Chapter 235 Little People, Big Rivers and Lakes Seven
The morning mist is heavy and light clothes are stained, and the rays of rays lock the winter cold,
Lai Gouer didn't take Li Chenglong's words to heart. At this moment, he was in an extremely happy mood. All he had to do was go to the Sheepskin Street to sell a few meat buns. Of course, if he still had the remaining copper coins, he would still buy them.
Bring some portions of tofu pudding back. The four children have never enjoyed eating meat buns and drinking tofu pudding in the morning. They have always had one meal at a time, and this is really the first time they have enjoyed it like this.
Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Lai Gouer couldn't help but straighten his back. Today he is no longer the pitiful little beggar. Although his clothes have not changed much, he thinks,
One day, I will wear brand new clothes.
Pedestrians on the street didn't pay much attention to Lai Gou'er's arrival. After all, there would be one or two beggars on this street every day, and he was an old acquaintance on the Sheepskin Street. Therefore, the busy pedestrians did not
They didn't deliberately pay attention to a ragged beggar. Their eyes shifted to two people, two very strange middle-aged men.
They are all dressed in common clothes, but their seemingly ordinary clothes reveal an aura of calmness and power from the bottom of their hearts. Judging from the palms of these two people, they are both relatively slender and fair, and they can't see in their delicate palms.
There is a callus, but the index finger and thumb are slightly rough. It can be seen that these two people must have been holding pens for many years, and their identities must be extraordinary, and they are definitely not ordinary passers-by on Sheepskin Street.
Some passers-by could see the extraordinary identities of these two people. Of course, some people just thought it was strange. After all, it had been a long time since there had been two such unique middle-aged people on Sheepskin Street. Although they were wearing
Even though they were wearing long robes, they could not hide the majestic aura they exuded, as if they had been indulging in lust for a long time.
Lai Gou'er also noticed these two people, but he just noticed it. He heard Li Chenglong's words in his mind. Could it be that these two people are human traffickers? He thought secretly in his heart, and then he couldn't help but think more
Pay attention to the two people walking through the crowd.
He also saw something unusual about the two people, but he felt that the shiny silk satin was inadvertently exposed under the other's coarse cloth. The other party must be hiding something. He only paid attention to the other party occasionally, and found that the other party
The two wandered leisurely and leisurely. They seemed to be leisurely and elegant, but it could be seen that there was a pressure that was difficult to release on their faces. The two of them had not spent a single coin on this Sheepskin Street, not even a single coin.
They walked to the fragrant Liu family steamed bun stall without stopping, and passed by the Xiao family's braised pig's trotters stall. They just took a look, and finally left slowly.
Lai Gou'er struggled to get through the crowd to the Liu family's steamed bun shop. The drawers of steamed buns on the stall were sold very fast, and in the blink of an eye there were only a few baskets left. The busy Liu family's old man also paid attention.
When Lai Gou'er arrived, he said, "Gou'er, wait a minute. Uncle Liu will leave a few for you after he's done with his work. He's too busy now, so you can take a walk around first."
Lai Gouer was startled. He knew that this elderly and childless old man had misunderstood him, but the crowd was shouting. He wanted to explain, but his voice was drowned out by the loud words of other package buyers.
With business being so good today, Lai Gou'er didn't want to spoil the old man from the Liu family, so he had to squeeze out of the crowd and walk towards Mrs. Lin's stall.
Ye Yinfeng originally wanted to go out for a walk, but he found that Lai Gouer had gone out before him. He was not familiar with this place for the time being, so he had to stay in the dilapidated yard. As the sun rose,
Then the sunlight began to get a little scorching, or at the very least, a little dazzling.
The four children seemed to be a unit. They got up together when they wanted to get up. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to their dog brother going out early in the morning, and they were not surprised. In fact, they didn't have much to do, most of the time they just
Watching the solar energy rising higher, watching the dark clouds turn into a dragon, and then into a big tiger with claws and teeth. They were not very accustomed to Ye Yinfeng's existence at first, but this young man gave
They have a mutually dependent affection, so the fourth child doesn't reject him very much, but it hasn't reached a close relationship yet.
The four children started playing in the courtyard. They rolled the dead grass in the courtyard over and over again unscrupulously, and their bodies were not only stained with the dew that had not yet come in the morning, but also stained with the dew from the earthen wall that collapsed yesterday evening.
Ni Chen. Xiaodong is working hard to straighten the fallen earth wall. He is trying to pile up the collapsed earth walls on both sides, so that they will have two more houses and they will not be so crowded.
Xiaonan and Xiaoxi were watching groups of ants under the corner of the courtyard. Each ant climbed from their nest to another high place in an orderly manner. Xiaonan and Xiaobei counted the ants.
There were ants in groups, but before they could count them clearly, they forgot which number they had counted, so they had to count them all over again. Sometimes they almost got into an argument over which group of ants had the greater number.
Xiaobei found a beautiful butterfly under the corner of the wall. The butterfly flapped its two beautiful wings, opened and closed, and flew toward the sunshine, like an elf in the sunshine. The butterfly flew very fast
It was slow and did not fly high, but it was not easy for Xiaobei to catch it. Along the corner, Xiaobei fell many times before he caught up with the butterfly and saw it stopping on a big stone.
Above, the two wings open and close, which is simply beautiful.
Xiao Bei couldn't help but feel happy when she saw the butterfly stopped there and didn't fly up. She patted the dirty mud on her hands and carefully and slowly leaned towards the butterfly. There were only a few steps left before she could get close to the butterfly.
Xiaobei's nervous heart could not help but beat fast. She was afraid that she would scare the butterfly away again if she was not careful.
At this moment, the dilapidated small courtyard at the end of Buyi Lane was shrouded in a soft morning sun, and the mist began to slowly dissipate. But the courtyard was also quiet, and the 178-year-old boy
The girl's eyes were fixed on the butterfly that was opening and closing on a big stone under the courtyard wall. She concentrated on it and tiptoed closer to the butterfly with its wings fluttering gracefully. There were also two slender little boys squatting.
In the corner of the courtyard wall, I watched groups of ants evacuating, plus a tiger-headed guy who kept tinkering with the soil of the collapsed earth wall. At this time, the courtyard seemed like a quiet little courtyard.
Picture scroll, a quiet and peaceful picture scroll.
But at this moment, a series of slight knocks on the door broke the peaceful scene. The slight knocks came so suddenly. No one expected that someone would knock on the door, which was almost falling apart.
The fallen wooden door.
The series of slight knocks on the door scared away the butterfly with its colorful wings facing the golden sunshine. It slowly and lightly rose up, and its flapping wings accelerated. It flew higher and higher, and soon it
Beyond the wall, it finally disappeared into the eyes of the dirty but beautiful little girl. The disappearing butterfly, the little girl who was lost because she couldn't catch the butterfly, and the other three boys
Raising their heads, with a hint of timidity in their eyes, they looked at the place where the knocking on the door kept coming. No one thought of opening the door.
Xiao Bei looked around and found that the brother in blue shirt carrying the sword had entered the earthen house at some point. He might have gone to see the old man who hadn't woken up yet. Thinking of Brother Ye carrying the sword, Xiao Bei's heart
I couldn't help but feel the courage I had never had before. As long as Brother Ye was still in this yard, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After jumping three times, he soon arrived at the dilapidated wooden door in the yard. Through the wide gap in the wooden door, Xiaobei saw two middle-aged men with relatively gentle looks standing outside the door, waiting to open the door.
.Xiao Bei moved the door a little harder and stuck her head out of the door. Only then did she really see the person coming.
"Who are you looking for?" She asked the two people in front of the door in a childish voice. Xiaobei's shy face was filled with blushes, her body was still trembling, and her heart was
She was still a little scared, after all, it was her first time dealing with strangers.
"I am waiting for the two of us to play together. Now we are a little thirsty. I wonder if you can let us go inside to get some water. I would be very grateful."
Xiao Beijian answered the old man with a mole on the corner of his mouth. The man spoke with some courtesy. He was not looking down upon a child, but he did not feel impatient because of the dirty look on her face.
In any case, these two people didn't look like bad people. Xiaobei remembered Brother Gou'er's teachings: Don't let strangers enter this yard. If they meet a trafficker, they will be in trouble.
"There is no water in my water tank," Xiaobei, who had never interacted with strangers, had no choice but to tell the truth. Her clear and ethereal voice actually aroused the two middle-aged men's interest. They listened carefully.
He looked closely at this little girl about seven or eight years old with a dirty face. Although her whole body could not be seen, she could only see her head sticking out of the door. The dirt on her face could not hide her beautiful face.
, especially her pair of black jewel-like eyes, which makes people fall in love even more when they see her.
"Is there anyone else at home? Can you let us in?" The two men looked at each other. A hot light flashed in their eyes. Although it was fleeting, they both knew it because they also heard this.
Two or three clear children's voices sounded in the courtyard.
Xiaobei, who had no scheming and had never dealt with strangers, was no match for these two middle-aged men. He opened the door for her in a few words. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he looked around and saw three other people wearing clothes.
The ragged boy, the two middle-aged men's eyes were even brighter, and they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts. Especially the middle-aged man with a mole at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were shining.
Like a hungry wolf discovering delicious food, his whole body could not help but tremble.
And all this was seen by Ye Yinfeng, who was hiding in the dark. Although Ye Yinfeng was not sure about the identities of these two people, he felt that they were similar. Although the middle-aged scribe was dressed in civilian clothes, he could not hide his identity.
With a majestic aura as if he was sitting in a high position, this person must be a high-ranking official of a certain rank who has been in a high position for a long time. Another middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth knew at a glance that his official rank was one level lower than this middle-aged scribe, and he was higher than the middle-aged scribe.
Otherwise, why would he be only half a body behind the middle-aged scribe? As for what kind of officials they were, Ye Yinfeng did not see the official robes they wore, and it was difficult to identify them. He thought it was possible that they were officials from the Jingzhao Mansion.
The biggest. He also heard that Lord Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion always likes to visit privately incognito, and that he must be accompanied by a long-historian-level official, so the identities of these two people will be revealed.
What makes Ye Yinfeng feel strange is that the Jingzhao Prefect is the most senior official in Jinling City, the imperial capital. He wants to visit privately incognito, which is feasible, but these two people look at the four little ones.
His eyes were obviously beyond the scope of his understanding. He didn't understand what was contained in the other person's eyes. There was excitement, and there was excitement in his bones. These four little boys were just ordinary little beggars in Jinling City. Why should they be allowed to do so?
Feel excited.
However, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind. His Royal Highness, the current Crown Prince, is a good man and loves children. This thought together made him feel chills in his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
When I got up, I had goosebumps all over my body.
The two middle-aged men did not stay long and had a casual chat with the little girl Xiaobei. They also got the information they wanted. After turning to leave, they looked at the four little girls again, as if this
The four humble little beggars seemed to be in their pockets. Their sudden arrival and then their casual departure did not bring any special movement to this forgotten courtyard, at least Xiaobei did not.
After discovering the fluttering butterfly, Xiaonan and Xiaoxi discovered another group of moving ants, and Xiaodong made the soil even more joyful.
Ye Yinfeng looked at the backs of the two departing people, lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Then a sharp light flashed from his eyes, and then he walked out of the earthen house, looking at everything, showing a comfortable smile.
The dog hadn't come back yet, and the fourth child didn't notice that his belly was making gurgling noises. They were playing more happily and immersed themselves in it.
Lai Gouer took the buns wrapped in oil paper and rushed to the alley. The two middle-aged men he saw on the street came face to face. He didn't pay attention and squeezed past the two men.
In the past, he had not noticed at all that the two middle-aged men exuded an aura that made his heart palpitate.
The heavy black clouds finally stepped over and gradually enveloped the entire sky. Although the speed was very slow, the rolling black clouds became more and more dense, and they were almost covering the sun that had only risen in the east for less than an hour.
