[Qing Chuan] Five elder brothers intermittent salted fish

Yin Qi held the half-eaten candied haws in his hand, hesitated for a while and sniffed slightly, then turned his head to look at the bigger and redder candied haws in Liang Shan's hand, with a sad expression on his face when he pursed his lips Reluctantly, he stretched out his left hand and snatched the stick from Liang Shan's hand.

"Here! Here you are!" Yin Qi raised his head, and handed the half candied haws to the ragged child in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Liang Shan pulled the fifth elder brother back into his arms and said in a low voice, "Master, let's go back? This place is not where you stay, so be careful..."

But who knows that before they finished speaking, the refugees who surrounded them saw that Yinqi was a soft-hearted young master, and they gave them all without asking or saying anything. that little doll.They even wanted to ask for something from Yinqi!

"Young Master, Young Master, please do me a favor! Give us a bite to eat!"

"Little official! You have pity on us. My doll is really as big as you. She is so hungry that she is only half-lived. If she doesn't have a stutter, it will be too bad!"

"Yes, me too!"

"me too!"

"..."

Almost instantly, all these chirping voices gathered together, and not only that, those who spoke were not all with the same accent or dialect.For Yin Qi, who has only just come into contact with the world outside the Forbidden City, he is completely dumbfounded.

He could hear everyone's different levels of shouting, weak voices, and even crying.But I couldn't understand... what was the meaning behind these roars.But even if you can't understand, can't hear clearly, or can't understand, you can still see something.

"Hero! Can we help them? What do they want?" Yin Qi stood on tiptoe and pulled Liang Shan's sleeve.

After all, he is still a child who has been soaked in a honey pot all the time. He has never suffered or been hungry, and he has never even seen the rule that a meal is less than seven or eight dishes.To be honest, those ordinary people who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes are still far away from him.

Of course, there is no doubt that he has always been well-educated. Even though he lives in the heavily hierarchical Forbidden City, he has never boasted that he is a noble person who is superior and inviolable.On the contrary, he is kind and enthusiastic, and he wants to do his best to help these people in front of him.

Besides, it was not a rare thing for him, Yin Qi held Liang Shan tightly and wanted him to squat down.Liang Shan was always watching the refugees around him on guard, if it wasn't for his elder brother's vigorous action, he might not have noticed it.

"What's the matter, young master?" Liang Shan stretched out his hand to hold Yin Qi tightly in his arms, still asking patiently.

Yinqi only put his hands on his shoulders, and leaned into his ears and said: "Is it money? They want money, right? If it can help them, it doesn't matter if you give them all. Emiang and the emperor's grandmother You don't blame me for helping them, do you?"

"But Master..."

It's true that the silver taels he brought were enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for half a year, but now they were surrounded by a group of hungry people, and there were no rules and politeness to speak of in front of this group of people.At that time, I'm afraid that the rewards will be less, the distribution will be uneven, and the distribution will not be enough... I'm afraid these people will block them and refuse to leave.

If that's all it is, what Liang Shan is most afraid of is fighting against each other without saying a word, and he alone with two guards may not be the opponent of these hungry refugees.

But these words can't be said in front of people, even if they say it, the fifth elder brother may not be able to understand, Liang Shan saw that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, so he picked up the fifth elder brother and squeezed out.

But now at this moment, he has already been circled three floors in and three floors out, let alone lifting his feet, the whole person cannot move.

Liang Shan sighed for a long time, and only patiently said to Yin Qi: "Young master, you have hugged me well, don't move around?"

It was only after being picked up by Liang Shan that Yinqi saw for the first time how many people were surrounded here. He had never seen these disheveled people, let alone so many disheveled people.

And the sweet and sour smell of sweet icing and hawthorn has long since disappeared, replaced by an increasingly severe smell of rancidity, sweat and stink.

The surrounding noises, hissing, and crying almost came one after another, completely blocking his little ears.Yinqi had never seen such a scene before, and maybe he felt it was a bit novel at the beginning, but the unceasing voice soon wiped out all the original freshness in his heart, and now the only thing left is There are only those fears that have no reason.

He buried his small head on Liang Shan's neck, tightly grasped Liang Shan's collar with both hands, and said nothing more.

In the current situation, if someone who was more timid would have been frightened into crying, it would be great if Yinqi could stay quiet without saying a word.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! Isn't it money? Don't you just want money? Don't scare my young master, money matters are easy to talk about!" Liang Shan wanted to spend money helplessly after protecting his elder brother's little head thing.

With his words out loud, the voices of this group of people gradually weakened.After finally stabilizing the situation, Liang Shan just wanted to spend the money and leave this place, but——

He touched his belt, only to realize that his money bag containing the whole bag of silver was gone.In just a moment, Liang Shan felt that his spine began to go numb.

The money is lost!Someone must have stolen the purse during the chaos.

What should I do now!These wolf-like refugees in front of them will never give up until they get money. The more anxious Liangshan is, the more flustered he feels.Turning his head to look at the guard beside the carriage from a distance, he shouted loudly: "Send the young master back first!"

However, even with a knife, it is not so easy to squeeze in.

"Didn't you say give it? Give it! Lord! You can't take your word for it!"

"That's right! What are you talking about if you don't have money! Isn't it in vain! Don't praise Haikou if you don't have money! What is it!"

"Master! You can't just leave him alone! My child is dying!"

"That's it! That's it!"

"..."

When everyone saw Liang Shan shouting for people, there was a quarrel of cursing and crying in the street. In such a short time, Liang Shan became everyone's enemy from a savior.What's more, those who just passed by to have fun, seemed to sympathize with them and scolded Liang Shan for such generous behavior.

Liang Shan protected Yinqi and only repeatedly explained: "No! Everyone is really not! I'm not playing tricks, I really lost my money bag! No!"

"I lost my name! Let's ask for it at home! I think you just don't want to give it!"

"Yes! Say it? Say it? Which one is yours?"

I started to play rascals because of the large number of people. Now is the time when everyone is angry. Who would listen to Liang Shan's explanation? .

Yin Qi, who had been relieved, had already begun to get familiar with the noisy environment. He only held Liang Shan and straightened up slightly, and suddenly shouted: "Then go to the government! Go to the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion to ask for it!"

With this sound, everyone suddenly fell silent.Is this calling the government to arrest them?When everyone heard this, some were afraid and some were even more angry, but no one really understood Yinqi's meaning.

If you have difficulties, look for Master Qingtian!Isn't that what Er Niang reads in the scriptures?Could there be a problem?

Yinqi looked at the crowd who were suddenly silent, and even asked very enthusiastically: "Don't you know the way? If you don't know the way, I will take you there!"

"Don't don't..."

It was just a child's innocent and kind persuasion, but in the eyes of everyone, it became a threat and intimidation, and they ran away more than half of them suddenly.However, there are still some local ruffians who are not afraid of death, thinking that what the child said is just to scare people, so they don't leave!Only those who still stood in front of Liang Shan and yelled for money.

"Are you going? If you are a good man, we will take them there! I will have a good talk with Mr. Fu Yin! He will definitely let him take good care of you!" Yin Qi vowed, eyes full of sincerity, in front of those few ruffians who joined in the fun In the eyes of the rogue, he became a naked|naked|naked threat.

When Liang Shan saw this situation, he added embellishment and said: "Yes! Let's go! Our young master has a good relationship with Mr. Fu Yin, and our young master speaks the same words! Man! It's not me boasting, my young master said Already! Let Fu Yin be good! Good! Take care! Gu! That must be good! Good! Take care! Gu! Ah!"

Liang Shan's authentic Beijing accent revealed an aura that was not to be trifled with, which really frightened those little bastards for a while.

Coupled with the approach of the two guards with knives behind them, these people turned around and ran away when they saw that something was wrong. They didn't care about money or not.

Only for a while, some people who were afraid of the government ran away, some who had a guilty conscience ran away, and some of these people who deliberately extorted money also ran away.There were only five or six ragged, sallow and emaciated people who seemed to be holding their breath, and those who could have been blown down by the wind remained where they were.

For them, they are really hungry, even if people from the government come, they are really hungry.He was so hungry that he couldn't walk, it didn't matter whether he was in prison or not, whether he died or not.Maybe there are still people who are really eager to go to prison, at least they have two meals a day in prison!

Yinqi asked in a daze, "Why are the heroes gone? Are you hungry?"

"Hmph! If you're so hungry, why don't you come here again! Those individuals said that there are no victims, but after all, there are always more autumn winds." Liang Shan shook his head slightly, looking helplessly at the suddenly empty place. open space.

Liang Shan carried the fifth elder brother into the carriage. Although someone had stolen his purse, he still found some coins for buying candied haws just now.Even if it is only a dozen or so copper coins, it is enough for them to save money for more than half a month.

"There is only so much left, and it is only enough for you to eat. I really don't have any more today. Our young master is not trying to scare you. If you are really a disaster-stricken refugee, you should go to Jingzhao Mansion Yin Na asked, in previous years, such a situation should have been caused by opening a porridge shop for disaster relief."

The person who received the copper plate thanked him a thousand times and knocked his head on the ground with a "dong dong" sound, but when he heard Liang Shan say to go to the government, two lines of dirty tears flowed down his face.

"It's not that we don't want to, but they really don't care! They say yes... er... they say they confiscated the news of the famine in our hometown, and they won't allow the porridge shop to open!"

"That's right! That's right! This is just watching us die! Poor my little daughter, who struggled all the way to the capital, but didn't even have a mouthful of hot food and died of starvation... Yes! My daughter... ah ah ah ah..."

All of a sudden, these people started to cry.They are all people who have really suffered. If the situation is serious, they are really starving to death. If the situation is a little better, they have not eaten for several meals in a row. They are both wronged and resentful. The opportunity is all vented.

Liang Shan also came from a difficult background. His family was too poor to survive, so he sold him, the eldest, to the palace as a eunuch. Slaves are servants, beaten and scolded!

Hearing these bitter people's words, Liang Shan couldn't help but burst into tears of sympathy for a moment.

But people's life is life, and it is useless to complain like this.He was lucky enough to meet such a good master as Fifth Prince, and he treated himself like a family member, even though he liked to be lazy and always provoked himself to be beaten for him.

He also really felt guilty in his heart, if he couldn't get the good ointment he got every day, he had to apply it for him himself.

Of course, Fifth Brother should be lazy after the second day, or should he still be lazy, the guilt feels like he didn't sleep in one night.

But for Liang Shan, what he got was enough, and he was already satisfied just because the fifth elder brother treated him as a human being instead of a dog slave.

Look at Eldest Brother again, I don’t know how many eunuchs he has served by his side. Be careful to serve him like the Supreme Emperor, and being beaten at every turn is commonplace. Into a half-dead scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Liang Shan wiped away his tears with his hands, and looked at those people hard-heartedly and said, "It's useless to cry at this point. I can manage you today and tomorrow with this little money, but I can't manage you for a lifetime. There is nothing like being alive." Yes, that’s what life is like, and it’s useless to blame others, so it’s better to think about it, even doing long-term work for others or being a slave to survive is good. That’s enough! Don’t cry! Think more about how to survive!”

After finishing speaking, Liang Shan sniffed, then stood up with a cold face and walked towards the carriage without looking back. He was obviously only a teenager, but he was used to all the sinister things in this world. Already began to be indifferent to these so-called miserable deeds.

Even if the people behind him cry like this again, Liang Shan never turns his head back. After all, all this has nothing to do with him. He can't help everyone in this world, and it's not easy to keep his own life.

Yin Qi lay on the car curtain and watched those people crying bitterly outside the window. Although he didn't quite understand why they were crying, he felt very uncomfortable just looking at them like this.

Yinqi: [Pikachu, do they think the money given by the hero is too little? 】

Pikachu; [I think they are crying for their uncertain future!Do you want to help them?Do you want to change all this? 】

Yin Qi: [Of course!But how can I do it? 】

Pikachu: [Maybe it starts when you complete your daily homework and learn to participate in government affairs like your brothers!Just like your little Huihui said, in the future, be a virtuous king who does everything by himself. 】

"Can I?" Yin Qi muttered to himself while lying by the window, until he couldn't even see the figures of those people, he was still thinking about this matter.

Although he didn't fully understand today's events from beginning to end, but to a certain extent, this incident that was confusing in itself planted a seed in his heart, a seed that was about to take root and sprout. seed.

Those most intuitive shocks were the first time that he was so ruthless, shattering his limited cognition just like that.

For the first time, I saw these hungry, emaciated and inhuman people.

For the first time, I heard these people describe the tragic things that their relatives starved to death on the street.

For the first time, so close to death.

It was the first time I knew that I could change all this and prevent it from happening again.
