The brother and sister spent the night dealing with each other casually in the beggar's den. Early the next morning, all the beggars who were able to move went out to beg for food. Even if they saw the Ao Shichu brother and sister and a half-dead man suddenly appearing in the beggar's den, The injured did not react at all. After all, they had tried their best to survive and had no extra thoughts to wonder about other people's affairs.
Ao Shiyan went out to buy some steamed buns and came back. He shared them with the remaining beggars and left two meat buns with his sister. Ao Shichu was not polite to him.
Qi Liangjun woke up in Mohuhudi and smelled a fragrant smell. When he opened his eyes, he saw the thin-skinned and tender boy who treated his wounds last night, eating a piece of meat with relish. Steamed buns, that aroma comes from the meat buns.
Ao Shichu noticed his gaze and thought he also wanted to eat meat buns, so he said: "You can't eat this now. You have to eat something nutritious that is easy to digest. By the way, do you have any money? Our brothers yesterday I have already spent a lot of money to buy medicine for you to treat your injuries, and there is no extra money. Moreover, we have to rent a house today, otherwise we will live on the streets."
Qi Liangjun opened his mouth, but no sound came out at all, because his throat was so dry. When Ao Shiyan saw this, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to bring him some rice porridge. I'll buy him some porridge now." After that, he went out again.
Ao Shichu said to Qi Liangjun: "Look, we saved you. Not only do we have to pay for the medicine, but we also have to pay for your food. Alas, now we have even less money."
Qi Liangjun's dark eyes blinked slowly, and finally he made a little voice with difficulty: "I... will pay back the money..."
"That's good." Ao Shichu could treat this person with good intentions, but he couldn't let her back him.
Ao Shiyan bought rice porridge and fed it to Qi Liangjun. Qi Liangjun became more energetic and spoke more fluently. Ao Shiyan asked about his origin, and he only said that his name was Qi Liangjun and he was a scholar. After provoking a big shot in the capital, he was hunted down and almost died.
As for why he offended the big shot, he didn't say much, and Ao Shiyan and his sister didn't ask too much. After all, sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it is. It's better to know nothing.
"Don't worry, two little brothers. When they killed me yesterday, I held my breath and pretended to be killed by them, so they wouldn't know that I was still alive." Qi Liangjun said this to reassure the brothers and sisters.
"That's good, otherwise if those people know that you are still alive, we won't know where to hide you." Ao Shiyan said with a sigh of relief.
"Brother, we also made an appointment with someone to look for a house today." Ao Shichu reminded Ao Shiyan.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about it." Ao Shiyan said angrily, and then he looked at Qi Liangjun, who was still unable to move, feeling a little embarrassed.
Qi Liangjun was very considerate and said: "I am very grateful to the two little brothers for saving my life yesterday. How can I delay you two because of my own affairs? Just go and do your own affairs."
"But you are so seriously injured, how can you do it without anyone to take care of you?" Ao Shiyan was a soft-hearted person. Seeing Qi Liangjun being so considerate and talkative, he felt guilty first.
"The Evil God"
Ao Shichu pointed to the pair of beggars, an old man and a young man, and said, "Brother, just let the two of them help take care of him. When he gets better, I will give him something in return. They should be very happy."
"Okay." Ao Shiyan said, and went to ask the two beggars. Qi Liangjun had no objection, and soon the three of them discussed it. Qi Liangjun temporarily let these two people take care of them, while Ao Shichu and his brother and sister continued Went to see a house with the middle-aged man.
The house viewing went very smoothly on this day. The brother and sister Ao Shichu quickly fell in love with a small house with two rooms. The house had not been inhabited for a long time and the roof was leaking, but as long as they bought some tiles and repaired it, it would be fine. , and some of the walls have collapsed, but they can all be repaired.
The most important thing is that although this small house is dilapidated, there is a well in the yard, so there is no need to go outside to fetch water. Moreover, the house is in a good location. People living around it are either small businessmen or ordinary people. There were no ruffians or gangsters among the people, and there were very few thefts. Ao Shiyan was very satisfied and quickly rented this small house.
With the small house in hand, the brother and sister settled the bill with the inn, moved their luggage into the new home, and then worked together to tidy up and buy some furniture. This was their place to stay in the capital. .
"Sister! This is our home in the capital!" Ao Shiyan was a little excited. Before he arrived in the capital, he only thought about going to live with his cousin and get the protection of his relatives. He was already prepared to live under someone else's roof. ; But he didn’t expect that when he really arrived in the capital, he found that the relatives he took refuge with were not reliable at all, and might even implicate him, so he had to give up. Then he began to worry about whether he could take his sister to settle in the capital. He was worried that he would be useless. , will live on the street with his sister.
But now, everything is starting to get better. Even though this house is only rented, they finally have a place to stay and don't have to worry about sleeping on the street. And even though they can only rent a house now, he believes that after some time, they will work hard. When they make money, they can always buy a house that truly belongs to the brother and sister. At that time, they will truly establish a foothold in the capital.
"Brother, you are too excited. We will have a better home in the future." Ao Shichu said with a smile.
"You're right." Ao Shiyan was excited now. He felt that everything in the future was full of expectations. He would work hard to make money, study hard, and provide a better life for his sister.
"Stop being silly, let's buy some tiles to repair the roof first. It will be bad if it rains and leaks." Ao Shichu reminded him.
"Yes, not only the roof must be repaired, but the walls must also be repaired, otherwise it will be bad if a thief breaks in." Ao Shiyan said quickly.
So the brother and sister went to buy tiles and mud bricks and moved them back to repair the house.
The brother and sister were not pampered people to begin with. They had done a lot of work in Mobei before, so they did not find it difficult to repair the roof and walls, especially Ao Shichu. Ao Shiyan saw her moving around the roof lightly, flexibly and Agile, he was quick and precise when inspecting the tiles. He suddenly felt that he was as clumsy as a duck and was not as good as his sister at work, so he was very ashamed.
"Sister, as the eldest brother, I feel that I am really useless. In the end, you are the most reliable person to repair the roof." Ao Shiyan was completely reduced to a tool delivering tiles to his sister in the end.
"Brother, your specialty is not in work, but in studying. I also hope that you will pass the Jinshi examination and honor your ancestors." Ao Shichu comforted him.
