Chapter 6

Ran Feize didn't reply.

He finished watching Su Xiaopei after raising his eyebrows, then went to drink his tea, he didn't seem to take Su Xiaopei's meaning seriously.

Su Xiaopei also held his breath and drank tea without pestering or explaining.

At this time, someone shouted outside the house: "Boss Tang is back." Someone shouted again: "Mr. Wu Jia is here."

It turned out that the group of gossiping people who wanted to watch the excitement hadn't left, they were embarrassed to enter the house, and just waited in front of the door to see the situation.Just now when Tang Lian came back, someone had already rushed to inform the Tang family and his son who were running a shop outside.

The door of the shouting room was pushed open, Su Xiaopei looked up, a man in his forties and a boy in his teens came in, followed by an old man with a gray beard.

Tang Li's mother, Tang Lishi, hurried out when she heard the movement, her eyes were red, she must have cried a lot.When he came out and saw the man, he called out "officer", and tears came down again.

Tang Lian's father was named Tang Zhong, and his face was very ugly at this time.

His daughter was robbed by bandits two months ago. At the beginning, he was anxious and heartbroken. He reported to the officials and searched the neighbors to find her together. But as time went by, his daughter was nowhere to be seen. poured out.Tang Zhong is a face-saving man, he couldn't stand this, seeing his daughter disappeared, and after a long time, thinking about the odds, he felt sad, so he simply assumed that she was dead.

The gossip was finally gone these days, and he felt a little relieved. Occasionally, he felt sad when he thought of what happened to his daughter, but he also hoped that this matter would pass quickly, so that no one would mention it.Unexpectedly, after lunch today, I went to the shop with my son not long ago, but a neighbor rushed to report that Tang Lian had returned alive.

Tang Zhong's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't say he was unhappy, but the scene of his daughter losing his innocence and the Tang family would be pointed out immediately came to his mind.He didn't say much, and hurriedly closed the shop and rushed home with his son Tang Song.

Tang Li and Tang Zhong were talking about their daughter's return.
As soon as these people entered the door, Ran Feize stood up, and Su Xiaopei imitated his example and quickly stood up.But her legs and feet were really painful. It was fine when she was standing all the time before, but now she sat down and got up again, as if her legs were run over by a car. She gasped in pain and almost fell.

Ran Feize supported her arm and straightened her.

Tang Zhong heard Tang Li's talk about the situation, and came over to thank Ran Feize.First, he clasped his fists and shouted "Ran Zhuangshi", thanked him, and introduced himself.Ran Feize also cupped his fists, and said "Boss Tang", and said that it was just a little effort, no need to say thank you and other polite words.

It was another dry conversation, and Su Xiaopei was listening, wondering if people in ancient times had spent half of their energy on these so-called politeness and etiquette.

Just as he was distracted, Tang Zhong turned to her, clasped his fists, and asked, "Who is this?"

Su Xiaopei became nervous for a while, imitating Ran Feize's example, she cupped her fists and said, "Boss Tang." Then the whole room stared at her again, Ran Feize didn't look at her specifically, but she quickly looked at him At a glance, he saw the corners of his mouth curved up.

Oops, her etiquette must have been wrong again.How is it played on TV, are you squatting with your hands squeezed by your side?Su Xiaopei's mind was a bit empty, anyway, she couldn't yell out "Nujia", she couldn't squat down, she just didn't care about it, it's wrong, what's going on on TV is that the sons and daughters of the world don't care about trivial matters!

Ran Feize seemed to have had enough fun, and finally helped her save the scene. "This girl also met in the mountains by chance, and she has the problem of not remembering things. Don't blame everyone."

Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization, even if there was any displeasure in their hearts, it was not good to express it, so they were polite to each other, Su Xiaopei had learned to be good a long time ago, if he could not speak, he would not speak, and if he could not act, he would not act. Be cautious in your words and deeds.

Tang Zhong asked his wife to prepare some food for his benefactor, but he went into the inner room with his son and the old man.Su Xiaopei took a glance and guessed that they were going to talk to Tang Lian.She was suddenly worried. Most of the hostages would have stress reactions and psychological problems after being rescued. She didn't know what would happen to Tang Lian.

She whispered to Ran Feize: "Strong man, they were talking just now, can you tell who that old man is?"

Ran Feize looked at her and replied, "It's Chief Jia."

"What is a chief?"

"Ten households have one family, and each family has its own head. Miss, don't you remember this?"

Ten households and one Jia, the head of Jia?Su Xiaopei pondered for a while, wondering if this is a bit similar to the community director of the street.At this time, Tang Lian could be heard crying in the back room: "Father." Then came the vague voice of a man, who couldn't make out clearly.

After listening to Tang Zhong's instructions, Mrs. Tang Li went to the kitchen to make food for Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei. Su Xiaopei was a little worried because she was not by Tang Lian's side at this time.

After waiting for a while, the crying inside stopped, Tang Li also brought out two bowls of noodles, Ran Feize politely thanked and took it, Su Xiaopei followed his example, thanked and took it.Tang Li hurriedly took another bowl into the inner room, but Tang Lian, like them, hadn't eaten yet.

Su Xiaopei was so hungry, she pricked up her ears to listen to the movement in the back room, and gorged on noodles.Ran Feize always eats noodles with a polite look, taking no time to rush and being gentle.

His demeanor really doesn't match his tall stature and oversized baggage.While Su Xiaopei was thinking, he quickly ate up all the noodles, not even leaving a mouthful of noodle soup.

After a while, Mrs. Tang Li came out again, and said in a low voice: "Thank you benefactor, there is something at home, it is inconvenient to stay with him for a long time, and he is not well greeted, don't blame him."

Su Xiaopei sighed in her heart, fortunately she had the cheek to speak up before, otherwise the meal would have been lost.

Ran Feize still politely returned the gift, thanked the Tang family for their hospitality, and then left.Su Xiaopei was afraid that he would be left behind, so he hurriedly grabbed a corner of his big baggage and followed him out.

Two people walked to the street, one in front of the other.Ran Feize didn't speak, and Su Xiaopei didn't speak either. Her legs and feet were in unbearable pain. Every step on the ground felt like being stabbed by a knife. But compared to the pain, she was more afraid of being left behind by Ran Feize.

Ran Feize stopped suddenly, Su Xiaopei didn't pay attention and almost bumped into him.He turned around, took out a purse from his pocket, shook it, poured the money in the purse into his palm and showed it to Su Xiaopei.

About ten copper coins, Su Xiaopei glanced at them, but didn't count the exact number.

Ran Feize still didn't speak, but there was a half-smile on his face.Su Xiaopei frowned, and asked seriously: "Is this all the property of the strong man?"

property?Ran Feize frowned, and replied: "This is indeed all my money." He waited to see what else this weird girl could say.

Su Xiaopei stared at those copper coins, and suddenly asked: "How is the money calculated here?"

"What?" He really didn't understand the words.

"Hmm." How should I explain it?Su Xiaopei turned his head and saw someone selling buns and steamed buns beside him, and hurriedly said, "That's right, how many buns can these copper coins buy?"

Ran Feize followed her gaze and said with a smile, "I've never bought one in this town, but it's pretty much the same as other places, three copper coins for a steamed bun, five copper coins for a steamed bun."

Su Xiaopei carefully counted the copper coins in Ran Feize's palm. According to the cheap calculation, three copper coins can be exchanged for one steamed bun. He has fifteen copper coins, which means five steamed buns. She should eat less, one for each meal. He felt wronged A little, eat two is good, then this is not enough for two meals.

Ran Feize laughed, he had never seen anyone counting money like this.She should know by now that he really can't take care of her.

"Girl." He called out, intending to tell her that there was a nunnery not far from Stone Town, and if she really didn't know where to go, he could send her to that nunnery.But before he finished speaking, Su Xiaopei raised his head and asked, "How does the strong man plan to make money?"

Ran Feize was dumbfounded.Was she asking him what he could do for a living?How do you make a living?
This girl is not young, her hair, clothing and accent are all weird. She says she doesn't remember things, but she doesn't even know about human relations, affairs, and daily life.She intends to be jealous of him, he knows, but she doesn't smile or flatter, with such a serious face, serious and serious playing tricks, he has never seen her.

Ran Feize smiled: "I have a lot of strength and some skills, so it's not a problem to find food and clothing. But girl, what are your plans?"

She will definitely say that she has no place to go, no money, no relatives, because she can't remember anything, she will beg him to take her in, and he will tell her for the last time that he can't take her in, he can only send her to the edge of town On the nunnery.

In the end, what Su Xiaopei said was: "I plan to contribute a little bit. When the strong man goes to earn money, I can help the strong man with his luggage."

Ran Feize was dumb again.Look at the luggage - is that a little effort?This is really too thick-skinned, Ran Feize shook his head, "Girl." He decided to speak clearly, just started, but he seemed to see something behind Su Xiaopei, turned his head and left.

Su Xiaopei was stunned for a moment, then looked back subconsciously, and saw nothing special, but when he turned his head again, only for a moment, Ran Feize was nowhere to be seen.

Su Xiaopei's face collapsed.no?Could it be that she was wrong in her judgment, that this capable and kind-hearted man would actually leave her, a weak woman with amnesia, without saying a word?
It turned out that it was so simple and easy for him to abandon her.

Su Xiaopei stood there dumbfounded, her heart was cold, disappointment and fear welled up in her heart.In the strange and simple streets, the crowd dressed in strange ancient costumes, and the accent that he couldn't fully understand, Su Xiaopei tasted the feeling of helplessness and fear for the first time.

"You, yes, it's you, just now you talked to a strong man? Who is that?"

Su Xiaopei blinked, turned around and saw a well-dressed woman in red, with flat eyebrows and thin lips, quite serious, holding a sword with a blue sheath in her hand, she was aggressive, and she was attacking she asked.

Su Xiaopei shook his head.The woman frowned, and asked again: "Is it carrying a huge burden, looks good and handsome, surnamed Ran?"

Su Xiaopei continued to shake her head, she didn't know her, she didn't know the relationship between her and the strong man, and she was so fierce and rude, now she had a broken leg and was depressed, so she didn't want to talk to her.

"Are you dumb?" The woman continued to press.

"Thank you for your concern." Su Xiaopei was unhappy and couldn't help but choke her.Her foot hurt so much, she moved to the wall and leaned against it.

care?Who cares about her?The woman frowned even tighter, looked at Su Xiaopei carefully, and suspected that she was mentally ill.Look, that clothes, that hair style, the tone of voice, how does it look like a normal person.

"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?" She saw a blurry figure from a distance, and she wasn't sure that it was Ran Feize, and his wife disappeared in a blink of an eye, so of course she had to ask carefully.

"Does the girl have any money?" Su Xiaopei's heart was broken, she didn't know what to do next, she had no money and nowhere to go, so she should ask for help if she got caught right now.

The girl in red was taken aback for a moment, where did these words come from?Do you have to give money to answer?
"If you have money, can you lend me some? Or lend me a suit of clothes. Girl, I have never been here before, I still have amnesia, my legs still hurt, I have no one to rely on, no relatives..."

Before Su Xiaopei finished speaking, the woman turned her head and left, "So she is a crazy beggar."

beggar?

Su Xiaopei swallowed back all the words she asked for help later on, watching the woman's figure quickly disappear into the crowd.

Still crazy?
Su Xiaopei curled her lips, her legs and feet hurt too much, she couldn't take it anymore, she thought her face must be twisted, she couldn't help but sighed, couldn't stand up, so she simply moved to a corner and sat down.

People passed by her on the street from time to time, all of them cast surprised eyes, but no one paid attention to her, let alone approached her to ask and care about her.Su Xiaopei looked at herself, the unfit men's clothes covered from head to toe, covered with dried mud and black tabby feet, although she couldn't see the head and face, but she could imagine the embarrassment it would be like,

I don't know if the law and order here is good. There won't be any gangsters bullying women on the street, right?Will the urban management police come to interrogate her and drive her away when they see her disheveled clothes?Or grab her?Do beggars have territory divisions?Can the beggars take her in?
Su Xiaopei was thinking wildly, lowering his head in a daze.What should she do?Otherwise, go back to Tang Lian's house for help?Although the family was not very talkative and had no intention of caring about outsiders, she and Tang Lian had a long-term relationship, and they were both women in distress. It was better to go to her house to ask for help than to sleep on the street, right?

Su Xiaopei tried hard to recall where the Tang family was, but found that she was too busy following Ran Feize just now and didn't pay attention to the route, and she didn't know if she could still find it.She gritted her teeth, no matter what, she had to give it a try, she had been sitting here for too long, it was no way to go on like this, it would be bad when it got dark.

Su Xiaopei thought so, and planned to get up and move, but when he moved, he found that he couldn't stand up.She inhaled in pain, slowly propped herself up on the ground, moved and turned around, and climbed the wall behind her, intending to use it.As long as you can stand up, it doesn't matter what your posture is, you don't need to worry about embarrassing things like this situation.

Grinning and wriggling, a big hand reached out and grabbed her elbow, supporting her up.Out of the corner of Su Xiaopei's eyes, he saw a pair of dark blue coarse cloth shoes, with light gray trouser legs on top of the shoes, and the hem of a light blue men's robe on the top.These seem a little familiar.She raised her head suddenly, and in front of her was Ran Feize's upright and kind face.

He's back, actually back? !
"Strong man." Su Xiaopei didn't care about 21, and rushed to say: "Strong man, I'm lost, I don't remember anything, my leg hurts, I have no money, no relatives, no one knows, never I have never been here before, I have no place to stay, I have no one to rely on, I am lonely..."

Just as Ran Feize was about to open his mouth, he was choked by her long series of words, coughed a few times, wanted to laugh but thought it was too inappropriate.But shouldn't these pitiful and sympathetic words be said in a soft and sad tone?She jumped out so rigidly and quickly, it was really funny.

Su Xiaopei's words were interrupted by his cough, in fact, she couldn't make up any more words.Being weak and pitiful is indeed not her strong point. Looking at Ran Feize's expression, she also knows that she can't go on this route.

She cleared her throat, thought about it and said again: "If the strong man leaves me alone, I will only die."

Ran Feize straightened his face and nodded: "I don't intend to leave the girl behind, I just saw trouble, so I'll stay away for a while."

Su Xiaopei nodded, expressing his understanding, but couldn't help asking: "Love debt?" He had to find out what the person's condition was before he could judge whether he could rely on it temporarily.

It took Ran Feize a while to guess what he meant, and he coughed dryly again.Does this girl really know what she's talking about?A lonely woman will be criticized for saying such a thing. "Miss." Facing her innocent and clear eyes, he thought about how to explain this truth to her for a long time, but he couldn't find the right words, and finally said: "Miss, don't do this next time."

Su Xiaopei frowned, don't you mean which one is this - rely on him?Sitting on the street?play self pity?ask questions?Don't be so what?
Ran Feize also frowned at her serious face, did she know what he meant?
The two of them frowned, serious and serious.

At this time, two people ran by, shouting: "Go and see, if you catch that thief, you can get five taels of silver."

Silver reward?

Su Xiaopei regained his energy, followed the two of them with his eyes, and turned his head to ask Ran Feize: "Strong man, you don't have any money with you, so you can't take care of me, right?"

"That's true." So he was going to send her to a nunnery, but just as he was about to say it, Su Xiaopei cut him off: "If you have money, you can take care of me for a while, right?"

Ran Feize: "...."

This question asks people whether they should or should not or should not.Lack of money is really not a reason for not being able to take care of a woman, doesn't she understand this?The point is whether a man and a woman can get along with each other. He and her have never met each other in life, and they don't know each other. Is she really not afraid of relying on him?
Looking at Su Xiaopei's serious face, Ran Feize nodded.

Su Xiaopei continued to ask earnestly: "Strong man, do you know martial arts?"

"meeting."

"Ever caught a thief?"

"Caught it."

"How much is five taels of silver? I mean, how many steamed buns can I buy?"

Ran Feize: "...."
