"I didn't expect to save everyone." Xue Jinyi spread her hands, "I just met on the road, do my best." She glanced back at the forest, where the atmosphere had calmed down again, and looked at the sky beyond, "The rest is what the imperial court should consider." ”

The masked man watched as she leaned over to cover Bao'er with a thin quilt, picked up some dry branches, and lit the fire.

There was no shade on this side of the river, and the only shaded shed was only enough for Bao'er to lie alone, so after a while, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Xue Jinyi's forehead, and a drop of sweat rolled down from her forehead and fell right into her eyes.

"Hiss......" Xue Jinyi rubbed her eyes with her sleeve indiscriminately, and after the soreness disappeared a little, she slowly opened her eyes and saw a plain handkerchief.

It was handed over by the masked man.

"Thank you." Xue Jinyi wiped her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "They called you a benefactor, didn't you also save them?" ”

It's no wonder that the masked man would attack the Sun family's mildew.

The masked man's hand reached for the handkerchief and paused, but only in the blink of an eye, and then pinched the corner of the veil.

Xue Jinyi didn't let go, and said with a smile: "There are my tears on it, I'll wash it and return it to you." ”

No, the masked man used his hand so hard that he pulled the veil from between her fingers.

Xue Jinyi sighed softly, this person is really "incomprehensible"?

That's it, anyway, she just thinks the masked man is mysterious and interesting, so she wants to "tease" it.

She said: "You don't need a reason to save people, you can do whatever you want, and many things are like this." ”

The masked man looked at her and turned away.

Xue Jinyi looked at her back and felt familiar with her.

She blinked, and the feeling vanished like a wisp of smoke, unable to grasp or recall its shape.

The masked man had already walked away, and she hurriedly trotted to follow, "Please take care of Bao'er, I'll go back to the city." ”

He grabbed her hand and wrote: I'll go.

Xue Jinyi's eyes rolled and nodded happily, "However, before you leave, can I know your name?" ”

The masked man threw away her hand and continued walking.

"......" Xue Jinyi was not annoyed, clapped her hands, returned to Bao'er briskly, and wiped his body with hot water.

"Girl, shall you have something to eat?" The child's mother walked over cautiously, tiptoeing anxiously and looking at her child's pale face, "How is Bao'er?" ”

"He's asleep now." Xue Jinyi got up and went over to take the roasted food wrapped in large leaves from the child's mother, and a burst of meat aroma entered her nose.

The child's mother smiled embarrassedly: "The troublesome girl worries about our labor, this is the hare and fish that the benefactor got for us, which was roasted by Uncle Zhang, and he is a very famous cook in his hometown." ”

"Thank you."

"Yes, we should thank the girl." The child's mother said with some excitement wiping her tears, "Thank you for your kindness and willingness to help us." ”

Xue Jinyi looked at the forest, two Xiqin people were burning medicinal herbs, the smoke dispersed with the thick smell of medicine, she told the child's mother: "The people you have come into contact with Bao'er should also pay more attention these days, and you can't be careless." ”

"I see." The child's mother nodded, looked at Xue Jinyi with a little curiosity, and asked, "It seems that you know your benefactor?" ”

"It's just a matter of numbers." Xue Jinyi couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" ”

"We were driven away by officers and soldiers, but it was our benefactor who saved us and taught us to look for food to eat in the mountains and forests. The benefactor is such an amazing person, and we are alive until now thanks to him. ”

Xue Jinyi heard gratitude and admiration in the tone of the child's mother, and didn't ask anything.

If you want to know anything, let the masked man say it himself.

The child's mother said, "Oh, I'm patronizing and thanking the girl for making her hungry, so you can eat it quickly." ”

"Okay." Xue Jinyi sat on the ground and ate a bite of grilled fish.

The crispiness of the skin and the tenderness of the flesh made her eyes light up.

The refugees are penniless, hungry and cold, it is good to have a bite to eat, and it is impossible to have any seasonings on their bodies to make delicious food, so the grilled fish should have no taste, even fishy and firewood, but I don't know what method this Uncle Zhang used, using the taste of the food itself to cover up the regret of no seasoning pickling.

"Such a good workmanship...... she took another bite of the grilled fish, "it's a pity here." ”

The child's mother smiled bitterly: "We originally expected the court to be pitiful and would let us go to the city to beg for a living, but ...... Now we can't go back to our hometown, and other places are probably the same as the capital, and we have no money or strength to run around, so we can only linger here, waiting to see if the court can pity us one day. ”

Xue Jinyi sighed softly, all she could do was do her best, and although the big families in the capital gave food to them, if someone also wanted to fool around with moldy rice like the Sun family......

No one cares if these ant-like refugees are dead or alive anyway.

Maybe some people are happy that they are dead, saving them a lot of trouble.

"Don't mention this, just get by." The child's mother waved her hand, "I won't disturb the girl's dinner." ”

Xue Jinyi silently ate the grilled fish, thinking about things in her heart.

About three quarters of an hour later, the masked man returned, bringing back a large load of herbs and prescriptions, and giving them to the refugees to boil the decoction.

He walked slowly to the riverbank, followed by a woman.

The woman said, "Girl, I'll take care of Bao'er, I had chickenpox when I was a child, so I'm not afraid." Thanks to the help of the benefactor and the girl, why are we embarrassed to sit there and enjoy it? ”

Xue Jinyi nodded to the masked man, he went out, and things were much easier.

She told the woman what she needed to do when caring for a chickenpox patient.

The woman wrote it down carefully, and then she didn't want Xue Jinyi to do it.

Xue Jinyi sat on the side and watched, and the masked man also stood silently two steps away from her.

She watched it for a while, missed the taste of grilled fish, and asked, "When they were in their hometown, they all had their own lives, right?" I see that the countryside outside the city is vast, can we find a safe place for them to build a house where they can live, work and work, and be self-sufficient? ”

The masked man wrote the word "money" on the palm of her hand.

"Is there any way to get the court to lend a little help?" Xue Jinyi looked at the forest again and shook her head, "I don't believe that no one has mentioned this method, it can be done once and for all, why ......?"

The masked man shook his head.

"The treasury is tight?" Xue Jinyi guessed.

The masked man did not respond.

At this time, the woman looked up, looked at her curiously, and asked, "Benefactor, why can't you speak all of a sudden?" ”
