Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 8

Xiaodouzi threw the candied haws on the ground.

Mrs. Chen quickly picked it up and wrapped it with her handkerchief. She said angrily, "You little white-eyed wolf, you are punished by God for wasting food, don't you know?"

Xiaodouzi cried loudly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Gu Heng sighed, and Chen continued.

"Don't cry, if we don't find a place to bury your mother, we will leave you and your mother here."

Xiaodouzi hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face.

Gu Heng pushed the corpse and followed Chen Shi forward. They walked for two hours, passed through the bustling city, and only arrived at a Yizhuang after leaving the city.

There are many corpses parked here, most of them are people from other places who came here to make a living. Since there is no place to bury the corpses, they can only find a yizhuang to store them.

Mrs. Chen took out all of Mrs. Du's money, just now in exchange for a tomb where she lived with several foreigners.

In fact, Gu Heng has always been very curious before, why the ancients would sell their bodies to bury their fathers, and just find a random place to bury them.

Later, when she really came to ancient times, she realized that every piece of land has its own owner. It really fulfilled that sentence, the rich stretches for thousands of miles, and the poor have no place to stand.

They bought a torn mat for Mrs. Du, wrapped it up, and put it in the tomb.

Neither Gu Heng nor Mrs. Chen ate anything, and they filled up the soil for a long time before burying Mrs. Du.Xiaodouzi didn't know where he went, but he found a piece of wood.

There was no pen or ink here, Xiaodouzi bit his own finger and wrote Du's name on the wooden board.

Du Xianglian.

Xiaodouzi's handwriting is good, and Du's sent him to school.

Gu Heng let out a long sigh. It was almost noon, and Gu Heng and Chen's stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Chen took out the candied haws from his bosom.

"Eat some, I have to find a place for Xiaodouzi in the afternoon."

Gu Heng ate two candied haws, Chen ate three, and Gu Heng gave the remaining two to Xiaodouzi, but Xiaodouzi refused to eat them.

Chen Shi sighed.

"We are doing your mother a favor. Your mother's money is only enough to bury herself, and I will find a temple to send it to you later."

When Xiaodouzi heard this, he immediately shouted: "I don't want to be a monk, I'm going to the capital to find my father."

Chen took Xiaodouzi to a small temple on the outskirts of the city. There was a lot of incense in the temple. She found a monk in charge of the main hall.

Mrs. Chen took Xiaodouzi's hand and said: "Master, this child's mother died of illness on the boat, and now he has no relatives, no relatives around him, can your temple accept this child?"

The monk said blankly: "Of course, the benefactor will follow me to talk elsewhere."

The monk brought Mrs. Chen to the back hall. The monk looked around and found that there was no one else, so he said softly to Mrs. Chen, "Can you prepare something for this child?"

Chen was a little puzzled, she continued to ask: "What does the master mean?"

The monk had a look of displeasure on his face.

Gu Heng let out a long sigh, and she said to Mrs. Chen, "It's for money."

Chen Shi was a little surprised.

"Is this also money?"

The monk's face turned cold.

"This is the rule. If you don't abide by the Buddhist rules, then there is no need to say it."

The monk turned around and was about to leave. Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "Wait, Master, how much do you need?"

I saw the monk stretch out his hand with five fingers.

"Five or two."

Chen's heart suddenly turned cold, if they paid the money, they would not be able to go to the capital.

Mrs. Chen sighed, and said to Xiaodouzi: "It seems that your child has no destiny with Buddha, let's change another place."

When the three of them left the temple, their chests were already hungry, but they were still reluctant to eat anything.

Looking at the temple behind her, Mrs. Chen said with a helpless smile, "This Buddha doesn't cross the poor, that's all, let's go to the theater to have a look."

Mrs. Chen took Xiaodouzi to the theater again.

But people in the opera garden dislike Xiaodouzi's poor figure, and don't want it because he is too old.

Just before leaving, an actor said to Mrs. Chen: "The Chu Pavilion in the north of the city accepts Mr. Turtle. This boy is handsome. He can be sold, or he can be sold to Renyazi in the south of the city. It can also be worth two taels of silver."

Chen looked at Xiaodouzi with a cold face, and Xiaodouzi looked at Chen fiercely.

Chen was very angry, she grabbed Xiaodouzi's hand.

"Even if I sell you, that is also a way of life for you, and your mother has to thank me!"

Xiaodouzi shook off Chen's hand.

He said viciously: "I don't need you to worry about me. I am a beggar on the street, and I have to go to the capital to find my father."

Chen was suddenly angry, and wanted to reach out to hit Xiaodouzi, Gu Heng quickly reached out to block Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi might be really scared, he grabbed Gu Heng's hand and bit it hard.

Gu Heng suffered from pain, and his palms were immediately covered with blood.

Chen was so angry that she stretched out her foot and kicked Xiaodouzi to the ground.

Xiaodouzi cried, "You are bad people! Bad people!"

People on the street all looked sideways, and Chen was so anxious that he directly dragged Gu Heng to the pier.

She said: "Okay, since you said that we are bad people, then we don't care about it, Ah Heng, let's go back to the boat, he will be a beggar if he wants to, anyway, we are not relatives, so don't care what he does!"

Xiaodouzi was alone on the side of the road, watching the backs of the two as they went away without crying or making a fuss.

Gu Heng was pulled away by Chen Shi.

The more Gu Heng thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She said to Mrs. Chen: "Mother, we can't leave him there, he is still a child, and Mrs. Du also paid for the boat, so the boss of the boat should send him to the capital." , let's throw him here, if this gets out, will my brother still be an official?"

Chen Shi was in a fit of anger, facing Gu Heng, she hated iron for being weak.

"You damn girl, we brought him to the boat, this kid won't eat or drink, can the boat boss take care of him? Don't we have to pay for it?"

Gu Heng: "I think the boss of the boat is a good person, and he shouldn't watch Xiaodouzi starve to death."

Chen said with a sneer: "The boss of the boat is so hungry that his daily meals are either radishes or cabbage, is he a good person?"

Gu Heng had no choice but to say: "Mother, if we leave Xiaodouzi here, the people on the boat will not say that the boss of the boat is ruthless, but will only say that we have a bad conscience. Let's take Xiaodouzi back to make things difficult for the boss of the boat. Come over to us."

Chen thought for a moment.

"It's true, we are also scholars after all, we have to accumulate some virtue for your brother."

Gu Heng suddenly smiled and said: "That's right, we have done so many good things, my brother must be in high school."

Mrs. Chen stopped talking, Gu Heng hurried to the street where Xiaodouzi was thrown away, but after looking around, there was no sign of Xiaodouzi.

Gu Heng hurriedly asked the people next to him, and a passerby showed Gu Heng the way.

I saw Xiaodouzi standing in front of a noodle stall.

Such a small child must be hungry after running all day.

The stall owner looked at Xiaodouzi very impatiently.

"Little beggar, get out of here."

Gu Heng hurried over, took out three Wen coins, and said to the stall owner, "Boss, have a bowl of noodles."

Xiaodouzi also saw Gu Heng, the little guy seemed to have just cried, his eyes were bright red.Obviously just cried.

Gu Heng sighed.

"Let's eat something."
