Chapter 29 Yu Qingqing
Ye Zhixing propped himself up from the bed, coughed a few times dullly, and then looked out the window.
There was a layer of ice on the glass - it actually cooled down last night. She pinched her right arm...... There is still some faint pain. Turning his head to look at Rongshu sleeping next to himβhe frowned slightly, as if he had dreamed of something very bad, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.
So she wiped him with a pillowcloth, then put on her coat and went down to the ground, and pushed the door open.
The little girl had already gotten up...... It's not dawn yet. Her tiny body was busy between the stoves, laboriously carrying a handful of firewood into the pit at the bottom of the pot. But maybe it was the branches of the firewood that got stuck somewhere inside, and she pushed hard, but she couldn't get it all in, so the flames burned outside, choking her and coughing.
So Ye Zhi walked over and whispered, "Come, I'll help you." β
The little girl turned her face and called sweetly, "Sister, you're awake." β
She smiled and nodded, crouching down beside her. The firewood was pushed in, and the flames burned even brighter. After a while, white gas came out of the cracks of the pot lid.
Then the two of them served four bowls of rice, and three of them had leftovers from last night, and put them on the table.
The sound of the dishes colliding woke up the people in the other room, and a male voice came out: "Qingqing, don't do it, Dad will get it later." β
The little girl raised her voice and said, "Sister help me get it right!" Then he ran into the house.
Ye Zhixing rubbed his shoulders with his hands and let out a white breath.
It's a cold day. This family is really pitiful.
A paralyzed and blind father, with a little girl of six or seven years old, lives alone in this small mountain village. The young people in the village have gone out to work, and the only ones left behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled.
It is said that the family used to be happy...... Unfortunately, there was an earthquake in the summer. The house is gone, the woman is dead, and even the aunt and uncle who brought the little girl home and who used to live in the city are gone.
The two of them lived in a relief house built after the disaster in the empire, and the minimum monthly allowance was barely enough for the living expenses of the two people and the money for her father's medicine.
In order to take care of this only relative, the little girl dropped out of school.
It's hard to imagine an empire that has existed for hundreds of years...... There will still be such poor families.
Ye Zhixing also returned to the room and gently shook Rongshu awake. The latter immediately opened his eyes and looked left and right as if he had already woken up, and then relaxed and showed a wry smile: "Sister Kite, you almost shook me apart." β
Ye Zhixing, also known as the night kite, asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?" β
"Still like that...... Neither good nor bad. But that's good news. Rongshu gritted his teeth and got up, "Maybe if you stop for a few more days, you'll get through." β
Ye Zhixing sighed: "It's a pity that the wind is too tight - the outside is still loose on the outside and tight on the inside." If we get out of this village, we won't be targeted. Otherwise, you will get some medicine...... You'll be fine, too. β
"Maybe I'll become an A-class." Rong Shu grinned and put on his coat, and when he heard the sound of a wheelchair and a little girl talking outside, he frowned, "This little girl...... Is it okay? I always felt that there was an evil spirit in a little child. β
Ye Zhixing's face immediately changed, and he raised his eyebrows: "I'll tell you, this little girl, you are not allowed to move!" β
Rongshu hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm just talking about it...... Again...... Whose little girl saw two big living people covered in blood walking over at night, and she could be like her? β
Seeing that the night kite didn't speak, he put on his shoes and whispered, "Forget it, little girl...... And her dad. Let's say that they were a couple who came to the farmhouse and encountered a robbery...... But we didn't go to the hospital or report it...... Also stayed. He didn't say anything eitherβis it normal? β
Night Kite looked out the door and leaned over to him, "I'll tell youβdon't think you're the smartest in the world. You're her dad, what do you say? If we are bad people, he will squeak as a waste, and he and his daughter will be killed! Is this called the mind and the guts, the way of knowledge? β
Rong Shu thought for a while, and chuckled: "Sister Kite, what do you say...... Hey! It's really a father and daughter. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong place. β
At this time, the little girl's voice came from outside: "Sister, it's time to eat." β
Ye Zhixing responded and helped Rongshu out of the house.
The meal was fairly simple, and the four of them ate in silence. Except for the voice of the little girl when she was tenderly picking up vegetables for her father, none of the three adults spoke.
The little girl ate quickly, then put down the dishes and chopsticks to take care of the blind man. But he fumbled and patted the little girl's back gently, and whispered, "Qingqing, let's go to the house and watch TV." Daddy finished eating. β
So her eyes turned around the three of them, and she said "hey" and ran into the back room.
The blind man put down the dishes and chopsticks and sat there quietly.
Ye Zhixing and Rong Shu glanced at each other, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Hearing this, the blind man ...... Yu left, coughed dullly, cleared his throat, and looked at their location with a pair of cloudy eyes.
"You see, my family is clear and clear, and we have something to say. This girl of my family...... Sensible since childhood. β
Ye Zhixing let out a "hmm".
The man continued, "You've been living here for a few days, and you're almost fine, aren't you?" β
No one answered. Then he said, "I am paralyzed, blind. Just count on such a daughter by her side. But, as I know, the identities of the two may not be what you say. β
"But I didn't say anything. I know that if a Taoist is forced to be in a hurry, he can do anything. Besides...... You also gave a lot of money to Qingqing. So I knew that the two of them were not bad people, maybe they had no way out, so they happened to hide in our house. β
"So......" Yu Zuo gently hammered his legs, "if you two want to leave in the next two days...... Let's go. Qingqing and I acted as if nothing had happened, and no one had ever met him. If someone asks...... What can I know as a blind man? If you ask clearly...... A little kid doesn't believe itβ"
Ye Zhixing interrupted him softly: "Don't worry. Qingqing, I like this kid very much. My brother is well, let's go. I'll come back to see her if it's done. β
Yu Zuo didn't speak, but turned his face to Eiki's side.
The night kite also elbowed him. So Rongshu nodded: "It's good to have all the words clear." You're also a sensible person, and the little girl is not bad. I listen to Sister Kite. Don't worry, you don't have anything to do. β
Yu Zuojian showed a smile on his face and nodded lightly: "Then Xie Lu Xie two." β
But Ye Zhixing sat there and thought about it...... raised his head again: "Do you have any other relatives in your family?" β
ββ¦β¦ Well? Yu Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then an uneasy look appeared on his face.
So Ye Zhixing continued: "It seems to ...... It's just your father and daughter. Let me ask, what do you think you should do after Qingqing? β
