The little boy glanced up at her, then pursed his mouth with an aggrieved look.

Seeing his tears dripping from his face, Luo Lan touched his head with some reluctance and asked:

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you? ”

The little boy lowered his head and shook his head, "No, Xiao Er said, my mother doesn't need to take medicine, just wait for death, but I don't want her to die, I don't want to be without a mother, I don't want to be a child without a mother." ”

His words made Luo Lan stunned, and his words made her heart even more sour.

A motherless child is the most pitiful person in the world.

She patted the child on the shoulder and asked softly:

"What's wrong with your mother?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, my mother just sometimes has a stomachache, and it hurts for a while, but the pain is getting worse and worse these days." ”

"Don't you have anyone else in your house? Where's your dad? ”

The little boy pursed his lips and shook his head, "My father doesn't know where he went, probably dead, my mother refuses to say, if my mother dies again, I will be the only one in the family." ”

The initial domain name

Speaking of this, the little boy's tears fell, and Luo Lan's heart was sour, as a medical worker, she couldn't ignore such a thing.

She patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"Where's your mother? Take me to see it. ”

The little boy looked up at her and asked with wide eyes, "Sister knows how to heal?" ”

Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "I understand some." ”

"Great, I've looked for a few Langzhong, but I don't have the money to pay for the consultation, no one wants to go, I said to exchange the old hen at home, and they don't agree, sister, you go, can I use the chicken as the medical fee?"

How much does it cost to use chicken?

Luo Lan suddenly felt that this little boy's thoughts were very clear, he knew how to pay for money at such a young age.

She nodded and chuckled, "Okay, I agree." ”

The little boy happily took her hand and prepared to run home.

Luo Lan turned back to Ah Cai and Ah Hong and said:

"You go back first, boil the chicken soup, and then serve it to the prince when I go back, and keep the pig's trotters for tomorrow."

Ah Cai looked at her with some concern, "I'll accompany you, Ah Hong can go back alone." ”

"No, you don't."

Luo Lan shook his head directly, "I'll be back in a while, you go back and wait for me." ”

"But ......"

Ah Cai was still a little worried, for fear that something would happen to the princess.

Seeing that this girl's stubborn temper came up, she could only say to Ah Hong:

"Okay then, Ah Hong will go back to boil the medicine first, and Ah Cai will accompany me on a trip."

Hearing this, Ah Cai's face showed a smile, she stuffed the black chicken in her hand into Ah Hong's hand, and instructed her a few more words, and then followed Luo Lan and the little boy to walk away quickly.

The little boy told Luo Lan on the way that his name was Xiao Zhi, he had never seen his father since he was a child, and his mother relied on sewing and mending for others to earn some silver to supplement the family, and the family raised three old hens, and the eggs they usually laid were also sold for money, and the life of the family was still passable, but it was a big expense for his mother to buy him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He muttered all the way, and seemed to be a very talkative child.

Luo Lan couldn't help but ask:

"Are you literate?"

"Yes."

The little boy replied directly and confidently:

"My mother is literate, so she taught me to write since I was a child, my mother said, I want to gain fame when I grow up, win glory for her, earn money for her, let her live a good life, by the way, I will also memorize the three-character scripture, the Analects, the Book of Poetry, and the surname of the hundred families."

Looking at his arrogant look, Luo Lan suddenly became very interested in his mother.

A woman, with a child, turned out to be literate.

In this era, there are not many literate women, and ordinary women from ordinary families will not be sent to the school, literate and literate are either official ladies or ladies from large families.

They walked a long way, passed through a few alleys, Xiao Zhicai pointed to a dilapidated courtyard not far away and said:

"That's my home."

Looking at the crumbling house, Luo Lan admired the woman who lived in it, she had to make her children literate in such an environment, she was really a great mother.

The door is open, and it seems that the thieves will not come when this place is so poor, and besides, the door does not seem to make much difference between closing and not closing.

As soon as Xiao Zhi entered the courtyard gate, he began to shout:

"Mother, I'm back, I'm bringing Lang Zhong here."

After a while, a voice came out from inside,

"You kid, didn't you tell you not to look for Langzhong? What should you do if you run out of pen, ink and paper money next month? ”

When she said this, the woman came out of the house, and when she saw Luo Lan, she was stunned at first, and then asked curiously:

"Who is this?"

Xiao Zhibu explained:

"Mother, this is a girl, she said, you can take our old hen to pay for the consultation, you just let her take a look, otherwise Xiaozhi is afraid."

The woman touched Xiao Zhi's head, sighed gently, and then said to Luo Lan:

"Then there's Miss Lao."

She bowed her head again and said to Xiao Zhi:

"You pour a glass of water for the other sister, and my mother and Lang Zhong come into the house to talk."

Xiao Zhi nodded happily, and then ran to pour water.

Xiao Zhi's mother smiled bitterly at Luo Lan and welcomed her into the house.

This is a house that looks shabby, but it is very neat, Luo Lan stood at the door and looked at it, the woman was a little embarrassed to tuck the broken hair in front of her forehead, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I'm a little messy here, let's sit casually, girl."

Luo Lan chuckled and shook his head, "No, it's good here, it's really clean." ”

The woman smiled bitterly, "Let the girl laugh, the family is poor, and there are no decent things." ”

As she spoke, she sat down at the table, poured a glass of water for Luo Lan, and pushed it in front of her, "Girl, please drink water." ”

Luo Lan waved his hand and refused:

"Don't drink it, let's check your pulse first!"

The woman shook her head directly, her hands kneading each other restlessly, silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Girl, can I ask you something?"

Luo Lan looked at her in some surprise, "Please speak." ”

The woman pursed her somewhat dry mouth, looked up, looked at her with longing eyes, and pleaded in a low voice:

"I begged the girl to tell Xiao Zhi directly, is my illness okay?"

"Why?" Luo Lan looked at her puzzled, "I haven't checked your pulse yet, how do you know what's wrong with you?" ”

The woman let out a long sigh, "You don't have to look at me to know that I can't be cured of this disease, but I don't want him to know, I think I can earn more money during this time, and if I really leave in the future, he won't be left without anything." ”

At this time, the woman's eyes were red, tears kept falling down her cheeks, and she whispered in her mouth:

"Xiaozhi, this kid is careful, when he sees that I am uncomfortable, he will run to find Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong can't find it, so he goes to buy me medicine, I don't listen to me, so I can only beg you, beg the girl to be fulfilled."
