Chapter 54: No Evil
The old man rushed over without thinking about it, and the little boy was already standing up, but because his body was too thin, he was still staggering when he stood up.
"Are you alright?"
The hometown went over in time to help him up, and he didn't care about his dirty body at all.
The little boy froze obviously, and his eyes fell on the slender jade hands painted with bright red beads, ten fingertips like bamboo shoots, and wrists like white lotus roots, gently grasping his arms.
There was also a good smell of roses between the snorts.
The little boy looked up.
It was a beautiful face, with the delicate budding of a young woman, her eyes were like apricots, her lips were red without dotting, and her eyebrows were green without painting.
She was looking at him with concern at the moment.
The little boy came back to his senses and shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you." ”
Looking at the little boy, who is only eleven or twelve years old, how can he be so thin, thin and downcast?
At this time, the crown prince and Lie Chang'an had already come over, and when they saw this battle, since they witnessed it with their own eyes, they must not sit idly by, and the prince, as the future prince, saw that this battle was bullying, and he was even more angry.
Without waiting for his hometown to ask, he walked over and asked, "Little friend, what's going on?" Why did they hit you? ”
When the little boy heard this, he frowned and retorted very dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a child, I'm fifteen years old." ”
Fifteen?
The hometown was shocked, seeing that this boy was not as tall as her, how could he be fifteen years old?
It seems that it is really caused by long-term malnutrition.
The hometown is becoming more and more distressed now, obviously the same age as her and the prince's brother, but the situation is so sad.
The villagers who were watching next to him were already uneven, and the two men and women who came were all brocade clothes and satin, and their temperament was not bad, and they were either rich or expensive characters at first glance, thinking that they would definitely be able to make decisions for this little boy, so you and I said the situation in a word.
It turned out that the little boy's name was Wei Qingheng, who had just turned fifteen years old, lost his father at an early age, and had a sick bedridden mother and a younger sister at home.
As for the middle-aged man who scolded him just now, he obviously has the temperament of a nouveau riche, and it is the rich man in this village who is unstoppable, who runs rampant and domineering in the village all day long, doing evil, not only looting people's money, but also often robbing people's daughters, which can be described as doing all kinds of evil.
As for the scene just now, it was the rich man who snatched Wei Qingheng's money to buy medicine for his mother's illness, and those money were all paid by Wei Qingheng for doing farm work for the nearby villagers day and night during this time.
As a result, it was not easy to get together a little silver, but it was robbed by the rich man, Wei Qingheng was angry, so he naturally came to the door to ask for it, and the scene just now happened.
After hearing this, he was very angry and hurriedly shouted, "Jasmine." ”
Jasmine understood, and immediately took out a silver ingot from her cuff and handed it to her hometown.
The hometown stuffed the silver into Wei Qingheng's hand, "Take it quickly, go and treat your mother." ”
Wei Qingheng raised his head, his face was dirty, unkempt, and he looked embarrassed, but he had a pair of inky eyes, very bright, and he was staring at the woman in front of him who did not hesitate to help him at this moment.
The softness of the palm of the hand is a touch that is completely different from that of my sister and mother.
Wei Qingheng handed the silver back and shook his head, "This is not my silver, I can't ask for it." ”。
I didn't expect this little boy to be so stubborn until now, and this strong self-esteem made her speechless for a while.
