Chapter 17 Lu Yu betrayed his father and buried his father
After a bumpy ride, the convoy finally arrived at Pingdu Town at noon on the third day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Zhengrong has been in the carriage for the past three days, he is tired enough, and the little meat that he has been raising with great difficulty is also tossed and lost on the road, and the midsummer sun has made his little face black, that is, the big eyes are still shining.
When he arrived in Pingdu, Zhengrong was about to say goodbye to the dart masters, and the team rested in Pingdu for one night and had to set off north tomorrow. In the past three days, Zheng Rong and the dart masters have also become acquainted, and the head of the dart said that he asked the two dart masters to send Zheng Rong, but Zheng Rong politely refused. Just kidding, Zhengrong himself doesn't know where to go, where to send them?
Bidding farewell to the convoy, Zhengrong walked forward aimlessly, thinking about finding a restaurant to fill his stomach first. Walking and walking, looking at the large group of people in front of him, Zhengrong also came up. I saw a little boy kneeling in the crowd, his eyes were blank, his face was dirty, he looked like he was in his teens, the boy had a grass on top of his head, and a wooden board was placed in front of him, which read "Sell yourself to bury your father". Zheng Rong was about to come forward to ask, and he heard the two aunts next to him saying, "This child is also pitiful, his father was originally a gentleman in a private school, and the family was okay, but the guy who grew up with his mother's childhood sweetheart eloped with his mother, and his father was angry and broke his vitality all of a sudden, and he lingered on the sick bed for two years, and all the family's savings were drugged, and he died, but this poor child didn't even have the money to buy a coffin board for his father......"
Zheng Rong listened to the general situation, and also remembered her mother who abandoned her, and felt sympathy, so she squeezed in from the crowd, squatted beside the boy, and asked him: "Little brother, how much silver do you need to bury your uncle?" ”
Hearing this, the boy's eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he suddenly looked up at Zhengrong, and closed his eyes in disappointment after seeing Zhengrong's outfit clearly. "About four taels of silver, little brother, go home quickly, you can't help me."
Hearing this, Zheng Rong calculated the silver taels he had left, estimated that there were still six or seven taels left, and took the boy's hand and dragged him up, "Big brother, you get up first, I have money." ”
The boy looked at Zheng Rong in surprise, but still stood up with Zheng Rong's strength, "Where did you get so much money, you don't look like a young master from a rich family?" ”
"This is not the place to talk, you come with me first." As she spoke, she pulled the boy out of the crowd, and tried to reach for the grass on the boy's head, and the boy saw that she was working so hard, so he bent over, and she took it down. "Little brother, my name is Zhengrong, Li Zhengrong, what's your name?"
"What a coincidence, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Dai." The boy said.
"It's good, from now on you will be my brother, let's go and eat first, and then find someone to help bury your father, so that he can rest in peace as soon as possible."
Li Dai nodded, followed Zhengrong to a restaurant, ordered a scrambled egg with leeks, and two bowls of rice, both of them were hungry, and they ate cleanly after a while.
Zhengrong paid for the coffin, and Li Dai found the original neighbors to help bury his father, and the neighbors were willing to help him when they saw him pitiful. Zhengrong They gave money to the neighbors, but the neighbors didn't accept it, "You two children, you don't have much money, you still have to live in the future, you still keep it yourself, and you can eat two more days of full food." Li Dai burst into tears when he heard this, knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Thank you uncles and uncles!" Today's grace and so on Li Dai will have a future interest, and he will pay it back a hundred times. ”
