Chapter 103
The little beggar sniffed, and continued: "Later, I heard from my neighbors that I was bought. Just a month after I was bought back, my adoptive mother died, and my adoptive father's temperament changed drastically. He blamed all the faults on me. Take it out on me!
There are always old wounds unhealed on the body, and new wounds appear again...

I endured like this for several years, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I simply escaped while he was drunk, and it has been to this day. "

This passage made Li Siqi both happy and distressed.

Happily, this child is very likely to be the grandson lost by the grandfather at the previous tea stall. Sadly, such a young child has suffered so much unimaginable suffering.

She only felt that her eyes and nose were sore, and she was in a panic.

After calming down, Li Siqi led the question and asked, "Do you have memories of things when you were very young? For example, a small fragment? A person? Or a small object?"

The little beggar pondered for a while, then suddenly nodded, "Well, you mentioned it like that, it really does exist. There is a vague lantern in the back of my memory, um~ it looks like a rabbit."

Lantern?That's right, that child was lost during the Lantern Festival.

Li Siqi was so excited that she choked up and couldn't speak, with tears in her eyes, she grabbed his hand, "It turned out to be you!"

The little beggar was frightened by her reaction, he shrank his hand and tried to withdraw it but failed, "You...what's wrong with you?"

"I know your family, I can take you home!" Li Siqi excitedly said.

"Go home?" The little beggar murmured and repeated, as if he was very unfamiliar with this word, his eyes were full of bewilderment and longing.

"That's right, your family is in the capital city. Ever since you couldn't find you, your grandfather has been looking for you at the place where you were lost. He said that you lost it when you were looking at lanterns when you were three years old!" Li Siqi said unhurriedly. explain.

The little beggar seemed to be touched, and there was a sparkle in his eyes, "I have a family? I also have a family!"

Li Siqi was also quite moved, luck and misfortune depended on each other, it was true, everyone said it was a blessing in disguise, how could one know good fortune and misfortune, she was able to help the tea stall old man find his grandson in this catastrophe, it was a blessing among misfortunes.

She nodded and echoed: "Yes, you have a family!"

The little beggar held back tears and excitedly shook her hand, "Sister, when can I go home?"

Li Siqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If you're so impatient, you're not afraid that I'm a pedophile? Did you abduct and sell you?"

After the words fell, the other party looked her up and down suspiciously, pursed his lips, hesitated to speak, and his eyes seemed to say, "Just you? Kidnapping me? It's almost the same if I kidnapped you?"

Li Siqi saw the meaning he didn't say, and said unconvinced: "What? I don't look like it?"

The little beggar laughed a few times, "It's really not like that, you see, I stole your money, and instead of punishing me, you gave me medical treatment. No matter how you say it, you won't be a bad person."

Li Siqi: ...

Well, you're lucky, if you didn't faint at this juncture, let's see if I will spare you!
Thinking this way in my heart, I said on my mouth: "You have sharp eyes and know people. If that's the case, you can follow me to buy some clothes. Let's live in the inn and wait for me to finish my work." , I will take you back to the capital, how about that?"

How can the little guy say that it is not good, suddenly from a beggar to a lost child in the capital, this feeling is much greater than the joy of accidentally asking for a few more silver coins, that is nodding repeatedly, agreeing, and recommending himself Take the initiative to lead the way.

Li Siqi naturally agreed, and the two chatted while walking.

After walking two steps, passing a stall selling beggar chickens, the little beggar could no longer move his feet, swallowed his saliva, his eyes seemed to grow on the freshly cooked chicken.

Li Siqi shook her head amusedly, after all, she was still a child, her foodie nature was exposed by accident.

He went up to buy one, handed it to the little beggar, and said with a smile: "Eat it, put on the mat first, and I will take you to a decent restaurant to have a big meal later."

The little beggar took it, looked at the beggar chicken, swallowed again, but refused to eat it. He wrapped the lotus leaf tightly in his arms, "Let's buy clothes first, and eat after changing clothes."

Li Siqi looked at him seriously, and said jokingly, "He's not big, but he has a sense of ceremony."

The little beggar didn't ask what a sense of ritual was, and changed the subject.

The two continued to walk and chat.

Li Siqi looked at him with relief, as if her own child had been found again, and kindly told him: "For the sake of convenience on the road, we will be called siblings from now on. You can call me Sister Siqi, or you can call me sister directly, whatever you want, yes I'm so busy chatting, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

The little beggar tore at the patch after patch, and was a little shy about the clothes that were half too small and barely covered his clothes. Tie Dan, after I escaped, I changed my name to Qiang Zi, and usually no one calls me, it’s just my little beggars shouting!"

The words sounded sad, but there was no trace of resentment on his face, but an indifferent indifference.

Li Siqi patted him on the shoulder, and praised sincerely: "Qiangzi is Xiaoqiang who can't be defeated!" Then, taking advantage of the situation, she said, "I know your life is not easy, and it's best to be self-reliant, but it's the one who steals people's money and steals chickens and dogs." Nothing can be done!"

Qiangzi nodded sharply, "Well, I've never stolen before, and some of my partners will gang up to steal money and things, and I will stop them, but sometimes everyone is so hungry that there is nothing they can do.

Today I stole your purse because my good friend Hu Zi was hit by a carriage while begging, and he was seriously injured. Take a bite before you die..." At this point, Qiangzi bowed his head sadly, unable to speak any more.

Wiping away his tears, he apologized and said, "Sister Siqi, I'm sorry, the route I led you to was not to a clothing store. I wanted you to help me look at Hu Zi, but I was afraid that you would not agree, so I made my own proposal and directly brought you here."

Unknowingly, he came to an arch bridge while speaking.

I didn't expect such a story to exist!
Li Siqi is an emotional person, and she hates hearing such things the most. She already had tears in her eyes, and sighed, "Silly boy, you don't understand me, so how could I not agree to you?"

Qiangzi nodded with tears in his eyes, and led Li Siqi down the bridge hole.

The river was dry here, and a seven or eight-year-old child was lying under the bridge hole, with a tattered mat under his body.

When she saw the child's face clearly, Li Siqi was startled, not because of his appearance, but because of his dark complexion, as if dead.

Qiangzi took two steps in three steps, leaned in front of him, held back his tears and said softly: "Huzi, don't sleep, look what delicious food I brought!" He opened the lotus leaf while talking.

Huzi originally had his eyes closed, but when he heard his words, his eyelids moved, he opened them with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Brother Qiangzi, you are really capable, you really brought it back!"

Qiangzi raised his head, avoiding tears from falling, as if he was a big brother, "That is, who am I, I must do what I say!"

After finishing speaking, he tore off a piece of chicken and handed it to Huzi's lips, saying in a hoarse voice, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Hu Zi opened his mouth slightly, and it took a lot of effort to eat.

But before he swallowed it, he coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.
