THE A

"It's time to go to bed and eat grapes."

Kaya knocked on the door and walked in.

It was late at night, but when he was outside, he saw that the lights were still on inside. Fulou was sitting at the table in a leisurely manner, holding a bunch of green grapes in his hand, spitting out the skins in his mouth, and seemed to be enjoying himself .

He looked at Jia Ye and made a vague sound with the flesh in his mouth.

"Aren't you going to try it?"

Jia Ye sighed and took a few steps closer: "Taste."

This is the fresh fruit he asked someone to buy today, not so much that he wants to eat it, but because he will not refuse Prince Fulou's request.Because there have been more disturbances in the market recently, Indra has clearly prohibited Fulou from going out of the palace to play, and Jia Ye naturally accompanied Fulou, never leaving, almost wandering outside his bedroom for a few days.

Fulou stood up, took off a small green grape ball in his hand, and handed it to his mouth. "Then I'll feed you."

Jia Ye turned her head away, "Nonsense."

The fruit was forcibly stuffed into the lips, and the intimate action Jia Ye swallowed the skin along with the flesh in an instant. He didn't know what it was like, only a sweetness spread in his mouth.

He looked like he was laughing, and started eating by himself.Jokingly said: "Don't you just want to be fed by me? This prince feeds you, but you don't want to."

A bunch of grapes had already been eaten by him, and Kaye snatched the looted grape branch and threw it on the plate on the table.

"Go to bed."

Ben wanted to take another bunch, but Fu Lou took it away.But he didn't want to sleep, maybe because he got up late during the day, slept a lot, and couldn't go out to wander around the palace, so he was still in good spirits at night.He half opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains and sighed:

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Just as he was about to push out the window, Jia Ye pulled him back into the room, and the curtains fell naturally.

"...you." Fulou stepped back and folded his arms, quite dissatisfied.His height just reached Jia Ye's chest, he could only look up at him, "If you want me to sleep, then you have to stay and serve."

"Where's Yueyi?" Such a feeble request made Jiaye too lazy to look at him, and looked towards the door, as if he hadn't seen the maid all day.

"Don't you know that she blushes when she sees you? The last time she broke the plate because she was fascinated by you, I let her go back to the room today." Fulou bumped against him with her whole upper body, showing a smile that doesn't make sense , sticking out his tongue by the way, like a child. "So, you're going to serve the bed?"

"Go to sleep." Jia Ye held Fulou's shoulders with both hands, with a cold face, and pushed him onto the bed.

"If you don't stay, I won't sleep."

Standing by the bed, Fulou pushed Jia Ye hard on the bed. Of course, such strength was not enough to push Jia Ye down, and it angered the other party.

"If you don't go to bed again, do you want me to hug you up?"

Jia Ye has no expression, her voice is cold, but it seems to be pretending to be calm.

"Jia Ye..." Fulou continued to laugh a few times, and patted Jia Ye's buttocks shamelessly. "Do you know what it means to sleep in?"

Sure enough, his whole body was picked up by Jia Ye and thrown into the bed. The bed was smashed out of a nest, and he was buried in the nest and didn't get up for a while.

Jia Ye went outside the door.

Blowing the night wind back to his room.

Can't get any closer to the floating building.

There is always such a voice to alert myself.

In the past few days, Dasha kindly sent meals, and with the change from begging, Shesha and his younger brother were finally able to fill their stomachs. He usually only had one meal a day. His condition has also improved a lot. Fortunately, his mother's illness has also improved. One night after drinking the medicinal soup, he suddenly woke up and called Shesha's name.

"Mom, you're awake!"

She Sha flung herself in front of the bed, weeping with joy.Mother touched his head and asked weakly:

"Shesha, have you stolen again? Mom is sick now, and will take you to buy food in a few days..."

She knew very well that it was a common crime for children to steal things because they were hungry, but she was powerless to blame because of the poverty of the family.

Shesha wiped her tears and pouted, "Okay..."

"By the way, I have to thank that brother who took care of you these few days. Do you know where he lives?"

Shesha hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"Mom, he's from out of town. I took him to work at Aunt Tina's hotel."

The mother, who had just recovered from her illness, coughed repeatedly as if she had been stimulated.

"Cough...cough...Shesha...how can you ask him to work there...why are you so reckless, you should bring him back quickly, it's too disturbing..." Before finishing speaking, The mother collapsed on the pillow again due to a severe cough. She held her chest to ease the pain, and gently shook her head to indicate Shesha's whereabouts. "Hurry up..."

"Okay!...Mom, wait for me..." Hearing what his mother said, Xiao Shesha was also a little flustered. Of course, he didn't understand what her mother meant, so he just ran all the way to Tina's hotel according to the words.

At this time, the hotel that was operating as half a tavern was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and there was the sound of bottles and cans colliding.

Tina was sitting in front of the counter, half drunk again, she had already received dozens of guests, she obviously couldn't drink any more, so she threw down the last bottle, and said to Dasha who was cleaning the table drunkenly:

"Today there is a regular customer on the second floor. You go up to his room and have a few drinks with him. Just let me rest for a while. You are a young man, there is nothing you can't drink."

Although he couldn't bear to see Tina like this, Dasha still didn't dare to agree easily. He has never drank alcohol since he grew up. He didn't know what it was like, he only knew that he had Will be delirious in the future, and that stuff doesn't taste good either.Besides, it was getting late, he was already exhausted from a busy day, how could he go to drink with him again?

He whispered: "Miss Tina, I can't drink alcohol, I've never drank..."

Tina took his slender arm and rubbed it. "Ah, I'll subsidize the head office for you this time. It's not easy for you to come to the city alone. I mean enough to you."

Startled by such a move, Dasha retracted his whole body and lowered his head.

"Sorry……"

Tina immediately rolled her eyes.

"Dasha, how can you refuse? You must go to me for such a good thing, and take good care of the guests."

"...I'm sorry...I'm tired today..."

Seeing her drunken look, Dasha continued to back away subconsciously.

"Hey, I told you, don't be ignorant of what's good and what's wrong. You eat what I live in and live in what I don't charge you a penny, and you still don't work?"

She slapped her palm on the counter vigorously, and Tina was very dissatisfied. As soon as she opened her mouth, the smell of wine came to her nose. Dasha turned his head away in fear, and didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

"me……"

During the dispute, a strong man who was also somewhat drunk came down from the banister of the stairs on the second floor.He bent over and leaned against the wooden railing, shaking the wine bottle in his hand to Tina.

"Tina, the one you arranged for me, why hasn't it come yet, hurry up and call it up, uh, good wine... good wine!"

This man is dressed in vulgar and simple clothes, his upper body is almost naked, he seems to be one of the few strong men who tried to hook up with Dasha in the hotel a few days ago, and now he is drunk.

Tina glanced at Dasha ambiguously, and got up to catch him.

"Isn't it right here? You take him up to play yourself."

Desperately backing away, Dasha remembered what the woman she met in the backyard last night said, maybe judging from the current situation, what she said was true.

As if suddenly realizing it, Dasha turned around and opened the door of the hotel. The dark street looked like a bottomless black hole. He walked step by step, faster and faster, and his pace became more and more flustered.

run away!

"Oh, you still want to run! Dasha, stop for me, stop for me!"

The door swayed and did not close, Tina twisted her waist and chased after it.

There were three intersections connected to the entrance of the hotel. Dasha didn't know where to retreat for a while, and wanted to call for help, but it was late at night, but no one passed by.

"No, don't...!"

Seeing Tina catching up, her bloated body and drunken mind did not affect her mobility at all, the strong man hurried downstairs to follow her and ran out, and the two of them rushed towards Dasha's position.

On the wall outside the hotel, a bucket of empty wine bottles rolled towards her feet, and Tina was caught off guard and tripped and fell to the ground.

"Ah, ah, ah, which bastard son threw the bottle!" Tina flicked her messy hair in embarrassment, her legs were weak, and she couldn't stand for a while. She yelled at the strong man, "Grab him, grab him! Ah! Don't you want to play with this kid!"

As a result, the man was also tripped by the wine bottle on the ground, slid to the wall and almost lost his footing, groaning and shouting something.

"Brother Dasha! Come here!"

Dasha took advantage of the chaos and fled. Someone was secretly waving at a corner in front of him. He ran closer and took a closer look. This child was Shesha. It was also his credit for rolling out of the wine bottle and entangled the two of them just now. Dasha chased after him and followed Shesha ran in the direction of his house together.

"Shesha?"

About a street away, Dasha slowed down his running pace, panting.His lack of sports skills did not change until he was 20 years old.

Shesha patted his chest, stopped to protect him.

"I have already notified the guards on patrol in the square! Don't be afraid!"

Dasha was still in shock, but as Shesha said, soon two or three guards wearing cloaks rushed into this small street. One squatted beside Shesha to comfort him, while the other two Look around to see if there is anyone who is entangled.

"Thank you, Shesha."

It turned out that Shesha noticed something was wrong when he came, and hurried to the intersection to call the guards.He was very young, but still quite intelligent, and knew that there would be patrols every night.

Tina and the strong man followed Dasha's escape route after a while, but the embarrassed two looked too dangerous, and were stopped by the guards halfway.

"Take it! We are the guards, if we do anything else, we will draw our swords!"

Tina wanted to break free from the guard's obstruction, but her hands were tied behind her back, unable to move.She is a representative of the best hotels in this area. All the younger brothers in the guards know her. Even at night, they can clearly distinguish her. There have been several incidents of her forcing young girls to sell themselves, but there is no The hard evidence brought this woman to justice, and today she just happened to be caught.

Tina's yelling reached Dasha's ears across the street, "Oh, help, it's not me, it's not me..."

He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shesha felt relieved a lot, and explained:

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who hurt you... My mother woke up suddenly today, and when she heard that you saved me, she told me that you can't let you work in this shop! It's all my fault, actually, Aunt Tina... ...she, she..."

Dasha smiled at him, and the previous nervous look had dissipated.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, I've already escaped..."

The little guard guarding the two of them by the side glanced at Dasha several times, and was also about to retreat.

"Are you two okay? This kind of strong man often comes out drunk and crazy. Fortunately, this little brother is smart. If you wait for the incident to inform us, it will be too late! Look at you, you are so thin, you look like a girl, you are all right Don't run to this kind of place, be careful to be watched by others."

Dasha was very embarrassed by his persuasion, so he could only nod silently.

"I'm sorry, I used to work in that hotel...too bad, my money and packages are still there..." Suddenly remembering this, Dasha frowned again. "Ah, what should I do..."

The guard brother shook his head and said helplessly:

"It doesn't matter. In this way, you tell us what your things are, and we can help get them back now. They are all from common people. Our guards will do our best to help."

"Thank you...thank you." Dasha hastily shook his hand a few times, making him almost blush.

Afterwards, the guard brother took Dasha to fetch his baggage back, everything was intact, and Tina was taken to the guard duty room for questioning, and Dasha was out of danger.

Before leaving, the rather kind guard stayed a few steps alone.

"My name is Amon. I work night shift and patrol the square. If you have any troubles, please let me know."

Probably because Dasha was frail and lovely, and he was accompanied by a dirty and poor child. The kindness in his heart prompted him to want to help.

Thinking that this person was a member of the guards, Dasha couldn't help asking him about Kayah, "Thank you, Mr. Amon, may I inquire about something?"

"……Please say."

Dasha asked slowly:

"Excuse me, is there a man named Jia Ye in your guard?"

Amon stroked his chin and thought about it, then answered slowly:

"Jia Ye...? Such a familiar name, but it probably doesn't belong to our guards. I seem to have heard of it, but unfortunately I forgot. If you ask other people, maybe it's from the official army? This name I have an impression."

"……Thank you."

Amon sent Shesha to his door before saying goodbye.Now that he had agreed to inquire for him, Dasha felt relieved. After so many days of busy work, he finally took a small step closer to Jia Ye.

At this time, Dasha had nowhere to go, so he naturally decided to stay at Shesha's house temporarily. He decided to squeeze in the inner room and sleep against the wall, so that he could help Shesha clean up his mess. A messy home.While Dasha was making the bed, Shesha's mother and younger brother were both sound asleep. He asked Dasha in a low voice:

"Brother Dasha, do you want to find someone?"

Dasha kept nodding.

"Well... I came to the Imperial City just to find this person. He is my best friend."

Shesha was a little puzzled.

"But, the imperial city is so big, how do you find it?"

Dasha smiled wryly in his heart, "He should be in the army, but we haven't seen each other for many years."

Every night, he couldn't help but fantasize about Jia Ye's appearance now, but no matter how he thought about it, he was just imagining it, and he couldn't be happy.

Hearing Dasha's brother's sullen tone, Shesha also said sadly:

"My dad is the same. He runs a business outside every year to make money, and he comes home at the end of the year. He brings some subsidies for us to live. I don't know how he is doing now. By the way, I want to join the army in the future. I will live in the future." Over the years, I have grown taller and taller."

The two chatted quietly and fell asleep next to each other.

Although they were all unpleasant topics, Dasha decided to help Shesha, a child with a dream, and his wish to join the army, like Kaye, touched Dasha's heartstrings, and Dasha temporarily forgot his troubles .During the few days he lived in, he cleaned the small house thoroughly, took good care of Shesha's infant brother and sick mother, and Shesha's mother's condition improved, and she could even get out of bed. I was very happy when I received the letter from my father from afar.

With Dasha's help, his mother found out the useless rags at home, made some sachets with Dasha, sold them in the market, and made some money.

He looks forward to getting news about Jia Ye every day.

Living up to his waiting, one afternoon, Amon, who was on patrol, brought some food to comfort Shesha's family, and also brought news of Kaye's personal guards in the imperial city.
