It was not dark yet after Lin Ye came out of the medical clinic, but there were more and more people on the streets of Yunzhou City. This was almost the busiest time of the day.
As one of the nine major cities in the northern border of the Dayu Empire, Yunzhou City has an extremely transcendent status.
Within Dayu, there are only six large cities with the same status as state governance. In other words, the city lord of Yunzhou City has the same status as the governor of each state.
Among the nine major cities in the north, Yunzhou ranks first and is the only major city in the north with this status. The other five are all in the south.
Even among the other five major cities with special status, apart from the imperial capital Geling, only Pengmen Jun's Kaicheng has a status equal to that of Yunzhou.
Because two of the three holy places in Dayu Jianghu are in Junkai City, one is Xisheng Temple and the other is Yu Xin Guan.
The state religion Shangyang Palace also has a branch in Junkai City, where the deputy headmaster and three chief ministers sit here all year round.
Logically speaking, even if such a powerful Junkaicheng cannot compare with Geling, it should not be on an equal footing with Yunzhou.
The root cause is that there is a Beiye Prince's Mansion in Yunzhou City.
There are many shops on both sides of the street. Although it is not dark yet, the lanterns in front of each shop are lit up, making this long street as bright as a galaxy.
As Lin Ye walked, he was thinking about what he should buy for cooking today. Although his body hurt everywhere, he was really not used to eating food outside.
As he was walking, he saw Gao Gong and others coming towards him. Lin Ye remembered that Yan Xiniu had been so vicious to him before because of Gao Gong and others, so he waved to Gao Gong and others.
Gao Gong and the others also saw Lin Ye, and the four of them subconsciously turned around to hide. When they saw Lin Ye waving, they didn't dare not come.
"Master!"
Gao Gong smiled and ran to Lin Ye: "Let's go on a patrol and see which one still dares to litter."
Lin Ye asked: "How is the money collected?"
Gao Gong said: "With the abilities of a few of us, those guys still dare not to pay? I... No, I blocked the door and scolded them, and they didn't dare to reply. If they don't pay, I will have someone pull me away."
If a cart of excrement and gold soup blocks the door, I wonder if they can do business."
Lin Ye frowned.
Gao Gong quickly explained: "Imaginations are all assumptions. The neighbors are very reasonable and easy to talk to..."
Lin Ye: "You didn't bully anyone?"
Gao Gong shook his head like a rattle: "No, absolutely not! We are all members of the underworld, and people in the underworld don't do this."
Lin Ye hummed: "Go buy some meat and vegetables. You can follow me home for dinner later. Buy enough for five people... buy enough for six people."
Gao Gong was stunned: "Master, what do you mean... go to your house for dinner?"
Lin Ye only glanced at him, and Gao Gong said quickly: "I understand, let's buy it right away!"
When he turned around, Gao Gong saw a little beggar rummaging through a garbage basket not far away, and immediately shouted.
"Little bastard, what the hell are you flipping over? If you flip outside and dirty the street, I'll slap you with my big mouth!"
The little beggar was startled by him and looked back timidly, holding in his hand the half dirty steamed bun he had just found.
"Get out of here!"
Gao Gong scolded him as he walked forward. If he had seen such a little beggar in the past, he would have kicked him away.
These gangsters also help the government do things on weekdays, one of which is cleaning up beggars on the street.
The city lord of Yunzhou City dislikes seeing beggars and the like in the city. Whenever he goes out, his men will clean the streets in advance.
Of course, for such a small matter, they don't need people in official robes to come forward in person. Most of them just let their subordinates instruct minions like Gao Gong to handle it.
Therefore, the beggars in this city are really afraid of Gao Gong and others to their core.
The little beggar was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Gao Gong was used to bullying these people, so he would give him a kick if he caught up with him.
As soon as he stretched out his kick, Lin Ye kicked him on the butt and directly sent a rocket to Gao Gong.
Gao Gong exclaimed and fell to the ground. He didn't dare to say anything when he got up. He smiled awkwardly at Lin Ye, then waved and ran away with the others.
Lin Ye turned around to leave, but suddenly felt his clothes tighten. He looked down and saw that the little beggar had grabbed the corner of his clothes with dirty hands.
Lin Ye frowned.
He has mysophobia.
But for some reason, Lin Ye wasn't angry or disgusted. He frowned, but he just thought the little beggar was rude.
The little beggar couldn't tell his exact age. He was not taller than Lin Ye's chest, so he must be under ten years old.
His body was surprisingly dirty and exuded a stench. His face had no visible skin color, and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest. But he had a pair of big, clear and clean eyes, so beautiful that it seemed as if there were stars and everything in his eyeballs.
"I won't hit you, just leave."
After Lin Ye said something, he started to leave. The little beggar let go of his clothes, but immediately hugged his legs, turned around, and sat on Lin Ye's feet.
Lin Ye stepped forward and the little beggar sat on Lin Ye's feet and swung forward a step further.
"hungry?"
Lin Ye was silent for a moment and said, "I'll buy you some food before you leave."
The little beggar didn't answer or nod. He just raised his head and looked at him with his big, clear eyes.
Lin Ye said helplessly: "Let go of me and I will take you to buy food."
The little beggar shook his head this time.
Lin Ye looked into those eyes and said seriously: "I don't lie."
The little beggar seemed to think about it for a while, and trust finally defeated his suspicion. He got off Lin Ye's feet and stretched out his dirty little hands to Lin Ye. He still didn't speak and looked at Lin Ye with his big eyes.
Lin Ye slowly exhaled and looked at that little hand, thinking how could it be so dirty?
Then he reached out and took the little beggar's hand and walked forward. He looked at it again and sighed again. The little hand was indeed really dirty.
The little beggar grinned and put the half of the dirty bun he was holding in his other hand into his mouth.
Lin Ye reached out and pinched the steamed bun over: "Don't eat it. I'll buy you a steamed bun."
After saying that, he threw the almost black steamed buns out. Two wild dogs ran over from a distance, sniffed the steamed buns, and left without eating.
Lin Ye originally threw it at the two stray dogs, not even thinking of the dogs eating them.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Gao Gong curse: "Which bastard threw this garbage?! Do you want to die?!"
Lin Ye went over to pick up the steamed buns and put them into the garbage basket. When he looked again, Gao Gong and the four of them had already run away.
When they arrived at the door of the shop selling steamed buns, Lin Ye held the little beggar's hand and wanted to enter. The little beggar kept backing away, as if he refused to go in.
Lin Ye probably understood that it was probably the people in this shop who had scared this little beggar before.
"Then wait for me and I'll buy it."
Lin Ye said softly and went in to buy buns. The little beggar stood there waiting for him. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. He seemed to have thought of something. He turned to the side and washed them where there was sewage, rubbing them vigorously.
tiny hand.
Lin Ye happened to see it when he was going out, and felt a little pain in his heart.
"The water is not clean either."
He took out a white handkerchief and handed it to the little beggar: "Wrap it in this and eat it."
The little beggar shook his head: "I'm not afraid of eating, I'm afraid of you..."
He looked at Lin Ye's hands, probably because Lin Ye's hands were so clean and beautiful.
Lin Ye felt pain in his heart again.
He wrapped a bun with a handkerchief and handed it to the little beggar: "Eat it."
The little beggar hummed, and when he took a bite, most of the bun went into his mouth. As expected, he choked in one bite.
Lin Ye took off the kettle he was carrying with him. His movements were natural and there was no hesitation at all because the little beggar was dirty.
"Eat it yourself."
Lin Ye handed the kettle to the little beggar and was about to leave. Then he took a step forward and felt his feet sink. When he looked again, the little beggar hugged his legs again.
She hugged him tightly and looked up at him, her eyes sparkling and watery.
Lin Ye suddenly remembered that he had kicked Gao Gong before. The little beggar probably thought that he could protect him.
Lin Ye has always felt that he is not a warm-hearted person, and he does not think too much about others, whether they are cute or pitiful.
I don't know why I committed an evil act today, but not only did I not suffer from mysophobia, but I also kept feeling compassion.
"That's all."
Lin Ye said to himself: "It's better to keep you as a book boy."
He pointed to his feet and signaled the little beggar to come down. The little beggar shook his head. Lin Ye stretched out his hand. The little beggar suddenly jumped up and grabbed Lin Ye's fingers.
So, Lin Ye picked up a little beggar and went home.
What he wants to do is very big and very fierce. It can be said that he will survive nine or ten deaths.
So he knew very well that he shouldn't do this. If he died, this little beggar would live on the street again.
Maybe his mother-in-law had too much influence on him and he couldn't be cruel after all.
After walking about a mile, the little beggar suddenly let go of his hand and ran out, leaving Lin Ye stunned.
The little beggar quickly got into a pile of firewood on the side of the road, digging quickly with his hands. After a while, he took out a puppy that was as dirty as him. There were only two or three puppies.
He is one month old, so he must be starving, and he looks tired and tired.
The puppy was so dirty that its original color could not be seen. It lay in the little beggar's arms and purred softly, using its little strength to get intimate with the little beggar.
Lin Ye felt that something was wrong with him. As long as the little beggar didn't cause his mysophobia to attack, this little puppy actually didn't let him have mysophobia either.
"It... was bullied by the big dogs on the street. It didn't dare to come out to look for food. It was starving to death. I went through many garbage baskets and only found half a steamed bun. I thought I would eat half of it."
, leave half of it.”
The little beggar must have let down his guard, and started talking more. He put the bun to the puppy's mouth, and the puppy immediately started struggling, obviously in a hurry.
In this way, Lin Ye led a little beggar and a puppy back to his residence.
"I'm going to boil some water for you two, so you both need to wash yourself."
Lin Ye pointed to the stone bench in the yard: "Go and sit over there, don't enter my house..."
He said this as if he didn't have some confidence yet, and he even regretted it after saying it.
However, he felt no harm in contacting the little beggar. If the little beggar and the stray dog ran into his bed and rolled around, he probably wouldn't even want the bedding.
Not long after, Lin Ye boiled the water, tested the water temperature, and put it into two wooden barrels, one large and one small. The big one was used to soak people and the small one was used to soak dogs.
"You soak for a while first, I'll wash the dog, and I'll wash you later."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he carried the little black dog and put it into the small wooden barrel. The little black dog regained some strength after eating and struggled desperately.
While Lin Ye was subduing the little black dog, he looked up at the little beggar. He was still thinking that this little kid was probably as black as this little dog.
When his thoughts came to this, he suddenly screamed and threw the little black dog out.
In the next breath, Lin Ye grabbed the little beggar's pants and pulled them back up.
After another breath, Lin Ye turned around and gasped for breath. He was frightened like this just because... the little beggar was actually a girl.
