soul guide

It was the wailing and crying that resounded through the sky and the persuasion of more people to persuade the two men to stop, snatched the child with one hand, patted their feet on them, and left angrily.

Xiaoxi closed her eyes and saw that Shen was standing in front of him with a railing and had been beaten for him. She suddenly felt that her body didn't hurt at all. She wanted to grin at the wrong time, but the corners of her mouth moved slightly but the pain was severe. He hugged him with all his strength. Sitting on Shen leaning on the railing, every movement was piercing pain, surrounded him, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

When Xiaoxi woke up, it was still dark outside. He woke up from the cold and opened his eyes with difficulty. There was a burning firewood not far away, and a pile of dry grass under him. Shen leaned on the railing and slept sideways. Wanting to call him, his stomach growled at this moment, overwhelming hunger hit him, he couldn't bear to wake Shen Pinglan, saw water in the broken bowl next to him, and crawled over with hands and feet, regardless of whether it was cold or not. A bowl is a booze.

The sound of his drinking water still woke up Shen Pinglan. Although Shen Pinglan was unconscious, his hearing was extremely sensitive after many years of martial arts practice, and he woke up at the slightest sign of trouble. Seeing his distressed appearance, which was far from his clean appearance in the past, his throat moved, and he called him uncertainly, with a very hoarse voice: "Xiao Xi?"

Xiaoxi stared blankly at him, was punched in the eye, and the pain was still tormenting him, seeing that his eyes were clear, as if he had regained his sanity and was no longer insane, Xiaoxi felt very sad, and burst into tears, Flying into his arms, "Brother, brother, brother!"

Shen Pinglan hugged him at a loss, and smoothed his messy hair, "Be good, don't cry, Xiao Xi don't cry, brother loves you the most."

"Brother, do you recognize me?" Xiaoxi was ecstatic, jumped up and held his hand tightly, "Brother, are you calling me?"

Shen Pinglan gave a spoiled smile, stroked his back, and said, "Of course I'm calling you, brother's darling, you can be regarded as coming back, my brother has missed you to death all these years!"

Xiaoxi's heart suddenly turned cold, and she slumped on the ground.

Shen leaned on the railing to wrap his arms around his waist, reaching into his clothes, eager to peel off his clothes.

Xiaoxi was taken aback, then tightened her collar, and said vigilantly, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Brother wants you, you little idiot!" Shen leaned on the railing to push him to the ground, pulled off his pants, picked up his soft waist, spread his legs vigorously with both hands, and sent them in violently.

Shen leaned on the railing and pressed him madly all night, until the window turned white before he stopped, the thing was still stuck inside him, before he could pull it out, it fell on Xiaoxi and fell asleep.Xiao Xi was so tired that he had difficulty breathing, but he didn’t feel sleepy. He pulled down the heavy railing that was pressing on him, and then lay down on the haystack to pant. His whole body was sticky and wet. Go find a hot water wash.Xiaoxi was tired and hungry, her legs were trembling, she put on her clothes, sat there by herself and dozed off for a while, then went to rummage through the silver taels in her clothes, planning to go shopping later to fill her stomach.

But after searching all over his body, he only found a few pennies, and only then remembered that the two men had snatched away the remaining money.He stomped his feet in anger and yelled at others for the first time in his life. Shen Pinglan frowned and groaned a few times when he heard the sound, Xiao Xi hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at him with wide eyes, fearing that he would wake him up, and secretly blamed himself , was about to tiptoe out.

Shen leaned on the railing to stop him, "Xiao Xi, where are you going?"

Startled, Xiaoxi turned her head to see that he was awake, and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm going out to buy some food, and I'll be back soon."

Shen Pinglan took a few glances at him, and suddenly smiled: "Little gluttonous dog, come back early, brother will make you some delicious food tonight, don't play outside and miss the time to go home."

Xiao Xi was puzzled: "Brother?"

Shen Pinglan laughed at his stupidity: "Stupid, today is your birthday, Xiao Xi is 17 years old, forgot?"

"Oh, it's my birthday!"

Xiaoxi suddenly realized that he turned his head and fell asleep after seeing him finish speaking. The scene just now was like a dream. He rubbed his temples and turned to go out the door. A few circles of dead grass were used to act as a big lock to lock the door.Shen Pinglan fell ill after his illness, and it was Xiaoxi who took him around all the time. He didn't even dare to leave the door before, but now he is a lot more courageous, dares to bargain with others, and knows how to argue with those who look down on others. some.He fetched half a bucket of steaming water from the well, washed his face briefly, looked at the mirror-like water surface repeatedly, and finally no longer looked like a beggar with a painted face.

The morning market has just opened, and there are not many pedestrians, even a little deserted. After all, it is close to the capital, and because of its ragged clothes, it is the first time for Xiao Xi to come out and remember the route while walking, but he will sometimes attract some eyes when he walks on the street. The silk merchants have the best eyes to see people, and when they saw Xiaoxi coming, they covered their noses and kept away.Xiaoxi approached, her face changed instantly, she protected the stall, waved her hands and scolded: "Where are you little beggars, go away, go far away, I am not a temple doing good deeds every day to feed you beggars, get out!"

The woman's ferocious face came into view, making Xiaoxi feel sick. He took out the money in his sleeve and said loudly: "I'm not a beggar, I'm rich!"

The woman pursed her mouth, clicked her tongue a few times, and said in distaste: "So what if you are rich, you look so poor, you seem to have escaped from somewhere, I don't care about earning your stinky money, get away! Get away as far as you can!" !"

There was a burst of ridicule from around, and some even threw rotten vegetables at Xiaoxi. Fortunately, he dodged quickly to avoid those malicious attacks. There was a pool of rotten melons on the ground, and the fecal yellow lump exuded a stench. Xi was about to be blown out of anger, so she gritted her teeth and glared at her. The woman was not afraid at all, pointing and pointing at him with others, but she didn't have a good word in her mouth. A person who can fight against the Confucians with his words, he lacks confidence and is stupid. Those people frown, frightened him, and finally ran away in desperation because he was outnumbered.

Those passers-by were all watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. If Shen was leaning on the railing by his side, who would dare to insult him like this? Xiaoxi was very wronged. It was the first time he was insulted like this in front of so many people. He was so ashamed that he almost wanted to grab the ground with his head I wish I could die, but when I think that Shen Pinglan is still waiting for him, he has survived until today, he only belongs to me, Shen Wanxi can no longer come out and interfere in their lives, Xiaoxi is not willing to be knocked down by other people's gossip .Hiding in a no-man's land, he cried for a while until his eyes hurt and wiped away his tears, touched his bosom, turned and went to another street.With lessons learned from the past, Xiao Xi felt uncomfortable walking on the street like needles pricking his back. Anyone who passed by him would feel that others were looking at him, and that dirty thing was about to be thrown at him.

Walking around aimlessly, his hands are still empty, no one wants to do his business, they all think his money is dirty, his body smells bad, Xiaoxi's stomach is growling, he hasn't tasted food for a long time, seeing Bai Huahua's soft steamed buns just came out of the cage, he was so greedy that he salivated, and became dizzy for a while. What can I do.

Xiaoxi stared at the chicken legs in other people's mouths and chatted for a while, then turned and left holding the few pennies tightly.Remembering what the woman said just now, the monks in the temple are opening granaries to serve porridge for the fleeing refugees these days, so Xiaoxi wants to go there to try her luck and find something to eat.

He lowered his head and turned around, but bumped into a fat woman. The woman was full of jewels and wrapped in animal fur. Her face was covered with white powder, and her mouth seemed to be smeared with blood. She was bright red and very permeating. Like the actor on the stage, Xiaoxi stared straight at him.

She blocked Xiaoxi's way, Xiaoxi went around her and asked the strong man she brought to block his way, several people surrounded Xiaoxi with malicious intentions, trapping him in a circle of people.

Xiao Xi was terrified, these people were not good at first glance, he tremblingly said: "What are you doing, why are you surrounding me, get out of the way!"

The woman twisted her handkerchief, looked at him carefully as if looking at the goods, grinned, turned her face away to a thin man and said: "It's really good, he looks cute and cute, it doesn't matter if he is a boy, in the capital Well, there are too many things to say, let me change clothes and dress up well, no worse than the girls in our pavilion."

Xiaoxi didn't know what they were planning, and backed away again and again: "What are you talking about?"

Seeing his terrified face, the woman looked kindly, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't be afraid, my mother asked you, did you escape from disaster?"

Xiaoxi nodded subconsciously, biting her lips tightly and daring not to speak.

The woman clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Good boy, I'm afraid you haven't eaten for a few days, you're so pitiful, it hurts me so much, come with me, I'll take you to eat delicious food, okay? "

Hearing that there was something to eat, Xiaoxi was immediately moved, but he didn't dare to trust them, he asked timidly: "You, why did you give me food? I don't eat food from outsiders, I, I want to go home and find my brother go."

The woman grabbed his hand, opened his sleeve, and touched his arm made of lotus root, with a smile on her face, "Good boy, come with me, I will take you to earn a lot of money." ,how?"

"Earn money?" Thinking of Shen Leanping's poor health, needing medicine to consult a doctor, and the need for money for food, housing and transportation, Xiaoxi was a little shaken, and quickly grabbed her hand, "Really?" Can you make a lot of money?"

"Of course it's true, I never lie!" She grabbed Xiaoxi affectionately, pointed to the most decorated attic at the end of the street, and flaunted: "See, that's where I live, isn't it beautiful, my dear Child, come with me, you can live there, eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, and don’t have to beg everywhere.”
