Chapter 28: Lesson 1 (2)
"Under the sky, where the sun shines, there must be a place of shadow. If there is a rich family, there will be poor people. As you can see, there are such poor and difficult people to survive on the edge of Kyoto in our Datang Dynasty, and this is still in the context of the scarcity of wars and economic development in our Datang Dynasty in recent years. In my hometown, there are many battles and battles, and it is common for the city to change the king's banner, and our situation there will only be worse than this. I'm afraid you can't think of the worst situation, then ......," Lin Feng recounted bitterly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, you opened your eyes? Don't scare me. At this time, a miserable cry came, completely overshadowing Lin Feng's already somewhat muffled voice, the voice was sharp and frightened, clearly from a little girl.
Lin Feng was startled and hurriedly walked towards the place where the cry came from. Li Yu and Li Congqian glanced at each other and followed silently. Although Liu Cheng was reluctant, he had to keep up closely. After their feet were dapped twice in the muddy water, they immediately lost their original appearance.
Turning around two shacks that didn't look like houses at all, Lin Feng came to a particularly dilapidated shack, two ragged noon women were also entering the house, Lin Feng didn't say a word, and then opened the door and entered, Li Yu and a few people also followed Lin Feng's pace.
Originally, it was close to noon outside, but when they arrived inside the shack, it seemed to suddenly become dusk, and several people waited for a while before they could see everything in front of them. The house was a real house, with four walls, a bed, two stools, and a nest, and there was nothing left. A woman of about thirty years of age was lying on the bed, her face was yellow, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fainted. A little girl with two pigtails was kneeling in front of the bed, clenching her mother's hand and crying loudly.
"Yaya, your mother fainted again?" One of the two women in front of the head asked, and the other couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Aunt Liu, come and see my mother, save her." The girl called Yaya suddenly pounced and grabbed the woman who was speaking.
"Yaya, your mother ......," the woman did not continue. Two days ago, when Yaya's mother fainted, Wang Er, the only one in the village who knew a little medical skills, was at home. It just so happened that she saw Lin Feng and a few brightly dressed people, and quickly changed the topic: "You, who are you?" ”
Lin Feng was not polite, and went up and touched the pulse of the patient's hand. There was basically no flesh left on her arms, only a layer of skin clinging to the bone. The pulse sound was very faint, coming and going, it was already the moment of dying, Lin Feng sighed lightly and retracted his hand.
When the maid saw Lin Feng go to check the pulse, she immediately stopped crying, looked at Lin Feng with hopeful eyes, saw him sighing and shaking her head, immediately changed her face, pounced, knelt on the ground, and hugged Lin Feng with both hands: "Uncle, please, save my mother." ”
Lin Feng clenched her cold little hand and shook his head: "Uncle can't help it." Your mother, she ......" he couldn't say any more.
"Uncle, I beg you. As long as I can save my mother and let me do anything, I will be a slave for you and serve you for the rest of your life. "The girl is like a drowning person grasping a life-saving straw and not letting go.
Lin Feng looked back at Li Yu and saw a rare look of sympathy and pity on his face. Lin Feng turned around, took out fifty Tongbao, and handed them to the two women: "Can you please buy a clean set of clothes and a thin coffin for Yaya's mother, is this money enough?" ”
"Enough, enough." When the two women saw the money, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Then I'm sorry for you. The rest will be used as wages, and you will be able to bury your mother later. Lin Feng confessed.
"Ya...... ......Suddenly, a violent cough came, and Yaya's mother opened her eyes, searching for the child's figure, and called her name with difficulty.
"Mom!" Yaya immediately pounced and hugged her mother tightly.
"Yaya, I'm miserable...... Yaya, Mom...... I'm sorry for you! After saying this, Yaya's mother hugged Yaya with all her best strength, and immediately fainted again, and a stream of black blood appeared from the corner of her mouth.
The girl immediately burst into tears.
"Two aunts, please wait a minute." Lin Feng stopped the two women who were about to go shopping, and counted fifty more Tongbao, "Please take care of Yaya more in the past two days, do they have any relatives here?" ”
"No, the people here are all helpless people, how many don't die that day? Yaya's mother has been sick for almost half a year, and she relies on Yaya to go out every day to pick up food. The woman, surnamed Liu, replied gloomily.
"I'm an orphan, and I have five orphan brothers, I want to take Yaya in the future, okay?" Lin Feng asked.
"That's a good dare, this is a blessing for Yaya. Otherwise, it is a question of whether Yaya can survive in the future, everyone here is a poor person, it's okay to help her with one or two meals, after a long time, I'm afraid it will ......" Aunt Liu nagged sadly.
Lin Feng pulled Yaya over, gently wiped away her tears with his hand, and looked at her eyes sincerely: "Yaya, mom is no good." In the future, will it be okay to follow my uncle? ”
"I want my mother, I want my mother." Yaya only knew that she was crying, but her hand was tightly gripping Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng sighed and quietly let go of Yaya's hand: "Yaya, I'll pick you up in two days." Turning around and leaving ruthlessly, Li Yu and the three followed silently.
After coming out, Lin Feng didn't let Li Yu and them see anything more, if they had the heart, it was enough.
When I got into the car, no one spoke, and my body swayed with the car, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing.
"The king is not only a man, so he can understand his virtue. The two highnesses, Guan Zhong, the famous minister of the Spring and Autumn Qi country, once said: 'The beginning of the husband and the overlord is also people-oriented. This principle will be solid for the country, and chaos will be in danger. If our people are like this, with no food and clothing, and are in such distress, can our country be called stable?' If we hadn't helped them when they were in danger, could we have counted on them to stand up and let them stand up when the country was in trouble, and let them stand up and spill their blood from the shadows? Lin Feng started talking quietly, and as he spoke, his tone became more and more serious.
"Your Highnesses, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape, please forgive me. Do you understand that the Qin Dynasty lasted 60 years of development and growth and finally unified the world, but was overthrown in just over a decade? After calming down his mind a little, Lin Feng asked such a question.
