Barren mountains, ruined temples, babies of unknown origin, and at this moment, the child is sleeping next to me.
I couldn't sleep, so I sat on the haystack by the fire, occasionally adding a stick or two of wood to the fire so that the sleeper wouldn't catch a cold.
After a few "Yi woo", the child cried quietly again, and this was the case several times. I was so annoyed that I had no choice but to pick up the baby.
I don't know why, but the child won't cry as long as he picks it up. The fire in front of her made her face flushed, and when she saw her little mouth move, she went straight into my arms, not knowing what she was trying to do.
Suddenly, my legs were hot, and I suddenly had a bad feeling, and when I touched it subconsciously, it was really wet.
"Why is this kid like this, he doesn't notify him first if he wants to pee!"
I couldn't stand the shouting, which woke Zhuo Ran up in an instant.
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Ran rubbed his eyes and asked me.
"She on me ......"
I put the baby down, and in an instant, she was crying again.
Zhuo Ran picked up the child and said, "You go and change your clothes, and by the way, take a clean one for her to change."
After a night of tossing, it was finally dawn, and I didn't sleep all night, only sitting at dawn when the children were not noisy. In the middle of the night, Zhuo Ran asked him to come to the vigil, but I was not at ease, and he stayed with me until dawn in the second half of the night.
"Who chose this route, there is no restaurant to eat, no inn to rest, forget it, and pick up such a little baby." Sitting in the carriage with the picked up child in my arms, I couldn't help but complain.
"How did I know it would be like this, besides, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you should consider it a good deed." Zhuo Ran said in a soft tone.
"The problem is, we don't know how to take care of such a young child."
"Otherwise, when we get to the city, we'll hand her over to the government."
"That's all there is to it."
We didn't reach any city, but in the afternoon we arrived at a village. Considering that the child had only eaten some steamed bread crumbs since he picked it up, we stopped at the entrance of the village.
Zhuo Ran knocked on a house, and the door was opened by an old lady who looked about the same age as the Xu family.
"Is there anything you guys are up to?" The old lady glanced at us with her chaotic eyes.
Zhuo Ran hugged his fists: "Old man, I'm disturbed." We're passing through here, and we've got a kid with us, so I'd like you to get us something to eat. As he spoke, he pointed to the child in my hand and said, "Don't worry, we will give money." β
The old lady let in and said, "Come in." β
Zhuo Ran and I walked into the courtyard with the child in our arms, and the coachman. Under a wall in the courtyard, three girls under the age of ten were playing some game.
"Osmanthus, hurry up and make something to eat to entertain the guests." The old lady shouted to a low hut on the side.
"Come in and sit."
The old lady led us into the main house.
"Why are you three big men with such a small child?" The old lady said strangely.
"Don't tell the aunt that I picked up this child halfway through." Zhuo Ran said.
"What, I'll see?" The old lady's expression suddenly changed, she came over and looked at the child in my hand, and said, "Where did you pick up this child?" β
Her voice was a little vibrato, and I was puzzled, and frowned: "Does the eldest lady know this child?" β
The old lady took a few steps back, shook her head with a forced smile and said, "I don't know, I don't know!" β
"Wow......" At this time, the child began to cry again, and I held her and shook it gently, so I didn't have the heart to care about anything else, I just wanted to wait for her to be sent to the government in the big city.
After coaxing for a while, it still didn't work, and then the old lady brought a bowl of rice porridge, I don't know when she went out to get it.
I scooped up the rice porridge with a spoon and brought it to the child's mouth, but this time, the child did not eat it, but continued to cry.
She ate steamed buns and dandruffs so well before, why don't she eat now.
When I wondered if she was urinating again, a young woman came into the house.
She carried a few bowls on a tray in her hand, and when she put them down, she walked up to me and said, "Let me hug her!" β
"Good!" I was being troubled and didn't know what to do, so someone helped me and quickly threw this hot potato out.
The young woman carefully took the child from my hand, and the child suddenly stopped crying.
"Don't cry, come, let's eat rice porridge." The young woman sat down, took the spoon from my hand, scooped up the rice porridge and fed it to the child's mouth.
The child opened his mouth to take it, and at this moment, he seemed to see the child smile a little.
I shook my head, this kid is so weird.
Someone helped take care of the children, and Zhuo Ran and I finally had a relaxing meal.
After the meal, Zhuo Ran took a few ingots of loose silver to the old lady, but she refused to accept it, and said that meeting is fate, you don't have to be so polite.
Zhuo Ran insisted on giving it, and in the end she accepted it. However, when we took our leave, the young woman said, "In a little while it will be dark, so you may as well stay here tonight."
She still held the child in her hands, and her eyes flickered as she spoke.
It is said that this young woman is still very good-looking, but she gives people an indescribable feeling, as if she is hiding something in her heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, we are going to the capital, and the road is still far away, so let's say goodbye first." I say.
"Osmanthus, there is an inn not far from the direction of the capital, let's let them go!" At this time, the old lady spoke.
"Yes, mother."
It turned out that this young woman was the osmanthus that the old lady shouted when we entered the door.
"Thank you for your help, this kid doesn't know what's going on, but he is very close to you." As I said a kind word, I took the sleeping child from her hand.
"I don't know what the two sons call and where they live?" Osmanthus said.
I wondered why she asked this, but I still answered her: "My name is Bai Li, this is my young master, called Zhuo Ran, and I am the first name of the Hangzhou Urban and Rural Examination in Jinke, Xie Yuan." The family lives in the city of Hangzhou. β
"Thank you!" Osmanthus blurted out.
"Why?" I was puzzled.
"I'm sorry, the little girl lost her temper." Osmanthus Road.
"Then I will take my leave, thank you for your hospitality." I didn't want to delve into the words of Osmanthus, so I got into the carriage with Zhuo Ran after speaking.
The coachman was on the road again, and before we had gone a few steps, the child, who had slept well, began to cry again.
"What should I do? How she cried again. "I guess my whole face is wrinkled into bitter melon.
"I'll hug you." Zhuo Ran took the child from my arms.
"It's too much trouble for kids!" I sighed.
"You will have to live in the future, so it's better to practice now!"
Zhuo Ran's words suddenly made me wonder if the person in front of me was Zhuo Ran?
"I'm going to be born with you!" I choked.
Zhuo Ran coughed suddenly, as if he was really choked, coughed for a while before stopping, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my words." β
"Really!"
After saying that, I turned my head to look at the innermost, and the curtain behind me was lifted by the wind, and not far away, I seemed to see a man running behind.
Thinking that he had seen it wrong, he simply opened the curtain behind him to see. As a result, there was a man behind him, and the man was trotting, but he was getting farther and farther away from our carriage, and how could the two legs of a man outrun a horse!
"Master, stop the car."
I asked the coachman to stop the carriage and asked what was wrong. I told him that someone was following him, and I got out of the car, but I didn't see anyone behind me catch up.
