Slavery (6)
Calmly turned around and went out, but was stopped by Leng Yu, "You rest, if you are sick, mother and Jun'er will be worried." ”
Leng Yu knew that he was thinking about the boy calmly now, but the most important thing now was his own body.
If you don't heal the leg injury now, the situation will be even more severe in the future.
However, in his calm heart, he was still thinking about the boy, and he couldn't listen to it at all.
But Calm has always been very filial, so when talking about his mother and his younger brother, Calm had to give up for the time being and returned to the house to recuperate.
At this time, the boy walked towards Chang'an City alone, covered with injuries.
Because he was wounded, each of his parts was less than half of the original, and although the bleeding in his right foot had stopped, the injury was too severe, so as soon as he walked forward, the muscles at the heel would hurt, so he walked very slowly with each step, and by the time he reached his house, it was completely dark.
The boy's mother died when he was born, and his father was nowhere to be found.
So before he was adopted by his grandfather, he stayed next to his mother's already cold body for fifteen days, but fortunately, he was taken care of by his grandfather, and his body recovered from his original illness little by little.
It is precisely because when he was young, the boy still relied on drinking goat's milk to achieve the most difficult time in his infancy, so the boy was born very close to animals, and even he has no friends so far, but loves to live with animals more, and now that his grandfather is sick, the boy has to go to the street to beg, hoping to save a medical bill for his grandfather.
On the way, he saw a shipment of goods coming in from outside the city, and the living creatures were delivered to the restaurant.
In order not to be killed and eaten, the boy tried to break into the hotel and take the animals out, and dug a tree hole in the forest a month in advance to provide a shelter for the animals.
The boy hadn't been back for a long time, and he had been at a calm house before, and he secretly asked the housekeeper for some money, and he was in a hurry to leave to get medicine for his grandfather.
Now he was carrying a packet of medicine, carefully holding it in his arms, and moving towards home.
When I entered the door, I found that the courtyard of my house was full of wreaths, and there was a simple mourning hall in front of the door.
The boy threw away the medicine bag in his hand and rushed in.
In the mourning hall, the boy saw his grandfather, but he had already turned into a cold body without any temperature.
The boy did not shed tears, did not even kneel in front of his grandfather, but stood there in a daze.
He didn't dare to go to see his grandfather, in the past few days, he had been trying to save the animals that were waiting to be slaughtered, and put aside the matter of grabbing medicine for his grandfather, and now that his grandfather had passed away, he thought that at this moment, he was the least qualified to appear at his grandfather's funeral.
He ran into the woods alone and saw the puppy still in the hollow of the tree, licking the food he had prepared for it.
He took it in his arms.
While petting the puppy, he said "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
By the end of the day, he had already stopped crying.
It was too cruel for a child who was only five or six years old to face life and death, and the puppy in his arms also felt his grief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his mouth.
The boy has no friends, so he is grateful that the puppy is with him now and touches it with his deep hands.
At the same time, wipe away the tears with your hands.
At this moment, a pair of hands reached out, and he handed the boy a crisp white handkerchief.
The person who came was none other than his calm father, Leng Yu.
He was also touched by the kindness of the boy before, so after he didn't say goodbye, he was a little uneasy because he couldn't take care of him.
I thought I would try my luck here and see if I could meet the boy.
Unexpectedly, I saw this scene when I came, the boy was holding the puppy and crying bitterly.
This picture reminded him of himself who left his hometown and came to Chang'an, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy, even he didn't understand why at this moment, he would regard the boy in front of him as his own child, or treat him as his former self, no matter what, Leng Yu had already made a decision.
He stepped forward, handed the boy a handkerchief, and asked him, "Don't you have a home?" ”
Seeing the boy crying so sadly, Leng Yu guessed casually, but was worried that it would poke the boy's sore spot, so he squatted down and let himself look at the boy level, and said it as gently as possible.
But he has been a county lord for more than ten years, and the domineering on his body has not been completely restrained.
Fortunately, the boy was not afraid, and he was not sad because of what Leng Yu said, but habitually wiped away all his tears, and no longer showed his fear and cowardice in front of outsiders.
At this time, what his grandfather handed him was also the way to survive that he had to face the real world since he was a child.
Leng Yu saw through the boy's thoughts, he touched the boy's head and said, "Why don't you go back with me, take your pet with you...... Your friend. ”
The boy looked up at the well-dressed man in surprise, all he knew was that the girl he had met before was very good to him, and the man in front of him was her father.
So the boy nodded involuntarily.
So Leng Yu took the boy's hand, and the boy's other hand led the puppy, the rabbit in his arms, and the rooster stood on his shoulder, and walked towards Leng Yu's courtyard together.
