The late autumn afternoon sun is warm and lazy, spilling over this country road, shining on passers-by, always making people want to be drowsy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rows of farmland line the perimeter of the path. In late autumn, the farmer in the farmland should be fruitful and golden, but here, the farmer in the farmland is sparse and thin, making the scene here look desolate and barren.
An old brown horse, pulling a slightly dilapidated carriage, slowly drove on this country road, although it was called a carriage, but it was the most common kind of goods used in the countryside, and the carriage was not pulling goods, but travelers on the road.
The coachman had already unloaded the wagons at their destination, and on the way back, he pulled a few passers-by by the way, so that he could make a small amount of money.
The carriage jolted along the country road, and the travelers in the carriage swayed with it.
At this moment, the driver saw a plainly dressed couple on the side of the road in front of him, holding a child in his arms, standing there, waving to him from a distance.
The reins in the coachman's hand, like a carriage, stopped beside the couple.
"Are you going to Cattoru City?" The man spoke, his rustic voice slightly anxious.
"Yes," the coachman nodded, "two copper coins per person, and children are also counted, if you have it, get in the car, and if you don't, give way." ”
After hearing the coachman's words, the man did not open his mouth to bargain, he carefully took out his money bag from his bosom, silently counted six copper coins from it with trembling hands, and handed them to the coachman.
The coachman counted the coins in his hand, turned his head and motioned to the back of the carriage, "Get in the car." ”
The man nodded in thanks, took his wife with the child in his arms, and climbed into the back of the carriage, only to see that there were already six or seven people sitting in the carriage at this time, most of them looked like him, dressed plainly, probably from the nearby villages, but among them sat two young men who looked obviously different.
This is a man and a woman, both wearing white robes, in the eyes of men, look extremely luxurious, the girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, long black hair tied into a big ponytail thrown behind her, sitting in the innermost corner of the carriage, one hand holding the chin, leisurely looking at the distant scenery, the man has never seen such a beautiful woman, people can't help but be shocked.
The boy wore a hood from his robe, the brim of which was pulled so low that it almost completely obscured his face, and although he was a man, his body seemed to be extremely tired, and he leaned limply against the girl's body.
The two young men seemed to be nobles, so the people around them avoided them from a distance, reluctant to approach.
The man looked at it, but found that except for the vacant places around the two young men, the other places were already full of people, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, lead his wife with the child in her arms, and walk towards the two young men who looked like nobles.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly started, and the man, without the slightest preparation, stumbled under his feet, and stepped on the corner of the young man's clothes hanging on the carriage, leaving a dirty and ugly shoe print on the white robe.
The people in the car noticed this scene, looked at the shabby clothes full of patches on the family, and looked at the panicked expression on the man's face, some of them gloated, hid their faces and snickered, and some sighed and shook their heads helplessly.
"I'm sorry! My lord! The man was frightened, and immediately apologized in a low voice, his heart was extremely panicked, and his wife was also afraid, hiding behind her husband, her body trembling slightly.
If this nobleman really wants to make compensation, he can't afford to pay for it even if he takes out all the money on him...
And this money is still scraped together by himself and used to treat his daughter's illness!
But to everyone's surprise, the young man did not jump up angrily like the nobleman in people's impressions, scolded the poor man in front of him, and demanded compensation, but did not raise his head, did not look at it, raised his hand, and waved gently.
From under the low brim of the hat came a weak voice: "It's okay, don't care......"
After that, he didn't react, and continued to lean on the girl's body as if he was paralyzed...
And the girl didn't look here all the time, still looking at the scenery in the distance.
The family finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the two young people, and sat down honestly.
The carriage continued on, and began to bump again on the country road.
After the small episode just now, the people in the car began to fall silent again, but at this moment, a young but slightly painful voice sounded from the car, breaking the silence
"Daddy...... I'm uncomfortable......"
"Bear with it a little longer..."The man hugged his little daughter, who was only four or five years old, with some distress, and comforted: "We are about to go to the church in Cattoru City, and the holy priests in the church will definitely help you heal you..."
After hearing her father's words, the little girl nodded obediently, endured the pain, and stopped talking...
"But I heard that it is very expensive to ask the pastor of the church to see a doctor," the man's wife was extremely worried: "Do we have enough money with us?"
The man looked at the daughter in his arms, and sighed helplessly: "Let's take one step at a time, it's a big deal that I will go to Cattolu City to sell my strength for a few days..."
"Are you looking for a priest?"
The conversation of the family was interrupted by this sudden voice, and the man saw the young man dressed as a nobleman struggle to get up from the girl's side, walk up to him, crouch down in front of him, and remove the white hood on his head with his hand, revealing his face completely.
"I'm the pastor, and I can help your daughter with the doctor."
The man looked at the young man who claimed to be a priest, and great doubts arose in the man's heart.
The main thing is that the young man's face has an extremely painful expression...
It's as if he's sicker than his own daughter...
This man is a liar...
It's better to reject him without offending him...
"I'm sorry, my lord, that....we're ....... the priest we wanted to find in Caturu City..."
"What's going on? How is this the case? Fang Xiao shouted a little anxiously: "This is obviously a world of faces, why am I so handsome, no one wants to believe me!" ”
"My lord! I didn't mean that...", the man's language explained a little awkwardly
Fang Xiao didn't bother to listen to his explanation, so he directly took out a badge and shook it in front of him, the man saw the things in Fang Xiao's hand clearly, he had seen it on the priests and adults in Katolu City, it was exactly the same.
The man said excitedly, "My lord, you are really..."
"No more nonsense!" Fang Xiao hugged the little girl in the man's arms to his lap and began to find out what was wrong with the little girl's body...
…… Stomach damage... It's already so serious.
But I can cure it.
Fang Xiao's hand gently lifted the little girl's belly, and after a while, the palm of his hand began to emit a pure white gentle light......
