23. Pei You's courage
Jiang Wan was a little helpless, in this day's time, two people actually said to themselves one after another, "promise each other".
Maybe he felt that it was not good to speak in Chinese, but the foreigner switched to English and said it in a whisper, Jiang Wan listened intently for a while, and finally realized that the "personal promise" in his mouth should mean "thank you", and I don't know how he got the word wrong. Therefore, when he says I promise you, he is actually saying that I thank you. She was very skeptical, with his level of Chinese, would he be able to survive in the Great Song Dynasty? Talking nonsense like this, when you encounter a more serious one, it is still light to be beaten.
As a traverser, Jiang Wan knows very well how painful it is to come to a place where she is unfamiliar with life and even does not understand the language, if she has time, she wants to help this person, at least help him find a way to live. But she still has to hide from Xie Chengchou now, and she really doesn't have time to spend it here anymore.
Jiang Wan weighed it in her heart, and couldn't let it go, so she bent down and said in English, "If you need my help, wait for me near the gate of Dongcheng tomorrow morning." ”
The foreigner did not expect to hear others communicating with him in a familiar language, and he was stunned at first, then nodded again and again, and muttered a long and fast passage in English.
Jiang Wan hurriedly raised her hand to stop him: "You said it too fast, I don't understand." I see, I'll see you tomorrow morning. ”
The foreigner's appearance was too dark to see, but his sky-blue eyes were shining, and he was so moved that tears filled his eyes when he heard the words, and he reached out to grab Jiang Wan's hand and kiss him, but Jiang Wan jumped back to dodge. Let's not talk about his dirty appearance, how big her heart must be to let him kiss her hand, this is in public, or ancient! A girl who has not left the cabinet is kissed by a man, which can instantly attract a large crowd of onlookers.
Seeing the foreign man's fragile expression as if he had been hurt, Jiang Wan explained simply: "Cultural differences. I'm leaving, I'll talk about it tomorrow. After she finished speaking, she took the rice paper in her hand and ran away.
The foreign man never stood up, he was beaten so painfully that he couldn't stand up at all, looking at the direction Jiang Wan left, he made a cross bow to the sky very reverently, and praised God in his mouth.
Jiang Wan ran away and soon found Jiang Gu looking at the door of the bookstore, Jiang Gu saw the excitement just now, so he also watched with everyone, and after looking at it for a while, he felt bored and went back to buy something to eat, and he waited at the door of the bookstore when he was almost finished.
"Xiao Er, I've bought it, let's go quickly!" Jiang Wan said.
Jiang Gu was a little confused: "Sister, don't we continue to watch?" ”
"Well, I'll do it again next time." Jiang Wan said, she has to think about what kind of reason she wants to come to the county seat alone tomorrow.
Jiang Gu didn't ask much, helped Jiang Wan carry the rice paper, and the two turned around and walked in the direction they were going.
Not long after Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu left, Xie Chengchou slowly walked back from the direction he was chasing, and his little servant whispered comfortingly: "Young master, don't be sad, if you have a fate with that girl, you will definitely meet again in the future." He rolled his eyes and sneered, "Young master, if you really want to find her, put her portrait at the city gate, won't you be able to find someone?" ”
Before he finished speaking, Xie Chengchou knocked on the door of his head with a fan, he was busy covering his head and making an exaggerated appearance, looking at Xie Chengchou in puzzlement.
Xie Chengchou said angrily: "Xie An, what the hell are you thinking?!" That girl is not a wanted prisoner, what am I doing with her portrait at the gate of the city? Even if I really find someone, how can the girl blame me? Stupidity! ”
"Yes, yes, the little one is stupid, young master, don't blame!" Xie An grinned.
When he walked past the foreigner who was still sitting on the ground counting copper coins, Xie An suddenly said in surprise: "Young master, you see there is a barbarian here!" ”
Xie Chengchou glanced over indifferently and sneered: "It's just a barbarian, what's there to be surprised about?" ”
Xie An's mouth should be yes, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to the man, the man had dirty blonde hair, and his face was also dirty and ugly, making people just want to cover their noses and walk past him, worthy of being from a barbarian land, but it is really not exquisite!
Xie Chengchou returned to the bookstore where he met Jiang Wan, walked in and said to the guy who was looking at the store: "What did the girl just now tell you about the one who bought a stack of rice paper?" ”
The guy was waiting to be impatient, but he saw that this master was wearing silk and satin, his eyebrows were picturesque and heroic, whether it was the jade pei worn on his waist, or the folding fan in his hand, it seemed to be a valuable thing, he immediately looked at it, and was about to speak, there was a small piece of silver on the counter, and he was suddenly so happy that he smiled, and with a flick of his sleeves to put away the silver, a brilliant smile bloomed on his face: "This master, what do you want to ask, but that beautiful fairy, looks like a girl in her twenties?" ”
"Yes, that's her!" Xie Chengchou said happily.
After all, it was someone he had met not long ago, and the guy still had an impression, and the strange behavior she made also made him remember it deeply, so he said again and again at this moment: "This master, you don't know, the girl just now is weird." ”
"What kind of weird method?" Xie Chengchou listened with great interest, "You say it one by one, don't miss any of her words, even her voice." ”
The guy laughed, "That's right. As soon as the girl came, she asked the little one if he had any raw rice paper. ”
"Almost raw rice paper? Why did she ask? Xie Chengchou said strangely.
The man said, "The little one also thinks it is strange, but the girl says that her family is poor and cannot afford to buy a good one, so let me give her some bad ones." ”
Xie Chengchou touched his chin, he had seen her twice, she was dressed, and she looked like her family background was really not very good, Xu was a peasant girl from the surrounding villages. But her demeanor and tone, as well as the way she spoke, made him ignore her clothes, she really didn't look like an ordinary peasant girl, and he also saw her buying shengxuan, what did a peasant girl do when she bought paper and went back?
The girl's identity suddenly became confusing in his mind, and he was even more eager to find her.
"After the little one was given to her, she said that she wanted to take some good ones, and the little one didn't ask much, so she gave it to her." The guy continued, "Guess what happened? ”
"What's wrong?" Xie Chengchou said curiously.
The man frowned, with obvious confusion on his face: "That girl mixed the two stacks of paper with each other, and couldn't tell which ones were good and which ones were bad!" ”
Xie Chengchou's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with great interest: "Why is this?" ”
The guy said: "The little one also asked, and the girl replied, 'Guess what', and the little one honestly replied that she couldn't guess, so the girl said, 'I think too', and the little one is still waiting for her to tell the little one, but who knows that she didn't say anything later, and the little one was choked!" ”
Xie Chengchou couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "What a wonderful person!" Interesting! "It's a mysterious girl who saved his life, it's really extraordinary!
The man said, "Master, if you know the reason why that girl did that, can you give Xiao Ji a solution?" Otherwise, the little ones will not be able to sleep well. ”
Xie Chengchou smiled: "What can I guess about that girl's behavior?" ”
The guy had a bitter look on his face.
Although he didn't catch anyone, Xie Chengchou was in a good mood at the moment, and said after laughing: "If you see that girl again next time, remember to come to the county government to report, I will definitely have a heavy reward!" ”
The guy was surprised: "You...... Are you the son of Xie Zhi County? ”
"Exactly!" Xie Chengchou opened the folding fan with a bang, shook it gently, and was graceful.
The guy was shocked: "That girl can't be a personal offender, right?" ”
Without waiting for Xie Chengchou to speak, Xie An reprimanded: "What a criminal! That's our young master's sweetheart! ”
Xie Chengchou smiled and said nothing, standing tall and dignified and reserved.
The guy said repeatedly: "It's the little one who said the wrong thing!" ”
"Okay, if you see someone in the future, remember to come to him, Xie An, you wrote it down for me." Xie Chengchou said.
Xie An smiled: "Master, you can rest assured, how dare the little one mess up your important matter!" ”
Xie An said a few more words to the guy, but Xie Chengchou walked out of the bookstore first, his eyes swept from one end to the other, and he sighed in his heart. How good fate should he have to meet her again in the vast sea of people? But she didn't seem to want to recognize him. However, he would not give up lightly, but always found her, so that she could see the sincerity of his promise.
Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu walked all the way to find it, and soon met Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu.
Seeing that it was not early, the family found a shop on the side of the road and ordered some home-cooked stir-fried dishes. The dishes with all the color and flavor made the four of them move their fingers, and the family didn't talk much, and they discussed it after eating first.
Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu thought that it was safer to make some snacks after the field trip, according to what they saw this time, the business on the food stalls was not bad, and in the process of their observation, some stalls were sold out and closed. Coupled with the cost issues considered in the past, the two decided to do this after discussion.
Jiang Wan didn't object when she heard this, she couldn't make a lot of money selling snacks but she couldn't lose too much, since her father and mother decided to do this, she would naturally fully support it. She also expressed her opinion in passing, and proposed to rent a house in the county to avoid the pain of traveling. There was no suspense, and her father and mother both objected. The two of them think that this stage is just starting, there is no certainty of success or failure, there is no need to rent a house to live in the county, anyway, it doesn't take too long to go back and forth every day, they are used to walking, this distance is nothing to them.
Jiang Wan saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she didn't persuade her, and the family discussed what snacks to sell, and finally settled on some cold food. After all, Yamashita Village is far away from the county seat, and it is estimated that it will be cold and unpalatable if you take advantage of the hot food to get it to the county seat, and it is too troublesome to take on the cooking utensils and make them in the county seat. Xu Fenggu recalled that there was a kind of wild vegetable on the back mountain of Shanxia Village that was particularly delicious, and it was made into a fresh meat cake with wild vegetables, which could be eaten hot or cold.
As he spoke, the saliva at the corner of Jiang Gu's mouth was about to run, and Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh at him for a while. The family bought a lot of flour and pork and went home with a smile.
When the four members of the Jiang family arrived home, it was already afternoon, Pei You was studying in the shadows under the plane tree, and when he saw the four of them coming back, he put down the book and greeted him: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Feng, are you still going well this way?" ”
Xu Fenggu smiled: "Shundang, Shundang!" Mr. Pei, I bought you the paper you wanted. Xiao Er, why don't you give it to Mr. Pei? ”
The paper was held in Jiang Gu's hand, and he pouted and handed it over.
Pei You took it, took out his purse and said, "Thank you, auntie, how much is the total text?" ”
This Xu Fenggu really didn't know, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wanben lowered her head and didn't know what to look at, but when she heard Pei You ask, she didn't raise her head, and said casually: "Seventy-five Wen." ”
Although Jiang Wan didn't look at herself, Pei You still had a sense of joy that she finally paid attention to herself, he looked at the amount of paper in his hand when he counted the money, hesitated for a while and said, "This seems to be more than what I usually buy?" ”
Jiang Wan thought to herself, can it be more? Nearly half of it was bought by me for ten pennies to give it to you for free.
But she naturally didn't say anything.
Xu Fenggu glanced sideways at her silent daughter, Jiang Wan went to buy paper, and it was estimated that she would be able to answer Pei You's question, but she didn't say anything, which was a little embarrassing, Xu Fenggu had no choice but to laugh dryly: "It's about the price of paper being cheap recently, right?" ”
Pei You smiled on his face, sighed in his heart, didn't say anything more, counted out the money and handed it to Xu Fenggu, and said, "Thank you." ”
"Mr. Pei is too polite, but it's just convenient, our neighbors, what is this." Xu Fenggu smiled and said goodbye to Pei You.
Jiang Funian nodded politely to Pei You, while Jiang Wan and Jiang Gu didn't look at Pei You and followed their father and mother back.
When she got home, Xu Fenggu said, "Wanwan, Mr. Pei asked, why didn't you go back?" She didn't mean to blame, she just had something to blame. Her daughter has always been well-behaved and polite outside, and she will not be so ignorant of etiquette.
Jiang Wan smiled: "Mother, if it were someone else, I would definitely have to reply, but isn't the other party Mr. Pei?" I think it would be better for me to talk to him less, lest he think that I want to do to him. ”
Xu Fenggu sighed when she heard this, she remembered Xu Chunying's tone and demeanor when she talked to her, as if her family Wanwan was desperately trying to hook up with her son, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She said helplessly: "That's fine." ”
Jiang Wan didn't want to talk more about Pei You's topic, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Fenggu: "Mother, I want to go to the county seat by myself tomorrow." ”
Xu Fenggu said strangely: "What's wrong?" She knew that her daughter was squeamish, and she didn't want to go with her every time she went to the county before, she only said that she was too tired to walk, and she didn't know why she wanted to go again after just going there this time.
"I'd like to see it again." Jiang Wan said, "There are no thieves in our county, it doesn't matter if I go by myself." ”
Xu Fenggu said: "That's not good. Although we don't have so many scruples, but after all, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, what if there is a mistake outside? Although our county is safe, we should not be too relaxed. We're going to make pastries tomorrow, we can't go, let's go together the day after tomorrow, okay? ”
"Mother, I'm so old, why do you still treat me as a child." Jiang Wan said coquettishly, "I just want to go tomorrow." ”
Xu Fenggu was so shaken by her that she couldn't help it, and finally had to say: "You either go with Xiao Er, or don't go." ”
"Mother, I can really do it alone...... Jiang Wan pleaded for a long time, but she still couldn't make Xu Fenggu change her mind, so she had to accept the fact that she brought Jiang Gu more of this oil bottle.
Seeing that the sky was still bright, Xu Fenggu decided to go to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables. Tomorrow you have to spend a day making pastries, and the day after tomorrow you can sell them in the county seat. Anyway, the rest of the family had nothing to do, so they decided to go up the mountain together. Jiang Wan likes this feeling of doing everything together as a family, when she climbs the mountain, it is like going on a spring outing, she happily picks this up, picks up that one to show Xu Fenggu, and asks her if she can eat it, whether it is delicious or not, and how to eat it.
Xu Fenggu told Jiang Wan what she knew, and if she didn't know, she told the truth, pointed to a plant and said, "This is the wild vegetable I said, I made it for you to eat a few days ago, do you remember?" ”
Jiang Wan shook her head, they only remembered the taste, where did they remember what the food looked like? But this time, I took it seriously. Not knowing the name of this wild vegetable made Jiang Wan a little regretful, in modern times, she could take a photo and send it to Weibo Aite Some big Vs asked them to help recognize it.
After recognizing the wild vegetables, Jiang Wan and the four of them dispersed, there are almost no fierce beasts on this side of the mountain near the village, they are all small animals, and they are very safe.
Jiang Wan was digging the grass with great interest, but she was thinking about the foreigner in her heart. Tomorrow she has to bring Jiang Gu, so I'm afraid there are some things to cover up. Although Jiang Gu is a child, she is not a stupid person who can't think about anything, she has to think about how to keep him from suspicious. Originally, her idea was to contact the foreigner for a few days, tell him that she had met a missionary who had come to the Great Song Dynasty, learned their language, and asked him to help keep the secret, and told the public that she knew their language and was taught by him, and as for why she asked him to say it...... He can give him any reason, and he looks like he's pretty confused. But that had to be when no one else was present, otherwise she was chatting happily with the other party in English, and Jiang Gu next to her should have felt that his sister was possessed by something strange.
Jiang Wan thought that she still had paper, ink and pen at home, so she decided to bring it, and when the time came, she would write, Jiang Gu couldn't understand it, so let him go to the side to eat, and don't let him see that he was writing in English. But I don't know if the foreigner is illiterate, and that's a problem.
Jiang Wan was thinking about it, and a cautious voice came from behind Leng Buding: "Miss Jiang......"
Jiang Wan was so frightened that her heart beat wildly, and when she turned around, she accidentally slipped down because she was on the edge of the slope.
"Ginger girl!" The other party exclaimed.
Jiang Wan just slid down three or four meters away, and her hands and feet were not sprained, but she was frightened, and her lips were a little pale. She was still sitting on the slope, because her hips hit the ground when she slid down, and there was some faint pain in that area. She didn't feel good at rubbing the sore spots, and when she looked up, she saw Pei You standing on the edge of the slope in a panic, as if she wanted to come down and pull her.
Jiang Wan didn't know when he came, but now she was angry when she saw him, and said angrily: "Don't come here!" ”
Pei You froze suddenly, there was a trace of grievance in his eyes, and the foot that had just stretched out retracted, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't stand firm under his feet, and the whole person rolled down the hillside.
Jiang Wan stared at him as he rolled past her, and finally stopped at the bottom of the slope.
Jiang Wan: "...... "What kind of person is this!"
Just when Pei You fell and couldn't distinguish things, the rest of the Jiang family ran over when they heard the movement here, and when they saw Pei You, their expressions were a little surprised.
"Mr. Pei, why are you here?" Xu Fenggu said strangely, her eyes swept towards Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan felt that she was extremely innocent, she was digging wild vegetables, and Pei You's sudden appearance scared her so much that she slid down the hill, and made her mother suspicious again.
Without waiting for Jiang Wan to speak to defend herself, Pei You had already stood up with her clothes dressed, looked up at Xu Fenggu and the others on the hillside, and her face was flushed: "I'm here to chop wood...... As a result, he accidentally fell. ”
At this time, Xu Fenggu also saw the firewood knife and the back basket next to her, so she asked with concern, "Mr. Pei, do you want to care?" Did you fall somewhere? ”
"It's fine." Pei You said busily. Although he rolled down the hillside, he was lucky, only a few bruises.
Xu Fenggu's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly said, "Mr. Pei, what's wrong with your palm?" ”
Pei You looked down and saw that the wound that had been cut before had cracked again, and he hurriedly put his hand behind his back and said in a low voice: "Yes...... Old wounds, no harm. The lowered eyebrows quickly turned to Jiang Wan.
Xu Fenggu couldn't help but mutter: "Mr. Pei, you are a reader who wants to write with a pen, you can't protect this hand well." Can you come up? Come up quickly, see where there are still injuries, if you are strict, you have to go to the doctor to see. ”
When the two were talking, Jiang Wan, who was halfway up the hill, had already climbed back to the hillside. When Xu Fenggu climbed up, she glanced at her, and Jiang Gu asked directly: "Sister, why did you fall down?" ”
Jiang Wan snorted in a low voice: "It's not that I'm scared!" ”
When Jiang Gu heard this, his eyes fell down the hillside, and it was obvious that the culprit was Pei You.
Pei You's face flushed, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm very sorry, I'm ...... I didn't mean to. He couldn't help sighing in his heart, before he saw that Jiang Wan's family had come to the back mountain, he suddenly had an impulse, took a basket and a woodcutter to come here in the name of chopping wood, and looked for a while before bypassing the rest of the Jiang family and finding Jiang Wan. Looking at her beautiful and quiet face, he was stunned for a while, and it took a while to muster up the courage to explain to her the events of that night, but what he didn't expect was that he messed up again, and not only caused her to slide down the hill, but also rolled down himself.
Pei You's mood suddenly became depressed, and the courage that he had so hard to muster disappeared as if he was deflated. He wished he could be braver, have the courage to persevere, instead of coming and going like now.
"It's okay, it's okay, my family Wanwan won't blame Mr. Pei." Xu Fenggu said with a smile, she also knew that her daughter was not willing to talk to Mr. Pei now, so she snatched the conversation, "Mr. Pei, come up quickly, master, what are you looking at, why don't you help Mr. Pei?" ”
"No, no!" Pei You hurriedly waved his hand.
However, Jiang Funian had already jumped down the hill in a few steps, holding Pei You steadily, and slowly bringing him back to the hillside.
Pei You said abruptly: "Thank you Uncle Jiang, Aunt Feng." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Fenggu glanced at Jiang Funian, and then at the back basket on the ground.
Jiang Funian took Pei You's back basket and woodcutter and said, "Mr. Pei, I helped you chop it, you can sit aside and rest for a while." ”
Pei You hurriedly said: "What's so embarrassing about this? I'll do it myself. ”
"Mr. Pei, my family is in charge of the work neatly, it can be installed in a while, Mr. Pei, your hands should be used for reading and writing, these rough jobs in our neighborhood, can help some of them." Xu Fenggu said with a smile.
"I've bothered Aunt Feng a lot, I really don't have the face to even let you help cut the firewood, so let me do it myself." Pei You said with guilt on his face.
"Why is this shameless? Mr. Pei, don't worry too much about us, maybe we will let you help a lot in the future, and the only thing we can help you is these little things, and you still suffer a loss. Xu Fenggu said with a smile.
Speaking of which, Pei You really couldn't talk about Xu Fenggu, so he had to stand aside and watch.
Jiang Funian moved very fast, and after a while, he filled most of the firewood in the basket, and Xu Fenggu quietly bit his ear with him, asking him not to pretend too much, for fear that Mr. Pei would not be able to carry it.
Pei You looked at it, and glanced to the side.
Jiang Wan was digging wild vegetables, Jiang Gu was by his side, she saw that Jiang Gu had dug up a lot of leaves at the bottom when she was digging, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Good things have made you miserable, can't you be gentle?" Do you have a grudge against it? ”
Jiang Gu looked aggrieved: "But my hand strength is so big." ”
"Give me all the reasons, come, learn from ......me," Jiang Wan showed Jiang Gu with a serious face, "You have to treat it well as your future wife, is it possible for you to be so aggressive with your wife?" ”
"This is a wild vegetable...... Jiang Gu couldn't help but mutter, but it was indeed lighter when he started.
Pei You couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and met Xu Fenggu's puzzled expression, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly coughed lightly and asked in disguise: "Aunt Feng, what are you digging in?" ”
"Oh, it's a wild vegetable, it's delicious." Xu Fenggu didn't suspect it, but when Pei You stared at Jiang Wan just now and wondered what they were doing, she said with a smile, "If Mr. Pei doesn't dislike it, I'll send some to your house when it's done later." ”
"Auntie is so polite!" Pei You hurriedly said, he still wanted to push again, but Xu Fenggu already knew what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "What are you polite to me?" That's it. Well, the firewood is also cut, you take it. ”
Pei You had to put the basket on his back, say goodbye to Xu Fenggu and Jiang Funian, and walked down the mountain step by step.
"Recently, I've seen Mr. Pei differently," Xu Fenggu was a little puzzled, "Didn't he never chop wood before?" Unexpectedly, now he not only chopped firewood, but also went to the stream to wash his clothes by himself! That morning I was taken aback when I saw him carrying a wooden basin to the stream. ”
Jiang Wan thought to herself, even if Pei You had a little conscience, she finally knew that she had to take good care of her sister.
"Mr. Pei's family affairs have nothing to do with us." Jiang Funian said casually, and took the basket back to pick wild vegetables.
"That's right." Xu Fenggu muttered and was not idle.
When the sky is dark, the family returns with a full load.
Early the next morning, Jiang Wan brought the prepared things, took the money Xu Fenggu gave her, and beckoned Jiang Gu to set off.
Although Jiang Gu said that she was very willing to accompany Jiang Wan to the county seat, she felt strange in the end, didn't she say that she was optimistic yesterday, why did she go again today? But Jiang Wan promised that he could eat whatever he wanted when he arrived in the county seat, so he felt that there was nothing to ask, anyway, his sister must have asked her for what he did. For example, he beat Xu Tucai that day and asked him not to talk about it, although Xu Tucai can get out of bed now, his legs and feet are still very difficult, and no one thinks that this matter has anything to do with his sister.
When she walked to the gate of the east city of the county seat, Jiang Wan took out the headscarf she had prepared in advance and wrapped it on her head. The foreigner is really a bit conspicuous, and now that she is remembered again, it is better to keep a low profile.
Jiang Gu said strangely: "Sister, what are you doing here?" ”
Jiang Wan said: "Heat, sunscreen." ”
Jiang Gu looked up at the sky, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the sun has cooled down, and he doesn't feel hot at all......
Seeing Jiang Wanwu walking in, Jiang Gu hurriedly followed.
Jiang Wan searched around the gate of the East City, and finally found the foreigner leaning there under the wall. He seemed to have found a place to wash his face, and although his blonde hair was still a little gray and unwashed, his handsome face was revealed, probably in his early thirties. However, for the aesthetics of the Great Song people, this face full of exotic customs is really not their dish, and many people accidentally saw him when they passed by, and they all turned their faces away in disgust and hurried by.
The foreigner had been sitting there since the gate of the city had been opened in the morning, his eyes wide open, staring at it for fear that he would miss the only good Samaritan who could help him, and he thought that she must be a messenger sent by God to save him, a believer, from purgatory. The pair of sky-blue clear eyes have been staring at the city gate, but it is a pity that Jiang Wan wrapped his head with a headscarf today, plus he can't tell the appearance of these Great Song people, Jiang Wan walked in front of him, and he suddenly looked over.
Jiang Gu glanced at the blond-haired and blue-eyed exotic with some fear, and whispered Jiang Wan's sleeve and said, "Sister, this barbarian looks so scary, let's go quickly!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the barbarian suddenly screamed and pounced, so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Jiang Wan back.
Who knew that the other party just took out something wrapped in kraft paper from his arms, opened it and handed it over as if he were courteous, muttering something in his mouth.
Jiang Gu couldn't understand his words, but Jiang Wan understood, and suddenly felt a little funny.
The thing this man wrapped in paper was a bun, because he had been hiding it in his arms, and it still had some temperature, and a trace of fleshy fragrance wafted out. This person is saying that this hamburger is very delicious, and ask her to share it.
It turned out that the hamburger in his mouth yesterday was referring to meat buns, and it is estimated that he couldn't find the right word to call it meat buns, so he called it a hamburger...... It seems that he was beaten yesterday because he had no money but ate the overlord meat bun, right?
"No need." Jiang Wan spoke in Chinese and waved her hand to show what she meant.
The foreigner was a little disappointed, and refused to give up, and said in broken Chinese: "Xiang! ”
Jiang Wan smiled and continued to wave her hand, her attitude was more resolute.
The foreigner had no choice but to put away the meat bun and carefully put it in his arms, looking at the little child next to Jiang Wan who was staring at him with fear and curiosity with some curiosity.
"Is this your child? She looks so cute, like the purest and most beautiful angel around God! He exclaimed with sincerity on his face. He wanted to say good things to make Jiang Wan happy, but unfortunately, he couldn't tell the age of the Great Song people, and naturally felt that Jiang Gu was Jiang Wan's child, but slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg.
Jiang Wan really wants to support her forehead, this person is really ...... No one cares about him, he learned a few words in the Great Song Dynasty and coupled with this nonsense speaking skills, he will definitely be beaten to death by the angry people of the Great Song Dynasty who don't know the truth.
Jiang Wan waved her hand and motioned for him to go with him and find a secluded place to talk first.
The foreigner only thought that he had flattered her, and happily followed her.
Jiang Gu was a little panicked, and asked Jiang Wan in a low voice: "Sister, what's the matter with this barbarian?" Why did he follow us? Do you know him? ”
"I've seen it before." Jiang Wan said, "He has no food, and he doesn't understand what we say here, it's very pitiful." ”
"Yes...... But we don't understand what he said. Jiang Gu secretly glanced at the foreigner, "He's so strong, what if he goes crazy and beats us?" ”
The foreigner's body is indeed relatively strong, with long thick hair, and a little stubble growing out of his chin, which is really scary to look at, no wonder Jiang Gu will be scared.
Jiang Wan smiled: "Do you think he's crazy?" He's not crazy, he doesn't hit people, he's just a little ...... Emotional. ”
"Affection?" Jiang Gu was puzzled.
Jiang Wan thought for a while and said, "It's easy to be startled, you don't care about him for a while." ”
"But sister, how can we help him?" Jiang Gu hesitated, "He can't understand what we're saying, and we can't understand what he's saying, so we can't say it at all." ”
"Just gesticulating." Jiang Wan said matter-of-factly.
"Huh?" Jiang Gu looked dazed.
Jiang Wan poked Jiang Gu's cheek with a smile and handed him twenty yuan: "I'm a little hungry, are you hungry?" Buy some food and come back, right? ”
Jiang Gu took the silver but refused to leave: "But sister, let you be alone with this barbarian......"
"There are so many people here, what can happen? Just go and come back quickly. Jiang Wan said nonchalantly.
Jiang Gu hesitated for a while, and finally grabbed the copper coin and ran away, thinking that if he ran faster, he would be able to come back earlier.
Jiang Wan saw that this place was almost there, and as soon as Jiang Gu opened it, she said to the foreigner: "My family doesn't know that I understand your language, in front of outsiders, you try to tell me what you say here, okay?" ”
The foreigner said yes and didn't ask anything.
Jiang Wan said again: "Also, that was my little brother just now." ”
He suddenly looked surprised, and then a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I, I admit the wrong ......"
"It's okay." Jiang Wan also mentioned it in passing, and she didn't mean to settle accounts with him, so she casually revealed, "My name is Jiang Wan, and you should call me 'girl' in front of other people." ”
The word girl Jiang Wan was said in Chinese, and after the foreigner had pronounced it a few times and was almost familiar with it, she continued to ask: "How did you come to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
As soon as the foreigner heard her question, he immediately covered his face and began to cry.
Jiang Wan: "......" are all thirty years old, and they actually cry when they say they cry.
In the midst of sobbing, the foreigner finally spoke intermittently about his misery.
The blonde man's name was Robert Nelson, and he came from a country called the Oslo Empire, and his father was a large manor with a large farmstead, and he lived a very luxurious life. But later, his father's brother secretly found someone to poison his father, took his manor for himself, and killed him too, and he escaped with a loyal servant, who knew that the loyal servant later sold him for a small amount of money, and he went among the slave owners, and finally escaped, and somehow escaped on a ship, and then fled from the ships to the great ships, and finally came to this continent, and after disembarking he sneaked into the carriage of a convoy, and came here in a circle.
Robert Nelson, who is of different races and does not speak the language, was so hungry that he couldn't stand it for two days after he arrived here, so he went to grab a meat bun he called a hamburger, and before he could finish it, he was chased out by the shopkeeper and beaten up. If it weren't for Jiang Wan's kindness to give him copper money to buy meat buns, he would soon starve to death.
This story was full of praise for Jiang Wan later, and she got goosebumps when she heard it.
Halfway through Robert's tragic story, Jiang Gu trotted back. He bought back some pastries, handed some to Jiang Wan, looked at the foreigner crying in surprise, and asked Jiang Wan in a low voice: "Sister, why is he crying?" What is he talking about? ”
Jiang Wan pretended not to understand Robert's words, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, maybe I'm talking about his sadness...... We need to pretend to understand. Otherwise, no one can understand the tragic sad things, which is really pitiful. ”
"Oh......" Jiang Gu nodded ignorantly.
After Robert finished speaking, all his praise for Jiang Wan finally stopped, and Jiang Wan said, "Little Er, I don't like to eat this, can you buy me something else?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Gu's eyes widened.
Jiang Wan took out some copper coins and gave them to him: "Go ahead." ”
"Okay......" Jiang Gu pursed his mouth, took the copper coin and ran away.
Jiang Wan spoke to Robert again: "I'm sorry to hear that your pain has passed, your father will take care of you in heaven, please don't be too sad." ”
"Thanks......" Robert sobbed again.
Jiang Wan said: "Then what are your plans next?" Do you want to go home for revenge, or stay here? ”
Robert said gloomily: "I have nothing, what can I take revenge?" I just want to live now. He looked at Jiang Wan, "You are the only one here who can communicate with me, please help me, I will repay you in the future, and you will definitely go to heaven after you die." ”
Jiang Wan: "...... In the future, please don't say 'die' to the people here, the people here are taboo about this. "If he continues to talk like this, she really can't help him.
Robert didn't quite understand the taboo here, but it was rare for someone to remind him that he naturally had to keep it in his heart, so he responded repeatedly.
"It's better to have a big Song name here, I think you will be called Rona in the future?" Jiang Wan said.
"Ronna? Good! I love the name! Rona smiled happily. His eyes were still red, and tears hung in the corners of his eyes, but he smiled sincerely, like a child.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but think, this foreigner is really innocent enough, it is estimated that even if she sells him, he will still help her count the money, right?
Jiang Wan sighed in her heart and said, "So, in order to survive, are you willing to do some physical labor that purely looks at people's faces?" ”
"I do!" Rona immediately nodded vigorously, but as if he remembered something, he looked at Jiang Wan hesitantly, and said hesitantly for a while, "Although I am willing to do anything to live, there are some things that I don't want to do unless I have to." ”
Jiang Wan didn't understand what he meant, and asked suspiciously, "Something?" ”
Rona squirmed for a while, and only blushed for a long time before he said, "That's it...... Betray my **. ”
Jiang Wan: "......"
