The little beggar devours food faster than that
"Three mouths and one pig" wasn't bad either. After finishing a few dishes of side dishes, Song Che asked the stall owner to cut half a pound of beef. Then the steaming noodles were served, and he continued to devour them.
Before Song Che and Lin Yue had even had a few bites, he blew out the noodles in the bowl.
"If you don't mind, I'll give you mine too." Lin Yue pushed his noodles to the little beggar.
"If you can eat it, I'll give you mine too." Song Che also pushed the noodle bowl over. The little beggar raised his head and looked back and forth between Lin Yue and Song Che. For a moment, he sniffed and cried, "Thank you, brother and sister!" Then he took the noodle bowl and started to eat it.
Song Che had no choice but to order two more bowls of noodles. Lin Yue sighed: "I really can't tell that such a small body has such a big appetite..." Song Che said: "You have been hungry for a long time, but you can still be so big." After finishing three bowls of noodles and a pound of beef, he also returned After filling a bowl of soup, the little beggar patted his belly with satisfaction, which was almost swollen into a ball.
"Little brother, tell us why we ended up here?" Song Che asked. The little beggar lowered his head and said nothing.
Song Che was a little confused. Lin Yue gently patted the little beggar on the shoulder and said softly:
"Little brother, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. If you have any difficulties, feel free to speak out and we will support you." The little beggar was silent for a while and murmured: "I am a girl..."
"Uh." Her unkempt appearance made it difficult for people to distinguish between male and female. Lin Yue helped the little beggar hold her head up and smoothed her messy hair. Long-term malnutrition had made her look sallow and thin, but judging from her delicate facial features, she was indeed a delicate girl.
"Let me tell you, only girls can have such beautiful eyes." The girl added a little shyly.
Lin Yue took off her hat, pulled off the hairpin and flicked it, her black hair fell down her shoulders, and smiled: "Don't be shy, I am not a brother, but a sister." She tied the girl's hair with the hairpin She put her hair into a bun and simply combed two little braids before she said with satisfaction: "Well...it looks much prettier this way." The girl stared at Lin Yue the whole time, and in the end she blushed a little, and whispered: "Sister , you are so beautiful." Lin Yue's eyes were full of sympathy. Maybe she had suffered too much when she was young, so she cared so much about a strange girl.
"My parents died of illness, so I lived on the streets..." the girl lowered her head and told. Lin Yue sighed softly: "80% of the poor people in the world are girls." She looked at Song Che: "Anyway, Hongxing Society also sent people, and being able to save this girl tonight is considered a kind of fate. Why don't you accept her as your wife?" Are you guys?" Song Che sipped his tea cup and said slowly: "If she doesn't tell the truth, how dare I want her?" The girl lowered her head.
"This..." Lin Yue didn't know whether to be confused or not. Song Che said: "From the first word she uttered, I could tell it was a Fujian accent. Fujian is more than three thousand miles away from Xijing, but don't tell me that a girl with no power to tie a chicken, I can walk around on two poles." Among the refugees outside Suzhou, not only those from Huainan, but also many from Fujian, their accents were unmistakable to Song Che.
Luoyang is no different from other cities. If you want to enter the city, you will be treated as a refugee unless you have a written ultimatum. This girl is not from a wealthy family, so she will never be able to reach Luoyang alone.
Unless she was kidnapped. When the Feiyun Gang was eradicated earlier, Xu Xiao said that there were many young girls in the village, as well as the Hong brothers, who were also engaged in the business of selling women.
Most of the women who are trafficked are deceived from refugees, and most of the refugees come from the coast, coastal areas, Fujian, Huainan...
"Sister, just tell the truth. He is very smart and you can't hide it from him." Lin Yue advised. The girl sobbed softly, and after a long time she choked up and said, "I was... kidnapped to Luoyang."
"Where did you kidnap you? Who sponsored you? Why did you kidnap you? Where did you kidnap you?" Song Che asked four times in succession.
But the girl just cried, getting louder and louder, and getting more and more sad. Lin Yue had no choice but to protect her in his arms and gave Song Che a scolding look: "We're not interrogating prisoners, so why do you keep asking Yu Lian?" She gently comforted the girl: "It's okay, please speak slowly, we will stand up for you. The girl wiped her tears and hummed before saying slowly: "My name is He Ling'er. My family lives in Quanzhou. Later, there was trouble with Japanese pirates. My mother took my brother and I to flee to the northeast. When we arrived in Jiangning, we carried All the money and food were used up, my younger brother was hungry, my mother became sick from overwork, and many people died along the way... Suddenly one day, a high-ranking official came outside the city and said that a wealthy family in the city wanted to recruit a maid. I was offered two hundred coins, so I followed without thinking. But before I even entered the city, I was beaten unconscious with a stick. When I woke up, I was locked in a boat. Later, the boat sailed and was bumpy. After an unknown number of days, we finally arrived in Luoyang; they locked us in a dungeon and gave us only one meal a day. We could only go out once every ten days, and we had to be tied up with ropes. I heard from my sister who was also imprisoned, They wanted to sell us to foreign countries. I was afraid that I would never see my mother and brother again, so I punched myself twice in the stomach. It hurt so much that my stomach felt like I was going to vomit. When the guard saw that I was in real pain, he punched me in the stomach. They took me out to see the doctor. I took advantage of the guard's lunch break to get drunk, so I ran out of the hospital and hid myself in a garbage basket for three days. Later, I was so hungry that I ran out of the hospital during the night. I came out to look for something to eat, and then came to the noodle stall, and then I met you..."
"Fortunately, sister, you are smart." Lin Yue asked again: "Do you still remember where you are being held? Once I know where you are, I will take you to Luoyang Mansion to report to the official." He Ling'er shook her head,
"I don't remember. It was very dark there. When I was taken out to see a doctor, I was blindfolded and locked in a carriage."
"How long did it take from the time you boarded the carriage to the hospital? How long did it take from the time you escaped from the hospital to get here?" Song Che asked.
He Linger thought for a while,
"It took about a quarter of an hour to get to the hospital. After escaping from the hospital, I ran three streets in one breath. I hid because I had no strength." At the speed of the carriage in the city, it took only a quarter of an hour to travel three or four miles, and the distance of three streets was It can be ignored, so the dungeon where she is imprisoned should be in the east of Luoyang City.
It's hard not to have something to do with the Jia family.
"Little sister, let me ask you again, did they conduct a physical examination on you after they captured you?" Song Che asked.
He Ling'er bit her lip and nodded in shame. That's 80% correct. It's the same as Qin Ruo's original experience. If she is found to be a virgin, she will be sold to a foreign country. If she is not a perfect body, she may be sold to a brothel.
If Song Che hadn't rescued Qin Ruo at the pier, maybe she and the girl in front of her could still have a relationship.
"Inmate".
"Alas...it's hard to figure out this matter. You should come home with us first." Lin Yue pulled the girl up and planned to get up.
Song Che suddenly said: "She can't go back with us yet."
