Chapter 305 (Extra) I Will Protect You in This Life
Chen Yu slept until noon.
The maid prepared water and waited by the side with clothes in her hands. After she washed up, she set off for Ling'an City.
The last time I came to Ling'an was six years ago. It has been so long.
The carriage was driving on the streets of Ling'an City, and Chen Yu lifted the curtain to look out.
Street vendors are hawking their wares and the bustling crowds of people are evident of the prosperity of the city.
The imperial guards rode beside him on horseback, observing the passers-by from time to time to prevent any bad guys from mingling among them.
The carriage was not moving fast, and when the guard looked back, he saw a little boy in dirty clothes following behind. They had walked two blocks, but the boy had not been lost.
The boy was dirty and his hair was messy.
The guard gestured to the person behind him, and the guard behind him took out a handful of copper coins.
"Little beggar, use it to buy some buns and don't follow me."
The little beggar shook his head and said, "I'm not a beggar. I don't want money."
"So what do you want?" asked the guard.
The little beggar stretched out his dirty finger and pointed forward, "I want to see the sister in the carriage."
The guard's face changed, "That's our wife, not everyone can see her, go!"
The little beggar didn't want to leave, but when he saw the knife on the tall guard's waist, he had to stop.
I had dinner at the county magistrate's mansion and it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Chen Zhao got a good piece of jade and made several jade pendants, two for his children and the other three for Xie Jin, Xie Yu and Li Xuan.
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu had been homeless for more than a year, and had been stopping and starting on the road all the time. Chen Zhao knew that they would pass through Ling'an, so he sent the jade pendant to Ling'an and asked the Ling'an County Magistrate to pass it on.
The county magistrate was afraid of missing out, so he waited at the port for half a month, and finally he found the person.
Xie Tingzhou was just passing through Ling'an and didn't want to stay here for long, so he left with Chen Yu after the banquet.
Back at the port, the guards found the little beggar again. He was mixing in the crowd. When he saw people getting off the carriage, his eyes suddenly lit up and he pushed through the crowd and rushed over here.
The guard was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the little beggar's collar and lifted him up.
"What do you want to do, kid?"
Seeing that the beautiful sister was about to get on the boat, the little beggar suddenly became anxious, shouting anxiously and struggling desperately.
"Sister, sister, please let me go, help! Someone is hitting me!"
Chen Yu had already stepped onto the boat and vaguely heard a child crying. She turned around and saw the guards carrying a child who was struggling desperately.
"Go and ask what's going on." Chen Yu said.
The maid got off the boat and asked, and came back to say that the little beggar had followed them since they got off the boat, all the way to the county magistrate's mansion, and then from the county magistrate's mansion to the port.
"It must be a lost child from some family." Chen Yu guessed and asked the maid to bring the person over for questioning.
The little beggar was brought on board and stood in front of Shen Yu, all dirty. He reached out to grab her hand, but was stopped by the guard's scabbard.
"Don't do it, kid."
The little beggar stepped back a little in fear and looked up at her, "Sister, I've seen you."
The guard warned, "This is our lady, don't shout."
Chen Yu raised her hand to stop him, squatted down and asked, "Where have you seen me?"
"In a dream." said the little beggar seriously.
Everyone present burst into laughter.
Xifeng knocked on the little beggar's head and said, "You are so young and yet you only know how to tease others. Fortunately, our master is not here. You must not talk nonsense when the master comes."
The little beggar remained unmoved and stared at Chen Yu, "I'm not lying, it's true."
He scratched his messy hair again, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "But my sister doesn't wear clothes like this in her dreams."
"Then what should I wear?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
The little beggar pointed at Xifeng and said, "Wear something like him and tie your hair up high."
The crowd who were laughing just now suddenly stopped laughing and looked at the little beggar cautiously. Xifeng's hand had subconsciously pressed down the knife at his waist.
As guards, they had to remain vigilant at all times and be ready to draw their swords at any time unless they had complete control of the situation. The boy in front of them was within their unknown range.
Shen Yu was also stunned for a moment.
All in all, she hadn't worn men's clothes for almost nine years, and the boy in front of her looked only five or six years old. How had he ever seen her wearing men's clothes?
"What am I like in your dream?" Chen Yu asked patiently.
The little beggar thought for a moment and said, "In a dream, you don't move. You stand there without blinking."
Xi Feng thought for a moment, "Could it be that this child has seen the lady's portrait and thought it was a dream?"
The little beggar's eyes lit up. "It's a portrait, but it really was a dream. I didn't lie."
Chen Yu looked at the material on the little beggar.
That’s right, he doesn’t look like a wandering beggar, most likely a lost child from a family.
"Tell me, where is your home?"
"In the east of Ling'an City, my father is a wealthy man."
"So you got lost?"
The little beggar shook his head. "I ran away secretly. There is a dog hole in my backyard. I crawl out from there every day and wait for you at the dock."
It seemed that either the kid knew they would pass by here, or it was all made up.
Shen Yu asked, "How did you know I would be here?"
"I dreamed about it. My brother in the dream told me that he asked me to wait for you here."
"It's a dream again." Chen Yu laughed, "Then tell me, what did you dream about?"
The little beggar said: "In my dream, I had a brother. He had a painting, and the painting was of you."
"What does that brother look like?"
The little beggar looked up and thought, "He is very tall and loves to laugh. When he laughs, his eyes are curved. Oh, there is a mole on his ear, right here."
The little beggar pointed at his ear, only to see that the beautiful sister in front of him had a gloomy face.
"What else?" Chen Yu's voice began to tremble.
Pei Chunli loves to laugh. When she laughs, her eyes become curved. There is a small mole on her earlobe.
The little beggar said, "My brother said that if I help him get things done, he will help me cure my grandma. My grandma is sick and has not recovered."
"What did he ask you to do for him?"
"My brother asked me to tell you that he has helped his father pay off his debts in the underworld, and now he wants to be reincarnated, but he is afraid that he won't be able to find you after reincarnation, so he keeps waiting."
Chen Yu suddenly covered her mouth, tears rolling down and flowing over the back of her hand.
"What else did he say?"
"My brother said that he plans to be reborn in Ling'an, and asked my sister to remember to look for him in eighteen years."
Chen Yu burst into tears, her vision blurred, and she heard the little beggar ask, "Will you come to find him? Eighteen years later."
"No." Shen Yu shook her head and grasped the little beggar's shoulders.
"Tell him that I will not look for him. Let him come to me and become my child. In this life, I will protect him."

I've said before that the extra chapters are the author's crazy literature, purely for stress relief, so don't worry about the logic, just read it for fun.
