Chapter 28: The City Gate is on Fire
Xiao Xiao had two words floating in his mind: touch porcelain.
So she cautiously took a step back.
The little girl sat on the ground and looked up at her.
Xiao Xiao also found that she was scary thin, her eyes were extraordinarily big, and the smell of sweat and medicine on her body was intertwined, which was a little unpleasant.
Xiao Xiao couldn't bear it, and reached out to help her: "You don't care, right?" ”
The little girl hugged her calf and began to cry: "Sister, please give me some silver?" My sister is sick and doesn't have the money to get medicine..."
Xiao Xiao didn't expect that he would be so unlucky, and he really met a porcelain.
If she didn't look at her young age, she would want to scare her, and she would even be so disrespectful to touch porcelain.
Although she has never touched porcelain with others, she has been touched by others, but people really fight with their lives.
complained that he was soft-hearted, if he left at that time, how could he be entangled by others.
Xiao Xiao categorically refused: "No! ”
Along the way, she has also seen a lot of human tragedies with no silver, no food, and can't survive, and the thing of compassion has long been consumed little by little to the size of a sesame seed.
The little girl sobbed and cried, and her voice was as small as a cat: "Sister please!" ”
Anyway, he just hugged her leg and didn't let go, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Xiao Xiao really wanted to kick people away, but seeing her thin like that, she was afraid that she would kill someone if she kicked it out.
This bowed her head, just as she raised her head, crying silently, looking at herself with blank eyes, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Somehow, Xiao Xiao still softened, took out his purse from his arms and handed it to her: "That's all I have left, give it to you!" ”
Anyway, the purse is very old, and there are only more than three coins of silver left in it.
That's what she was going to do tomorrow morning to drink soy milk, buy fritters, and hemp balls.
Think about it, a bowl of shredded meat noodles is forty-eight wen, and the money given out is enough to eat seven bowls of shredded meat noodles for yourself.
I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the more distressed I feel.
I regretted going to snatch it back, and she left without looking back.
The little girl clutched her purse tightly, and when she was far away, she quickly got up from the ground and ran home.
When Xiao Xiao returned home, the Liu family was already waiting at the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her come back: "You are back, your father and they went to look for you, didn't you meet?" ”
"That must have been missed." Xiao Xiao prepared to go to the room.
Wu leaned up and sniffed: "Three girls, what good things have you bought?" How fragrant? It cost a lot of money to buy so much, right? ”
That look in his eyes is really eager to see through.
Xiao Xiao saw that she wanted to get started, so he hurriedly turned to face her, and by the way, he handed her the lo-mei wrapped in dried lotus leaves in his hand: "The basket in my back is all cotton and rags, I specially bought braised chicken and braised pig's head meat, and gave wine to my grandfather, second aunt, can you help me bring it to my grandmother?" ”
Wu immediately took it with a smile: "The third girl is really filial, no wonder your second uncle hurriedly took Da Lang and them to find you as soon as he heard that you didn't come back." ”
Mrs. Xiao was originally sitting on a chair mending her pants, but when she saw it, she was afraid that her second daughter-in-law would eat it secretly, so she simply stretched out her hand: "Bring it to me!" ”
Rolled his eyes at Xiao Xiao again: "You are a dead girl, you won't live, spend money on these lo-mei." ”
Although that is the case, even if it is her, smelling the smell of meat coming out of the lotus leaves, the Five Organs Temple can't control the rebellion.
Xiao Xiao also smoothly put the back basket in the room.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was there, he first turned out the peach crisp and stuffed it to his mother and sisters: "Let's eat first, it's fragrant and crispy." ”
Xiao Lian took the lead and took a bite: "It tastes good." ”
He cocked his orchid finger again and pointed at her forehead: "You little fool, why did you give all the lo-mei to the second aunt before, won't you keep half of it?" ”
Xiao Xiao finally found a chance to glance at her: "The taste of lo-mei is big, even if we don't eat it in everyone's noodles, we can smell it." ”
Although it is said that the Xiao family has been separated, but now that they are eating and drinking together, they are embarrassed to eat alone, for fear that Xiao Youfu will be unhappy if he finds out.
"The three girls did the right thing." Liu praised his daughter with a smile, and urged them to eat quickly.
The place in front of her is not big, and she doesn't want to close the door in broad daylight, she is afraid that her younger siblings will break in.
Therefore, she quickly finished eating, and put away the brown sugar, peach crisp, and osmanthus cake that her daughter bought: "These are kept for eating on the road." ”
As soon as they cleaned up, Xiao Youfu strode in, and when he saw his little daughter coming back, he didn't want to scold, but said disapprovingly: "Next time you can't go out alone." ”
"Oh," Xiao Xiao obediently responded, and smiled at him again, with a sweet voice: "Dad, I specially bought you braised chicken, good evening wine." ”
Xiao Youfu was really happy, and secretly took out two oiled paper bags from his sleeves: "I bought some beef jerky, you put it away, and keep it for the tooth sacrifice on the road." ”
Seeing that he loved his daughters, Liu was also happy in his heart, and took it and still put it away: "I know how to spend money indiscriminately, okay, let's go cook dinner first, right?" ”
Tonight is the most sumptuous meal in the Xiao family's small half a month.
In the next two days, Xiao Xiao also went out with his father, and the father and daughter also ate dumplings and shredded meat noodles outside, bought a lot of delicious food, and quietly brought them back to the Liu family to eat.
On the evening of the second day of the seventh lunar month, everyone had dinner, and the old man Xiao spoke: "I have inquired, the city gate will be opened at the beginning of the day, let's get up in the middle of the day, have breakfast, pack up and leave early." ”
The Xiao brothers have no opinion.
Old Man Xiao asked the eldest to talk to the Wu family again, and he and the second child went to feed the mules.
Xiao Xiao deliberately took a shower before dinner, because his hair was too long, so he could only wash it early, wipe it with a handkerchief, and then let the sun blow and wind, and his hair would dry.
Thinking that she would have to sleep in the carriage again tomorrow night, she went to bed early today, feeling that she could enjoy the day by day.
Mainly, there is no mobile phone at this time, and there are no idle books to read, unless you are willing to take the soles of your shoes to pass the time.
Beat her to death rather than use this to kill time, preferring to go to bed early.
was sleeping soundly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and Xiao Youfu's anxious voice: "Big girl, wake up quickly, pack up your things and let's leave quickly..."
Xiao Xiao, who was dazed, thought he was dreaming.
Mainly on the way to escape, she also had a similar dream, and she woke up scared of herself.
Xiao Wei hurriedly responded, quickly got up and lit the oil lamp with a fire breaker, and dressed neatly: "You guys hurry up." ”
Fortunately, the luggage was packed a long time ago, and the three sisters quickly got dressed and went out with their luggage.
Outside, it was as dark as ink, and the stars shimmered faintly, but it seemed to be quiet.
However, there were already two strange girls standing in the courtyard, one big and one small.
Xiao Xiao recognized the little one, it seemed to be the little girl who touched herself.
She approached Xiao Youfu, who was tying luggage to the roof of the mule cart, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
In fact, Xiao Youfu was also surprised: "It's them, there has been an accident at the city gate, and they will take us out on the small road later." ”
