There were three children in the scene, two of whom had fallen asleep on top of adults, and one little girl was sitting alone by the fire and sobbing softly, without an adult by her side.

The little girl's pigtails on her head, one of which had spread out, the other was still standing alone, her hair was stained with dark red blood, and she was sitting by the fire with her hands and knees folded, crying dazedly, and her body twitching.

One of her shoes had fallen off, and she was wearing long wool boots on one foot and a cotton sock on the other.

When Guan Xiaojun saw the blood stains left on the little girl's clothes, he couldn't help but feel pity, the child's relatives should have been killed in the car, otherwise she would not be the only one at the scene.

He opened the door of the room beside him to the maximum and whispered, "Come in!"

The parents of both children stood up and carried the children into the house, except for the little girl, who sat by the fire in a daze.

Guan Hongda glanced at the little girl and sighed, "This child's mother is a good woman, when she was dying, her body bowed into a circle, and she circled the doll, and when we arrived, the doll's mother was already dead, but she was still holding the doll dead, and she broke her fingers for a long time before she took the doll out!"

The little girl's body curled up tighter, and tears flowed non-stop.

Guan Xiaojun paused, walked up to the little girl, and stretched out his palm to her, "Come, go sleep in the house for a while!"

The little girl raised her eyes and glanced at Guan Xiaojun, and slowly stretched out her right hand very timidly, and when her palm was raised, she could see that there was also a large area of blood on her arm.

Guan Xiaojun grabbed her little hand, and with a slight force, he pulled the little girl to stand up, and said softly: "Let's sleep in the first room for a while!"

This little girl looks like she is five or six years old, about the same age as Guan Xiaojun, and if the clothes on her body ignore the blood stains on it, it is actually a very fashionable little padded jacket, not hand-sewn, but a finished dress that appears.

In this era when clothes are still commonly sewn by hand, there are basically no children in the countryside who can wear such clothes, and even children in the city are very few. It seems that this little girl's family should be someone with a bit of background.

After pulling the little girl up, he reached out to wipe away her tears, and led her into the bed where he had just slept on, "Hurry up and go to bed!"

At this time, there were already two little boys lying on the bed, and the little girl looked at the two dirty mud children on the bed, and shook her head at Guan Xiaojun, it seemed that she didn't want to sleep with these two boys.

Guan Xiaojun scratched his head, "Then let's go to another room?"

He led the little girl to the room where Guan Hongda slept before, and said to the little girl, "Now, can you just be in this bed?"

The little girl nodded, and after Guan Xiaojun lifted the quilt, she climbed into bed, took off her clothes with the help of Guan Xiaojun, revealing a brand-new autumn coat and autumn pants, and then plunged into the quilt, only revealing two dark tear-stained eyes looking at Guan Xiaojun blankly, her little hand quietly stretched out from under the quilt, and held Guan Xiaojun's hand.

Guan Xiaojun has forgotten his identity as a child at this time, the little girl in front of him evoked his sympathy and pity, maybe the little girl in front of him can't understand the pain of losing a loved one at this time, but when she grows up, she will understand what happened today, today's car accident will definitely mark her for a lifetime, and it can never be erased!

"Well, hurry up and go to sleep!"

Guan Xiaojun reached out and took off the leather band on the remaining pigtail on the little girl's head, and helped the little girl tuck the quilt corners, "When you wake up, let's tie the braids again, okay?"

The little girl nodded vigorously on the bed, but she didn't speak, and slowly closed her eyes under Guan Xiaojun's gaze, but her little hand kept holding Guan Xiaojun's hand, as if a drowning person was holding a life-saving rope.

Guan Xiaojun stood quietly in front of the bed for a while, and it was not until the little girl fell asleep that he gently broke free of the little girl's palm, walked out of the room lightly, and slowly closed the door.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman with a disheveled hair drank ginger soup and cursed, "I'm Rinima, the driver is fooling!

Guan Hongda frowned, "Big sister, don't complain yet, you can survive a life in this catastrophe, your luck is already good! Those who died, they can't even complain!"

The middle-aged woman nodded and stopped scolding, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, "My old man's head is cracked!

Guan Hongda sighed, he didn't know what to say, now he comforted him with words, no matter how he persuaded him, it was pale and powerless, only time could kill his sadness and anger, and there was no other way.

Guan Xiaojun walked up to Guan Hongda, "Grandpa, change the clothes for these children, the clothes on their bodies are bloody, it's scary!"

Guan Hongda said: "How to change it now, borrow a few clothes from the village people in a while, make do with them first, and then the country will come and let the country take care of it!"

He touched Guan Xiaojun's head and said with a smile: "Xiaojun, there was a car accident nearby, and many people were injured, because we want to save people, we may not be able to go home today, can we stay here for a few days first?"

Guan Xiaojun said: "Well, good!"

Guang Hongda laughed, feeling that his grandson was really pretending to be his own face, and smiled at the group of people next to the fire: "This is my grandson, just in the first grade!"

The old man in military uniform before said: "What a good doll, come, here is a fountain pen, give it to you as a gift." You must study hard and be useful to the country!"

He took out a fountain pen from his jacket pocket and handed it to Guan Xiaojun, "This is a gift from E's comrades-in-arms, and I will give it to you today!"

Guan Xiaojun was slightly stunned and turned to look at Guan Hongda.

Guan Hongda smiled: "Take it!"

The people next to him saw the old man in military uniform giving a gift to Guan Xiaojun, and they all looked for things from their bodies to see if there was anything they could give as gifts, but they came from the scene of the car accident in such a hurry, and there were not many things that they brought out, except for the old soldier who gave Guan Xiaojun a pen, only one middle-aged man gave Guan Xiaojun a silver medallion.

The rest of the people felt very embarrassed and said, "I owe the gifts first, and when I get home, we will send some gifts to the children!"

Guan Hongda said with a smile: "The meaning is fine, it's not that my family is greedy for money, it's just the rules of our old Guan family, helping people, you must have a thank you gift." The ancestor said that there is a story called the branch road skinny cow, and this cow must be thin!"

When he said this, he touched his head and wondered, "I still can't figure it out, why do cows have to be thin?"

A pale, very thin man next to him suddenly smiled and said, "Branch Road Thin Cow?"

Guan Hongda patted his leg and said: "Yes, it's a thin cow on the branch road! Why is this cow thin, I don't understand!"

Zigong ransomes people, Zilu receives oxen, these two allusions are two things in the Analects, which talk about the different ways of Confucius's disciples Zigong and Zilu to treat things.

Zigong's approach is a bit like Lei Feng, doing good deeds without leaving a name, while Zilu is like a businessman, if I help you, you have to pay me.

For these two practices, Confucius was very much in favor of Zilu's behavior, and criticized the spirit of Lei Feng, believing that doing good deeds without leaving a name and without remuneration is completely contrary to human nature and profit-seeking, and will cause great harm.

The ancestor of the Guan family seems to be a staunch supporter of Confucius, so when he set up the family rules, he deliberately passed down the matter of Zigong receiving cattle, so that his descendants could keep in mind the principle of "equivalent exchange" and "not be a good person".

However, the things in the "Analects", ordinary people don't know what's going on at all, even Guan Yunshan doesn't understand this allusion, and Guan Hongda can't read Ding, so he doesn't understand what it means, so he just memorizes this word.

Guan Xiaojun also learned that his ancestral training was originally "Zilu Shouniu", not "Zhilu Lean Niu".

In fact, Guan Zizi must know this allusion, but no one asked him, and he didn't bother to explain it to others, because for illiterate croppers, the explanation is also a blank explanation, they don't understand it at all, just let them know that they can't give people for nothing.

So Guan Hongda made such a joke today.

But the thin young man guessed what was going on, and none of the people in front of him knew what it meant.
