26 Deng Ai
"What are you going to do? Stuttering can't be cured!" everyone laughed. Liu Yan looked at him so red that she almost cried. And I saw that his clothes were ragged, and that a broken belt had strangled his waist almost off.
couldn't help but raise his hand at him: "You come here." Then, hand him the clay bowl in front of him: "Drink saliva and speak slowly." The child, who was called the dog baby, ran over quickly, not politely at all, and picked up the bowl and drank cleanly.
"I, I, I think, I want to ......" But he was still anxious, still speechless. Liu Qiao giggled on the side: "Think, think, what do you think? Can you think of something, it's dark." β
Liu Yan didn't care: "What do you want me to go to the doctor? What's wrong with your family?" The child held back for a long time, and held back two words: "Mother!" At this moment, the laughter of the big guy stopped. Liu Yan's face turned red: "I'm not a doctor, I can't heal people......"
The child finally cried: "She, she, just, just, is going to die!" Liu Yanmo. The crowd was silent. The village chief came over: "Gouwa, your mother is dying?" Gouwa nodded pitifully, turned her face and stared at Liu Yan tightly.
Liu Yan raised his head and asked the village chief: "His mother ......" The village chief sighed: "He is a child on the mountain in the neighboring village, he has lived with his mother since he was a child, his mother is very weak, and the people in the village used to look at him pitifully, and everyone paid for the doctor once." But this small place ...... Hey......"
Liu Yan looked at the child's eager gaze, and remembered her past life, when her sister was dying, she had begged the demon with such a gaze, but what she got was a cold ridicule.
His eyes instantly softened: "I'll go with you." Everyone knew the situation in the child's house, and the person who had just mocked him naturally went with him. Liu Feng frowned: "It's not early, my mother is waiting for us at home." Liu Yan frowned, and Liu Qiao said naturally: "Let's play for a while, the people here are very good, and they all like my brother very much, isn't it......!
Saying that, he deliberately shook Liu Yan's arm, and Liu Yan smiled: "After going to see his mother, we will go back." The mountain road was difficult, Liu Feng carried Liu Qiao on his back and pulled Liu Yan with one hand.
When everyone arrived at the so-called home of the dog baby and saw the dilapidated shacks leaking everywhere, Liu Feng hesitated. Liu Yan bent over and walked in indifferently. The kiln was very short, and the light was everywhere, and Liu Yan saw the woman lying on the bed at a glance.
She is as skinny as a dog baby, and at first glance, she is often hungry and has yellow muscles. Liu Yan saw that she was less breathless and more breathless, and let out a long sigh: "It looks like she is very sick!"
When the dog baby heard this, there was a look of despair in her eyes. Liu Yan bent down and said to the village chief, "Village chief, can you find a way to move the dog baby girl again?"
"She's like this, I'm afraid she'll die if she moves...... Who would dare?" the village chief sighed: "If there is only one child, the village can take a bite of food no matter what." But ......."
"Then it can only be like this first, it looks like I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm sick. Try hanging it with millet porridge, I don't know much about it. The village chief shook his head when he heard it: "If it's a day or two, forget it, this year is deep, everyone ......."
Liu Yan looked down at the dog baby: "Do you have a name?" "Yes!" When asked the name, the little guy immediately stood up straight and raised his head: "I, I, my name is Deng Ai!"
Liu Yan smiled: "It turns out that I am literate." "Of course!" After saying that, he went into the broken kiln again, and after a while came out with a bamboo slip in his hand: "You, look!"
Liu Yan took it and opened it, it was a bamboo book, and as soon as it was opened, the bamboo pieces in the middle fell one after another. It has long been dilapidated. But some of the handwriting is still legible. Take a look. Liu Yan was stupid and handed it to Liu Feng, who was standing aside: "Brother, please see, is it a fragment of "Liutao"?"
"Liutao", Liu Feng and Liu Yan have both read it, and Xu Shudian's "Liutao" can't be incomplete. Therefore, when I saw this book, I was shocked, a little broken kiln, a beggar-like child, was able to take out the fragment of "Liutao" at home.
Liu Feng was also shocked: "It's indeed "Liutao", this kid ......" Suddenly, the two looked at Deng Ai differently. Not to mention that it is a troubled time now, even in the heyday, books are not something that ordinary villagers can afford to read. There are even fewer people who can come up with a book.
Bamboo slips are particularly valuable and easy to be damaged, while Caihou paper is rough, more fragile than bamboo slips, easy to ink, and cannot be bound into a book. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, books were a luxury for the upper class to enjoy, and only people from the Gaomen clan could read books.
However, Deng Ai in front of him obviously does not belong to this type. But he took out a volume of "Liutao", which surprised Liu Yan and Liu Feng. For this child, and even for the dying woman inside, I have to be impressed.
Liu Yan looked at her brother: "This child is worth saving!" Liu Feng immediately took out a silver baht from his arms and handed it to the village chief: "Change the place for this child and his mother, I will send someone to send doctors and medicines, and bother the village chief and the villagers to take care of them." β
The village chief took the silver baht and was more respectful to Liu Feng and the others. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial power was lost, and the five baht cast was like dung in the people, and ordinary people bartered to meet their living needs. However, as soon as the hard currency of gold and silver came out, the villagers still admired it.
First, it highlights the identity of Liu Liuyan and others, and secondly, it also increases credibility. The big guys are all there to help. Get the lying woman down the mountain and place her directly in the patriarch's house.
After a hectic walk, it was getting dark. Liu Yan and the others left, Deng Ai sent them to the entrance of the village and solemnly made a long bow to Liu Yan. Liu Yan helped him up: "Go back and serve your mother well, I will come to see you again." β
Liu Yan took her sister to the car, and Liu Qiao reluctantly looked out the window: "Sister, when will we come out to play again?" Liu Yan hugged her in front of her: "Soon, we will be able to come out." β
Back at the General's Mansion, Gan was already waiting for it. Seeing the three brothers and sisters coming back, they asked a lot of questions. Liu Qiao was naΓ―ve and told the story that her sister dressed as a man was very popular with the villagers.
Suddenly, Gan's face darkened: "I knew that you were so presumptuous, as a mother, I shouldn't be soft-hearted and let you out! How can a girl be so ......" Gan wanted to get angry, but because it was his own daughter in the end, it was hard to say harsh words. endured it for a long time and said: "Think about it yourself, should you not!"
Liu Qiao's face turned pale and almost cried. She didn't understand why her mother was so angry, and her sister was obviously not wrong. Liu Yan was very calm, kowtowed to admit her mistakes, and promised not to make it again in the future. It seems that Gan has long been convinced that Gan will be angry, so the words that admit his mistakes are said very smoothly.
