Chapter 186 Strange Girl

Ma Xiaozhong was obedient, and as he spoke, he handed his master a full purse, which was full of small pieces of silver. He was afraid that the master would not have enough money because he didn't have anyone with him.

Balshan took it and carried it in his arms. Without any nonsense, he ran out with the horse under his belly. He didn't dare to ride any faster. The further he walked, the more homeless people there were on the street. All along the street were old people.

They pull little ones and follow people on carriages or horses to beg.

He came back at night last night, and in the dark, he didn't notice that the capital had changed so much. It no longer looked like the capital of a country. Both sides of the street were dirty, and the adults and children huddled on the street were covered in dust.

It flutters, and from a distance it doesn't look like a human being. It looks like a ball of rags that no one wants, which makes people feel extremely sad.

Balshan was originally a kind-hearted man, but he really couldn't see the longing look in the refugees' eyes when they looked at him, especially when he saw those little children, who were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and their eyes looked so big that they staggered around.

Not getting on his horse, he opened his little hands and begged.

"Sir, please have mercy on me,,,,,,,"

Balshan felt sour. He immediately got off his horse and snored. He put down the child's messy hair and said "wait." He led the horse and walked quickly to the nearest sesame cake shop, bought a dozen sesame cakes and distributed them to the few.

child.

With this act of kindness, several children not far away also wanted to come over. Balshan waved to the children and asked them to come together.

This action made several young and strong beggars on the street corner have green eyes. However, seeing that Balshan was strong, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, he looked like a practitioner. They did not dare to provoke him rashly.

, he could only look straight at the hot biscuits in the hands of those children, not knowing what they were planning.

How could Balshan not know what those people were coveting, so he didn't give the children more food? One sesame seed cake per person was enough, and even if he gave more, he couldn't protect the children.

Now Balshan was not in a hurry to do anything. He just squatted aside and watched the children eating sesame cakes. Seeing that the children were all devouring them, as if they hadn't eaten for days and nights, he couldn't help but ask.

When Balshan heard what the little girl said, there was no reason not to save him. He gave another two taels of silver to the shopkeeper and asked someone to take care of the children. He immediately got on the horse with the little girl in his arms and asked someone to lead him to find the children.

I went to my sister.

"My sister is about to die of illness. Please ask my benefactor to save my sister. The third sister is willing to work as a cow or horse for my benefactor..."

Balshan nodded silently. Even without asking, he could have guessed that some places were so miserable that they were almost ready to lose their children. It was not surprising that these children were being exploited and exploited.

"The people who give porridge don't just give alms, regardless of men, women, old or young. Every day, each person only needs a note to receive food. A bowl of porridge in the morning and two buns in the evening. People in the government don't watch people eating next to each other.

, these children were able to receive their share, but how could they protect them and let others rob them."

She was so hungry that she forgot about her little sister when she saw the sesame cakes. She was half full before she remembered that her little sister was still sick and couldn't even speak this morning.

The children were only focused on eating and did not bother to answer Balshan's questions. The store owner was also kind-hearted and answered the questions helpfully.

Thinking that she heard the footsteps, the girl turned around and shouted to him: "Mianmian, has the doctor invited you? Why,,,,,"

The third sister burst into tears. This was the first time she had met such a good person since she fled with her family. Her parents died of illness one after another on the way to the capital, the eldest sister was sold, and her brother was separated.

She and her second sister were the only ones left. The younger sister came over with the large army, but the younger sister seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.

"Isn't the imperial court giving out porridge every day? I heard that they have set up a shed on the outskirts of Beijing. Why don't you go there? You can at least have enough food and a shelter from the wind and rain."

The child shook his head and cried. It took a lot of effort for him to swallow the food in his mouth. He pulled Balshan's arm and made a sound. However, he opened his mouth like this and listened to the thin and soft voice. Balshan knew that

This is a little girl.

After seeing the person at the door clearly, the girl paused, her big deer-like eyes suddenly filled with alertness: "Who are you?"

I don’t know how far the child went to beg. He rode a horse in many twists and turns for three or two quarters of an hour before he found a shabby place. It must have been an unwanted house. There was no door, and the yard was overgrown with weeds.

, there are three low houses upon entering, all of which are filled with very small children huddled together.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. The imperial court has given out porridge and built sheds, but it can't handle the large number of people. When there are more people, there will be chaos. What can't people do if they don't have enough to eat? Some people rely on

Even though he is strong, he will not listen to the court and go to the outskirts of Beijing to cultivate land, but he will bully children and women."

"Good boy, why are you crying? But what's wrong with you?" Balshan didn't think the child was dirty, so he held the child in his arms, wiped the child's tears with his hands, and wiped a stream of tears on his face.

The black mark looks even more pitiful.

"If they stay in the suburbs of Beijing, they will really starve to death. They will have no choice but to beg in the streets and alleys. The neighbors are all doing small business, and there is only a limited amount of help they can do. Only when you meet a good person like you can

Have a full meal.”

Balshan asked carefully. Seeing that several children were eating in a hurry, for fear that they would choke, he also called out to the sesame cake shop and asked the shopkeeper for a few bowls of hot tea, because Balshan gave enough money.

, the store didn’t have it, so he immediately brought a pot of hot noodle soup, and he couldn’t help but sigh when he looked at these familiar children.

Following the third sister to the smallest room, Barshan paused and saw that there was actually a decent person inside. It was Gege wearing a lilac flag skirt. Because her back was turned to him, she couldn't see him for a while.

Even though he is young, I just looked at the person squatting in a small ball on the ground. I guess he is not very old.

Just as he was talking, a child started to cry while eating in front of him. The child was not just crying loudly, he was still holding half of the sesame seed cake in his mouth, and the tears were falling down, which was really heartbreaking.

Awesome.

Somehow, facing those big eyes, Balshan could only feel his breathing stagnant and his heartbeat also erratic for a moment.

The sunshine was very good today, and a few rays of warm sunlight slanted through the broken window and shone on the girl. She was so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her. Balshan was in a daze for a moment, and he didn't know how to speak, and he was even more afraid of collision.

Seeing this girl, he hurriedly took half a step back, pointed at the third sister beside him and stammered.

"I, I'm here to save the third sister's sister. I don't mean any harm. Who is the girl?"

Seeing Balshan's clear eyes and stammering that made people feel a little silly, the girl relaxed her vigilance and stood up with the child in her arms.
