Chapter 20: The Beggar's Nest

"Hey, hey, I said what's wrong with you? Don't fall here! The guy was going to welcome Hua Ruxue into the store, but before he could speak, Hua Ruxue fell in front of him. The guy panicked all of a sudden, and took a closer look at this girl, her face was yellow and thin, her clothes were tattered, she was dirty, and she was still injured!

Don't be a fugitive! The guy was shocked, and hurriedly greeted the person next to him and called the shopkeeper out. At this time, there are a lot of people on the street, at the door of the inn, people are going in and out is even more lively, Hua Ruxue fainted like this, and a large circle of people immediately surrounded the inn, blocking the door of the inn.

As soon as the shopkeeper came out, when he saw the situation at the door, his face turned green, and he pointed at Hua Ruxue and shouted at the guy: "What is this for?" Do? Deliberately smashing my signboard, isn't it? ”

The guy was also very aggrieved, he didn't even touch the girl: "Shopkeeper, he really doesn't blame me for this!" This girl fainted by herself! ”

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, a group of guards patrolling the street pulled away the crowd, and the leader saw a person lying on the ground, felt his pulse in front of him, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's going on here?" ”

The guy's face was ugly: "Official, this ...... He's not bad for me about this! This girl wanted to come to the hotel, but before she could enter the door, she passed out at the door. None of us ever touched her! Official, you have to be clear! ”

The team leader looked at the wounds on Hua Ruxue's body, and saw that she was in tatters, and he instantly had a plan in his heart. He got up and took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped his hands, threw it on Hua Ruxue, and said angrily: "This person is a fugitive from the country of Jieluo." A foreign fugitive fainted in front of your shop and said! Are you her accomplices! ”

As soon as the team leader's words came out, the surrounding spectators turned their heads and pouted, the appearance of the Jieluo people and the Longtang people was very different from them, and the people there were all tall, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and curly hair. This little girl lying on the ground was thin and small, and at first glance she knew that it was their Longtang people. Even if this boss is unlucky, when such a thing happens, these soldiers and ruffians are going to start asking for money again.

The shopkeeper has opened a shop here all the year round, and as soon as the team leader speaks, where does he still not know what it means? glared at the guy hatefully, took out a piece of silver from his arms, and handed it to the team leader: "The official is clear!" We are the people of our own separate shop, where will there be some accomplice of the fugitives from Jieluo? Okay, help us get this right! This money should be used as wine money for the officials. The weather is cold, all the officials are working hard, scalding pot wine, warming up the body. ”

The team leader weighed the silver in his hand and smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that you are not an accomplice of this fugitive." Then a few of our brothers will do you a favor and take this fugitive away, so that it will not affect your business and open a store. ”

The shopkeeper and his buddy laughed and sent the patrol away, and today was a wasted day.

"Big brother, don't cry with a sad face." The shopkeeper of the jewelry store next door patted the innkeeper on the shoulder, "Who hasn't paid money on this street?" It's not a big loss, it's a penalty. A thief came into my store the other day, and they rushed in and took the thief away. The thief still has several pearl chains and jade hairpins on his body! My business has been in vain for half a year! ”

The innkeeper sighed deeply: "Alas! You said that when His Royal Highness King De was still in the imperial capital, how could these soldiers dare to make a mistake? Now I heard that the crown prince is in charge of these people......"

"Big brother! Be careful! Be careful! The shopkeeper was very nervous, "Don't talk nonsense!" If you are heard, you will be killed! ”

The innkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'll go back first." The way of this world......"

The owner of the jewelry store also shook his head and sighed and went back to his shop. This conversation made him a little excited, so it was better to close the store early, go home to warm a pot of wine, rub two peanut beans, and get drunk.

Soon after the patrol dragged Hua Ruxue out of the inn, they found a secluded alley and threw Hua Ruxue in. In such a cold weather, leaving a heavily armed unconscious person outside to freeze for a night is going to happen! But the patrolmen didn't care so much, left the people aside, and left grinning. I just earned a silver ingot, how can I not take it to be chic?

Hua Ruxue was lying in the alley, her breathing getting weaker and weaker. There was endless darkness in front of her, and she felt her body fluttering, floating aimlessly. It seemed to be her sister and mother in front of her, calling her. She only felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, as if she could fly into the sky at any time. This feeling is wonderful, she doesn't resist, but the warmth in her chest makes her feel nostalgic and unwilling to float away like this. What to do? Hua Ruxue fell into deep thought.

"There's someone here, Boss!"

A young beggar ran out of the depths of the alley, squatted beside Hua Ruxue, and touched her nose: "Big brother is a living one!" And gas! What should I do? ”

Immediately afterward, a boy who was a little older came running: "I'll take a look." The boy's dirty black hands pulled the flowery hair like snow, sniffed, and then touched the temperature of her body: "Quickly carry it back!" And save! Later she died! ”

Hua Ruxue traveled a long way for a long time, and was seriously injured, as if there were no bones. Two and a half boys carried him and ran back to an abandoned courtyard deep in the alley.

There were many little beggars of this size in the courtyard, and when they saw that they had carried someone back, they immediately got busy without saying a word. Those who boil water boil water, those who look for medicine look for medicine, and those who cook rice cook rice...... No one was idle.

"Find the rest of the gold sore medicine!" The boy was obviously the eldest brother of the little beggar in this yard, and after putting Hua Ruxue on the bed, he instructed the other little beggars to get the medicine. He could see that Hua Ruxue's body was a knife wound, and it had already suppurated, and if she didn't deal with it, she might kill her.

The medicine was taken, and the charcoal fire in the house was also burning, and the boy did not hesitate, and tore the clothes that were as flowery as snow, and suddenly his cheeks turned red. It's a girl! It was too dark just now, and the flowers were like snow and dirty, and he didn't even recognize them.

"What's wrong with the boss?" A little boy who went to get the medicine next to him sucked back the snot hanging under his nose and asked inexplicably.

The boy didn't answer: "Boil water, burn the knife, wait for me to come back!" When the medicine is boiled, pour her a bowl. With that, he rushed out like a gust of wind. When I came back, I was already followed by the aunt next door.

"Auntie, I'm sorry for you! This girl was so badly wounded that if she hadn't cleaned her wounds and stripped of the carrion, she would have died. The boy stood by the bed and looked at Hua Ruxue, although it was a meeting in Pingshui, but he Zhang Asan did not have the reason to see death and not save him. All the children in their yard who couldn't survive were rescued by him one by one. Now that he has met Hua Ruxue, there is absolutely no reason to give up.

The eldest aunt is also a kind and good person, these children live in the yard, and often help her with the work of the house, and now when people ask her, she will not refuse: "There is a difference between men and women, I know this." Don't worry! I'm going to clean this girl's wounds. It's just a job of removing flesh and pus......"

The boy gritted his teeth: "I'll come!" "When people's lives are at stake, why do you care about those men and women?" Auntie, after a while you cleaned the wound, only the ...... was revealed Showing his back is gone. I...... I'll go out first......" The boy's face flushed, and he rushed out with a thud and closed the door.

The eldest aunt shook her head with a smile in the room, stripped off her snow-like clothes, and began to clean her wounds. Because of the medicinal soup, Hua Ruxue's breath has stabilized a little, but the person is still in a coma. When the eldest aunt cleaned her wounds, the dried blood scabs stuck the clothes and flesh together, and the eldest aunt had no choice but to take hot water to melt it little by little, and those that could not be dissolved could only be torn off with the skin and flesh. Rao is like this, Hua Ruxue didn't wake up, but her fists clenched, her teeth clenched, and layers of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The eldest aunt was so frightened that when she finished cleaning the wound, her legs were also a little weak, she had never seen such a serious injury! I don't know how such a little girl was so seriously injured.

"Ah San, go quickly!" The eldest aunt's face turned pale and her mouth was dry, "This girl is too badly injured!" I really don't know who did it! I'm going to give you a hand, you may not be able to handle it alone. ”

After the boy followed the eldest aunt into the house, his face was also pale. Hua Ruxue was lying on the bed, her back was blurred with flesh and blood, her little face was pale and unhuman, and the hair on her forehead was all soaked with sweat, and she was soft on her face.

Slightly calmed down, the boy walked forward quickly, picked up a knife, roasted it in the fire, and half-knelt beside the bed, the hand holding the knife trembled for a long time before it steadied. Knife by knife, the boy cut it very carefully, cleaned up all the carrion on the back of the snow, and sprinkled a layer of gold sore medicine finely, and bandaged her with the eldest aunt.

When bandaging, it is inevitable to touch the body of the flower like snow, the girl's skin is cold and smooth, and the tip of the boy's nose quickly beads of sweat. However, the eldest aunt was worried about Hua Ruxue's injury and did not notice this.

"Alright, I'll go back first." The eldest aunt glanced at Hua Ruxue with palpitations, "If you have anything to help, you can call me again." ”

When the boy turned around, he quietly wiped the beads of sweat from his nose, nodded and said, "Okay auntie, thank you for today!" ”

The eldest aunt smiled: "No thanks! If this girl can wake up, she will probably be fine. If you have a fever or something tonight, you wipe her forehead with cold water. ”

The boy nodded and sent the eldest aunt away. When he came back, he sat on the edge of the bed with flowers like snow, staring blankly at the beautiful little face that was revealed after washing, and his cheeks were red.
