Chapter 49: Auntie
Xiao Mao raised his head and looked at Wen Lin. Nodding. Wen Lin slowed down his voice and continued to coax Xiao Mao, "Xiao Mao, your mother will not die." Let this brother go and show your mother. ”
Xiao Mao whimpered and nodded. "Brother Long, go and help take a look."
"Good". After the examination, Long Qing said, "Internal injuries, plus malnutrition, if not treated properly, it may not be two days."
Wen Lin looked at the environment, the room was almost empty except for a bed, spliced tables, chairs and benches, plus dishes and chopsticks with missing corners. Seeing that he had indeed been hungry for a long time, Wen Lin had no choice but to ask Xiao Mao, "Xiao Mao, have you eaten?" Xiao Mao shook his head,
"Then it's okay for you to go with your mother to your brother, you see, your mother was accidentally injured by your brother, and my brother wants to give your mother a good look at the injury."
Xiao Mao looked at his mother. The woman asked, "Who are you, and why did you come to my house at midnight?"
"Auntie, we are not bad people, we are people from the court." Hearing this, the aunt snorted coldly: "The imperial court? Officials protect each other, there is no good person, you go, you don't need to pretend to be here to play.
If you are really a good official, you should investigate the dismissal of the brute sitting in the city lord's mansion, instead of breaking into a private house late at night like now. ”
Wen Lin had no choice but to say, "Auntie, your injuries should be treated at the inn with us, we are not bad people, we will take care of that dog officer, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about it for Xiaomao, if you leave, the child is too pitiful, you haven't eaten yet, where can the child stand it." ”
The aunt looked at Xiao Mao, a seven or eight-year-old child, looking only four or five years old, sad, sad, helpless, and incompetent, all emotions suddenly surfaced.
Yes, she's incompetent, what can she do if she doesn't believe it? She didn't believe that there could be worse than now.
After some persuasion by Wen Lin. Uncle Li carried the woman on his back, and Wen Lin walked to the inn with Xiao Mao in his arms.
When he arrived at the inn, Long Qing boiled a decoction for the woman, and let the woman and Xiao Mao drink the porridge and fall asleep, the woman obviously didn't trust Wen Lin and his party, and now she couldn't ask anything. You can only take it slowly, step by step.
Early in the morning, Wen Lin woke up and went to see the woman and Xiao Mao, the woman had already woken up, and Xiao Mao was pouring water for the woman. The woman was not as reluctant to see Wen Lin today as she was yesterday, probably because of the fate of eating wontons once and the care she took care of them last night.
"Auntie, how are you feeling today, does it hurt anything, did Xiao Mao sleep well last night?"
The woman still did not answer Wen Lin's words. Only Xiao Mao replied shyly, "Brother, I ate enough last night and slept soundly." Brother, my mother won't die, will she? ”
Wen Lin lowered his head and touched Xiao Mao's head and said with a smile, "Yes, Xiao Mao's mother will live a hundred years old and grow up with Xiao Mao." ”
Xiao Mao's mood suddenly fell when he heard this, "Really, brother, you won't lie to me, right, Daddy...... Daddy is gone, and Daddy is gone. Woo woo woo ......" Wen Lin asked softly, "What's wrong with Xiao Mao's father,"
Xiao Mao sobbed and replied, "Daddy fell at the door of the house one night, Daddy shed a lot of blood, Daddy died, Xiao Mao cried louder after speaking." ”
"Xiao Mao is not allowed to talk nonsense," the woman scolded.
"This young lady is not sensible and talks nonsense, don't take it to heart." Wen Lin was very surprised how the woman knew her identity, obviously she hid it well, and Wen Lin saw that the woman had no intention of solving her doubts.
He also talked about it and replied, "Auntie, we are not bad people, if you have anything, you can tell us, after speaking, take out a token that says 'Wen', auntie sees that you are also a person with some knowledge, what this token represents, you should know."
It's up to you whether you say it or not, even if you don't have it, just with the situation of the villagers outside the city, it is enough for them to die ten times or eight times, if the eldest aunt wants to make decisions for herself, she wants to make decisions for Xiao Mao's father. I still hope that my aunt can cooperate with me. ”
"I don't know who this young lady is from the Wen Mansion?"
"Auntie, can you tell me first, how did you know my identity?" The woman smiled faintly when she heard this, "There are still many differences between boys and girls, from your behavior and conversation, as well as your ear piercing, Miss." ”
"Uh," Wen Lin was embarrassed. "I don't know if my aunt has heard of Wen Ling, the eldest lady of the Wen Mansion."
"The one who was born with the name of the present saint?"
"Yes, I am. My father is also honest and honest in the entire Qi country, I wonder if my aunt thinks she can make decisions for you? ”
Hearing this, the woman immediately wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but Wen Lin saw it and hurriedly stopped her. "Auntie, your body hasn't healed yet, it's better to lie down, I hope my identity will be kept secret."
The woman choked up at this time and said, "Are you really Wen Ling, the eldest lady of Prime Minister Wen's family?" You're not going to lie to me, are you. ”
"If it's fake, this token is exactly what my dad used to represent his identity."
"Xiao Mao, you go out to find Sister Xiaolian first, okay. My brother has something to say to your mother."
"Okay" When Xiao Mao left, the woman began to cry without any concern, "Woo woo, why did you come now, that group of beasts, that group of beasts, ......"
The woman cried for a long time before she stopped, and then continued, "Everyone knows that Luoyan City is a fief given by the emperor to His Royal Highness King Wen, and since it became a fief of His Royal Highness King Wen more than ten years ago, it is said that a new city lord personally dispatched by His Royal Highness King Wen came.
The new city lord is indeed a good official for the country and the people, and in the first few years, our living conditions have improved a lot, and everyone is grateful for the kindness of His Royal Highness King Wen.
originally thought that life would go on like this, but who knew that three years ago, there was another city lord, and at first there was just more taxes. I can live a life like this, but then gradually there are missing people, young and middle-aged men are gone, and the people outside the city are all gone, leaving us as a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people pretending to be a city. ”
So saying, the woman got out of bed and knelt down in front of Wen Lin. "Miss Wen, I know that Prime Minister Wen is a clean official and a good person, please save us.
They don't let us eat, we just don't starve to death. We can't live anymore, we only have one meal in two days, and I'll kowtow to you. "Auntie, you get up first, I will definitely take care of this matter to the end, you can recuperate here first." I will get justice for you. ”
