Shen Xiaoyan asked for a bowl of porridge, steamed buns, and a plate of fried vegetables. She was so hungry that she quickly finished her meal.

The shopkeeper brought a bowl of water and said with concern: "Girl, it looks like you are hungry, take a rest and drink a bowl of water." ”

Xiao Yan saw that the store cared so much, and she felt even more unhappy. She sighed in her heart, her stomach was full, but how could she pay?

Shen Xiaoyan thought of a way while drinking water, how could she not think of the food money out of thin air, how could this be good?

As the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, and she can't hide it if she has no money, Xiaoyan must have an explanation, otherwise she won't be able to get out of the store.

She sighed, got up and said to the shopkeeper, "Big brother, the little woman is so hungry that she has to eat your meal." I am penniless and can't settle the bill, so please write it down first, and I will definitely repay it in the future. ”

She felt a little guilty and gave a deep bow to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was angry when he heard it: "You are so unreasonable, I am a small business, and I can't sell a few dollars a day, how can I stand eating and drinking for nothing." ”

He saw that Shen Xiaoyan was covered in dust and was very embarrassed, and shook his head helplessly, a lone woman is pitiful enough, it is not good to force it again.

His face was full of unhappiness, and he couldn't pay for it after being busy for a long time, so he asked Xiaoyan to give him a capital.

Shen Xiaoyan's face was ashamed, very helpless, blushing and bowing his head and saying, "Big brother, I don't have a penny, how can I give it?" I'm sorry, my name is Shen Xiaoyan, big brother will write down this account first, and he will definitely pay it back in the future." ”

She was faceless and couldn't explain, so she could only apologize, and then walked out of the store with a cheeky face.

The shopkeeper was very angry, and it was not good to pull a girl, so he scolded angrily when he went out: "You are young, you are handsome, and you are a person who cheats on eating and drinking." You are not even as good as a beggar, not only do you not give a penny, but you eat and drink so righteously, it is really hateful!"

Shen Xiaoyan was so ashamed that she had nowhere to go, she was as gray as a lost dog, bowing her head and leaving in a hurry. She still didn't know where she was going, she just wanted to get out of the place of shame as soon as possible.

She had just walked a dozen steps, and a few people came over and kept looking at Shen Xiaoyan.

......

Suddenly, the cry of a child sounded like more than one, disturbing the silence in the darkness.

Shen Xiaoyan's narration was interrupted by crying, and her heart was uneasy, and she kept looking.

Zhang Yunyan was grieving for Xiaoyan's suffering, angry about the disaster she encountered, and lamenting for her sister's misfortune, when she suddenly heard the child's cry and couldn't help but be stunned. She frowned slightly, puzzled, and immediately stopped to observe carefully.

In the night, no one walked, not even a shadow of activity. Under the moonlight, there was a bamboo forest in front of the left, just outside the walls of the Yan Mansion.

Zhang Yunyan listened carefully, and the child's cry was already crying in the bamboo forest.

She kept making rounds, and wondered, what kind of place is this, how can there be children, and there is more than one?

The poor people of Yanjiazhuang will not live here, and the Yan Mansion will not allow outsiders to build houses here.

Could it be that this is another courtyard in the Yan Mansion?

Zhang Yunyan looked at the tall courtyard wall of Yan Mansion and felt that the property outside the courtyard wall could only belong to the Yan family, and the people who lived here must have something to do with the Yan family, otherwise they would not live close to Yan Mansion.

Could it be that those children are Yan Xiaopeng's descendants?

She quickly denied that the Yan Mansion was spacious, with perfect facilities, strict management, and guarded everywhere, it was the nest of the Yan family and a symbol of noble status, and the Yan family would not live elsewhere.

Not to mention, for safety, the Yan family will not live outside.

Now, the children and grandchildren of the living king of Hades have all died, and even if it is another mansion in the Yan Mansion, there will be no descendants of the Yan family.

Zhang Yunyan was puzzled and asked Shen Xiaoyan.

Xiao Yan has just arrived, and she doesn't know what kind of place this is, and she doesn't know if those children are from the Yan family.

The children's cries were high and low and did not stop.

Zhang Yunyan was full of doubts, turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest, to check and understand what was going on.

The moonlight was obscured by the dense bamboo leaves, and it was pitch black inside, and it could be discerned from a distance.

Shen Xiaoyan was nervous and frightened, constantly patrolling, unable to see clearly in the dark. Nervous, she followed her sister closely.

The bamboo forest was dense, and the cries of children could be heard, and all living beings woke up from their sleep, all of them were terrified, not knowing what was going on.

Zhang Yunyan came to the edge of the bamboo forest and took a look, then entered the bamboo forest, walked straight towards the crying of the children, and soon came to an open field.

The terrain is flat, the grass is bleak, and it is surrounded by lush bamboo forests.

On the opposite side, there is a courtyard on the edge of the bamboo forest, which looks very large. The courtyard wall is high, and inside is a quadrangle courtyard with three entrances in depth. Inside the courtyard wall, there are trees to block it, so you can't see the whole picture.

The cries of the children were in this courtyard.

Zhang Yunyan stopped and observed carefully, the architecture here is exquisite, the momentum is extraordinary, it is by no means something that ordinary people can have, it must be another mansion in Yan Mansion.

She still wondered, how could there be children here? This courtyard would not be inhabited by the next people, could it be the descendants of the living king of Hades?

Yunyan still couldn't believe that even if it had something to do with the Yan family, it wouldn't be Yan Xiaopeng's descendants, and the people of the Yan family wouldn't live outside, let alone children.

Shen Xiaoyan looked at the dark night, listened to the child's cry, was very frightened, and urged Sister Yunyan to leave quickly, there could be no more accidents.

She told Zhang Yunyan that although she didn't know much about the Yan family when she first arrived, she had heard people say that Yan Xiaopeng and his two sons lived together, and it was definitely not the Yan family who lived here. She advised her sister not to delay any longer and to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

When Yunyan heard this, she felt justified, Yan Xiaopeng and his descendants had been eliminated, and the children here were not from the Yan family. Perhaps, it was a relative of the Yan family who lived here, and she thought a little redundantly.

Since she was not a descendant of the Yan family, there was no need for her to ask any more, and immediately got up and left with Shen Xiaoyan.

On the way, Shen Xiaoyan continued to tell about her suffering.

......

As mentioned in the previous document, Shen Xiaoyan ate and drank in a restaurant in the village, and had no money to pay the bill, so she had to leave in disgrace.

The shopkeeper was angry and followed him outside the door and yelled at him.

Just then, several people approached.

One of them looked at the store, then at Shen Xiaoyan, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you, your clothes are untidy, you're covered in dust, and you're going to be insulted by him, is that guy bullying you?" Don't be afraid, just tell the truth, I'll teach that kid a lesson." ”

The man was fat, in his forties, well-dressed, and a rich man.

A few people around him, judging from their attire, are the entourage's family members.

Xiao Yan was a little ashamed and said: "Thank you for your concern, I don't blame him for this, it's because I don't have the money to pay the bill for dinner, I'm sorry." ”

"Oh, I see, isn't it just the money for a meal, why be angry with him. Okay, you don't care, I'll settle the bill. He asked the shopkeeper, "Li Er, how much does this girl owe you?"

The shopkeeper responded: "Master Li, this meal costs ten cents." ”

"I said Li Er, it's worth scolding endlessly for just ten cents? You bullied a little girl, it's really arrogant, you really deserve to be beaten. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master Li, I was angry for a while...... Alas, I'm helpless too. My lord knows that I am a small business, and it is difficult to earn ten cents. Forget it, I don't want it, just give it away. As he spoke, he sighed.

Master Li snorted contemptuously, and glared at the store again: "It's ridiculous to talk about giving away meals for ten cents." Forget it, I won't let you break the bank, I'll give you twenty yuan. ”

He was a little disdainful and asked his family members to send it over.

Li Er smiled and hurriedly thanked him.

Shen Xiaoyan saw that Master Li generously helped and relieved her embarrassment, and she was so happy that she thanked her again and again.

Master Li smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it's not a big deal. Girl, you seem to be very depressed like this, and you are a foreigner who listens to the words, and you don't know where your home is. It's getting late, where are you going?"

Shen Xiaoyan's face was full of sorrow, and she sighed: "Master, the little woman is far away from her hometown and has been homeless, I ...... I don't know where I'm going. ”

Her eyes were moist, she looked at the darkening sky, and sighed silently.

Master Li felt deep pity when he saw that she was alone, very young, and had fallen into such a situation.

It was getting late, and Xiao Yan had nowhere to stay, so he proposed to go to the Li Mansion to stay overnight. After breakfast tomorrow, he will give Xiaoyan some silver taels and arrange for a vehicle to send him home.

When she was in trouble, Shen Xiaoyan didn't expect to meet a good person, she was both surprised and happy, not only did she have a place to live tonight, but she didn't have to worry about going home tomorrow.

She thanked and thanked, and followed Master Li to a large mansion.

It turned out that this old man Li was called Li Wanfu, also known as Li Yuanwai, who lived in this Li family village and was a very famous rich man.

The Lee House is large and has many houses. The courtyard is neat and clean, shaded by green trees, there are flowers and plants everywhere, and there is a faint fragrance, although there are people coming and going, it is very quiet.

Shen Xiaoyan looked left and right, envious of the quiet and elegant environment, and was also relieved to have a place to live tonight. She is very grateful to Master Li, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to spend tonight.

They circled around and came to a house in the back.

Master Li asked Xiaoyan to stay here, and only left after making some arrangements.

After a while, two maids came to serve Xiaoyan with pastries and tea, and brought a new dress for her to change into.

This silk dress is soft and gorgeous, with meticulous workmanship and beautiful style.

Shen Xiaoyan looked at it and admired, she had never worn such a good dress when she was so big. However, admiration is admiration, if she wears such an expensive dress, she will feel uncomfortable. After she thanked her, she resigned again and again.

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in.

Shen Xiaoyan didn't know who it was, so she immediately got up to greet her.

When the maids saw this woman, they all greeted respectfully: "Mama Huang is here, this is Miss Shen." ”

Huang Ma smiled while watching it, and exclaimed: "Miss, you are so beautiful, no wonder the old man likes it so much, even the old body is fascinated by you." She smiled so hard that her eyes were slitted, and she added, "The old body thanked you!"

Shen Xiaoyan sighed secretly, there was no food and shelter, how could there be any happy events.
