After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang sat at the table and sighed as he watched the three of them eating steamed buns.

If two are not enough, why is there another small one?

She knew that this little girl's name was Yue'er, and she had seen her in the Banyan Garden a few days ago.

"Yue'er, where is your home?" she tried to ask.

The little girl looked like she hadn't eaten in a few days, stuffing large amounts of food into her mouth and ignoring her.

"Yue'er, what are your parents' names?"

Still no response.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but sigh again, and looked at Yan Mu again. He was chewing his food carefully, but he was still choked and hiccupping constantly. She quickly picked up the bowl and fed him a few mouthfuls of mutton soup.

"Eat the steamed buns and drink the soup at the same time, so you won't choke."

He was silent for a while, then nodded.

"It's so cute!"

If he hadn't been outside, Liu Yunxiang would have wanted to kiss him.

After eating the steamed buns, Liu Yunxiang originally wanted to take Yue'er to the nearby area to see if anyone knew her, and then send her home. But Yan Mu went to the big locust tree in front and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Chongming followed him closely, not forgetting to pull Yue'er.

Looking at the three people lined up, Liu Yunxiang rubbed his forehead.

At this time, the waiter from Nanhonglou ran over in a hurry, "Master, go back and take a look, the government officials are here."

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the three of them again, and then hurried back with the waiter.

When I returned to Nanhonglou, I saw several official servants standing outside. She walked inside and saw shopkeeper Hu putting a piece of silver into the hand of the leading official.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. Let's invite a few of you to have a drink."

The leader shook the money in his hand and put it away with a smile, "It's just a routine thing for us. Someone reported that there was a fight here. Since it's okay, we'll leave."

With that said, the leader greeted several officials and left.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, looked at Shopkeeper Hu and asked, "Did something happen just now?"

Shopkeeper Hu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Several waves of guests came, and when they were greeted and sent off, their faces froze with laughter. Where was the fight? When the official came, the guests were so frightened that they all left quickly, especially one of them. The wife of the Minister of Household Affairs liked the silks and satins here very much, but unfortunately she left in a hurry without even leaving a word."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "That's all, let's close the door first. In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Hu, you and the guys will deliver the goods first, and then check the warehouse to make sure there are no mistakes."

Shopkeeper Hu nodded, "Yes."

Liu Yunxiang was thinking about Yan Mu and the others. After telling Shopkeeper Hu, she hurried to the big locust tree and all three of them were gone.

At this time, the beggar ran over and the first thing he said was: "Have you seen Yan Mu and Chongming?"

Liu Yunxiang pointed to the big locust tree, "They were still here about two-quarters of an hour ago. Didn't you see them when you came out of the house?"

The beggar shook his head and wiped his sweat, "We must find Yan Mu quickly."

"Why?"

"Summoned in the palace."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Can't you refuse?"

For Yan Mu, the Beijin Palace was like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. If you go there, you will have to be skinned, and you may not even be able to save your life.

"Once before, the palace summoned Yan Mu, who was suffering from a high fever and unconscious. We told the truth, but someone from the palace soon came and dragged Yan Mu away. He was brought back three days later, and he had already vented his anger. The air intake was low, so Hongzhu rushed to treat him and saved his life. Later, when I asked him, he only remembered that he was locked in a dark room and endured three days without food or water." As he said that, the beggar couldn't help but sigh.

"The third prince is dead. Yan Mu is the murderer of the emperor to the Northern Jin Dynasty. He needs to be on call to bear the anger of the emperor and the harem. If there is a trace of cunning or disobedience, he will only suffer a more serious punishment."

Liu Yunxiang was in shock and pain, but he had no choice but to find Yan Mu first.

The two of them looked around with the big locust tree as the center, until it was almost dark, but no one was found. While they were anxious, a woman came over.

"Are you looking for two young men who are not very clear-minded but good-looking?" After the woman finished speaking, she took a closer look at Liu Yunxiang, "Hey, this girl, we met in the Banyan Garden before! "

Liu Yunxiang nodded quickly, "Have you seen them two?"

The woman sighed, "Come with me."

They followed the woman along the alley and walked around for a long time, and finally heard in front of a large courtyard. There is also a house sign on the courtyard door with the word "kindergarten" written on it.

The woman opened the door and Liu Yunxiang walked in. She saw that the courtyard was quite large. It should be a two-entry courtyard with a hallway in the middle. There is no one in sight in the front yard, and green vegetables are growing on both sides. Walking along the middle path, it was dark because the sun had set. When they walked in, a person suddenly appeared.

Liu Yunxiang was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw an eighty-nine-year-old child emerging from the darkness. He was looking at her blankly, his eyes were very straight, and he looked a little strange.

"Little Douzi, don't be scary!" the woman shouted.

The little guy suddenly grinned, and his look was even weirder. Liu Yunxiang's whole body became hairy with his smile. Fortunately, the child seemed to have succeeded and ran away happily.

"I'm sorry, Xiaodouzi likes to hide and seek," the woman said.

The beggar patted his chest and asked without hesitation: "This child doesn't look normal."

The woman rolled her eyes at the beggar, "He had a fever when he was a child and burned out his brain, otherwise he must be a smart kid."

The beggar pursed his lips and whispered: "There is indeed something wrong."

Liu Yunxiang quickly pulled the beggar's sleeve to signal him to shut up.

When I came to the backyard, I saw about a dozen children in the yard. Some were sitting on the front steps and staring at the sky in a daze. Some were playing together, but their expressions and laughter were weird. There was also a little boy walking around. He ran wildly around the yard, sweating profusely, and his face turned purple.

"Oh, little bastard, you want to tire yourself to death!"

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly ran over and stopped the little boy, took him to the basin, washed his face, and brought a bowl of water from the window sill for the boy to drink.

Seeing the woman busy, the beggar breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems like there are a bunch of little fools here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chongming running out of the house with a wooden sword, followed by Yue'er. As he ran, he turned back and said to the girl: "Sister, when my brother masters his magical skills, he must slay demons. Support justice."

Yue'er obviously didn't understand what he said, but she cooperated very well: "Support justice, support justice."

The beggar shook his head and said helplessly: "Finally we found this fool."

Liu Yunxiang asked the beggar to take a fancy to Chongming, and she went into the house to find Yan Mu.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard a young man's voice: "Master, can you write a few more words for us, so that we can sell them, and with the money we get, we can buy food, and the children will not have to starve. .”

"I can't remember the way home." Yan Mu replied erratically.

"Then you can write a few more calligraphy and paintings for us, and I'll take you home. Is that possible?"

"can."

Liu Yunxiang was speechless. He and Chongming enthusiastically sent Yue'er home. Apparently the little girl remembered where her home was, but they were confused.
