In a hotel where a few people were staying, after lunch, Xiao Yu gave the waiter a few coins and asked the waiter to make medicine for Yu Liufei, while he took advantage of his free time to go out and buy some new clothes.
The waiter happily took the money and went away.
lunch.
The two of them ordered a table full of food and had a good time.
"Brother Yu, just rest in the house. I'll buy some clean clothes and come back." Xiao Yu said to Yu Liufei who was sitting aside drinking some moist tea.
Yu Liufei frowned and asked, "Xiaoyu, how about I go with you? It would be nice to have someone to take care of you."
Xiao Yu waved her hand, "Just buy it at the satin shop next door. Brother Yu, don't worry, wait for the second brother to make you some medicine and apply it. I'll go back right away. Wait for me to buy clothes and change into new clothes." It’s also cleaner and more comfortable.”
When Yu Liufei heard this, he raised his sleeves, smelled around, and said with a smile: "These days, without the stinky smell on our bodies, we don't feel like Master's chess-crazy disciples anymore, hahaha. "
Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Come on, just rest peacefully and don't follow Master's bad habit of not taking a shower or changing clothes, lest you be unable to find a wife in the future."
Yu Liufei shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I really haven't thought about finding a wife. I look like a tall and thick girl. Who's blind girl can fall in love with me? Go ahead, don't delay, wait for Uncle Liu." When the old man comes back, we still have to hurry."
Xiaoyu glanced at the bamboo pole she had placed in the corner of the room, thinking that she wouldn't need it during this period of time, so she didn't take it and went out with a smile.
After leaving the tavern and before walking out of the alley, Xiaoyu saw a few beggars in the corner surrounding the wooden barrels where water was placed in the tavern.
At this time, many leftovers from the guests had been poured into the buckets stacked at the entrance of the tavern, enough for a few beggars to eat.
Xiao Yu's brows relaxed slightly. Fortunately, the owner of this tavern was quite generous and did not drive these poor children away.
They were all slovenly, with disheveled hair, and their clothes had not been changed for who knows how long. They were shiny black and had many holes.
Xiaoyu took a look and saw that there were five beggar children in total.
The elder one is a short and skinny girl, with a hemp rope tied randomly on her head. She is lying on the edge of the largest Gushui, grabbing the chicken drumsticks that others have eaten and pouring them into the bucket.
There was no meat on the chicken legs, and they were mostly skinned tendons. For ordinary people, they were discarded garbage, but to her, they were extremely delicious. There were all kinds of dirty things in the bucket, but she He also used the tasteless chicken leg bones to dip a lot of oil and water on the noodles, and took a few more sips. It seemed to be extremely delicious.
Of course, the biggest bucket with the most oil and water belongs to this black girl, because she seems to be the oldest and the most bad-tempered among the beggars. She is like the eldest sister among them.
Several other little beggars seemed not qualified to compete with her for the 'best' bucket.
The other four little beggars, one girl and three boys, are only about five or six years old. Only the black girl who occupies the largest bucket looks the oldest, about ten years old.
The black girl didn't seem to care much about the life and death of the other four little beggars. She only cared about eating comfortably. The other little beggars could only guard the small bucket in front of her and dig out some leftovers to eat. One or two of them were young. The beggar looked at the black girl sipping her bones with a somewhat envious expression.
It's just that the black girl's eyes were not kind, and she didn't have any humility and kindness. She ate as a matter of course and glared at the two little beggars, as if she was the one who deserved to eat the biggest bucket of water.
Xiaoyu looked at their actions, especially the black girl's every move, which was all for self-interest and dominance. Xiaoyu had an inexplicable feeling of disgust towards the black girl. Although they were pitiful, they really couldn't care less about the black girl. Have some compassion.
Xiaoyu carried the brocade bag that passed from the waist of the overbearing female senior brother just now. He just wanted to keep some money to buy clothes, and planned to give the rest to them. Just when Xiaoyu was about to touch the money bag, the proprietress of the store came out holding a broom.
The landlady is a middle-aged woman with broad shoulders and a round waist. Her whole body is as round as a big upright dumpling. She has a phoenix hairpin on her head, a wide apron around her waist, a long floral gown, and a three-foot thin bamboo broom in her hand.
"A few damn straight thieves have killed their parents and kid! They are stealing food here again! Get out! Get out! Choose the farthest place for me!" The proprietress scolded her as she turned over the broom and hit him with the broomstick. A few beggar children.
Xiaoyu frowned and glanced at the plump proprietress. It turned out that it wasn't the owner of the tavern who was generous. It was just that the shop was too busy and no one had time to deal with the beggar who was eating the leftovers.
This world is still like this. In the end, there are more unselfish and unkind people than kind people.
Several little beggars were driven away from the alley by the proprietress. Before leaving, the black girl endured a few sap and grabbed two handfuls of leftovers before dodging and leaving.
Before Xiao Yu could take out the money from his arms, the group of little beggars were driven away. The proprietress recognized Xiao Yu as a customer in the store, smiled and apologized jokingly: "These little bastards are so dirty that they are in the way." The guest officer is offended! I’m so sorry!”
Xiao Yu waved her hand, she couldn't teach the landlady a lesson, after all, it was not her fault, so she could only smile in acquiescence, nodded, and turned around to leave the alley.
Not far away was the silk and satin shop. Xiao Yu walked slowly in and bought a few clothes, including those from Uncle Liu and Brother Yu. The boss said that there were not so many ready-made clothes and that they would be moved from other shops later. Come here and ask Xiaoyu to come and get it later.
Xiaoyu gave the money and told the boss that he lived in a tavern on the side of the alley, and told the boss to bring it over later and put it on the tavern counter.
After the boss agreed, he gave Xiaoyu a note for depositing money, and Xiaoyu took the note and walked out.
Following the alley and out of the corner, I saw those beggar children. They were hiding in the corner of a house, huddled up, and threw a few broken bowls on the ground to beg for food.
Xiao Yu took the brocade bag and money bag from her arms, walked slowly to them, and gave them the remaining ten taels of silver one by one.
Several little beggars rushed up to grab the silver that Xiaoyu threw in their bowls. Xiaoyu weighed the money bag in his hand. There was not much left, so he just left a few taels for the hotel rent.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, the tall black girl rushed towards him. Xiaoyu was caught off guard, and moved away with his chess spirit step. The child was bound to fall and get hurt, so Xiaoyu didn't avoid it. The black girl bumped into Xiaoyu's arms, grabbed the money bag in Xiaoyu's hand, and ran away. After a few turns, she ran away from the alley and disappeared.
