Chapter 10: Haifeng, the Beggar
The temple is not big, Mu Wan'er walked to the side door, faintly heard human voices, and couldn't help frowning.
She hastened her steps and saw several abbots giving porridge to the beggars, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and lift the hem of her skirt.
The little monk who had made a hand saw Mu Wan'er and asked, "Why did the female benefactor come here?" ”
"What are you doing here?" Mu Wan'er asked rhetorically.
The little monk told the truth, "They are all poor people, and the abbot has good thoughts and gives them a bite to eat." ”
Mu Wan'er nodded, the little monk originally wanted to tell Mu Wan'er a few words, but before she could speak, the abbot asked the little monk to go over to help, and the little monk had to leave.
"The female donor can go back at will, it's not safe for you to be out alone."
Mu Wan'er is not afraid of insecurity, but thinks that these beggars are ready-made people.
She went straight to a little beggar who was holding a steamed bun and nibbling on it, and the little beggar in tattered clothes noticed Mu Wan'er and looked at her vigilantly, as if she was afraid that she would rob him of his steamed bun.
Mu Wan'er squatted down, smiled gently, and took out two copper plates from her body, "You tell me where your head is, and I'll give you the copper plates." ”
The little beggar's eyes lit up, he pinched the leftover steamed buns in his hand, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, pointed to the alley not far away, and said, "Our boss is over there." ”
Giving the copper plate to the little beggar, Mu Wan'er went in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, she saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, counting the copper plates.
Hearing the footsteps, the beggar looked up at Mu Wan'er, "Who are you?!" ”
Mu Wan'er didn't speak, but quietly looked at the beggar head, the beggar head was angry by Mu Wan'er, and stood up with the "dog beating stick" in his hand, "Ask you!" ”
Mu Wan'er straightened her clothes, and then without saying a word, she directly beat the beggar head, the beggar head resisted desperately, and when the others heard the movement, they saw that their boss was completely suppressed, and they had no ability to fight back.
After subduing the beggar's head, Mu Wan'er said: "From now on, you must do whatever I say." ”
The beggar head held his breath in his heart, and suddenly became the second from the eldest to the second, and he glared at Mu Wan'er fiercely.
Mu Wan'er didn't care, "What's your name?" ”
The beggar head didn't speak, and Mu Wan'er raised her fist.
"Haifeng."
Haifeng rolled his eyes, looked up at Mu Wan'er, and said, "Since we are all your people, do you have to feed us?" ”
The beggars who were still ignorant next to them heard their boss's words, their eyes lit up, and they agreed, "Yes, we will be your people in the future, you have to support us!" Not only that, but you have to give us good food and good clothing! ”
Mu Wan'er was stunned, she felt that she had made a mistake, and wanted to give up Haifeng's group, but she was blocked by the beggars.
Finally sent Haifeng away, and when she returned to the temple dormitory, Mu Wan'er was keenly aware that there were people in the house.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stepped forward slowly, holding her breath and coming to the door, ready to catch the other party off guard.
"Crunch", the people inside actually took the lead in opening the door, Mu Wan'er stared at it and found that it was actually Xie Yu.
She looked at Xie Yu in surprise, "Why is His Highness here?" ”
Xie Yu said: "This is not the place to talk, you come in first." ”
Mu Wan'er looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she followed Xie Yu in, and saw that Xie Yu's posture was unstable when walking, and concluded that Xie Yu should be injured.
Recalling his previous life, Xie Yu was in the limelight after returning to Beijing, and the crown prince Xie Qi was worried that Xie Yu would seize the throne with him, for fear that the position of the prince would not be guaranteed, so he bought murder and killed people, and Xie Yu was closed for a while.
Calculate the time, I'm afraid it's now.
"I met an assassin." After Xie Yu sat down, he said with a pale face.
Mu Wan'er frowned, came to Xie Yu, and smelled the smell of blood on Xie Yu's body.
"You're hurt?" Mu Wan'er asked.
Xie Yu didn't hide it, nodded and raised his hand, Mu Wan'er saw the wound that was still bleeding, and her heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible hands.
She held her breath and looked at the wound, and after a while, she staggered her gaze with difficulty, "Since Your Highness is injured, you should go back to the house and ask the doctor to bandage it, instead of appearing here." ”
"It happened suddenly, and I also overheard that the girl was here, so I had to come over to disturb it." Xie Yu said truthfully.
Hearing this, Mu Wan'er frowned, "Why did His Highness appear nearby?" ”
Xie Yu didn't say at all that he heard that Mu Wan'er was here, so he followed, and he didn't say that he was in ambush because he was anxious.
"Pray for the mother." Xie Yu said without changing his face.
Mu Wan'er recalled Xie Yu's attitude towards the queen last time, and never thought that Xie Yu would make a special trip to the temple to pray for the queen, but this is a royal matter, and what is the reason for it, Mu Wan'er is not sure.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Wan'er proposed: "I asked my coachman to send you back, there should be no problem." ”
"I'm afraid that when I go home, my blood will run dry." Xie Yu said and looked at the wound on his arm meaningfully.
Mu Wan'er was dumbfounded, looking at the blood beads that fell to the ground at the end of the gathering, pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked outside.
Xie Yu felt flustered for no reason, "Where is the girl going?" ”
"Go get what you need to stop the bleeding." Mu Wan'er paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and left.
found the little monk, begged for hemostatic medicine and gauze, and when he returned to the dormitory, Xie Yu's face turned a little paler, pinching the wound with his hand, and his eyes were half-closed.
Hearing the footsteps, Xie Yu opened his eyes and looked straight at Mu Wan'er.
Mu Wan'er avoided Xie Yu's gaze a little awkwardly, and squatted down to treat Xie Yu's wounds, "After I bandage and treat it for you, you can leave here, those people are likely to come again, you are not safe here." ”
While speaking, her white jade fingers inadvertently touched the back of Xie Yu's hand, and found that Xie Yu was heating up at this time, she looked up at Xie Yu suddenly, and saw cold sweat dripping from Xie Yu's sideburns.
"Your Highness? Your Highness, are you alright? Mu Wan'er asked anxiously.
Xie Yu didn't speak, but leaned on the back of the chair, coughed against his lips, and only said in a hoarse voice after a while, "I...... I feel like I have a terrible headache. ”
Hearing this, Mu Wan'er got up and probed Xie Yu's forehead, and found that it was really hot, she panicked in her heart, a trace of cunning flashed in Xie Yu's eyes, and she began to know that she was emotional and reasonable, and sold Mu Wan'er miserably.
It's nothing more than the first time he returned to the capital, and most of the people in the house were out of their minds, but they were afraid that they would either report to Xie Qi when they went back, or they didn't take themselves seriously. And Xie Qi learned that he was not dead, and he would definitely send another assassin Yunyun.
Mu Wan'er was already ashamed of Xie Yu, and when she heard Xie Yu say this, she was relieved to let him go back.
