Quietly staring at the black spots, when they got closer, they found that they were in rags, a total of four people, some big and some small, like a couple with two children.

Seeing their convoy from afar, knowing that it was a noble person traveling, he seemed to be a little afraid, stopped for a while, saw that they did not go, so he sat around on the spot, and the man headed by took out a fist-sized black nest head from the burden on his back, and it took a long time to break it open, and distributed it to his wife and children, but he grabbed a handful of snow from the side and swallowed it, watched the children gnaw on the nest little by little, turned his body to the side and secretly swallowed spit.

Su Xiaojiu couldn't bear to see it, turned around and returned to the carriage, wrapped some snacks in a handkerchief, filled some hot water with a water bladder, and said to Xiao Jing, "I'll go and bring them some food, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Xiao Jing followed her gaze, the man noticed it, looked back vigilantly, saw Xiao Jing's face was grim, his eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly lowered his head and urged his wife to eat quickly.

"I'll go with you."

Not worried that she would contact the living by herself, Xiao Jing called two government soldiers to guard the carriage and walked towards those people with her.

When the man saw them approaching, he thought he was trying to drive himself, so he got up in a panic and blocked his wife and children, but his steps were vain, and he didn't have much strength at first glance.

The two children stopped gnawing on the nest, and threw themselves into the arms of the thin woman, looking at them with only two pairs of small eyes.

Seeing that they were scared, Su Xiaojiu hurriedly handed over the dim sum in his hand and said, "Uncle, don't panic, we are not bad people, but seeing that you are in the dust, we specially sent some food over." ”

The man's expression was relieved when he heard this, and when he saw that she was really carrying a bag of snacks in her hand, he seemed to be in disbelief, and said, "Thank you for your generosity, the little one kowtows to you."

As he spoke, he pulled his wife and children behind him over and knelt down for them together.

They came all the way from their hometown, sleeping in the open air, sitting in the wilderness, and running out of entanglements on their bodies, and most of the people they met along the way were just like themselves, and they didn't even find a place to beg.

In order to let the children stutter, he himself has been relying on snow balls for three days and three nights to satisfy his hunger, and he has already been sleepy, if he had not arrived at the root of the imperial city today, he was afraid that he would starve to death on the side of the road in less than two days.

Now seeing the two well-dressed people in front of them, they are either rich or expensive, not only did they not scold and drive them away because of their beggar-like appearance, but also took the initiative to send food, and the sadness of fleeing for more than half a month burst out instantly, so that the seven-foot man couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, a bag of food, naturally they didn't deserve such a big gift, Xiao Jing turned sideways and flashed, seeing that Su Xiaojiu was about to reach out to help them, he hurriedly held the man first, and then stood still.

Because he was very hungry, the man couldn't wait to open the handkerchief, looked at the delicate and abnormal pastry, his throat moved slightly, took out three pieces of dim sum and distributed them to his wife and children, took out the rest and put it into his own baggage, and he took the cold and hard nest in the hands of the children and took it in his hand and gnawed it, gobbling it up as if what he was eating in his mouth was the best taste of the world.

After taking a few bites, he suddenly realized his gaffe, and hurriedly returned the handkerchief to Su Xiaojiu, and said shyly, "I'm sorry, I made the nobles laugh, I really haven't eaten for several days, this is it"

His hands were dark, the handkerchief passed through his hand, and it was immediately black and white, Su Xiaojiu was not too dirty, he folded it with both hands, put it into his arms again, and asked, "Uncle, where are you from, are you going to the city to find relatives?"

The man fed the younger child a mouthful of hot water and replied, "We are from Yicheng, and we used to work in a rice store, but this year there was heavy snow in the south, and there was no harvest, the rice store was closed, and other stores were closed one after another. ”

I thought I came to the imperial capital to look for life, but I didn't expect to see a lot of victims like them coming from all directions before I went in, and it was freezing and snowy outside, and I saw many people freezing to death in the snow, so I knew that this trip was difficult, and it was not easy to mix in the imperial city.

"Let's try it first, it's better to find a part-time job, as long as you have a stutter"

He turned around to look at his wife and children, but did not say the following words, if not, I am afraid that he would have to take his wife and children to beg for food.

The man's name is Fusheng, and the thin woman behind him is his wife Yueniang, and a pair of children, the son is seven years old, and the daughter is five years old.

Su Xiaojiu lowered her head, Yueniang's soles were worn out, revealing frozen red and purple toes, and the frozen wounds were still bleeding pus, her heart jumped again, and she turned around and went back to find a pair of new shoes that she hadn't worn and brought them over, but when she handed them to Yueniang, she said, "I only wore these shoes once, they are a little big, if you don't dislike them, take them and wear them first." ”

Xiao Jing's eyes swept over the shoes in her hands, there was no wrinkle on the surface, and the soles were as smooth as snow, and they were new at first glance, she just didn't want Yueniang to feel burdened.

Where has Yueniang ever seen such a delicate shoe waving her hand and refusing to accept it, she wanted to push it back, look at her hands, and was afraid of getting her shoes dirty, so she hid back again and again, "I can't help it, this is what people like us wear don't want to be ruined, Miss better take it back quickly"

Su Xiaojiu insisted on stuffing it into her hand and said, "Shoes are for people to wear, how can there be any waste, unless the sister-in-law is disgusted." ”

"Where to dare"

Yueniang couldn't help it, so she had to grab a handful of snow from the side of the road and rub her hands, and then wiped and wiped it on the placket of her clothes, and then carefully took over her shoes.

She was reluctant to wear such good shoes, and now that the family is penniless, it is better to keep them as some silver.

After a few people repaired for a while, they were about to continue to enter the city, Su Xiaojiu kindly persuaded, "The road ahead is blocked by heavy snow, and we can't go for the time being, why don't we sit in our last carriage and go into the city together."

Their identities can't be inherited with Mo Yao and them, so Su Xiaojiu is talking about the carriage where the persimmon tree is placed, although there is no carriage, it can save some physical strength.

They walked for half a month, and they were already exhausted, looking at the thin girl who was only left with a pair of big eyes, the man nodded and said, "Then thank you, girl"

I felt unbearable, looked at the soldiers who were opening the road in front of me, and took the initiative to help clear the snow.

Su Xiaojiu looked like he couldn't leave for a while, turned around and got into the carriage, found the little shoes that were soaked and dried when he played in the snow before, and took his two clothes to Yueniang.

The dumplings are delicate and expensive, and the shoes that are dried when they are wet are no longer worn.

Yueniang was very grateful, holding a bunch of exquisite clothes that she had never seen before, first changed the shoes of the two children, and then wrapped them tightly in her arms with clothes, and sat in the car looking at her husband.
