Chapter 5 The Little Beggar
There was nothing to say all night, and Huang Tian got up early the next day, pushed open the door lightly, and slept relatively deeply, and Huang Tian didn't know when he left the house. Huang Tian glanced at the sleeping Han Shu and gently closed the door. Of course, it's not to say goodbye, it's to help Hanshu go out to buy maps and the food, drink and water he needs on the way. Huang Tian knew that Han Shu definitely didn't have many copper coins, and that was all he could do.
Han Shu rubbed his eyes dimly, saw Huang Tian sitting on the table, and shouted: You got up so early, this is not like your style, what's the matter, you are going home and can't sleep excitedly? Huang Tian smiled and scolded: Hurry up and wash your face, eat, you still have to hurry. Huang Tian asked Xiao Er to prepare breakfast early, and the two finished eating. They went out of the inn together.
Huang Tian looked at Han Shu and said softly: I'll send you here, and then you will go by yourself, you are not skilled in horseback riding, you don't need to be in a hurry to hurry, food and water have been prepared for you. You don't have to be polite to me, it's useless to say thank you or not, if you can become a great literati after graduating from Zizhou, I also have a light on my face, just say that Master Han Shu was still stuck under my armpit by me back then, and he couldn't move, and he was happy when he thought about it.
Han Su was not hypocritical, led the horse, and said: Let's go, take care. Leading a horse is like walking outside the city. Han Shu suddenly remembered a sentence in his heart: the starry sky does not ask passers-by, and the years pay off. A sense of pride rose in his heart, young man, always young and vigorous, no vitality, can you call a young man? Suddenly I wanted to get on the horse and gallop out of the city. It was only as soon as he stepped on the stirrup that the soldiers patrolling next to him looked like him, and remembered that it was forbidden to ride through the city on horseback. He could only lift his feet off the saddle with a sigh, wiped them with his hands, and looked at the soldiers who were walking away with a weak heart. He grinned and led his horse out of town.
Young man, don't look back, none of the lights behind you will rise for you; young man, look ahead, the tall towers in front of you, do you dare to set foot in it?
Han Shu was riding a horse, holding a dry tail grass in his mouth, walking slowly and leisurely, not because he didn't want to gallop like Huang Tian. It's really not skilled enough, I can't drive a horse, and I can't run. There were a few times when I was almost thrown off by a frightened horse. Han Shu could only give up, just walk slowly, and arrive before the registration deadline of Zizhou College. Han Shu touched the horse: Your hair is also yellow, and the dog I raised when I was a child is also yellow, I named him Xiao Huang, but unfortunately the dog is dead, or call you Xiao Huang? No, Huang Tian knows that he will beat me, haha, then in this way, you will be called Er Huang. All right. Two yellows. Ha ha.
The horse seemed to understand what Han Shu was saying, and he didn't know whether he was angry or reluctantly agreed, and ran all the way forward, vaguely meaning that the sky was high and the birds were flying.
Han Shu touched it and comforted the horse, and the horse slowed down and walked steadily. Han Shu remembered a ballad: My generation of young people is not satisfied, and wants to take off higher than the sky. If you want to enter the sea wider than the sea, who doesn't want to be young and promising, Huang Tian dares to bear the heart?
Humming softly all the way, swaying like walking forward. On the one hand, he was also sighing, if it was peaceful today, there were no thieves on the road, otherwise he would not dare to go on the road by himself, although it was autumn, the flowers and plants on the road still did not fade, and they were still so fresh and tender, and suddenly the horse stopped suddenly. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and the reins were tightened in fright. After landing, he stroked the horse vigorously and looked up to see the culprit. A young man of his own age knelt in front of a horse, his whole body was in tatters, he was a beggar. After seeing himself dismounted, he kowtowed straight, and he didn't have to hold the ground with his hands, and his forehead hit the ground directly. Although Han Shu was not angry, he wanted to teach him a lesson, and when he saw such a scene, he also dispelled his thoughts. He was lifted up with both hands, and the beggar just looked up, his legs kneeling on the ground not moving at all. looked up at Han Shu, with a crying voice: Childe, there is a reason for today's incident, please save my sister, I haven't eaten for several days, please save my sister, I am a cow and a horse, and I will never forget my kindness.
Han Shu looked at the little beggar, helped him up, led the horse, and said: Take me over to see. The little beggar paused for a moment. seemed to be curious that this person was so good at talking, and the next second he reacted and walked forward with a cold dream
Han Shu also thought about whether this person was a thief, it was not good to rob openly on the road, so he had to take himself to a corner and then commit a robbery with his accomplices. It's just that Han Shu no longer hesitated when the beggar looked up and saw the same eyes as himself, and laughed at himself in his heart: I don't want to be the son of a big family here, the clothes are just not as tattered as the little beggar, the only attractive estimate is this big horse, and the valuable thing on the body is the copper money given by Daddy and his mother, Childe, it's the first time someone calls me that, and it feels good.
After walking a short distance, I saw a child leaning under a big tree, it was really a child, about five or six years old, motionless, this is the sister of the beggar. The beggar ran over, hugged her sister and said, "Sister, there is something to eat, you hold on a little longer, and it will be fine immediately."
Han Shu hurriedly took down the water and food, and the beggar's sister was no longer able to move, so the beggar opened her lips, put the water bladder over, and sent it down little by little. I broke a little steamed bun and put it in gently. But there was no reaction, and water slowly flowed out of his mouth. The beggar was already in tears, and Han Shu touched the pulse of the beggar's sister, and when she was a child, she often played the game of doctor and patient with her partner, and she understood a little bit. I touched it, I didn't feel it, I wanted to try it, my hand trembled and I put it over, in fact, I had just touched it, I didn't feel it, I didn't want to believe it, I thought it must be my own problem, I am not a doctor, I must have touched it wrong, and my heart beat faster.
His hand trembled and he wanted to let it go, only to hear the boy crying and saying: No need to touch it, in fact, I know that my sister died a few hours ago, I just don't want to accept it, I hate, why didn't I die, my sister is still so young, why didn't I die, ah. Han Su staggered back, fell to the ground, and wanted to escape from here, that I had seen such a thing, my hands trembled, my feet trembled, and I patted my legs, but at this time I was numb, and the beggar just kept crying, Han Shu was half lying in place, not because I didn't want to move, but because I couldn't move.
