Your Majesty, he has a backache and brain fever

Although the emperor occasionally hated Xia Moshi, at the same time, because he was the youngest son who had never grown up with him since he was a child, he rarely felt a little bit of admiration for him. , and because Xia Moshi didn't admire and respect him, he came up with the idea that this is the father and son, and even felt that this seemed to be more comfortable than the old-fashioned and cold relationship between monarch and minister.

At the same time, the emperor inevitably invested more and more love and indulgence in Xia Moshi. Even when Xia Moshi was seven years old, the emperor gave the seventh prince a token that could freely enter and leave the palace as a gift from his father. Xia Moshi gladly accepted his son's birthday gift, and since then, he has been running out even more frequently in the name of going out for fun.

At first, the emperor complained about his playful behavior, but Xia Moshi's elder brothers were quite satisfied with his performance, so they kept saying good things about him in front of the emperor. The father-in-law's three-inch tongue, the emperor really turned a blind eye to his behavior.

By the time Xia Moshi was eight years old, he was already familiar with the characteristics of each small shop, restaurant or alley in the capital, and he was even more familiar with the streets and routes in the capital. cooked.

For more than a year, Xia Moshi went out of the palace not all to avoid the range of activities of those princes, nor purely because of pleasure, but because he thought of the difficult situation after he became the throne at the age of 16. The idea of ​​cultivating confidants since childhood.

However, the most he sees every day are the children of aristocratic families. Regardless of other things, the word aristocratic family alone is destined not to be his first choice.On the contrary, it was in the slums in the north of the city that this matter took a turn for the better.

On this day, the fifth day of March, because it was Gu Yan's birthday, Xia Moshi helped to obtain grace from the emperor, and Gu Yan was allowed to go out of the palace with Xia Moshi to relax. With a childlike appearance, he dragged Xia Moshi to run around the capital, so, thanks to him, just as the two of them were carrying a bag of fried chestnuts they just bought, they only peeled one before throwing it into their mouths. There was a bang from the sky, obviously the rhythm of rain.

In the end, after Xia Moshi dragged Gu Yan to run for a while like two runaway wild dogs, he finally rushed to a ruined temple before being drenched in water. Xia Moshi panted heavily disregarding his image , looked around, although there is nothing displayed in this dilapidated temple, but the environment is still clean, it looks like someone often comes to clean it.

As for who this person is, Xia Moshi glanced at it, and it was probably the child curled up next to the futon. The child was lying on the "bed" made of straw, curled up into a small ball, dressed in shabby clothes, with a yellow and thin face His appearance makes people feel that he may die at any time.

The child sensed the intrusion of outsiders, so he only raised his head slightly, opened his eyes and glanced lazily, and then stared at them blankly. Xia Mo could see that the eyes of this person There is surprise but no envy, and there is also a hint of self-ashamedness, shrinking himself even smaller, as if this can make people ignore his existence.

Xia Moshi hadn't seen a more timid person in his previous life for a long time, and he showed kindness for a while. In the conversation without saying a word, he directly bought the bag of fried chestnuts that Gu Yan had just bought and the one he had just bought for the toothbrush festival. I gave him a few sesame seed cakes, and when the rain stopped outside the door, Xia Moshi took out the last piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into his hand. He patched the hole, and casually took off the robe that was a little wet on his body, and left it to the unknown boy.

Gu Yan was stunned by this series of acts of kindness. He didn't expect Xia Moshi to have such a loving side. He was so amazed that Xia Moshi threw him into the ruined temple with disdain, and walked out by himself: "If you like to get wet in the rain, you can stay here without leaving. The rain in late spring is the most capricious, so don't blame me for not reminding you."

Gu Yan looked at the sky outside. He really had to hurry up, otherwise he might be trapped in the outskirts of the city overnight, so he ran out, and vaguely heard the child behind him shouting: "My name is Shen Yunqi, I I will definitely repay you in the future.”

I don't know if Xia Moshi heard it, his footsteps didn't stop at all, he just waved his sleeves slightly behind him indifferently, and finally the two of them entered the palace gate before the sun set.

On the sixth day of the next day, the sky cleared up. According to Xia Moshi, it was definitely a sunny day especially suitable for traveling. Thinking of the young boy named Shen Yunqi who yelled the words that he would repay him in his immature voice yesterday, he went back to Walked to the temple along the fastest route in memory.

When he arrived, he found that there was no one there, only the snow coat with ink bamboo embroidered on the cuffs that he dragged down yesterday, which was discarded on the empty incense table. It is not so accurate to say that it was discarded, after all, Shen Yunqi He folded it neatly, probably because he didn't like it but didn't want to disappoint his good intentions.

Looking around, there was indeed no one. Could it be that Xia, isn't this the child's foothold?

Xia Moshi shook his head, he was really stunned, who said that if he appeared in the ruined temple, he must live here, didn't he drag Gu Yan in to hide from the rain yesterday?Isn't that piece of clothes folded on the desk the evidence that he came yesterday?

He was walking back, and just a few steps out of the temple gate, he saw a short and strong little fat man leading a few children in gray clothes, looking fiercely towards this direction As he walked, a small black speck ran wildly and rolled up smoke and dust, like a black whirlwind, and he could only see it clearly when he was a little closer. Isn't this the severely malnourished boy he saw yesterday? Unexpectedly, this Physical endurance is quite remarkable.

Having nothing to do, Xia Moshi took a few steps to the side, and found a locust tree with the thickness of a person's waist nearby. He leaned on the trunk and looked up at the almost covered sunlight. Looking at the movement over there.

I saw Shen Yunqi forcefully grabbing the little fat man's sleeve to slow him down, but he was dragged forward a few steps because of the huge difference in physique. Mo Shi couldn't quite hear what the hell they were arguing about. He could only see that the relationship between the two parties was not very friendly, and Shen Yunqi was obviously on the weaker side. Those who can suppress Shen Yunqi's head are commonly known as the number of people.

Xia Moshi had no intention of going forward to help, but just stood with his arms folded under the shade of a tree and watched coldly, as if he was listening to music and watching a play in a teahouse or restaurant, he was dazed for a while and then casually glanced at the noisy place .

Seeing the child snatch a familiar-looking oil-paper bag from them while they were pushing and shoving, and saw a piece of broken silver falling out of his sleeve, and the reason why Xia Moshi The reason why he can see so clearly is purely because of his good eyesight and the sunlight is too bright. When it hits the silver, turning it upside down reflects the light to him. It is so dazzling that he has to tilt his head and dodge to the side. one time.

This ingot of silver was snatched by the little fat man with quick eyesight and quick hands, and he put it into his pocket and covered it tightly. It was other gadgets. In short, except for the clothes, he basically left nothing else.

Seeing them each grab a handful of fried chestnuts from the oil paper bag and eat them separately in front of him, Xia Moshi suddenly realized, no wonder he looks familiar, this is not the candy he threw to the child yesterday Roasted chestnuts?

Strange to say, Xia Moshi himself didn't know which muscle he made a mistake yesterday, maybe it was because he saw the child looking pleasing to the eye, so he casually showed kindness. It was an unintentional act of kindness, but he didn't expect But it caused the robbery of his companions.

Looking at the faces of those bullies, Xia Moshi secretly sneered in his heart: This is the unbearable nature of human beings. As long as there are conflicts of interest, let alone poor little ones like them who can't eat enough or keep warm, even their own brothers can't bear it. He could turn against each other, just like those emperor brothers who were extremely stupid and did not die well in the end.

Seeing that the food was divided up quickly, Shen Yunqi's eyes were so red that he was about to cry, and his pretty face was also stained with dust, dirty, looking like a little beggar, Xia Moshi suddenly lost Out of the mood of watching a play, he turned around and left.

But I heard the child shouting angrily from behind: "Stop! This is mine, why give it to you." Different from the cowardice and cowardice just now, these words are very powerful and imposing. Of course, this power is simply from the volume from above.

Xia Moshi turned around again with great interest, and found out that after the gang of children robbed him of food and money, they didn't think it was enough, so they made up their minds to go to the small temple where he lived to see what was worthwhile inside. He didn't hesitate to take the risk of being beaten and scolded for his precious things, and dared to get their hands on their leader, the little fat man.

Then, a child who was closest to the entrance of the temple spotted his gorgeous robe on the incense table with sharp eyes.

These children from poor families living in market villages have probably never seen such smooth and bright clothes. Although they are only dressed in plain snow clothes, they still have such a fucking luxurious feeling just by looking at them.

Unlike themselves, they are mostly wearing old clothes that have been patched layer after layer and handed down from their brothers and sisters. Even the darkest black has been soaked to white for many years. It gets old when rubbed.In their cognition, the best-dressed child is the fat son of the butcher's family in the next street, that is, the little leader of the mob in front of him. Although he also wears sackcloth, it has never been patched.

But at this moment, after seeing Xia Moshi's clothes, everyone suddenly felt that the clothes of the butcher's fat son were nothing more than mediocre.Everyone has the so-called love of beauty and vanity, so each of them couldn't help but want to touch this dress.

Who knew that Shen Yunqi was angry at this time, and everyone knew that Shen Yunqi got it somehow, and the little fat man didn't pay attention to him at all, and took it away after touching it with his hands.Then there was an angry shout from behind that Xia Moshi had just turned around.
