How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Xia Chu felt uneasy as she went out. She grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and said, "You must take good care of your second brother, okay?"

"Yeah." Xiaowu nodded repeatedly.

On the way to the deserted house, they washed their hands and faces thoroughly. After washing, Da Wa was revealed to be a handsome young man. He had sharp eyebrows and narrow, bright eyes. If he weren't so thin, he would definitely be popular with many young girls.

Wang Xiaocong was not too dirty. He had delicate features and spoke slowly. At first glance, he looked like a scholar.

Dali was different from him, with a more hard-edged look. He just couldn't smile, because when he did, he looked naive.

In the afternoon, Da Wa and Xia Chu went to sell flowers, while Grandma Wang and Wang Xiaocong picked flowers inside.

After listening to Xia Chu's explanation of the target audience, Da Wa barely understood. He took her to another street, which was mostly filled with rouge, powder, silk, and jewelry, and almost all the people shopping there were women.

Xia Chu's eyes lit up and she began to shout in her sweet and crisp little voice.

Someone noticed her, first seeing her innocent little face, and then their eyes fell on the colorful flowers.

"Miss, you are more beautiful than flowers. Would you like a flower in your hair?"

"Madam is beautiful and charming. If she wears this flower, it will complement her even better."

Xia Chu kept talking with her little mouth, praising people so much that they were dizzy.

"Then flower seller, give me a bouquet." Xia Chu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a window open on the left front. A young man poked his head out. "Brother, do you want flowers?"

The young man smiled and replied, "Yes, I want the biggest one. How much is it?"

"Twenty coins." Xia Chu walked over, and the boy lowered a basket from upstairs with twenty coins in it. She took the money, put the flowers in the basket, and the boy pulled the basket upstairs.

Just as he was about to leave, the young man called out again, "Flower seller, go get me a bowl of mutton offal noodles from that noodle shop at the end of the street. Tell them it's for Yu Qing. I'll give you a penny for your journey, okay?"

"Okay." Xia Chu agreed. Isn't this just running errands?

When the noodle shop owner heard that it was Yu Qing who wanted it, he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "You little bastard, you are so lazy."

It turned out that Yu Qing was the son of the noodle shop owner. When he heard his son wanted to eat, he put half a bowl of mutton offal and sprinkled a little chili powder on it. He also gave Xia Chu a steamed bun and said, "The bowl is hot, eat slowly."

Da Wa took the noodles, but Xia Chu waved her hand to refuse the steamed buns. "I don't want them. My brother said he would give me a penny."

"Take it and eat it. Go ahead." The noodle shop owner stuffed the food into her hands because she was young.

This errand running job is doable. After picking all the flowers, can I run some errands or deliver some takeout?

Xia Chu was thinking about this in her mind, and the flowers in her hand were sold out.

After selling twice in the afternoon, it was getting dark, so they packed up their things, bought a bag of steamed buns and went back.

As soon as we reached the shack area, we heard Xiaowu's crying, "Second brother! Second brother, where have you been! Second brother!"

Da Wa's pupils shrank, and he rushed back a few steps. Xiao Wu was running around like a headless fly. When he saw his eldest brother, he felt like he saw a savior, "Brother, brother, second brother is gone!"

"You go back first, I'll go look for her." Without having time to comfort him, Big Wa turned around and rushed out.

Xia Chu calmed down and stuffed the steamed bun into Xiao Wu's hand. "Xiao Wu, go back and wait. Maybe your second brother will come back."

Xiaowu didn't notice that his younger brother, who usually called him brother, suddenly called his name.

Grandma Wang didn't understand why they were so anxious and kept asking, "What's wrong? What happened to Erwa?"

"My second brother was acting weird before, like he didn't want to live anymore." Xia Chu said, tears streaming down her face. She didn't want to cry. But a child's body is really out of control. He laughs when he's happy and cries when he's sad. She wiped away the tears that were getting in the way and said, "I'll go find him."

"What's going on? Xiaocong, hurry up and follow him. He is so small, where are we going to find him?" Grandma Wang pushed her grandson and told him to go quickly.

As Da Wa searched the nearby streets, Xia Chu regained some clarity. If someone didn't want to live anymore, they'd either jump off a building, into a river, or hang themselves. There were no buildings here, and Er Wa didn't have a rope, so he must have gone to the river. But she didn't know the way, and Wang Xiaocong happened to catch up. "Xiao Cong, hurry up, where's the nearest river?"

"Follow me." Wang Xiaocong knew the situation was urgent, so he ran ahead to lead the way.

Arriving at the river and seeing no one, Xia Chu looked along the river and saw a man carrying water. She rushed forward and said, "Uncle, have you seen a child who is a head taller than me and dressed in rags?"

The man thought for a moment and pointed in a direction. "It seems there is one, going downstream."

Xia Chu ran out a few steps before shouting, "Thank you, uncle."

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you trying to save my life?" The man muttered and continued walking home.

Xiachu ran along the river for a long time before she saw a small figure by the river. Before she could be happy, the little figure jumped into the water with a "splash".

"Ah! Erwa!" Xia Chu couldn't help but scream and rushed over to jump down, but Wang Xiaocong grabbed her arm and said, "Can you swim? You can't even drag him!"

"Help! Is there anyone here? Help!" Xia Chu lay on the river bank, stretching her hands out to reach the water. The tears that flowed out blurred her vision, and she could only watch the small figure struggling in the water, appearing and disappearing from time to time. "Help~"

"What are you doing?" Wang Yong walked out of the house with a bowl in his hand. When he saw the child in the water, he cursed, threw away the bowl and jumped into the water.

The rescue was timely and Erwa was still conscious when he came ashore.

Xia Chu hit him hard, "What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you doing! Why are you doing this!"

Erwa coughed up the water in his throat and hugged his sister crying, "My life is not worth 200 coins. I don't want to be treated anymore."

"Bah, you're looking for death for just two hundred coins. I'll throw you down again." Wang Yong wiped his face and breathed heavily. But when he saw the clothes on the men, he reacted and sighed.

"God damn it! Are you going to die? You broke my bowl!" Wang Yong's wife heard the noise and came out to see the familiar food and bowl on the ground. She immediately flew into a rage and grabbed Wang Yong's ears, "Are you going to die? Are you?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. No, no, don't be angry, my lady." Wang Yong was afraid of stretching her, so he bent down and lowered his head to comfort her softly, "Anger is bad for your health. I was wrong, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again."

Xia Chu turned around sobbing and saw a man of 1.8 meters tall being held by the ears by a woman less than 1.7 meters tall. She almost laughed out loud. She calmed down and said, "Aunt, I'll compensate you for the bowl. Uncle saved my brother, please stop scolding him."

Dong Xiaohuan's eyes lit up when she saw that it was a small baby, and the anger on her face disappeared. "Be good, you don't have to pay. Take your brother to your aunt's house to change and wash."

Xia Chu shook her head and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'd rather not bother you. My brothers and sisters are waiting for you at home."

"It's a cold snap this spring, you can't go back wet, come in quickly." Dong Xiaohuan said, then turned to her husband with a different expression, "Why don't you go back and change your clothes? If you get sick, wait for me to take care of you." After that, she let go of the man's ear and picked up the second child on the ground, "Come on, come on, there's hot water at home."
