Chapter 10: Traveling in the World (2)

The boy gritted his teeth and looked at me with a wary expression, like a wild cat ready to bite at any moment.

"I can save your life anyway, and you're like that?" I raised an eyebrow at him, but he still stared at me with that defensive look. I saw his throat move, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it. I didn't wait in a hurry, I used to accompany my father to attend some Nine Heavens Meetings before, and what those Divine Monarchs said was tasteless and dry things, and this back and forth grinded my patience. He finally turned his head away a little awkwardly, and whispered: "You help me pay to save someone, and I will go with you."

I saw that he was so embarrassed, I thought it was a big deal, but I was just shy in my pocket, and I saw that he looked very cute, and I couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" the boy seemed to be a little anxious when he heard me laugh, and a layer of blush appeared on his face. I always felt that he felt familiar to me, but I couldn't put it into words. I looked at him with a smile and nodded, "Okay, what's your name?"

The young man seemed to let down his guard a little, looked at the floor and said, "Everyone else calls me Xiaoyezi." ”

Xiao Yezi took me around a few alleys, and finally arrived at a dilapidated thatched hut when it was almost dawn, the thatched hut was extremely simple, there was a mud floor outside the door, and there was no bluestone paving, and there was a bad smell in the thatched hut, and I couldn't help but cover my nose. Xiao Yezi entered the gate and turned around and rushed to the small earthen house on the side, I saw him carefully carry a porcelain bowl out of it, the bowl seemed to contain some muddy water.

I followed him into the thatched hut, and then I saw a skinny old man lying on the earthen bed inside, Xiao Yezi brought the porcelain bowl to him, and called him in a low voice: "Grandpa, get up and take medicine." ”

As he spoke, he carefully fed the medicine to the old man, and as soon as a spoonful of medicine was fed to his mouth, the old man coughed and coughed it all out. Xiao Yezi patiently helped him wipe the medicine from his mouth and continued to feed the next spoonful. I stood aside and waited for him to finish feeding the bowl of medicine. After feeding the medicine, he stood up and said, "There is a doctor not far away, and he doesn't prescribe medicine when we don't have money. ”

I glanced at the old man lying on the bed, there was already a half-opened flower on his chest, which ordinary people could not see, but it indicated that there was not much left of his life. I took out a few taels of silver from my arms and put them in Xiao Yezi's hand, Xiao Ye held the broken silver, looked up at me gratefully, turned around and ran out quickly.

I fanned the tip of my nose with my hand, the air here was really foul, and I was about to go out to breathe, but the old man's hoarse voice came.

"Girl... You're the master of Little Leaves?"

I stopped, looked back at him, smiled and said, "Sort of." The old man coughed twice and trembled and took out a piece of cloth wrapped in his bosom, and said, "When I picked up this child, he carried this piece of jade with him, and asked the girl to be good and help him find his biological parents." I took the jade handed over by the old man and replied casually: "Okay, you can keep it in peace, I will pay attention to it." ”

The old man coughed twice more and bent down to me with difficulty, and said, "Then I... Thank you, girl. "I looked at the jade wrapped in rags, and thought it was very precious to him.

The sun was not yet noon, Xiao Yezi pulled a person who looked like Lang Zhong rushed back, he was calm and relaxed, but Lang Zhong who followed him was already panting and sweating, I handed him water, that Lang Zhong thanked him, and went to the bed with the medicine box.

Xiao Yezi and I stood in the courtyard, the noon sun was a little stronger, and he had nothing to cover here, I rarely saw this scorching sun, and I couldn't open my eyes for a while. Little Leaf didn't seem to know how to talk to me, but he probably saw that I was squinted by the sun, so he ran into the woods, and soon came out with a large banana leaf in his hand, and held it above my head to block the sun. He was shorter than me, and he looked a little thin because of his malnutrition, and I looked at him and saw that he had a few more scars on his body, which he had scratched when he went to pick plantain leaves.

I took the banana leaf from his hand and inserted it into the mud with a long withered bamboo.

I asked him, "What happened yesterday when I heard that you broke someone's pendant?"

Xiao Yezi turned her head away, hesitated for a moment before replying, "They want me to be a prostitute." I looked at him, and although he was dressed a little shabby and dirty, it was not difficult to see that he did have a good skin, and he was not to be coveted. He said little, and when I saw that he and I had some differences, I didn't ask for more, but found a rough wooden stool and sat with him under the banana leaves and waited.

Lang Zhong didn't come out until the end of the day, he wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Xiao Yezi, your grandfather's condition is stopped, I'll go back and prescribe a prescription for him, just follow the prescription." After Lang Zhong finished speaking, he was about to leave, I glanced at Xiao Yezi and stretched out my hand to stop Lang Zhong.

"He will follow me around in the future, and he can't take care of his grandfather. After I finished speaking, Xiao Yezi was anxious to say something, but he stopped as if he was in a hurry, and he didn't say a word for a long time, only lowered his head. I looked at him and smiled, turned to Lang Zhong and said, "I don't think there is a place that can take care of people better than the medical hall." As I spoke, I gave him a small bag of broken silver and asked him, "Is that enough?"

Lang Zhong looked at the broken silver in the bag, nodded twice and said, "Enough, enough." Xiao Yezi, now you can follow this adult with peace of mind, I will take care of your grandfather, don't worry. ”

I turned my head to look at Xiao Yezi, only to see that his eyes that had just dimmed brightened again, he looked at me, he didn't want to come over, but he didn't come, he was excited for a while, and said to me as if he remembered: "Thank you." ”

After I settled Grandpa Xiao Yezi, as soon as I left the door of the pharmacy, I saw Shabi with a black face and two people in brocade official uniforms following her. Seeing this, Xiao Yezi rushed in front of me, stretched out his hand to block me behind him, and looked at Shabi and the two with a wary expression.

I patted Xiao Yezi on the shoulder to signal that he was okay, and although he withdrew his hand, he still looked at Shabi vigilantly.

I looked at the people behind her and smiled, "What's the matter?

"Male..."As soon as I opened my mouth, I glared at her, and she suddenly realized that she had changed her words and said, "Miss, where did you run away this time, I'm worried about killing me." Broken Bi ran to my side and looked at Xiao Yezi and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"I thought it was too boring for just the two of us to play, so I wanted to bring another one. I looked at the two brocade-clothed men who were still standing in place and asked, "What's the matter with them?" Shatter Bi glanced at me with a half-smile, she gave way to the side, and a magnificent carriage drove up not far away. The little prince walked down with a bandage on his hand and with the help of the maid.

I raised an eyebrow and glanced at Broken Bi, but she smiled and stood aside. The little prince walked in front of me as if he was quite embarrassed, he coughed, and let the surrounding guards retreat before he slowly spoke: "Today I was abrupt... I..."The little prince pursed his lips and became shy, his voice was a little lower, he said: "I passed by a few days ago, and I saw the girl sitting by the window of the restaurant, and I couldn't help it... I've been watching you for days. Girl, you are really beautiful, I fell in love at first sight, I like it too much, I think you must be a heavenly immortal, and only a heavenly immortal can be worthy of a girl, I... I... I really drank before I dared to speak to the girl, I didn't want to bump into the girl, and I asked the girl for forgiveness. ”

I saw that his face was red to the base of his ears after he finished speaking, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at me. I've heard a lot of confessions and the like, but it's the first time I've heard him say something like this, which is both unliterary and direct.

"She forced you?" I pointed to the broken bi on the side, and the broken bi looked at me and quickly shook his head innocently, and the little prince also hurriedly explained: "Definitely, these are the true words of this king!"

I saw that his eager and serious appearance was a little serious, and I guessed that most of it was because of the sincere curse that Crushbi gave people, and he would spit out all the words in his heart.

I shook my head at him with a smile and said, "Thank you Childe for your love, it's just that the little girl's heart is in all directions, and she has no intention of falling in love, so please forgive Childe." ”

The little prince's expression was gloomy, he grabbed the corner of his clothes, took out a delicate ornamented bronze lock from his waist and handed it to me, and said: "I have just been enlightened by Miss Bibi, I have figured it out, it is my persistence, I still want to see the girl, and I ask the girl to accept this lock." I wanted to subconsciously refuse, but when I looked up, I saw that he was looking at me with an extremely hot eye, and I saw that I had changed what I wanted to say from being good.

I accepted the lock, and the little prince was about to go back to the capital, he seemed to be thinking about a few more polite words, but he couldn't bear the urging of his grandmother, and got into the carriage in three steps and one turn. I watched him go away, in fact, I like the smell of money on his body, although it is a little cheesy, but this is also an uncontrollable nature.
