Chapter 562 Angelica (1)
It has been five years since there was no news from King Xuan.
Xiao Jingwen took Feng Wenjin and Feng Wenxi with her and set off for Youlan City regardless of anything.
At this moment, Feng Wenjin was leaning against the window in the carriage, silently looking at the scenery outside. There was no longer the rebelliousness and arrogance in his eyes as before, only a lot of worries and regrets. He had grown a lot.
Feng Wenxi, a little girl who was almost six years old, looked at her brother, then looked at her mother, and finally said, "Mother, where are we going?"
"Xi'er, didn't mother tell you? Call me mother when you come out." Xiao Jingwen reminded gently.
"Then mom, where are we going?" Feng Wenxi asked Xiao Jingwen with an innocent and romantic face while chewing a roasted sweet potato.
The little girl is fair and clean, very pretty, and her eyes and eyebrows look very much like when she was a child.
When Xiao Jingwen looked at the little girl, she couldn't help but wonder what Feng Tianmo's reaction would be when he saw her.
He must be very happy!
After all, he had always wanted a daughter, a daughter like Jiujiu. He finally got one, but he...
"Let's go find dad." Xiao Jingwen said while pinching Feng Wenxi's little face.
"Looking for daddy? Daddy..." Feng Wenxi was still not very sensible and had never experienced any hardship. She always said whatever she wanted. After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, she raised her little face and said, "But mother, they all said that daddy is dead. Why are you still looking for him?"
"Don't say that." Xiao Jingwen angrily scolded, "Your father is not dead. If you continue to say that, be careful that your mother will beat you."
Xiao Jingwen said this and raised her hand towards Feng Wenxuan's little face.
"Mom, you are never mean to Xier." Feng Wenxi looked at Xiao Jingwen's angry look and was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes, which made people feel very distressed.
Seeing this, Feng Wenjin hurriedly pulled Feng Wenxi into her arms, patted Feng Wenxi on the back, and patiently coaxed her: "Xi'er, don't cry. Mother won't hit you. Mother is just scaring you. Don't be afraid."
"Hehe, I'm scared." Feng Wenxi said with a pout.
Feng Wenjin looked at Xiao Jingwen, "Mom, my sister is still young."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen suddenly covered her face and cried silently. After crying for a long time, she wiped her tears, went forward to hug Feng Wenxi and Feng Wenjin, and said apologetically: "Jin'er, Xi'er, I'm sorry, it was my fault just now, I shouldn't have done this."
"Mom was too impulsive. I won't be like this again in the future."
Xiao Jingwen also regretted scaring Feng Wenxi.
Xier is still young, how could she do this?
"Mom." Feng Wenxi called out to her mother with tears in her eyes, and added: "Mom is right, Daddy is alive, Daddy is not dead, Xier will definitely be able to see Daddy."
"Xi'er." Xiao Jingwen looked at the little girl with heartache.
Feng Wenjin looked at the mother and daughter and encouraged them, "Mom, sister, we will definitely find Dad."
The carriage went all the way to Youlan City. After arriving at Youlan City, the mother and her two children entered the city with heavy hearts.
Today's Youlan City has become part of Western Chu because of the King Xuan who had no news here in the past. The situation is completely different from before. The people live and work in peace and contentment. The streets are spacious and clean, and prosperity is evident everywhere.
After Xiao Jingwen, her mother and her two sons entered the city, they went straight to the inn to rest.
The main reason was that Feng Wenxi was hungry.
When the little girl entered the city, she kept whining, saying that she was hungry and wanted to eat something, but she didn't want dry food, she wanted meat.
After arriving at the inn, Xiao Jingwen led Feng Wenxi into the inn, and Feng Wenjin went to settle the horses and carriage.
When the mother and daughter entered the inn, they met a beggar at the door. The man had messy hair like a chicken coop, and his face was dark, so it was hard to see what he looked like. His clothes were dirty, smelled bad, and looked stiff, as if they had not been washed for a long time.
Xiao Jingwen looked at him, stopped, took out a few pieces of silver from her purse, squatted down, and threw them into the broken bowl in front of the beggar.
"Go buy some food and some clothes!"
The money Xiao Jingwen gave was enough to buy these.
"Thank you good man, thank you good man."
The man took out the silver from the bowl with a smile, put it in his mouth and bit it, then walked away happily, looking a little naive and silly.
Xiao Jingwen looked at his departing back, smiled, and took Feng Wenxi into the inn.
For some reason, Feng Wenxi stared at the back of that person for a long time. She inexplicably wanted to take a few glances at that person and inexplicably felt that the person was very kind.
.
The man returned home with the change to see his brothers and sister-in-law.
His brothers are not his biological brothers, but sworn brothers because they are both wanderers in the world.
Their lives were not easy, with no food to eat. Fortunately, they had been relying on each other for all these years, so they had someone to rely on.
"Brother, sister-in-law, look, look, I got the money."
"There was a stupid and rich man who gave me a lot of money, enough for us to eat for several days."
The man said with a silly look on his face.
The man who was changing the dressing in the house heard the sound, and came out limping without wearing shoes, holding his wife's hand, and greeted the man with a smile.
"Brother, you're back and you got the money. That's great."
"That's right." The man was very happy. He handed all the silver to the woman across from him, "Sister-in-law, take this money and buy medicine and food to improve our family's situation."
"No, I'll save it." The younger brother said, "I'll save it to find a wife for my elder brother."
"I, Lao Feng, don't need a wife, but you, my little brother, need to get your legs and feet treated."
"Brother Feng, it can't be cured anyway, so let's just give up on it. Just leave it at that. Listen to me, use this money to live well and find you a wife." Yu Di said.
Before Feng Ge wanted to say anything, Yu Di's wife took out a set of clean and decent clothes, came to him and said, "Brother, this is the clothes that Yu Ge asked me to make for you. Please change into them quickly. The hard days are over, and you don't have to suffer like this anymore."
Over the years, the few of them had not had enough to eat, nor enough clothes to wear. Yu Di's leg was broken by a beating, and he needed money to treat it. The family lived in extreme poverty and was stretched to the limit. As a last resort, Lao Feng went out to find a job, but the boss saw that he had brain problems from time to time and was not normal, so he refused to hire him. So, Lao Feng could only beg for food.
The livelihood of several people has always depended on him begging for food.
Fortunately, Yudi's leg is better now, and he doesn't need too much money to see a doctor or buy medicine. Life will get better and better.
"No, no, no, how can I get money wearing this?" Feng Ge was still clear-headed at the moment, he refused: "Leave it for now, just wear this, tomorrow, I will go to the door of the inn to ask for money, that person is stupid and rich, she lives there, maybe when she sees my miserable appearance, she will continue to give me money."
