Chapter six hundred and seventy third encounter
"Widow's Alley? Why is it called such a name? Widow? It's so ugly!" Xia Xian said with disgust.
"Widow's Alley, it's because there are so many widows living in the alley." Xiaoyou replied, Qiu Mei sprayed out a mouthful of tea, "Widow... Why are they still getting together? Oh, by the way, your mother is not... no, she is also considered a widow."
"It's like me and Ah Niang, who earns money and eats a day. That alley is said to be an alley. In fact, there is only one yard when you enter, and one family has a large yard. There is a big and small room in the house. I really don't have money, so I can squeeze into a house with others. When Ah Niang and I first moved in, we squeezed into a house with two other families, with three small beds in the house, and there was no empty space for standing foot. Later, when Ah Niang made money, we rented a small room ourselves and moved out later."
When Xiaoyou talked about Ah Niang, her tone was filled with sadness and nostalgia.
"Let's go and have a look later?" Qiu Mei and Xia Xian were sad when they heard it. Qiu Mei cheered up and suggested with a smile.
"What's the best thing? I don't want to see it at all. Let's have another cup of tea. Let's go. Now, I have no idea." Xiaoyou refused. Qiu Mei suddenly cried when she heard her mention of her lack of ideas. "If I don't have an idea today, I won't go back!"
Xia Xian curled her lips and glanced at her. Qiu Mei immediately turned her mouth, "I mean, go back first and come."
"Okay, let's go." Xiaoyou took the tea money, the three of them left the tea shop, and then walked forward.
After walking a few steps, they arrived at the widow's alley that Xiao You mentioned. The three of them couldn't help but slow down. Qiu Mei and Xia Xian raised their toes and looked curiously into the alley that looked very dark. At the entrance of the alley, a very dirty female beggar who couldn't tell the age shrank, shrank again, and kept shrinking into the corner of the wall.
Xiaoyou looked at the beggar strangely. Qiumei looked into the alley several times, but saw nothing. She withdrew her gaze in disappointment and followed Xiaoyou's gaze and looked at the female beggar.
"Huh!" Qiu Mei's strengths are not only light sleeping, but also the ability to recognize and remember others. The beggar in front of her is familiar with it no matter how you look at it.
Qiu Mei took a few steps forward and bent down to see the female beggar. The female beggar covered her face with her hands, rolled and crawled into the widow's alley, and hurriedly ran into the alley with the wall.
"Hey!" Qiu Mei stared at the female beggar with her eyes wide open, and she pointed at the beggar again and again, and suddenly she chased in with her skirt. Xiao You and Xia Xian were inexplicably followed Qiu Mei, chasing her and shouting, "What's going on? Do you know her?"
Like Xiaoyou said, the Widow's Alley is very short. Qiu Mei chased into the yard in a few steps, looked left and right, headed straight to the female beggar who was huddled in a doghouse-like shack in the corner of the wall.
"Are you Yu Mo?" Qiu Mei bent down and looked at the female beggar who was buried between her legs, curled up in a ball.
"What?" Xia Xian screamed, Yu Mo? Isn't it that girl Gu? Why did she look like this? Oh my God!
Yu Mo's head was buried tighter, his whole body was shaking. From the dirty ball, he vaguely denied, "No...No..."
"You are Yu Mo! I will definitely not admit my mistake." Qiu Mei squatted down and pushed Yu Mo's shoulder hard, pushing Yu Mo's head up from between her legs, "Why are you here? You..."
Qiu Mei looked at Yu Mo who was so thin that she was not as thin as a human, with blood scabs on her mouth, and Yu Mo who was three or seven percent ghostly was so sad that she couldn't speak. She didn't like Yu Mo. From the beginning to now, she didn't like this person, just like she didn't like Aunt Gu. But when she saw Yu Mo like this in front of her, she was still sad and kept crying.
"Look at you, why are you so? Are you sick? You..." Qiu Mei was so sad that she didn't know what to say.
Xiao You squatted down, and from the bottom to the bottom, lifted Yu Mo's broken clothes that could hardly be covered. Looking at Yu Mo's festering feet, legs, arms and hands, she sighed, "Is this frostbite in winter? Why is it so rotten? The head is so hot, it's been burning for a few days?"
Yu Mo's head was hanging low, not moving, and did not speak.
"Didn't you say that you have become an aunt like Aunt Gu?" Xia Xian bent down and looked at Yu Mo and asked, but Yu Mo didn't move and didn't answer.
"Isn't it about you..." Qiu Mei knew more, and after asking a while, the one who came later did not ask further. The second master said at that time that if she was smart, she should escape from the capital. The farther she escaped, the better, but it was not that easy to escape from the capital.
"How long have you been sick? Yumo, you say, I am Qiu Mei, you must still remember me. We have quarreled. This is Xia Xian, this is Miss Xiao You. You all know each other and are acquaintances. We all know your affairs. Although we have quarreled before... Oh, if you don't talk about this, why have you reached this point? You..."
Xiaoyou gently pulled Qiu Mei and said, "Stop talking about it, Yu Mo, this is a silver note of five taels, this is... Do you both still have money on you? Take it out." Xiaoyou said halfway through, and turned around and asked Qiu Mei and Xia Xian. Qiu Mei and Xia Xian didn't have much copper coins, so they took it out and handed it to Xiao You. Xiao You stuffed all the copper coins and the five taels of silver note into Yu Mo's arms.
"There are dozens of copper coins left. Please take it. Remember to go to the Perfume Alley to take a shower first, buy clean clothes and put them on, then take the silver note to the silver shop to exchange the copper coins, and then exchange the money. Go and find a doctor to see that your legs, hands, and arms will be broken if you drag them."
Xiaoyou gave it very carefully. Yumo raised her head and looked at Xiaoyou, tears rolling in her eyes.
"We're leaving. Qiu Mei and Xia Xian, I will come to see you again in a few days. Don't worry, no one will mention seeing you. Let's go."
After Xiaoyou finished speaking, she signaled Qiumei and Xia Xian to go. Qiumei walked to the gate of the yard, looked back and held the silver and copper coins tightly, looked straight at their Yumo, hardened her heart and turned around, following Xiaoyou who was striding around, leaving the alley. The three of them didn't want to talk. They stood in the alley for a long time. Qiumei sighed, "I feel sad, don't go shopping, go back."
Xiaoyou nodded, and the three of them went back to the direction of Li's mansion listlessly.
…………
As the night had just shrouded, Ning Yuan walked sideways and slipped in through the corner door, followed the shade of the trees in the corner, and walked towards Li Tong's yard.
