Li Ziyu put things in the bamboo basket and left the meat stall, and looked around for the vegetable stall. There was only one radish and only half a cabbage at home, so she had to buy some vegetables and go back.

When I was looking for vegetables, I met an old man who bought onions, ginger and garlic. She saw that the old man was wearing thin clothes, shivering from the cold, so she wrapped his green onions, ginger and garlic. The old man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and walked away with the silver money all the way.

Not far ahead, I really saw a vegetable stall, and Li Ziyu hurried over.

The vegetable seller was a woman in her thirties, who was thinly dressed, with a sad face, and sat on the ground leaning on a bamboo basket, not afraid of the cold on the ground. He was accompanied by a little boy of five or six years old. The boy was dressed quite warmly, but he looked as if he was sick, and snuggled listlessly in the woman's arms, coughing from time to time.

In front of the woman was a pile of cabbage and turnips, and every time someone passed by, she looked at the passers-by with longing, but few of them cared.

Li Ziyu came to the vegetable stall and found that it was as fresh as the cabbage and radish he bought a few days ago, but the vegetable seller was no longer the old man.

Li Ziyu squatted down and looked at the cabbage and asked, "Auntie, how do you sell this dish?" ”

The woman was surprised and incoherent: "Huh? Well, that white cabbage is fifteen wen a catty, and radish is ten wen and ten wen a catty. ”

Li Ziyu carefully looked at the woman selling vegetables, and saw that the woman had tears in her eyes, and her chapped lips were bloodless. The boy in his arms was flushed and panting, and he saw that he was sick.

Li Ziyu couldn't help but think of her younger brothers and sisters at home, and remembered the scene when she first came, thanks to no one getting sick, or it was a dead end. Needless to say, the child in front of him must be selling money to treat diseases, or he will not take the child out to sell vegetables on a cold day. It must be waiting for the money to buy groceries and treat the child.

Li Ziyu decided to help her and look at this pile of vegetables, cabbage and radish together, about twenty or thirty catties. He said, "Auntie, I want all of your dishes, give it to you, this is the money for the dishes, take your brother to see a doctor." With that, Li Ziyu handed her about a tael of broken silver, and began to pack up the cabbage and radish in the bamboo basket.

The woman was dumbfounded, and stammered, "It's too much, little girl, you give too much, I can't find it without change." ”

Li Ziyu said while loading vegetables into the bamboo basket: "Auntie, don't look for it, you can hurry up and take your brother to see a doctor." By the way, when you are looking for a medical center, you go north along Huating Street, and there is a medical center called Yongfutang at the entrance of Wutong Street to the west, so you must not go to Qianzhitang in East Lane, remember? ”

The woman listened carefully to Li Ziyu's words, and said hesitantly: "I can't read. ”

Li Ziyu frowned in annoyance, but no, there are very few literate people here, how can an ordinary peasant woman be literate. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I remembered, that medical hall was hanging a pretense." When you get there, you ask someone, look for a medical center under the guise of it, and you will definitely be able to find it. ”

The woman gratitatively grabbed the broken silver, bowed to Li Ziyu again and again, and was so excited that tears flowed down, crying and saying, "Thank you!" You little girl's heart is so good! To tell you the truth, my mother-in-law died of illness two days ago, my father-in-law was also sick in bed, and my son was also reported to be sick by my father-in-law, and the family had no money. This is the last dish in the house, if you can't sell it," the woman cried bitterly as she hugged her son.

Li Ziyu sighed, picked up the woman and said, "Auntie, don't cry, you see that my brother is scared." ”

The woman hurriedly stopped her tears and looked at her son. Sure enough, when I saw my son's tearful eyes, his eyes were full of fear. She hurriedly wiped away her tears, picked up her son, picked up the bamboo basket beside her, and finally bowed to Li Ziyu, and hurriedly walked towards Huating Street.

Seeing the woman walking away, Li Ziyu also picked up the bamboo basket and continued to walk around the market.

After walking a short distance, I saw a stall selling apples. If you look closely, it's still the same young man in his twenties last time, only this time he is wearing cotton shoes on his feet. And the clothes were no longer tattered, and they were all mended with needles and threads.

It may be Li Ziyu who bought his apple first, the young man still remembers Li Ziyu, and when he saw Li Ziyu coming over from afar, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Little sister, do you still buy fruit?" You see, how fresh? Buy some more. ”

Li Ziyu stood in front of the apple stall and thought about how much to buy. Thinking that fruits are not common here, I bought a few catties more.

"Weigh me ten pounds." Li Ziyu didn't ask the price and said.

The young man's thin face turned into a flower with a smile, and he hurriedly picked out a larger apple and weighed it for her.

Li Ziyu asked while picking apples into the scale: "Which village is the eldest brother from?" How could there be such fresh fruit? ”

"I'm from Linshan Village, and there is a Pingpo fruit forest in the far away mountain behind us, and no one has discovered it yet. Little sister, I'll tell you, you can't tell you. The young man lowered his voice and solemnly instructed.

Li Ziyu also nodded seriously: "I know, big brother, I won't say it." ”

Li Ziyu handed the young man a hundred dollars, and the young man finally added two more apples before Li Ziyu turned around and left.

As soon as Li Ziyu left, a few people gathered in front of the apple stall, some asked the price, and some people listened to the price and bought it directly, which made the young man happy.

When Li Ziyu walked to the place where the carriage was parked, she saw that it was not early, and hurriedly beckoned the coachman to hurry.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the foot of the hillside of Li Ziyu's house.

The hillside of Li Ziyu's house is a gentle slope, and the path from her door to the bottom of the hillside was paved with some stones by their sister and brother. Beneath the hillside was a small flat land, which was now covered with grass, and to the south of the flat was the small river. The river was sparsely surrounded by trees of different heights, one of which was a thick locust with leafy branches, and the dry branches stretched out like a giant umbrella on the edge of the flat ground, like a guard guarding the home on the hillside. The waist-deep wild grass in the woods swayed in the cold wind, and the surroundings became more and more bleak and desolate.

Li Ziyu untied the bamboo basket and moved the things in the car to the bamboo basket one by one. Because the cloth is packed in an oilcloth bag, it is not afraid of oil, so the cloth is placed underneath, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books are placed on it.

The coachman looked at Li Ziyu with an expressionless face and didn't speak.

Li Ziyu looked at the coachman gratefully and said, "Uncle coachman, thank you really today!" You see, on the slope is my house, go to my house and drink some water, you tie the horse under that tree, it's safe. ”

The coachman's expression fluctuated for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, it was back to the same. He shook his head and got into the car, and hurried to the same road without looking back, and after a while, the car was gone.

Li Ziyu watched the coachman walk away, knowing that the boss behind Wu Fan was afraid that something would happen to her, so he sent a coachman who knew kung fu, and she was very grateful.

Here, I haven't tried what I'm capable of. It is said that the ancient masters can fly around and I don't know if it's true, even if so, she Li Ziyu will not sit still, and it shouldn't be a problem to protect herself with her own skills. As long as they don't bother to deal with their siblings, she can still deal with occasional faults.

Li Ziyu thought all the way up the hill, and when she saw the door of her home, her heart was instantly filled with warmth.
