Old things in Nancheng

Lin Zhilan looked at it and said in disbelief, "Why is it you!"

"Miss Wang, do you recognize him? I saw this kid sneaking outside and looking in. Is he the one following you?" The man threw the man on the ground and asked.

"My family recognizes him, it's just..." Lin Zhilan was surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you follow me?"

The man was ragged and unkempt, and he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his hair was loose and covered half of his face, Lin Zhilan recognized him as the little beggar who gave him wontons.

Lin Zhilan's back was a little cold, and she gave him food out of sympathy. If he entangled her because of this, wouldn't it be leading a wolf into the house!Could it be that good intentions are really not rewarded these days?

"Quickly tell me, why are you following Mrs. Wang! If you are stubborn, we will send you to the yamen!" the man threatened.

The little beggar struggled to get up, rustled, and said in a very low voice: "The road at night is dangerous, I want to send Mrs. Wang home."

Although the voice was extremely soft, Lin Zhilan and the others could hear clearly, it turned out that this was a repayment of kindness.But the guys didn't believe it. One guy grabbed the little beggar's arm and said with a bluff, "Don't lie here, tell me quickly, are you going to steal her money by following Mrs. Wang!"

"No, I'm not, how could I do such a thing. Mrs. Wang often brings me food, and it's too late for me to thank her. How can there be malicious intentions." The little beggar explained in a panic.

"I said you kid, do you think we are stupid, who will follow the little lady all the way at night!" The panic of the little beggar made the guys even more disbelieving.

"I really have no malicious intentions." Regardless of the attitudes of the guys, the little beggar only looked at Lin Zhilan, hoping that she would believe in him: "Last night, I heard a news that the gang of beggars in the grocery store said that their lives are passing. If you don’t go down, you want to come to Dongshi to grab things, I am afraid that you will be bullied by them, so I have been following you."

Lin Zhilan kept looking into the eyes of the little beggar. Although the little beggar was very scared, his eyes did not escape, and he calmly accepted Lin Zhilan's scrutiny.

"Brothers, this child seems to be telling the truth." Lin Zhilan said.

"Miss Wang, do you trust him?" the guys asked.

"Although I don't believe it very much, but there are six or seven points." Lin Zhilan thought for a while, and said: "This matter is better to be believed than not to be believed. If you don't want to go to the yamen and talk to the arresting adults, it is also considered to be true. Take precautions, otherwise, our entire East City may suffer."

The shopkeeper of the rice shop also came over at this time, and sent a young man to inform the Yamen according to Lin Zhilan's wishes, and told the men not to go home today, but to guard the shop.

"Miss Wang, you have to be more careful yourself. Those poor ghosts are all dead, and they don't care about the consequences. I'll send a guy to take you home."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Sun."

Lin Zhilan was sent by the rice shop guy, but the little beggar still followed her not too far away, until Lin Zhilan entered the gate of Yang's house, the little beggar was relieved, but he did not leave, but squatted at the gate of Yang's house , as if to guard Lin Zhilan.

Back at the Yang family, Lin Zhilan put this matter behind her.Let’s not talk about whether the beggars will come to grab things, just say that there are so many shops in Dongshi City, there are not a few big rice shops, butcher shops, and silk and satin shops. My own small wonton shop is not worth the effort of beggars. Smash and grab.

On the second day, Lin Zhilan got up early to open the shop as usual, but the incident of beating, smashing and looting that the little beggar mentioned did not happen in Dongshi. I can't see any of them.In the afternoon, Lin Zhilan went to the small alley to look for the little beggar with doubts, but the little beggar was not there.

For three to five days like this, the guards no longer stepped up their patrols because the East Market was calm and calm, and shopkeepers who were in the limelight no longer specially arranged for the shopkeepers to stay in the store to watch the night. The surface of the East Market was still bustling, but the little beggar never appeared This made Lin Zhilan even more uneasy.

If the little beggar hadn't lied to herself, Lin Zhilan felt that it might not be that simple. She had learned about beggars from Zhao Liu, who used to live on the pier, and knew that the beggars in Zashi and Dongshi were not so much begging for food for a living. Said to be a group of lazy bastards.After all, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, you can make a living as a coolie on the dock, and you don't have to lose your dignity to be a beggar.

Seeing that Lin Zhilan was frowning, Zhao Liu comforted her, "Ma'am, I will stay in the shop and watch from tonight, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you for your hard work. After this period of time, I'll give you extra money." Lin Zhilan felt that Zhao Liu's proposal was in line with her own wishes. This shop was her painstaking effort, and she couldn't let accidents happen to the shop.

With this matter in mind, Lin Zhilan closed the shop early for safety reasons.She was walking on Dongshi Street, and she vaguely saw beggars who hadn't shown their faces recently, gathering together, as if they were discussing something.This made her uneasy even more intense. She wanted to go back to the shop and confess to Zhao Liu, but when she turned around, she found that the little beggar who had disappeared for many days was winking at herself in a corner.

"Lady, go home!" The little beggar bravely walked to Lin Zhilan's side, and left these words as he passed her.

"Don't go!"

Lin Zhilan hurried a few steps, and calmly dragged the little beggar back to Yang's house, but it was at the door of Yang's house, and the little beggar refused to go in anyway.

"Are they going to act tonight?" Lin Zhilan asked seriously.

"En." The little beggar nodded.

"Then we must notify the Yamen!" Lin Zhilan said.

"It's useless, there are many of them, and they are well-informed, even if the people from the yamen come, they won't be able to catch them." The little beggar said with his head down.

"So what can we do?"

"Just stay at home, and we will come out after they leave." The little beggar looked helpless, and reminded: "Lady, you must not do anything stupid, if you let them know that you tipped the news, you are in Dongshi I'm afraid the shop here is going to have a bad day."

It is true that the little beggar said that she is a mere little girl, what can she do, Lin Zhilan is only worried about whether her shop will survive the disaster at this time, and she does not care about the safety of other people.

"Come in with me." Lin Zhilan said, no matter what, the little beggar took the risk to inform her, and she didn't want the little beggar to have an accident in Dongshi tonight.

"My lady, I won't go in." The little beggar hesitated and said, "I'm dirty."

"Come in." Lin Zhilan insisted.

Twitching, the little beggar entered Yang's house, Mrs. Yang came out upon hearing the sound, and asked in doubt when she saw him: "Miss Wang, who is this?"

"Grandma Yang, this is my distant nephew who is the head of the family. His family has suffered a plague, and his parents have left. Now there is only this child left. He came all the way begging. It's so pitiful. Although my head of the family is not here now, but I do My aunt can't drive a child into the street." Lin Zhilan was afraid that the Yang family would not agree to let the little beggar into the house, so she had to panic.

"Oh, what a pity, look at how much this child has suffered." Mrs. Yang believed in Lin Zhilan's words, not only did not chase the little beggar away, but also asked him to wash up by the well.

Lin Zhilan went back to the house, found a set of Wang Zimo's clothes for the little beggar, and then started cooking. Thinking that the little beggar would not have enough to eat outside, she made two more dishes on purpose.

The little beggar washed very seriously by the well. He didn't want to embarrass Lin Zhilan because of him. He hadn't taken a good bath for a long time. In the autumn night wind, the little beggar rubbed himself hard with a loofah towel. Layers of skin mud fell off, and rubbed again and again until the white skin inside was exposed, until the skin was rubbed red, and then the little beggar used some saponins and washed it again from head to toe.

Wang Zimo's clothes fit the little beggar very well. After all, he is a man. Although he is a little younger, his body skeleton is there. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is wearing the old clothes that Wang Zimo wore when he was 15 years old. , Under the moonlight, Lin Zhilan was dazzled. When she saw the face clearly, Lin Zhilan turned around.

"Oh, I can't tell, this child is clean and handsome, but he is somewhat similar to Wang Shuli." Mrs. Yang was shocked when she saw the clean and shy little beggar. Two people.

"The meal is ready, let's go into the house." Lin Zhilan had a slight smile on her face, but she still felt a little sad when she remembered Wang Zimo in her heart.

The little beggar held his rice bowl and did not dare to sit with Lin Zhilan. Under Lin Zhilan's repeated request, the little beggar sat half his butt next to the stool.

"Eat it, you're welcome." Lin Zhilan found out that the little beggar was cramped, and took a piece of meat for him.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of Bao'er grinning "Yi Yi Ya Ya" from time to time, Lin Zhilan saw that he had eaten up all the rice in his bowl, so she got up and filled another bowl for him.

"My lady, there's no need, I'm already full." The little beggar stood up, refusing to accept the rice bowl.

"Young man, when you grow up, you won't be full no matter how much you eat, eat quickly!"

Lin Zhilan stuffed the bowl into his hand, and ate gracefully by herself, giving Bao'er a taste from time to time, which made Bao'er's mouth watering.Bao'er was born when Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan were in the most difficult time, but no matter how difficult they were, the two adults loved Bao'er very much, and they never wronged her with food or food.

Bao'er was hugged by Lin Zhilan, she kept looking at the little beggar with her big black eyes, and the little beggar quietly raised her head to look at Bao'er, unexpectedly Bao'er showed him a big smile.The child's innocent smile calmed down the little beggar's uneasy heart, and he plucked up the courage to say to Lin Zhilan, "My lady, my little lady looks very similar to you, so pretty."

"Bao'er is just a mischievous ghost. Don't look at her being very well-behaved now, she will make trouble when I leave." Lin Zhilan was naturally very happy when she heard that someone praised Bao'er.

"With a mother like a lady, the child is naturally well-behaved." The little beggar also smiled at Bao'er, and when Bao'er saw her, he smiled again. It was so pleasing, and one couldn't help but want to hug her .

"By the way, what's your name, where are you from, and how can you be a beggar at such a young age?" Lin Zhilan found it inconceivable seeing the little beggar's clean appearance.

Hearing this, the little beggar put down the bowl, pondered for a while, and said, "I don't have a name, and I don't know where I am from, and I don't even know how old I am. I have a godmother who works as a beggar. She picked me up."

"Where is your godmother now?" Lin Zhilan asked.

"Many years ago, she got sick and went away."

Although he was a beggar with his godmother, the godmother treated him very well, but as a beggar, he couldn't even afford food and clothing, and if he got sick, he could only die.

"I'm sorry." Lin Zhilan said softly when she saw the little beggar's sad face.

"My lady, you don't have to be like this. It's been a long time. Besides my godmother, my lady is the second person who treats me well." The little beggar waved his hands repeatedly and said.

"I found out that you never hang out with other beggars, is it because they bully you?" Lin Zhilan asked with concern.

"No, it's me... I don't want to be with them."

"why?"

"Because I don't want to be a beggar for the rest of my life!" At this moment, the eyes of the timid little beggar were full of determination.

After dinner, the little beggars competed to clean up the dishes, Lin Zhilan found Mrs. Yang, and borrowed a woodshed from her for the little beggars to live in.

On the second day, Lin Zhilan still got up early. Every morning, she would personally make bread wontons and send them to several long-term orders.It's just that when Lin Zhilan got up, she found that the water in the water tank outside had been filled, and the firewood had been cut and stacked neatly under the wall. The little beggar was sitting on the firewood pile outside her house, and when she saw herself coming out, she smiled brightly .
