Chapter 45: The Little Beggar
She pressed her swollen temples with a headache, and in a trance she felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person took a few steps backwards, and squatted on the ground all of a sudden. When the people saw a little girl squatting on the street, they couldn't help but look at it curiously, but they didn't dare to come forward and ask.
Qin Luoyi squatted on the ground, squatting from the noon sun to the sunset, until the last trace of afterglow fell from between the walls, she patted the dust on her body and stood up, first went to ask for her original clothes back to put on, and then went towards the inn where she lived.
Seeing that the horses in the stable were missing from a distance, her face changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the groom and asked, "Where is Master Rong who lived in the hotel yesterday?"
"Master Rong......" The groom thought for a long time before patting his thigh, "Oh, you mean that group? They left early this morning!"
"What? gone?"
Qin Luoyi was taken aback, she didn't expect them to leave her alone, and she suddenly became dazed.
She knew that they were going to Luoyang, but Luoyang was so big, and they were a private visit to Weifu, where to find them?
touched her body, except for a few copper plates, she was penniless, not to mention going to Luoyang, even if she had no money to buy a horse back to the capital, if she continued like this, she would have to sleep on the streets. Leaning on the trunk of the tree, she looked up at the sky, it was going to be dark, if she couldn't catch up with Rong Yunhe, and when the poison broke out, I was afraid that there would be no way to return to the sky.
She hasn't taken revenge yet, is it possible that she is going to die here?
"What are you doing here!"
A scolding exploded in her ears, and she trembled when she heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly turned around, and looked at Shangrong Yunhe's stern eyes: "Are you going to disappear without a sound like this?"
"Who's going to disappear, it's not that you and I quarreled!"
Qin Luoyi said sullenly, having said that, the big stone in his heart fell.
Fortunately, he's still here, so she's not alone.
Wait, he's here, what about the others?
"Your Majesty, they have already left first, we said that we lost something, and then rushed away. It was Ruan Haojun, who had just arrived, who spoke. He smiled softly and stepped forward to rub her head, "Frightened, aren't you?"
Qin Luoyi shook his head: "I'm fine." ”
"It's okay, let's catch up. Ruan Haojun got on the horse, and then Rong Yunhe also turned over on the horse and stretched out his hand to her, "Come up." ”
The knobby hand was close in front of him, Qin Luoyi was stunned, and he didn't stretch out his hand for a while.
Ruan Haojun bent her lips, pulled the reins of the horse slightly, and also came to her, and also stretched out her hand: "Girl in the clothes, come up." ”
Looking to the left and then to the right, Qin Luoyi gritted his teeth and stretched out his white palm in front of him......
Half an hour later.
Catching a glimpse of his friend's charcoal-like face, Ruan Haojun chuckled, and Qin Luoyi, who was sitting in front of him, tilted his head in surprise: "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"
"No, I just think you made the right choice. Ruan Haojun's eyes still flashed with a smile, "Why did you choose me?"
Qin Luoyi lowered his eyes slightly, felt the warm breath behind him, and spoke half-loudly: "Maybe it's because I'm with you, I won't have so many burdens." ”
"So, you are very burdened with the third prince?"
Qin Luoyi shook his head and did not answer the question.
Knowing that this had touched the part she didn't want to say, Ruan Haojun didn't force it, just grabbed the horse's belly, the horse neighed, and ran forward.
Hurry up, before dawn, they finally came to Luoyang.
According to the flying pigeon's biography, the emperor should have rested in a restaurant on the edge of Luoyang City, and they drove their horses to the restaurant, but Qin Luoyi suddenly saw something and shouted to stop the two.
She jumped off her horse and walked over to a dirty little beggar next to her. The little beggar was probably frightened by their horse, and the whole person threw himself on the ground, staring at Qin Luoyi with a disgraced face. Qin Luoyi smiled faintly, squatted down to help him up, and patted the ash on his body again: "Are you okay?"
The little beggar shook his head: "It's okay." ”
Qin Luoyi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't bump into this child.
Seeing that he was dressed like a beggar with no clothes, but as if he had come from a refugee area, he casually asked, "Where are your parents?"
Who knew that this little beggar was full of tears, and he cried out with a 'wow': "I, my house is not flooded, and my father and mother are dead!"
"Don't cry, speak slowly. ”
The little beggar wiped his tears and stammered for a long time, and Qin Luoyi heard the reason.
It turned out that this little beggar lived in a village near Luoyang, and a while ago there was a heavy rain, which flooded the dam, and as a result, the river overflowed, burying the whole village in the water, and many people died, including the little beggar's parents.
Qin Luoyi turned his head and looked at the two people who were walking towards him: "Let's help him." ”
Ruan Haojun's forehead was a little difficult. After all, they are people in the court, and they can't take a little beggar to wander around, but if they go from him to the official mansion, it is estimated that they have just left with their front feet, and this back foot will kick people out. There are so many people displaced every day, and the government can't control it.
After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we help him find a home?"
Who knew that the little beggar actually took a few steps back, looking frightened: "Don't sell me!"
"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. ”
Qin Luoyi comforted, and took out a white handkerchief from his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "Wipe the ashes on your head." ”
Perhaps it was the gentleness of her tone that the little beggar slowly relaxed.
He wiped the ash on his forehead vigorously, looked down at the handkerchief that had turned black, and rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "I'm sorry sister, I'll definitely wash your handkerchief when I go back!"
"It doesn't matter. Qin Luoyi showed a smiling face, "We don't have any malicious intent, we just think it's dangerous for you to be here alone, so we want to take you to a safe place." ”
"But...... But no one will want me. ”
"How come, you're so cute, someone must like it. Qin Luoyi said seriously, not at all dirty and took his little hand, "Sister will take you back to the inn to wash up first, and then help you find a good family, okay?"
The little beggar hesitated, but nodded.
Fortunately, the inn was not far away, and they did not ride horses, so they returned to the inn in a leisurely manner.
The location of this inn is generous, although Luoyang is not as prosperous as the capital, but it also has a different world. Qin Luoyi opened a room alone, took the little beggar back upstairs, and ordered Xiao Er to fetch a basin of water, and wanted to help him wash himself, but was stopped by Rong Yunhe.
Rong Yunhe frowned: "How can you help him wash it?"
"Why not? He's just a kid. ”
"Even if it's a child, it's a boy. Rong Yunhe said coldly, "A girl's family is so shameless!"
"You!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Ruan Haojun stopped between them with a wry smile, why didn't he watch them for a while, and then they quarreled again?
He waved his hand at Rong Yunhe, and then took the towel from Qin Luoyi's hand: "That's it, I'll help him wash it, and you guys are waiting outside now." ”
"Won't it be too troublesome for you?" Qin Luoyi said embarrassedly, after all, she insisted on bringing this child back, but now she has to worry Ruan Haojun.
Ruan Haojun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, your business is my business." With that, he turned and went into the house.
Qin Luoyi looked at his back, a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
She found a place to sit down, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it.
Rong Yunhe sat opposite her with a stinky face, snatched the teapot from her hand, and poured a cup of tea, and the two of them were like gambling, you and I drank one cup after another.
Just as Qin Luoyi's belly was swollen and he was about to put down the teapot, he heard a scream from the room!
Glancing at each other, the two turned around and rushed into the room, only to see a piece of clothing smashed out, and then Ruan Haojun, who was dressed in white, walked out, and when he saw the surprised eyes of the two, he turned his face away embarrassedly: "This ...... Girl in the clothes, I'm sorry I can't help with this. ”
"What's wrong?" he doesn't look like someone who doesn't even know how to take a shower!
Rong Yunhe didn't like nonsense as much as them, so he raised his feet and walked inside, but was stopped by Ruan Haojun, who was slightly red: "You can't go in either." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Qin Luoyi looked inside curiously, and saw the little figure shrinking in the bucket, without even showing his head.
Ruan Haojun embarrassedly pulled Rong Yunhe outside, and then said to Qin Luoyi: "She is a girl." ”
"What? girl?"
Qin Luoyi was taken aback, and his first reaction was to push them out: "Hurry up and get out!" locked the door uneasily, and then raised his feet and walked towards the room.
The little beggar shrank in the bucket, heard the footsteps, buried her head lower, Qin Luoyi was really worried that she would drown in the bucket, so she hurriedly walked up and pulled her out of it: "Don't be stuffy, it's me!"
Shrinking his neck, the little beggar looked at Qin Luoyi through his hazy eyes, and after confirming that it was her, the whole person relaxed, and his tone was crying: "Sister, that brother broke in just now......
"I know I know, we thought you ...... I'm sorry. Qin Luoyi opened his mouth apologetically, ripped off a white cloth from the side, and carefully wiped her body, "Why are there so many wounds on this body?"
The little beggar's hand clutched the edge of the bucket and muttered, "Those big beggars always bully me and make me pay for it." But I don't have any money, I haven't eaten for days. She did look hungry and kept swallowing.
Qin Luoyi felt distressed for a while.
She suddenly remembered what had happened to her
