Qi Nuan was frightened by the young man who was staring at her viciously, and backed away again and again.

She turned to look at Qi Qingxi not far away, with tears in her eyes: "Sister."

Seeing this, Qi Qingxi rushed forward and hugged her to comfort her, "Don't cry, Ah Nuan, what's going on?"

She just stood across the street and watched Ah Nuan walk by, the little girl shrank into the alley, then Ah Nuan handed out the candied haws in her hand, and then she saw Ah Nuan step back a few steps and turned her head, her voice choked up shouted at her.

She looked into the alley, and after seeing Qi Qingxi, the young man lost his ferocity just now, and even started to stutter a little.

"You...what do you want to do to my sister."

With this posture, I'm afraid they are regarded as human traffickers who abduct children.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, my sister just wants to treat the little girl to eat candied haws. Since I have already given the candied haws to your sister, let's go first."

Qi Qingxi took Qi Nuan to leave, the young man turned his head and saw the candied haws in his sister's hand, he stood there watching the two leaving, feeling a little at a loss.

In order to comfort Qi Nuan who was raped for doing good deeds, Qi Qingxi planned to take her to a dim sum shop along the street to buy some mung bean cakes.

They went shopping there before and took a look, Qi Nuan seemed to be very interested in the mung bean cake there, even if it was a reward for her.

In addition to mung bean cake, Qi Qingxi also bought a pack of dragon beard cake.

Qi Nuan asked her why it was called dragon beard cake, mung bean cake is made of mung beans, is dragon beard cake really made of dragon's beard, but she has never seen a dragon, how did the dim sum chef get the dragon beard? What about beards?

Qi Qingxi couldn't help laughing, she teased Qi Nuan: "This dragon beard was not found by the dim sum master, it was pulled out by Nezha when Nezha made troubles in the sea. It has been stored for thousands of years. When making dim sum, use scissors to cut it Come down. Has Ah Nuan heard of Nezha making trouble in the sea?"

"Um"

Qi Nuan nodded. When she was very young, she heard her elder brother tell the story of Nezha making trouble in the sea.

It was said that the old dragon king was going to flood the little Nezha's house, so the little Nezha rode on the old dragon king's back, peeled its skin, and cramped its tendons.

Unexpectedly, I also plucked the beard of the old dragon king and left it for everyone to make dragon beard cakes.

Suddenly Qi Nuan frowned and asked: "Then sister, if the dragon beard is used up, will there be no more dragon beard cakes to eat?"

If this is the case, she will never eat the dragon beard cake after eating this time, and she has to save some for those who haven't eaten it yet.

Qi Qingxi laughed happily after hearing Qi Nuan's words.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of cursing and wailing from the dark alley next to her. They were all children's voices. It didn't sound like they were fighting, but more like bullying.

She walked into the alley frowning, and sure enough, she saw several children beating and scolding another young boy, and a younger girl was squatting on the ground with her head in her arms, crying heartbreakingly.

Qi Qingxi rushed forward and shouted: "What are you doing?"

When the group of children saw an adult coming, they immediately dispersed.

Qi Qingxi walked over to help the young man who was beaten up with a bruised nose and a swollen face. It was the same young man who stared and cried Ah Nuan in the next street.

It turned out that this alley connected two streets.

She went to pick up the crying little girl who was squatting on the ground and softly comforted her.

"How are you, are you okay?"

The young man wiped his nose, dried the blood from his nose, and shook his head.

At this time, a woman in gray clothes hurried over not far away, took the boy by the arm and beat him on the ass: "I just went to fetch a bucket of water and you got into a fight with a child, what a shame!" It's getting better and better, huh?"

"They snatched Xiaohua's candied haws and scolded us for being raised by mothers but not fathers. I was so angry that I fought with them." The boy replied with a stubborn look.

The woman was startled when she heard the words, and then she immediately came back to her senses and continued to beat the boy with her hands: "Why, did someone say something wrong? You are a fatherless one. Also, where did you get the money to buy candied haws? ? How do I usually teach you, people are poor and ambitious, and dare to steal chickens and dogs."

Qi Qingxi was extremely embarrassed standing next to her, she never imagined that a candied haws could cause such troubles.

"My aunt, I gave you the candied haws. Don't blame the child." She persuaded.

Only then did the woman see Qi Qingxi who was holding the little girl next to her. She restrained her anger and smiled uncomfortably: "Thank you for your help, my house is nearby, why don't you go to my place and have a drink?" Have a cup of tea."

Qi Qingxi glanced at the limping boy who had been beaten, she gently stroked the back of the little girl who was still sobbing in her arms and nodded, then turned around and signaled Ah Nuan to follow her.

The woman's home is at the other end of the alley, in an old small courtyard.

She first helped her son into the yard, then took her daughter from Qi Qingxi, and asked sister Qi Qingxi to enter.

The yard is small, with two tile-roofed houses and a small kitchen. There is a pear tree on the left hand side of the entrance, with luxuriant branches and lush greenery.

There was a big wooden basin under the tree, and the basin was full of clothes waiting to be washed. There was a small stool next to the wooden basin. The boy was sitting on the stool and rubbing his injured leg.

The woman went into the room and brought out two chairs for the two sisters to sit on, and went to bring two glasses of water to them.

Seeing that Qi Qingxi was looking at the pot of clothes, she pretended to be relaxed and said: "The man in the family went to the army two years ago, and he didn't come back a word after that. Now he doesn't know how to live or die. I will take some loose jobs to earn a few copper coins, and then I will pay for it." Good for two kids."

Qi Qingxi nodded to express her understanding, she patted Qi Nuan's head and said: "My parents are gone, now I live with three younger siblings."

The young man on the side looked at them in surprise. Seeing that the two were well-dressed, he thought they were rich ladies who wanted to tease their brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect that they were even more pitiful than them. At least he still had a mother.

Qi Qingxi glanced at the young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face and asked again: "I don't know what to call my aunt, but it's all my fault, otherwise I think I should take this little brother to the medical clinic?"

"Just call me Aunt Osmanthus. My son is Zhang Shu, and my daughter is Zhang Lihua." Liu Guihua pointed at her son and daughter with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "No, it's not the first time, just rub some medicinal wine and rest for a while." It will be better in just one day. Besides, you are feeding them with good intentions, so how can you be blamed."

If you want to blame, you can only blame those little bastards who have killed thousands of knives, bullying her children all day long, and those adults are not fun, thinking that she doesn't know that they are planning her behind her back, and she doesn't want to talk to them.

Qi Qingxi looked at the pear tree in the yard, and felt that the names of the brother and sister were very appropriate, but also felt that they were a little perfunctory.

Zhang Lihua stopped crying and was sharing mung bean cake with Qi Nuan.

Qi Nuan took a piece of mung bean cake and walked up to Zhang Shu, and said timidly: "When I was unhappy or sick when I was young, my mother would make mung bean cake for me to eat. After eating, everything will be fine, and I will eat it for you too."

Zhang Shu took the mung bean cake and thanked him uncomfortably. After taking a bite of the pastry, he said softly to Qi Nuan, "I'm sorry."
