The daughter is so cute

Chapter 649 Hongmei's Trouble

The next day, the sky cleared, and the snow slowly turned into water, flowing down the eaves, forming circles of small puddles on the ground.

After breakfast, a group of people packed up their things and prepared to leave, but when they came downstairs, they saw the beggar from yesterday curled up at the door of the inn.

It was extremely cold outside, and he was shivering in ragged and thin clothes.

Seeing this, Ye Chaoge frowned and looked at Hongmei.

Hongmei immediately called the shop waiter, "What's going on?"

Speaking of this, the waiter also looked helpless.

"Yesterday, the little one figured it out. This beggar is a fool. After he was full, the little one wanted to take him to the woodshed to rest, but he didn't know if he didn't understand what the little one said, or what, he was stunned. Go, just huddle there, no, it’s been all night, our shopkeeper was afraid that he would freeze to death and it would be bad luck, so we wanted to drive him away, but he didn’t leave, and he didn’t want a ragged cotton coat, either. Just shrunk there, there is nothing we can do, and we are thinking of reporting to the officials later, so that the Yamen can come and get him away."

While the shop waiter was talking, the beggar seemed to have sensed something, raised his head, and looked at Hongmei with a confused look, his eyes were moving, and there was a hint of eagerness.

"Go and ask."

Ye Chaoge ordered Hongmei.

Hongmei walked up to the beggar in response, "Aren't you cold? Why are you at the door?"

The beggar said nothing, just looked at her.

After asking for a long time, the result has not changed.

Hongmei frowned and looked at Ye Chaoge.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned her head, the beggar reached out tremblingly and stroked her eyebrows.

Hongmei subconsciously stretched out her hand to block it.

But she is a martial artist, with a light touch, the beggar turned over, fell to the ground and never got up again.

Hongmei: "..."

He hurriedly stepped forward to check, and made sure that he was still breathing but just passed out, and then his complexion eased.

Get up and go back to Ye Chaoge, ask for instructions on what to do next.

Ye Chaoge was also a little difficult.

At this moment, Wei Yun suggested, "Leave some money and hand him over to the inn."

Ye Chaoge nodded, that was all he could do.

Wei Yun asked Nan Feng to make arrangements, and then took Ye Chaoge to leave the inn first, followed by Cheng Xi and others.

When passing by the beggar, he glanced curiously.

The beggar was lying there, his face was half covered by his dirty locks of hair, and the exposed half of his face was so dirty that he couldn't see his original appearance.

Without thinking too much, I immediately left the inn.

After handing over the beggar to the inn, the group left Guanning Mansion and headed towards Shangjing.

A distance away from Guanning Mansion, the road ahead was blocked.

It was snowing heavily yesterday, and a hillside collapsed. Fortunately, there are few people here, so no one was hurt, but it blocked the road.

There were a lot of them, and each of them took the tools they could use to clear the road.

This cleaning took half a day to pass.

And the chief guard Zhou who went back to the Guanning government office to report the incident also came back, and ordered to continue on his way.

Unexpectedly, Captain Zhou said that he met the beggar on the way back and was coming along their path.

Moreover, he was still dressed in rags, his shoes showed his toes, and he stepped on the snow. The feeling of stepping on the snow is beyond imagination. This scene, and in this cold winter, is Zhou Weiwei. I can't bear to look at it for a long time.

"What's going on here? Didn't everyone let the inn settle down?"

He also gave a handsome sum of money.

"It is estimated that the inn will not go back when they see us, and they will not handle personnel affairs after taking the money." Zhou Weichang said.

Nan Feng nodded, this is also possible, after all, they are not locals just by hearing their accent, and they are all passing businessmen, so how can the inn handle personnel affairs?
"Miss Sun, this subordinate looks really pitiful, we still have some cotton clothes in the car, how about asking this subordinate to deliver them to him?"

Ye Chaoge nodded, "Go, we will wait for you slowly, be careful."

"Yes."

When Captain Zhou took his cotton coat and got on his horse to leave, Ye Chaoge thought of the scene at the inn, and immediately called out to stop him, "Hongmei, you also go together."

"Yes."

Get in the carriage and move on.

It's just that it's much slower than the previous pace, waiting for Guard Zhou and Hongmei who are lagging behind.

About an hour or so later, horseshoes sounded from behind.

Ye Chaoge said to Wei Yun, "I guess I'm back."

As if in response to her words, Hongmei's voice came, "Miss, the maidservant and Chief Guard Zhou are back, it's just..."

only?

"We brought that beggar back." Hongmei's voice was indescribably weird, listening carefully, it was not difficult to hear the hidden anger.

"Miss Sun, the beggar was holding on to Miss Hongmei, so the subordinates had no choice but to bring her back first." Immediately afterwards, Chief Guard Zhou's voice sounded.

Wei Yun smiled at Ye Chaoge: "Look, you let Hongmei go with you, but you brought a trouble."

Ye Chaoge laughed: "How can it be troublesome, it's just a poor man."

Immediately he said to Chief Guard Zhou and Hongmei outside, since the person brought it back, let's take it first, and wait until the next foothold.

However, she was curious about how to bring it.

Quietly opening the window, I saw Hongmei riding a horse. There was a person sitting behind her, covered by the cotton coat, so I couldn't see clearly. I only saw a pair of black hands on Hongmei's waist.

Ye Chaoge didn't look at Hongmei's expression, put down the window, and looked at Wei Yun quietly, "You seem to be right, I'm afraid it's really troublesome."

Although she only glanced at it, she could also see the beggar's stickiness to Hongmei.

In addition to what he said at the inn and Chief Guard Zhou before, and just now...

This beggar, I'm afraid he has identified Hongmei.

To put it simply, it wasn't that they were causing trouble, but Hongmei seemed to be causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Ye Chaoge made a bitter face, feeling a little guilty.

Wei Yun looked amused, and shook her head, "It's just a little thing, it's worth your troubles? At the next stop, let Nanfeng settle him down."

For some reason, Ye Chaoge couldn't be that optimistic, "I hope."

……

In the afternoon, the beggar suddenly developed a fever, and his body was very hot.

Immediately, he was sent to the carriage for Cheng Xi to diagnose and treat.

Who knows, he clings to Hongmei tightly.

Helpless, Hongmei got into the carriage with him, and when Chengxi came forward for treatment, he refused with action, hiding behind Hongmei and not coming out.

Everyone: "..."

Ye Chaoge silently supported his forehead.

"Forget it, let's go first, and wait until the next town." Wei Yun ordered to start again.

They have two carriages, one for Wei Yun and Ye Chaoge, and one for Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi gave up his carriage to Hongmei and the beggar, and got into the carriage of Wei Yun and Ye Chaoge.

The three of them stared at each other in embarrassment.

Silence flowed, and Wei Yun spoke first: "King Xiqiong, with all due respect, you are coming back to Dayue with us this time, you should not just represent Rouran's congratulations, right?"

This question has been lingering in his mind for the past few days.

At first, he thought that Cheng Xi was still determined.

But after a few days of observation, it seems that this is not the case. For many days, he has never deliberately approached his girl, let alone other behaviors, and he is very well behaved.

Moreover, he didn't think Cheng Xi would be that stupid.
