Chapter 292: Taking Care of Orphans
I finally survived until the light of day. "Mother, I'm hungry." Xun'er dreamed, opened his eyes, and was met by an unfamiliar face.
He cried, "Mother, I want mother." He turned his head around and went to find his mother.
His mother lay motionless on the ground. He broke free of Myoka's arm and fell straight to the ground. The state of his mother frightened him, and he didn't care about the pain of the fall. Throw yourself down next to your mother and shake her vigorously.
The mother will not respond to him anymore. The young child has already experienced death, and the state of the mother is death, he knows it. Because Daddy fell in a pool of blood, that's all.
Xun'er got up and put his mother's head on his lap, and he stopped crying, as if all of a sudden he had transitioned from an ignorant child to an old and serious child.
He said; "Mother, I will avenge my father, I will avenge my father."
He raised his face to look at Myoka, and the immature childish voice repeated. When his mother took him out of the house, his mother told him, "Xun'er, let's go and avenge my father."
Along the way, when they were starving, my mother said, Xun'er, bear with it, we have to avenge our father, we must persevere.
His mother led him and walked a long way, and he was so tired that he couldn't walk. The mother said, Xun'er, bear with it, let's go to avenge my father, Xun'er insist.
In his young heart, he remembered his mother's words, and now that his mother is dead, he will avenge his father's revenge.
The child's immature voice and sad eyes made Miaokong cry. He had intended to leave the letter here with the woman's body, but now he had changed his mind.
He wrapped the envelope and his lump in a tarpaulin and carried it close to his arms. Squatted down and looked into Xun'er's eyes and said, "Xun'er, you have to grow up quickly and learn skills, so that you can have a chance to avenge your father." ”
Xun'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and then pouted and cried again. He picked up Xun'er and said to him, "Xun'er, let's leave your mother and mother to rest here, and uncle will take you away." ”
Xun'er broke his fingers, turned back and sat down beside his mother, no longer crying, hanging his head to accompany his mother.
Myoku didn't rush him, silently stepped aside, he looked around for tools, trying to dig a pit to bury the woman.
After looking for a long time without a tool, I will use a slightly sharp stone to dig a hole in the ground.
Xun'er hugged her mother's head and pressed her cheek to her cold cheeks, her mother's face was already pale, her lips were purple, and her cheeks were cold and cold.
In the past, when I was at home, I played with children of the same age. When he hears the news of someone who has died, he will feel inexplicably afraid.
Hanging out with children will bypass the family's residence. Standing on the side from afar, I watched their house set up a white mourning hall, which was white and terrifying.
But now that he is with the corpse of his mother, he has no fear except for the reluctance to part with his mother.
Myokora really couldn't dig a human-shaped hole out of stone, and dig out a shallow layer of soil. Walked over and picked up Xun'er. Xun'er nestled in his arms, his body trembling slightly.
"Shun'er, we should get out of here." Myokora comforted him until he stopped shaking and put him down.
He lifted the woman and lowered her into a shallow pit, and sprinkled two handfuls of dirt on her. He took the eldest and the other small and bowed three times to the woman.
Miaokong picked up Xun'er and left, and Xun'er lay on his shoulder and kept looking in the direction where his mother was. He didn't turn around until he could no longer see his mother.
"Uncle, I will listen to you." Xun'er said to him, with a cautious flattery in her eyes. Line
"Uncle will be by Xun'er's side." Myoka promised.
Only then did Xun'er turn around and put his hands around Miaokong's neck, and he hugged him very tightly. His father and mother were dead, and this uncle was his only support.
It was already dark, and they saw people in a mountain depression. The residents here were scattered, and following the barking of dogs, they touched the door of a house.
The big dog barked at them inside the wood gate. The master heard the noise and came out to open the wood door. Xun'er was so frightened that she curled up in his arms, and kicked her feet it.
The owner held the oil lamp in his hand and held it up and shone it in their faces. "The poor monk is a walking monk, and today he disturbed the donor and wanted to ask for a fasting meal."
The master looked at the child in his arms, the boy was listless, cold and hungry all the way, the pain of losing his relatives, and inflicted on the child, Xun'er was not in a good state.
The master looked up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and a monk with a child looked very haggard.
Myoka felt the need to explain, "That..."
"Uncle, I'm hungry." Xun'er whispered, looking up at the brightly lit room.
"Come in." The owner said, evicting the big dog aside.
Miaokong carried the child into the house, the owner opened the door curtain, and entered the house on the west side, "The child and her mother, go and make some food, and a monk with a child came." ”
The master came out and let Myokora into the house on the east side. Shun'er got down to the ground and leaned on Myoka's knees.
The owner called for washing water, and Miaokong asked Xun'er: "Is it a compliment?" Shun'er nodded, holding Myoku's fingers.
"Where's the latrine?" Only then did the master realize that they were going to go to the latrine, put down the wooden basin, and took them out.
The big dog of the family followed him to hunt, and he was very fierce, and he tied the big dog under the tree. The two of them came out of the latrine, and the woman came out of the room dressed and met them at the door.
The woman was more surprised than her husband at the combination. Asked directly: "Where did the monk come from?" ”
Xun'er saw the woman's eyes fixed on her, dodging behind Miaokong, grabbing the placket of his clothes.
"The child of the poor monk's relatives, take him to Wutai Mountain to make a wish." Myokora made up a not-so-convincing excuse.
The woman doubted and went to the kitchen. The two of them washed their hands and faces, and Xun'er did not leave Miaokong every inch. He went to pour water, and Xun'er dragged him by the hem of his clothes.
The meal was served quickly, no husked millet rice, sweet potatoes, a plate of pickles. Xun'er is holding a rice bowl like a little adult, and the millet rice with the shell is chewed in the mouth with some teeth.
In addition to showing the characteristics of a little monster for a while, the changes in his life made him grow up overnight. He ate quietly, eating even the last grain of rice in the bowl.
Put down the dishes and chopsticks and quietly watch Myokora eat. Xun'er's changes made him feel distressed in Miaokong's eyes. A change in life can make a person change their face.
He asked softly, "Xun'er, I'm eating a sweet potato." ”
Xun'er put his hand on his stomach, thought about it, or picked up a piece of sweet potato and ate it slowly. He was so hungry that he instinctively chose to store more when he saw the food. Miao Kong's heart became more and more distressed about this child.
The two of them had a full meal, Miaokong cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Xun'er stuck to his leg, following up.
