People who have been caught in the rain are always willing to hold an umbrella for others.
Jiang Sheng knelt down and instead of taking away the two quilts, he tucked the corners of the quilt for them.
She even couldn't help but think that these children would not starve to death if they followed Pang Pangshan.
Zheng Ruqian came over at some point. When he saw several children, his pupils shrank for a moment and said, "Jiang Sheng, you don't want to pick people up and take them home."
If Xu Mo was picked up out of kindness, Fang Heng was picked up out of a hug, and Wen Zhiyun was picked up out of repayment.
Zheng Ruqian was unwilling to accept another one from the bottom of his heart.
The ruined temple cannot accommodate a sixth child.
"I didn't mean that." Jiang Sheng stood up and glanced past several beggars. When she saw the last beggar, she was stunned.
The other beggars were all dark-skinned and disheveled. Only this beggar had fair skin and a beautiful face. Even his eyelashes were half longer than others.
Precisely because of his fair skin, Jiang Sheng could clearly see the flush on his face and his chapped lips.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch Beggar's forehead and gave her a shudder.
This beggar has a fever. If he doesn't get treatment, he may have problems.
Jiang Sheng couldn't sit still and called his fourth brother repeatedly.
Wen Zhiyun thought the little sister was hurt, so she staggered in holding the silver needle.
When he saw the little beggar with a flushed face, he frowned, checked his pulse and said, "High fever, if the fever doesn't go down, I'll be dead overnight."
But they didn't bring a small medicine kit, and there was no medical center in the town.
Jiang Sheng gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart, "Second brother, help me."
She struggled to lift the little beggar.
Although Zheng Ruqian was unwilling, he still stretched out his hands, and the two of them struggled to drag the little beggar onto the donkey cart.
Xu Mo and Fang Heng were both surprised. Didn't they go to pick up the cotton mattress? Why didn't they bring back the cotton mattress? Instead, they brought back a little beggar.
Jiang Sheng didn't have time to explain, so he only raised his voice towards Pang Pangshan, "I'll give you the cotton mattress. This child belongs to me."
Then he asked Fang Heng to take a donkey cart and drive to the ruined temple.
After a bumpy ride, we finally reached the place.
Fang Heng took the beggar back and placed him and Xu Mo side by side on the remaining cotton mattress.
Wen Zhiyun went to prepare the medicine, and Jiang Sheng took a new cotton coat and covered him, keeping him warm while constantly feeding him water.
The little beggar opened his mouth several times, but could not utter a word.
Fortunately, after drinking two bowls of decoction, his body temperature slowly dropped and it was no longer burning.
Night falls.
The brother, who had been tired for a day, slept in his new cotton-padded clothes.
Jiang Sheng also wanted to sleep, but she was solemnly pulled out of the door by Zheng Ruqian.
The brother and sister lowered their voices and whispered, "We can't keep another child. Let's send him away after his fever subsides."
"Where to send it?" Jiang Sheng asked, "Send it to Pangshan Mountain?"
Zheng Ruqian shut his mouth.
Although Pang Pangshan founded the "Beggars Gang", he did not treat his younger brothers well. He only placed himself as the "gang leader".
His position requires that he be provided with food and clothing first.
So much so that when the Beggar Clan was founded four or five years ago, he only had two followers.
If the little beggar is sent back, he may be bullied by Pang Pangshan and run away, or he may be bullied to death.
Like that... nine-year-old boy slowly falling into the snow.
Back at the ruined temple, the new coat was still warm, but Jiang Sheng was still tossing and turning. When she closed her eyes, it was the eyes of her nine-year-old brother before he died, and she could only keep her eyes open, which was the year of the sheep.
When he counted to the two hundredth one, Jiang Sheng finally fell asleep.
Because of this, she didn't see the little beggar suddenly open his eyes, revealing bright black pupils.
the next day.
The little beggar still had his eyes closed. Jiang Sheng put on his cotton clothes and jumped around to cook vegetables.
The brothers were already accustomed to her cooking skills, so they took it expressionlessly and drank it.
There's nothing you can do if you're not used to it. Wen Zhiyun doesn't know how to light a fire. Fang Heng and Zheng Ruqian don't know whether it's raw or cooked, and it's worse than Jiang Sheng's.
Xu Mo had some ideas. He couldn't move, so he could only swallow the food. He joked to Jiang Sheng, "Didn't I say that these cotton-padded clothes are for sale? Why did we put them on ourselves first?"
Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips, "Let's wear them first and sell the rest."
But where to sell it is a question.
Jiang Sheng originally wanted to go to the town to sell, but her brothers were very tired after a long journey yesterday. She thought about it and went to the entrance of the village with two pieces of cotton-padded clothes.
"Selling cotton-padded clothes, selling cotton-padded clothes, they are cheap, twenty cents in town, only fifteen cents here."
The seven-year-old girl shouted at the top of her lungs, which rarely attracted a few aunts and ladies to come over.
"Jiang Sheng, where did you pick up these cotton clothes?" someone deliberately joked.
Jiang Sheng explained anxiously, "Aunt Liu, don't talk nonsense. This is a cotton-padded jacket approved by the county. It's clean and still smells."
New clothes have the unique smell of new clothes, you can’t fake this.
Aunt Liu embarrassedly picked through her clothes, "You really have fifteen cents here? They sell them for twenty cents in the town, why are you five cents cheaper?"
Jiang Sheng is a beggar, and no one can trust the clothes sold by a beggar and dare not buy them.
But she couldn't resist the good price, which was a quarter cheaper, so the aunt went around Jiang Sheng to find faults.
Jiang Sheng's soldiers came to block it, and the water came and the earth covered it. "It's cheap because the boss sold it to me cheaply. We are all neighbors. I bought it for fourteen cents and sold it to you for fifteen cents. Auntie also made a penny for me."
"Oh, the little beggar can do business now."
"It's cheaper. Fourteen cents, I want it."
Jiang Sheng approved a total of 20 cotton-padded clothes from the county, wore five of them, kept one, and sold all 14 of them.
The unit price is twelve cents for buying and the unit price is fourteen cents for selling, making a net profit of two cents per piece.
In the ruined temple, Jiang Sheng squatted on the ground happily, counting the twenty-eight coins in his hand.
Zheng Ruqian had been gambling with her all night, and now he felt shy and wanted to persuade her, "Jiang Sheng, there are so many children without fathers and mothers in the world. You can't save every one of them."
Jiang Sheng understood this truth, but with a living life before her eyes, she could not pretend not to see it.
Just like when I saved Xu Mo.
"Second brother, I promise you, this is the only one, he is the last one, okay." Jiang Sheng tried to be coquettish.
Zheng Ruqian wanted to say something else, but there was a sudden cry from beside him.
The two of them turned their heads together and saw the little beggar opening his eyes. His little face was fair and delicate with a hint of blush. At first glance, he looked so handsome and dazzling.
Jiang Sheng was stunned.
Zheng Ruqian was also stunned.
The words that had been brewing all night disappeared at this moment. Zheng Ruqian opened his mouth and said, "Jiang Sheng, this is really the last one."
It's not that Zheng Ruqian is soft-hearted, but he knows what happens to boys who are too handsome.
Outsiders only know that Yihongyuan is a place where men go to find flowers and beauties, but they don't know that there are also a group of handsome boys and girls in the inner courtyard, specially for those who have money and power to choose from.
Zheng Ruqian was also sent there, but was finally screened out because of his broad face and big mouth. She stomped her feet angrily, "I wish I could have found a more handsome father for you. I have raised him for so many years, but it is of no use."
After that, Zheng Ruqian was kicked out of Yihongyuan.
How can a child who has been abandoned by his mother accept reality so easily?
Zheng Ruqian just knew from the beginning that he was a useless piece of trash.
