"You scared me! Didn't I tell you during the day, I'll give you a steamed bun when you're hungry, why do you have to rely on me? "Yoshiri came very sleepy, and suddenly came to the spirit.

The girl did not give up, and said, "The poor are not subject to food, and since I have eaten your steamed buns, I am naturally your person." ”

"Have you ever studied? What is your name? Ji Ri was a little surprised, a woman took the truth as the bottom, and also strung out crooked reasoning, which made him curious.

"My name is Chen Qian, my father is a private school teacher, so I followed a few years of school, and on the way here, my father didn't hold it and starved to death on the side of the road."

When Ji Ri heard this, he didn't ask any further. The height can be divided into high and low, natural disasters regardless of whether they are high or low, and the girl is begging alone in Huze City, which is enough to explain the problem. Ji Ri moved his heart of compassion, covered his exhaustion, showed a smile, and said with relief: "Chen Qian, your father must be a somewhat poetic person to give you such a beautiful name." ”

Chen Qian said: "Then are you willing to keep me?" ”

"It's not that I don't keep you during the day, you must know that the good door is difficult to open and even more difficult to close, if I keep you, there will naturally be a second or third person to mess around. Well, what will you do, I'll see if I can help you get a good job, at least not starve to death. Ji Ri said his grievances unreservedly, no matter what this girl would do, it would not be a big problem for him to stay in Chen's Mansion after all.

Chen Qian was always very calm, and she also guessed the implicit meaning, and said: "I don't go to other places, they are not clean, but you are a clean person." ”

"It's not easy to survive at this time, you still pick and choose, isn't it better for me to help you go to the rich man's house than my poor sour steamed bun shop?"

Chen Qian was still firm and said: "You are not poor and sour, and this shop is not poor and sour." My father told me that if there is no way to live, it is better to find a shop and sell myself than to be led to a green building, and no matter how poor the shop is, it will have the capital to live. ”

Ji Ri wondered: "There are so many shops, why did you fall in love with my family?" ”

Chen Qian replied: "My father said, pick a shop to see the couplets, don't go to the same one, the business is not serious enough." Your couplets are different from others, and there is a stubbornness in them. ”

Ji Ri came down to his senses and said, "How about the couplets of the Liubiju next door to me?" ”

Chen Qian thought for a while and said, "It's also very good, the most philistine shop is elegantly written." ”

"Then why don't you go to Liubiju?"

"You gave me steamed buns to eat."

Ji Ri couldn't cry or laugh, and his kindness was really relied upon.

"Then if I don't give you steamed buns, will you go to Liubiju?"

Chen Qian shook her head and said, "I went to the roadside outside the city to die with my father." ”

The two were silent for a long time before Ji Rifang opened his mouth and said, "Where is your father, let's go and bury him." ”

Chen Qian led Ji Ri out of the city, the road became more and more familiar, and Ji Ri suddenly felt that things seemed to be a little too coincidental. Sure enough, the hungry corpse that was carried to the side was pointed at by Chen Qian, saying that this was his father. After holding on to calm for a long time, seeing the rut marks on her father's bones, Chen Qian finally couldn't help but start sobbing. When she gradually calmed down, Ji Rifang said: "Tomorrow Yizhuang will come to clean up, the way of the world is like this, let's hold on to the living first, alas." ”

Ji Ri also thought about helping him bury his father, but it would be more difficult to get rid of this guy, so he had to give the job to Yizhuang. Chen Qian's complaining thoughts were not revealed at all, she just tidied up her father's clothes, kowtowed a few times, and followed behind Ji Ri.

The night was hazy, and a young man in sackcloth and a girl in beggar's clothes walked one after the other, and neither of them spoke. It wasn't until he returned to the shop that Ji Ri spoke: "You sleep here today." Later, I will boil water for you, freshen up well, and tomorrow early morning I will send you to Chen Yuanwai's house, and he will take care of you. ”

Chen Qian asked softly: "Why do you have to drive me away, I just want to live." ”

Ji Ri helped Jiang Yue spread the futon and said, "Then why do you have to stay here, you can survive elsewhere." ”

"I can sew clothes for you, I embroider well. Whatever you want me to do, I'll just learn. Chen Qian's tone was still gentle and firm.

Ji Ri sighed and said: "Why are you so troubled, I don't want to keep you, let alone seek death, there is obviously a way to compromise, why are you so stubborn?" ”

Seeing that Chen Qian no longer argued, she sat on the made bed, closed the door and left on the auspicious day.

The next day, just after dawn, he got up to boil water on an auspicious day, and when he went to knock on the wooden shaft next to the door of Chen Qian's room, no one answered.

"I don't know how many days I've been running around, so it's good to let her sleep more." Ji Ri thought that Chen Qian was just sleeping too soundly, so he turned around and left, taking advantage of the boiling water to go to the noodles first, planning to bring the steamed buns to Chen's mansion together, and save the second trip.

After half an hour, the water was boiling, the dough was also cooking, and the auspicious day went to call the door again: "Chen Qian, don't sleep, wash and eat something, let's go to Chen's house." ”

Still no one answered.

This auspicious day finally sensed that something was wrong, and he didn't care about any incivility, so he didn't care about it, and with a little force, the door was pushed open. Is there anyone in it? All that was left was a bed and a neatly folded quilt. This auspicious day became nervous, Chen Qian is also a stubborn girl, since she refuses to go to Chen's mansion with her, it can only be to find his father!

"It's bad, it's really with the dead, that body and bones can't hold it!"

If you don't know, forget it, since you know that there is a human life to find a short-term view, the auspicious day will not sit idly by. He woke his mother up to help look at the pot, and then ran out of the city in a panic. In the early morning, there were few pedestrians on the road, and few of the beggars who slept on the side of the road opened their eyes, and Jiri ran all the way to the place where the dead body was found last night, and the body was gone.

Looking around again, there was an additional mound in the wasteland not far from the road, and there was a pit in front of the mound. You don't even need to think about it, Yizhuang has not yet reached the time to patrol the road to collect the corpses, who else can dig the dead corpses into the soil except Chen Qian?

Ji Ri shouted as he walked over: "Chen Qian, don't be stupid, I'll help you bury your father, people always have a way to live, don't look for a short look!" ”

This cry startled a few crows from the bald trees in the distance, but no one answered. Ji Ri secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly ran to the side of the earth pit, which was indeed buried last night's body, and Chen Qian leaned against the mound with her back, the fingers of her hands were all dirt, and her gray face was a little less angry.

I don't know whether it's regret or anger, Ji Ri only feels that his brain hurts. He touched Chen Qian's pulse, there was no movement, and he reached out to probe his nose again, and the faint heat hit Ji Ri's fingers, and his hanging heart fell.

"Since I know that you are going to seek death, how can I bear it regardless of the previous control?" Ji Ri sighed, hugged Chen Qian and carried it on his shoulders, only to feel that this person was light and fluttering, and it really didn't have much weight. carried all the way to Lu Qingzhou's medical hall, which had not yet opened. Ji Ri didn't dare to let her down, so he grabbed it with one hand and slapped the door of the medical hall with the other.

"Mr. Lu, open the door quickly, people will die after a while!"

After a while, there was a noise in the medical hall, and the door opened. It was Li Er who opened the door, and he didn't even put on his clothes.

"What's wrong with this man?"

Chen Qian was carried all the way to the hospital bed in the back hall by Ji Ri, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know, it may be hungry or tired, and I can't say what kind of disease I have." ”

Li Er was surprised: "Maybe you can send it to us, in case it is an epidemic?" ”

Ji Ri said solemnly: "No matter what her situation is, it has something to do with me, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I can't die without help!" ”

The two of them are bitter masters who met in the court, and they are born with sympathy for the same disease. Therefore, Li Er was not ambiguous, and immediately ran to call Lu Qingzhou over. The three of them surrounded Chen Qian, Lu Qingzhou stretched out his hand to take the pulse, and his face immediately became solemn.

"This female doll is so hungry that her limbs are weak, and the blood in her body is not smooth, but it is caused by fatigue. It stands to reason that she shouldn't have the strength to drive, it's just a waste of origin, drinking water to quench her thirst to get to where she is today. ”

Ji Ri's face was gloomy, and he said, "She is burying her father, half of it." ”

In just nine words, Lu Qingzhou and Li Er's expressions became sad.

"Fortunately, there has been no snowfall, and although the autumn wind is bleak, there is still a breath left." Lu Qingzhou's pulse diagnosis was over, and Li Er went to boil porridge.

Li Er was puzzled and said, "Mr. Lu, eat breakfast later, let's save people first!" ”

"What is the cause of this girl's illness?"

"You just said it, the limbs are weak and tired." Li Er answered honestly.

Lu Qingzhou shook his head and said: "A thousand things are just hungry words, if she is not hungry in her belly, her limbs will be naturally full, and now no bitter water can be poured into her mouth, only rice porridge is sweet and nourishing, which can be a glimmer of vitality." ”

Li Er nodded as if he didn't understand, and went to boil porridge. Lu Qingzhou looked at Ji Ri and didn't say a word, as if he was smiling. This look made people uncomfortable, and Ji Ri couldn't help but speak: "I have nothing to do with her, I know that she wants to find a short-term before I come to the rescue." ”

"The old man has been asking for decades, but this question is the most unbelievable, but at a glance, he saw some miscellaneous lines on her clothes, as for the inside story, I'm afraid only God knows."

Ji Ri was helpless, so he had to start from the beginning, and Lu Qingzhou frowned when he heard it.

"In this way, this Chen Qian has a bit of knowledge, although she is the same age as you and quite talented and learned, it is better to follow her wishes, and it can be regarded as a marriage."

As soon as the words came out, Ji Ri intercepted the words and said: "If she is so talented, it is unfair to marry two steamed buns." ”

Lu Qingzhou said: "What is fair or unfair, if you marry a well-informed woman, you will save her life." This female doll woke up and knew that you had saved her, could it be that she could change her temper and find someone else? ”

Ji Ri scratched his head and said: "Then you said that you saved it, anyway, you know what happened, isn't it a good story to add a concubine to nourish your old age?" ”

Seeing that Lu Qingzhou's old face was red and he was about to hit someone, Ji Ri covered his head and ran out of the hospital with a cigarette.
