Chapter 24: Floating life is only the former elder, full of blood Chang'an Road 3
"Eh???"
A Qiao looked at the things he threw over and was confused.
The day before yesterday, I stole the clothes from somewhere. Yesterday it was a wild flower. Today, I actually brought back a crying child. What on earth is he going to do?
I have seen the child, Aqiao. Aunt Huang, the head of the village, just hugged her grandson last year. She named her Xiaobao. She is the treasure in the palm of the whole family. She is also lively and cute. When A Qiao went to send Aunt Huang the soles of her shoes, she hugged him.
Xiaobao fell on her and didn't look at people. He just cried so much that his eyes couldn't open and his saliva flowed straight.
"Little baby, don't cry, don't cry, sister hugs and don't cry." Aqiao had no choice but to pick him up and coax him. Fortunately, Xiaobao still remembers her. His little hand held her shoulder and cried louder.
The monster stood at the mouth of the cave. There was no expression on his seriously deformed face, but his eyes kept falling on the big and small body in the hole.
"Dong." Suddenly, another thing was thrown over. A Qiao looked down and saw that it was a small tambourine, which was used by the villagers to suppress evil spirits near the end of the year. It looked very new, and he didn't know who he snatched it from.
"Give it to me?" Aqiao just asked casually, because such a toy seems to be for children, and she is already a big girl. Unexpectedly, the monster nodded, and she was shocked: "You, can you understand what I'm saying?" You...you are a human, what else?"
The monster nodded, but Aqiao couldn't tell what he meant, so he had to ask, "Are you a human?" The monster nodded very hard.
It turned out that he was a human being. Ah Qiao finally felt more relieved. Since he is a human being, he should have wisdom and can't do what he shouldn't do. So she asked again, "Then can you talk?" The monster shook its head this time. It's strange that I can't hear or speak.
In this way of nodding and shaking his head, A Qiao finally understood some of his situation. He is not a monster, he is a human, and he used to be a person in the village. He became like this because he was sick. Because the village is not big, and there are only four surnames: Huang, Luo, Zhao and Liang. Aqiao also learned that he and he were his own family.
"But why can't you talk?" What Aqiao doesn't understand is this. If he can't speak, it means that he can't ask more things by himself.
The monster approached her. Xiaobao just cried too tired and fell asleep at this time, but he was not scared by him. The monster bent down to show Aqiao his face.
That face was really scary. Large pieces of land were swollen, and there was only a small slit in his eyes, but A Qiao felt that his eyes were very gentle and not terrible at all. Like his eyes, his mouth is distorted by the deformation of his face, which is probably why he can't speak.
"Why did you catch us?" Ah Qiao said to herself that she knew that the monster could not answer her.
The monster really couldn't speak, but he picked up the little tambourine and knocked it with his thick fingers, and then pointed to Aqiao and pointed to himself.
"What?" One side of the drum and two people, ah, not three people, what can this constitute?
Seeing that A Qiao didn't understand, the monster stretched out his hand and clumsily patted Xiaobao on the back. The force was not enough to wake up the child.
A flash of inspiration flashed, and A Qiao seemed to understand what he meant.
He took himself back and locked himself in the cave, brought back a child, gave himself clothes and flowers, and gave himself a toy toy to tease the child... Does he think this is a home?
"Do you want home?" A Qiao asked tentatively.
The monster calmed down and lowered his head instead of nodding. This is the emotional expression of talent, mixed with shyness, inferiority, and anxiety. Ah Qiao felt that he could see something from his terrible face.
One lost his home because of illness. Looking at the family in the village, which was composed of husband, wife and children, he had the idea of robbing, and the tambourine was probably recognized by him as a necessary thing for a family.
A Qiao's heart softened. She sympathized with him from the bottom of her heart, but if she wanted to marry such a monster, not to mention that she would feel afraid from time to time, even if she agreed, her parents and villagers would not allow it.
"Send Xiaobao back. He is so young that he will be afraid to see you. I'll stay with you alone, okay?"
The monster shook his head, put the little tambourine on her knee, turned around and came out of the cave.
The bonfire at the mouth of the cave has never been extinguished. Ah Qiao did not dare to escape rashly. Now he is even more afraid to act rashly with Xiaobao in his arms, so he has to wait in the cave.
After losing myself for so few days, my parents must be very anxious. Now Xiaobao is also missing. The people in the village will definitely look for them all over the mountain. If only they could find here...

As soon as the three of them walked out of the restaurant after lunch, they saw Leqi also coming out of a pawnshop. They saw them from afar and nodded with a smile. Si Si snorted coldly, turned his head and left, leaving two big men who could not be as petty as her, laughing and waiting where they were.
"Have you two just had lunch?" Le Qi greeted me politely.
Wei Tanyi answered the question: "If Elder Le follows His Royal Highness, he can also lack money to enter the pawnshop."
Le Qi was scoffed by him, and his face was a little embarrassed: "There are always times when people are in urgent need of money. I'm just a diner under the prince's door, and I can't always bother the prince in case of trouble."
"Is that right?" Hu Qiu wrapped it up, and Wei Tanyi narrowed his eyes, "Can Elder Le raise his hands above his head?"
Both of them were puzzled by this question. Although Han Ruxu knew that he would definitely not be aimless, he also didn't understand what he could do if he raised his arm. He looked at Leqi's face puzzled, raised his hand and looked left and right.
At this moment, several government official of Dali Temple came looking around. As soon as they saw Han Ruxu, they immediately shouted, "Lord Han, something has happened. Lord Ming is looking for you everywhere!"
"Looking for me? What's going on?" When the official business was important, Han Ruxu hurried to greet him.
"I heard that something happened to His Royal Highness the Prince. Lord Ming and several Lord Shangshu are in the East Palace. You'd better go and have a look!" A governmentman said in a low voice.
Han Ruqi was shocked. Could it be that the New Year Beast Rebellion last night had something to do with the prince? No, the prince's soul has been in this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties for hundreds of years. He has long been used to fighting for power and profit. His eyes are like a torch. It is impossible to get into trouble if he has nothing to do. Taking a step back, he is indeed what he did, and he should never leave evidence to be caught.
Intentionally, he turned his head and found that the fox in human skin hung an intriguing smile on the corners of his mouth. Could it be that he is playing tricks again... "I'm going to the palace now. You guys, take him back to the store to watch. Don't let him take the opportunity to play tricks."
Wei Tanyi pretended to be surprised: "Lord Han is such a great official. He just finished my meal and turned around and didn't recognize anyone."
"You don't talk much! Don't step out of the store until I come back!"
"I know, I know," he looked used to it, and suddenly turned to Le. "Why don't Elder Le accompany me to the store to chat? Lord Han didn't say that he was not allowed to take people back. Le Qi didn't know what he had thought, but he actually agreed.
Watching the government messengers escort the two to Yongningfang, Han Ruxu hurried to the East Palace.
