Chapter 314 Little Beggar
Chapter 314 Little Beggar
Seeing Mr. Huang, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan did not feel embarrassed, but the other party's expression was a little awkward.
As for Xia Mo who didn't want to marry his own brother, Mr. Huang was both annoyed and grateful to him after seeing his brother's long-lost smile.
He was annoyed that Xia Mo's standards were too high and he looked down on his Lian Ge'er, but he was also grateful for their rejection, which allowed Lian Ge'er to meet someone more suitable.
As soon as Mr. Huang came over, the atmosphere became a bit awkward and weird. Xuan Yu'an also noticed this. After saying "OK", he immediately smiled apologetically to Xia Mo and Ling Chuan.
"Mr. Ling, Mr. Ling, please feel free to do as you please. My father-in-law and I will greet the elders first."
Xia Mo nodded, "Okay, Mr. Xuan, you are busy, my husband and I will go sit over there."
So Xuan Yu'an left with Mr. Huang.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan walked to the banquet and sat down in a corner.
When they left Huang's house again, night had fallen and the lights were on.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two were not in a hurry to return to the inn, but went shopping at the night market.
The bustling street market is different. The streets are filled with a wide variety of goods and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder. It is much more lively than Qinghe County.
Especially since there is a river running through here, so in addition to the hustle and bustle on both sides, there are also colorful lantern boats cruising the lake.
Beauties on the boat sang and danced, performing elaborately, or young men and scholars stood at the bow, reciting poems and composing essays while enjoying the scenery.
Looking at everything around him, Xia Mo was dazzled and very happy.
“The scenery here is really nice.”
"Do you want to go boating on the lake?" Ling Chuan asked when he saw the boy staring at the flower boat in the lake.
"Go boating? Is that okay?" Xia Mo's eyes lit up and he looked up at him.
Ling Chuan: "Of course, follow me."
"Okay! Let's go!" Xia Mo automatically held the man's hand and asked him to go quickly.
Ling Chuan looked at his small body, his thin lips curled slightly, "Slow down, the boat won't run."
"It's true that it won't run away, but it will be gone." Xia Mo said without turning his head.
Ling Chuan smiled, took big steps, and caught up with the jogging boy.
Finally, the two successfully rented a flower boat.
After they got on the boat, the boatman started rowing.
As a qualified boatman, he always kept his head down and worked, paying no attention to what was happening on the boat, but this time he actually broke his principles.
Because he accidentally saw the tall and strong guest pressing the thin guest and kissing him!
Originally he thought this was a homosexual couple, but it turned out that the guest who was being kissed actually called the other person "husband"!
The boatman was surprised. He had never seen such a ferocious guy before, so he couldn't help but secretly looked back a few times...
Seeing the boatman's shocked expression, Xia Mo laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Ling Chuan was helpless about this and was too lazy to correct the boatman who had misunderstood.
After having enough fun, the two went home.
Xia Mo was smiling all the way. Today could be said to be a very fulfilling and eventful day for them.
But Xia Mo didn't expect that on their way back to the inn, when they passed through a sparsely populated street, an old beggar suddenly rushed out holding a baby and begged them for money.
Xia Mo didn't want to pay attention to this and pulled Ling Chuan to the side.
However, the old beggar saw that even if he said such pitiful words, he could not move the other party, so he sat down on the ground and began to beat his chest and kick his legs and howl:
"Oh, my poor grandson, why is your life so miserable? It's because your grandfather is useless. If you die too, what's the point of me, an old man, living like this? Woo woo..."
Xia Mo paused, looked down at the old beggar, then shifted his gaze to the little beggar curled up at his feet, frowned slightly and said, "He is your grandson?"
"Yes, my poor grandson is about to die of illness. Please have pity on me. If you don't give him medicine, he may not survive tonight." The old beggar cried.
"No, it's not..."
A very subtle sound came from under the little beggar. The old beggar's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes when he looked at the little beggar, but it quickly disappeared.
Xia Mo's eyes narrowed, and then he took out the money and gave it to him, "Go quickly."
The old beggar took the handful and put it in his pocket, then picked up the little beggar and kowtowed to Xia Mo and Ling Chuan, muttering, "Thank you very much, both of you benefactors. Oh, it looks like it's all burned. I'll take him to get some medicine now."
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were both martial artists, so they were naturally more perceptive than ordinary people. They heard what the little beggar said, but they did not intend to show it.
"Stop kneeling, go pick some medicine for him." Xia Mo said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, I'll go right away." The old beggar got up, picked up the little beggar and ran away.
After he ran away, Xia Mo said, "Brother Chuan, let's go and take a look."
"Yeah." Ling Chuan responded.
"Hehehe, I made another fortune." It was the voice of the old beggar, "Bah, if it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't hug you, a disaster star."
"oh I got it."
"If you know, you will know..."
The old beggar turned around stiffly and was immediately startled by Xia Mo and Ling Chuan who were standing behind him. He screamed.
"Ah! You you you..."
"You shit!" Xia Mo raised his hand and punched him hard in the face.
The old beggar's facial features were distorted with pain and he tried to cover his face which was bleeding from his nose.
But Xia Mo still felt unsatisfied, so he kicked him again and sent him flying.
"Master, please spare my life! I, I won't dare to do it again! I'm going to return the money to you!" When the old beggar saw Xia Mo coming over, he endured the pain and took out the purse, not caring about the original share inside.
Xia Mo glanced at the money bag on the ground and sneered, "Is he your grandson?"
"No! He was just a little beggar that no one wanted! He was a disaster!" The old beggar regretted it very much. He shouldn't have had any contact with that disaster!
Xia Mo looked at him coldly, then bent down to pick up the purse and walked towards the little beggar.
The little beggar was a tiny ball, and looked no more than four or five years old. Xia Mo and Ling Chuan looked at each other, then squatted down and turned the man over.
The little beggar was unkempt and his face was dirty, so his original appearance could not be seen. He half-closed his eyes, which were gray and without a trace of light.
"Let's take him back first." Xia Mo said.
Lingchuan agreed.
Back at the inn, Ling Chuan carried the child upstairs, while Xia Mo asked the waiter for hot water.
When Xia Mo rolled up his sleeves to help the child bathe, Ling Chuan said, "I'll help him bathe, you go get some clothes."
"Okay." Xia Mo didn't compete with the man.
After being scrubbed clean, the child's facial features were revealed.
The eye sockets on his skinny face were deep, but because he had thick eyebrows, naturally heterochromatic eyes, and a high nose bridge, his facial features appeared close-knit and deep.
Judging from his appearance, he is a very handsome child, but unfortunately his beauty is ruined by a scar.
The centipede-like scar spread from the eyebrow of his left eye to his cheek, which was very hideous. If it was any deeper, the child's eye would probably be ruined.
Even an adult like Xia Mo felt pain just watching this, let alone a child.
"Alas, what a poor child." Xia Mo said.
The person has been rescued now, but Xia Mo has not yet figured out how to place the child.
