Chapter 40: The money is gone
"Don't cry! Don't cry! Say it well." Leng Rui was most afraid of women crying. When he saw the little girl crying like a tearful person, his heart softened.
The little girl seemed to find a window to vent her tears, and the louder the more she cried, and finally she turned into a wailing loudly.
"What's wrong with this? I'm so crying?" Leng Rui felt a little sad. He could see that the little girl was really sad and could not pretend.
Dahu's face became bad, so he quickly closed the door and sat aside and sighed.
After crying for a while, the girl's crying became less and turned into a low sob.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Leng Rui asked softly.
"Woo! Woo! Fan... Fan Xiaowen, Woo!" the little girl replied sobly.
"Fan Xiaowen?" Leng Rui repeated in a low voice.
He is a little familiar with this name. On Earth, he has a high school classmate who also calls this name.
That was a lively and extroverted girl who had occupied his heart for a long time.
"Where are you from?" Dahu asked with concern.
"Wangjing!"
"Where is your home? I'll take you back." Dahu said.
"There is no one at my house!" Fan Xiaowen finished speaking, perhaps remembering the sad things and started crying again.
"Is it an orphan?" Leng Rui asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Fan Xiaowen nodded gently.
"It's so pitiful!" Leng Rui said.
For a moment, the three of them stopped talking.
"Little girl! Little girl!" Erniu suddenly ran over and shouted curiously at Fan Xiaowen.
"You?" Fan Xiaowen was a little angry.
"Second Brother, it's dark, go back to sleep!" Leng Rui advised softly.
"Erniu, stop making trouble, go to bed!" Dahu also shouted quickly.
Erniu listened to the big tiger the most and immediately went back to bed obediently.
"Sister Xiaowen, don't be angry! The second senior brother is injured in his head, and it is also to protect me." Leng Rui said.
"Yes!" Fan Xiaowen nodded.
"How did you get along with those people?" Leng Rui asked.
Fan Xiaowen lowered his head and said for a long time: "I was hungry at that time and beg for food on the street every day. Later, an old man took me away and said he had to go to a place to eat and eat meat. I followed him. Who knew he was stealing......"
"That old man is a thief?" Leng Rui asked.
"Yes! Big thief!" Fan Xiaowen said angrily.
"He first taught me to steal things, and then asked me to come out and steal every day. He stipulated that he had to steal ten taels. If he didn't steal enough, he would be beaten when he went back and had no food to eat. He was not a human being!" Fan Xiaowen became sadder as he spoke.
"Senior Brother, do you have anything to eat? Sister Xiaowen hasn't eaten yet!" Leng Rui said anxiously.
"Yes, yes!" Dahu also reacted.
...
The meals were very simple, just plain green rice with two side dishes.
Fan Xiaowen was eating voraciously. It seemed that she was really hungry.
"Sister Xiaowen, eat slowly, I will give you the level if it is not enough." Dahu said honestly.
After eating a few bowls, Fan Xiaowen put down the bowls and chopsticks and stretched comfortably.
"I'll go wash the dishes." She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Dahu and Leng Rui looking at her.
"Let me put it here, I'll wash it." Dahu said.
"No, I eat the food and I wash the bowls."
Maybe he was full, Fan Xiaowen smiled when he spoke.
"Senior Brother, let her stay with us? Don't go back to that thief's nest." Leng Rui said quietly to Dahu.
"Okay! It's just that I'm busy these days and I'm short of staff, so I'll ask her to help here." Dahu agreed.
Leng Rui thought of another question in his mind. If it were indeed as Fan Xiaowen said, there might be many children in this thief's nest who had encountered similar experiences like Fan Xiaowen.
Alas! So pitiful!
After washing the dishes, Fan Xiaowen was a little hesitant and at a loss. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Xiaowen, if you don't dislike it, just live with us for the time being!" Leng Rui said with a smile.
"Really? You want me? Brother Leng Rui, don't worry, I won't eat for nothing, I will do a lot of work." Fan Xiaowen said hurriedly, for fear that Leng Rui would change his words and not want her.
"Haha! Don't worry, you will be our junior sister in the future, just call me the third senior brother."
"Senior Brother Third!" Fan Xiaowen shouted happily.
...
The next day, there was a little girl wearing a gray Taoist robe in Tongshantang.
The little girl is diligent and laughs happily from time to time.
The atmosphere in Tongshan Hall immediately became much more active.
Qing'er didn't know when she got the news and came to the store.
When Qing'er saw Fan Xiaowen, she looked at her carefully and found that she was a little beauty with white skin, thin shoulders, delicate nose and mouth, and not too big, but she was very flexible, as if she could speak.
"Little sister, are you new here?" Qing'er asked with a smile.
"Yes, is there anything wrong with Miss?" Fan Xiaowen nodded and said.
Qing'er said carelessly: "I am the leader of the Tiandihui Gang, and this is our deputy leader. Since you have come to Tongshan Hall, you can be considered as our Tiandihui."
Fan Xiaowen's face changed, she looked at Leng Rui as if she wanted help, shook her head and said, "No, I won't join anything."
She was afraid, and she would have an instinctive resistance to these gangs.
Leng Rui saw it and hurried over and said, "Qing'er, don't make any noise. Xiaowen is our junior sister."
"Hmph! I don't know where I got it!" Qing'er leaned closer to Leng Rui's ear and whispered.
Leng Rui smiled and ignored her anymore.
"Hey! Brother Dahu has also joined our Tiandihui. Now he is the leader of the Tiger Hall." Qing'er deliberately said loudly when Leng Rui ignored her.
Leng Rui heard this and looked at the big tiger.
Dahu was a little embarrassed and blushed and said, "Hehe! What?"
I didn't say that I was Chou and Yin and Mao for a long time.
At this moment, an old man with kind eyebrows came in outside the door, wearing a white robe, his snow-white hair was neatly combed, and a long snow-white beard hung on his chest.
When Dahu saw that a guest came, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Customer, what do you always want to buy?"
The old man smiled slightly and said kindly: "Look at it casually!"
Then, he walked slowly by Dahu and walked around the store.
Leng Rui felt a little strange. He saw Fan Xiaowen very nervous, his face turned a little pale, and he was gone with no joy.
"Who is this person's origin?" Leng Rui's heart turned around.
The old man came to Leng Rui again and said with a smile: "This little brother is Sangouzi, right?"
Leng Rui nodded.
"It's very popular outside now. It's all said that you are a miracle doctor. Can you see if I have any problems?" the old man asked.
Leng Rui looked at him a few times, shook his head and said, "No, you are so good."
"Okay! OK! OK! It seems I've saved some money for medicine!"
After the old man finished speaking, he kept walking out, and when he passed by Qing'er, he said, "This little girl is pretty, don't be upset to look at me!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure flashed and disappeared.
"Hmph! I'm rude!" Qing'er was still angry. The old man just now called Leng Rui Sangou to make her unhappy.
"Xiaowen, do you know him?" Leng Rui noticed the change in Fan Xiaowen's expression.
Fan Xiaowen nodded.
"Who is he?" Dahu, Leng Rui and Qing'er asked almost in unison.
"He, he is just lying to me!" After Fan Xiaowen said that, tears came out again.
Many people in the store were buying medicine. When they heard the word "Thief Head" and subconsciously touched their pockets.
Suddenly, it was like a frying pot, and everyone exclaimed.
