"Woo," the carriage came to a sudden stop, almost causing Ling Qingyu to fall headlong, rubbed his nose and got up, opened the curtain unconsciously, and said, "Zheng Xi, what's wrong?"

While comforting the horse, Zheng Xi pointed to a small figure lying in front of the car and said, "This kid suddenly jumped out from the side, girl, are you not scared?"

"Wanna little bastard, run there!" The small figure on the ground was still struggling to get up, and a tall fat woman brandished a kitchen knife and chased after her.

Ling Qingyu looked at the woman, then at the bun held in the little black hand, jumped out of the carriage, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the purse, and when the fat woman rushed in front of her, said: " This sister, I will pay for the buns he took, can you spare him?"

The sound of sister made the fat woman stop the rushing figure, and a handful of copper coins made her face burst into a smile, and she said: "Young lady is really kind, but you have to be careful, don't let anyone get caught. , This little bastard has been wandering around here for a few days, he is not a good person."

Ling Qingyu sent the fat woman away with a smile, and turned to look at the little figure, who was not very old, about seven or eight years old, dressed in ragged clothes, with a pair of clear and bright eyes on his smudged black face.

"Sister," the child called out hesitantly, but Ling Qingyu raised his hand to stop the words behind him, poured out some copper coins from the purse, thought about it, put the whole purse into the child's hands and said: "Sister is not rich, these you Save it."

Then he immediately got into the car and signaled Zheng Xi to drive away. If I stay any longer, I can't keep my conscience from blowing up, so I kept him here, but now that I'm in a situation where people with unknown backgrounds are less likely to meet, and the truth is to do less when seeing injustice. for someone else.

The child held Ling Qingyu's deodorant purse in his hand, blinked his eyes, and smiled slightly. He had seen that carriage before, and I heard that it was also a family that had just moved here. I mentioned it with disdain at the time, it was a female household.

It was early summer, and the dew in the morning was still a bit cool, and a ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, dyeing the yard in a hazy atmosphere.

Ling Qingyu stretched, took three deep breaths, let the fresh air fill his lungs, and then did a few stretches, ready to start standing.

When she was studying in her previous life, she was busy with various hobbies and sports. After working, she has been busy making money. She also participated in some Tai Chi classes and Wu Qin Xi classes with her girlfriends, but in the end they all died without illness. The only thing she remembers is this stance. After coming here, I have been busy with various situations, and finally made some progress yesterday, so Ling Qingyu planned to start a good exercise, after all, going to sea requires a healthy and strong body.

Putting on a good posture, knees slightly bent, hips sitting down, Ling Qingyu searched for the posture in memory, slowly retracted his abdomen and raised his breath, let the breath start to flow, just after entering the realm, he heard a creak outside the door, and then came a low cry .

Ling Qingyu ignored her and continued to raise her breath, but the crying grew louder, accompanied by sobbing inside. After a few back and forth, Ling Qingyu finally couldn't help it, walked to the door, and opened it.

The small yard that Ling Qingyu bought was originally the residence of a wealthy family who was in charge outside. Because he had to go to Guangzhou with the owner, the sale was urgent and the price was low. It is located in a commoner area in the east of Quanzhou, and most of the surroundings are well-to-do homes. , This yard is at the end of the alley, the lonely family is very clean, but the disadvantage of being clean is that people fall outside the door, and no one else knows.

Ling Qingyu looked at the two people outside the door speechlessly. A young boy was lying on the ground, not knowing whether to live or die. A ragged child was crying on top of the boy. His voice was neither loud nor small, just big enough to get inside the door. Ling Qingyu heard it, but it was so small that other courtyards about twenty meters away would definitely not be able to hear it.

Ling Qingyu's first reaction was to close the door and go home, but the child moved faster than her, rushed forward, hugged her leg, and cried: "Sister, kind sister, do me a favor, save my brother Bar!"

The corners of Ling Qingyu's eyes twitched. Seeing the child looking at him as if he was about to cry, he felt that one head made two big ones. Sure enough, a good person can't do it.

Hearing the commotion outside, Zheng Xi put on a coat and ran out of the East Wing in a hurry. What he saw was that the eldest girl of his family was being hugged by a child's leg, and she was crying so sadly. possibility.

Seeing Zheng Xi's dazed look, Ling Qingyu felt annoyed, "Come here and help, help this guy move in, don't let anyone see him!"

Let Zheng Xi move the young man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the ground to the West Wing, and then put the little boy into the yard, and looked outside the door. There was silence on both sides, no one was there, no voice, so he closed the door. Came to the door, took the little boy to the west wing, sat down on the chair with a big horse, and the little boy threw it on the ground, just about to speak.

"Sister, you have pity on us. My brother and I were robbed by bandits on the road, and my brother was injured. We had no money, so we were living here. But I am young and can't even find a job. Sister, I can do things, as long as I give Eat enough to eat, and can do anything." The child said repeatedly, and then crawled up to the boy who was put on the bed by Zheng Xi, wiped his sleeves, and said: "Sister, do you want to recruit a son-in-law? You Look, my brother looks really good-looking. In the past, many sisters wanted to marry him, but he refused. As long as you can cure him, I guarantee that he will work hard and be your son-in-law."

Ling Qingyu was momentarily speechless by his series of words. Seeing Zheng Xi's adulterous gaze, he hurriedly coughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense, when am I going to recruit a son-in-law!"

"I heard from the granny who sells buns on the street in front of me that a girl's independent housekeeping is either to recruit a husband, or to hide some kind of warehouse." The child lowered his head and said.

"Little bastard, what are you talking about!" It was Zheng Xi who got angry and slapped him with a slap, but Ling Qingyu blocked him and shook his head slightly.

Seeing the faces of Zheng Xi and Ling Qingyu, the child also knew that he had said something wrong, and the family would not want to take him in, so his face darkened, and he said, "I see, I'll take my brother away now. I'm sorry for causing trouble to my sister, but I will pay you back the money for buying buns."

"Wait," Ling Qingyu took a few rough glances, but he could also see that the young man's face was as pale as paper, and there were many dark blood spots on his already gray clothes. Turned into a corpse.

"Food, shelter, medical treatment, how about buying you for ten years?" Ling Qingyu's words made the children overjoyed, but Zheng Xi couldn't help but feel jealous. The girl is really good at saving money. Now it costs 500 a month to hire a servant Money, here is two taels, maybe there will be hundreds of taels of silver in ten years

"Zheng Xi, go find a doctor," Ling Qingyu said, ignoring Zheng Xi's gaze.

"No," a weak voice came from the mouth of the half-dead boy on the bed. The boy tried to lift up, but fell back weakly, and said in a hurry: "I can't find a doctor, Ye'er."

"Brother, you're awake!" The child leaped to his side in surprise, blocking the boy's words with a gesture of probing his forehead.

Ling Qingyu's face darkened again unconsciously, this, no matter how you look at it, is not good, there is a conspiracy, there is something hidden!

"Huh?" Ling Qingyu made a long dragging sound, sat back on the chair again, and looked at the little boy with leisure time, until the little boy became hairy, lowered his head unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "My family was raped by a traitor. Harm, Big Brother Lu took me to escape, and came here to avoid being chased, sister, save Big Brother, we won’t cause trouble for you, if there is any trouble, just hand me over to them.”

"Ye'er!" the boy said anxiously.

"Brother Lu, what can I do if I'm alone?" The little kid suppressed the boy, raised his head, and said with clear eyes, "My surname is Ye and I'm eleventh, and this is Lu Yao, the son of my father's friend. "

Ling Qingyu didn't know if he was in the mood of sympathizing with each other, or if he was in the mood to run away when trouble came. He was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man, and he heard Zheng Xi saying from the side: "Girl, there is a shortage of sailors, cooks, and coolies on board."

Ling Qingyu supported his forehead, and then thought about it, yes, even if these two people have any enemies, they can take them to the sea after a month, and once they go out, the sea and the sky will be brighter. As for himself, he happened to have two subordinates who had been kind to him.

It's just this body, Ling Qingyu's eyes swept across the young man's emaciated body, Ye Shiyi's small body like disgust, this little guy can also serve tea and water for himself, that boy, really can't, train him to be a helmsman

"Girl, if you don't treat this little brother Lu, I think you will lose one sailor." Zheng Xi's voice sounded again, seeing Ling Qingyu glaring over angrily, and said: "If you can't use the doctor outside, Boss Ding There is a ship doctor who can't talk nonsense."

Ling Qingyu got up and walked out the door, took out a hundred taels of silver bill from the small bag on his chest, turned it around, handed it to Zheng Xi and said, "Go and ask the ship doctor, and then buy some medicine, and bring some ginseng or something. , anyway, it’s also used on board.”

Zheng Xi took the silver ticket, and his heart was filled with emotion. Along the way, the girl was careful and careful, saving money so much that she didn't even need a maid, she took care of everything by herself, but she was willing to spend the same amount of money as this small courtyard for strangers Well, the girl is really the same kind and lovely girl as before.

Seeing Zheng Xi running out of the house, Ling Qingyu took Ye Shiyi to the kitchen and said, "I don't care what your status was before, since you have sold yourself to me now, do a good job for me. Did you see, there is a wooden barrel in there, and the water is lifted into it."

Leaving Ye Shiyi in the kitchen, Ling Qingyu turned around and went back to the West Wing. He tore the boy's clothes and took them off. The clothes should be made of high-quality materials. There was no time to consider the material of the clothes, and he didn't see Lu Yao's face turning blue. His attention was drawn to the intertwined scars on his naked body, and he took a deep breath.

There are always more than a dozen scars on the body, the bones are deep enough to be seen, and the flesh that is turned over has begun to rot, and pus and blood are flowing. Fortunately, the wounds have avoided the vital points, and there are traces of medicine, otherwise, the bleeding would be all gone .

Ling Qingyu sighed unconsciously: "It's so rotten, how can you not die!"

Lu Yao was holding his breath, but when this woman directly tore his clothes and stripped him naked, he felt so emotional again, he couldn't breathe, and passed out.

Ling Qingyu wanted to take another look at the injuries on other parts of his body, but smelled a burnt smell in his nose, said badly, and rushed out of the west wing, only to see thick smoke coming from the kitchen.

When Zheng Xi returned to the yard with the boat doctor, the yard was already in a mess, half of the kitchen door was burned, water was flowing everywhere in the yard, Ling Qingyu was admonishing Ye Shiyi with his hands on his hips.

"If you want you to light the fire, you burn my kitchen, if you want you to carry water, you flood my yard, if you want you to take a bath, you overturn the buckets, Ye Shiyi, in fact, you are here to seek revenge from me!"

Zheng Xi and the ship doctor ignored the courtyard and went directly to the west wing, and then saw Lu Yao lying on the bed with his upper body naked. His upper body had been cleaned up. On the chair next to him, there was a basin of water with a handkerchief beside .

The ship doctor didn't say anything, and went straight up to see a doctor.

"You go in and take a bath honestly for me, and wash yourself, you know?" Ling Qingyu said with a sigh of relief seeing Zheng Xi brought the doctor in.

"In the past, Xiaotao washed it for me." Ye Shiyi lowered his head and said in a small voice.

"That was before, now you have to learn to be self-reliant, you know!" Ling Qingyu said viciously.

"Well, I'll learn." Ye Shiyi raised his head, and said with a pitiful expression on his delicate face after washing, "Sister, you don't want me, do you?"

A beautiful young embryo spoke in such a soft and pleading tone, Ling Qingyu's aunt who was running around suddenly softened her heart. Thinking that since the doctor came, Lu Yao would have nothing to do with himself, so he softened his voice and said, "I'll teach you to wash this time, but you will have to do it yourself in the future."

"Um,"

"Eleven, how old are you?" Ling Qingyu asked casually as he wiped the rolling muddy water from Ye Eleven's back.

"Seven years old," Ye Shili sat honestly in the wooden barrel and let Ling Qingyu wash it.

This body is dirty, although Lu Yao's body is full of injuries, it is not so dirty, but as the mud is washed away, a white and tender body like fine white jade appears in front of him, the skin is delicate and fair, It is soft and lubricating to the touch, and it feels better than the top-grade silk satin. Coupled with the shiny black hair, and the delicate and inhuman face, Ling Qingyu paused, and said: "You deliberately put so much on yourself? Mud?"

"When we were being hunted down, some people said they were going to arrest me for child molestation. Brother Lu said that was not a good thing, so I thought, if I get muddy, no one will recognize me and won't arrest me. Child molestation." Ye Shixi yelled and said, "After we got here, no one wanted to take us in, so we had to live in the dilapidated temple over there. I wanted to ask for some money to treat Brother Lu's illness. But no one cares about me, these days, only sister you care about me, so at night, I moved Brother Lu here."

Ling Qingyu felt that the bottom of her heart was touched by the child's soft voice, and took Ye Shiyi out of the bucket, which was clean and fragrant, and wiped him clean. Seeing that the child's eyes were almost closed, so, Wrapping the towel around his body, he walked towards the main room, coaxing him: "Go to bed first, don't go out during this time, after we go out to sea, we won't be afraid of chasing and killing your people."

There are three main rooms, one in the middle is the living room, and the one on the right is for Ling Qingyu to live by himself. Remembering that Lu Yao is seriously ill now, Ye Shiyi and a child don’t have to hide so much, so he put Ye Shiyi in the room on the left. room bed.

Fortunately, it turned out that the steward of the big family left in a hurry, and Ling Qingyu bought some bedding and furniture with only a little extra money.

The bedding was cleaned by the washerwoman in the neighborhood, and then dried in the sun. After all, the child who was only seven years old, Ye Shiyi fell on the pillow, hugged the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

Ling Qingyu closed the door for him, and went to the west wing to check on Lu Yao's situation.

"Fortunately, he didn't hurt the vitals. The medicine he took himself was also a high-quality gold-chuang medicine. Otherwise, it would have been delayed for a few days, and he would have died." The ship's doctor was prescribing the prescription, and said: "I left the medicine for external use. You buy a few more, he is still young, take good care of him, and he will recover quickly."

"Thank you, Old Shi." Zheng Xi took the prescription and thanked him.

"It's such a big deal, I know, I won't talk nonsense," the ship's doctor suddenly approached Zheng Xi and said, "Last night, I heard that Boss Ding is going to start the ship again? I wonder if there is still a doctor on board?"

"A doctor is definitely needed, but if you can get on the boat, you have to ask Boss Ding." Zheng Xi took a step back. Shi Fang's medical skills are very good, but the wine is good, and the wine quality is not good. Eight out of ten days he was drunk. Once he stole all the goods on the ship, and no one dared to find him. He is on board.

"Got it, got it," Shi Fang took the consultation fee, waved his hand, and returned the gift to Ling Qingyu who gave him a big gift at the door, carried the medicine box on his back, and walked away leisurely.

"Then, I'm going to get the medicine." Zheng Xi took the prescription and went out.

Ling Qingyu looked at Lu Yao who was wrapped like a rice dumpling on the bed, and couldn't help laughing. Compared with Ye Shiyi, Lu Yao's appearance was very upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very heroic, but now only one head was left in the bag. Outside, it looks really funny.

Lu Yao was awakened by the doctor's torment. First, he sprayed wine on the wound, then directly stitched some thick wounds with needles, and then touched a layer of painful ointment. Finally, when Shi Fang bandaged him forcefully, Lu Yao Haruka felt that she had lost all feeling.

So seeing Ling Qingyu come in, Lu Yao rolled his eyelids and didn't have the strength to say anything.

But Ling Qingyu didn't need him to talk, she stood by the bed, looked around enough, and then said: "Ye Shiyi is already asleep, you should take a rest first, and when Zheng Xi comes back from buying medicine and breakfast, I will call Yours, don't worry, since Ye Shiyi has sold both of you to me, he is mine, and I will try my best to protect your safety, um, no one will arrest Ye Shiyi and you To be a child molester."
