Chapter 104: The Children Are Coming
In the following days, Rong Bai continued to go out early and return late. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info No, going out for longer and longer, sometimes even staying up all night and not coming back.
Ten days later, thirty children were sent over by Tang Yu one after another. The boys are better, and the girls are almost all unclothed and skinny.
Most of the children have dull eyes. Hengqing seemed to see himself in these children.
beckoned Qizhong and Xiaoqi to take these children to wash, and when they were all washed, the sky was dark.
Rong Bai, who was tired for another day, dragged his heavy steps home. Before I even entered the door, I felt that the house was a little strange. The dagger on his waist was instantly moved to his hand, and Rong Bai frowned and pushed open the courtyard door.
The children had limited physical strength and no extra beds at home, so Hengqing cleared out all the places they could sleep. When Rong Bai came back, there were many children lying in the house.
"Are they all here?" the deliberately lowered voice was a little hoarse.
Hengqing nodded.
The dagger in his hand was inserted back into his waist, and Rong Bai walked lightly to the room. The girls are all sleeping in the beds, and the thin children, Shan Rongbai, usually sleep in more than a dozen beds.
As for the boys, they rolled up the mat and lay directly on the floor of the living room.
Rong Bai squatted down and looked at the boy's physique.
Tang Yu's original information, Hengqing did not explain clearly. What are about four to ten years old, about seven or eight years old, and the four boys in front of me, four or five years old, are all girls.
Rong Bai rubbed his head.
If you think about it, you can understand that in this era, there are no human rights. Children are all the property of their elders, and to put it bluntly, they are just objects.
A little girl of seven or eight years old has already begun to be sensible, no matter where she sells it, she can do it. Even, at the age of seven or eight, there are those who marry those old bachelors directly.
However, these four or five years old, bought to be raised as a daughter?
No one buys it, and it spoils food at home, so discarding it is a very normal choice. And the son, as long as he has a mouthful of food, he can't throw it away.
Rong Bai glanced at the boys lying on the ground, almost all of them were curled up. Rong Bai knew that this was a sign of insecurity.
"These children are all orphans. Rong Bai asked, pointing to the child on the ground.
Hengqing nodded.
The information of those children is indeed an orphan, the parents died of the plague, these children were lucky to escape the plague, but did not escape the fate of being abandoned, think about the children whose relatives died of the plague, which family is so willing to adopt.
"How long have my parents been dead?" asked Rong Bai.
"It's been more than a month. Hengqing lowered his head and looked at the children. It's not as strong as a boy should be, but it's so thin that you can almost see the bones.
Rong Bai nodded.
A month, the incubation period of the plague has long passed, otherwise, I would have to find a place to isolate the children for observation. He almost died of the plague, and Rong Bai didn't want to be in this danger again.
"The county government has nothing to do with us, do you want to go back to the small bamboo house?" Rong Bai looked up and asked.
The kids are here, and the place is too small. The children have a place to sleep, but Rong Bai and Hengqing don't even have a place to put their feet.
"It's fine. Hengqing nodded.
Although my bamboo house is not large, the surrounding terrain is flat, and it is easy to expand. The land over there was bought by Hengqing in his own name, and he could toss it as much as he wanted.
The next day, the children woke up smelling the smell of porridge. Rong Bai got up early in the morning and cooked a wooden bucket of porridge, sprinkled some pickles made by Tang A-Niang in it, it was light and light, and it was delicious at first glance.
Fortunately, I went to the dock to sell sauerkraut fish before, and there were still a lot of bamboo tubes left, and Rong Bai had a bamboo tube for one child, and Xiaoqi and the two of them distributed the food to each child.
Looking at the child who gobbled up and drank porridge, Rong Bai somehow felt a lot more comfortable.
"The way they eat is very similar to Xiaobai. "Without a bed, Hengqing almost didn't sleep all night. also drank porridge with the children, but in his hand was a small white porcelain bowl.
Rong Bai was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully.
Well, the way these children eat is really like that of an orphanage. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just an orphanage on my side.
"Sister Rong, watching them eat, I'm hungry too. "Xiaoqi was the first to eat breakfast, and she ate a lot.
"It's not good to eat too much, we'll have to go home later. Rong Bai said.
It's ok for three or five people in this place. However, now there are thirty-five people, and everyone can't be crammed into one bed every day? What's more, he and Hengqing don't even have a bed to sleep in.
After a while, I heard a knock on the door.
Xiaoqi trotted open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Tang Yu standing outside. Behind Tang Yu, there was also an ox cart.
"Hey, you're eating, it's so fragrant, I'll have a bowl too. ā
Tang Yu was wearing a black shirt, which was very different from usual. Unload the cart rope and step through the door. A head of black hair was tied all over his head, and the tattoos on his sideburns were clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes.
Xiaoqi has stayed with Tang Yu for a long time, and she is also closer to this uncle, no, and brother. He brought a bamboo tube of porridge to Tang Yu.
"I let my sister make, pickles and meat porridge. The little girl's tone was full of pride.
Tang Yu took the porridge, regardless of the dust on the ground, and sat down: "Hengqing, your family doesn't even have a threshold, and you don't know where to sit when you sit and drink porridge." ā
Rong Bai looked at Tang Yu sluggishly, has this thing changed sexually? Or is it possessed?
"Liufeng has figured it out, isn't Liufeng more energetic now than before?" Hengqing naturally knew what Rong Bai was sluggish about, but seeing Tang Yu like this, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, Tang Yu suppressed his nature and talent. Now, he should be completely free of himself.
After taking two sips and drinking a porridge, Tang Yu raised his head and played with the bamboo tube in his hand: "I am here to help you move today." Also brought an ox cart. ā
Following the direction Tang Yu pointed, Rong Bai saw the cow outside. To be honest, Rong Bai hadn't eaten beef since he went to the battlefield before the crossing.
Just thinking about the taste of beef makes you want to drool.
However, this era was an era of heavy development of agriculture, and cattle were a necessity for farming, so even if you were hungry, you should never eat beef.
After all, cattle are worth more than people.
"Are you done eating? Hurry up and help when you're done. There are not many other things at home, and there is a lot of food, so they have to move over. Rong Bai replied.
Rong Bai doesn't like to move more and more now.
It is not unreasonable for people in this era to relocate to their land. An ox cart can only pull a few hundred catties of grain, and if there are many supplies at home, it will take a lot of ox carts to pull it away.
Where is it like Rong Bai at that time, even if there are a lot of materials at home, get a heavy truck and pull it away in minutes.
