Ruan Yan, who was like a drowned rat, met another drowned rat under the eaves of a shop.
It's just that the drowned rat is squatting in the corner, exuding the aura that no strangers should enter.
It was raining so hard and there were not many customers. The shopkeeper saw two children standing at the door to hide from the rain. One was stupid and the other was huddled there like quail eggs. The shopkeeper raised his eyes and continued to sleep. went.
Ruan Yan glanced at the girl next to him who was about the same age as him. Although the girl was wearing boy's clothes and dressing up like a boy, he could tell at a glance that she was a girl.
"You escaped too?" Ruan Yan squatted next to her and talked to her. When he saw someone running away from home on a rainy day like him, it was inevitable that he would feel sympathy for each other.
But the other party ignored him. The girl didn't even move as if she didn't hear him.
Ruan Yanre didn't get angry even if he got a cold butt on his face. According to his experience, every child with a weird temper had an unhappy childhood, or had a tragic life experience, well, just like him.
Thinking of this, the way he looked at this girl made him feel that they were in the same boat.
It was dinner time when Ruan Yan ran out, and the houses next to him were preparing to cook. He touched his belly and his wallet. He still had a few pennies.
"Boss, do you have any steamed buns to sell?" he asked the shopkeeper a little shyly, grabbing the copper plate.
"Vegetarian salmon, how many do you want?"
Ruan Yan counted the copper coins in his hand. With his palms facing up, he stood on tiptoes and placed the copper coins in front of the boss. He asked tentatively: "I only... can I buy two plain bags?" Really? Or just make a plain bun and a steamed bun."
The shopkeeper looked at him and saw that he didn't look like a beggar in his clothes. He didn't know which kid was running around by himself. Seeing that the kid was pitiful, he took the money and said to the waiter: "Give him two plain bags."
Then he said to Ruan Yan: "I'll give you two plain bags. I won't do it again."
"thank you boss!"
Ruan Yan squatted back to the door with two steaming buns in his hands. The waiter just asked him why he didn't go home?
Ruan Yan said a little lonely: "My sister and I were abducted before, and now my uncle always locks us up and doesn't let me go out... I want to find friends... I have no friends... ....”
The waiter heard that he had been abducted, and even though the child looked like a drowned rat, his features were clear and intelligent. No wonder the family was watching closely.
It's just that such an old child is at the age where he wants to play, so how can he be kept at home all day long? It's a boy, so it's normal for him to run away. Most children of this age can help the family.
That's all, I think it's the children and the elders in the family who are angry. After a while, the parents will come. The waiter told the shopkeeper what he just said. The shopkeeper also shook his head, "You are a child."
However, he asked the waiter to bring him two bowls of hot water, and gave an extra bowl to another drowned rat squatting next to him.
Ruan Yan sat at the door and took a bite of the buns. It was still early spring, and the spring rain was heavy and cold.
He finished the buns in two bites and drank a sip of hot water. Although it was not as delicious as the food at home, the free air was better, and the warmth in his stomach also relieved some of the depression in his heart.
He stared at the rain in a daze, his sister was still at home...
Suddenly he felt an obvious gaze. The girl next to him raised her head. She stared directly at the other bun in his arms.
"Do you want to eat?" Ruan Yan asked. He was embarrassed to say that he originally wanted to give her one, but she was ignoring her, so he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
Ruan Yan handed out the steamed buns wrapped in oil paper and pushed the bowl of water on the floor towards her: "This was given to us by the shopkeeper. _o_m "
The girl looked at him blankly at first, then nodded sharply, snatched the bun away from his hand, and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
She ate hungrily, as if she was starving, and after finishing the meal, she picked up the bowl and drank it.
"Thank you." The girl wiped her mouth with her sleeve, her voice was a little hoarse, and then she spoke her first words to Ruan Yan. After that, she returned to her quail appearance.
"How are you?
it's here? No family? "
"All dead."
"Oh...me too. But I have a sister, what about you?"
The girl looked at him in surprise. Most people would not ask her about her life experience. They would either think she was miserable or pitiful. Very few people could say that I answered the same way.
"just me."
"My name is Ruan Yan, what's your name?"
"Kui Ke."
"That Wei? The sunflower's sunflower?"
"No." The girl wrote her name on the ground with her fingers dipped in rainwater.
"Your handwriting is really good, much better than my sister." Ruan Yan admired sincerely.
"Why are you wearing men's clothing?"
"It's more convenient... you won't get kidnapped." There was a hint of hatred in Wei Ke's tone, but he immediately put it away.
"Ah...I've been kidnapped before." Ruan Yan understood Wei Ke's approach. At this time, girls are easier to sell than boys.
Wei Ke never expected that someone worse off than her would rarely appear next to her. You said his parents were both dead, and he was also abducted. You said he was abducted, and he was also abducted. Then the two started chatting. , although Wei Ke would avoid talking about things at home, but he still told Ruan Yan a lot about other things, and the two of them also got to know each other better.
Wei Ke hasn't chatted with her peers for a long time. Ever since something happened at home, she has either been wandering or wandering. She doesn't dare to speak among the beggars for fear of others finding out that she is a girl. Fortunately, she is good at fighting and can rob. to food so as not to starve to death.
But a few days ago, she was chased by those people. She had no choice but to leave the town where she was staying and fled all the way here. Fortunately, it rained and she swam across a river to wash away her smell before getting rid of those people. .
She hasn't eaten for several days, and this bun is the only food she has eaten in these days.
She and Ruan Yan chatted until her uncle came over. The uncle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ruan Yan looking like a beggar and walked in their direction.
It was time to leave. Wei Ke buried his head in his knees again, without even saying goodbye.
Ruan Yan had had enough fun this time. Seeing his uncle coming, he stood up calmly, patted his clothes, then stretched out his hand to Wei Ke and said, "I have no friends. I am here to find friends. Are you willing to be my friend?" Will you go back with me?"
Wei Ke thought she heard wrongly and looked blankly at the hand he extended in the air. Ruan Yan asked her again, adding a sentence this time.
He said: "My sister is really cute!"
Wei Ke couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it. It felt good to have friends. @
My uncle had no objection to Ruan Yan bringing back another child. If he could stop running around, it would just be a matter of having more food. The most important thing now was to quickly find a suitable place to stay.
Later, they found a place to live in the mountains and established a sect. In the following time, Ruan Yan and Wei Ke practiced martial arts together and studied together. Wei Ke continued to show off in men's clothing until the tenth capital. The two have always treated each other as brothers. Even Ruan Yan's sister always calls her second brother and second brother.
Wei Ke thinks that although Ruan Yan's sister is cute, she is really stupid.
It was also when they were teenagers that they ran out secretly again and met Jin Lingling, which started the long story that Ruan Yan and Jin Lingling had to tell.
...
Ruan Yan came out of his memories and rubbed his brow: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
Wei Ke looked in a good mood and laughed: "If you don't want to say it, I won't say it. We will see you sooner or later."
Ruan Yan turned the topic to business: "Are you sure you can contain Xu Pei?"
"Ruan Ruan drugged him."
"What medicine?"
Wei Ke recalled it for a moment and said, "The Belly Tightening Curse?"
Ruan Yan understood: "The little Gu insect can only live for a few months. Even if there is no antidote, it will die in a few months. Elder Jin got some gadgets for her."
No one can easily describe Gu insects as gadgets.
"It doesn't matter, it should be enough." Wei Ke calculated the time and found that there were still about twenty days until Mu Huaxiao's birthday banquet.
, if they don't stop at Lingxiao Villa, it will only be seven or eight days at most. Then she asked: "Is it almost Ruan Ruan's birthday?"
"Well, there are still more than ten days left. This birthday gift can only be given to her later." Ruan Yan said. Ruan Xianbei's birthday is in June. I think she will already be in Lingxiao Villa by that time.
"Haha, if she wakes up, I will cook her a bowl of noodles." Wei Ke said easily, no one knew what kind of situation they would face.
"Thank you for your hard work. It really doesn't work. After all, the living people are more important..." Ruan Yan said lightly.
Wei Ke also put away his joking expression and nodded. No one wants to die. Everyone wants to live longer. Only by living can we see all the prosperity of the world.
"The skills passed down by my mother will not cause much harm to her. I am relieved to see that she is fine. When the time comes, someone will come to you when you enter Lingxiao Villa."
"Going to see Jin Lingling?" Wei Ke joked.
Ruan Yan glanced at her and did not deny it: "The most important thing in doing business is integrity. I also need to confirm the personnel deployment. We don't have many people, so we need to see how to arrange it."
"I've also heard about those things. I guess it's not easy for outsiders to live in peace, but you have to be more careful about your wife's actions. There are many people who fish in troubled waters." Wei Ke was referring to the things that he had already started fighting with the righteous disciples. Ruan Yan hasn't mentioned a word now, but it shouldn't be easy.
"I always feel a little strange, as if there is a force that does not belong to the two parties mixing together."
"So be careful."
"Well, it's all the same. Since he has arranged a birthday banquet, we must be there." Ruan Yan touched Ruan Xianbei's head, stood up and left. .
