Although the little girl was very young, she seemed to have a very bright mind. She may have realized that in the wilderness of this deserted village, she had no one to help, and she would surely die soon, just like her grandfather.

People have an instinct to survive, even a little girl who is only five or six years old and is already very afraid.

After a while, the little girl stared at a pair of bright eyes and asked softly, "Brother, are you good people?" Grandpa said that when I go out, I will meet a lot of bad people, so I have to be careful. ”

Although Zhou Zhi was very sad when he saw the vision in front of him, he couldn't help but smile when he heard this little girl talk like this at this time. He patted the little girl's head lightly again and said, "My brother is a good person, so don't worry, little sister!" We'll bury your grandfather now, okay? ”

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded slightly.

Although she is young, she also knows that when a person dies, he is dead, and he will never come back to life. It could also be that she was young and had seen a lot of dead people. And the dead will be laid to rest.

However, when she saw Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu, as well as the coachman busy digging a deep pit in the wasteland by the roadside, and then moving her grandfather's body, the little girl couldn't help but cry loudly.

"Grandpa, I'll never see my grandpa again."

The voice is hoarse, and it is extremely sad to hear.

In the cry of the little girl, Zhou Zhi and the three buried the old man. Then the three of them paid a brief visit to the grave.

It's getting darker, and this is not the place to stay. Under the persuasion of Zhou Zhi's kind words, the little girl was finally put into the carriage.

At this time, the little girl's body was very weak, but she still answered many of Zhou Zhi's questions.

Zhou Zhi learned that the little girl's name was Li Feng, and her mother died since she was born. Not long after, her father contracted tuberculosis and died soon after. The two grandparents are left to rely on each other.

In Datong, Shanxi, there was a shortage of soldiers, they were lonely, and they were often bullied by the rich and powerful. The family's few acres of thin fields were soon looted, and they really couldn't live in Datong, so they simply lived a life of begging.

The days of begging are always hungry and full, but grandpa feels sorry for Li Feng, and every time he wants to leave the best things he asks for to Li Feng to eat, in this way, Li Feng's body is not slow.

But grandpa's body is getting worse day by day, just today at noon, grandpa suddenly said that his chest hurt, followed by falling to the ground, and soon died.

Before he died, he didn't even leave a word. It's just that his round eyes say it all. He didn't blink to death, and he couldn't rest assured of his only granddaughter.

Li Feng was really tired, and after saying this, he slowly fell asleep in the carriage.

After a delay of almost an hour on the road, when I arrived at Ansu County, the already not very prosperous county had already been turned off. Fortunately, I quickly found a small inn. There weren't many guests in the inn, so Zhou Zhi and a few of them simply arranged two rooms.

Zhou Zhi and the little girl Li Feng are in one room, Qi Yanwu and the coachman are in one room.

First, I had a simple meal, and then arranged to wash up.

It is worth mentioning that when the little girl Li Feng was eating, her posture was like a little starving ghost, not to mention it, and she ate a lot. I didn't give up until my belly was bulging and I was burping.

Li Feng was too dirty, so Zhou Zhi asked the guy to fetch a wooden bucket, made warm water, and let the little girl take a bath.

In later generations, many of the five or six-year-old girls were in the honeypots of their parents' grandparents. But although this little girl Li Feng is young, she can do a lot of things, such as taking a bath and the like, and she does it very well by herself.

It is not bad to say that the children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age.

After bathing, Li Fenghe was like two people at first. Although she was still wearing her tattered clothes, her eyebrows were delicate and her small lips were very beautiful, and even the little body seemed to look like it at this time.

This is definitely a beauty billet, Zhou Zhi sighed secretly.

I will buy a few clothes for her as soon as possible in the county early tomorrow morning. How could such a beautiful little girl wear such a tattered shirt?

There were two beds in the room, and Li Feng lay on one bed and soon fell asleep.

At night, Zhou Zhi suddenly heard Li Feng's slight sobbing, and hurriedly lit a candle to watch. Li Feng was sitting on the bed, crying.

Seeing Zhou Zhi, Li Feng wiped his eyes busily and said, "Li Feng alarmed my brother to sleep, I'm sorry for my brother." It's all Li Feng's bad, brother must not blame Li Feng. ”

"Hehe, brother doesn't blame you. Grandpa is dead anyway, and it's useless to think about it anymore. Our little Li Feng is a very tenacious child, don't cry. Zhou Zhi said comfortingly.

Xiao Li Feng nodded hurriedly, "Well, Li Feng listens to his brother's words, his brother is a good person, and it is Li Feng's blessing to meet his brother." If I hadn't met my brother, I might have died. ”

Zhou Zhi found more and more that this little Li Feng was very good at speaking, he spoke clearly and did not speak, and his logic of speaking was also very strong. It's a bit of a "little adult" posture.

It's just a few hours later, and Zhou Zhi has a lot of love for Xiao Li Feng in addition to being pitiful.

It was another kind words that comforted Li Feng, and Li Feng fell asleep again.

But Zhou Zhi couldn't sleep.

Accepting Li Feng today is out of conscience, and there is no way to do it. But I'm going to study in the capital Guozijian, is it possible to take her with me all the time? This is obviously not going to work.

Alas! I did a good thing, but after that, things were still a little troublesome.

The best thing to do is to foster Li Feng in a good family. She was only five or six years old, and she wanted to come to the foster home to treat her, and she would definitely remember the good of them.

But this is Ansu County, and everywhere you see are poor people, not to mention, there are a few rich families, I don't know them at all, let alone their character. In case it wasn't a good family, didn't it push Xiao Li Feng into the fire pit?

After thinking about it, I can't think of a good way to do it. Zhou Zhi finally decided that he could only take Li Feng with him now, and then slowly figure out a way.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Zhi arranged for Qi Yanwu to go to the county seat to buy a few clothes worn by Li Feng. Now there are very few ready-to-wear clothes sold in the Ming Dynasty, and there may not be those that fit too well. Therefore, Zhou Zhi's request for Qi Yanwu is that as long as it is a little girl's clothes, it will be fine.

Qi Yanwu acted neatly, his legs and feet were sharp, and it stands to reason that he should return soon. But Zhou Zhi waited at the inn for an hour, and Qi Yanwu came back with a sweaty face. I bought a few pieces of clothes, and as soon as Qi Yanwu handed the clothes to Xiao Li Feng, a curse sounded outside the inn, "Damn!" You little thief, hurry up and get grandpa out, see that grandpa doesn't want your dog's life. ”

Qi Yanwu's face was angry, and without waiting for Zhou Zhi to ask, he said first, "Brother Zhou Zhi, it wasn't Xiao Wu who provoked them first, it was they who bullied people too much, and Xiao Wu who bullied them really had no choice but to beat them." ”
