It is more difficult to travel at night than during the day.

Li Shimin would never have thought that Gu Tianya would take him away for an hour.

It's ten miles.

A small village finally appeared ahead.

Li Shimin didn't ask the purpose of this trip, he first looked at the little girl in Gu Tianya's arms, his tone was obviously shocked, and he slowly exhaled a breath of white air, and said, "This kid has walked so far alone in order to give you a gift." At a young age, the tenacity is abnormal, the only pity is that it is a female baby, otherwise it will definitely make a big difference in the future. ”

Gu Tianya didn't seem to hear it, and continued to move forward with the little girl, until he reached the head of the small village, he turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and said very slightly: "You be quiet, this child is asleep." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang behind Li Shimin, and said softly: "Which of the two of you can take a hand and help me hold this child for a while." ”

The two generals were obviously puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then said softly: "He wants to take me to see something, and it's inconvenient for the child to see it." ”

Only then did the two generals understand.

Duan Zhixuan hurriedly took two steps forward, cautiously stretched out his hand, and said softly: "I'll hold it." ”

Gu Tianya nodded and handed the child over lightly.

Only then did he look at Li Shimin again, and suddenly sighed in his mouth, and said with a little bitterness: "You just praised this child for her tenacity, saying that she was able to walk so far alone, and now I tell you, this is not tenacity at all......"

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why is that?" ”

Gu Tianya looked up at the sky, as if muttering a few words, and said, "I'm just used to hardship." ”

Li Shimin stood on the spot, only to feel a bang in his head.

I'm just used to it.

That's why a child can go so far.

Even in the cold wind, you can persevere.

Gu Tianya suddenly raised his feet and walked directly towards the village, and as he walked, he said: "I chose to escort this child tonight, I really want to lead you over to have a look, and I will ask the second brother not to be too shocked, and never disturb the child's mother." ”

"The child's mother?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely felt that things were about to come to light.

Seeing that Gu Tianya had already entered the village, he hurriedly raised his heels and went up, as for Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang and others, they were waiting at the entrance of the village with the little girl in their arms.

Gu Tianya led Li Shimin all the way, and suddenly seemed to be muttering to himself, "At this hour, the little girl's mother should have gone home, so let's come at the right time." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked around for a long time, identified the direction, and continued to walk forward. Li Shimin remained silent and followed him silently.

Gradually, a small grass hut appeared in front of me, low and collapsed, giving people the illusion that it would be blown down by the cold wind at any time.

Gu Tianya glanced back at Li Shimin, signaling the two to approach cautiously, Li Shimin nodded slowly, and the two tiptoed over.

This small grass hut didn't even have a yard, but the snow in front of the door was clean, and because there was no snow on the ground, it would not creak when stepping on it, and the two of them slowly walked to the edge of the house and cautiously approached the edge of the window.

Gu Tianya stood on the left side of the window, Li Shimin stood on the right side of the window, and the two of them bent down together and looked in through the gap in the window.

Li Shimin's face quickly became shocked.

But I saw that in the small grass house, almost all the walls of the house were bare, only some hay was spread in the corner of the wall, and the family was so poor that they didn't even have a bed to sleep on.

Hearing Gu Tianya speak very softly, he said: "There are pawnshops in Miyun County, and the bed board can also be sold for a few yuan, because large families can split the bed board to make firewood." ”

The implication is self-explanatory, this family's beds have been sold to pawnshops.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, but he didn't speak, he could faintly feel that what Gu Tianya wanted him to see was definitely not this.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard the sound of 'vomiting and vomiting' in the grass house, Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly leaned on the gap in the window again to watch.

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a woman in the corner of the room, who was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a rattan basket with one hand, and her other hand was thrust into her mouth.

She was picking at her throat.

"Gwoe, gag!"

When people pick their throats, they will vomit, this is common sense, everyone knows it.

So the woman was vomiting too, and she was vomiting a lot of things.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face showed unbelievable shock, he had already seen clearly that the things he spit out were grain with chaff......

The woman vomited all the food into the rattan basket.

from the stomach, to the basket.

After spitting up the food, her face was pale, but she seemed to be relieved, and her face showed indescribable tenderness.

She looked like she had let go of a big rock in her heart.

She looked like she had completed the big task that had to be done today.

Li Shimin couldn't understand why this woman was so bad about herself.

At this time, Gu Tianya's voice sounded again, although it was extremely low, it was like a thunderbolt, and said in his ear: "Second brother, have you seen it, the grain is stained with blood, do you know why it is stained with blood?" Because the woman's stomach is broken. ”

Li Shimin was stunned.

I only heard Gu Tianya sigh, and said in a very bitter tone: "She has to pick her throat every day, and she has to vomit food once a day, although I don't know how long she has been doing this, but I know that her stomach is useless." ”

"For... For... Why? ”

Li Shimin only felt that his voice was trembling.

But seeing Gu Tianya look at him, he said with a difficult tone: "The reason is very simple, although she works hard, she can't earn enough food to feed her children, but as a mother, she doesn't want to give up as long as she has a little way, so she chooses to steal ......."

Gu Tianya paused when he said this, his eyes seemed to have some deep meaning, and he looked at Li Shimin again and said, "Second brother, I think you should have guessed that this woman who spits out the grain, she is working in the granary. ”

Li Shimin seemed to be stupid, and stood by the window in a daze.

The woman worked in the granary, but she did not earn enough food to feed her children.

So she chose to eat it secretly, take it home and spit it out.

Pick your throat once a day and spit out food desperately.

I don't know how long she's been doing this, but I know that her stomach is broken, because the grain is stained with blood.

It was blood in her stomach.

After all, people are not animals, God does not give people the function of giving back, obviously God has not given it, but this woman can do it, the reason is very simple, she wants to raise children.

At this time, I only heard Gu Tianya speak again, and said in an extremely difficult voice: "Her errand in the granary is responsible for drying in the sun, and whenever she finishes work, her whole body will be searched, but it is impossible for those people to find her handle for stealing grain, because the tool she used to steal grain is her own stomach." Warden, self-thief, hey, that's a nice way to do it. ”

Warden, self-theft?

Li Shimin's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and after a long time, he smiled with great difficulty, and said, "This is the first time I have revisited the sentences I have learned. ”

Wardens, steal yourself!

It's a derogatory word.

However, putting it on this woman made this derogatory word burn brightly.

Li Shimin suddenly looked at the room again, as if muttering to himself: "She raised her child in this way?" ”

Gu Tianya sighed bitterly, and suddenly turned his head to dodge, he didn't want Li Shimin to notice that his tears blurred his eyes, but he just let out a choked laugh softly in his mouth.

As if to explain, he said: "There is a great thing in the world, called the mother of the child. ”

A woman is a mother.

She used her stomach to steal back the food that fed her children. Every bite of the child eats is stained with blood from the mother's stomach.

At this moment, I suddenly heard another noise in the room, as if the woman was muttering, with incomparable tenderness in her voice, and kept saying: "My girl should come back soon, I have to wash the food quickly, I can't let her see that I vomit blood, otherwise it will frighten her, her father, don't worry, I have the ability to do it, our girl is not hungry, but my stomach is getting more and more painful, I don't know how long I can last, my father, I really miss you, I think you can rub my stomach, because my stomach really hurts." ……”

This muttering finally showed a woman's weakness. And Li Shimin, the tenacious King of the Tang Dynasty, finally couldn't bear the tears overflowing with a pair of tiger eyes.

He already understood that this was what Gu Tianya wanted to show him.

But he knew that Gu Tianya didn't just take him to take a look.

There must be a follow-up, and that's why it's so.

Gu Tianya put so much effort into it, he must have some kind of request for him.

If someone else played this trick on him, Li Shimin was afraid that he would already have murderous intent, but Gu Tianya played this trick on him, Li Shimin actually had the urge to agree.

He didn't know what Gu Tianya wanted yet. But he had already begun to say yes in his heart.

He looked straight at Gu Tianya, waiting for this 'brother-in-law' to make a request.
