The morning fog is heavy and lightly stained, and the light road locks the winter cold,
Lai Gou'er didn't take Li Chenglong's words to heart, he was in an extremely happy mood at the moment, all he had to do was to go to the sheepskin street to sell a few meat buns, of course, if there were still copper coins left, he would bring a few tofu flowers back. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sixiao has never enjoyed eating meat buns and drinking tofu flowers in the morning. They have always had a meal without a meal, and this is the first time they have enjoyed it.
Looking at the pedestrians on the street, Lai Gou'er couldn't help but straighten his back, today he is no longer the poor begging little Hanako, although his clothes have not changed, but he thinks that one day, he will wear a new clothes.
The pedestrians on the street did not pay much attention to the arrival of Lai Gou'er, after all, there were one or two beggars begging along the street every day, and he was an old acquaintance of the sheepskin street. So, busy pedestrians didn't bother to pay attention to a beggar in rags. Their gaze shifted to the two of them, two middle-aged people who were very strangers.
They are all dressed in cloth clothes, seemingly ordinary clothes but exude a momentum that is not angry and powerful from the bones, from the palms of these two people, they are relatively slender and fair, and there is no callus in the delicate palms, but the index finger and thumb are slightly rougher. It can be seen that these two people must be people who have held pens for many years, and their identities must be extraordinary, and they are by no means ordinary passers-by of this sheepskin street.
Some passers-by could see the extraordinary identities of these two men, and of course some people just thought it was strange, after all, it had been a long time since there had been two middle-aged people so unique in this sheepskin street. Although they were wearing cloth robes, it was difficult to hide the majesty that they had been indulging for a long time.
Lai Gou'er also noticed these two people, but he only noticed it, and he heard Li Chenglong's words in his mind, maybe these two people were human traffickers. He thought to himself, and then couldn't help but pay more attention to the two people walking through the crowd.
He also saw that there was something abnormal about the two of them, but he felt that the bottom of the other party's coarse cloth clothes had unintentionally revealed the brilliant satin, and the other party must have hidden something. I just paid attention to it a few times occasionally, and found that the two of them were wandering leisurely, they seemed to be leisurely and elegant, but it could be seen that their faces revealed a coercion that was difficult to release. The two of them didn't spend a copper plate on this sheepskin street, even if they walked to the fragrant Liu family's steamed bun stall, they didn't stop, and they just looked at the stall where the Xiao family's lady braised pig's trotters passed, and finally left slowly.
Lai Gou'er struggled from the crowd to the old man's bun shop of the Liu family, and the buns in the stall were sold quickly, and there were no more cages left in a blink of an eye. And the old man of the Liu family, who was in a hurry, also noticed Lai Gou'er's arrival, "Dog, stay for a while, Uncle Liu will leave a few for you after he is busy, now it's too busy, you can go around first." ”
Lai Gou'er was stunned, he knew that this old man with no children and no daughters had misunderstood him, but the voice was boiling, and he wanted to explain, but his voice was covered by the loud words of the other bag buyers. And with such a good business today, Lai Gou'er didn't want to sweep the old man of the Liu family, so he had to squeeze out of the crowd again and walk towards the stall of the Lin family's lady.
Ye Yinfeng originally wanted to go out for a walk, but he found that Nalai Gou'er went out one step ahead of him, and he was not familiar with this place for the time being, so he had to stay in this ruined courtyard again. As the sun rose, as the sun began to get a little hot, at the very least, it was a little harsh.
The four little ones seemed to be a whole, and they got up together when they were about to get up. It seems that they have long been accustomed to their dog brother going out early in the morning, and they are even more surprised. They didn't really have much to do, most of the time they just watched the sun rise higher, watched the clouds turn into dragons, and then into big tigers with teeth and claws. For Ye Yinfeng's existence, they were not very accustomed to it at first, but this young man gave them a good feeling of relying on each other. So Sixiao didn't reject him much, but it hadn't reached the point of being closer.
The four children played in the courtyard, and they unscrupulously rolled the rotten grass in the courtyard over and over again, and their bodies were not only stained with the dew that had not yet been seen in the early morning, but also with the mud and dust of the earthen wall that collapsed yesterday evening. Xiaodong was trying to straighten the fallen earthen wall, and he was trying to pile up the collapsed earthen wall on both sides, so that they would have two more houses, and they would not be so crowded.
Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi were watching a team of ants under the corner of the courtyard, and one by one the ants crawled from their old nest to another high place in an orderly manner. Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei counted the teams of ants, but before they could count them clearly, they forgot to count the number of them, so they had to count them again, and sometimes they almost argued over which team of ants had the most numbers.
Xiaobei found a beautiful butterfly under the corner of the wall, the butterfly flapped two beautiful wings, opened and closed, and flew towards the sun, like an elf in the sun. The butterfly flew very slowly, and it didn't fly high, but it was not easy for Xiaobei to catch it, along the corner of the wall, Xiaobei didn't know how much he fell, so he caught up with the butterfly, and saw it stop on a big rock, and the two wings were one by one, which was simply beautiful.
Xiao Bei saw that the butterfly stopped there and didn't fly, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, patted the dirty mud on her hands, and she slowly bowed towards the butterfly cautiously. There are still a few steps left, and you can get close to the butterfly, Xiaobei's nervous heart can't help but pound, she is afraid that she will accidentally startle the butterfly away.
At this moment, the dilapidated small courtyard at the end of Buyi Alley was shrouded in a soft morning sun, and the clear fog began to slowly dissipate. The courtyard was also quiet, a seventeen or eight-year-old girl stared at the butterfly that stayed on a large stone under the courtyard wall, and she focused on it, tiptoeing closer to the butterfly fluttering and flapping its wings. There were also two slender little boys squatting in the corner of the courtyard wall, watching the teams of evacuated ants, and a tiger-headed guy who kept tinkering with the dirt of the collapsed earthen wall. At this time, this courtyard is like a picture of a quiet small courtyard, a picture of a quiet and quiet person.
And at this moment, a series of slight knocks broke the quiet scene, this slight knock came so suddenly, no one thought that at this moment someone would knock on the broken wooden door that was about to fall.
The slight knock on the door startled away the butterfly with its colorful wings and the golden sunlight, and it rose slowly and lightly, and its flapping wings quickened, and it flew higher and higher, and soon went beyond the wall, and finally disappeared into the eyes of the little girl who was full of dirt but did not lose her spirit. The disappeared butterfly, and the little girl who was lost because she couldn't catch the butterfly, and the other three boys raised their heads, with a hint of timidity in their stunned eyes, and they looked at the place where the knock was incessant, and no one thought to open the door.
Xiaobei looked around and found that the blue-shirted brother with the sword didn't know when he entered the earthen house, maybe he went to see the old man who hadn't woken up yet. Thinking of Brother Ye who was carrying the sword, Xiaobei couldn't help but feel the courage he had never felt before, as long as Brother Ye was still in this courtyard, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Jumping three times, he soon came to the tattered wooden door in the courtyard, and through the wide gap in the wooden door, Xiaobei saw two middle-aged men who looked more gentle, standing outside the door and waiting to open the door. Xiaobei moved the door a little away with difficulty, and poked her head out of the door, and only then did she really see the comer.
"Who are you looking for?" Asked the two people in front of the door with a childish voice, Xiaobei's shy face was flushed, her body was still trembling, and she was still a little scared in her heart, after all, it was the first time she was dealing with strangers.
"I'll wait for the two of you to play here, and now the two of us are a little thirsty, I don't know if you can let the two of you go in and get some water to drink, I'm grateful."
Xiao Beijian replied to the uncle with a mole on the corner of his mouth, and the man spoke with some etiquette, not because of a child, but not because of the dirt on her face. How do you look at these two people don't look like bad people, Xiaobei remembered Brother Gou'er's teaching, strangers don't let them into this yard, if they run into human traffickers, they will be in trouble.
"There's no water in my tank," Xiao Bei, who had no contact with strangers, had to tell the truth, and her crisp and ethereal voice made the two middle-aged men uninterested. They looked at the little girl, who was about seven or eight years old with a dirty face, and although they could not see her whole body, they could only see her head poking out of the door. The dirt on her face can't hide her delicate face, especially her black eyes like jewels, which make people like it even more.
"Is there anyone else in your house, can you let us in." The two of them looked at each other, and a scorching light flashed in their eyes, although it was fleeting, but they both knew it, because they also heard two or three crisp children's voices in the courtyard.
Xiaobei, who has no scheming and has never dealt with strangers, is the opponent of these two middle-aged men, and opened the door to her in a few words. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I looked around and saw three boys in ragged clothes, and the eyes of these two middle-aged men were even more bright, and it was difficult to hide the joy in their hearts. Especially the middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were like a hungry wolf having found delicious food, which made him tremble.
And all this was seen by Ye Yinfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, although Ye Yinfeng was not sure of the identities of these two people, he also felt that it was about the same. Although the middle-aged scribe was dressed in cloth, it was difficult to hide his majesty like a high seat, and this person must be a certain high-ranking official for a long time. Another middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth knew at a glance that his official qualities were one level lower than that of this middle-aged scribe, otherwise, how could he only be half a body behind the middle-aged scribe. As for what kind of officials they were, Ye Yinfeng didn't see the official robes they were wearing, and it was difficult to identify, he felt that it was the most likely official of this Jingzhao Mansion. He also heard that Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion has always liked to pay private interviews with Weifu, and he must be accompanied by a long-history official, so the identities of these two people are about to come out.
It's just that what makes Ye Yinfeng feel strange is that this Jingzhao Mansion Yin Ke is the first official in the imperial capital Jinling City, and he wants to pay a private visit, which is acceptable, but the eyes of these two people looking at the four little ones are obviously beyond the scope of his understanding, he doesn't understand what the other party's gaze contains, there is excitement, there is excitement in his bones. These four little ones are just ordinary little beggars in Jinling City, why do they feel excited.
However, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good man, and he is a better child. This thought couldn't help but make a chill rise in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood upside down, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
The two middle-aged men didn't stay long, and chatted casually with the little girl Xiaobei, and they had already got the information they wanted. As soon as they turned to leave, they looked at the four little beggars again, as if the four indecent little beggars had become their possession. The sudden arrival, and then the casual departure, did not bring any special movement to this forgotten courtyard, at least Xiaobei found the fluttering butterfly again, Xiaonan Xiaoxi found another team of moving ants, Xiaodong made the soil more happy.
Ye Yinfeng looked at the backs of the departing two, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and then a sharp light flashed from his eyes, and then he walked out of the earthen house, looking at all this, showing a comfortable smile. The dog hadn't come back yet, and Si Xiao hadn't noticed the rumbling of his belly, and they were playing more happily and devotedly.
Lai Gou'er took the bun wrapped in oiled paper, he rushed to the entrance of the alley, and met the two middle-aged men he saw on the street, he didn't care, squeezed past the two people, he didn't notice that the two middle-aged men exuded a breath that made him feel palpitations.
The dark clouds that had come from the pressure of black finally stepped on, and gradually shrouded the horizon, although the speed was very slow, and the tumbling black clouds became denser and denser, almost overshadowing the sun that had risen in the east for less than an hour.
