After the winter solstice, it is the New Year.

Han Limo and Xiao Wang went to the street to buy some New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year, and when they came back, it was already evening.

On the way, Han Limo met a little girl who had a one-sided relationship.

"Big brother, big brother!" Han Limo, who was rushing to the inn, was suddenly grabbed by a little girl with ragged clothes and a dirty face, he turned around and saw the little girl in front of him who was only up to his waist, stretching out his hands that were red from the cold and asking for money, "Big brother, give some!" The little girl opened her big eyes full of begging, and her little hand gently tugged at his sleeve again, and looked into her eyes, and at that moment he recognized the little girl in front of him.

The little girl is called Little Peach, Han Limo had seen it in the morning market, and at that time there was a group of bullies who were making things difficult for the mother and daughter, and it was the first time he was beaten in his life, so he remembered it vividly.

Han Limo and Xiao Wang glanced at each other, tacitly.

"Little sister, what about your family?" Xiao Wang on the side also recognized it, took out two pennies from his pocket and put them on her little hand, plus Han Limo's three pennies, a total of five pennies, and it was enough to eat.

The little girl didn't answer Xiao Wang's words, but shook her head like a rattle, "Not enough, not enough!" ”

The two sighed slightly, and each took out two or three more cents from their pockets, that's all, and there will be no food for themselves. A total of ten dollars of silver before and after, and the two of them were half a month's salary. The little girl still shook her head, "Not enough, not enough." ”

"This...."You look at me, I look at you, it's not enough, where to rob it, half a month's salary is given to you."

The corners of the little girl's mouth slowly shrugged down, two tears were clearly visible, and they flowed down her cheeks for a while, crying: "Big brother, you can help the little peach, my mother is sick, she has been lying in bed for several days, and all the valuable things at home have been sold, and there is no money to buy medicine, and the shopkeeper of the medicine cabinet said that if you want to buy medicine, you have to pay thirty yuan..."

Little Peach cried more and more fiercely, and then kept sobbing.

Han Limo looked uncomfortable, but he couldn't take out so much money with his big sleeves, so he looked at Brother Wang beside him, Xiao Wang also glanced at him, and his hand unconsciously covered his pocket.

"Brother Wang!" Han Limo shouted softly.

Xiao Wang looked at Han Limo with a suffocated face and shook his head.

"Brother Wang!" Han Limo used a begging tone.

Xiao Wang sighed, looking at his eyes, he knew that he couldn't hide, although he was a little reluctant, but his hand slowly reached into his pocket, took out his money at the bottom of the box, and counted out twenty wen with his hand a little trembling.

With his reluctant expression, Han Limo took the twenty texts in one hand and said, "Brother Wang, I will borrow you this time, and I will pay you back in the future." ”

Reading Lang handed over the money to the crying little girl in front of him, and said softly: "Little Peach, go buy medicine for your mother!" ”

Han Limo instructed again: "It's getting dark, go home early!" ”

Staring at the thirty cents in her hand, Xiao Taozi suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears with her already tattered sleeves, her red eyes were slightly puffy, and she suddenly smiled, rich, rich.

Little peach is only six years old this year, but very sensible, the mother is sick in bed and can not work, often go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables to sell in the morning market before dawn, warm-hearted people think she is pitiful, young age to get up early and work in the dark, so every day someone goes to buy her vegetables, so at least to ensure that there is a meal to eat every day, but the good times do not last long, the same people can not sell the dishes of the same people, there is no food to eat, the little peach can not compete with others, In the end, he was driven out by the threat of ill-intentioned people.

In the past, her mother often told her that people should rely on their own hands to create happiness, and never follow those who have hands and feet on the street to beg, and the little peach will always nod seriously.

My mother's illness became more and more serious, and she had no money for treatment, so she had no choice but to lie to her mother that she was going to sell vegetables, but in fact she was begging on the street, until she met Han Limo today.

Little Peach sniffed, looked at Han Limo with pleading eyes, and said, "Big brother, it's getting dark, can you accompany me to buy medicine?" ”

The young man hesitated, looked at her Chu Chu eyes, and finally nodded.

Beizhen 3rd Street, Xin'an Medical Center.

Xin'an Medical Center is a more famous medical hall in Beizhen, but it is not famous for its superb medical skills, but the store bullying customers, relying on its good medical resources in Beizhen and even the whole Gucheng, many old and weak and sick people are often bullied, sitting on the ground to raise prices, maliciously raising prices, the lack of medicinal materials is less than two, not in its number, the medical resources of large and small pharmacies nearby are controlled by it, buy drugs will cost a few pennies, do not buy to go to other places to see a doctor, anyway, I can't escape the control of my Xin'an Medical Center, relying on this, In just a few years, Xin'an Medical Center has become one of the three major medical centers in Gucheng.

When the three of them appeared in front of the Xin'an Medical Center, Xiao Wang understood why Xiao Taozi asked for so much money to buy medicine, the child didn't understand the reason, but Xiao Wang understood, he had lived in Beizhen for so long, and he still knew the situation of the Xin'an Medical Center.

"Little Peach, let's go, let's go in and buy medicine for your mother!"

Han Limo took Xiao Peach's little hand and was about to go in, but Xiao Wang stopped him, and he said, "Limo, let me go!" ”

"Whoever goes is not the same, let's go, Brother Wang!" Han Limo was stunned for a moment, but he still turned around and pulled Xiao Peach inside, Xiao Wang wanted to explain, but Han Limo had already taken steps in, so he had to follow in.

At this time, there was no one in the medical hall, only two medicine boys who were still cleaning the medicinal herbs. Someone came in, but the medicine boy didn't raise his head, and said directly: "It's closed, buy medicine and see a doctor, and come back tomorrow!" ”

When Xiao Taozi heard this, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said in frustration: "Brother, brother, my mother is sick and needs to buy medicine to cure the disease." With watery eyes and an immature cry, Han Limo suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and said, "This friend, you see that this store is not related yet, why don't you grab a pair of medicines for us first!" ”

The medicine boy raised his head, looking a little impatient, he was cleaning up the herbs, he threw a few pieces of herbs into the basin, and said in a cold tone: "Who is friends with you!" ”

"I said that if it's closed, it's closed, what so much nonsense, I want to buy medicine and come back tomorrow!" The medicine boy threw down a sentence, picked up the medicine basin and turned around and walked towards the medicine cabinet, ignoring them no more.

Little Peach cried, raised her eyes to look at Han Limo, Chu Chu was pitiful, and cried again: "Big brother, my mother is very sick, and the neighbor's uncle said that you need to take medicine to get better!" ”

The young man in Tsing Yi squatted down, wiped away the two lines of tears of the little peach with both hands, and said softly: "Be good, don't cry!" Brother buys it for you! ”

Han Limo stood up and just took Xiao Peach's cold little hand, he looked at the back of the medicine boy, and felt ashamed of the medicine boy's behavior, but he still held back his anger and said: "The medical hall is originally a place to buy medicine and treat diseases, how can you refuse to see a patient, and the medical hall is obviously still open, why should we come again tomorrow, Xiao Taozi's mother is seriously ill, how can you delay the treatment, is this how your Xin'an Medical Center treats people who come to seek medical advice?" ”

The medicine boy was furious when he heard this, he turned around and looked at Han Limo directly, he had never seen anyone dare to say that Xin'an Medical Hall was not here for so long, the young man dressed as a poor scholar in front of him was still the first, "What kind of thing that came out of nowhere, I said that tomorrow will be tomorrow, don't entangle here, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

"You..." Han Limo was angry, but reason told him that anger is anger, and the gentleman doesn't move his mouth.

"Little Peach, let's go to another medical center to have a look!" He comforts Little Peach, for fear that she will cry again.

Hearing this, the medicine boy sneered, and his heart is the same wherever he goes, in Beizhen, it is still our Xin'an Medical Center that has the final say.

"Okay..."Little Peach wiped her nose with her sleeve, the weather was so cold, and she was still wearing such thin and tattered clothes, how could she not feel distressed.

"Limo, don't take it to heart, you have just arrived here, you don't know the situation here, Xin'an Medical Center is a well-known medical bully here..."

Xiao Wang told Han Limo about the situation of the Xin'an Medical Center and its ugly things, and he understood for a while why the medicine boy just now was so arrogant, but he was still a little angry in his heart, and he didn't even have the medical ethics to save lives and help the wounded, how could this kind of person open a medical hall.

"Isn't there a royal law? Does the yamen not care about this bully who even cheats the people of their hard-earned money? ”

Xiao Wang sneered and explained: "The shopkeeper of the medical hall is a rich man in Beizhen, he is not a doctor and does not know how to see a doctor, the business of selling medicine is actually done by his nephew Zhao Gao, I heard that Zhao Gao is quite close to the city lord, so the government also turns a blind eye, as long as no one lives, he can toss as much as he wants, and there is, of course, it is also a rumor, I don't know whether it is true or false, I heard that Zhao Gao will give the government a large amount of silver tickets every year, I think it is also, which official and businessman do not collude, do you say?" ”

The disease of the poor is not a disease, but the disease of the rich is.

Without the bombardment of gold, how can it be so easy to treat you!

Han Limo was noncommittal and did not speak.

There are some words that you can just keep in your heart.

In the end, Xiao Wang helped buy the medicine in a small remote clinic in Beizhen.

It can be seen that in the black of North Town, two young people are holding the hand of a little girl and walking on this crowded official road. Little Peach lives far away, Han Limo is not worried about her, and offers to send her home first and then go back to the inn, Brother Wang said that he has no opinion, after all, he is not at ease to let a six-year-old girl go back by herself.

A day of begging, the little peach at this moment is already hungry, but for her life experience, one meal a day is the most common thing for her in the past six years.

Looking at her immature little face that could still be seen although it was a little messy, Han Limo's heart felt very uncomfortable, young children should have seen more of the beauty of this world, and what they whispered in their mouths was the joy of playing at home, and the innocence of the four seasons on their shoulders was like a song, how could they have anything to do with the beggar family.

"Little Peach, is it okay for my brother to buy buns for you?" Han Limo felt sorry for her and asked softly.

When he thought she would be happy, Xiao Taozi just looked at Han Limo very calmly, and she said very sensibly: "Brother, my mother said that you can't just ask others for food, and you can't spend other people's money casually!"

"My mother said that the person who helped me is a good person, brother, you are a good person, my mother also said that if you take the money of a good person, you will have to pay it back, but I don't have any money, brother, I will pay you back in the future!"

Little Momoko was very serious when she said these words, and she was so sensible at a young age.

Xiao Wang turned his head away, his eyes were a little ruddy, "At night, how can there be dust, it's all in my eyes." ”

Han Limo was also heartbroken, he touched her head, and said gently: "What my brother invited you to eat, it wasn't what you asked for with my brother!" ”

Little Peach nodded, and snorted in her milk.

In front of a steamed bun shop, Han Limo bought two meat buns for her, and ripped off a piece of the small bun and put it in his mouth, "Brother, it's delicious, you can eat it too!" Little Peach handed the bun to Han Limo, he shook his head, "Little Peach, you eat, you've been hungry for a long time, let's go, go home while eating." ”

"Okay, brother, can I leave another bun for my mother to eat, such a delicious bun, my mother must like to eat it too!" Little Momoko asked.

"Of course you can!" He replied softly, his eyes were extremely gentle, how could there be such a well-behaved and sensible child.

The little peach who got the consent showed her two little cute teeth, and happily protected the bun on her chest, for fear that others would snatch it away.

Xingning Village is the northernmost village in Beizhen, with a total of 10 households.

The road was muddy, and the road at night was even more difficult to walk, passing by a small puddle blocking the way, Little Peach habitually lifted her little trouser legs, and her little feet were about to wade into the muddy water, but she was picked up by Han Limo with one hand, "Brother is here, how can you wade through the water." In the winter, I don't know how many times this little foot has been lying in ice water, Han Limo hugged the little peach, and under the guidance of the little peach, he soon came to the little peach's house.

Looking at this dilapidated thatched house, the cold wind has no way to stop it, where is this like a home, for a moment this young man was a little in a trance, remembering his hometown Luobin.

There was only a glimmer of light in the room, and the oil lamp could be seen moving with the wind, "Mother, mother, I'm back!" Little Peach opened the wooden door and went straight to her mother's bed.

The queen mother was seriously ill, and she could only lie on the bed when she was weak, and she could not see her precious daughter after a day, and she was anxious but could not get out of bed, so she had to lie on the bed and wait, looking at the door from time to time.

I waited for a long time and didn't see the little peach come back, so I fell asleep after waiting.

"Mother!" Little Peach shook her mother's shoulder, "I'm back, mother." ”

The Queen Mother felt someone calling her, and slowly opened her eyes, and the figure of a little girl appeared in the field of vision.

"Mother, little peach is back, mother, are you going to sleep?"

The Queen Mother gradually sobered up, "Okay, it's good to come back." ”

The terminally ill old woman sat up slowly with all her might, leaned against the head of the bed, touched the little peach's little head with her weak hand, and asked her if she had eaten it today?

Little Peach happily said that she had eaten it, and took out the meat bun that had already been frozen because of the cold weather, and handed it over with both hands, "Mother, I also brought you delicious buns!" ”

Who knew that Little Peach's mother immediately changed her face, because she knew the price of this meat bun, how could a child afford it, she was already weak, she patted Little Peach's shoulder hard, and scolded angrily: "Say, are you stealing, how many times have I told you, we can't learn from others to steal, are you not listening to your mother..."

"Mother, I didn't steal it, my big brother bought it for me!" Little Peach suddenly cried.

Why don't my mothers believe me, don't you want me anymore?

"Okay, you, you've learned to lie, haven't you, see how I clean you up..."The queen mother obviously didn't believe the words of the little peach, she didn't learn well at a young age, what can she do in the future.

Just when the Queen Mother wanted to continue to teach Little Peach, Han Limo Xiao Wang appeared at the door, and he shouted: "Auntie, Little Peach, she didn't lie to you. ”

Han Limo's sudden appearance startled the queen mother, she took the little peach in her arms, looked at the door vigilantly, only saw two black shadows, and asked nervously, "Who are you, why are you here?" ”

Little Peach broke free from her mother's embrace, ran over and grabbed Han Limo's hand, and said to her mother: "He is the eldest brother, he not only bought me buns to eat, but also bought medicine for my mother." ”

Little Peach's mother looked at Han Limo, and he nodded at her, meaning that Little Peach didn't lie.

The Queen Mother sighed, knowing that she was wrong about Little Peach.

She beckoned to the little peach, and the little peach returned to the queen mother's arms.

"Little Peach, my mother blames you, I'm sorry!"

Little Peach shook her head, "Mother, I don't blame you!" ”

"Auntie, do you remember me, we met in the morning market before!" Han Limo chuckled.

Little Momoko tilted her head sideways and looked at him earnestly.

The mother also looked at the young man carefully, thought about it carefully, and then nodded, "Young man, it's you, I remember, I remember, I really thanked you last time!" You are our benefactor! ”

"Auntie, you are serious!"

"Alas, you have nothing to greet you when you come to me, young man, I'm sorry!"

"Auntie, it's okay, don't think about it, you just have a good rest, we bought you medicine, and we'll boil it for you in a while!"

"Peach, thank you big brother yet!"

"Thank you, two big brothers!" Little Peach stepped into her mother's arms and said thank you very seriously.

......

After boiling the medicine, the mother and daughter drank the decoction and fell asleep.

Han Limo blew out the oil lamp, gently closed the door, and left Xingning Village with Xiao Wang.
