Chapter 145: What I Saw
"No, I want to go." Li Yan was feeling that weird and fresh feeling.
Pei Qing frowned slightly, and watched Li Yan take three or four steps forward before waving his hand to signal that he didn't need a car, and he followed Li Yan a few steps closer.
It's already the middle of March, under the bright sunshine, there is almost a bit of summer taste, most people have already changed into jackets, and those who have not yet changed their cotton jackets are also more open-minded, wrapped in a silver fox cloak, and Li Yan, who is still a little cold, walking on the street, very conspicuous and weird.
Li Yan walked very slowly, stopping from time to time, staring at a certain place for a long time before moving forward, Yushu followed closely beside her, guarding her, and pulling her from time to time.
Pei Qing lagged behind, staring at Li Yan, occasionally glancing at Yushu, Yushu is still Yushu, but she is very different. What was it sent from the capital? was hidden in the back lake by the old Prime Minister Li for decades...... Maybe something that's been around for hundreds of years, what's it? He'll probably never know.
In front, Li Yan stood under the Huanmen of a colorful restaurant, looked up at the lively and noisy restaurant, the expression on his face looked very sad, and after looking at it for a while, he lowered his head in a hurry, took two steps back, bypassed Huanmen, and walked forward.
Pei Qing frowned, beckoned to Jin Dou, "Go and inquire about this restaurant." ”
What to inquire? Jin Dou opened his mouth to ask, glanced at Pei Qing's expression, didn't dare to ask, promised and hurriedly inquired.
After Li Yan walked through four or five shops, Jin Dou came back, Pei Qing was a few steps behind, and listened to Jin Dou's low report: "That restaurant is now Song Ande's industrial ......."
"Song Ande?" Pei Qing frowned, Song Ande is the nephew of the concubine Jiang of Huainan Palace, he is very favored by the Jiang family, and he has a very good relationship with the second master Shao Qi, so it is his inheritance......
"The previous proprietor was a man named Zhao Liancheng in the capital, in the middle of the year before last, the restaurant went to water, burned a lot of guests, the official lock took Zhao Liancheng, said that it was a great crime, and he died at the door of the government, this restaurant was sold by the official to Song Ande, and it was reopened before the month of last year."
Jin Dou looked at Pei Qing with a heart, and when he heard these things, he didn't inquire about anything else, he felt that this should be the reason why the master asked him to inquire about the restaurant.
"Hmm." Pei Qing responded, the expression on his face was gloomy, but he didn't know whether to sink or jump up. Weng Weng was the mountain master who took over from his ancestors, and he and Weng Weng knew a little more about the cloudy mountain villa than the other two mountain owners. Weng Weng said that the ancestors said that when the stone house collapsed, the Pei family stood at the intersection, maybe the family was wiped out, and there was no Huainan Pei family again......
A trace of chaos fluttered and entangled in Pei Qing's heart, and the Li family ...... The one in front of you is the Li family that used to be? But later, the Li family couldn't even find the roots......
Pei Qing was thinking about it, in front of Li Yan and Yushu, the noise was mixed with a few exclamations, Pei Qing was clever, and subconsciously took a few steps forward, blocking in front of Li Yan.
Li Yanzheng looked intently at the old woman sitting between the two shops, and was so distracted that Pei Qing suddenly appeared and blocked his vision, and then was protected by his arms in front of his chest, startled, "What's wrong?" ”
Twenty or thirty steps away from the two of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties led a horse, a thin boy curled up in front of the horse, his clothes were shabby, but he was very clean, the middle-aged man looked angry, and was talking to the boy on the ground, and the crowd had already surrounded him.
"Get around." Pei Qing saw what was happening at a glance and immediately commanded.
"Check it out." Almost at the same time as him, Li Yan also spoke.
When the guards heard Pei Qing's order, they immediately gathered around the two of them, and quickened their pace to detour to the side, Yushu only heard Li Yan's words, and reached out to isolate the people who were blocking Li Yan, including Pei Qing, in order to separate a passage for her eldest lady to see.
"This is Yangzhou, it's not too ......" Pei Qing didn't finish his sentence, and then paused back, "Just take a look here, it's just that the horse hurt someone." ”
Li Yan glanced at Pei Qing, didn't go any further, for a moment, as if to answer Pei Qing's words just now, "It's not that you hurt people." ”
In front, the middle-aged man leading the horse was explaining to the people around him with an angry face: "...... I didn't touch him, I led the horse, and I walked here, and in front of the horse, he walked next to me, and he fell down on his own, and I could see it clearly! You see, the horse is here, I'm here, he's just here, how can the horse touch him? He's ...... This is...... You, how can you do this? ”
The boy curled up on the ground didn't say a word, only slowly shrunk up, looking in great pain.
"I know this child, I bought a cart of firewood a few days ago, and he said to help me move the firewood in, and give him two steamed buns, this child doesn't look like a good person." The shopkeeper who took up half of the door and sold steamed buns stretched out his head to look at the two and said.
"I also know this kid, I often go around this street, looking for someone to help people work, don't steal or take, that man, if you hurt someone, just give a soup money, you have to touch your conscience when you do things."
"That's it, look at this child, it's clean, it's uncomfortable and ruthless, this one, look at you, you don't look like a person who has no money, you can't be like this, you are talking a few more words, this kid ...... Help matters! ”
……
There was gossip around, and gradually there was a consensus that this man still wanted to rely on other people's children after hitting them.
Pei Qing frowned, and picked up Li Yan's words just now, "You're right, it's not a horse that hurts people, this kid ......"
"He's improvised, I'll talk to him a few words." Li Yan's gaze fell on the child curled up on the ground from the middle-aged man, Pei Qing's brows furrowed even tighter, followed closely behind Li Yan, squeezed through the crowd, Li Yan squatted next to the boy, Pei Qing stood next to her, and swept around with a cold face.
"You are injured, your aunt is sick, and your brother is also sick, but it will be difficult to the end at this time, and if you grit your teeth and get through, you can get over." Li Yan's voice was extremely low, the boy could hear it clearly, and Pei Qing could also hear it clearly.
The boy buried his head in his bosom, did not speak, did not move.
Li Yan looked at the boy who was shrinking even more painfully, and after a moment, he stood up and whispered to Pei Qing: "Let's go." ”
Pei Qing swept his eyes and looked at him and Li Yan eagerly, "Let someone give him a few taels of silver?" ”
"No, you don't." Li Yan wrapped his cloak and walked forward with his eyelids down. Pei Qing looked at the boy curled up on the ground again, and escorted Li Yan out of the crowd.
"What do you see?" Pei Qing was next to Li Yan and asked in a low voice, Li Yan hummed plausibly, "How far is it?" I'm a little tired. ”
