Chapter 84
Although the two children are no longer life-threatening after treatment, they are still sick and need careful care to recover. They didn't rush to ask them what was going on, but placed them in the rooms that had been arranged before.
The doctor's wife had already cleaned the two children before, and because they had begun to grow lice, their hair had been shaved off, and the clothes inside and outside were bought by Chang Xisheng in the county. The two children cleaned up inside and out, although they looked pitiful as skinny, they didn't get dirty. The little one looks pretty good, but it's too thin.
Cao's second sister-in-law and Ding's third sister-in-law found out the old clothes of the children's childhood, and now the conditions of the Chang family are good, and they don't need to be new for three years and three years for the old ones, so they can still wear the old clothes.
"How did the widow's two children escape? I don't know what happened to the widow. Cao's second sister-in-law said.
Chang Xisheng said: "That widow is afraid that she is more than lucky, otherwise according to the widow's calf, she will definitely not let these two little ones run over like this." If it weren't for their fate, they would have died a long time ago. The doctor said that they were seriously injured this time, and it was definitely a blessing of the gods to be able to pick up a life, but fortunately they were young, and they could recover if they were raised slowly, otherwise they would definitely fall into the root of the disease. Moreover, the village was still several hours away from us, and there were sometimes wild beasts on the road, and the widow would not let the two children run out on their own unless she had to. ”
Everyone sighed when they heard this, they all hoped that there would be more survivors in the village, especially these two children were already miserable enough, and the days were just getting up, and this happened again. But fortunately, they are still alive, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
"It's been more than half a month since then, how did these two little ones come about? No wonder the two children are skinny and skinny, they have been raised by their mother to be white and fat, and their small appearance is still very thoughtful, and it is estimated that they have not eaten well in this month. Ding San's sister-in-law sighed.
Cao's second sister-in-law also nodded in response: "It's also a shame that they still remember us, and they even touched our house, if it falls elsewhere, I don't know what it will look like." ”
It's not that other families in other villages don't have compassion, it's that most people's financial situation does not allow it, and it is difficult to raise their own children, let alone two orphans.
Moreover, although the two children are lucky, many people are afraid that they will be afraid that the lives of the two will be too hard, and they are afraid of restraining themselves. Not to mention that a lot of money was spent on treating the two children, if it weren't for the Chang family's money, even if ordinary people could afford it, it would hurt the vitality of the family. Not to mention that you have to recuperate later, this is a bottomless pit.
"No matter what you say, it's not easy for the two children to pick up two lives, it's their blessing to touch our family, and God asked us to help them. Anyway, we don't have to miss these two mouthfuls of food now, so let's let them be at our house in the future. Daddy Chang spoke.
Everyone is not surprised by this result, after all, the two children are now homeless, if they don't care, then it is better not to save them in the first place. These two children are only four or five years old, and it is a dead word to let them out.
There are a lot of flowers now, and now there are people who have hit Taoyuan Village with their ideas.
Because Taoyuan Village is very lively as soon as it arrives for the New Year, it has been like this for several years, and its reputation has been out. In this way, everyone is attracted to it, and some people want to take the child away while the play is lively. Because everyone is in the village, the children have always been running around, so they didn't pay attention, and they really took a few captive this year.
Fortunately, Taoyuan Village has been sending people to guard the mountain pass, and when they saw that those people were sneaky and very suspicious, they went up to check. It was also those few who were unlucky, and they happened to meet Wang Dali guarding that day. Wang Dali is a good fighter, and he has been close to the Chang family over the years, and he has also learned two tricks from Chang Yu, and his force value is very high. Those crutches originally saw him alone, and wanted to fight him, but they were all cleaned up.
If you let others go, I'm afraid that one person will not only not be able to subdue them, but may also be cleaned up.
These kidnappers were beaten half to death by the villagers of Taoyuan Village and the people from other villages who came to Taoyuan Village, if Song Bangcheng hadn't stopped them, they would definitely have died. Now a few crutches have been pressed into the yamen, and when they leave, they have less gas to go in and more gas to go out, and they basically can't live long.
If Song Bangcheng wasn't afraid that everyone would be involved in human life, he wouldn't have stopped him, this kind of person would have been guilty of ten thousand deaths.
Liangguo punishes abductors very strictly, although they do not directly behead them, they will be tortured and exiled for thousands of miles, which is basically equivalent to being caught and dying.
Although Grandma Sun is still a little jealous that the lives of these two children are too hard, she doesn't dare to say anything, after all, they are also two lives, and they can't be left alone. Besides, they have civil and military people in their family, and they can suppress the evil spirit the most, and they don't feel that there is anything to worry about.
"What's that to say? What is the household registration? ”
Now everyone looked at Daddy Chang, raising the two children is not a big deal, a few more mouthfuls of food, but if it is officially adopted, it will be a big involvement. The law here states that even adopted sons are eligible to inherit property and are not separated from their own sons. It's just a folk custom, and the adopted son will get less, but after all, it still involves interests.
Father Chang was silent for a moment, "Let's raise it first, these two children are different from Yu Xiaozi, they know their father's ancestry." They're starting to remember now, and they need to know where they are. As for what will happen in the future, I can't see anything when I'm still young. ”
This means that there is room for it, if the two are obedient and sensible, they should be divided as a family when they grow up in the future, if they are a person who eats inside and outside, then it doesn't matter. This status is different from Chang Yu's originality, although the Chang family was so poor at that time, but there were still some fields and things, and Chang Yu's naturalization was actually dividing up everyone's property.
Therefore, at the beginning, Chang Yu brought his own dry food and silver money, and everyone would collect it not only because of his food expenses or something, but also to lay the foundation for the future distribution of property.
Everyone has no opinion on this, although if the two children become permanent family members, some of their interests will be crossed out, but now that their business has grown, they no longer know how to keep an eye on those few things as before. As long as it's not too much, it won't be too much of a concern.
Although Daddy Chang is kind, he is not old and confused, and he will not let his own son and grandson suffer.
If they become a family, it doesn't matter if they give it, if they are destined not to fall in love, then they won't get anything. Besides, it's too early to think about it.
Chang Xile and Chang Yu have no opinion, they have never cared too much about things outside their bodies, and Chang Yu doesn't even know how much money he has now. I never have a penny on my body, and if I want anything, I ask Chang Xile directly. However, this situation is rare, and usually before he speaks, Chang Xile buys him what he wants.
The recovery of the two children is very strong, and by the tenth day of the Chang family, they have become quite energetic, and the doctor's diagnosis is no longer serious, but they have to be well maintained.
However, it is estimated that he was frightened, so when he was awake, he always hugged each other and shrunk in the corner with a trembling and vigilant look.
I used to be able to pour something in when I was groggy, but when I woke up and wanted to feed them, they didn't open their mouths, and when someone approached, they started to shiver. Later, Chang Xile handed it to them, and they began to eat by themselves, but they were still not close to Chang Xile.
And what made the two children more accepting was Chang Jinhua, although she was still timid, not saying a word to her, at least she did not reject her, and was willing to be close to it.
Everyone estimates that this is because the two children used to come into contact with Chang Jinhua when they came to sell things with their mothers, so they accepted it. The others were unfamiliar to them, so they were very scared. The fear in their eyes was very sad, although they didn't know what happened at that time, but looking at the appearance of the two children, I was afraid that they saw the tragic scene at that time.
Chang Xisheng later inquired, probably guessing how the two children ran out.
When the mother and son were kicked out of their homes, no one in the village wanted to take them in, and a kind grandmother let them live in a dilapidated house far away from the village. That's probably why they escaped.
The house was also burned, and a corpse that had been burned to black charcoal was brought out from there, and I heard that the corpse had been hacked to death before it was burned.
The last hope of everyone when they heard this was also dashed, and the two children were really orphaned.
The two children were frightened, and had been huddled in the corner like small animals, and they were supposed to be allowed to come out to bask in the sun, but even the golden flowers could not take them out, so they had to give up.
Chang Xile tried to get the children to approach, after all, adults look too tall and look more terrifying, and children should be closer to children, but it is useless. Even if it is a very young child, although these two children are not rejected, they will not be close to acceptance, and there are only two people in the world.
Chang's family can't, so they can only let them slow down first, and it's not good to force it at the beginning. After all, after such a big disaster, even adults have to collapse, let alone such a young child. Fortunately, the two children knew that they went to the toilet, and Chang Jinhua did not reject them to wipe their bodies or anything, and they didn't have to be very diligent in winter, so they wouldn't get dirty again.
"Uncle, we're back."
Before Xing'er got home, she shouted at the door.
A group of children suddenly came into the courtyard, led by Xing'er, followed by Chang Yu.
Every morning, Chang Yu would take this group of children to practice, at least for an hour and a half each time. This time was too long for Chang Xile, so he didn't join in the fun. It is only at this time that Chang Xile and Chang Yu are separated, and they are basically stuck together at other times.
Chang Xile smiled: "Look at your eyebrows dancing, did you get a compliment today?" ”
Xing'er proudly puffed up her little chest, "I shot ten crossbows today, and I hit the bull's-eye!" ”
Chang Xile was amazed, "So powerful! ”
Although Chang Xile did not practice with him, he was clear about what and how they practiced every day. The distance of shooting the crossbow is not close, Chang Xile has tried, at most it is eight out of ten shots, and it rarely hits the bull's-eye. Apricot is so small, she is so accurate, and she admires her heart.
Apricot smiled toothlessly, and was obviously very satisfied with the result. But after a while, he smiled again and put on a stern appearance.
"It's nothing, Master said, you have to keep it like this. And we practice static shooting, but the prey or enemy will move, so it doesn't mean anything to be able to shoot now. ”
Chang Xile laughed, "Our apricots are really getting more and more calm. ”
Xing'er was a little embarrassed to be praised, and changed the topic: "Uncle, have Ping'er and An An woken up?" ”
Although the children have returned from morning exercise, it is still only the end of the day, that is, around 9 o'clock in the morning. Ping'er and An An's two children have been sleeping hard at night and are often woken up, so they wake up late in the morning.
I don't know what nightmare Ping'er had last night, she kept crying, and An An was also taken to cry, making everyone wake up. Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Ding coaxed for a long time to calm down the two children, probably tired, so the two children have not woken up yet.
Even if the adults of the Chang family are concerned, none of the children complained when they were woken up, and they even felt even more pitiful. Although she was obviously ostracized by her two children, she would visit them every day and hope that they would get better soon.
Chang Xile is glad that kind-hearted children are always liked. After all, when you get along with vicious people, you don't know when that viciousness will come towards you.
Ping'er and An An's attitude towards Chang Xile and Chang Yu is quite good, not so vigilant and defensive, but they can't get close. I don't know if it's an illusion, Chang Xile always feels that the two children look at him with a kind of ...... A sense of awe. It's like the kind of eyes that some people worship him as a god, trusting but not daring to approach.
Chang Xisheng said that it is estimated that the two children were under the impression of the widow, although Chang Xile does not appear often, but he will always meet, maybe every time the widow will say something to the two children, so let the two children remember him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have touched their home so accurately, and their home is not the closest home to the pass.
"I went to see ...... and was still asleep"
As he was talking, there was movement in the house, and Xing'er's children ran in regardless of whether they had changed their practice clothes or not.
After a while, a low cry came from inside, Chang Xile thought something was wrong, and hurriedly went in, and Chang Yu followed him.
As a result, as soon as I entered the house, I saw Ping'er hanging on Xing'er and An An hanging on Huaizi.
Chang Xile was stunned for a moment, this was the first time that the two children took the initiative to get close to someone so actively. Xing'er and Huaizi were obviously a little stunned, but they still remembered to hug their two children tightly.
Xing'er stroked Ping'er's head, "Don't cry, don't cry, my sister is here." ”
The two children, who had been reluctant to get close to people before, didn't know why they suddenly started clingy today. Chang Xile originally thought that it was because of the result of Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Ding calming them yesterday, but later found that the children had changed their practice clothes, and Ping'er and An An returned to their original appearance, but their eyes became dazed, and they looked at Xing'er and them in a daze, still not daring to approach.
Chang Xile is a little confused now, although this practice uniform is very handsome, and it sets off the whole person very spiritually, but it still has the effect of soothing people's hearts, right?
Chang Xile brought a clean practice uniform and handed it over, Ping'er and An An grabbed it and kept looking at the place on their chests where the Taoyuan Village logo was embroidered, which immediately made Chang Xile understand something.
Now as long as the people of Taoyuan Village buy and sell things outside, they will definitely wear clothes with this logo, and goods, ox carts, donkey carts, boxes, etc. will also be printed with this logo, as long as they see this sign, they will see the people of Taoyuan Village. If he was not mistaken, the widow had often instilled this in her two children, and perhaps before she died, she had them go to someone with the sign on them.
Because of her previous help, the widow was very grateful not only to Chang Jinhua, but also to the entire Taoyuan Village, especially the Chang family. It was once said that he had seen this widow bow down at the door of Chang's house. Perhaps because of this gratitude and trust, she asked her two children to find someone with this sign when she finally entrusted her.
The two children don't remember the people in Taoyuan Village very clearly, although Chang Jinhua often receives goods, but it was also a long time ago, and then he didn't receive much later. And in the past two years, there is no need for everyone to come and deliver goods, but people from Taoyuan Village go to the village to collect them, unless they don't catch up.
So these two children don't have much memory of the people in Changjia Village, but they remember this sign deeply.
Chang Xile told the Chang family about his inference, and the Chang family felt that this was the reason.
Chang Xisheng said: "I also said, I am out now, as long as I see our symbol, I feel steady." ”
"But isn't it, now everyone only recognizes this sign, didn't someone try to impersonate it before, and after being recognized, he was directly beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. Now not only in our village, but even people outside can recognize this. ”
"During this time for the Chinese New Year, everyone didn't wear this clothes. Because of this, these two dolls have been hanging around for so long, and they have forced themselves to find our village. If it were normal, I guess I would have found our people to take refuge a long time ago. ”
Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but sigh, she has always been soft-hearted, every time she thinks of the life experiences of these two children, she can't help wiping her tears when she sees the injuries on their bodies.
"No matter what, now people are doing well. Since these two children recognize this symbol, we will all wear clothes with this logo during this time, and we will talk about it when they can get used to it and be able to relax. Chang Dad said, everyone naturally has no opinion, on the contrary, everyone has always been very intimate with this logo, and they will only feel proud and proud when they wear it every day.
It was probably because the warmth of the Chang family infected the two children, and gradually these two children stopped rejecting outsiders, and the original frightened state slowly eased down. Although there is not much to say, it has slowly integrated into the Chang family.
They were afraid of touching their heartaches, so they didn't ask what had happened before. After all, there is still a long time, so there is no hurry for a while. Besides, it's good to be alive, and whatever happened before is a thing of the past. Even if you know what you can't get back, it's better to cherish the present.
And in the process, the training in Taoyuan Village also began. The appearance of the two children stimulated everyone's enthusiasm even more, so that everyone did not dare to forget the lesson that if they were weak, they would die.
Although there are not many people in that village, there are dozens of people, and those bandits are less than ten, but they can slaughter the whole village, if they are not too weak and not united enough, how can this be?
And the time of the abduction also made them feel first-hand that their village had begun to be coveted. If it weren't for Wang Dali's guard that day, several children would have been abducted. Therefore, if you don't improve yourself, you will be like that village after all, and you will be slaughtered by others.
Chang Yu was not in a hurry to train everyone at the beginning, but first conducted a physical fitness test.
Physical fitness tests include speed, weightlifting, accuracy, agility, endurance, etc., and these tests are all researched and formulated by him and Chang Xile during the Chinese New Year, so that you can roughly see the foundation and talent of these people, so as to teach them according to their aptitude.
The previous training ground was rearranged a year ago, because it was only used as a place for Chang Yu to practice martial arts and children to train, which is different from the requirements of the training militia, and many things are lacking. Chang Xile was basically arranged according to the training standards of the army in his previous life, and Chang Yu made some adjustments according to reality.
The physical fitness test took two days, including a weight-bearing long-distance run, and to Chang Xile's amazement, the vegetarian values of this group of people were very high. This is true not only for men, but also for women.
About everyone often does farm work on weekdays, women usually have to carry water and other heavy work, and here is a mountainous area, often have to climb mountains or something, so everyone's body is very good, and especially flexible. Seeing the woman rubbing up the tree like a monkey, Chang Xile felt that he had no face to live. He now wants to climb the designated tree, and if he doesn't have Chang Yu's help, it will take him half a day to succeed.
And the most fierce among them is Dayingzi, except for Wang Dali, there is no man with greater strength than her. However, she is not as good as some people in terms of sensitivity and accuracy when shooting, and when she learns some movements, she is also clumsier than others.
However, this is also because of the elite relationship of Taoyuan Village present, and Dayingzi is still better than ordinary people in all aspects.
Because it was the first group of people, the meaning was particularly different. So regardless of men and women, the ones who are picking are top-notch.
Although there are many people in the village, Kori knows every family well, and it is rare to make mistakes in selecting people.
After testing, Chang Yu also had a spectrum of everyone's respective situations, and the training officially began.
