beg for chivalry

Ever since she learned that Mrs. Wang's wish was to go to the Tianshan Mountains, Qian Xian'er seemed to have suddenly changed her temper. Instead of doing the handlebars honestly, she transformed herself into a person who only made bad money-making ideas for Wang Xiaoyuan. Dog head soldier.

This day, the streets are full of people, shoulder-to-shoulder crowds.They were wearing dirty linen shirts, and they were dangling on the street like two ground sticks.

When Qian Xian'er looked up, he saw a long queue lined up on the side of the street, with a straight-body servant wearing a green cloth shouting at the head of the line.He took Wang Xiaoyuan's hand and walked over, vaguely heard a general idea, saying that there are wealthy households who are willing to recruit long-term workers, and the wages are very generous, so many people are vying to work.

"Are we going to sneak into a rich family's house and be servants to earn money for dad?" Wang Xiaoyuan raised his head and asked Qian Xian'er.

"Stupid." Qian Xian'er curled her lips, "If you entered someone's house, you would only earn a few dollars a month, and if you had to make up a few hundred taels, would you still die in it for the rest of your life?"

Wang Xiaoyuan nodded: "I understand. I have to find a foolish young master or young master to serve me. It's better to be the one who can't even count. He can give me 200 taels of silver every month."

Qian Xian'er rubbed his head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuan, you look dumb and stupid, but it's easy to understand. Forget it for today, let's not get involved in this matter. Let's go, Mrs. Wang Wait for us on East Street."

But the two of them had only lifted their feet and walked a few steps. When they passed by the side door, suddenly a servant with a dark head poked his head out, hissed repeatedly, and waved to them.The servant was wearing a gauze Tsing Yi, and his expression was rather haughty, he seemed to be a personal servant of a rich man, and he even imitated his master's arrogance.

The two felt surprised, turned their heads and saw that everyone was gathered in a queue like a long dragon, but no one noticed any movement here.Qian Xian'er led Wang Xiaoyuan and walked over, only to see the servant raised his eyebrows and asked impolitely:

"Hey, you two, where are you beggars from? Why haven't I seen you two before?"

Wang Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes, and immediately replied: "Our two brothers came from the south and originally lived by the Xunjiang River, but the house was smashed up by the robbers, and both parents died."

The servant showed a sly smile, "That means, you two have no parents, and there are not many people here who can help you, right?"

"Yes." Wang Xiaoyuan nodded, and immediately saw the servant take out a high-quality trendy silk dress from behind, and said, "Put on this shirt, and the servant will come in a short while. You can follow them for our son , do some business, and you can come back to find your brother in half a day. After the matter is completed, our master will give you five taels of silver."

Qian Xian'er trembled all over, he faintly guessed what this servant wanted to ask Wang Xiaoyuan to do, so he stabbed Wang Xiaoyuan with the tip of his elbow anxiously, and whispered:

"Xiao Yuan, don't let him go. It must be that the son of their family has evaded the tax money, and the yamen servant came to get him, so I asked you to replace him. This is called 'asking someone to replace the stick'. I heard that there are many beggars here. Those who are maimed or killed will be given a lot of money, but they won't suffer!" He said anxiously again: "This dog slave sees that you are born innocent, and can still be a son of a rich family. As for your life...they don't care about it." Don't even care about it!"

But Wang Xiaoyuan shook his head, and said to Qian Xian'er: "The family you sold me to last time, I didn't find any money in it, and the bracelets and beads that I stole were all lacquered fakes... If this goes on like this, I don’t know when I will be able to save all the travel expenses for my father.” He lowered his head, kicked the sand and stones on the ground with his straw shoes, and said in a low voice.

"Although he always likes to sell me, every time I am hungry, it is my father who saves his own food and gives me more than half of it. He has wanted to go to Tianshan for a long time, and I want him Go see my Yi...Yi Niang."

The blue-clothed servant smiled slyly: "So, you agreed?"

"Well, let me go." Wang Xiaoyuan raised his head and said loudly, "But you also have to give me five taels of silver, not less at all!"

Qian Xian'er seemed to want to say something, but the personal servant smiled and waved for the servant behind him to come forward, put the fashionable silk clothes on Wang Xiaoyuan roughly, and dragged Wang Xiaoyuan into the side door with yelling.Qian Xian'er wanted to step forward to stop her, but she was punched in the face, her eye sockets turned purple, and her eyes were filled with gold stars.

The lacquer door was closed with a bang, and Wang Xiaoyuan's figure was hidden behind the door leaf.Qian Xian'er's eyes were red, she threw herself on the door and kept beating, shouting:

"Wang Xiaoyuan! Open the door! Return Wang Xiaoyuan!"

At sunset, the pavements in Langfang were slowly collected, and the paper lanterns in the night market were lit up, and the stars gradually merged into flowing streams.Peddlers selling red sage sachets, steamed buns with sugared meat, and big bowls of hot tea pushed carts and yelled loudly while ringing bells.Qian Xian'er squatted in a magnificent scene, hugging her knees alone, letting the night wind blow her body cold.

A small figure came from the other end of the long street, limping and staggering, and seemed to bump into many passers-by along the way.Everyone glanced at the stumbled doll in surprise, and then turned their eyes away in disgust, for fear that the child's body would get dirty and stain the corner of the clothes.It looked like a little beggar, with dust all over his body, bloody flesh on his back and buttocks, as if he had been severely beaten by a board.

Qian Xian'er hurriedly got up impatiently, and rushed to the little beggar in three steps at a time.Panting for breath, Wang Xiaoyuan's face was as pale as snow, he managed to squeeze out a smile, and took out the things tightly clutched in his arms to show Qian Xian'er.

It was a few broken pieces of silver stained with blood.

"I'm back...I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting for a long time?" Wang Xiaoyuan grinned his teeth in pain, he had to take a breath every time he said a word, his brows curled into a character eight, and tears kept falling from his eyes, "Zao Li Adults are so fierce... They beat me for a long time, has my butt been broken into three pieces?"

Qian Xian'er took the broken silver with trembling hands, weighed it in her hand, and it was not enough for five taels.He walked around behind Wang Xiaoyuan, only to see blood dripping down his face, he was horrified, and said in a trembling voice: "No, it must have been beaten into one piece."

Wang Xiaoyuan's tears flowed down immediately.

"However, this is one step closer to paying for Dad's travel expenses." Wang Xiaoyuan said tearfully, sobbing, "I... I will call them dozens of times, and I will earn enough money..."

"I'll buy some sharp medicine for you, and then I'll call Mrs. Wang." Qian Xian'er said, getting up in a hurry, "Just stay here and don't sit down, okay?"

There was a muffled sound behind her, and Qian Xian'er looked back, only to see Wang Xiaoyuan fell to the ground, limp and unconscious.

Wang Xiaoyuan rested for more than half a month, lying in the bridge hole most of the time, reaching into the river from time to time to touch a few small fish in the river, and roasting them over a fire, eating them with great enjoyment.Qian Xian'er was free at night, so she came to give him medicine, which cost a lot of money.At the beginning, Wang Xiaoyuan only felt that his body was in severe pain. Every time he applied the medicine, he was tormented, and he couldn't walk a few steps. Now he can move a little, but the wound still hurts badly.

"Is it better?" Qian Xian'er asked him after a few days.Wang Xiaoyuan was rolling around on the stone bricks, staring at Qian Xian'er with his dark eyes: "Okay. But my butt still hurts..."

Qian Xian'er smiled and said, "If you can move around, I will accompany you to the East Street. Taige Wang is waiting for us there today, and he said that he wants to treat us to a big meal."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyuan got up and jumped high, but immediately grinned with his hands on his buttocks: "I'll go! Take me!"

The sun was high, but it wasn't too hot, and it was slightly warm in the sun, as if feeling intoxicated.The two wandered to the east street, and saw Mrs. Wang wearing a big hat and holding a fish basket, pretending to be a fishmonger, poking around in the market.When the two of them came in front of them, Wang Taixi browbeaten, dragged them into the narrow alley, whispered in his ears: "Are you two... are you hungry?"

Qian Xian'er and Wang Xiaoyuan touched their empty stomachs and said in unison, "I'm hungry."

This place is in the city, it's not like they can pick some fruits to satisfy their hunger anywhere in the mountains, not to mention that their pockets are never empty, and they don't have a penny.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Then let's go to have a full meal in a while. Today, I have found a good hotel. The lamb belly wrapped in meat and salt and wine kidneys there are excellent." Looking down, I saw Wang Xiaoyuan Staring at the fish basket, the saliva has already dropped to the soles of the feet.

"What are you looking at, there isn't a single fish!" Mrs. Wang took off the lid of the basket to show him, there was no fish in it, only some white clothes, Wang Xiaoyuan sucked back his saliva in disappointment.

Mrs. Wang looked at this little guy again, he was busy stealing chickens and dogs a while ago, so he didn't pay close attention to this kid for more than ten days.At this time, I saw Wang Xiaoyuan's footsteps swaying, and there was a pungent smell of medicine on his body. He was puzzled at the moment, and Fang wanted to ask a question, but Qian Xian'er said suspiciously:

"Brother, we don't have a penny on us, how can we eat good food in restaurants?"

"What I say is what I say. When did your lord speak big words?" Mrs. Wang took out some clothes from the fish basket and shook them out for them to see.Those were a few plain white robes draped in snow with white silk ties, and they seemed to be made of high-quality silk.

Before the two children could speak, he involuntarily put his robe on Wang Xiaoyuan's body, soaked it in water with a rag, wiped his dirty face, and tied a towel on it.Wang Xiaoyuan was used to being put on all kinds of clothes and handed them over to the traffickers. Now wearing this white clothes, he suddenly looked like a little boy.

"This is……"

Wang Tai said proudly: "This is the Taoist robe of the Tianshan Gate. It took a lot of effort to teach me!"

Qian Xian'er was taken aback, staring blankly at the plain robe on her body.Take a closer look, the sleeves of this robe have grain patterns, which are exactly the same as the patterns on the Changle Jade Bi, and the material is soft and fits the body, it is indeed from the Tianshan Gate.Qian Xian'er was very puzzled, and asked: "Brother Wang, why did you tell us to wear the robes of Tianshanmen? And... where did the clothes come from?"

"I knocked out a few disciples of the Tianshan sect and picked them up!" Mrs. Wang patted her chest and said, "A lot of disciples from the Tianshan sect came to the restaurant on the East Street today, so we pretended to be them and went to eat. A few sips of good wine!"
