Poor children

Chapter 179
一
Pao'er had never seen someone so sad. He just hugged the Taoist priest and let her cry bitterly. The tears on her chest had already wet the clothes on her chest. Wu'er wanted to come over and say some words of advice, but Pao'er used his eyes to signal her not to come. I know that if I don't let her vent it out happily, I'm afraid she won't be able to get rid of the hatred in this half of her life...

After about a stick of incense, the Taoist priest slowly calmed down and sat upright again. He just held the poor boy's hand and refused to let go, as if he was holding a life-saving straw. , she was afraid that as soon as she let go of Pao'er's hand, everything would cease to exist. It was like countless times in her dreams, she saw Tiedan'er, whom she longed for, but when she woke up, there was nothing there...

"Tie...Tie Dan'er, how good is he?" Taoist Master Minqiu asked, staring at the poor boy closely, his eyes full of longing.

"He's doing well," the poor man said with a smile, "He can eat and sleep, and he's good at martial arts. Compared with his dark and thin appearance when I first met him, he's a lot more promising now."

"Okay, okay!" Taoist Master Minqiu became happy when he heard that his son is well now. "May I ask what the relationship between the girl and my son is?"

"Brother Tiedan'er is my sworn brother. Logically speaking, the Taoist priest is also my mother." After saying this, the pauper knelt down in front of the Taoist priest. "My daughter has seen her mother, and she is blessed..." After saying this, he bowed down. Bow down

"Oh! Good boy, you can't help it, get up quickly..." The Taoist priest reached out to help him, and tears suddenly came out again.

The pauper stood up and sat down. When he saw the Taoist Priest crying again, he quickly wiped the tears from her face with his hands, "Mom, don't cry. Is it a happy event to meet you here?"

"Yes, yes..." After hearing this, the Taoist priest wiped his tears and asked quickly, "I wonder where Tiedan'er is now? I want to see him."

"Brother Tiedan'er lives in the northwest, and the journey is far away." Po'er thought for a long time and said, "Why don't you go to Qilin Village to stay for a few days tomorrow? When I have arranged everything, I will ask someone to escort my mother to the northwest to meet Tie Dan'er." Brother Dan'er"

"Do you still have to wait?" Taoist Master Minqiu didn't want to wait any longer when he learned that Tiedan'er was alive. He wished he could see him now. "Why don't I just leave tomorrow, and I don't need anyone to escort... "

"Mother doesn't know, there is a coup d'état in the northwest, Brother Tie Dan'er is trapped in the city, I have to confirm that I am fully sure, mother can only rest assured after going to safety..."

"Is my son in danger?" The Taoist priest had just calmed down and suddenly became nervous again.

"No, no, the place where he lives is very safe. It's just that the city is in turmoil now, and it's inconvenient to get in and out. The Turks are so fierce. I might get into trouble if I don't do it. Mom, I won't miss it for a few days. I'll confirm it. We know about the situation in the city. As long as it’s safe, my mother will go there right away, okay?” Paoer comforted her.
For some reason, Pao'er's words seemed to have some magic power. Taoist Master Chunqiu immediately calmed down and agreed to wait at Qilin Village.
"Isn't this Qilin Village a place for bandits? Son! How do you have contact with them?" the Taoist priest couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, don't worry. Although they are bandits, thieves also have their own ways. They all come from poor backgrounds and have never harmed a good person. They are all my brothers. I will write a letter now and bring it to my mother." If you go to the boss, they will take good care of you. Your daughter will go to see you soon, okay?" asked the pauper

"well……"

After a whole night of commotion, the next morning everyone in the mansion got on their carts early and wanted to rush back to the palace, but Liao Chen said he was sick and did not come out to see him off. Don't think too much about other things
The journey was so hurried that my feet picked up speed. It only took half a day before I returned home. The group was exhausted and returned to their respective residences to rest.
The pauper had just returned to the room and sat down when someone came from outside and spread the word that the boy from Zhong'an Hall was here. The medicine the girl had ordered there had arrived. He asked the girl if she wanted to go over and take a look now.
Pao'er knew that this must be Shopkeeper Xu who wanted to see her for something. He calculated the time and thought it would be time for Stick to come back from Nibala Kingdom, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and hurried out.
Sure enough, when I arrived at Zhong'an Hall, I saw Stick sitting on a chair drinking tea as soon as I walked in. I saw that he had just arrived. He was covered in travel dust and had a beard on his face. He must have been working hard for the past month or so.

"Stick..." Paoer called hurriedly
When Guangzi saw the poor boy coming, he quickly put down his tea bowl and stood up to greet him, "Third Master..."

"You two..." Shopkeeper Xu shouted hurriedly, "There are many people here, please go to the backyard to talk..." So a few people went to the backyard to sit down and talk in Shopkeeper Xu's study.
"Did you find what I asked you to look for?" the poor boy asked as soon as he sat down.

"I found it when I went back to the third master's house." The stick hurriedly took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to the poor boy.
The pauper took it but didn't open it. He just asked Wu'er to give the stick a few coins that he had packed when he came out. "You have worked hard these days. You have helped me a lot. I have nothing to thank you for, only a few mundane things." , don't think too little..."

When Guangzi saw the money, he became frightened, "The third head of the family treats me as an outsider. The younger one doesn't deserve his fair share of anything he does, so what kind of money can he get?"

"You see, you are such a busy person. I gave it to you because I thought you were my brother. I also feel sorry for you. If you don't accept it, won't it make me feel sad?" said the pauper.

The stick accepted the money after hearing what the poor boy said.
"You passed through Tubo country when you came back. Have you received the letter I sent you from Feige to Tubo country?" The poor man stroked the brocade box and asked again.

"I got it, little one," the stick replied.

"Is the matter ready?" Paoer asked.

"Back to the Third Master, thanks to the pigeon's arrival in time, I set off from Tubo half a day later," Stick said. "After receiving the letter, I stayed for a few more days. I wandered around the streets and alleys, spreading all the gossip that should be spread. When I arrived, I was afraid that I would not be able to reach the ears of the Tubo Imperial Master, so I made a special trip to make friends with the Living Buddha of the Great Buddha Temple..."

"Well, you have always been reliable in your work. I can trust you. You have worked hard. You can recuperate here for a few days and then go back to the village." The poor man said, "Just one thing, don't show off on the street. After all, it is you who comes to ask for ransom. Don't do it." I was caught by someone from the palace..."

The pauper took some borneol and musk from Zhong'an Hall and returned to the palace. Before he reached the door, he found a bicycle frame parked in front of the main entrance of the palace. It was obviously different from the one in the Central Plains. He knew that the Tubo Imperial Guard was here.
The pauper stood at the gate looking at the carriage and thinking about what kind of excuse he should come up with to go to the prince's study to meet him, but he saw You An running out of the mansion in a hurry.

"Xiao Anzi, what are you doing?" Pao'er asked hurriedly when he saw him running out.

"Girl, just right, just right..." Youan said

"What's just right?" the poor boy asked

"Just now, the prince asked me to go to the study to find the girl. An important guest came to the house. The prince wanted to invite the girl to meet him, so I went to the courtyard. They said that the girl was out, so I was busy going out to look for the girl. Fortunately, I met here," Youan said

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Po Er thought in her mind that she was suffering from no excuse to see the Tubo Imperial Master, but her father directly asked her to go see him. I am afraid that such a coincidence cannot be written in the book.
"What are you doing, girl? Why don't you go quickly?" Seeing the poor boy's hesitation, Youan hurriedly urged him.
"I...should I go change my clothes first?" Pao'er felt that the matter was too simple and hesitated.

"Why do you want to change your clothes? The prince got impatient and started to curse. He also begged the girl to go quickly..."
