Chapter 13
Chang Xile has never seen such a gaze, and he doesn't know if it's because of preconceived ideas, Chang Xile always feels that these eyes are like wild tigers in the animal world, but after seeing him, they have become the eyes of a zoo tiger.
Chang Xile smiled secretly, he really liked to think more and more, shook his head and called the doctor,
"Doctor, he's awake."
The doctor had been telling the apprentice to keep an eye on the situation, and when he heard that the little boy was awake, he hurriedly walked in. But as soon as he wanted to get closer to check the little boy's situation, the little boy's original docile appearance became fierce, baring his teeth, and he looked ready to rush towards the doctor and tear it apart.
Fortunately, the little boy was still injured and was held by Chang Xile, but he didn't really do anything to scare him.
The doctor was startled, fell straight back, and sat on the ground.
The little boy glared at the doctor, bared his teeth, and was ready to go. He pounced whenever the doctor approached.
The doctor was stared at so much that his scalp was numb, and he trembled and said, "How can this kid ......?"
"Maybe it's because there are few people in the mountains, so it's more xenophobic, you wait, I'll coax first." Chang Xile's doubts in his heart were even stronger, but he subconsciously wanted to cover up for the little boy.
Chang Xile stroked his head with his hand and whispered: "It's okay, no one will want to hurt you, he is a doctor, and he wants to treat your injuries." ”
The little boy glanced at him, and his originally fierce appearance immediately turned obedient, and he even arched his head in Chang Xile's arms. A pair of watery eyes, a look of dependence, and a low moan of 'woo'.
Seeing this, the doctor couldn't help laughing, "Chang Xiucai, this kid is destined for you." ”
Chang Xile didn't expect the little boy to listen to him so much and be so attached to him, maybe it was because he was injured before that the first person he saw was himself. In his previous life, he was always happy at a young age, he has always liked children, but his health is not good, he has never talked about love, if he marries early, he can have such a big child.
Although this child looks a little wolf now, he is inexplicably hateful and inexplicably in his eyes, probably thinking that this child is an outsider like him.
"Shall we show the doctor how your injuries are healed?" Chang Xile pointed to the doctor, and then pointed to the wound on his body.
The little boy blinked, his eyes were so clear that he couldn't see the ferocity he had before.
Chang Xile grabbed his hand and slowly stretched out to the doctor, seeing that he did not resist, the doctor had the opportunity to help him see the injury. However, you can't get too close, or you'll be warned by baring your teeth.
"There are no internal injuries, although the skin injuries are severe, they do not hurt their lives, and they can be taken care of. It's just that this kid is different from ordinary people, and now he is so dependent on you, I don't know what Chang Xiucai should do with him? ”
The little boy curled his body like a pet and lay in Chang Xile's arms, and Chang Xile stroked the uninjured part of his back with his hand. The little boy squinted with satisfaction, and from time to time arched his head. But as soon as someone else approached, he immediately changed to a fierce look, glaring and baring his teeth in warning.
At first glance, he knew that there was something wrong, but the doctor thought that the little boy was stupid, and he didn't think about anything else. I also think this explains why he was left behind by his other companions. If you're still a fool when you're injured, you naturally don't care.
Chang Xile couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, whether the little boy was a tiger child as he guessed, or a brain problem that the doctor thought, he couldn't integrate into human life normally. Besides, he is still so young and has no family and relatives, leaving him alone is really unreassuring.
"What is the general situation?"
The doctor sighed, "There is an almshouse in the county, but it has long been abandoned, and it is no different from wandering outside." This kid got so much money from selling tigers, and no one was to protect him, but he was afraid that it would be a curse rather than a blessing. ”
Chang Xile frowned, not knowing what to do for a while. In his previous life, he would have had many ways to place this little boy, but now it is not so convenient. It is impossible to discard this little boy at will, if something happens, he will not be at peace in his life.
The doctor could see his entanglement, and said: "It's better for Chang Xiucai to adopt this child, he only recognizes you now, and no one else can get close." Chang Xiucai's character is trustworthy, and he will definitely take good care of him, and he will not be greedy for his silver taels, but it is difficult to say if he is replaced by someone else. After all, this child is not small, and you can hire someone to serve you after a few years, so you don't have to worry about it then. ”
Chang Xile was a little moved when he heard this, but he didn't live alone now, and it was not easy for him to make decisions directly.
And when the two brothers came back, as soon as they heard about the situation, they immediately responded.
Chang Xiwang said: "This kid has a fate with our family, if it weren't for him, maybe the big worm would have come for us." Take it, but it's just a matter of one more bite to eat. ”
Chang Xisheng thought about it and nodded: "If you want to leave him behind, it's not okay, take it back, I should find you a companion." ”
I don't know if the little boy can understand, but at this time, a pair of watery eyes looked at Chang Xile, which made his heart soften. The little boy was simply cleaned, revealing a handsome little face, and his eyes were even darker, clearer and more beautiful. looks very good, which makes people inevitably love it with an extra layer.
"Doctor, then I'll bother you to help run errands."
The doctor smiled kindly, "This is a good deed, not a trouble." Besides, you just sold me such good things at such a low price, which is a small favor. ”
Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang only knew that the tiger had been sold at this time, and when they heard that they were still from the Qian family, Chang Xiwang jumped up directly.
"Little Five! Isn't that what the shopkeeper Wu is trying to blackmail you! No, we can't be bullied by them like this, I'm going to get that big worm back! ”
Chang Xisheng also frowned, "How can this Qian family not go away!" We can't afford to lose that. ”
Chang Xile hurriedly stopped the two, "Second brother, third brother, don't worry, we didn't suffer, we even made a profit." After all, this big worm is also for sale, so there is no need to cause trouble......"
"We're not afraid of him!" Chang Xiwang directly interrupted Chang Xile's words.
Chang Xile said: "Listen to me first, our two families have already returned to the road and the bridge, so why bother making trouble." I only think of them as buyers, how and how. This Daoxiang County is so big, you can't look up and look down, so you don't need to make too much trouble. ”
The doctor also advised: "Sometimes you have to bow your head to be a man, after all, you don't lose and you make money, it's better to have more than less." ”
Chang Xiwang was still not angry, "Second brother, what do you think about this?" ”
Chang Xisheng thought for a while and asked, "Is there really no loss?" Although we took in this child, the money is his own. Let's forget if we lose something, we can't lose him. ”
The doctor said: "Our Daoxiang County is not as good as other places, and five hundred lines of silver are already very good." If it is sold to the house, it can be more, but it stinks when it is shipped, and the cost will come up. This road is not good, and you may encounter mountain bandits. ”
Chang Xisheng calmed down when he heard this, and Chang Xiwang could only admit it when he saw that both of them had this attitude.
"Originally, it was said that this child would decide for himself what to do with this big worm, but now ...... Alas. ”
The little boy didn't know what they were talking about at all, and only glared angrily when Chang Xiwang couldn't control the volume, just expressing his feelings, not as threatening as before.
Chang Xiwang smiled and said: "This kid is a little stupid, but he is a short-term protector." He can't be the master like this, but fortunately, we don't cheat him. ”
These words comforted the three brothers.
The doctor said: "The household registration matter will not be completed for a while, do you have to wait for news in the county or go back first?" ”
Without waiting for Chang Xile to express his position, the two brothers hurriedly shook their heads, how much does it cost to wait in the county! The worst shop in the inn costs several copper plates a day, and you have to find food, and the things in the town are not cheap! I didn't take the huge amount of money from selling tigers as my own.
Chang Xile asked, "Can this child's injuries move?" Can I continue treatment here? ”
The doctor said: "You should be careful, he has some skin injuries, you take back the medicine I dispensed, and remember to change it every day." As long as you don't have a fever during this time, it's fine. After five days, the household registration is completed, and you can bring it over to me to see. ”
Chang Xile breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he couldn't do it today, so he could only come over next time.
"You have to have a name on the household register, he definitely doesn't know what his name is, why don't you give him a name."
Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang looked at Chang Xile together, this matter must be done by Xiucaigong. Now the newly-born children in Taoyuan Village are all named with Chang Xile's help.
"What's your name, little one? Or what do you want to call it? Chang Xile asked.
The little boy didn't know what Chang Xile was talking about, and looked at Chang Xile with bright eyes.
Chang Xile knew that he would not give an answer, and thought for a while, "He will have a new beginning from now on, 'Yu', with the meaning of a new day." I don't know what the surname is, just follow our surname, Chang Yu, will you be called Chang Yu in the future? ”
The little boy blinked, his long, curled eyelashes like a fan.
"Chang Yu." Chang Xile pointed to the little boy, "You will be called Chang Yu in the future." ”
The little boy tilted his head, which was tightly supported by the strips of cloth, and let out a low 'woo', as if in response.
Chang Xile couldn't help laughing, touching his head with his hand, and the little boy arched like a kitten.
The ox cart was already on the way back, and Chang Xile was holding an oversized baby sleeping with his eyes closed in his arms, and there was a sense of unreality.
Originally, I came out to do errands, but why did I pick up a child who brought his own dry food? It's incredible to think about.
Chang Yu didn't know this, he lost too much blood from his injury, he woke up for a while, and he fell asleep again not long after, and the bumps in the ox cart didn't wake him up. There were still futons and some food piled up on the ox cart, and Chang Xile originally wanted to buy some cloth for Chang Yu to make clothes, but Chang Xisheng stopped him. Say that there are people in the family who can weave, don't waste this money.
The cloth woven by the women of the family has to be sold out at a low price, and if you buy it at a high price, you will be scolded to death when you go home. Especially when Chang Xisheng said that it was not Chang Xile who scolded him but himself, Chang Xile suddenly didn't dare to mention it again. But Chang Xisheng didn't say anything when he brought it back to eat, after all, Chang Yu had an injury and had to make up for it, and there were no such things at home.
"The front is the fairy child's pass, do you think this child will be the fairy child?" Chang Xiwang pointed to the front.
When Chang Xile heard this, his eyes lit up, it seems that he is not the only one who thinks so!
Chang Xisheng said: "What nonsense, if the fairy child is injured, how can he be injured by that big worm?" ”
Chang Xiwang scratched his head, "I didn't think that I heard the old man say that once upon a time, a child was taken away by a wolf, and the child was not eaten, but was raised, and it became similar to a wolf." Maybe that's the same with this kid! ”
Chang Xisheng glanced at him angrily, "You want to say that the big worm before was actually killed by this child?" You say why don't you go to heaven, you can talk nonsense and take other people's braggings seriously. ”
Chang Xile couldn't help but sneer, his second brother is quite fashionable, and he will be able to use Internet buzzwords.
"Look, even Xiao Wu is laughing at you, you are all a father, why are you still like a child, full of tune."
Chang Xiwang and Chang Xile suddenly sneered, and the voices that originally wanted to agree were swallowed back.
Chang Xiwang looked left and right, and when he saw the pile of money on the ox cart, he couldn't help but say: "This kid has so much money now, how long will it take to spend it!" ”
Chang Xisheng couldn't help frowning, "We have to discuss the matter of this money with Li Zheng and the clan elders when we go back." ”
Chang Xiwang was puzzled, "Why, this money is not ours." ”
"Just because it's not ours, we have to discuss with them what to do, if this kid is an ordinary person, he will be a fool when he becomes an adult. If you don't make a good deal, others still think that if we take in this child for money, we will be drowned by spitting, and the reputation of the fifth brother will have to be wanted. ”
Chang Xile was just about to say something, when suddenly a group of people jumped out of the nearby forest and surrounded their ox carts. All of them are fierce and vicious, and they look like they are not good.
The leader waved the big knife in his hand, made a 'whirring' sound, and shouted:
"Stop for Lao Tzu! If you don't want to die, hand over the silver to Lao Tzu! ”
