Chapter 241 Xiao Shan'er
Chapter 241 Xiao Shan'er
At this time, Her Royal Highness,
"Water... give me water!" Feng Zhaoyun swallowed hard, his neck was so dry. These idiots had actually forgotten about him for so many days. Not to mention food, he hadn't even taken a sip of water...
Suddenly, the sound of wooden boards being lifted could be heard from the dark cell. A middle-aged man's voice rang out, "Don't go! The general didn't allow us to feed her, so don't act on your own initiative!"
A middle-aged woman was holding a bucket of water. The man grabbed her. She threw her hand, spilling most of the water. "But the general didn't say to let her die. He must not care about her right now. If she dies, it will ruin the general's plan, and you and I will be guilty of a thousand deaths."
After saying that, regardless of the man's pulling, the woman carried half a bucket of water to the door and tilted her head, "Open the door for me!"
The man looked inside and saw Feng Zhaoyun unable to lift his head, his lips chapped. He sighed helplessly and opened the door. "If you want to blame someone, don't involve me!"
The woman came in, lifted Feng Zhaoyun's chin and fed her water.
Feng Zhaoyun drank a few gulps of water, and finally felt a little better. She hadn't eaten for a few days, so she looked up and said, "I'm hungry..."
The woman looked at her, what a beautiful woman...
Woman, "Wait."
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn back, but the man grabbed her and said, "Why? You still want to cook for her?"
The woman pushed him away and said, "Let go. I will take all the blame."
In fact, she guessed that this woman must be of extraordinary identity, otherwise the prefect and the general would not have come to negotiate with her in person. Although she did not hear the content of the negotiation, if they wanted to kill her, they would have killed her long ago.
If I let this woman die and the general blames me, I will die.
The woman opened the door and returned to the yard.
Just at this moment there was a knock on the door.
The two were stunned, and all the secret guards in the courtyard became alert, holding their knives and hiding in the dark corners of the courtyard.
The woman opened the door...
After opening the door, there was a little boy?
The little boy was wearing rags and looked like a homeless person. The woman stuck her head out and looked around, but there was no one else.
Woman, "Kid, why are you knocking on my door?"
The little boy swallowed and took out a broken bowl from behind him, "Auntie, I've been hungry for a few days. Please give me something to eat."
Seeing that he was starving and only bones were left, the woman couldn't bear it anymore. She turned back. The yard was full of secret guards and she was also a border guard. If she brought the little boy in, she would be exposed and his life would be in vain.
After thinking for a moment, the woman said, "Wait for me here."
After she closed the door, she hurried into the kitchen, took out two cold steamed buns, opened the door, squatted down, and handed them to the little boy, "Here you go. Don't come to this alley to play in the future, and don't knock on this door again!"
The little boy took the steamed bun in his hand and looked at the woman. His gray face was full of gratitude. He nodded obediently and said, "Yes, thank you, Auntie."
After saying that, he trotted away.
But as soon as he ran out of the alley with the steamed buns, he was grabbed by several older young men by the back of his tattered collar.
He was taken to an alley where several people were wearing tattered clothes and looked like homeless people.
A man pushed him against the wall. His thin body couldn't withstand such a push. Then he snatched the steamed bun from his hand and said, "You little bastard! You're so brave! How dare you come out of that alley!"
The little boy felt pain on his back. He squatted down and curled up, but stubbornly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes to stop himself from crying, and sniffed.
A man walked towards him while eating his steamed bun, "Why are you crying, you bastard!"
After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to kick the little boy in the head.
At this moment, a small knife flew from not far away and stabbed into the man's leg. The man was suddenly frightened, blood flowed, and his wailing echoed throughout the alley.
Seeing this, several accomplices dropped the steamed buns in their mouths and fled in fear.
The man fell to the ground, blood all over the floor. He held his foot in pain and looked around, but there was no one...
At this time, the little boy was also frightened by the scene in front of him. He forgot to run away and squatted close to the wall, trying to stay away from him as far as possible.
At this moment, Jiuyi came out wearing a veil and ordinary peasant woman's clothes.
She walked slowly towards the man with cold eyes.
The man was so scared that he lifted his legs and crawled back, "I won't dare to do it again, let me go! Let me go!"
Jiuyi walked up to him, glanced at him, and then kicked him in the head, knocking the man unconscious.
The little boy stood there in a daze, not daring to move...
Jiuyi turned around, squatted down, touched the little boy's shoulder, and spoke gently, "Are you okay?"
The little boy shook his head and looked into the eyes of the woman in front of him. "Thank you, Fairy Sister."
Jiu Yiyi smiled, her veiled eyes like the moon, "What's your name? Where are your parents? I'll take you back."
The little boy shook his head, a look of loss on his face. "My name is Shan'er. My parents starved to death. We lived in a village not far away. The government collected taxes, so my parents sold their house and land to raise the money, and brought me here to make a living. In order to give me all the food, they...starved to death."
Tears as big as beans flowed down one by one. Jiu Yiyi felt distressed and reached out to wipe his tears. "It's okay, Shan'er, come with your sister, are you willing?"
The little boy suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, he smiled happily, and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Apart from my parents, no one has ever treated me so gently. Shan'er is willing to go with his sister!"
After saying that, Jiuyi touched his head and took his hand, "Let's go."
Jiuyi took him back to their residence.
This was a deserted house, and the whole city was searching for them, so when they reached the entrance of the alley, Jiuyi made a gesture to silence them, "Shh."
The little boy looked at the other end of the alley. Isn't that the old lady's house?
This place is quite some distance away from the old lady's house, just opposite.
The two entered the house. At this time, Xiao Qingyue was sitting in the inner room. When he saw Jiuyi coming back, he hurried out.
"Any news?"
Jiuyi shook his head.
Seeing the little boy in Jiuyi's hand, Xiao Qingyue smiled, "This is..."
The little boy's mouth is wide enough to hold an egg...
Seeing him like this, Jiuyi sighed helplessly, "Shan'er, what are you doing?"
Shan'er, "What a handsome brother!"
91:........
At this time, Black Hawk came out. After seeing the handsome Black Hawk, Shan'er retracted his gaze and held Jiuyi's hand tightly, "This Black Brother is so scary."
Black Hawk:......
Can we not treat people so differently?
Jiuyi covered his mouth and smiled, "This is Shan'er. His parents are dead. I met him outside the alley and brought him back."
Xiao Qingyue stepped forward and squatted down. "Shan'er, follow me from now on. Wherever I go, you go, okay?"
Shan'er was delighted. How did he become so popular? He was about to agree, but Jiuyi blocked his way and said, "No, Shan'er has to come back with me."
At this time, Shan'er looked at Jiuyi and Xiao Qingyue, and began to sob with some emotion, his little shoulders trembling.
Jiuyi was so frightened that she quickly squatted down, "Shan'er, if you want to follow Master Xiao, then just follow him. Don't cry...I won't fight with you anymore."
Shan'er wiped away her tears and sniffed twice. "No, Shan'er just feels that I'm really lucky today. Shan'er met the old lady in the alley who gave her food, and I also met my brothers and sisters... It must be that my parents are in heaven, blessing Shan'er."
Xiao Qingyue's heart softened. She gently wiped away his tears, took his hand, and led him into the house.
At this time, Jiuyi and Black Hawk looked at each other, as if thinking about something.
There was only a farming couple living in this alley, and they hardly ever left the house. They had paid someone to knock on their door, but it didn't open. How could...
The two followed in.
At this time, Zhu Qing was lying on the bed. His fever had subsided, but the knife wounds on his body were too severe and he could not get out of bed.
Jiuyi went to the table and took the ointment left by the princess, and handed it to Black Eagle, "Wipe Shan'er's back for him. He was just bullied."
Black Hawk nodded, took it and stepped forward.
Shan'er turned around and hugged Xiao Qingyue, causing Xiao Qingyue to laugh out loud. He touched his head and reached out to take the ointment, "It's okay, let me do it."
Black Hawk handed him the ointment.
Xiao Qingyue took off Shan'er's tattered clothes. His back was already bruised. He applied medicine to Shan'er with his cold fingers. Fearing that he would feel pain, he blew on it gently.
Xiao Qingyue, "Shan'er just said that the lady in the alley gave you steamed buns?"
Jiuyi and Heiying were stunned and looked up. It turned out that Young Master Xiao had also discovered it.
Shan'er nodded. "Yes, she lives at the end of the alley. The lady there is very nice and gave me steamed buns."
After saying that, Shan'er lowered his head, seeming a little lost.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Qingyue continued to ask, "What's wrong with Shan'er? Are you unhappy?"
Xiao Shan'er whispered, "Auntie is so kind. I want to repay her when I grow up, but she told me not to come to this alley anymore, let alone knock on her door..."
Xiao Qingyue's slender fingers paused...
He looked at Jiuyi and said, "Could you trouble General Jiu to buy some clothes for Shan'er? These clothes are really not good enough to keep him warm."
Jiuyi clasped his fists and nodded, then pulled Black Hawk out.
When they reached the yard, Jiuyi whispered, "Let's go in and take a look tonight."
Black Hawk nodded....
