In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Jiu obediently took her sister and other beggars in the yard to the place yesterday. As expected, when they went out, they saw that Feng Mazi who came yesterday was already at their door Waited outside.

It seems that they were ignored yesterday, but if they don't go, the members of the Spirit Snake Gang will definitely catch them.

snort!What those Jinwu guards said sounded good, let them beggars choose, but they still didn't give them a chance to choose, they just didn't know what His Royal Highness the King of Shu wanted them to do, I hope they weren't doing hard work!He is not afraid, but his sister is too young.

After they came out, Feng Mazi didn't say anything, just watched them go out to the place where the notice was posted yesterday.

When they arrived at the location, the carriage was already waiting here. There were two carriages in total. As the beggars around rushed over, they quickly squeezed onto the two carriages.

Xiao Jiu took a closer look, and found that almost all the beggars around had come, including the older ones.

Everyone was squeezed into two carriages, and the smell was similar, and no one disliked the bad smell. It made them warmer after being squeezed together. After all, the weather in the morning is still a bit cold.

The carriage staggered towards the west city gate, and when she reached the gate, Xiao Jiu realized that there was already a long line of carriages lined up outside the gate, and the people on these carriages were just like them, beggars.

When they left the city, the team dragged to a far place. With so many people together, Xiao Jiu was not afraid.

When she was about to reach the destination, Xiao Jiu saw some refugees with luggage appearing in the distance, but when they arrived at the industrial area, they divided into two groups with her.

When they were far away, the coachman started to shout: "Get off the bus, get off the bus, after getting off the bus, go to the side and line up."

Xiao Jiu skillfully jumped off the carriage, then carried her sister out of the carriage, and then walked to the queue next to her.

There are government soldiers in clothes to maintain order.

Xiao Jiu noticed that these beggars were divided into six teams, and everyone was walking forward slowly.

In front of them are six large wooden houses built. There are some tables in front of the wooden houses, and people sitting behind the tables don't know what they are doing.

The team moved forward little by little, until Xiao Jiu got to the front of the table, and he realized that the person sitting behind the table was a scholar in a scholar's shirt, a scholar.

The smell on him was not good, but the other party didn't seem to have any expression of disgust, but looked at the two of them first, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Jiu." He answered honestly.

"surname?"

"No." Xiao Jiu shook her head.

"What about you?" The other party looked at the scrawny little girl holding Xiao Jiu in front of her again.

"Xiao Shi." The little girl replied, and then sucked in the snot that had flowed to her mouth with a "suction".

"Does anyone remember?" The other party looked at Xiao Jiu again and asked.

"It's from Chang'an. As far as I can remember, it's from Chang'an. I picked her up outside Chang'an when she was about five or six months old." Xiao Jiu replied.

His hand holding the pen paused, as if he was exerting force, his knuckles were a little white, but soon returned to normal, Xiao Jiu didn't know why he was doing this.

"Your Highness said, if you don't have a surname, would you like to give you the surname Li?" The scholar raised his head and glanced at him, then took a deep breath and asked.

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment. Can she... Can she have the same surname as His Highness?He doesn't care, he can take any surname, but his sister is still young, so she can't live without a surname.

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Xiao Jiu hurriedly said.

The scholar glanced at him again, still using honorifics? "You use this honorific very well, who did you learn from?" Asking, the scholar took out two wooden plaques with numbers 86 and 87 from the side, and began to write on them with a brush.

"That's what I heard. If you speak nicely, you can get more food, otherwise I won't be able to support her." Xiao Jiu scratched her head in embarrassment, no one had praised him yet.

The scholar didn't ask anymore, but silently wrote two names on the two wooden plaques: Li Xiaojiu and Li Xiaoshi.

"This is your name, this is Li, and this is Xiao Jiu. Your sister Xiao Shi doesn't look like a girl's name. I changed her name to Xiao Shi, a poem of poetry." The scholar gave two wooden signs to her. Xiao Jiu explained, oh, it should be called Li Xiaojiu now.

"Xiaoshi, Li Xiaoshi, this sounds good! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Xiaojiu bowed down and saluted with a happy face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiaoshi followed Li Xiaojiu to salute.

"Well, take these two signs with your names on them, and follow them to the back." The scholar nodded and pointed to the back.

Picking up two wooden signs, Li Xiaojiu tried hard to memorize the words on them. Apart from the names just given to them, there were also two characters written with weird brushes on the wooden signs, but he didn't recognize them.

After entering the wooden house behind, he heard some screams. Xiao Jiu was startled immediately, but there was already a middle-aged man waiting for him here. Seeing his appearance, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid." , the inside is bathing you, there are too many dirty things on your body, if you gather together, it is easy to cause plague, your sister... is sick?"

"Hmm..." Li Xiaojiu nodded hurriedly.

"I'm the doctor, so she's going to take a bath. Let's leave here. This side is a woman. You go this way. Come out in a while, and after dinner, come to the medical center to find me. I'll prescribe medicine for you, remember?" If you can’t find it in the medical center, you can ask someone, or look at a red gourd, which is very conspicuous.” The middle-aged man said with a smile.

The gourd was a symbol of doctors in ancient times, just like the modern red cross logo, Li Ke naturally used it directly, but painted it red, which is how the idiom "hanging pot helps the world" comes from.

"Ah, okay...but she's too young." Li Xiaojiu hesitated. He also took a bath, but it was in the river outside the city, and he couldn't take a bath twice a year.

And Xiaoshi seldom washed it, that is, he was scrubbed by him when he was a child.

"It's okay, there is a maid inside to help her wash." The middle-aged man nodded.

Li Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement. When he came here, he had no right to resist. He bent down and explained a few words to Li Xiaoshi. Although she was only three years old, Li Xiaoshi had also experienced suffering in the world and was very sensible. She nodded obediently. , and then walked in through the door next to it.

Li Xiaojiu also walked into the cubicle, and after entering, he saw someone guarding here.

"Take off all your clothes and throw them into this basket." Seeing him coming in, the other party ordered directly.

There were already a lot of tattered and dirty clothes piled up there, and he honestly took off all the clothes on his body without being too shy, there was nothing to be ashamed of, he even ran bare buttocks when he had no clothes to wear.

Throwing all the clothes inside, he hesitated and asked, "What should I do if I can't find my clothes at that time?"

"Your Highness is kind, I have new clothes for you in a while." The man was overjoyed, and cupped his hands in the direction of Shu Wangzhuang.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Xiaojiu was clever, and also thanked Li Ke, before walking inside.

When he entered here, he knew why he heard the screams just now. Someone was rubbing the beggar's back, and the other party used what he didn't know, and it could rub a lot of bubbles on his body.

But because they haven't bathed all year round, scabs have formed on their bodies, even if there are bubbles, they have to rub hard.
