Chapter 283: Evidence of Guilt
Under the reflection of the firelight, the people of the Li family saw the appearance of the little guy clearly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The little guy has beautiful eyebrows, a small slap face, and a pair of overly bright apricot eyes are clear and pure.
It's just that the little guy's skin is too pale and looks very unspirited.
Although the clothes on the little one's body were shabby, they were not dirty at all.
The little guy was probably too thin, and his little pale hands stretched out on the fire were shaped like chicken feet. The little one's cotton shoes had a big hole in his foot, and the big toe and middle finger on both sides were sticking out.
Obviously, the white-washed cotton shoes were already short.
Su Shi saw that his sympathy was overflowing, and he couldn't help asking: "What about your father?" ”
Li Xiaonuan had guessed that his father and mother should be dead, but he forgot to remind the Su family.
Now that Su Shi has asked, it is too late for Li Xiaonuan to stop it.
Fortunately, the little guy was not too sad because of Su's questioning.
"My dad just froze into a snowman to keep people from seeing me, and he fell asleep. He also had a large cut on his back. The little one's eyes flashed wide, and his voice was not as clear as before.
The sentence "I fell asleep" made Su Shi's eyes red instantly.
"What about your mother?" Su Shi still asked.
"In the spring of last year, my mother accidentally dropped a pot of hibiscus and was beaten to death by the housekeeper's wife." After the little one finished speaking, he retracted his hand, curled up, and did not raise his head.
Su Shi saw that mother's love was overflowing, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the thin little body, and said in a loud voice: "Poor child, how did you survive until now?" ”
"My father and my mother brought me food every night, and I slept in the hole in the wall. No one knows me except my parents. The little guy returned sullenly in Su's arms.
At this point, Su wiped away tears. Xiao Gang also flattened his mouth, tears shining in his eyes. Li Xiaonuan's eyes and nose were sour, and she couldn't help but turn her head.
"Don't worry, we will keep you from now on. You will treat us as family in the future, and your aunt and I will be your father and mother, and this is your brother and sister. Father Li said categorically.
Li Xiaonuan was not surprised by Daddy Li's decision. After all, the little guy's dad did help them.
In this icy and snowy land, the actions of their father and son (daughter) are tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, which is the most valuable.
After listening to Daddy Li's words, Su Shi let go of the little guy in his arms, half-hugged him and said, "Your uncle is right, we will be your family in the future." Come, call the sound of the mother to listen. ”
The little guy opened his eyes wide, looked around the few people in the cave, and then lowered his head and said nothing.
Su thought that the little guy was unwilling, so he swore to Father Li that he would be his own.
Xiao Gang also stepped forward to take the little guy's hand and said that he would help him set up a grave in the future to worship his father and mother.
Li Xiaonuan didn't say anything at first. When the little one looked at her expectantly, she asked, "Do you have any requirements?" ”
The little guy nodded vigorously and said crisply: "My mother let me go back to live on the prairie in the northwest when I grow up." She said that it was our home. ”
It turns out that the little guy's mother doesn't talk about the Central Plains.
No wonder this little guy's eyes are so deep and charming, it turns out that he is a descendant of the Northwest Hui people.
"Your home? Your dad is not from the Central Plains? Li Xiaonuan grasped the point of the words.
"Not really. Steward Qing and Mrs. Butler are both from the Great Northwest Grassland. And my grandmother, who is in the Great Northwest, is the daughter of a tribal leader on the steppe. The little guy spoke amazingly.
Li Xiaonuan seemed to have caught something, but she didn't know for a while.
"You mean, you're all from the Great Northwest? So how did you get here? Li Xiaonuan couldn't believe what she heard.
On the side of the Great Northwest, it was previously the Western Liao Kingdom. After that, the Eagle King succeeded to the throne and sent troops to recover the territory of hundreds of miles of Western Liao.
However, the Eagle King disliked that the land of Naxiliao was too barren and desolate, and found it difficult to control, so he did not continue the conquest.
Now, the Western Liao Kingdom, which has been forced to shrink its territory, will be willing to be occupied by the Qi and Song dynasties.
But for more than ten years, General Wang's uncle and nephew guarded the northwest border pass, and it was still very stable.
I just don't know, why did this Uncle Qing couple get into Qi Song for so many years?
"Did your mother tell you what they came here for?" After thinking for a while, Li Xiaonuan asked again.
The little guy was still thinking about Li Xiaonuan's previous question, and when he heard Li Xiaonuan ask another one, he picked up the answer and returned: "My mother said that there are bad people who want to start a war and wipe out all the tribes in the northwest." ”
"Do you know who the bad guys are?" Li Xiaonuan is kind and seductive.
"I don't know. My mom and dad wouldn't let me go out to meet people. However, my mother said that the bad guys sold the daughters of the princess of Xiliao and many leaders of the northwest tribes to the Central Plains as slaves. They blamed the Qi and Song people and wanted to provoke a big war. The little guy wrinkled his little face and thought for a moment before saying.
Obviously, he was puzzled by what he was saying.
Li Xiaonuan was savoring the meaning of the little guy's words, and didn't notice the stunned looks of Su and Li Dad.
However, Xiao Gang still looked at Li Xiaonuan and the little guy who were talking innocently, and there was nothing unusual.
The cave was silent for a long time, until the little one's stomach made a loud gurgling sound, and everyone came back to their senses.
"Mother, burn all the barley and beans we brought out before. We're done, and it's dawn. When the time comes, let's go back to the city. Li Xiaonuan said to Su Shi.
After a while, Li Xiaonuan forgot about the colic in her abdomen. But there are some things that must be resolved.
For example, something needs to be replaced.
Fortunately, there is freshly burned hot ash, which is just right.
Su Shi and Xiao Gang stretched out the big baggage skin and enclosed a small private space in the cave. After Li Xiaonuan quickly solved the problem there, he sat back on the fire with a flushed face.
When Su Shi and Xiao Gang stretched the furoshiki open, the little guy patted his head and pulled his big burden and rummaged through.
After Li Xiaonuan took care of his own affairs, the little guy had already taken out a lot of things from his baggage.
Seeing Li Xiaonuan sitting down, the little guy motioned to Li Xiaonuan to look at those things.
"These are all evidence of the crimes of bad people that my mother asked me to put away before, saying that they are bad people. And the contents of this box, which my father gave me last night, saying that it can help you. The little guy pointed to the things in front of him one by one.
Li Xiaonuan was shocked on the spot and was a little overwhelmed. Could it be that this little guy is a little angel sent by heaven to save their family from danger?
On the ground, there are some illustrated paper and cloth, and some very elaborate gold, silver, iron, bronze medals and so on.
What made Li Xiaonuan the most happy was the box of letters.
The content of the letter is obviously to issue an order to Uncle Qing, or to give a task. Uncle Qing should be the executor of the order.
Those letters were written in Chinese characters and some in foreign languages.
It can be seen that Uncle Qing is used as a microphone for the two parties, in which they communicate with each other.
Of course, it is also necessary to gather some information and execute certain commands.
"Little one, our family is grateful to you. Don't worry, I will correct your father's name so that both of them can return to their roots. And I will get justice for them. Li Xiaonuan was so excited that she was incoherent.
With such a merit, Li Xiaonuan can confidently make some harmless requests to the emperor. (To be continued.) )
