At this time, a pile of firewood was raised in the ruined temple. The firelight illuminated the entire ruined temple, and several people's faces were wiped dirty.
Shangguan Yao held Nangong Ying in her arms and used her clothes as a quilt. She slept soundly.
Now she regretted messing around with Nangong Ling, because the days of begging were too tiring. They were obviously rich, so why did they become beggars together.
However, after she left the capital, she saw many poor people and realized that not all places were as prosperous as Kyoto.
Fortunately, they always meet kind-hearted people on the road, and there is no problem in keeping their bellies full.
Nangong Ling also had a headache about what to do with these abducted children. If they were in Kyoto, he could take them to a shelter where they could study or study.
However, it is impossible for him to return to Kyoto now, and he will not be able to escape if their whereabouts are discovered.
At this time, an older boy took out a pile of cooked potatoes from the fire and distributed them to everyone.
He took another one and handed it to Nangong Ling: "Ah Ling, eat potatoes, they are delicious."
Nangong Ling took it and said, "Thank you."
He didn't eat because he wasn't actually hungry.
Suddenly everyone looked at Nangong Ling dumbfounded, meaning that if he didn't eat, they wouldn't eat either.
"What's wrong with you? Eat quickly." Nangong Ling said.
Another child named Ahu said: "Are you really going to find your parents? Can we go with you?"
Nangong Ling wanted to say no, but when he saw each of them looking longingly, he finally understood why his mother wanted to open a shelter.
Without shelters, there would be many more homeless people like them.
Nangong Ling took a bite and felt it was really sweet. She said in a deep voice, "I decided to send you to a place first and then find them."
Shangguan Yao answered: "Ling'er, do you want to send them to a shelter? But then wouldn't we be able to go to southern Xinjiang?"
If they go back now, it will be difficult for them to leave the capital again.
Nangong Ling nodded and said, "Dad taught me that a man must put the overall situation first. If we just leave them like this, what if they run into another group of bad guys?"
"At worst, we can find a way out after we go back." Nangong Ling's eyes were cold, revealing a hint of sharpness and cunning.
For a moment, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
Nangong Rui ran to the door warily. Through the dilapidated door panel, he saw an extremely ordinary-looking carriage parked in front of the ruined temple, and a beautiful woman came out of the carriage.
Suddenly, another middle-aged man came and took the beautiful woman out of the carriage.
Concubine Su did not expect that when she and Su Rui came out of the palace in a hurry, they would live in a ruined temple.
Su Rui hurriedly said politely: "We will stay for one night. Brothers are tired from the journey. We have important things tomorrow."
In fact, they wanted to meet with several generals of the Su family army here.
Concubine Su could actually wait in the palace and let Su Huai send someone to pick her up, but he was worried that Concubine Su's plans would change after meeting the prince.
"Come here, go and clean up the ruined temple." Su Rui ordered.
"Second Master, there seems to be someone in the ruined temple."
Su Rui said sadly: "Do you still need me to teach you?"
"yes."
Suddenly, before they could rush into the ruined temple, Nangong Ling was already guarding the door with a few beggars. When he saw the first person who came in, he said unceremoniously: "Uncle, didn't you see there was light in the house? So... The light at night means that someone, you adults are trying to rob our ruined temple, are you ashamed?"
