Chapter 491 Mass Grave
Sha Zhu was really fast. In just two hours, he carried Xixi to the nearby county town.
"To the clothing store."
Xixi sat on the stool behind Shazhu and gave instructions to Shazhu who was carrying her on his back.
"What are you doing in a clothing store?"
"Clothes."
"I have no money." Sha Zhu said, holding his pocket tightly.
Xixi: “…I have money.”
“You have money?!”
Sha Zhu subconsciously turned around, but Xixi was sitting on the stool behind him. When he turned around, Xixi followed him.
He turned around twice, leaving Xixi behind him speechless.
"Squat down."
"oh."
After Shazhu squatted down, Xixi jumped off the stool.
Sha Zhu looked at Xixi standing next to him, touched his head and smiled: "You are so smart."
Xixi looked at Shazhu and took a deep breath. Is this considered smart?
The clothes Xixi wore were too luxurious and attracted a lot of attention when she came to the county town.
Although there would be no danger with the shadow guards around, for safety reasons, Xixi decided to go to the clothing store to change into suitable clothes first.
She picked out an apricot-yellow dress for herself, and bought two extra sets of indigo and gamboge dresses and asked the store to pack them up. She also bought shoes and socks and packed them up as well.
Xixi tidied herself up and saw that Shazhu's clothes were really not decent, so she picked out two more sets of clothes for him.
When Xixi asked Sha Zhu to change his clothes, Sha Zhu quickly waved his hands.
"I don't want it."
"It's for you."
"I..." Sha Zhu looked at the two sets of clothes. He had never worn clothes from a ready-made clothing store before.
"Put it on."
Sha Zhu took the clothes, looked at Xixi and said, "Thank you."
"I'll return the money to you when your family comes to redeem you."
Xixi: “…”
Should he listen to what he is saying?
Shazhu happily changed his clothes, and after changing, he showed off in front of Xixi like a peacock with its tail spread out.
"There's another one."
Sha Zhu touched his brand new clothes, hesitated, and said to Xixi in a hesitant tone, "I changed that set into new clothes for my mother."
"My mother doesn't have new clothes to wear either."
Xixi didn't know how to evaluate the big fool in front of her.
If you say he is bad, he kidnapped himself to save his mother; if you say he is good, he never thought about the possible consequences of kidnapping himself, and even did not have any psychological burden after kidnapping her.
Another thing is that if it were an ordinary kidnapper, he would definitely ask where the money came from, but Sha Zhu never asked from beginning to end.
Xixi looked at the conceited Sha Zhu and said, "Why don't you ask where my money comes from?"
Sha Zhu shook his head.
"You don't want it?"
Sha Zhu held the new clothes for his mother and said to Xixi, "I am an adult, I will not rob a child of his money."
"I only rob adults and rich people."
Xixi looked at Shazhu and said, "You are quite principled."
"Hahaha, that's right, I'm robbing the rich to help the poor." Sha Zhu patted himself, "helping myself!"
Xixi gave Shazhu a thumbs up and said, "Let's go and see your mother first."
"good!"
Sha Zhu held the new clothes he bought for his mother, and imagined how happy his mother would be when she saw the clothes he bought for her after not wearing new clothes for a long time. The corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky.
Sha Zhu's happiness lasted all the way to the clinic.
"Doctor, where is my mother?" Sha Zhu didn't see his mother in the clinic, so he anxiously pulled the pharmacist in the clinic and asked.
"Let me go! How would I know who your mother is?"
"That's the old lady who was brought here three days ago and was hit by a carriage. She was in your clinic. How come she's gone now?"
The tall man who was about 1.9 meters tall grabbed the medicine apprentice and asked him questions until he was about to cry.
"You mean that old lady? She's dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, the medicine disciple who was pulled up lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then, the sound of Sha Zhu crying loudly was heard.
Xixi stood at the door of the clinic, looking at Sha Zhu who was crying like a child in the clinic while holding the clothes bought for his mother. After thinking for a while, she walked to the pharmacist who was cursing in a low voice.
"Where did you bury the old lady?"
The medicine man had initially wanted to curse when he heard the word "old lady," but after realizing it was Xixi, he inexplicably calmed down and said, "Where else can we bury her? No one claimed the body, so we had it thrown into a mass grave."
As soon as the pharmacist finished speaking, Sha Zhu let out a wail and rushed out of the clinic.
After Shazhu ran away, a man in a stone green robe appeared behind Xixi.
"master."
Xixi looked at Shazhu's running back and said, "Go prepare a coffin."
"yes."
…
Sha Zhu ran all the way to the mass grave, shouting "Mom" while searching everywhere for his mother's body.
When Xixi was taken over by the shadow guard, Sha Zhu was holding a corpse and crying breathlessly.
Xixi looked at Sha Zhu crying and calling "Mom" from afar, and she also missed her mother a little.
"Go and give him the coffin."
The shadow guard looked at his Majesty and said, "Yes."
The man pushed the coffin on a cart to Sha Zhu's side.
Xixi saw that Sha Zhu was first frightened by the shadow guard who suddenly appeared with a coffin, and then he cried even harder after seeing the coffin. Then Xixi saw the two of them looking at her at the same time.
Xixi's shadow guard appeared and helped Sha Zhu put Sha Zhu's mother into the coffin, and then found a place to bury the coffin.
After Sha Zhu buried his mother, cried, and kowtowed, he followed the shadow guard dejectedly to Xixi.
When Sha Zhu arrived in front of Xixi, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you."
"You can go now."
Xixi looked at the distraught Shazhu and asked, "Where do you want me, a little girl, to go by myself?"
Sha Zhu thought that the person just now was just someone Xixi had called in for help, and choked up and said to Xixi, "Then I'll take you home."
"You said that?"
"I said so."
What Sha Zhu said was indeed correct.
But when Sha Zhu, guided by Xixi all the way, arrived at a dock after three days, he belatedly questioned, "Isn't your home in the capital?"
"My parents are in Haizhou."
"Where is Haizhou?" asked Sha Zhu, who was quite unfamiliar with geography.
"In the South."
"Shall we go by boat?"
"right."
"Can I not go?"
Sha Zhu is indeed a foolish and bold person sometimes, but sometimes he is not much timid than a grain of rice.
"no."
"I've never been on a boat. I don't dare go out to sea."
Xixi pulled the hesitant Shazhu and said, "Everyone has a first time. You promised me that you must take me with you!"
