Chapter 268 Gu
Sheng Yunting looked at her gaze in confusion, but unexpectedly saw a ragged little girl with a slim face and a thin and thin face squatting alone in the corner, with a small bowl in front of her, as if she was begging along the street.
Those small dull eyes were filled with panic and fear of the world, and there was no warmth at all.
"Beggar?" Sheng Yunting was stunned.
"By the way, I heard from my second brother that it was said that another famine broke out in the northwest a while ago, and many people starved to death. Many victims escaped here, and even the officers and soldiers could not stop them..."
No wonder I often see beggars begging when I walk on the street these days, which is more than before. I guess they are these victims.
"So she is sympathizing with this poor little girl?"
Sheng Yunting's heart moved slightly, took the initiative to hold her hand and smiled: "Let's go!"
Zhu Huanyun was slightly stunned, and then he saw him leading him towards the beggar girl, subconsciously pursing his lips, but he had no intention of breaking free.
Walking quickly to the little beggar, Sheng Yunting squatted down slightly and tried to act gentler, so that he would not scare the other party: "Little girl, are you the only one? Where are your parents?"
If she could find her parents, perhaps this child could survive safely, otherwise the world would be very difficult.
However, the response he received was the only response in front of him that the little girl shook her head in horror, looked at him with wide eyes wide open, but her mouth was a bit dumb and said some strange tone, which I couldn't quite understand.
It doesn't seem to be local official language.
Sheng Yunting was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to slowly reach out his hand, he suddenly reached out to stop him.
"etc."
"What's wrong?" Sheng Yunting raised his head and looked at Zhu Huanyun beside him in confusion, but unexpectedly saw that her face was a little heavy, as if she was worried, and the look at the girl was a bit complicated.
"She is a child from Miaojiang, be careful." She said softly, her eyes slightly solemn, "The characteristics of her clothing and what she said just now are all from Miaojiang..."
"Miaojiang?" Sheng Yunting was stunned, "What's wrong with Miaojiang?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhu Huanyun looked at him with some surprise, "The people on their side have been studying poison for generations. If you don't pay attention, even if you just touch it lightly or even look at each other, you may put a Gu on your body. Life is worse than death, and you will be plagued by all kinds of diseases. Aren't you afraid?"
Her voice became more and more excited, which was so abnormal that the slow Sheng Yunting noticed it. He looked at the uncomfortable look of her biting the corner of her lips, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "A real man has something to do and doesn't do anything, just a child, let alone I'm doing good deeds and helping her, why are you afraid that she will harm me?"
"If you are afraid of anything, you can't even meet someone. You might as well go home and hide your head and turtle."
"You..." Zhu Huanyun stared at him blankly.
"Okay, let's not talk about those who have nothing. Can you understand what this child said?" Sheng Yunting asked suddenly.
"I... learned a little." She nodded slowly, stared at him and said softly, "She said her parents were dead on the road, and she was the only one left..."
"So that's it..." Sheng Yunting's face was soft, and he carefully reached out and stroked the hair of the somewhat panicked girl. To be honest, such boring and grass-rooted hair was not smooth at all, but he also comforted the girl's uneasy heart a little, "Can you tell her that I'll take her to have something delicious and let her follow me?"
"Can."
Zhu Huanyun also squatted down together, looking at the pale-faced girl with a slightly complicated mood, and a little pity appeared in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, hesitated and gently conveyed her meaning to her in a language that Sheng Yunting couldn't understand.
This language sounds a bit strange, but Sheng Yunting did see the girl's face after hearing what she said, and she couldn't help but look surprised. It seemed that she really understood it.
This saves a lot of trouble.
He breathed a little relieved and continued to reach out and look at the girl as gently as possible to let her hold her hand.
The girl seemed to be a little uneasy, not sure whether she should follow the stranger. After hesitating for a while, she looked up at the sister next to her who could speak her language. Seeing that her eyes were a little encouraged, she cowardly stretched out her trembling little hand and carefully held his hand.
From the curling of her fingertips, you can also feel the fear in her heart.
"Let's go, take you to have something delicious!"
Sheng Yunting's smile bloomed again, gently holding her skinny hand, and found a place with Zhu Huanyun to take her to have a good meal.
After walking for a while, I was worried that the girl would not be able to bear it, so I picked up a restaurant nearby and went in.
The waiter in charge of the reception saw the girl's smelly look like a beggar and wanted to drive her out with some disgust, but when she saw that the third young master of the Sheng family brought her in, she quickly closed her mouth and showed a respectful smile to go to the hospitality.
Not to mention anything else, Mr. Sheng likes to cause trouble for his restaurants when he is fine, and he also wants to buy livestock and release animals. But even if he is a bit of a living, he can't offend him. He can only swallow his sufferings.
Now Mr. Sheng seems to be just here to have a meal, so he can follow him so that he will not make things unhappy and cause trouble again...
Sheng Yunting did not have any other intention to cause trouble. After learning that someone had occupied the private room above, he sat in the lobby and ordered a few side dishes, so it would not be too greasy, which should be in line with the girl's appetite.
After waiting for a while, the girl looked at the delicious dishes in front of her that she hadn't tasted for a long time and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, but she didn't dare to move her chopsticks directly. It was not until the sister next to her smile that she could eat that she carefully tickled two bites of the rice, but she also chewed it in small mouthfuls, for fear that someone would misunderstand her and be greedy...
"This is a well-behaved child." Sheng Yunting nodded slightly when he saw this, feeling a little satisfied. Some thoughts arose in his mind. If this girl is really homeless, then at such a young age, she might not live long in the world. If she meets a bad person, she is more likely to be abducted and sold to a brothel, which is really inappropriate.
Since he happened to meet him, he could make the decision to let her enter the Sheng family and be a little maid. Although he would suffer a little, it was much better than wandering outside.
Thinking of this, he told Zhu Huanyun what he thought. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and smiled, "You can decide. I can ask this girl. If she wants, it will be a good luck for a person like her who is so miserable."
It is not easy to be a maid in a wealthy family like this. If Sheng Yunting takes care of her, she can live a better life.
