5 Maidens

Wujiang moved his gaze to the melon in his hand, the shell was golden and there were slight ridges and shallow grooves.

"It's better to have a slightly rougher surface." He said, his voice like a jade colliding.

"That's it." Boundless and good.

"Great!" The vendor immediately picked up the melon and weighed it.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a wooden stick hitting the ground from far and near, and a little girl in ragged clothes walked crookedly with a small wooden stick, crooked to the side of Wujiang's feet, and a standing unsteady momentum was about to fall, and Wujiang could bend down to support her before she fell.

Her eyes were big and beautiful, but there was no trace of brilliance, her thin little hands grabbed the sleeves of her boundless shirt, and her voice was sweet, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gritting her teeth, she struggled to stand up again, and continued to "slap and thump" with her little wooden stick, but she didn't walk as crookedly as before, and she wasn't so weak.

"I don't know what's going on, there have been more and more of these little beggars in Xixuan in recent years, and there are still missing arms and legs, it's really strange, and I don't know where they came from." The vendor sighed as he weighed the melon.

The man in blue spoke: "I don't think you can buy this melon." ”

Wujiang nodded: "Indeed." ”

He laughed: "You know that you still quietly let her steal? ”

Wujiang replied: "Do you see that you still wait for her to go far before you speak?" ”

He nodded: "In this case, I also have to take some responsibility for this matter, I will ask you for this melon." ”

Wujiang shook his head: "No need, she stole my money, I buy my melons, it has nothing to do with Your Excellency." ”

The man's kindness was refuted, but he was not annoyed, but smiled and humbly taught: "It is reasonable, but it is reckless." ”

The peddler called the melon, and he didn't know whether to hand it over, and he listened to their conversation as if to say that the little blind man just now was actually a thief, and he stole the girl's money, and the two of them obviously found out, and they all pretended not to know, and let her steal it, and then the boy didn't know whether it was out of responsibility or that he wanted to help pay for this girl, but the girl didn't appreciate it, and the two of them looked good at each other, but it was really strange to act, but the point was that this melon still wanted it?

"Yes." Wujiang looked at the hawker's embarrassed expression, and held the melon with both hands, not knowing whether to hand it or not, "Help me keep this melon, I'll come back later." ”

"Great!" Since he still said that he wanted to buy it, the vendor smiled happily, "Don't worry, girl, this melon will definitely be kept for you." ”

Wujiang thanked him, nodded slightly at him, and turned to leave.

The man in blue looked at her departing back and smiled sideways.

Wujiang didn't bring out much money, most of it stayed in the inn, and she didn't plan to go back to get the money now, so she thought about going to the teahouse first to take a look and find out. On the way to the teahouse, Wujiang met two little beggars as the melon vendor said, one without an arm and the other with ulcerated skin, just like when her waist was burned by a soldering iron and then recurred again and again.

The little beggar was accompanied by an adult woman, who was also in shabby clothes, kneeling on the ground along the street together, looking at the mother of the child, but in Wujiang's opinion, they were a little too indifferent, in such a cold winter, it had just snowed, how could they bear to let their child lie on the ground unclothed, at least they should hold him in their arms and let the child be warm.

Boundless' eyes narrowed.

At this time, a small figure attracted her attention, in shabby clothes, holding a small wooden stick in his hand, but it was not used to explore the way, and his feet were walking fast, not stumbling at all as he was just now, and his eyes were bright and bright, and he looked left and right with rare cleverness.

Wujiang saw her walk over to the crippled little beggars who were unaccompanied by adults, quickly took out the silver from her bosom and put it in their bowls, and hurried away.

"It seems that she is still a little chivalrous girl who borrows flowers and offers Buddha to rob the rich and help the poor." Wujiang wants to see which unlucky guy she robs again, and she can't meet someone who is not easy to mess with.

Follow her into an alley with few pedestrians, this little girl is quite cautious, looking back from time to time, as if worried that someone is following her, follow her from a distance, watch her turn into the next corner, and after a while, she suddenly turned back and ran awkwardly.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw Wujiang, and then shouted, "Sister save me!" ”

This time it doesn't look like it's pretending.

Wujiang clasped his hands, looking like he didn't care: "I was caught stealing something this time." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw two big men rushing out of the corner, holding a sharp knife in their hands, Wujiang smelled blood, and the little girl's back suddenly rolled down a drop of blood and fell to the ground, Wujiang turned around and picked up the little girl to protect him.

"Stinky, it's none of your business, get out of the way of acquaintances." A fat man shook the knife in his hand.

Boundless has no intention of getting out of the way.

The two exchanged a look, suggesting that the other party would no longer bother to talk about it, and immediately made a move, as soon as they rushed up, one was twisted by Wujiang and the other was kicked off, the knife fell to the ground, and they didn't even dare to pick it up, so they fled in a hurry.

Wujiang didn't chase, she turned around and just wanted to ask what was going on, but before she could speak, the little girl rolled her eyes and fell down, Wujiang still caught it steadily before she fell to the ground, but this time she was really dizzy.

When the little girl woke up, she was in an inn, and there was a burst of food in her nose, and she wanted to sit up, but she accidentally pulled the injury on her back and fell back.

Wujiang put down the chopsticks, got up and helped her up, the little girl's eyes were full of vigilance, and she couldn't help but shrink back: "Where is this?" ”

"The inn." Wujiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the food: "Eat enough, if you're not hungry, I'm hungry, it's been a day." ”

After she fell unconscious, Wujiang directly carried the person back to the inn. In order to avoid being asked questions and not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, Wujiang jumped directly through the window through the back door into his room, and then rolled down the window to go to the pharmacy to catch the wound medicine, and after buying the medicine, he went to help her buy a set of clean clothes, returned to the inn, and then helped her scrub her body, apply the wound medicine and change into clean clothes, see that she needed a while to wake up, and went out to buy the melon in the morning, and after buying it back, asked the guy to help with the cold salad and ordered a few light and warm dishes to send to the room. People need some energy after starvation and injury, but they need to be lighter.

Wujiang sat down at the table and ate, the little girl finally couldn't bear the smell of the food and hunger and climbed out of bed, sat down at the table only hesitated and reserved for a while, then gobbled it up, coughed several times because she ate too fast, Wujiang handed her a glass of water, she drank it in a big gulp, after drinking, looked at Wujiang's face for a while, and asked, "Are you a good person?" ”

Is it a good person, Wujiang really doesn't know, he was also abducted and deceived when he was young, and he stole buns to deceive people in order to survive, and he was a little older...... No matter how old the memory is, I don't know what kind of life it is, but from the current point of view, she may be a killer, selling her life for money, killing people for money, and far from being a good person.

"Probably not a good person." She replied.

"Then you don't get angry when you know that I stole your money, and you still help me beat away the people who bully me?"

"No matter how bad a person is, there are times when he has a sudden kindness."

"Your martial arts are very good, and you can beat them away in three or two strokes."

"I haven't dealt with anyone much, and I don't know if it's good or bad."

"Can you teach me martial arts?" The little girl suddenly looked serious, looking like she wanted to learn from a teacher.

"Yes."

"You don't even ask me what I want to do to learn martial arts?"

"Well, don't ask."

The little girl suddenly didn't know what to say, she felt speechless, she was silent for a while and became pessimistic, because she knew that learning martial arts was not an easy task, at least three or five years of learning, but could she teach her three or five years, even if she could, could they wait?

"Sister, can you ......"

"My name is Cooksmoke, you can call me by my name." She smiled at her suddenly.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, this smile is casual and natural, it doesn't matter, there is no pity for the weak, there is no caution for worrying about hurting the other party's self-esteem, and she doesn't even intend to give her any peace of mind and warmth with a smile, it is a casual smile that comes to interest.

After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "My name is Xiaoci." ”

"That's good." Wujiang helped her fill another bowl of rice.

Xiao Ci didn't move, she looked at her seriously, and then as if she had made up her mind, she asked, "Cooking Yan, can you help me save people?" ”

Wujiang pestle chopsticks: "Do you mean those poor children on the street, some people are born with golden keys in their mouths, some people are born unlucky, even if you go to steal money every day to give them it, it is not a way." ”

"No!" Xiao Ci frowned at pain, "They weren't born unlucky, they were harmed by bad people!" The adults who begged with them were not their relatives at all, but the people who watched on them, in order not to let them escape, in order for them to make money for themselves! ”

Wujiang listened to her.

"I once was begging next to a little beggar who had a broken hand, and the little beggar looked a few years younger than me, and I wanted to ask him how his hand was broken, but he ignored me, and I was a little angry, until I saw that someone threw money at him, and he made a terrible babbling sound to thank them, that I realized that he not only had a broken hand, but also had a tongue and could not speak. I thought he was quite pitiful, at least more pitiful than me, and I stopped talking to him when I looked at him like that, and then when I was squatting there to ask for a few dollars and wanted to change the land, he suddenly turned his head and closed his mouth towards me, and kept repeating this mouth shape silently, I didn't react at the time, and then the woman who looked like his mother suddenly leaned closer, and he immediately lowered his head and fell to the ground with one hand holding the bowl and pretending to beg. I looked in the woman's eyes and felt scared, so I quickly left, I didn't know what he wanted to say to me, and then I gradually forgot about it, until one day I saw a man being chased on the road running and shouting two words, and I suddenly realized what he was saying to me. ”

"What?"

Xiao Ci's eyes became a little terrifying, and she turned her face to face Wujiang: "He's saying to me, help." ”
