Chapter 267

"Walk around, no one is carrying firewood through the main entrance. Besides, your firewood is half wet and not dry. Who wants it? Hurry up and let me go, don't delay our business."

Lian'er held a windmill in one hand and a candied haws in the other, she lowered her head sullenly and biting a mountain fruit. Suddenly, a man in a long gown carrying a load of firewood was pushed out of a restaurant by the side of the road, just in time to bump into On Lian'er, directly knocked Lian'er to the ground.

The windmill in Lian'er's hand broke immediately, the candied haws were also lost, and the mountain fruit fell off the bamboo stick, rolled under the feet of others, and was trampled into the mud.

"Ah...my windmill, my candied haws..." Lian'er was knocked down to the ground, and she didn't care to cry out for the pain, so she began to cry about the things she was holding.

Qingzhu had brought the little Doudings to buy candied haws, but when she heard Lian'er crying, she hurriedly turned around and saw Lian'er fell to the ground, so she didn't bother to buy any candied haws, so she just grabbed a piece of it. Put the copper money in the hand of the oldest child, and said: "Okay, you can take everyone to buy candied haws, and my sister will not go there."

Saying that, Qingzhu walked back a few steps quickly, walked to Lian'er, helped her up, checked her whole body, and found that she only scratched the skin on her palm, and did not hurt other places, so she was a little relieved .

"Master, the candied haws are gone, and the windmill is also broken." Niu Lian'er cried and looked at the green bamboo, and said pitifully.

"It's fine if you don't get hurt. The candied gourds are gone and the windmill is broken. You can buy them again. Let's not cry, ah." Qingzhu squatted halfway, took a handkerchief, and wiped the pimples on Niu Lian'er's face. Mud and tears coaxed softly.

"Hmm... But, this is the first time Master bought it for Lian'er..." Niu Lian'er sobbed.

"sorry Sorry……"

The man who bumped into the person also put his firewood aside at this moment, and stood beside Qing Zhu and Lian Er in a hurry, bowing and apologizing at the same time.

"Is the little girl okay? How about I go fetch a basin of water and wash the little girl's hands and face?" The waiter from the restaurant who pushed people earlier also ran out of the door to see what Qing Zhu and Lian Er were wearing. They were not from poor families, so they immediately panicked and asked cautiously from the side.

"It's nothing, I just fell asleep, please help me get a basin of clean water." Qingzhu wiped Lian'er's face and hands, and helped her pat the dust on her clothes and legs before rushing out said the younger brother.

"Yes, please wait a moment." Xiaoer responded, turned around and ran back, and brought out clear water in a copper basin after a while.He came out with him, as well as the shopkeeper of the restaurant who had heard about it.

"This girl, I'm really sorry. If there's anything wrong with this little girl, the store will definitely take responsibility." The fat shopkeeper said apologetically to Qingzhu with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's just a little scratched, just wash it off, but next time you don't want to do this, even if someone else is wrong, don't push people like this, this firewood has sharp and stubble, if it hurts someone's eyes What to do." When the waiter in the store went in to serve the water, Qingzhu also heard the whole story of the incident from the person next to him, so he would say something like this.

"You don't know about this girl. This person is really annoying. He rushed into the hotel after picking up firewood. He insisted on asking us to buy his firewood. He couldn't persuade or listen to him. There was nothing we could do. Xiaoer chased people outside, so I didn't know that I bumped into this little girl, so I'm really sorry." The shopkeeper bowed again and said apologetically.

"Forget it, no one was hurt, I won't pursue it anymore, just be more careful next time." Qing Zhu shook her head, took clean water for Lian Er to wash her face and hands clean, and then rubbed the handkerchief , for Lian Er to wipe off the water on her face and hands.

"Thank you for your generosity, miss." The shopkeeper of the restaurant thanked him, and said a few words of politeness, then led Xiaoer back to the restaurant.

Wiping off the water on Lian'er's face and hands, Qingzhu took out the small porcelain bottle from her bosom, shook a little medicine powder on the scratch on Lian'er's hand, and blew on her, then looked at her He asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Lian'er's eyes were red, she shook her head and looked at Qing Zhu and said.

"Hey, then master will take you back, and buy a bunch of candied haws and a windmill, okay?" Qingzhu wiped the corners of Lian'er's eyes again, stood up, took Lian'er's uninjured hand and walked back.

As soon as Qingzhu left, the long gown selling firewood hurriedly picked up firewood and followed carefully.

"Why are you following us?" After walking a few steps, Qing Zhu realized that there was someone behind him, turned around, and asked the man in long gown carrying firewood behind him.

"This little girl was hit by me. It's lucky that she won't allow me to pay for the medical expenses. I should pay for the candied haws and the windmill." The man put down the firewood on his shoulder, saluted, and said Said.

"No need, you can't manage a few pennies with this load of firewood." Qingzhu shook her head and said, pulling Lianer away.

Because although the long gown on this man's body was washed very cleanly, it was very flimsy, and there were patches on the top, obviously from a poor family. In addition, he did not run away after bumping into someone, but sincerely apologized. Therefore, Qingzhu There is no plan to pursue it.

How do you know that this man is still carrying firewood and walking behind the green bamboo.

"I said that you don't need to be responsible for the compensation, you should hurry up and sell your firewood." Qingzhu walked a few more steps, turned around again, looked at the man and said.

"Young lady doesn't hold me accountable. That's a girl's generosity. But I made a mistake, so I should pay for it, so..." The man put down the firewood again, and said a little awkwardly.

"Okay, the candied haws and the windmill are worth eight cents in total. If you want to pay, you can take eight cents." Qing Zhu shook her head and said helplessly.

"So expensive?" The man was surprised, but then his face turned red. He shook his head and waved his hands in embarrassment, and said, "Girl, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

As he said that, the man touched all over his body, and finally his hands and feet were stiff. Looking at the green bamboo, he said embarrassedly: "Well, I don't have any money with me, but don't worry, girl, I will sell the firewood later, and I will definitely pay it to the girl." .”

Qingzhu looked at the man, speechless for a while, and finally waved his hands weakly, and said: "It's no use, you are really... just, if you really want to pay, then wait until you sell the firewood."

"Yes, I will sell the firewood right away, and it will definitely be sold. Don't worry, girl, after selling the firewood, I will come to find the girl to pay for it." The man said, picked up the firewood, turned his head and left.

"Hey, wait a minute." Qingzhu shouted behind the man.

"May I ask if you have any other orders?" The man turned around, and as before, he still put down the firewood before speaking.

"If you want to sell firewood, don't enter through the front door, ask through the back door, otherwise, no one will ask for your firewood." Qingzhu saw that this person was a scholar, and that he was a bit pedantic in his reading, so he couldn't help it. He kept his mouth open and reminded.

"So that's the case. Thank you for reminding me, miss. I understand." The man showed a hint of bewilderment on his face, and said gratefully to Qingzhu.

"You're welcome." Qing Zhu said, shaking her head, not caring about the man, and pulling Lian Er to continue walking back.

And that man also picked up firewood and left.
