Chapter 399 (1/2)
Tian Yuqiao walked alone in the streets of Sishui county. She found that it seemed to be much more prosperous than Huai'an county. No wonder she could give birth to a rich man like Zhang laocai.
No matter how busy the streets are, there are inevitably some people who don't have enough to eat and beggars. Tian Yuqiao took out a piece of silver about one or two and threw it in the broken bowl in front of a little beggar next to him.
The little beggar immediately picked off his disheveled hair and revealed a small, dirty face with a big palm.
Tian Yuqiao looked at it carefully. The little beggar looked very beautiful and almost the same age as himself. It's just bony and looks pathetic.
The little girl saw clearly that what was in the bowl was actually a silver corner, and immediately she bowed to Tian Yuqiao excitedly.
”Thank you, Taoist priest. Thank you. I haven't eaten for several days. Thank you for saving my life.”
Tian Yuqiao didn't know what had happened. He couldn't help crying. So he reached out and helped the little beggar up. She felt as light as a piece of paper.
”Come on, I'll take you to change your clothes, then take a bath, and then take you to dinner.”
The little girl didn't know how. She trusted Tian Yuqiao very much, so she followed her.
Tian Yuqiao took the little girl into the virtual world at a corner. The little girl didn't seem to know that she was no longer in the previous world, and still continued to follow behind Tian Yuqiao.
Fortunately, those poisonous insects had long been ordered by Tian Yuqiao and didn't come out to frighten the little beggar.
In the hut, Tian Yuqiao helped the little beggar girl take a bath and then cut her hair.
”Well, yes, you look much better like this.”
”So you are also a girl. Can I call you sister? My name is Xiaoyu. My parents died in a flood since childhood. My grandmother died two months ago, leaving me alone here...”
Xiaoyu is eleven years old. She is a little older than Tian Yuqiao, but she is about the same size as her. Tian Yuqiao found her own clothes to change for Xiaoyu. Let alone, Xiaoyu dressed up looks like a beautiful little girl besides being a little thin.
”Sister qiao'er, can I follow you? I'm willing to sell myself as a slave. Please take me in.” Xiaoyu knelt down to Tian Yuqiao.
In fact, Tian Yuqiao doesn't want to buy people, but Xiaoyu is so poor, and his family is not very prosperous. There's nothing to eat with another little girl. So he agreed to Xiaoyu's request and decided to take her with him.
”Well, we just have to stay here for a few more days. I wonder if you are familiar with the roads around here?”
Xiaoyu was so excited that her big eyes twinkled with tears. ”Miss, I'm very familiar here. I'll ask for dinner everywhere...”
”OK, do you know which fields belong to the rich man Zhang laocai? I'm going to find out.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
”Yes, I'll never forget this until I die. My parents chose to work in the quarry on the mountain because they didn't have the money to pay the rent. As a result, both of them died on the mountain. I know where the land of the old rich family is. I don't know when you plan to see it, miss?”
