Bai Fan looked up at the corner of the wall, there was a rag on top of a tattered straw mat, and the small figure was placed on top of the rag.

This child looks like he is at most eight years old, although there are no obvious scars on his body, but his sallow face, deep-set eye sockets, he looks like he has been sick in bed for a long time, and then he looks at the figure, it is obviously thin skin and bones!

Bai Fan walked forward quickly, took out the white flour cake in his arms and handed it to the little boy, the little boy's originally dull eyes turned to Bai Fan, it seemed that he had recovered a trace of brilliance, and moved the corners of his mouth very reluctantly, Bai Fan knew the meaning, this child wanted to smile at himself!

The older girl behind him explained, "Xiao Qi hasn't been able to eat by himself since the day before yesterday, and the eldest brother has been trying to get some black batter for him in the past two days, but he can't even eat this this morning, his illness is too serious!"

For this reason, the third sister and the little sister have been crying for two hours, and the two of them take turns looking at Xiao Qi, both afraid that Xiao Qi will not wake up if one is not good, especially Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is her only brother! ”

Bai Fan heard the grief in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Huaimo, go find a bowl of hot water!" ”

Everyone was grieving, and when they heard that Bai Fan had a way, someone would do it immediately, without Cheng Huaimo's hands, Xiao Liu and the third sister walked quickly to the broken stove of the nest and took a dilapidated clay pot, which was the hot water they boiled every day, and they were also prepared to make black batter for Xiao Qi today.

Bai Fan tore the palm-sized white flour cake in his hand into crumbs and soaked it into the clay pot.

The girl named Second Sister stopped, "No, that's how we fed Xiao Qi in the morning, but every time it reaches his mouth, it will flow out!" ”

Bai Fan didn't speak, after feeling the right temperature of the water, he took a small sip of white batter in front of the clay pot, knelt down and lowered his head, pinched the mouth of the sick child, and in the unbelievable gaze of a group of children, he directly fed the chewed white batter with his own mouth!

A little beggar, even if he is not terminally ill, will definitely not brush his teeth and wash his face often, let alone where to brush his teeth in ancient times, it is said that only rich people have the luxury of brushing their teeth with fine salt, and poor people do not brush at all!

Besides, how many days has this child been in bed? In the past, he used to eat leftovers every day for a living, although he didn't eat and drink in the past two days, but he didn't have to think about it to know that the taste in his mouth, not to mention how sour it was!

But Bai Fan didn't think about anything else at this time, he didn't feel anything, he only had one thought in his heart, that is, to save this child, he looked like he was only eight years old, and he shouldn't suffer from this!

As for having to find a reason to say why, it may be that the hard-working smile on the corner of this boy's mouth touched Bai Fan!

Just one bite at a time, almost half a bowl was fed, and when he felt that the other party couldn't eat it, Bai Fan stopped, handed the clay pot to the one called Xiaomei, and motioned for her to eat the rest!

But the girl shook her head, the meaning was obvious, she was going to save the next meal for herself to feed her brother!

"Little sister, don't do this, we still have a lot of white flour cakes, your brother can only eat fresh things in the future, this kind of can't be eaten at night, you are almost finished, don't waste it!"

Under the persuasion of a few people on the side, the two girls, the third sister and the younger sister, ate the large half jar of white batter.

Bai Fan looked back at a few disciples, and there was still surprise in the eyes of a few people, but it was more admiration, and several people also admired it in the past, but it was admiration for the master's skills and methods, today is different, and several people are completely impressed by the master's character!

"For patients who have lost the ability to eat, when there is no particularly good means of care, it is the most effective way to use the mouth to help feed, remember this, maybe you can use it when the elders of the family come to lie sick in the future!

Don't be surprised, I think if I told you that you could save him in this way, you would have done the same! Bai Fan responded to the situation and began his preaching again.

Cheng Huaimo nodded, but then shook his head, Cheng Huailiang said, "Master, we didn't want to ask you this, we wanted to ask you, did you steal food when you just fed the food?" A few of us were still betting on it! ”

What the?

Bai Fan's face was full of black lines in an instant, what kind of apprentice did he accept!

When, what a touching moment, a bunch of unreliable guys, are still betting and playing?

See if I don't kill you!

Instantly erupted, one person kicked him, scolded a bastard, and thought to himself, did he really have food just now?

In the puzzled eyes of a few little beggars, Bai Fan and the five of them played around for a while, and then Changsun Chong was sent out, and Bai Fan explained: "Go and secretly invite Senior Brother Yuan to come over, this child's condition can't be delayed!" ”

By the time Yuan Laodao quietly came to the small courtyard with the medicine box on his back, it was already approaching evening, and Bai Fan and the others had already become familiar with a few little beggars, it turned out that there were eleven little beggars in total, seven boys and four girls, the eldest of which was sixteen years old, and the youngest Xiao Qi was nine years old on the sickbed, but the long-term illness caused it to look less than eight years old.

Today, several people went to beg separately, the eldest and the second all the way, the third and fourth sisters all the way, the fifth and sixth all the way, and the remaining second sister stayed to take care of the third sister who was only nine years old, the little sister who was only eight years old, and the sick little seven!

A group of children have no names, all of them are orphans left behind by broken families, there are many lonely and helpless children like them in the Tang Dynasty, a large part of them will be unsustainable because of their lives, and finally voluntarily sell themselves into slavery, many of the women are willing to sell themselves as maids and maids, and more are even brothels and the like, there is a lack of everything in this world, there is no shortage of human traffickers, and the business of human traffickers is very good, there is no need to design abductions, and there is a food and silver money stall, and there are such and such populations flocking, It's not too easy to make money!

Of these eleven children, the older ones don't want to sell themselves into slavery, and the younger ones don't want to sell themselves, so they can only rely on each other for their lives.

Lao Yuan in the nervous and concerned eyes of a group of children, gave Xiao Qi a careful pulse, the so-called medicine and martial arts are not separated, Lao Yuan practiced martial arts and cultivated well, and his natural medical skills were not bad, but after a while, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, looking at a pair of expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to say the true condition, so he could only gesture to Bai Fan slightly.

At this moment, a few older children who had gone out to beg came back, and when they saw that there were many people surrounding Xiao Qi, they immediately stepped forward in a hurry.

After some explanation, a few people knew that they had met a good person, not only a good person in the same industry, but also to help invite a good Taoist priest to the Taoist temple to treat the disease, it seems that Xiaoqi is lucky, and everyone is very happy!

But the little beggar who was called the eldest brother at the head frowned, as if he was remembering something, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and pulled Yuan Laodao's arm and asked anxiously, "You, are you Yuan Lao Immortal?" ”

Yuan Daochang was stunned, how could there be a little beggar who knew him?

Bai Fan laughed and said, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be quite famous, even this kid knows you?" ”

"Aren't you a child?" Lao Yuan said with a smile.

"Teacher, senior brother? So, then you're a white man? The boy said anxiously.

Bai Fan was also stunned, "Yo, how do you know me?" You must know that I am not as famous as Senior Brother Yuan! ”

The boy immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying and shouting, "Engong, finally see Engong again, last winter, you came out of dinner at the Wangjing Tower, and saw a few of us beggars still begging outside in winter, and gave us each a penny, don't you remember?"

If it weren't for Engong's hanging money, our brothers and sisters would probably have frozen to death and starved to death in winter! ”

The eldest child said, pulling a group of younger siblings and began to kowtow, and finally pulled up everyone, Bai Fan vaguely remembered, it seems that there is such a thing, when he went to Wangjinglou for the first time to eat, because he won a large sum of silver such as Changsun Chong that day, he was in a good mood, and he happened to meet a group of little beggars when he went out, so he did a good deed with kindness, but he didn't expect the world to be so small!
