Kangxi's mad favorite escaped concubine

Chapter 71 Retrieve a Little Beggar (2)
Different from the hustle and bustle of the commercial district, the residential area in the evening is already in the dinner season, and the smoke from every house is rising, making it quiet and peaceful.Three or five children ganged up and rampaged in the alley, singing immature songs, which echoed the hissing of cooking, making it even more peaceful and peaceful.

Ma Qi couldn't help being satisfied again, if Wu Ya would never be in the palace, it would be the greatest gift for him to just walk with her on such a peaceful path every evening.

"Catch the thief, stop, you thief!" Several children rushed over from behind them, the front one was a little beggar in ragged clothes, followed closely by several children, and stopped him within a few steps. The little beggar snatched the pancake from his hand, threw it on the ground and stomped on it: "I'll let you steal it, I'll let you steal it! Hmph!"

A few children humiliated him, and then dispersed.The little beggar sat slumped next to the pancakes, looked at the trampled miscellaneous pancakes with frustration, swallowed, reached out to pick them up, and was about to put them in his mouth.

"Hey!" Wu Ya knocked off the pancake in his hand, "It's already very dirty!"

The little beggar raised her big watery eyes, opened her mouth but did not make a sound, so she pointed to her stomach to indicate that she was really hungry.

Wu Yazai looked at this little beggar carefully, only to realize that she was actually a girl, her shabby clothes and dirty face couldn't cover her bright eyes, Wu Ya felt sorry for her Help him up: "My sister has food at home, tell my sister how old are you?"

The little beggar stretched out both hands, one finger in one hand and two fingers in the other. Wu Ya tried to ask, "12 years old?"

The little beggar nodded.

Wu Ya frowned, looking at her small stature, one would think she was only eight or nine years old.

Wu Ya smiled: "Okay, let's go home with my sister."

Ma Qi was still a little worried: "We don't know the details of this person, how dare you take her in?"

Wu Ya smiled nonchalantly: "Mama Wang doesn't know my background, so why not take me in? The little girl is so pitiful, she can't speak, and is bullied everywhere." Wu Ya stretched out her hand to hold her hand, The little girl withdrew her hands abruptly, and wiped her pants in a panic.

Wu Ya took her hand: "It's okay, it won't be dirty, I'll give you a bath later, and I can wash my hands, okay? I'm drunk, you have to support me!"

The little girl nodded, held Wu Ya's hand tightly, and carefully helped her walk.Ma Qi walked behind the two, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although the decision was a little reckless, Wu Ya was still a kind person after all.

When Wang Ma saw such a thin and frail little girl, her eyes were full of pity, and she quickly brought out two pieces of cakes for her to make a cushion first.The little girl took the pastry wrapped in oiled paper and started to gobble it up.

"Don't be so anxious, be careful of choking! We're going to have dinner later, so you should put on a cushion first, so we can take a bath."

After the little girl had eaten two pieces of pastry, Wang Ma had already prepared hot water, and Wu Ya followed her into the room, but just as she took off her clothes, Wu Ya couldn't help but shed tears.Not to mention that she was so thin that she was almost skinny, but her delicate skin was covered with dozens of scars, new wounds piled up with old wounds, and some of the wounds were already a little red and swollen. Wu Ya frowned, who was it? Would you put such a heavy hand on such a small child?
Wu Ya wiped away her tears: "You can't wash her in a hot water bucket anymore, the wound will become infected when it comes into contact with water!" Wu Ya soaked hot water with a bath cloth, wiped it carefully, washed her hair, and wiped her hair. Only then did she smile and said, "Okay, what a pretty little girl!"

For some reason, Wu Ya's words surprised the little girl, and she shrank back a few steps.

Wu Ya was a little surprised: "What's wrong? What did I say wrong?"

The little girl stared blankly into Wu Ya's eyes, and after a while, she dipped her fingers in water and carefully wrote on the ground: "Don't pick up guests."

Wu Ya immediately understood, her reaction and the scars on her body confirmed her guess, she must have sneaked out from the brothel, and the scars on her body were naturally the "efforts" made by the old bustard to train her.Wu Ya stretched out her hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, we won't pick up customers. There is no brothel here, and there is no old mother who forces you to pick up customers, okay?"

The little girl flattened her mouth and threw herself into her arms and cried bitterly.Wu Ya patted her on the head, but didn't coax her, just let her cry on her shoulder, such a girl who can't express, who knows how much grievance she suppressed in her heart?
Wu Ya wanted a jar of strong wine: "I'll wipe your body with wine, so that your wound won't be infected, but it may hurt a little, so bear with it, okay?"

She nodded quietly, Wu Ya's wine stained her body, causing her to tremble, but she still just bit her lips tightly and kept silent, resisting the pain to let Wu Ya wash it from head to toe.Wu Ya saw it in her eyes and knew that she was a tough little girl who had tasted all the vicissitudes of the world at such a young age.

Wu Ya spent a whole day communicating with her with pen and paper, gradually understanding her past.

Her name is Yun Xiao, and she was originally the daughter of the county magistrate. Two years ago, the county magistrate took office in a new place. Unfortunately, she met a robber on her way. Both her parents died in that disaster. She was also sold to a brothel. The old bustard trained her For more than a year, she was ready to start receiving customers, but she refused, so she ran out secretly and lived on the streets for several months until she met them.

Perhaps because of the stimulation, she hasn't said a word since the day she was robbed.

Wu Ya left her behind and lived with her in Ma Qi's mansion. Wang Ma loved this thin girl more than Wu Ya, and bought several beautiful clothes for her.Ma Qi secretly reported the girl's matter to the emperor, and also got the news that a county magistrate surnamed Lin died two years ago on the way to take office, so he no longer cares about it.

Wu Ya feels that she has been lethargic recently. As long as she has some time, she can fall asleep no matter day or night. It is already midsummer, but she will break out in a cold sweat and look extraordinarily weak.The recent daily living is almost all prepared by Yunxiao.Wu Ya is a little embarrassed, it's really easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!
