Chapter 11
The caravan traveled quickly. Shi Hua and Xie Ling were placed on the last bullock cart. The two leaned together and talked quietly. It was early in the morning, the golden sunshine fell on the earth, and there were flowers growing on both sides of the road. The yellow weeds and dew on the grass blades refract the sunlight like shining jewels.
The owner's surname was Liu, a merchant of spices and medicinal materials. He often traveled between the north and the south, transporting goods. Shi Hua and Xie Ling were lucky enough to die. This kind of caravan usually followed the official route, that is, If you get lost, you won't turn to such a small side road, but there is a severe drought in the central region this year, and there are refugees fleeing everywhere, especially on the official road.
When there were more refugees, they were afraid of trouble. If hungry and impatient people came to rob in groups, they were afraid that something would happen. So the owner made a quick decision and changed the path. Without thinking, he chose the path of Shi Hua and Xie Ling. Little life.
Shi Hua was also filled with fear. When she took Xie Ling on her way, she deliberately followed a small path. Without him, the two of them were small and weak. If they had encountered those unreasonable refugees, they would have been beaten to death long ago. Yes, when a person is extremely hungry, he will lose his mind and become no different from a wild beast. Even such things as cannibalism are possible.
It now seems that Shi Hua¡¯s original decision was correct. Although they suffered a lot of hardships and pains, fortunately, they have now been rescued.
The caravan's horse hooves just clattered forward, carrying Shi Hua and Xie Ling, and they arrived at Suyang City in less than half a month.
Due to time constraints, the caravan did not intend to enter the city, so they dropped Shi Hua and the others outside the city gate. Liu Dong's family came over to say a few words to them, handed them a small cloth bag, and said kindly: "I It¡¯s really not easy for you two little kids. Keep these things away, Mo Lucai will have someone steal them, and once you get married, your life will be better.¡±
Shi Hua refused to accept it and just said: "We, the two siblings, have been harassing the boss all the way. We are eating and drinking for free. Where can I get your things? Now that Suyang City is in front of us, we appreciate the kindness of the boss." .¡±
When the Liu Dong family saw that she refused to accept it, they handed it to Xie Ling instead. After collecting the cloth bag, he asked someone to fetch some steamed buns and pastries, wrap them in paper, and said a few words: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to Shengyang Trading Company in Nanzhou to find me."
As the motorcade drove away, Shi Hua and the two stood on the roadside until they watched the group of people disappear behind the mountains in the distance, then they took Xie Ling and walked into Suyang City.
As they walked along the way, they were originally dressed in rags, like beggars. Fortunately, they met the caravan. When they passed by the town, they bought them two pairs of clothes and packed them up. They looked like ordinary people's clothes. He is a child now, but he is still very thin. Standing on the road, it seems as if a gust of wind will blow him away. Their arms are as thin as two hemp poles, and they will break if they are gently broken.
Shi Hua asked Xie Ling, "Do you still remember the name of your uncle?"
Xie Ling replied: "I remember, my surname is Su, and she lives in Alley 2, South Street."
He said, and then added: "My father also gave me a token, saying that the uncle would know it was me when he saw it."
Shi Hua asked curiously: "What token?"
Xie Ling looked around cautiously, pulled her into a nearby alley, then pulled out a piece of jade from her neck, and said proudly: "This is it."
Shi Hua looked down and saw that the jade was tied with a red rope. It must have been worn for a long time. The red rope had been worn very old and the edges were white. The jade was actually a good piece of jade, carved into a The fish looks very delicate, the water head is excellent, green and beautiful.
Shi Hua asked him to put the jade away and warned: "Unless you see that uncle, don't let anyone see it."
Xie Ling put the jade fish into his clothes, and all the heat he had just lost was gone. The cold jade made him tremble, and he replied: "I know."
Shi Hua led him out again. Suyang City was very lively, and the golden autumn sunshine was not dazzling. It was warm on people's bodies. There were many pedestrians on the road and it was noisy. They followed the people and asked questions, and it went smoothly. Finally found the residence of Su Shibo.
Xie Ling opened her eyes, looked at the house in front of her, and exclaimed: "What a tall house."
Shi Hua nodded. Although she had seen more luxurious houses in her previous life, it was obvious that Su Shibo was indeed a wealthy man. Such a high-end mansion was one of the best in Suyang City.
The two large stone lions at the door are very majestic and arousingXie Ling turned around to take a look from time to time, as if he wanted to touch it, but he held back and did not move rashly. He just followed Shi Hua obediently.
Shi Hua walked forward and knocked on the closed door. After a long time, the door was opened a crack, and a droopy face poked out from behind the door. He lowered his head and looked at them, and said in an unkind tone: "what for?"
Shi Hua said: "Brother, we are from Qiu County. Our father asked us to visit Uncle Su. Please let me know."
The concierge said impatiently: "Our master has no relatives in Qiu County. You are looking for the wrong one."
After he finished speaking, the door closed with a bang. Shi Hua couldn't help but feel angry, but there were so many people like this. If she cared about them one by one, wouldn't she be angry to death early on?
The hem of his clothes was tugged, and Xie Ling whispered: "Ajiu, does that Uncle Su refuse to see us?"
Shi Hua could hear the anxiety and uneasiness in his voice, turned around, touched his head, and said, "No, it's just some people looking at people through the cracks in the door."
Xie Ling thought about it and realized that the man had really seen them through the crack in the door. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Shi Hua thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see."
She took Xie Ling and sat down in the corner of the wall. There was a corner door there. It was noon, so the two of them shared a steamed bun and waited for the people in the house to come out.
An hour passed. Xie Ling leaned against Shi Hua and dozed off. Shi Hua turned her head sideways and stared at the front door of the house from time to time. At this moment, she suddenly heard something coming from behind her. There was a slight noise, and before she could react, her back was empty and she fell backwards. She quickly grabbed Xie Ling, but something happened suddenly. Xie Ling was sleeping soundly again and rolled backwards without being grabbed.
There was an ouch from the door, and a girl's voice said in surprise: "Why are there two beggars here?"
Xie Ling woke up after being hit. He happened to hear these words. He stood up while stroking the painful back of his head and said angrily: "We are not beggars."
Shi Hua quickly pulled him out and took a look inside the door. She saw three people standing there, led by a little girl wearing a water-red shirt. She looked only six or seven years old, with a fair and tender face and a chubby face. She was wearing two double buns and a gold chain around her neck. She looked both wealthy and lovable.
Next to them stood a woman and a maid, probably someone who was waiting on them. The little girl glanced at them, curled her lips, and said in a childish but contemptuous voice: "You are dressed so dirty, and you don't say you are not a beggar."
Xie Ling was angry when she heard this, and retorted: "What's the use of wearing nice clothes? Isn't it ugly? You are uglier than a beggar."
After hearing this, the girl blushed immediately and was so angry that she couldn't speak smoothly. She thought that since she was born, she had been frightened by everyone, and her fear melted away. Also, she was good-looking and could only be praised. You're good-looking, but when have you ever had someone point at your nose and say you're ugly?
She was so wronged that she had tears in her eyes. She pointed at Xie Ling and Shi Hua and cursed loudly: "You, get out of here! Not in front of our house."
She scolded and stamped her feet, shouting to the mother-in-law and maid behind her: "Let them go, let them go!"
Seeing that their little ancestor was in trouble, the two people hurriedly came up to chase them away and comforted them. In desperation, Shi Hua had no choice but to move to another place with Xie Ling. Before leaving, Xie Ling even vomited at the girl. Tongue: "Ugly thing, you will definitely not be able to get married in the future, just stay at home and be an old girl."
The girl was so angry that she burst into tears and was coaxed away by the old woman and the maid. Shi Hua was angry and funny at the same time. This was the first time she saw Xie Ling's naughty and unrestrained side, and she couldn't help but say: "She is very young, why do you care about her? Besides"
She said, paused, and then heard Xie Ling mutter: "Why is she so young? I am young too."
When he said this, he sniffed again and said, "I just don't like her. We are just sitting at the door and it doesn't hinder them. Why are you so arrogant?"
The voice gradually became quieter, and he seemed to realize something. After hearing this, Shi Hua felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Maybe this was the thought that a real child would have, not like her. His first reaction was that this girl was dressed in rich clothes. It is inevitable, or rather very likely, that it is Mr. Su's daughter or granddaughter who should not be offended.
Butshe couldn't help but look at Xie Ling. Xie Ling was just a child, raised by his father and mother. When someone pointed his nose at him and called him a beggar, shouldn't he react the way he should?
Although they are poor now, this is by no means a reason for people to humiliate and torture them at will.
Thinking of this, Shi Hua couldn't help but patted Xie Ling's head and said happily: "It's not your fault."
Hearing this, Xie Ling's expression became much more relaxed. The two of them were walking when suddenly a carriage came rattling over from the corner of the street and slowly stopped at the door of the house.
