Chapter 450

In the dim light, a man came in. At first, ye Xiaoxian didn't recognize him.

The man was haggard and very haggard. His hair had not been washed and combed for a long time. He was so casually draped over his shoulder, like a beggar on the side of the road.

Seeing this, Xiaobai subconsciously blocked it because he was worried about what dangerous actions the man would make.

But he recognized Ye Xiaoxian and called out weakly, "Ye, and... Aunt Li, you... You're back?"

Li Hongmei recognized it first. Li Hongmei asked, "are you wang Xiucai?"

Ye Xiaoxian saw clearly that it was really Wang Xiucai.

But this Wang Xiucai in front of us is far from that Wang Xiucai in those days. The Wang Xiucai in those years looked gentle and taught the children's homework in a private school. His whole body was neat and clean. How did he become like this now?

When Wang Xiucai saw Ye Xiaoxian, he smiled again. There was timidity in his smile.

The innkeeper on one side said, "there is no scholar now. This man is a psycho. He has lost all his good property. Now there is only a small hut left. He likes to beg in the street."

When the shopkeeper finished, Wang Xiucai smiled again, and then stopped talking.

Li Hongmei had a bad impression of Wang Xiucai because of Xiao Baozhu. She felt disgusted when she met Wang Xiucai. She stopped in front of Ye Xiaoxian and asked, "since you recognize us, you have something to say, fart. You're here all day. Hey, hey, what, hey, hey?"

After a while, Wang Xiucai asked, "where's the... Pearl?"

"Baozhu? Don't worry about it. She married a minister in the capital and gave birth to a son. She's doing well. Fortunately, you didn't like her and finally let her die. Otherwise, she's still living a hard life with you." Li Hongmei cold tunnel.

After listening, Wang Xiucai murmured, "that's good, that's good."

Then he turned and went out.

Ye Xiaoxian came to the ground and stopped him, Then he said, "Wang Xiucai, we all know the changes in your family. Your wife and children are gone, and Baozhu is gone. Now you are the only one left. Since you were so heartless to Baozhu, it means that you are also a cruel person. In that case, you should be more cruel to yourself and live a good life. You have hands and feet and are young. You shouldn't live like this!"

Wang Xiucai looked up, gave Ye Xiaoxian a faint look, then smiled, and then silently left the inn.

Ye Xiaoxian won't stop him this time. Anyway, she said everything she should say. As for how to go, it's his own business.

……

After staying in Qinghe County for a few days, they went to the next small county: Hexin county.

Hexin county is the most marginal county. When Hong Yanguo came, Hexin county was the first to suffer.

I don't know if Hexin County suffered first, so the closer it is to the county, the more sparsely populated it is.

Even when they entered the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were lazy.

They seemed too lazy to lift their heads when they saw a carriage coming.

The officers and soldiers asked, "where did you come from?"

Xiaobai: "Jiangnan area."

"Where is Jiangnan?"

"Zhengwu."

"What are you doing in Hexin county?"

"Visiting relatives."

"..." after questioning a lot and examining the ultimatum, they let them into the city.

The city is also dilapidated. Although many places have been repaired, the scenery inside looks very decadent. On the way, I met many ordinary people, but their faces are like bitter hatred, and their eyes are at a loss, so people can't see hope.

Ye Xiaoxian felt that whether there was hope in a place was to see whether the people could live and work in peace and contentment. However, when she came to Hexin County, she seemed to see the original Mobei county.

The people on the roadside looked curious and timid when they saw a carriage coming. They hurriedly avoided it, as if they would suffer some natural disaster if they didn't avoid it.

They slowed down, and then Xiaobai rode to the city to find an inn.

After a while, Xiaobai came back and said that the Best Inn here was called "Qin family inn". The people in the city introduced them to live here, and there was a vacant room there.

The party drove the carriage to the Qin family inn.

The shopkeeper of the Qin family inn, surnamed Qin, is a middle-aged man. Shopkeeper Qin was very enthusiastic when he saw that they came by carriage. He also asked them where they came from and what they could do in Hexin county.

Xiaobaoshan, they still follow the saying of entering the city, only saying that they came to visit their relatives from other places.

Because he felt something was wrong in the city, he didn't inquire about the situation in the city, but let everyone stay first.

It was late, and they didn't go anywhere else to find food. After putting their luggage away, they had dinner in the lobby of the inn.

Few people eat in the inn, only Xiao Baoshan and others are eating.

The food was average. The two children were not interested after eating for a while. They needed Ye Xiaoxian to coax them, otherwise they would be hungry at night.

However, ye Xiaoxian is not used to eating these meals. The beef is like boiled in white water, sprinkled with a little scallion, the tofu is badly cooked, sprinkled with a little scallion and fish. It's fried fast and sprinkled with a little scallion.

After a while, the waiter served the last dish: white gourd bone soup.

It seems that the white gourd bone soup is also boiled in white water, sprinkled with a little scallion.

Li Hongmei couldn't help asking, "waiter, the soul of your family is scallion? Why sprinkle a little scallion on everything?"

The waiter seemed to be indifferent: "these are the dishes in our shop. Do you like them or not?"

"..." Li Hongmei has been in the capital for a long time and has long been used to the respect of people in the capital. Even the second grade minister wants to say "old lady Xiao" when he sees her. Where can she stand such anger?

She couldn't help saying, "the food you cooked is so awful. We just mentioned that you still have reason?"

Over there, when shopkeeper Qin saw it, he couldn't help coming over with a smiling face: "my guests, are we not well received?"

Li Hongmei said, "the food in your inn is terrible. Isn't it that the cook didn't invite well? Can you eat these dishes?"

Shopkeeper Qin still put on a smiling face: "sorry, the cook of our shop went back to the countryside today, so today's food is a little worse. If there is any neglect, please forgive me. It's too late to change the dishes today. Another day, ha ha ha."

Li Hongmei wanted to say something else, but ye Xiaoxian kicked her foot under the table. Li Hongmei realized that ye Xiaoxian told her to shut up and didn't go on.
