Chapter 771: Going out to beg for a living
In half of the mountain villa, Honggu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, finally got a piece of news that made her feel bittersweet, Tao Dasong, the owner of Taojiazhai, reported that in a village in Taojiazhai, someone found a full set of women's clothes.
As soon as Honggu saw these clothes, she immediately recognized that they were Li Taoyao's clothes. "What about people? How only clothes? Honggu didn't dare to think deeply, Li Tao at this time was powerless, what would happen to him and lose his clothes?
Tao Dasong naturally understood what Honggu didn't say, and said with relief: "The waiter doesn't have to think too badly, the disadvantage is that someone has lost a set of clothes, maybe that girl thinks it is more convenient to pretend to be a man when she goes out, so she changes it herself." ”
Honggu didn't dare to announce Li Taoyao's identity to the public, although she didn't know much about the current situation, she also knew that Li Taoyao's situation was very bad now. If it was known that she had left the Wei Mansion, I don't know what would happen.
"Then follow that suit and look for it!" Honggu's voice trembled and said, "If you find someone wearing that dress, you must bring it alive!" ”
Tao Dasong was ordered to go back, the fox demon has its own way to enter and exit the Mid-Mountain Villa, and after a while, a gray fox jumped along the cliff to the official road of Wanquan Mountain, and met Li Taoyao who was grilling fish by the stream.
Sure enough, as Tao Dasong guessed, the young man in front of him wearing his Zhai Yong's lost clothes was a beautiful girl.
Tao Dasong even recognized that the fish-patterned sword was the Venerable's thing, and he guessed that the relationship between this woman and the Venerable was extraordinary, and it was not easy to use the strong, and he didn't want the credit to be robbed by others, so he had to hide his whereabouts and follow all the way to find opportunities.
When Honggu was anxious, Xuewa was very comfortable in the dungeon of Houfu. The guards of the dungeon in the antechamber all knew the beautiful fairy-like maid beside the princess, and she was imprisoned in the dungeon with Wei Rong.
While everyone felt a little strange, they also knew that these two people were powerful people around their masters, and they would be released in a while, so they didn't dare to treat them as ordinary prisoners. They are all courteous, but they have more rare quiet and leisurely time than when they are outside.
Wei Youqing slept in Fanyin Pavilion for a day and a night. No one dared to try to cast any spells on him, it was he who didn't know how to go back and face Li Taoyao.
The Zhending team of Jinse Town saw Li Taoyao crying pitifully, and Li Taoyao looked much younger after dressing up as a small girl, looking less than fourteen or fifteen years old, they couldn't help but feel pity, and ordered someone to open a small crack in the corner gate of the town gate and call Li Taoyao in.
Li Taoyao was sad to herself, and when she saw the town gate suddenly open, a townsman gestured to let her pass. Li Taoyao saw that Zhending was very kind-faced, and was wearing the military uniform of Li Ding's local security army, and felt that he was not a bad person, so he walked forward according to Zhending's gestures.
"Little brother," it was a middle-aged townman, with a simple smile on his dark and thin face, "Don't be afraid, you don't have to spend the night in the mountains, the team is letting you in." ”
Li Taoyao was stunned, and then remembered that it was late at night, and she really wanted to find a place to spend the night. She glanced at the Zhending in front of her gratefully, clasped her fists and saluted, "Thank you." ”
Li Taoyao cried for a long time, her voice was hoarse, she deliberately suppressed her voice again, and Zhending couldn't see it in the black light, thinking that it was really a little girl, and led her to the house where Zhending rested on weekdays.
Although there were all kinds of strange smells in the room, the warm stove dispelled all the cold. In particular, Na Zhending also brought hot vegetable porridge and steamed cakes.
Li Taoyao thanked him and ate the food brought by the town. Although the smell made her want to vomit all the time, she felt that since she would never go back in the future, she would have to live a rough life in the rivers and lakes, and she would have to live so finely again.
Li Taoyao slept in Zhending's house all night, and the next morning, the group of Zhending came back from the sentry at night, and they were very happy to see that Li Taoyao had cleaned up the house.
"You little brother is a fine man, but you don't know where you live? Why is it a person walking in the mountains at night? ”
Some Zhending asked and another Zhending brought breakfast, but Li Taoyao really couldn't eat it, and felt that her stomach was turning upside down, and she was very uncomfortable even smelling it. She pushed the food aside and refused to eat it again, and replied to the question:
"My parents are gone, and I want to go out and earn a living on my own."
Li Taoyao is telling the truth, she was already sad when she said it, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Those townsmen were already full of sympathy when they heard this, and when they saw Li Taoyao's eyes red, they believed her words even more, and after sighing for a while, one of them asked, "Then where are you going to beg for a living?" ”
Li Taoyao shook her head sadly, she wanted to find Yue Qingqing, but Jiangnan was far away, and she didn't know if she could find her.
But Li Taoyao is not a person who only worries, thinking that this town looks very rich, and in this big mountain, it is easy to hide people, it is better to just pangeng here for a while, and then leave when there is a suitable time.
Therefore, Li Taoyao replied: "I have relatives in Jiangnan Province, but the distance is too far, I wonder if there are people in this town who can go there?" Let's walk together. ”
The town Ding smiled when he heard this: "This is a coincidence, the Jingxin son in our town often goes to Lingnan Road to buy goods, and he has to stop in Jiangnan Road along the way. ”
Li Taoyao was very happy and said, "Then Brother Lao will ask for me." ”
Zhending happily agreed, and then another Zhending who came to take over walked in, Li Taoyao thought that this place was a place for the townsmen to rest in turn, and he would never be able to live, so he asked:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of work can be done in this town? As long as you can manage food and housing. ”
The newcomer also heard others talk about Li Taoyao, and asked, "Does the little brother know how to write and settle accounts?" ”
Li Taoyao felt that there was hope when she heard this, and hurriedly replied: "I can write, and I can also settle accounts." ”
Zhen Ding said: "That's easy, there is a newly opened rice shop not far from here, recruiting guys, little brother can try it." ”
Li Taoyao happily thanked Zhending, and according to the address he said, he found the rice shop on the corner. It's a humble rice shop, the store is very small, but the courtyard inside is huge.
Li Taoyao walked into the store and saw a person sitting on the counter inside, the person was looking at the account book with his head down, wearing a green cotton robe, I don't know if it was the boss or the guy. Li Taoyao arched his hand and said, "Boss, do you want to recruit a buddy?" ”
The man was obviously worried about these account books, and when he heard Li Taoyao's voice, he first waved his hand impatiently, and then seemed to be taken aback, and raised his head in some astonishment.
