When Linghan walked away, Li Fenglan asked everyone worriedly: "Do you think... there is something wrong with Linghan?"
Jade said: "There is indeed something wrong. Although he is still as cheerful as before...but this cheerfulness seems to be mixed with something else."
Amber looked confused: "I think it's nothing."
Compared with Linghan's mental state, Li Fenglan was more concerned about what she just said. What does "throwing the pot on Jade's head" mean? What does it mean?
Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps sounded outside the Tutu Temple, and several figures in tattered clothes appeared at the door of the temple. The leader was Gao Xin, the elder of the Beggar Clan.
Gao Xin saluted and said, "Miss Li, what I promised you has been accomplished. It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Li Fenglan nodded: "Okay, I have already sent a letter to summon him to come to me. Elder Gao, is there a more secret hiding place?"
Gao Xin was a little embarrassed: "Miss Li, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"You want to see your brother, so I have to wait here for him to arrive. Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you? You should understand our current situation, right? I'm not threatening you. I can't stay in this place for a moment. I've thought about it for a long time. gone back."
Gao Xin thought deeply for a while and said, "Okay, everyone, please come with me."
…
Li Fenglan regretted that she should not have left with Gao Xin. Of course, the thing I regret most is Jade.
Several people were wearing tattered clothes and their faces were dirty. If you didn't look carefully, they looked like beggars.
Gao Xin said that the best hiding place is in the dark under the lamp, so he asked them to pretend to be beggars... and then beg for food on the street. There are three intersections next to each other in the small town, and two people can fit into one intersection.
In less than one afternoon, Li Fenglan already had more than a dozen copper coins in his bowl.
Han Lu looked at Feicui and the others in the distance, then turned to look at Li Fenglan beside her, holding back a smile and said, "I've learned a lot since I met you."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes: "What's there to complain about? Weren't you a beggar before?"
Han Lu nodded: "Yes... Thinking about it now, these years have been like a dream. I have even forgotten where I was begging for food before... Feng Lan, do you know? In fact, the Beggar Gang is not a serious organization. They It’s very cruel inside.”
Li Fenglan shook her head: "I don't know too clearly. I only know that they have some strange rules."
As if it brought back memories, Han Lu started talking more: "A beggar woman as beautiful as you probably won't end well."
Li Fenglan asked: "What do you mean?"
"Let me ask you, if a beautiful woman is desperate, what will she do?"
Li Fenglan opened her mouth but did not answer. The answer is obvious, Qin Lou Chu Guan, if you have a good-looking face, you can't go begging for food, right?
Han Lu continued: "You guessed it right, then, what kind of beautiful woman would beg for food?"
Li Fenglan shook his head.
"Idiots, lunatics, in short only those women who are not accepted by brothels will beg for food. These beautiful crazy women will be screened out and sorted according to their grades. Those who are beautiful and crazy can always ask for more money. Moreover, some of them have little money. People always have some personal problems to solve. They can’t afford even the lowest level of ajar doors..."
"Stop talking..." Li Fenglan couldn't bear to hear this, "It's uncomfortable to hear."
Han Lu stretched out her hand to shoo away the flies around her, frowned and said, "I always feel that this Gao Xin did it on purpose. He can't make us beg for food, right?"
Li Fenglan looked at Feicui and the others.
Jade sat cross-legged in the corner, with her back straight, her hands in her sleeves, and her face covered by a broken bamboo hat on her head. Next to her, Bai Shuyu was lying on a pile of hay, holding dogtail grass in his mouth and resting on his arm, looking very relaxed. There was not even half a copper in their bowls.
Amber... acted very hard. When someone passed by, she would say "Well done," and she would cry. Zhu Mingyu covered her face, a little shy to see people. I miss him Zhu Mingyu, the young owner of the Caiyuan Chamber of Commerce, watching the breeze
Cheng Qing's disciple, one of the three outstanding figures among the younger generation, wanted to have a good reputation and a good life experience. Now he has ended up begging for a living, which is sad. Thanks to Amber's superb performance, the two of them had the most coins in their bowls.
Li Fenglan was a little unconvinced and asked, "Is it because Amber looks so cute? Why do so many people give me money?"
Han Lu was helpless: "People are good at soliciting business. You always have a stinky face, but it's already good to beg for a dozen copper coins... I said, when will Chi Junqing arrive? We can't just stay here begging for food, right?"
In the evening, after a busy day of work, the six people left the town and gathered at the ruined temple outside the town. Gao Xin had previously told them to keep a low profile and squat on the outer edge of the beggars during the party. The local elders collected the money from everyone and distributed some according to their merits. Not surprisingly, Feicui and Bai Shuyu had no money, while Amber and Zhu Mingyu earned more than twenty coppers to entertain the little girl.
After the party, Gao Xin walked up to the six of them and said coldly: "You six come in with me."
Li Fenglan and the others followed Gao Xin into the temple. Gao Xin pushed away the statue of the Earth God, pointed at the hole under the statue and said, "Guys, come down with me."
Below is a long tunnel that leads to a certain house in the town.
Coming out of the secret passage, Gao Xin said to them: "You guys will rest here tonight. The necessary things have been prepared for you."
Zhu Mingyu asked: "Can I take a shower?"
"There is a well in the yard where you can take a shower."
After Gao Xin finished speaking, he got back into the secret passage.
After Gao Xin left, Zhu Mingyu tore off the tattered clothes on his body, threw them to the ground, and shouted: "Li Fenglan!"
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes at him: "If you have something to say, what should you shout?"
Zhu Mingyu was a little angry: "It's the third year, and I found that nothing good will happen to me as long as I stay by your side. I will either be chased or get injured. I finally spent a few days in my home comfortably, and I will be happy to see you again." I’ve been reduced to begging for food!”
"You're almost done. If you hadn't met me, would you have married Amber?"
Zhu Mingyu calmed down and walked into the house with Hu Hui's arm. As he walked, he said, "Hu Hui, slow down."
Amber was a little unhappy: "I haven't reached the point where I can't walk yet!"
Li Fenglan said: "Why are you going?"
Zhu Mingyu replied angrily: "After being outside in the sun all day, of course I should go back inside to rest."
"There are only two rooms in total. You two sleep in one room, and the four of us squeeze into one room?"
After dinner, the girls took a shower, changed into clean clothes and went back to the house to lie down. The bed in the room is quite big, barely enough for three people. Fortunately, the three of them are not fat and can lie down.
Li Fenglan forcefully took Amber's hands and feet away from her body, and said dissatisfiedly: "Amber, is it hot? Can you stop hugging me?" Kanshu La
Jade followed: "And me."
Amber said pitifully: "I miss you, don't you miss me?"
Li Fenglan sighed: "When I think of you following Zhu Mingyu home to live a good life, I don't miss you anymore."
"Tch," Amber pouted, "It's a waste of time that I prepared a birthday present for you."
Li Fenglan cleverly asked, "What day does it fall today?"
Jade replied: "June 20."
Li Fenglan suddenly sat up: "Yes! It's my birthday!"
Jade said: "Your birthday is August 16th..." At this point, Jadeite realized something and said, "Yes...you are now on June 13th."
Li Fenglan stretched out her hands towards the two of them: "Gifts."
Amber smiled and took out a sheathed dagger from under the pillow: "I've prepared it for you. I specially made it for you. You don't know how to use a weapon, and a dagger is easy to defend yourself. I won't be with you in the future. You want to protect yourself."
Li Fenglan took the dagger and looked very happy: "Thank you Amber... hello, how about you?"
Jade closed her eyes and said, "How can I have time to prepare a gift for you?"
"no,
You hurry up. "
Jade thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pinched Li Fenglan's elbow, causing her to whimper in pain.
"This is a gift. Next time you encounter danger, just pinch this place."
Li Fenglan gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you."
At this time, there was the sound of splashing water in the yard, and I guessed who was taking a bath. Li Fenglan looked at Jade and Amber and asked in a low voice: "You guys...who is taking a bath now?"
Jade replied: "How could I know."
Li Fenglan smiled evilly: "How about... take a sneak peek?"
"Stop making trouble and go to sleep."
"Hey, Jade, let me ask you, does Bai Shuyu have that?"
Jade was confused: "What that?"
Li Fenglan reached out and touched Jade's belly: "Is that the one?"
Jade thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't noticed."
Li Fenglan was surprised: "Didn't you pay attention? How could you not pay attention?"
"Not paying attention means not paying attention. What is possible and impossible?"
Amber said furtively, "Mingyu has some, and they look very good."
"That's it!" Li Fenglan was very excited, "Let's take a sneak peek, just one look!"
Jade was a little speechless: "Why don't you look at Mu Yun when no one is around?"
Li Fenglan had already gotten out of bed and secretly ran to the window, followed by Amber. The two of them poked two holes in the window paper and looked outside quietly. After a while, Jade poked the third hole.
There was... no one in the yard.
Li Fenglan was a little disappointed: "Jade is all your fault. I can't see anything from your ink marks, right?"
…
In the next room, Han Lu put three chairs together and spread them with quilts. Bai Shuyu has already laid the floor. Zhu Mingyu was lying on the bed dying.
"You two have to be a little aggrieved," Zhu Mingyu said, "Hu Bo and I have been traveling for several days and haven't had a good rest."
Bai Shuyu was helpless: "I'm still injured."
Han Lu sat on the chair and said, "Okay, you two, go to bed quickly. We have to beg for food tomorrow."
