Chapter 142: It's like a slum
"Five taels of silver? In this way, I will give you ten taels, can I buy these two horses? Lin Wan tried her best to talk to the boy in a kind tone, for fear that the boy would think she was a liar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Five taels is fine, I know it's already very sick, you don't have to give so much." Lin Wan's high price made the boy feel a little uneasy.
Obviously, everyone else is selling at a low price, but this sister actually gives it to a high place, how does it feel a little unreliable.
"If you look at those two people over there, you can see that they are not poor." Lin Wan saw that the boy was puzzled, so he pointed to Rong Xiu and Bai Qi, who seemed to be arguing about something not far away, and said to the boy.
"Then don't worry, they have money, just enjoy it!" Lin Wan smiled at the boy, then squeaked at Rong Xiu and Bai Qi not far away, and then beckoned to them.
"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Rong Xiu first walked in front of Lin Yun, looked at Wan'er and said, and then looked at the sick mare.
"Well, this horse is good, but it's a pity that it's dying." Rong Xiu pulled the mare's mouth and said to himself, although he was talking to himself, but this voice was not small at all!
Lin Wan still wanted to talk about Rong Xiu, but he was still a step slower.
"Hmm~" The boy seems to have broken the last string, originally just with tears in his eyes, but now the tears can't be stopped.
Rong Xiu was startled when he saw the boy crying, and looked at Lin Wan and the boy a little anxiously, not knowing what to do.
"His mother is sick and needs to sell a horse for treatment, this horse sells for ten taels of silver, you pay for it, it should be regarded as an apology for him." Lin Wan said confidently, after all, this child was made by Rong Xiu, and this money is Rong Xiu's good.
"Naturally, I do things by myself." Rong Xiu readily agreed, and directly took out ten taels of silver from the money bag on his waist and stuffed it into the boy's hand.
"You don't need so much, five taels is enough." Although the boy listened to Lin Yun's words, he had honestly returned the silver to Rong Xiu's hand, and said with a serious face.
Although there were still undried tears on his face that looked a little funny, Rong Xiu was a little surprised.
"Is your mother seriously ill? I'm a doctor, can I go and see it? Although Lin Wan didn't want to meddle in things, the boy's filial piety and integrity attracted Lin Yun.
If such a person can be supported, his future prospects will be unlimited.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun thought of his younger brother, his dream is to be an official, but being an official is not alone.
"Are you really a doctor?" When the boy heard Lin Yun's words, his eyes lit up instantly, but they dimmed in an instant.
"My mother is so sick that she has seen a doctor, but the doctor said that it can't be cured." As the boy spoke, the tears that had just stopped flowed like a small river on the boy's little stained face.
"If it doesn't work, try it, come, you take the money first, and then we'll go see my mother first." Lin Wan took the silver in Rong Xiu's hand and put it in the boy's hand, and then said.
In the end, the boy compromised, Rong Xiu was in charge of watching the horses and things, and Bai Qi and Lin Yun followed the boy to his house.
Although Rong Xiu wanted to go with him, the things had to be watched, and Lin Wan also promised to make him something to eat, so he stayed quietly.
The boy's family was in a small alley, out of town, and the surrounding houses were in tatters, like a slum.
The three of them walked quietly in the alley, and just when Lin Wan thought that he would have to go a long way, the boy said.
It's a small courtyard, although it's not big, but it's all complete, and although the house is dilapidated, it's fairly clean.
"Mother, I'm back." When the boy had just entered the yard, he ran towards the house, shouting as he ran.
But no one answered.
Lin Yun and Bai Qi also followed.
The room was so empty that there was only one bed, not even a stool.
On the bed lay a woman with a blue face, white lips, closed on both sides, covered with a dark blue quilt, and her chest did not rise or fall in the slightest.
"Mother, wake up, Zhou'er is rich, I can ask you for a doctor, mother, mother.." The boy lay on the edge of the bed, calling incessantly.
Lin Wan knew that the woman was dead, but she didn't know how to tell the boy.
"Are you called Zhou'er?" Lin Wan asked softly, when she came to this world and saw someone pass away for the first time, she inevitably felt a little sad in her heart.
"Well, can you help me see what happened to my mother, my mother was fine this morning, and she was still talking to me, why are you ignoring me now." The boy couldn't wake up his mother, so he was a little anxious, turned around, and said to Lin Wan.
"Okay, I'll show you this." Lin Wan was stunned and stepped forward to check.
The woman's body was still a little warm, but her muscles were relaxed, indicating that she had been dead for at least an hour.
"How's my mother?" The boy was a little anxious, grabbed Lin Wan, and then asked.
"Your mother, ...... died" Lin Wan glanced at the boy, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the boy.
"Impossible, you're lying, my mother promised me that I would always be with me, mother!" The boy took the woman's hand and kept calling, but the man lying on the bed never responded.
No matter how the boy cries, the deceased will not come back after all.
Lin Wan had a sour nose, and wondered if her parents were as sad as she had in her dream when she learned of her death.
Her beloved mother, she will never see again.
It turned out that she was not very sensible, especially after working in the hospital, she didn't go home much, she would only go back during the New Year's holidays, and now that she thinks about it, God is punishing her for not honoring her parents.
Leaving the boy's home, Lin Wan didn't speak all the way.
Although they were kind enough to help the boys, who would have thought that they would be kicked out by the boys like this.
However, Lin Wan understands the boy very well, the only relative in the world is gone, and whoever he changes will collapse, let alone a child.
"What's wrong with Wan'er?" Bai Qi saw that Lin Yun had not spoken, so he asked with some concern.
"No, I'm just wondering if if people die and start a new life in another world." Just like her. Lin Yun naturally didn't say the last sentence, but silently read it in his heart.
"Who knows, I'm not dead yet." Bai Qi smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.
Lin Wan was a little curious, what was the reason why Bai Qi kept smiling like a hypocrite, although he was as warm as jade, he actually rejected people for thousands of miles.
Back in the carriage and horse shop, Lin Yun didn't tell Rong Xiu the truth of the matter, but just fooled the past with a few casual words.
Then Lin Wan guarded the things, and Rong Xiu and Bai Qi went to buy horses and carriages.
The carriage was two taels of silver, and the horses were twelve taels, which were paid by Bai Qi.
But Lin Wan still stuffed fourteen taels of silver and returned it to Bai Qi, she didn't like to owe favors!
