Tangled

Chapter 83

"Young master and girl, please do me a favor, I haven't eaten for a few days, please do me a favor and give me a few rewards."

They kowtowed their heads while talking, Shen Qiqi turned sideways to avoid their kneeling.

"Girl, please, please, my mother and children are waiting at home. I have been hungry for two days. If I don't bring food back, they will starve to death."

Among the three, Gu Tingshu and Mu Chengze were not easy to provoke, so the beggars aimed at Shen Qiqi.

Thinking of her daughter's family, seeing that she has not been deeply involved in the world and has the softest heart, she must not just watch the elderly and children starve to death.

They wanted to get closer, but as soon as they moved, a long sword came across from the side, blocking their movements.

The black scabbard was full of evil spirits, and it was obvious at a glance that it had seen blood.

None of them dared to do it again, they could only kneel down and kowtow.

Shen Qiqi looked at the past one by one, not intending to take out the money.

"You said you haven't eaten for a few days, but I see that your eyes are clear and energetic, and you don't seem to be starving all the time."

"Besides, when you have all your hands and feet ready, you don't want to find a job, but you just want to get something for nothing. I don't want to give you a handout, so let's go."

"Girl doesn't know something. The world is difficult. It's not that we want to get something for nothing. We really can't find a living."

"If it wasn't like this, how could healthy people like us be willing to kneel down for a few bucks?"

Their words were sincere, but Shen Qiqi didn't feel any emotion in her heart.

She looked back at the city wall that extended far away, pointed to the woman making mud under the wall, and said softly, "Look at what they are doing."

"As far as I know, the work of transporting stones and blue bricks for building the city wall can earn 25 copper coins a day, even if you don't have the strength, you can get [-] copper coins a day for jobs like making mud and mud."

"Nowadays, steamed buns cost one copper, and you can buy ten for every day you do your work. Even though life is difficult, you won't starve to death."

"It's so pitiful, but I just want to cover up your laziness. If you have two bones, you will never kneel when you see people."

"I don't want to show a little kindness to people who have lost their spine. The rest of my life is long, and I still hope for your self-esteem, so I leave."

Her voice was still soft and waxy, still at a volume that would be blown away by the wind after a short distance, but it was deafening to the ears.

When they walked a long way, those Hanakos were still kneeling on the spot, with their heads bowed, wondering what they were thinking.

Mu Chengze didn't expect her to say such a thing, he thought she would give out some money to reward her like other women.

This is not difficult to see, but he is willing to say this to Hanako, and he has only met this one in his life.

"Cousin, you really admire Brother Wei."

As expected of being from the Shen family, after so many years of being kept in the deep courtyard, he can still maintain his pride.

Xiangshan is not indiscriminate in kindness, knowledgeable but not blindly courageous, no wonder Ash didn't drive her back when he smuggled her out.

I thought it was to give myself a face, but now it seems that I hate it because I think too much.

"Ok?"

Shen Qiqi couldn't react to his sudden sentence, she was stunned for a few moments and just about to speak, an arm suddenly came around.

After a spin, she regained consciousness and was already sitting on the horse, looking down at the two of them.

"You are weak, so sit down."

"Cousin, don't we hurry?"

Although the travel time is not specific to a few days, one of them is the prince and the other is the lord, and there are endless papers to be approved every day, so they should not go slowly.

"I'm not in a hurry for a while."

He responded lightly, without explaining the reason, but Mu Chengze knew it in his heart.

But seeing that she was too full, I was afraid that the horse would run against her.

Obviously a few words can make it clear, if you have to hide it, this person is not likable at all.

"Cousin, we probably can't find a place to stay overnight today."

Mu Chengze took out the map and checked it, calculating how long it would take them to reach the next county at their current speed.

They took the small road and did not pass through the city, and there were few villages in the places they passed.

I don't know how long she can last this journey.

"It's okay, I'll be where my cousin is."

If she couldn't find a place to spend the night, at best she would sleep in the wilderness. It's not like she didn't try it before, so she fell asleep as soon as she slept.

"Cousin is here, there is no danger."

She said this with absolute certainty, she had too much trust in Ash.

Mu Chengze flapped his fan and shook his head helplessly. He was too lazy to leave, so he got on his horse.

"Ash, let's go for a while by himself, I won't accompany you as a brother."

They don't know how long this horse can stay with them, they have to change it when they reach the next city.

Gu Tingshu glanced at him, but didn't respond. Seeing the sun getting bigger, he got on his horse.

Yesterday when he was riding the horse, Shen Qiqi was sitting behind him, but today he rolled over and held her in his arms.

Two bodies crossed her sides to hold the reins of the horse tightly, and the new marks in twos and threes on the back of the dark hands were very eye-catching.

Shen Qiqi glanced at Mu Chengze who was walking side by side, seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side, so she quietly stretched out her hand to cover it.

Gu Tingshu's hand holding the rope tightened, and then relaxed as if nothing had happened, pampering her actions.

"Isn't there a plaster to remove scars at the prince's place? Why don't my cousin use it?"

"trouble."

He is often injured, and if he has to take medicine, it will take a lot of time every day.

It's just a few scars, it's not a problem to keep them, so why bother.

His voice came from the top of his head, not loud, but Shen Qiqi felt a little dizzy.

Shen Qiqi licked her lips and said "Oh" in a low voice.

Although the small road is not like an official road, it is still dusty when trampled by horseshoes.

There is still behind, all the wind and dust blowing towards her face are completely blocked by him, but now she is sitting in the front, there is really no way to avoid the wind and dust blowing towards her face.

She leaned against Gu Tingshu's chest to stabilize her body, and then carefully took out the veil from her arms to cover her face.

The face is covered, but the eyes can't be opened very much. Even if the head is turned sideways, the wind and sand still enter the eyes.

Aware of her discomfort, Gu Tingshu twisted the rein a few times with one hand, and put his other hand around her waist, exerting force, half-holding her and throwing her back.

"Sit down."

Before Shen Qiqi could react, when the wind passing by her ears stopped, she opened her eyes and realized that she was already sitting behind him.

She stretched her arms around Jin's waist, half-closed to him and secretly let out a breath.

"Cousin will make a move next time, and the prophet will tell me."

She didn't complain about his sudden attack, but just told the prophet to call her next time.

The soft tone overwhelmed the whistling wind and the clattering of horseshoes.
