After changing into a pair of clogs and pulling out another umbrella, Hua Xiaogu rushed into the rain again, walked out of the small yard and walked towards the gate of the yard. As he trotted along, his clogs splashed in the water.
Although Hua Xiaogu held an umbrella in her hand, the rain was too heavy. When she arrived at the door, half of her body was already wet.
The servants who were originally waiting at the door were standing inside the door hiding from the rain and chatting. When they saw a figure holding an umbrella jumping over in the heavy rain not far away, their eyes widened.
Stand up on the stool.
"Master, where are you going in such a heavy rain?" A middle-aged man at the gate came forward and said to Hua Xiaogu: "Can I tell you to prepare the carriage?"
Hua Xiaogu ducked into the door, folded up his umbrella, and shook off the raindrops on it: "No, I won't go out. You open the door and let's see if the old man is still there."
After Hua Xiaogu finished speaking, several servants immediately understood. Hua Xiaogu was kind-hearted, and he had already cleared up the misunderstandings about her before, so the servants got along well with her. After hearing her words, several people
He hurriedly opened the door.
"That old man is quite interesting. Since yesterday, he has stayed at our house and never left." A servant pushed open the door and murmured in a low voice: "Maybe he came here because he saw that the master is kind."
Hua Xiaogu didn't answer, and stuck his head out to take a look. It was raining heavily in the alley, and even his vision seemed a little blurry. But when Hua Xiaogu took a closer look, he saw fifty or sixty meters away from the gate in the alley.
The dark figure was still huddled in place.
"It's still there..." Hua Xiaogu frowned and sighed softly. She lowered her head and tied two knots on the corners of her trouser legs, revealing her white and tender ankles. She wore wooden clogs barefoot and raised her umbrella again.
, rushed into the rain.
The servants behind him were all a little startled, and they were afraid that something might happen to their master, so they all found their rain gear and followed him out.
"Uncle, why are you still here? It's raining so hard, quickly find a place to hide from the rain!" Hua Xiaogu stepped on the water and ran all the way to the old beggar, then amplified his voice and shouted twice in that direction.
voice.
The old beggar didn't seem to hear, and still huddled against the wall, letting the heavy rain hit him.
Hua Xiaogu was helpless. Although she was not a kind person, she was an old man right in front of her home. She couldn't just watch someone get sick in the rain, right? She took two more steps forward, stretched out her hand and held the umbrella over the old beggar's head.
: "Uncle, why don't you come to my door to take shelter from the rain? Being soaked like this is not a problem, even if your body is in good shape, it will be ruined! You come and take shelter from the rain, and I'll ask someone to make some ginger soup for you!"
After Hua Xiaogu finished speaking, the old beggar tilted his head slightly, revealing one eye from his dirty hair, and looked straight at Hua Xiaogu, as if to confirm whether Hua Xiaogu meant what he said.
At this moment, there was another loud thunder, and Hua Xiaogu shook her head helplessly: "Oh, please get up quickly and come in with me! The rain is getting heavier and heavier!" After that, she turned her head and faced
The servant who came behind him waved: "Come and help me, help the old man in!"
The master spoke, and no one among the servants dared not listen. Several servants took action one after another and almost carried the old beggar into the gate.
