Chapter 771
Duanmukai took out a few coins from his purse and put them into the old beggar's bowl. After the old beggar took it, he smiled happily and said, "Thank you very much."

He was about to leave, but Duanmu Kai stopped him: "Wait."

The old beggar turned his head, looked at Duanmu Kai, and asked with some puzzlement: "What's the matter?"

Duanmukai frowned, and said: "Everyone here has run away, why do you still stay here to beg, aren't you afraid of starving to death?"

Hearing this, the old beggar shook his head and said with a bit of stubbornness: "I won't go, Ye'an is my home, and even if I'm going to die, I'm going to die here."

When Duanmukai heard the words, he just thought it was funny, and said: "Your life is worthless, who will collect your body?"

But the old beggar said indifferently: "So what, I've been begging here all my life, and the people here treat me with deep affection, so I'll always look after their house."

Duanmukai groaned, looked at the old beggar and said with a smile: "You have been begging here for a lifetime?"

The old beggar patted his chest and said proudly: "Of course, I have been begging here since I was born, and I have never left."

After hearing this, Duan Muze rolled his eyes and said, "I'm from another place. I came to Ye'an to find someone. Since you have never left, I wonder if you have seen her?"

The old beggar looked at Duanmukai, he was well-dressed, he thought he was either rich or expensive, but he still couldn't take it lightly, with a bit of guard in his eyes, he looked at Duanmukai up and down, and said, "I'll help you, what do you have?" benefit?"

After hearing this, Guo Long pointed at the old beggar and scolded: "Don't be shameless, our master gave you money."

His attitude made the old beggar a little upset, he frowned and said, "That's what he rewarded, and I got it."

There is also such a fallacy, Guo Long is so angry that he will strike with a sword.

Duanmu Kai hurriedly scolded: "Guo Long, don't be rude."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the old beggar and said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry about him, as long as you help me, I will give you ten taels of silver as a reward, how about it?"

When the old beggar heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, no matter what was rude, he immediately nodded and said: "Deal."

Duanmukai took the old beggar to a restaurant, the business of the restaurant was light and there were no people there, which was very much in Duanmukai's mind.

Since he wanted something for himself, the old beggar was not polite, and ordered a table full of food in one go.

Presumably he was starving, and as soon as the food was served, the old beggar picked up the chopsticks to eat. Duanmukai didn't move the chopsticks, but just sat quietly and watched the old beggar eat.

When the old beggar finished eating, it was already half an hour later. The old beggar touched his round belly, burped, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I was so full. It's still six months since I was so full last time." years ago."

Seeing the satisfied look of the old beggar, Duanmukai asked with a smile: "Do you want more?"

The old beggar waved his hand and said, "No, you have to be content to be a human being. I still know it. This is what the dead girl told me. I understand the truth. If you want to ask this son, just ask."

Duanmukai snorted and said, "Do you still have a daughter? Why didn't she follow you? Why didn't you ask her to come with you?"

Hearing this, the old beggar just sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't have a daughter, but I do have a goddaughter, but it's a pity that she has gone and gone to another place."

Duanmukai let out an oh, didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

The old beggar was very emotional, and said with a sigh: "This dead girl went to the imperial capital, and I don't know what happened. It's been so many years, and she hasn't sent a letter back."

"To the imperial capital?" Duanmukai frowned, as if thinking of something, and asked, "What is she going to the imperial capital for?"

The old beggar looked at Duanmukai, but he didn't want to answer. He looked at Duanmukai with a sense of guard in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Young master, why are you asking this?"

Duanmu Kai immediately pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Just curious, since she is your goddaughter, why did she leave you alone?"

The old beggar groaned, seeing Duanmukai's harmless expression, he was relieved, and said carelessly: "That girl didn't leave me alone, she just wanted to go to the imperial capital to find relatives."

Duanmukai frowned again, and asked: "Looking for relatives? What kind of relatives are you looking for?"

The old beggar let out a sigh of relief, and said with a bit of emotion in his expression, "That is also a poor child. I picked her up on the street six years ago, and she forgot who she is. Her family is here." Where, I felt sorry for her, so I took her in and took her to beg together, but that girl was always thinking about her family, and she left after staying in Ye'an. She said she wanted to visit the imperial capital, where there were many people, maybe There is news about her family members, it will be five years since she left, you damn girl, you don't even bring back a letter to me, it's just too heartless."

The old beggar was full of righteous indignation, spitting and cursing, but Duanmu Kai at the side straightened his body, stared at the old beggar with hope in his eyes, and said, "What's her name?"

Hearing this, the old beggar said this, with a bit of shame on his face, and said: "She doesn't know what her name is, I've always called her a dead girl, you don't know, that girl looks honest, but in fact she has a lot of ghost ideas, just now When I picked her up, I kept chatting with me about some literary things. Those who didn’t know her thought she was the lost daughter of a rich family. Who knew it was a belly full of bad water, and took me to steal things to eat, and followed her. Only then did I feel full for the first time.”

Although the words were relegation, but the tone was endless pampering, just like a father showing endless pity for a child, he shook his head and said: "That child's life is also suffering, I don't know if she has found her family or not?" , I hope she can find it, seeing her cry at night sometimes makes people feel worried."

The old beggar was talking to himself, but he didn't realize that Duanmu Kai sitting next to him was getting more and more stiff. He clenched his fists, stared at the old beggar, and asked, "When you picked her up, was there anything special about it? For example, what clothes is she wearing, and what is she wearing?"

Hearing this, the old beggar said this, and looked up at Duanmu Kai. The other party's stiff expression made him feel uneasy, and he asked in puzzlement, "Why do you ask this?"

Seeing that he was on guard again, Duanmukai smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, we are from the imperial capital, and we can be regarded as a respectable family. Maybe we can help your adoptive daughter find a family."

The old beggar thought for a while, as if he agreed with Duanmukai's words, he said: "It seems that there is nothing special, no, I remembered, there should be some."
