Chapter 458
The rooster crowed, it was dawn, and Ouyang Shuixian ushered in a new day. After rubbing her eyes, Ouyang Shuixian got up with her "bed".
There is no bed, it’s just a little hay on the ground. Living in the city is just that bad, you can’t even find some straw, otherwise you can warm up.
Last night, I woke up twice coldly. Fortunately, I fell asleep in a daze. It seemed like I was in a dream, and there was a very warm embrace of myself. The instinctive feeling was Brother Hu You. When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was Shuang'er, a friend who was begging for dinner together.
After looking at the sky that was already showing whiteness, Ouyang Shuixian secretly calculated in her heart that it was another day closer to seeing Brother Hu You.
Although I have never contacted her, Ouyang Shuixian is very confident that Hu You will definitely come to Greentown to find her. And Hu You will definitely find her.
"Rou'er, what are you thinking?" Shuang'er held her hand in front of Ouyang Shuixian's eyes for a few times. Early in the morning, she didn't know what she was in a daze. She didn't respond when she talked to her.
"Huh? Are you talking to me?" Ouyang Shuixian came to her senses. She just thought to herself, should she go to the city gates and leave some secrets. Although Brother Hu You is very smart, he may not be able to guess that Rou'er is now a little beggar.
Shuang'er rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you talk to you, are you sad that I'm talking to those guys?" Shuang'er said, pointing to the open space not far away. There were seven or eight beggars sleeping there. On the cold day, they didn't even have grass on the ground, and they could sleep soundly.
Those are senior beggars, they work in afternoon shifts and they have to sleep until noon before getting up.
Beggars also need to be divided into classes?
Of course, it is necessary to make a market economy. Everyone needs to be resilient. Without separating the shift, all beggars rushed out in a swarm and didn't scare people away. They also wanted to get something to eat? And you can't eat on the street for 24 hours. What should someone do if you are not on the street?
With the spirit of not missing a grain of food and a copper plate, the beggar industry must of course move towards a path of groupization, division of labor and cooperation. Adopting the principle of three shifts, organic rotation in the form of morning shifts, afternoon shifts and night shifts.
Ouyang Shuixian nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. They will never wake up even if they fall asleep and thunder. It's useless to talk to them. Then what did you say to me just now?"
Shuang'er's expression was defeated by you and said, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are begging for food, and there is no professionalism at all. I just said that today, the Lin family in the east of the city married a daughter, and I heard that I could give alms to steamed buns. I haven't eaten the big white flour steamed buns for a long time. I'm so excited to think about it."
Ouyang Shuixian frowned and said, "You don't want me to go with you, do you?" The master of the Lin family in the east of the city sounds like a big family. In order to avoid being exposed, Ouyang Shuixian always avoids going to those big families to beg for food as much as possible.
Shuang'er looked at Ouyang Shuixian for a while, then said with disbelief: "You aren't you, of course I asked you to go together. White-floured steamed buns, don't you want? Anyone who can give us more steamed buns can do anything to exchange for, but unfortunately I have nothing. Rou'er, go with me."
Ouyang Shuixian said: I want to risk being discovered, so I don’t want this steamed bun.
But she could only say this in her heart, and she would never dare to say it to Shuang'er. First of all, she is a beggar and not a princess, and she would not go without steamed buns. Secondly, in the past two months, Shuang'er has taken great care of her. Being a beggar must have the qualifications to work. If Shuang'er hadn't brought her into the beggar gang, she wouldn't even beg for food. Shuang'er is so passionate about steamed buns, she should be regarded as life. How could she beat Shuang'er?
Besides, the gang has to pay tribute, and half of the food she needs to get. She originally had very little things to get every day. If the boss knew that she would not ask for steamed buns, the consequences would be very serious.
After thinking about it for a while, whether to go or not is one thing, or whether to get there is another thing. If they can't get there, they can't blame her much, and at most they can just scold her.
Having a certain plan in his mind, Ouyang Shuixian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Ha, it's great, then let's go quickly. It won't be late." Shuang'er happily pulled Ouyang Shuixian and was about to run out. Ouyang Shuixian broke away from her hand and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't washed up yet."
Shuang'er rolled her eyes at Ouyang Shuixian again. Sometimes she really couldn't understand whether Ouyang Shuixian was a beggar or a lady, why did there always have so many troubles?
Ouyang Shuixian ignored Shuang'er's eyes. She allowed her clothes to be filthy because it was to hide her identity. There was no way. But she did not allow her heart to be dirty. Without revealing her identity, she had to keep herself as clean as possible.
The back door of Lin's mansion was already crowded and was out of water. Shuang'er pulled Ouyang Shuixian into it while complaining.
"So many people have come. We should have come earlier if we had known this. These hateful guys, are they not going to bed at night? They come so early..."
Compared to Shuang'er, Ouyang Shuixian is much quieter. Her eyes and her dike are paying attention to the movements and movements around the world. Her two months of escape have learned too much. She knows that under no circumstances should she be careless.
Hu You has been in Greentown for three days, but he has not found any news about Ouyang Shuixian. Greentown is the capital of the Ningnan Empire. It often has an additional population of more than one million. It is undoubtedly similar to finding a needle in a haystack.
"Where will Rou'er be?"
Hu You sat down at a tea stall on the side of the road and ordered a pot of tea. While drinking, he analyzed where Ouyang Shui Narcissus might hide. As soon as he entered Greentown, he had a premonition that Ouyang Shui Narcissus must be here. What he had to do now was to find her.
"Damn it, who is the one who is here? What is this drawn? Are the daffodils in clothes?"
"Huh?" The words floating in his ears caught Hu You's attention. He immediately looked for sound and saw that the tea boss was holding a piece of cloth and was wiping something there.
"Wait a minute" Hu You took a few steps, stopping the tea boss's movements, and his eyes stayed on the graffiti.
The graffiti has been wiped off a lot by the tea boss, but it can still be seen that there is a daffodil on it. The daffodil is very strange and has a little withered. The flower is wearing something similar to a dress. Let's just say it's clothes, but there are many small square holes on it, I don't know what it means.
"Hey, young man, what are you doing?" The tea boss was quite dissatisfied with Hu You's interruption of his work. He was a person who likes to be clean and could not see people writing or drawings outside his store.
"Haha, nothing, I just think this graffiti is quite interesting. Boss, do you know who drew it?" Hu You said, while giving the tea boss a few copper coins. Money is not omnipotent, but sometimes it can solve many problems.
Building a tea shop is a small business. A few copper coins are already a good extra income for the tea owner. As soon as the money is purchased, the true nature of a businessman immediately appeared on his face, and he laughed and said, "Young master is really good at painting. I think I'm good at painting it. Unfortunately, I don't know who painted it. I think it should be some children."
Having said that it was equivalent to not saying it. Hu You did not give up and asked again: "When did this be painted? Have you ever had similar graffiti before?"
The tea boss thought for a while and said, "Well, children often write and draw here, but this is the first time I have seen daffodils in their clothes."
When the tea boss mentioned that Hua was wearing clothes twice, Hu You frowned and said, "Do you think this is a clothes? So what do these square holes represent?"
The tea boss scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I think it should be clothes. As for these holes, I don't know anything. Maybe it's nothing. It's hard to say about children's things."
Hu You thought about it and made sense. Maybe some kid added it casually.
At this time, the tea shop came to another customer.
"Tea boss, come and have another bun, hurry up, Master Beggar is hungry."
"Ah, OK, come now." The tea boss responded and said to Hu You embarrassedly: "Young master, I still have business there, look..." After all, after taking Hu You's money, he couldn't just run away like that.
Hu You waved his hand and said, "You go and do your business."
"Okay, then you can watch slowly, slowly, if you need it, just call me."
The tea boss ran to greet the guests. Hu You looked at the graffiti for a while and couldn't see anything more. Although the painting was a daffodil, the daffodil is a very common flower and cannot be said to represent Ouyang's daffodil. Besides, the graffiti is simple and strange. Maybe this was drawn by a child.
This time, Hu You made a mistake in his judgment. He felt that this was not painted by Ouyang Shuixian. In fact, this was the code Ouyang Shuixian left him. But it was not a question that Hu You couldn't see it. It was the tea boss who liked cleanliness too much and called Zhen with a graffiti.
In fact, the graffiti that Hu You saw was not complete. Ouyang Shuixian was still next to the graffiti and left a lot of secret notes. Those were secret notes that Ouyang Shuixian learned from Zhu Daneng. If Hu You saw it, he would definitely know that it was left by Ouyang Shuixian. Unfortunately, the part of the secret notes had been wiped out by the tea boss.
He left the tea shop with a little disappointment. Hu You was about to leave, but the tea boss habitually shouted: "Young master, come again."
I turned my head politely and my eyes widened as I stared.
When the tea owner called Hu You, he happened to serve tea and the new guest's table. When Hu You turned around, he happened to see the new guest.
Ouyang Shuixian said 'I'm sorry' in her mouth, and smiled and said, "I don't want to do it either, but her belly is really not strong. If you don't go, you have to pull it out. This has been divided, and there is no way, let's go."
Shuang'er looked at the empty basket reluctantly and said, "I wish there would be another basket."
"Impossible, let's go." Ouyang Shuixian pulled Shuang'er out. If there was another basket, she would have to find an excuse to avoid it, and she would be blamed for being killed by Shuang'er.
Just as Ouyang Shuixian and Shuang'er were about to leave, a voice came from behind: "Two little girls, please wait a moment."
The two of them turned their heads in confusion and saw a fat man in his fifties, like a manager, walking over quickly.
Ouyang Shuixian glanced at the man and lowered her head. The reason she just ran away was because the person who gave the steamed buns was the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion. She was not sure whether the housekeeper had seen her before, but she could not take that risk. The same is true for the manager who ran over.
Shuang'er was not afraid at all. When she saw the fat man calling them, she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
The fat man looked at Shuang'er with a pair of rat eyes, and then looked at Ouyang Shuixian, and piled up a smile and said, "Oh, that's right. I don't get steamed buns. It's very pitiful. I still have two meat buns, I want to give them to you, but I don't know if you want them."
"Meat Bun" Shuang'er's eyes suddenly lit up. A steamed bun was enough to make her fight to the death. With Meat Bun, she could even take her life.
"Yes, of course," Shuang'er replied without thinking. She no longer has any thoughts, and she is already focused on meat buns.
Ouyang Shuixian trembled when she heard the "meat bun". She was not happy, but instinctively feeling something was wrong. She looked up and glanced at the fat man. This person had no relatives and no reason, so why did she not eat meat buns and chase them over?
Ouyang Shuixian remembered that Hu You once said: Show your diligence when you have nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, you must keep your mind.
The fat man saw that Shuang'er felt so much about meat buns, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, saying, "I'm so anxious that I didn't take out the buns. If you want them, follow me to get them."
"Okay" Shuang'er was about to leave when she started. Ouyang Shuixian grabbed her and said, "Shuang'er, we already have steamed buns, so let's go back."
Shuang'er's eyes widened and said exaggeratedly: "Rou'er, you're crazy, meat buns, do you know how long it's been since I've eaten meat buns? Wow, how can I not do it?"
Shuang'er said and asked the fat man again, "Master, do you really have meat buns, and there are two?"
"Of course, what am I lying to you?" said the fat man: "Maybe more than two, but we have to hurry up, otherwise we will be taken away by others."
