Chapter 33: Saving the Beggar Girl
After the event, Jiang Qi left the iron shop and took his mount to wander leisurely on the street again. Look at it, look at it, Jiang Qi went all the way from the lively North Market to the South Market, which is full of shops and flags, and Jiang Qi's back has been full of all kinds of things bought from the market along the way.
Just walking along the way, Jiang Qi, who was enjoying shopping, suddenly walked out of the main road and turned into a secluded alley. Turning into the alley, Jiang Qi soon found that it was a dead alley, looking at the dead end, Jiang Qi couldn't help but have a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
Facing the end, Jiang Qi ran quickly with his legs, and with a 'snap' sound, he stepped on the wall blocking the road continuously, and the goodbye man had already stepped on the wall of nearly two feet.
Just after Jiang Qi climbed the wall, a thin figure sneaked out from the corner of the alley for a moment. When the man saw that at the end of the alley there was only a horse with something hanging on it, he panicked and ran to the horse to look around.
But just when the man scratched his head and wondered why this person suddenly disappeared, Jiang Qi was already leaning against the wall behind her, holding his hands with a smile on his face, and said, "Look for meγγγγ"
Just now, for Jiang Qi, who is sensitive to five senses, how can this little guy who is not very good at tracking escape his sense of touch, the reason why he didn't find out early in the morning is just a kind of cat and mouse game psychology, and now Jiang Qi is tired, so he got it.
The man was obviously startled when he heard this sudden voice, but when he saw that it was Jiang Qi who spoke, he quickly lowered his head, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands and kneaded them at a loss.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi approached with a smile, and when he saw that the person turned out to be the so-called 'sister' of those ruffians just now, he said half-jokingly: "Why, did your brothers let you follow me?" β
However, in the face of Jiang Qi's joke, the other party did not answer, and was still as silent as at the beginning.
Seeing that Jiang Qi hadn't answered for a long time, he squatted down curiously, looked at the face like a flower cat and asked again, "Can you speak?" βγ
"It turned out to be a dumb γγγγ"
Banxiang looked at the little girl and still didn't speak, the boring Jiang Qi got up and slapped his shoulders, led the horse and turned away, but after he just took two steps, the little beggar girl followed like a tail, and Jiang Qi only shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation.
Out of the alley and looked at the hour and afternoon, Jiang Qi, who hadn't eaten much in the morning, had already heard his stomach start to protest, and while touching his cooing belly, Jiang Qi walked to a restaurant not far from the alley.
Seeing that there were a lot of diners sitting inside, and then looking at the environment, Jiang Qi was not picky and walked over, as soon as Jiang Qi approached, the guy at the door of the store quickly stepped forward to lead the horse for Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi was not stingy and threw him two big money, and the guy who was happy said thank you repeatedly.
Entering the restaurant, Jiang Qi found a relatively quiet dining table near the windowsill and sat down, and soon a junior second approached and pulled down the white towel on his shoulder, wiped the dining table, and said enthusiastically: "What does Childe want todayγγγ
"A roast leg of lamb, a white water chicken, and two catties of beefγγγγγ Jiang Qi asked for more than a dozen dishes in one go.
"Childe, you are alone" The guy counted dozens of dishes, looked at the young man in front of him and asked with some disbelief.
Jiang Qi smiled and took out two strings of money from the money bag and threw them on the table: "That's enough!" β
"Enough, enough, Childe wait, I'll come right away" As soon as Jiang Qi made a move, the guy immediately picked up the five-baht money on the table with a smile on his face, thinking to himself which noble son came out to play, it was a waste to have so many dishes.
"Wait" Just as the guy turned around to place an order, Jiang Qi beckoned to him again, and then said: "Bring me another pot of rice and a big bowl of porridge, and call that person to the master."
Saying that, Jiang Qi pointed to the little beggar girl squatting on the opposite street, and naturally followed Jiang Qi's guidance to the little beggar girl who was watching and quickly lowered her head.
"Ah, Childeγγγ that's a beggar!" Seeing the person who came, the guy replied with a bitter face.
But just after a crisp sound of 'pop', the guy's originally bitter face showed a sunny smile again, and he nodded directly and picked up the five-baht coin on the table and said, "No problem, no problem, Childe wait a minute"
But when he turned around, the man weighed the five baht in his hand, and thought that this rich man really liked to eat with beggars.
The man who got the reward ran out quickly, and the beggar didn't agree to it, and he dragged her towards the store.
Watching the guy pull a beggar girl into the restaurant, the diners inside couldn't help but point, but despite this, soon the guy twisted the beggar like a chicken, and the guy who came to Jiang Qi nodded with a smile and said, "The person you want has brought it to you."
"Be polite to my guests" Regarding the man's actions, Jiang Qi waved his hand expressionlessly in dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, Childe, wait a minute, the little one will go to the kitchen to show you if the food is ready" The guy didn't dare to refute Jiang Qi's words, and hurriedly smiled and saluted the little God of Wealth in front of him, and then went down to urge the dish to leave.
"Why are you still following me?" Jiang Qi smiled and picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of warm water, and motioned for the beggar to sit down: "I don't know what your name is?" β
In the face of Jiang Qi's enthusiasm, the beggar girl didn't have much reaction, just looked at the clean cushion, and then looked at the dirty clothes and pants and lowered her head. In this way, Jiang Qi had no choice about this girl who didn't eat oil and salt, and finally took out two strings of five baht coins from the money bag in his arms and said, "Take it for youγγγγ"
Originally, Jiang Qi thought that the other party was just asking for money, but he didn't expect that the beggar girl didn't take the money, but suddenly knelt down after glancing at him. Faced with this scene, Jiang Qi was frightened by her, and when he saw the diners who had been paying attention to him next to him, Jiang Qi, who had never experienced this, quickly got up and helped the beggar up.
Then she took out a handkerchief from her belt in a panic and wiped her crying face, and said with a pleading look: "Little sister, what's wrong with you, is someone bullying youγγγγγ"
However, Jiang Qi's words did not make the beggar stop crying, but it backfired, and the beggar's cry increased a lot. Jiang Qi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, now finally knows what this thing is more powerful than the flood beast, even if it is a hundred steels, it is now a finger twist.
Jiang Qi, who thought that there was nothing that could stump him, now raised his hand and surrendered, and just when Jiang Qi was at a loss, his appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks made the beggar girl laugh.
Seeing that the beggar girl with pear blossoms and rain finally stopped crying, Jiang Qi hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, what's wrong with youγγγ"
The beggar girl who had been crying for a while finally spoke: "Since the death of my father, no one has been so good to the girl like the child, I just saw the child like this, the girl remembered the father", the girl held her mouth and sobbed again.
Looking at the sad beggar girl, Jiang Qi, who had been adrift since childhood, also remembered his loving mother and lovely sister, and felt a little sympathetic for a while, Jiang Qi said for a long time: "They are all poor people, is there anyone else in my sister's family?" β
"My mother and brother both died in the famine, and my only father also fell ill and died a month ago, and now there is a girl alone."
Hearing this, Jiang Qi sighed, although he said that he had been in turmoil since he was a child, at least he was not worried about food and clothing, and then looked at the girl in front of him who lost her relatives, I am afraid that there are many more in the world.
Although it can't change the tragedy of one person, Jiang Qi also wants to try his best to help her, at least let her say goodbye to this daily begging life: "It turns out that my sister is called a girl, but she has a big name"
The girl shook her head and replied: "No, my father and mother have always called me this girl since I was a child."
"That girl, sister, how do you plan to live in the future." Jiang Qi asked cautiously.
Hearing Jiang Qi's words, the girl shook her head and said timidly: "Can the son buy the girl, the girl is very obedient", and looked at Jiang Qi cautiously after speaking, hoping to get his affirmative answer.
"Well, Yu Yang is very willing to help the girl's sister, but Yu Yang is a cultivator, I'm afraid that no cultivator will bring a maid." Jiang Qi shook his head and said.
Jiang Qi's words disappointed the girl, her originally ignited hope was shattered again, and in the blink of an eye, she couldn't help but move her steps and wanted to leave.
Looking at the girl with disappointment written on her face, Jiang Qi couldn't help but soften her heart and thought about it for a while and then said: "Although Yu Yang can't let the girl's sister follow, but recently Yu Yang happened to do a favor to a big family, if the girl is willing, Yu Yang can let you go to their house, this owner is not bad, at least the girl doesn't have to worry about two meals in the future." β
Jiang Qi's words immediately rekindled the girl's inexhaustible heart with hope, and the girl with tears in her eyes hurriedly kowtowed to Jiang Qi and thanked Jiang Qi again and again.
Jiang Qi looked at the little girl in front of him who was only six or seven years old and was supposed to be playing under her parents' knees, but because her life had become so humble and sensible, he didn't know whether he should feel sad, and at the same time, this scene made Jiang Qi worry about whether the disaster he had caused at the beginning had affected his mother and sister.
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
With the matter settled, Jiang Qi and the girl, who were originally children, were already familiar with each other after a meal, although they had not yet reached the point of talking about everything, but the two of them were already much better than just now.
Jiang Qi, who had a full meal, patted his bulging belly, looked at the dirty girl and pondered for a moment, and wanted to leave the restaurant, Jiang Qi took the girl to an inn next to him, and then asked for a guest room Jiang Qi told the guy to prepare hot water and let the girl wash the cat-like face.
After ordering everything, Jiang Qi left the inn, and when he came back, he already had two more sets of ready-to-wear clothes in his hand, and Jiang Qi's eyes lit up when he entered the room.
The girl who had been washed in the room was waiting for him naked, and when he saw this, Jiang Qi sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that not to mention the true face of this girl when she washed her little face, she was quite well-behaved like a small southern jasper.
However, her skinny body at the eye made Jiang Qi feel an inexplicable tingling pain in his heart.
After adjusting her expression, Jiang Qi handed over the clothes to the girl, the girl holding the clothes felt the smoothness of the clothes, her eyes couldn't help but moisten again after having never worn such expensive clothes, and at the same time she secretly swore in her heart that she must repay him as a young man in this life.
Everything stopped, Jiang Qi, who went out to shop for a long time again, slowly felt very bored, and it was not too early to look at the sky, so he decided to go back to solve this girl's matter first.
Riding on the 'turtle speed' horse, Jiang Qi put the girl in front of him, and then hung the things behind him and began to set off home, although there were two people sitting on the back plus things were only the weight of an adult, but the horse was a little temperamental, until Jiang Qi slammed back and was not happy to speed up and run.
Although Jiang Qi felt that the mount was too slow, the girl didn't feel that way, and the girl who had never ridden a horse was immediately scared enough, a pair of small hands tightly grasped Jiang Qi's arm, and she closed her eyes tightly because of fear and didn't dare to look at the speeding scene.
The girl riding on the horse was frightened, but she felt a kind of steadfastness in her heart, with the sound of the wind in her ears, the girl who was gradually accustomed to riding a horse secretly glanced at Jiang Qi who was holding her, and slowly unconsciously gently leaned her head on his not strong arms, thinking that it would be good if she could do this for the rest of her life.
With a beautiful fantasy, the girl quickly fell asleep on the back of the bumpy horse, and in the dream she seemed to have returned to her hometown with vague memories in the depths of her memory, and saw her father, mother, and younger brotherγγγγγ
Jiang Qi, who was driving this mount, also realized that the girl in his arms had fallen asleep, but at this moment he couldn't bear to disturb him, and after arriving at the 'Qiaozhuang', he didn't pay attention to the doubts of his subordinates, and directly carried the girl into his own room in the morning.
Back in the wing, Jiang Qi put the girl on the bed and covered her with a quilt, scratched her lovely nose dotingly, and gently closed the door after doing everything, and then prepared to meet the owner Qiao Xuan under the guidance of the next person, hoping that he could take in this girl from a desolate family.
