were asking around. Almost all the inns in the city were asked, and finally asked about Xi Ningyu and a few people at the 'Anfu Inn'. After learning that he hadn't checked out yet, he came back at noon and went out again.

The people who came here to inquire turned around and rushed to report the letter, leaving the innkeeper with a blank face standing in place eating ashes.

After eating, Xi Ningyu, Yu'er, and Uncle Wen walked out of the 'Cuilan Residence'.

As soon as he came out of the door, he saw a figure kneeling in front of Xi Ningyu, and Xi Ningyu shrank back in fright. But he didn't pay attention to his feet, and stepped directly on the feet of the fish that followed him out. Just listen: "Hey~~~~ Oops!! Miss, you're going to kill me!! ”

The fish vigorously took back the foot that was stepped on by Xi Ningyu, squatted down and couldn't even take off the embroidered shoes, so he hugged and rubbed it. I also rubbed and blew on my little feet wearing shoes and socks. His face was wrinkled with pain.

Uncle Wen was also stunned by this suddenness, and then bent down and asked, "Does it hurt badly?" ”

"You say that!! Or I deliberately stepped on you hard, do you see if it hurts!! When Yu'er heard Uncle Wen's question, she suddenly had a black line on her head!

"It doesn't hurt, I wasn't stepped on by you last time. How strong can you be! Uncle Wen said.

"......" The fish felt that his heart was so blocked.

Xi Ningyu didn't care about the kneeling person in front of him at this time. I was also busy with the fish and asked Yan if it was serious, if I wanted to take some medicine. After the fish eased up and the pain passed, he tried to move his feet a few times, and after stepping on the ground, he said that there was no major event and he didn't need to take medicine.

And the person kneeling on the ground remained motionless during this period, just raised his head to look at the wrinkled fish with a painful face, and his eyes showed a little concern.

"Miss Bodhisattva heart. Thank you, Miss, for the food, thank you, Miss! The kneeling man spoke.

Only then did Xi Ningyu look down and see that the one kneeling on the ground was not the same beggar who had been begging for food in 'Cuilanju' before.

"Hurry up, it's just a few steamed buns. You can't use it like this, besides, there is gold under the man's knees, and the man sweats don't kneel casually! You're just a little man, though. Xi Ningyu smiled lightly and reached out to help the beggar.

The beggar who stood up blushed slightly, and thought, "This young lady treats me like a boy." ”。

As the sky turned dark, Xi Ningyu didn't notice the flush on the beggar's face.

The little beggar who stood up didn't care about patting the dust on his body, looked at Xi Ningyu and said, "No, my father has taught me." Dripping grace, spring newspaper. Although my father and I are now down, we have no money to repay Miss, so we will kowtow to Miss. Let the young lady understand that my father and I will not forget today's grace! ”

Xi Ningyu, who didn't take the matter of giving this beggar some steamed buns to heart, looked at it after listening to the beggar's words.

Although there is no grooming, I can still faintly see that the beggar has a delicate face and delicate eyebrows and eyes. The coarse cloth clothes he was wearing were not as smelly as Xiao Er said, except for being a little old and a little broken, and his hands were on his sides and he was slightly nervous when he gently pinched the corners of his clothes.

After looking up and down a few times, the beggar in front of him gave Xi Ningyu a sense of gentleness and tranquility in addition to being a little down. It makes people feel that if you don't look at your clothes, the person standing in front of you is a knowledgeable person. This made Xi Ningyu a little curious!

I watched it for a while. Xi Ningyu opened his mouth and asked, "Have you ever read a book?" ”

"Well, my father taught me a few before. I have also read a few enlightenment books, but my father said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. To recognize a few words, there is no need to learn deeply. ”

"I see, listening to you should be for everyone's sake. Why did it end up like this? ”

"My father was framed, and my family was in the middle of the road."

"Oh! Then your family was an official eunuch before? ”

"......" the beggar shook his head.

"Doing business at home?" Xi Ningyu asked again.

"......" The beggar raised his head slightly and looked at Xi Ning Yu, then shook his head again.

Seeing that the beggar only shook his head and did not speak, Xi Ningyu guessed that it might be that the other party was unwilling to speak deeply. He didn't ask any more questions. Uncle Wen took out five taels of silver and handed it to the beggar.

"No, no, miss. If you have received favor today, how can you receive money again? My father is still injured and needs to be cared for. Thank you again, Miss! The beggar turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" Xi Ningyu heard that the beggar's father was injured, so he called the beggar who wanted to turn around and leave.

"I know a little bit about medicine, and since your father is sick, I can heal your father."

"Miss, do you really know how to heal?" The beggar said with great joy.

"My young lady came to Huaizhou County to treat people, so she naturally knows how to treat her, and it is your luck to meet my young lady." The fish chimed in.

"If it's convenient, take me to your place. I will heal your father, and if I can't heal him, I will be able to relieve some of the pain. Xi Ningyu habitually never said enough, and although she had a good impression of the beggars. But who can guarantee what his paternal nature is, so Xi Ningyu leaves room for speaking.

"It's convenient, but it's a little cluttered. I hope Miss don't dislike it, if Miss can save her father, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay Miss for her kindness!! The beggar was overjoyed, and said with tears in his eyes.

"If you don't have to be a cow or a horse, you will meet and be fateful. Besides, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, which is also to accumulate virtue for myself. Why not! ”

"Then lead the way."

"Alas! Miss, please come with me. ”

"Yes, yes, let's go, I just ate so many activities, and the provincial lady immediately went back and said that her stomach was swollen!!" The fish teased Xi Ningyu and said, causing Xi Ningyu to chase the fish and twist her mouth.

From the Anfu Inn, the Duhu Mansion family who heard the news of Xi Ningyu and his party rushed all the way back to the Duhu Mansion.

"Madame, I have inquired. The lady Xi stayed in the 'Anfu Inn', and the shopkeeper said that she had not checked out yet. I haven't seen a turn when I went out after noon today, and the small guess should be that Miss Xi is playing in the city, but I don't know where it is. The house returned to the house.

"It's good that you haven't returned to the town yet, so you just need to go back to the courtesy. Hurry, someone prepared a generous gift and waited at the inn. Once Miss Xi and her party returned to the inn, please go back to the house immediately. General Duhu's wife, Sun Shi, said.

"Yes!" Jia Ding replied.

At this time, Mu Hui, who was sitting on the side, thought in his heart, "I hope that my sister-in-law, your family can invite people back, but according to the situation in the morning." It's hard! ”

Xi Ningyu walked for about half a pillar of incense under the leadership of the beggar and arrived in front of a dilapidated house, and most of the courtyard wall in front of the house collapsed. The dilapidated courtyard door is also half open and one is crooked, and one door is half a person high, and it feels like it will fall down at any time when you push the door.

After entering the courtyard, you can see messy objects thrown everywhere, and not far in front of the house there is a small thatched hut with a height of one person, and some old pots are placed in the straw hut.

After inviting Xi Ningyu and the three into the house. Xi Ningyu realized that what was used to illuminate it was just a broken butter lamp, with a little black smoke. The smell of lamp oil in the room was very choking. There was no bed in the house, and under the window there was some thatch, which was covered with rags and tattered clothes, but fortunately there was a quilt that looked relatively intact.

After looking around, Xi Ningyu found that there was no place to sit, and the beggar also found out about this situation at this time. I couldn't speak, my head lowered more and more, and my hand holding the corner of my clothes became tighter and tighter.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Xi Ningyu saw that the beggar was so ashamed, so he opened his mouth to draw his attention.

"Ah, Miss. You—you call me a toad! Toad said.

"Toad? You are...... Are you a girl? Xi Ningyu pulled the toad over in some surprise and asked!

"Hmm." Toad replied with some embarrassment.

Uncle Wen also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and Uncle Wen actually had a guess in his heart along the way. Always separating the distance between the young lady and the toad. Now that he knows that Toad is a daughter, he is no longer so close to Xi Ningyu and Toad.

"Hey~~ Why didn't you say it earlier, really, I always thought you were a kid! Hey, what's the deal with your short hair? When Yu'er saw that Toad was a girl, she immediately let go of her restraint and said with a big grin.

"This is because I have to go out and beg for food. If it's a girl, it's easy to be bullied, so I cut off my hair with tiles to make it easier to go out. Toad said.

After hearing this, Xi Ningyu took Toad's hand tighter, and felt even more distressed about Toad in front of her.

Just imagine that girls love beauty at any time, even if they are in their previous lives. Women also cherish their hair very much, let alone wear it to this era. Women cherish their hair so much that they can make Toad decide to cut off her hair with tiles, but how many difficulties and grievances she has to endure to be forced to do so!

Youyou sighed, and Xi Ningyu motioned for Toad to take her to see her father.

The two walked to the thatched bunk under the window, and Xi Ningyu pressed the pulse of her father's arm that Toad pulled out of the bedding. After quietly checking the pulse, I wanted to see the patient's face. But the light in the room was very dim, and it was impossible to see it at all, let alone check the wound, and in the end, it was difficult for Xi Ningyu to determine the injury of Toad's father according to his pulse.

"Toad, this is really not a good place to treat your father's wounds. Otherwise, you will follow me back to the inn, and I will give your father a careful examination and treatment wherever he goes. Xi Ningyu finally had to propose to transfer Toad's father to the inn for placement.

"Well, isn't that too tiring Miss. I ......" Toad felt deeply embarrassed for a while, not only wanting her father to be treated, but also afraid of giving Xi Ningyu too much trouble.

"Toad, don't feel embarrassed, I'm a doctor. Saving people is a vocation and a duty. Xi Ningyu guessed Toad's mentality, and saw that Toad'er's governor was polite. I want to help Toad's father and daughter from the bottom of my heart, so I persuade gently.

"Then it's a bothering miss, today's great grace. Toad has no way to repay, if Miss does not dislike Toad's stupidity, Toad is willing to wait for her father's injury to heal, and follow Miss as a slave!! ”

"I didn't repay me for saving your father for you, just out of my own duty, but also obedient to my heart, you don't have to take it too seriously."

"Yes! Toad, don't hesitate. Come back to the inn with us, and see how sick your father is, and don't delay any longer!" The fish followed.

"No, if the young lady shouldn't get off me, Toad would rather not treat his father, but after his father died of serious injuries, Toad committed suicide to fulfill his filial piety!"

"......" Xi Ningyu was shocked by Toad's words for a while.

"Oh, don't do it, my young lady is kind enough to save your father. When you say this, it seems that my young lady forced your father and daughter to die, don't you think about it!! The fish jumped up and said.

"My father was persecuted, his family was ruined, and he was left in exile. Miss Yu gave me a helping hand, first giving me food, and then healing my father. If such a great favor is not repaid, it is not human. Miss Hopefully! Toad's eyes were wet, and he looked at Xi Ningyu and said.

"That's it, Toad, get up. It is important to treat your father first, and after he is cured, if your father and daughter are willing to stay with me and help me. If you do not want to come, it will be up to you to depart, and you will not hinder it. Xi Ningyu said.

"Thank you, Miss, then please Miss to treat my father!" Seeing that Xi Ningyu should go, Toad also got up.

Then Uncle Wen carried Toad's father on his back and followed Xi Ningyu to the Anfu Inn.
