Chapter 054 The little beggar is gone

After the meal, Chen Wan thought that the little beggar had not eaten yet, so she packed some food. After packing the food, she did not stay in Zhaixing Tower, and the group left Zhaixing Tower. After leaving Zhaixing Tower, Chen Wan saw that they had not paid the money, so she asked, "Don't we have to pay the money?"

Qi Yan walked in front and heard her ask, and turned around and smiled, "Where do you have to pay for money when you have a meal in your own restaurant?"

"You opened this restaurant?" Chen Wan looked at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan shook his fingers to Chen Wan and said, "Of course it's not me, it's Prince Murong's."

"Oh" Chen Wan nodded and glanced at Murong Li. Maybe they still have a chance to cooperate in the future!

Murong Li looked at Chen Wan and smiled and said, "If Mrs. Song wants to come to the building for dinner, just come."

This Zhaixing Tower is his property in front of him and can also be regarded as his mother's dowry. When he grew up, he took over the Zhaixing Tower.

"Is it free?" Chen Wan asked.

Murong Li nodded and said, "Of course it's free."

He asked Mu Qing to say hello to the shopkeeper later. From now on, Mrs. Song went to the building for dinner, not only did she have to be a good hospitality but also could not collect cash.

Chen Wan smiled half-jokingly, "Then I will have to come here often in the future."

Zhaixing Tower was very close to Jishi Hall, and it was just a few steps away. The group returned to Jishi Hall, but saw the little medicine Tong Kongqing walking around the shop like an ant on a hot pan.

"What happened?" Qi Yan asked.

Seeing that they were back, Kong Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously and blamed himself: "The little fairy boy is gone."

Chen Wan frowned and asked, "It's gone? Why didn't it happen?"

When she left, the child was still asleep in the small bed! How could it be gone?

Kong Qing said, "I kept guarding him after you left, and he woke up soon. I brought the decocted medicine to feed him. He felt that the medicine was bitter and refused to drink it. He said he wanted to eat candied fruit, so I went to the backyard to find him candied fruit. He didn't know that after I found the candied fruit, he disappeared, leaving only an empty medicine bowl. I searched nearby, but couldn't find it."

"He was still injured and hot! He left like this. If something unexpected happened, what should I do." Qiuju was very worried, "No, I have to go and search."

Qi Yan thought for a while and said, "Since he chose to leave quietly, he doesn't want you to find him. He should have a family member, maybe he has returned to his family at this moment!"

If he was alone on the street and met a kind-hearted person, he would naturally hope that the kind-hearted person would take him in, and would not say that he would not leave quietly.

Murong Li also nodded and said, "I think Brother Qi is right. The child should have returned to his family."

Hearing Murong Li and Qi Yan say this, Qiu Ju gave up the idea of ​​going out to find the child, but she still couldn't feel at ease.

After sitting in Jishitang for a while, Chen Wan took Qiuju away from Jishitang. They walked around the street and saw a small stall selling clay pots and pottery pots. When they asked, the vendor's house had a small kiln that could fire clay pots and pottery. Chen Wan took the drawings of the kimchi jar that had been drawn for him and asked him to cook it. After the vendor looked carefully, he said it could be cooked. Chen Wan gave him some silver money as a deposit and asked him to make two jars. After the jars were made, they would be sent directly to the back door of General Zhenbei's Mansion, and then the remaining money would be paid.

The vendor agreed readily and said that he would do it as soon as possible to send it to him. The matter of kimchi jar had been resolved, so Chen Wan and Qiu Ju returned to the general's mansion.

A ruined temple outside the city

A small figure, holding a bag of oil paper in his arms, ran into the ruined temple. Because the clothes he was wearing were not suitable, as soon as he ran into the ruined temple, he was crushed and fell down by his hem.

"It hurts so much..." The child pursed his mouth and wanted to cry, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he sniffed and got up from the ground.

He walked through the weedy yard with a bag of oil and paper and walked into the main hall with the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue was like this yard, very dilapidated. The paint on the Buddha statue had fallen off and half of his hand was broken.

Under the Buddha's niche was a man in black clothes. He looked haggard and pale. Although his clothes were not torn, they were a little dirty. He sat leaning against the Buddha's niche, frowned and closed his eyes.

"Weijiang, I'm back, I'm back with food." The child's voice was filled with joy.

The man in black clothes, who was called Wei Jiang, had his eyelids moving and his eyes slowly opened. Seeing that the clothes the child was wearing were not the one he had worn in the morning, he realized that something must have happened, so he asked in a hoarse and weak voice: "What happened to the little boy today?"

The child nodded, walked to him and sat down against him.

"I met a bad guy who beat me, but a kind-hearted person saved me, and the bad guy even paid me money!" The child smiled and said, "Weijiang, we have money, two hundred taels!" The child looked out the silver notes in his arms as if he offered treasures to Weijiang to show them.

After he ran out of the pharmacy, he found that he had a silver note of 200 taels of silver in his arms. The silver note must have been put into his clothes by the kind-hearted man.

This child was the little beggar who was rescued by Chen Wan in the city. His name was Chu Ling. At this moment, his little face, which had been wiped clean, was covered with mud. After leaving the medicine shop, he wiped the soil on his face.
