CHAPTER XXXI
In fact, seeing the appearance of his master spraying tea, Ah Da knew that there must be something outside that made the master lose his temper, and at first glance, it was true, even his face that he had always been proud of was almost broken, and when he saw the master's eyes, Ah Da quietly went downstairs and followed the most conspicuous presence in the two crowds.
Gu Ning and Jixiang didn't know that they had been followed, but they walked further and further away and walked to the slum in the west of the city. Ah Da, who was following them, frowned at his thick eyebrows, and then followed.
Although the capital is still rich, but sometimes when God loses his temper, there are still individual places that will suffer, some of the refugees at this time will leave their hometowns to seek new life, although a large part of them have been scattered in various towns, but there are also some people who think that the capital is gold, thinking of developing here, maybe life will be a little better, but so many people come, the place to live has become a problem first, and there is no silver around, fortunately, the emperor at that time was still merciful, knowing that these people were homeless, he set aside a piece of land to house these people, and finally formed the current slum。
Why did Jixiang bring Gu Ning here, it was also because she herself went out from here, she didn't remember who her parents were at all, if she hadn't happened to meet Mrs. Xiangu at that time, maybe there was no one like herself in this world.
Maybe you can find your parents, although you have sold yourself to the mother, but the lady also said that the biggest thing is family affection, if you want to recognize her, you will definitely not stop it.
Gu Ning looked at the people here and the crowd on the street outside, it was simply a sky, a place, the outside world was all brightly dressed, and the people here, the patches on their clothes seemed to be bigger than the primary colors on them, if it wasn't for Jixiang to bring himself over, he really didn't know that there would be such a place at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Maybe this is the true portrayal of this world, there is no hope in the eyes of the people here, they seem to be alive, and they seem to be dead, and they have to live day by day.
"Lady ......"
"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that there is still such a place in the capital. ”
"In fact, every town has a slum, usually they are the laborers who live at the bottom, do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and during the day they are not seen, only in this area, so few nobles will come here, and they don't care about their life or death. ”
Ji Xiang thought that when Mrs. Xian came here, he was already a little sick and confused at that time, and when he saw such a beautiful lady, he thought that he was dead, and he saw that he was a fairy!
"How do you know?"
"Although I was already sick and confused at that time, I also came with Daddy and Auntie, and then my illness was too serious, so Auntie had to leave me. ”
"Ji Xiang ......" hugged her gently, "It's okay, we can definitely find them." ”
After looking at the surrounding environment, in fact, when Gu Ning said this, he had no confidence, it had been so many years, and it was estimated that the possibility of finding it was very small.
Jixiang herself knew that she was just deceiving herself, but she was still comforted by her own lady, "Hmm!!"
The surrounding crowd looked at the two such ugly men hugging each other, and they all looked at them in shock, and even stopped what they were doing. Ah Da couldn't stand it and wanted to rush over, but the two quickly thought of their situation, looked around, and walked towards a small path.
"Lady, I remember that this is a dilapidated temple, and the children in it are all some people who no one wants, some of them are beggars, they go out every day to eat, take care of the younger ones, and some of them are taken to do some things that are cheating and cheating. ”
"Are you sure these kids will go with me?"
Gu Ning was a little worried, these abandoned children were very defensive, it can be imagined that when he and Jixiang stepped into their territory, several children stood up and looked at them.
Ah Da jumped onto a tree not far away, looking inside, if those untouchables made any moves, he could have time to save him at this distance. Even if you don't figure out what this Gu Niangzi wants to do, it's better not to act rashly.
Gu Ning looked at their defensive eyes and felt a little headache, whether he could convince them to believe her.
I saw one of the older children come up and ask, "Who are you, what's the matter here?"
Because they had been taken away many times before, they had to be cautious of strangers, even though they looked very thin.
Gu Ning tried her best to keep smiling, but she forgot how black she was, this smile, her teeth were white, and the child was so frightened that she took a step back.
Gu Ning's head was full of black lines, which could only explain the intention, "I want a few people, my girl said that you can have enough food and clothing here, and there will be no such thing with me, but ......"
Hearing Gu Ning's conditions, a large part of the children stood up, but Gu Ning's gaze swept over those children who didn't move.
What she wants is a strong-willed person, someone who will not betray her for a little thing, everything else can be cultivated, but servility is not good, she is not a slave, she wants someone who can protect herself, a large part of these children are unqualified, Gu Ning thought.
The eldest child waved his hand, and the child who stood up behind him didn't move, seeing this scene, Gu Ning's eyes lit up, and he felt that this child was about the same, and there were a few more to observe.
"Why should we believe you? There have been people who have come to give things before, but what we are asked to do is something that is not as good as pigs and dogs, and those children who were taken away will not survive more than two days when they are sent back. “
Gu Ning looked at this child who was still a child, but pretended to be an adult to negotiate with himself, some wanted to laugh, but more sadly, when many children in the capital were learning to play, they already had to beg by themselves, in order to survive, they suffered all kinds of things in the world, believed in others, but what they got was betrayal.
"I can't really guarantee it, but what I can guarantee is that you're doing better than you are now. This is the minimum, as for what you want to get later, I will give you a platform and rely on your own efforts. ”
Hearing this, a few silent children behind them also stood up and glanced at each other, and the leading child said, "Then are you taking us all away?"
Looking at their expectant eyes, Gu Ning was a little unbearable, but the current unbearable was cruel to them, "I only picked four people, I picked them, not you!"
They want to choose her, but it also depends on whether she chooses them or not, "You can discuss it now, but if it is not what I want, I will not take it away, I would rather not take any of it, you only have one chance, if you miss today, I will not come again." ”
Ah Da on the tree outside, looking at the movement inside, felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate, and his muscles were tensed, and when he heard Gu Ning's words, he felt that the third lady of the Gu family was really bold, picking people here, and she was not afraid that she would not even have bones left to eat in the future, and the people here would have good seedlings???
