The tyrant is also waiting for me to feed today

Chapter 21

Hibiscus stopped the boy from waving him away, "Wait a minute."

The servant looked at her in embarrassment, "Miss Mu, we don't have this rule here, if we let him in, it will disturb other guests."

"I know." Mu Jin took the child's hand, felt the thinness in his hand, and felt a little distressed. She said to the boy, "I'm not going to take him in."

Hibiscus squatted down in front of the child, looked at the child at the same level, looked at his face, and said softly, "Wait for me here now, okay?"

The child tilted his head and looked at her for a while, with surprise in his eyes, he nodded slowly.

Mu Jin went back to the store and asked for a few spring wishful rolls and green carp white crystal tea. When paying, shopkeeper Zhou refused to accept it.

Mu Jin took these things and walked outside the store. The child was still standing there, looking into the store. Seeing Mu Jin coming out, his eyes flashed. This is our snack and dessert here, try it."

The child was holding the hard paper that wrapped the food, and the strong memory of the food inside had rushed straight to the tip of his nose, and the child's stomach that hadn't eaten well for several days was already protesting.

Hibiscus saw that the child was going to eat with his hands, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the child's hand, but the hand was too dirty, the dust and mud on it were all crusted, and the nails were all black.Hibiscus asked the child to wait a little longer, and after entering the store, the kitchen wet the handkerchief with water, filled a bottle with water, and then came out to wash the child's hands clean.

"It's ready to eat now."

Mu Jin accompanied the child to sit on the steps next to the snack hall. The child took out a spring wish roll with his hand, looked at Mu Jin, and Mu Jin looked at him with a smile. Then he bit his mouth lightly. Almost instantly, the child's eyes couldn't help but He narrowed his eyes, and didn't have time to take care of the debris on his mouth.

The outer layer of dough is thin and chewy, and the stuffing inside is rich and full. Once you take a bite, the crispy dough and the crispy and refreshing fillings fill your mouth. There is still that scent in it.

The child unconsciously speeds up the chewing speed, and after eating the food without knowing it, he still has something to say.

Seeing Mu Jin kept looking at him, the child clenched the empty cardboard in his hand, looked at Mu Jin and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Mu Jin heard that his voice sounded like a girl's, so she took a closer look at his face, but the child's appearance was not opened, and the voices of the little boy and the little girl were similar, so Mu Jin didn't Care about this again.

She took out a few taels of silver from her pocket, put them in the child's hands, and said softly, "Hold these coins carefully, and don't let anyone see them. You can go to the Shantang or Linfo Temple in the east of the town, where you can be taken in. Yinzi, don't let others know, just buy some delicious food yourself."

Seeing the child holding the silver tightly, Mu Jin patted the child on the shoulder, stood up and left.

Anyway, Xiaoshixuan also watched it today, and Mu Jin was fine. She was not in good health, and couldn't stand it after standing for a long time, so she hired a carriage and went back.

Hibiscus was a little tired, so she propped her head up in the carriage and planned to squint for a while.It was afternoon at this time, not when there was a lot of traffic, and the street outside was not too lively, but there were still a lot of hawkers and pedestrians' voices.

The spring sun cast some warm light from behind the shaking curtains, and Mu Jin was drowsy, as if she heard someone calling her. After she opened her eyes and regained her comprehension, she realized that it was the coachman outside.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

The coachman replied, "Miss, the kid behind us has been following us, but you know him?"

Mu Jin was surprised when she heard the words, opened the curtain and looked back, it was actually that child.

At this time, the child was running behind with bare feet, his head was already sweating profusely, his lips were white, and he looked a little exhausted. He looked quite pitiful.

Mu Jin hurriedly asked the driver to stop, went down and walked quickly to the child, reached out to catch the tottering child, and brushed the wet hair sticking to the child's face with a handkerchief, "Why did you follow?"

The child looked at her for a long time without saying anything, but tears were slowly soaking in those dark eyes.

Mu Jin hated this the most, so she quickly wiped away his tears, "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry..."

It was fine if she didn't coax, but after coaxing, the child's tears soon came out of his eyes, and he cried even more fiercely.

After Mu Jin coaxed the child for a long time, the child finally calmed down. He muttered a few words. Mu Jin leaned closer to listen, and finally heard clearly. He was saying: Can I follow you?
This can be regarded as a problem for Mu Jin. She asked about the establishment of a female household because of Gu Xian before, but she did not meet that condition and could not adopt a child at all.Moreover, even if you don't mention whether it is legal or not, raising a child is not a trivial matter.

Seeing Mu Jin's expression of embarrassment, the child's eyes darkened, and he only lowered his head and tightly clutched the corner of Mu Jin's clothes, "I know how to do things, I am very diligent, and I will never eat free rice..."

Seeing the child like this, Mu Jin felt very uncomfortable, and reached out to hold the child's hand, "Then you go back with me first, and the rest..."

"Let's talk about it later."

Mu Jin took the child back home in a carriage first. Hearing the sound of their return, Grandma Mu came up to meet her. Mu Jin mentioned the matter of the child to her. There is no objection to Hibiscus' approach.

Facing the dirty child, Mu Jin felt that the first thing to do was to wash him clean, so she poured water into it. Mu Jin tried the temperature of the water in the barrel and asked the child, "I haven't asked what your name is yet. ?”

The child said softly, "My name is... An An."

"An'an? Okay, An'an, let's take a bath." Mu Jin adjusted the water temperature and was about to undress the child. The child looked only eight or nine years old, and she didn't care about the difference between men and women.

After taking off the dirty and shabby clothes, Mu Jin realized that it was a girl. Mu Jin felt a little distressed by the bruises on her body, "Sister will give you some medicine after washing, after you finish it The medicine doesn't hurt anymore."

The child was really dirty, so Mu Jin washed her with clean water first, and then soaked her in the wooden barrel after her body got better. Seeing that the dirty child became so clean and cute now, Mu Jin felt in her heart Relieved, "How long have you been outside alone, do you have any relatives?"

Probably because he felt more at ease, the child looked more lively, with a shy smile on his white and lovely face, and he started talking more, "My relatives in my family are all dead, and I have been wandering alone for a year. There is another relative, but I can't find him..."

Mu Jin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there are relatives, otherwise she really doesn't know if she can raise a child.
