Chapter 58: Ye Lichen (1)
The country is in turmoil, and wars are everywhere.
For as long as I can remember, I've lived with wandering refugees, and it's a wandering beggar who has always taken me with me.
Refugees like us are of course different from those young masters and young ladies who live in the capital.
To tell the truth, I am not a good person, even if I go to the capital, I have to try my best to survive, and then the old beggar fell ill, I used all the money to invite Lang Zhong for him, Lang Zhong is a good person, I don't see that I collected money, but all my money added up to only enough for my grandfather's medicine.
Medicinal herbs were extremely scarce in the war years.
However, a son-in-law in the capital was willing to buy me to go to his house for ten taels of silver to do errands, and I thought that my grandfather was saved, so I happily went.
But I didn't think that this boy had a strange fetish, so I injured him and ran out that night.
I hid in the garbage heap until the next night.
But I was so hungry that I stole a man's purse.
In fact, I don't do less petty theft, I usually steal some buns to eat, but this is the first time I have stolen someone's money bag.
Because I wasn't very skilled, I was quickly caught.
The owner of this money bag was a young lady, and she was dressed in blue satin, which was extremely beautiful, like a fairy in the sky.
The maid beside her said she would send me to the government.
For people like us, the government just has a life to enter but not to leave.
She stared at me for a long time, then shook her head and said to the people around her, "Forget Lingyu, it's just a child." ”
This person named Lingyu didn't stop until she heard this, she looked at me and smiled softly, squatted down and stretched out her hand, I thought she was going to do something, and subconsciously ducked back, but she just smiled and rubbed my hair.
The man named Lingyu frowned and whispered, "Xiao Zhao, dirty." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly stood two steps back and couldn't help but lower my head, but she smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, I think the Terran children are quite cute." ”
Then she asked me, "What's your name?"
"They all call me Little Leaf. I told her that because I didn't have parents, I didn't have a name.
"Are you hungry?" she asked me with a smile again, and I looked into her eyes, which were so clear that I could even see the reflection of the light in her pupils. I was a little stunned for a moment, but my stomach was screaming out of place.
She and Lingyu chuckled at the same time, and Lingyu looked at me and sighed, handing me the rock sugar gourd in her hand.
I was a little afraid to answer, but she smiled at me and said softly, "Go on." ”
Only then did I carefully take Lingyu's rock sugar gourd, and carefully did not touch Lingyu's hand.
She looked at me with a smile, took out some broken silver from the money bag and put it in my hand, took off the fox mask on her head and put it on for me, and said with a smile: "Don't do anything about stealing in the future, take the money to find a master, learn a craft, and survive, little flower cat." ”
She smiled and nodded my forehead, got up and disappeared into the crowd with Lingyu.
Later, I went to Lang Zhong with the silver, but by the time I led Lang Zhong over, it was already a step too late.
Then I visited a mask-making master and worked with him to make masks.
I often want to draw her face on the mask, but when I put pen to paper, I don't think the vermilion ink can show half of her charm.
To me, she is the moon in the mirrors, the moon that is out of reach.
But I always look forward to seeing her one day, maybe there are gods in this world, and I really saw her again, on that day.
"Your mask is beautiful, how much is it? ”
When she showed up when I was bored, I crouched under the counter and cleaned up the paint, and replied, "Ten dollars." ”
"We want this. ”
"Good. ”
"The money is on the table for you. ”
"Haole!" I just straightened up to collect the money, but at a glance I saw the ice-blue figure, the copper plate in my hand fell to the ground, I opened my lips, but I couldn't get half of it.
I don't know her name.
"Silly boy, what are you stunned about. Master came over and patted me on the head, but I didn't care about it, so I dropped the copper plate in my hand and rushed straight into the crowd.
I saw her faint figure all the way up the current to find her, but it was crowded, and in the blink of an eye she was gone.
But I don't want to give up the opportunity to find her.
Finally, I saw her wearing a mask by the float, and I ran towards her with joy, but the crowd surged up, and I squeezed all the way to her, and finally let me squeeze behind her.
I was about to call her, but when I saw that the lamp on one side was actually crowded, I hurriedly blocked behind her, but accidentally pushed her.
When she turned around, she saw a person hugging her, and that person looked at his clothes and bearing, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
I looked at them, and they were a good match.
I knew I wasn't worthy of her, but I was never reconciled.
