Chapter 311: The Tragedy of the Widow Li Wu
Li Wu shouldn't be worried that a man living in her house will be criticized, but her family is really too simple, no, the simplicity is indescribable, it doesn't look like a person can live. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Zilong's surprised expression, Li Wu was a little embarrassed, and whispered in a wry voice: "The family is cold, if Mr. is not afraid of grievances, the slave family ......"
Without waiting for Li Wu to finish speaking, Zilong smiled and shook his head, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this, I just see that although the whole village lives an ordinary life, at least the home can shelter from the wind and rain, but the sister-in-law is here...... It's just a little sad.
Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I used to be just a slave, I lived a good life, and it was even more miserable than this, with no tile on my head to cover the rain, and I ate only a grain of rice to satisfy my stomach, so I wouldn't be unaccustomed to it.
But I don't know why my sister-in-law's family has become like this, according to the villagers, the husband was a member of the military during his lifetime, so it shouldn't be like this...... I'm sorry, I lost my words! ”
Zilong was indeed a little too surprised, all the way, it seems that at least the house of each family is still good, this Li Wu's home can't be called home, it can only be called a bunch of broken walls.
The thatch on the roof is almost terrible, compared to the light rain outside, the heavy rain inside the house, the heavy rain outside, and the storm inside.
However, seeing that Li Wu was alone with his children, and then seeing this situation, Zilong was impulsive and asked such a sentence, mentioning Li Wu's dead husband, isn't this a scar?
Therefore, Zilong hurriedly apologized and didn't dare to ask anything more.
Li Wu sighed and told him about the situation in his family, it turned out that Li Wu's parents were two kings, and they had been begging to live, and they were inevitably bullied, and finally came to Liujiawan and were taken in by their husbands.
Her husband lived alone for a long time, and his family was poor but not to this extent, and then the storm in Beizhen ignited, and his husband asked for a few five baht military salaries, and joined the rebel army of Duluo Zhou.
At the beginning, it was quite smooth, who wanted the army from the south and the army from the west to attack twice, Du Luo Zhou was quickly defeated, and his husband was promoted by Du Luo Zhou, so he fought without surrendering, and finally his head was in a different place, and he died with a whimper.
After receiving the news that her husband died on the battlefield, Li Wu was grief-stricken, if it weren't for taking care of the flesh and blood of the two and leaving an incense for the Li family, Li Wu's heart would have died.
Struggling to support the family, watching his son barely survive in the suffering, Li Wu had to help the villagers and earn some food, and also take care of the family's barren land, but he was really overwhelmed and finally exhausted.
Unexpectedly, the child was sensible, and he shouldered the burden of the family with his immature shoulders, although he could do very little, but he also took care of his mother quite thoughtfully.
Li Wu didn't want to see his son work so hard, so he gritted his teeth and sold the only remaining field in the family to the Liu family, who not only did not send charcoal in the snow, but even took the opportunity to suppress the land price, and only used a few stones of grain to exchange it for Li Wu's field.
Since then, Li Wu's health has deteriorated, and he and his children have worked for the people in the village, which is barely surviving, and today is to work in the village, who knew that such a thing happened, which is really worse.
The story of the Li Wu clan made Zilong sigh, he didn't think that he was the driving force behind the tragedy of the Li Wu clan, the battle of Youyan, although he had tried his best to control the killing, but he still couldn't let everyone be spared.
I felt guilty for a while, and I was glad that I was able to save their mother and son by accident today, it seems that the cycle of cause and effect, God naturally arranged an opportunity for him to make some amends for the past.
Gently patted Li Wu's shoulder, making Li Wu's shoulders tremble, Zilong realized that his actions were out of proportion, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, believe me, from today onwards, you and the child will not be so difficult again." ”
Li Wu smiled, in fact, the child is fine, it is already a blessing, she didn't think about how to suddenly get out of the poverty situation, she just hopes that the child can grow up safely, even if it is worthy of her husband's help and grace.
"Sir, please go into the humble house and rest for a while, there is still something to eat at home, you must be hungry too, I'll go get some food!" Li Wu introduced Zilong into the inner room and went out to arrange food.
But after entering the house, Zilong found another problem, and realized why Li Wu was so hesitant, the reason was really not just that her family was too simple.
It turned out that the house of Li Wu's family had only one bedroom, and the outside room was full of miscellaneous firewood.
In addition, there is only one firewood house, which is ventilated on all sides, and there is not even a wall, just four wooden pillars, which hold up a grass roof where you can see the starry sky at night, how can you live in it?
Ke Zilong wants to come here to settle down, how can he sleep on a clay kang in this bedroom?
Although Li Wu is widowed, he has always adhered to women's morals, but Zilong is kind to him and can't shirk it, this is wrong, Zilong is also depressed, it seems that he has created a lot of trouble for Li Wu!
The meal is ready, it can't be said to be simple, it's simply shabby, in a pot of unknown wild vegetable soup, calmly can count the rice grains, plus a black wheat cake, and a salted fish, which can probably be guessed from its hardness, is also antique.
That's it, Li Wu has always been reluctant to eat by himself, always pushed in front of Zilong, Zilong looked at Li Wu's expectant gaze, couldn't bear to disobey her kindness, and could only gobble up these things that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
It's really hard to swallow, the wild vegetable soup is so bitter that it makes people feel cold, the wheat cake into the throat is like a knife cut, and the salted fish is more fishy than the ordinary salted fish, but this fishy smell doesn't seem to be the taste of normal salted fish, right?
In Zilong's memory, even when he was a slave in Dugu Mansion, he ate better than this, and when he looked at Li Wu's and skinny children with a satisfied face, Zilong almost burst into tears.
But Zilong knew that Li Wu had already done everything to entertain himself, and if Zilong didn't eat, Li Wu would definitely feel a sense of indebtedness forever in his heart.
swept away all the food like a storm, and at the end he squeezed out a full burp, patted his bulging lower abdomen, and said very satisfied: "It's really delicious, thank you sister-in-law for your hospitality." ”
The word hospitality really made Li Wu a little ashamed, but fortunately, Zilong really ate it all, and Li Wu was still a little comforted and smiled awkwardly.
"There are no good things at home, sir, you have been wronged."
While saying that, he put away the dishes and chopsticks, Zilong took the opportunity to look at the child's situation, it seems that there is no painkiller, the child is afraid that he will have to scream all night, and tomorrow he must find a way to let Liu Feng, the culprit, find a genuine doctor, at least let the child stop the pain, but Zilong also knows that there is little hope.
Li Wu entered the house, seeing that Zilong was still caring about the child, a warmth rose in his heart, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, Zilong turned around, both of them were embarrassed, Li Wu lowered his head and his face flew red.
They are all facing a problem now, the sky is getting dark, and Zilong has also had dinner, so tonight ......
