Chapter 220: Fragile Life
As if he was afraid of hurting Wang Xue, the soldiers pulled Zhang Liao in front of the grain brought by Wang Xue. took out a handful of grain and pointed it to Zhang Liao, "General, look at this grain." β
Zhang Liao picked up a small one, spread it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. Zhang Liao's brows couldn't help frowning, "This grain hasn't been eaten at all, is this what she took?" β
Zhang Liao understood, he put down the grain, clapped his hands, turned back to Wang Xue and said, "What's your name?" You brought this grain. β
Wang Xue nodded: "My name is Wang Xue, and these are the only food in my family." β
Zhang Liao frowned and said; "You brought all the food from home?"
Wang Xue nodded gloomily.
"You brought all the food, what do you eat?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Wang Xue said in a low voice: "There is always a way, isn't it." β
"Why?"
At this moment, Wang Xue seemed to be unable to bear it, and cried bitterly: "My grandfather is sick, I want to save him." There is no money at home, and the pharmacy does not administer medicine. I want to save my grandfather, and I'm just a relative. β
At this moment, Wang Xue was like a helpless child, crying and despairing.
Zhang Liao looked at the crying Wang Xue and wanted to comfort her. But where can he comfort people, the more comforting he is, the more he cries.
In the end, I was disturbed by the crying, and I couldn't help but reprimand, "Don't cry!" β
The voice really worked, and Wang Xue's crying stopped abruptly. Although the crying stopped, the tears kept falling.
Zhang Liao looked at Wang Xue's appearance of pity, and couldn't help but feel a different feeling in his heart, a feeling that he had never felt before.
"Where is your home, take me there."
"Ah," Wang Xue raised her head in surprise.
"I don't want to save your grandfather?"
"Think"
"Take me there if you want." Zhang Liao's tone seemed to be unprecedentedly gentle.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Wang Xue stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and was ready to take Zhang Liao home.
And Zhang Liao explained two sentences to the soldiers, called Shanglang Zhong Langzhong, and followed Wang Xue's footsteps.
Standing at the door of Wang Xue's house, Zhang Liao's brows furrowed even tighter. This place calls it a house and is overestimating it. Fenced off and simply laid with a little thatch, that's all there is to the house.
Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, Wang Xue lowered her head embarrassedly. Zhang Liao opened his mouth but did not speak, and took the lead in walking towards the room.
The inside of the house is more dilapidated than the outside, and as soon as you enter the house, you feel a feeling of oppression, and even if it is daytime, it is difficult to see the surroundings clearly. Maybe it's because the only light in the house is the sunlight that comes in through the cracks in the hedges.
Zhang Liao looked up at the only bed in the room, saying that it was a bed, but it was actually a tattered straw mat. Lying on it was an old man who described it as withered. Zhang Liao took two steps forward to take a closer look at the old man, but as soon as he arrived in front of the old man, he felt a smell like stinky meat that had rotted for ten days rush to his head. At this moment, Zhang Liao wanted to vomit in disgust.
He forcibly resisted the feeling of nausea, lowered his body and lifted the sackcloth on the old man's body, only to see that the old man was covered with scars all over his body. The most worrying thing is the old man's left leg, the white bones are particularly dazzling, and some of the flesh around the bone spurs has begun to rot because they have not been treated, and the smell just now may come from here.
Zhang Liao put his hand under the old man's nose and let out some faint breathing.
"Lang Zhong come and take a look." Zhang Liao covered it for the old man and hurriedly said to Lang Zhong.
"No"
Wang Xue stood behind Zhang Liao and stared at Lang Zhong deadly. Although she didn't speak, Zhang Liao could clearly feel Wang Xue's nervousness, Zhang Liao's arm was tightly held by Wang Xue, it hurt! But Zhang Liao did not break free and did not speak.
After a long time, Lang Zhong closed the medicine box he was carrying.
"How?" Wang Xue asked hurriedly, her eyes full of hope.
"Alas" Lang Zhong sighed lowly, prepare for the future, the gods are difficult to save.
"No," Wang Xue's tears flowed instantly. pushed Lang Zhong away, rushed to his grandfather's side, shook his grandfather vigorously, and kept shouting: "Grandpa, wake up!" I'm Xiaoxue, and you said you were going to take me to eat something delicious. They lied to me, right! Get up, get up! Wang Xue's voice gradually became hoarse.
"Is it true that the old man is hopeless?" On the old man's side, Zhang Liao asked Lang Zhong in a low voice.
Lang Zhong sighed, as if he was used to seeing this kind of life and death parting. He whispered to Zhang Liao, "General." If I can save it, how can I not save it? However, this old man was very old, and he was severely beaten, and his life was already in danger. In addition, if it drags on for too long, the old man has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and the gods are difficult to save. β

"Okay, I see, you go!" Zhang Liao took out a little money from his arms and handed it to Lang Zhong.
Lang Zhong was not polite, but the copper coin was put into his arms, hugged his fist towards Zhang Liao, and turned to leave.
Looking at Wang Xue who was crying on the old man's body, Zhang Liao felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
"Small, light snow. Is that you? The old man lying on the bed made a weak voice.
Hearing this voice, Wang Xue immediately got up from the old man's body. Wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes and clasp the old man's dry hands with both hands. "Grandpa is me, I know you're fine, the person just now lied to me. I know..."Wang Xue put the old man's hand close to his cheek and kept rubbing it.
The old man was very weak, and seemed to be holding on to his breath, touching his granddaughter's cheek, as if trying to remember her appearance.
"Ahem" The old man coughed violently twice, and the whole person looked even weaker.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Grandfather! Seeing her grandfather's appearance, Wang Xue exclaimed anxiously.
The old man tried hard to open his eyes, stared at Wang Xue's face, and said unwillingly: "Xiaoxue, grandpa can't accompany you in the future, you must live strongly." Grandpa, I don't want to leave, I haven't seen you wearing a red dowry yet! β
"Grandpa, you'll see. Grandpa, you're going to see it. Wang Xue's tears poured down like pouring rain, and she held his grandfather's hand tightly, for fear that she would leave.
"Xiaoxue is left with you alone, I, I won't let go... Don't worry," the old man said this, as if he had exhausted all the strength of his life. Keep opening his mouth, trying to say something, but he can't make any sound. He stared at his granddaughter, as if he wanted to see her one last time. Suddenly, the old man's body finally stopped shaking violently, and his withered hands hung down weakly...
"Grandpa, grandpa," Wang Xue kept shaking her grandfather's body, as if she couldn't believe the facts in front of her.
"Grandpa!"
