The girl who wears fast

Chapter 1294 The Daughter Abandoned While Escaping (6)

Chang Shichu went to rent a house to use as a warehouse, and asked the grain merchants to transport the grain directly to the house she rented, and then she went to the labor market to ask workers to help transport some of the grain that was used to conceal people's ears back to Qing'an City, and the other Income in your own accompanying space.

After she hired ten carriages and drivers from the labor market, it was agreed that she would come to her rented house the next day to deliver food.

She herself guarded the grain in the house overnight. After all, there was so much grain, and there were quite a few people who saw grain trucks entering here along the way.

She first solved the problem of eating in a restaurant, and only returned to the house in the evening.

Because she was leaving early the next morning, she fell asleep early, but in the middle of the night, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door gently.

She got up from the temporary bed with a bang, and looked at the door coldly, thinking that someone who didn't know what to do was coming to steal food. She had already envisioned several ways to deal with the person in her mind, and she didn't know what it was. Should he beat someone directly, or just stuff the golden bark leaves like he did with the Li brothers?Or just break the leg...

Chang Shichu pursed her lips and went to open the door very angrily, just about to make a move, but what she saw was not someone who was guilty of stealing food, but a... little beggar who was half a head shorter than her now?

"Girl, you...do you still remember me?" The little beggar's clear eyes were startlingly bright in the dim night, "I, I fed your horse a handful of grass, and you gave me Two meat buns! This is the first time I have eaten such delicious buns..."

Chang Shichu was taken aback, and looked at the little beggar carefully, and found that he was the little beggar who gave him two steamed buns on a rare occasion during the day.

"What are you doing looking for me so late? My horse is already full, and the guy in the restaurant has already fed it." Chang Shichu said puzzledly. The reason why she gave him buns during the day was to cut grass and feed him. In addition to the remuneration of my horse, I also appreciate his cleverness and his tenacity to seize every opportunity to improve his life-after all, there are so many little beggars on the street, but he is the only one who mows grass to feed his horse wisely, and then it is a matter of course get paid.

"I, I didn't want to come to feed your horses..." The little beggar was a little nervous, then swept behind him vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I saw you went to the labor market to hire someone to transport food today, but Those people are uneasy and kind! I overheard them. They are discussing that they will knock you out and take away the food after you transport the food out of the city tomorrow! They say you are just a little girl, secretly outside If you kill him, no one will know..."

When Chang Shichu heard his words, his expression turned cold immediately, and he said to the little beggar, "Did you really hear that they were going to steal my food?"

"Really! I really heard it, and I didn't lie to you!" The little beggar nodded his head, with an extremely serious expression, and looked at Chang Shichu helplessly, for fear that Chang Shichu would not believe him, "Those people are very bad , They also said that you are such a young girl who came out to sell food alone, with so much money on your body, and no family around you, and said that you don't know what you are doing, they said it very hard..."

Chang Shichu didn't expect that she still overestimated the moral quality of people in this era. Aren't there many monsters and ghosts in this troubled world?

"Thank you for telling me about this, otherwise I will be in trouble tomorrow." Chang Shichu said to the little beggar sincerely, although these people's wishful thinking is absolutely impossible to succeed, but she also resists.

"Wait." Chang Shichu said, turned back to the house, took out two silver dollars, and handed them to the little beggar, "This is your reward for sending me this news, you can accept it."

"No, sister, I don't need you to repay me." The little beggar blushed and refused, "I, I don't want your money..."

Seeing him like this for the first time, Chang Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked him: "Then what do you want? If I can help, I will help you."

"...I, I...Can you accept my current person? I don't want Yueyin, as long as you can give me something to eat every day and a place for me to sleep! I can do a lot of work and have great strength , I don’t eat much, just a little bit is enough..." The little beggar looked at Chang Shichu anxiously, with anticipation in his apprehension, and longing in his eyes.

Chang Shichu thought about it, and felt that it would be nice to have such a clever little hired worker. After training, she might be her right-hand man in the future, so she didn't refuse, but asked, "Do you still have any family members?"

"No, my parents died a long time ago. My uncle and aunt kicked me out of the house, and I have been wandering on the streets." The little beggar replied with wide-eyed eyes.

"How old are you? What's your name?" Chang Shichu asked again.

"I am 12 years old this year, and my name is Wei Yu'an." The little beggar spoke out about his situation with full expectation.

"Wei Yu'an? You have a good name." Chang Shichu was a little surprised, this name didn't look like the name of a little beggar, even if he had no education, he couldn't think of this name.

When the little beggar heard her words, his expression became depressed, and he said sadly: "This is the name my father gave me. He wanted me to be a learned scholar, but unfortunately I let him down."

Chang Shi first thought that he said that he was kicked out of the house by his uncle and aunt, and suddenly understood that there were some unknown inside stories in his family. Maybe his family background was good when he was a child, but once his parents died, he became a beggar. .

"Then you can follow me from now on. But I am from Qing'an City, and I will live in Qing'an City from now on. Are you willing to leave here?" Chang Shichu asked him.

"Of course I'm willing, I don't have a home, it doesn't matter where I go." Wei Yu'an said very resolutely, showing no nostalgia for Shangzhao City.

Chang Shichu said: "Okay, now I need your help with something. Do you know which coolies have better character? I want to change those hired workers who have evil intentions."

"I know! Old Uncle Wang is a very honest and reliable person. He has to go to the pier every day to work as a coolie to carry bags. He is also very strong. The most important thing is that he will not harm anyone. There are five children in his family. I still know where he lives." Wei Yu'an immediately said energetically, he was not afraid that Chang Shichu would ask him to work, but he was afraid that he would have no work to do.

"Is he alone? That's not enough." Chang Shichu said with some embarrassment, she had a lot of food to transport.

"Old Uncle Wang also has several good friends. They often do work together, and they have a good reputation. It should be enough for Old Wang Uncle to call his coworkers together?" Wei Yu'an added hastily.
