In the end, after waiting for three or four hours, the Ao Shiyan brothers and sisters waited until their cousin sent a maid to pick them up. They said they were delayed accidentally due to something, but in fact, Li Xiuer just didn't want to receive relatives who had settled down, and originally wanted to deny them. , drove them away, but in the end it was her nemesis, the Third Madam, who pushed against her and asked her if she looked down on her poor relatives because she was rich, saying that she disliked being poor and loved being rich, which forced her to hold her nose and admit it. Get off this relative.
Li Xiuer reluctantly acknowledged this relative, so naturally she would not be kind to the Ao Shichu brothers and sisters in the future. She only placed them in a small, dilapidated and remote courtyard, and told them not to come out casually, so as not to conflict with the mansion. The other nobles in the house ignored them from then on, and because of this, the servants took advantage of the situation and humiliated their brothers and sisters.
Ao Shichu, who had known the development of the plot in the original world for a long time, of course hoped that Ao Shiyan would figure it out and not defect to Li Xiuer, so when she heard Ao Shiyan's words, she said happily: "Brother, we have decided. Forgot about my cousin and the Marquis of Rongan, we have nothing to do with them, we are just a pair of ordinary brothers and sisters who came to Beijing from Mobei to make a living."
"Okay, brother, I will listen to you." Ao Shiyan said without hesitation.
"Now that we are going to make a living in the capital, we have to make good arrangements for the rest of our lives. First of all, we have to find a house with a cheap rent to rent. After all, we can't live in an inn like this. How long has it been?" Ao Shichu said.
"Then let's go to Yahang and ask where there is a cheap house to rent." Ao Shiyan is also a person with strong mobility.
The brother and sister quickly found a dental shop and asked the broker, who introduced them to several houses that met their requirements.
However, those houses were not close to each other, and the brother and sister spent most of the day only looking at three of them with the stranger, but they didn't take a fancy to them. There were several other houses that they had to look at the next day.
"Two gentlemen, since you are not interested in this house, then I will take you to see other ones tomorrow?" The middle-aged man said to the brother and sister while locking the door of the small house.
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you today." Ao Shiyan said to the middleman politely.
"No trouble, no trouble." The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly. He did not look down on Ao Shichu and the others because they only wanted to rent a cheap small house. He still smiled and had a good attitude.
"It's getting late. Should you two go back to Yaxing with me to see what's going on, or should you go your own way?" the man asked.
"I won't disturb you anymore. We can just walk back slowly by ourselves." Ao Shiyan waved his hand.
"Okay, then we'll meet tomorrow." The middle-aged man said goodbye to the brother and sister.
After the middleman left, Ao Shiyan asked Ao Shichu: "Sister, what kind of house do you want to live in? The three houses I looked at today were not very good. They were either too shabby or too remote. It is difficult to find a good house. too difficult."
Ao Shichu said funnyly: "Brother, we have only looked at three houses, do you find it difficult? We have no money now, so the houses are more dilapidated. As long as they don't leak when it rains, it will be fine, but the location must be good. The surrounding environment must be safer, and you cannot find a place where there is a mixture of fish and dragons and too many people, otherwise you will not live in peace.”
Ao Shiyan thought thoughtfully: "Sister, you are more thoughtful. I only remembered that it was cheap and the house was good, but I didn't consider the location and neighborhood environment."
Ao Shichu was about to say something when her ears suddenly moved and she seemed to hear a few faint moans. She paused and turned her head to listen carefully. Sure enough, she heard a few more sounds, and she involuntarily slowed down her steps. sound, walking towards the direction from which the sound came.
Looking at her cautious look, Ao Shiyan couldn't help but become nervous for no reason, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be someone..." Ao Shichu replied in a low voice. At this time, in addition to the sound of human groans, she could also smell the faint smell of blood.
After walking about ten meters away, Ao Shichu and Ao Shiyan came to a remote alley. The alley was narrow and dark, full of garbage, smelly and dirty.
"There's someone there!" Ao Shiyan grabbed Ao Shichu's arm in shock and pointed at a human-shaped "object" not far away and shouted.
"He seems to be injured and bleeding a lot, but he is not dead yet and his feet are still shaking..." Ao Shichu described what he saw to Ao Shiyan.
"Then what should we do? Should we save him? What if he is not a good person?" Ao Shiyan was immediately confused. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "Forget it! Just bet that he is a good person... You can't Seeking death without saving..."
It didn't matter if Ao Shichu didn't save people, but since Ao Shiyan decided to save people, then she should follow suit.
So the brother and sister spent a lot of effort to carefully lift the bloody man out of the alley from the pile of garbage.
This man's head and face were covered in blood. When Ao Shichu and Ao Shiyan carried him, he suddenly opened his dark eyes, and even if he was on the verge of death, he burst out with fierce eyes. Keep an eye on Ao Shiyan and Ao Shichu.
"Don't worry, we are here to rescue you." Ao Shiyan was startled by his eyes and quickly comforted him.
The man didn't know if he believed it or not, so he closed his eyes and let Ao Shichu and his sister carry him out.
"Brother, should we take him to the hospital?" Ao Shichu asked.
"No... I'm not going... to the hospital..." The person who answered Ao Shichu was the seriously injured patient. His voice was hoarse and he struggled to squeeze out these words. His eyes were fixed on Ao Shichu, as if Ao Shichu If he didn't agree to it at first, he wouldn't give up.
"Then don't go." Ao Shiyan knew that this man must have a reason for not going to the hospital. Looking at his bloody appearance, he must be being chased. He was afraid that he would be chased if he showed up at the hospital. If the person who killed him knew it, his life would be at risk.
"Then where should we send him? We are still staying in the inn." Ao Shichu asked Ao Shiyan.
Ao Shiyan was immediately embarrassed. Looking at this bloody gourd-like person, he thought that it would be inappropriate to send him anywhere. Suddenly, he had an idea and said to Ao Shichu in surprise: "Sister, why don't we send him Send it to the old beggar?"
Ao Shichu thought for a while: "It's also a good place." However, she looked at the man who was still staring at her, "We don't have a suitable place to hide you, so we can only send you to the beggar's den. If you agree , we will send you there, if you don’t agree, then we will just keep him here, and you can’t blame us for not saving him.”
Beggar's Nest, at first glance, he knew it was a place where a group of beggars lived, but the man had no objection after hearing it. He probably knew that he had no choice but to go there.
So Ao Shichu and Ao Shiyan managed to avoid people and carried the seriously injured patient to the beggar's den. Fortunately, it was getting late now, everyone had gone home, and there was no one on the road, so they got there smoothly.
