There are people, but when they came out and saw that it was a little girl in shabby clothes, they looked down a little, and opened the door and planned to close it, thinking...... Most of them came to ask for food.

"Hey, I haven't spoken yet, why are you closing the door?" Yue'er doesn't understand, why is she so rude?

The house slave guarding the door looked at her coldly, "Needless to say, you know what you want to do, wait!" ”

"Oh, me?" Yue'er was stunned, waiting?

Could it be that they are really the people that the little brother is looking for?

At a glance, you know that the little brother is in trouble, so he went to move the rescuers?

However, the truth is ......

Yue'er held the broken bowl, looked at the leftovers in the bowl, frowned tightly, looked up at the closed door, and felt angry for the first time in her heart, "I didn't even say I wanted food, what are you doing for me?" I'm here for someone, you idiots! ”

She kicked on the vermilion lacquer door, "Open the door!" ”

The house slave guarding the door also got angry, opened the door angrily, and roared at her, "Little girl, I've given you food, what else do you want?" There are so many refugees outside, there is not even a mouthful of food, it is good that you can eat these, where to stay where it is cool, this is not a good hall, if you dare to make a fuss, be careful to report to the official to arrest you! ”

"I'm not here to ask for food, how many times do you want me to say it?" Yue'er was angry, stuffed the leftovers back into his hand, and then stuffed the strip of cloth given by the little brother to him, "Look at this!" ”

The house slave guarding the door was a little surprised, looked at the things handed by the little girl, and hesitated for a while, "Are you here to find someone?" ”

"Someone must have come looking for it!" Yue'er pouted, "I'm not asking for food!" ”

The house slave guarding the door frowned slightly, this Fu family is a big family, and I don't know where to come from poor relatives? But this little girl looks like a watery girl, and she doesn't look vulgar, I'm afraid that someone's family is in trouble and left such a little thing, right?

"You wait, I'll let the steward take a look!" The house slave guarding the door looked around, "Don't go away! ”

Yue'er nodded again and again, and stood at the door honestly waiting.

In the rainy weather, the clothes were wet again, and when the wind blew, people shivered from the cold.

Fortunately, she was not afraid of the cold by nature, although she was a little shivering, but it was not to the point of being cold, and she carefully leaned into the corner of the door to avoid the wind, which was considered to be warm.

After more than half an hour, the door finally reopened, and a middle-aged man walked out from inside, probably a housekeeper, and looked at the little girl in front of him carefully, "You gave this thing?" ”

"Hmm!" Yue'er nodded, blinking her big bright eyes, "Uncle, this thing belongs to my little brother, he is sick and can't move while lying in the broken temple, so he told me to send it, I don't know if it's here, he said it's a big courtyard in the west of the city, there are two big stone lions, and an osmanthus tree." ”

The butler glanced at the door and smiled to himself, "It's a clever little girl!" In this way, you go back first, after all, I haven't received any news that the main family has lost someone. I have received the address, I will return to my master, if I really lose someone, I must go to you, can it? ”

"Good!" Yue'er carefully took back the strip of cloth, "Uncle Na, do you know any other house nearby that has stone lions and osmanthus trees?" ”

The butler thought for a moment, "Why don't you go ahead?" I don't know the specifics. ”

Yue'er nodded, "Thank you!" ”

The housekeeper stood there, looking at the little figure, disappearing into the rain, never thinking that one day later, the little girl would grow up and be brought back by her own son-in-law and become the young lady of the Fu family.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

The old mansion of the Fu family in Kyoto City, at that time, had not received news from Hengzhou City, and I didn't know that my little son had lost it, otherwise how could she be allowed to leave alone.

Yue'er asked from door to door, asking if she had lost her child, but in the end she couldn't find anyone.

Before dark, Yue'er went to the hospital hungry.

"I'm just afraid of the cold, I don't know why, I'm very weak." Yue'er didn't know how to describe it, "Older than me, and then very thin and without much strength." ”

The doctor thought for a while, "Give you tonic medicine, warm and recuperate." ”

"Good!" Yue'er doesn't understand that.

Since she was a child, she has never taken any medicine, nor has she been sick, so naturally she doesn't know what those things are used for, she only knows that her little brother is not in good health and needs to take some medicine.

Just a few packets of medicine are already all her belongings, in addition, she also changed some steamed buns, and all the silver has been spent, that is to say, in the next few days, until Uncle Yang comes back, she and her little brother will live on these steamed buns.

"Yes, take good care of it!" Yue'er muttered to herself.

After returning to the broken temple, Yue'er carefully held the steamed buns in her arms, the steamed buns in the oil-paper bag had already gradually cooled down, and it didn't matter if she hugged them, but this medicine ......

"Where's your medicine jar?" Yue'er asked.

The old beggar rubbed his eyes and slept more when he was hungry, which would reduce physical exertion. Are you sick? Little girl, what's uncomfortable? ”

"No, I bought some medicine for my little brother, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to last long, so I ......" Yue'er carried three packets of medicine in her arms, "One pack a day, take it for three days first." ”

"You're buying him medicine?" The old beggar was shocked, "Are you crazy? How much silver do you have? How good is it to keep it for food? When is it now, you can't even take care of yourself, and you still take care of him, is your brain in water? ”

Yue'er glared at him, "I don't want my little brother to die." ”

The old beggar opened his mouth, but at last he swallowed the words, for when he turned around, someone was staring at him coldly, and he was covered in hair.

When he is old, there is always something wrong with him, so the old beggar has a treasure medicine jar.

Plain, but also into the mountains to dig some herbs, what headache and brain fever, try to treat it yourself, it is impossible to go to the hospital, it costs money.

Poor people, how can they have money to spend in the hospital, as long as they can't die, they try not to see a disease, this is the source of all sorrow.

The word "poor" is a life-threatening talisman, you know that money is a good thing, but you can't help it!

Just like now, Yue'er is decocting the medicine, and there is only a little thing left in her arms, which can probably support it for a few days, and in these few days, she has to think of a way to let herself and her little brother live.

Ah Jiu sat on the haystack, leaning weakly on the pillar, he heard the conversation between her and the old beggar, and heard it clearly, although she didn't find the old mansion of the Fu family, but she used all her silver taels to grab the medicine for him.

She didn't know that his illness stemmed from old wounds, old wounds that had been carried on his body since he was born, and those medicines could not cure him at all, and even his cold illness could not be restrained.

However, when Yue'er brought the medicine to him, he just frowned, stared at her without a moment, his face flushed with the smoke of the potion, and then drank the potion. 596

There are still the last two sugar gourds left, and the sugar has long since melted, leaving only the discolored sugar hawthorn.

"Let's eat!" Yue'er handed it to him with a smile, "If you don't eat it, it will be bad, and after taking the medicine, if you don't eat something flavorful, I'm afraid it will be bitter all the time, and you won't take the medicine obediently when the time comes!" ”

She coaxed him like a child, but forgot that he was older than her, and he was the little brother.

"Open your mouth obediently and eat!" Yue'er coaxed him.

Ah Jiu opened his mouth, the hawthorn was actually not sweet, the sugar had long since melted, and the remaining hawthorn ...... Very sour!

"After taking the medicine, you can rest well, and when you wake up, I will give you steamed bread, if you think the steamed bread is too hard, then I will help you boil some water, and you will eat it with hot water." Yue'er spoke very quietly, her eyes constantly glancing at the group of refugees not far away.

You know, if they know that she still has a few steamed buns in her arms, these people may not be crazy.

After taking the medicine, Ah Jiu fell asleep, but it was extremely peaceful.

Yue'er was very excited, the little brother could sleep so peacefully, thanks to these medicines.

"Rejoice! How happy can you be? The old beggar sneered.

Yue'er doesn't care about this, as long as the little brother can sleep well and get better, she doesn't regret doing this at all. Seeing that her little brother was asleep, she took a mouthful of steamed buns and stuffed them into her mouth, then took some rain and pretended to have eaten them!

The rest of the steamed buns are still left to the little brother!

"Little brother, get better!" She said in a low voice.

Ah Jiu lay there, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, but he didn't open them in the end.

The rain has stopped in the end.

It's just that there are more and more refugees, even if they are refugees in the broken temple, there are people who are dying quietly, either starving to death, or dying of disease...... How easy it is to die.

If you close your eyes, you die.

I can't wait for the dawn, only for the mournful wailing of my relatives.

It's like the child in the woman's arms, obviously only two or three years old, and has a long life, who knows...... I never woke up in my mother's arms again, and my mother cried heartbreakingly, but so what?

She herself can't live anymore.

The child died in his mother's arms, gradually stiffened, and finally was thrown out and hastily buried, without even a decent tomb, and no one would come to worship in the future.

"Dead!" Yue'er's lips were chapped, looking at Ah Jiu, who also had yellow muscles and thin muscles, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, will the little brother disappear silently like that?

Ah Jiu could naturally see the change in her expression, "Are you afraid that I will die?" ”

"Hmm!" Yue'er nodded.

It's been a few days, those steamed buns have long been eaten, she went to the stream early in the morning to knock it, even the grass roots have been dug up, and it is impossible to eat anything more.

Not all the bark of the trees can be eaten, not all the grass roots can be eaten, so many refugees flocked to the city of Kyoto and were expelled from the city, and what they should eat and drink, what they could eat and drink, they had long been plundered.

It is already a blessing in misfortune to be able to keep this broken temple, and now there are many people living in the courtyard of the broken temple, which has become a gathering place for refugees, and everyone is gathered in one place, helplessly waiting for death.

There was no food, no clothes, no quilts, some people died of wind and cold, and some people went out and never came back......

"Old beggar?" The moon whispers.

The old beggar was already dying, "This time I can't sleep, I don't care if I drink water, I can't get enough food, I can't go into the city...... It's impossible! ”

The people of the imperial court have already guarded the gate of the city, and there may be a way to live when they enter the city, but it is really a dead end outside, but the key is that they can't get in!

Yue'er's eyebrows condensed slightly, and she looked at the old beggar tightening her belt.

"Anything else?" The old beggar asked weakly, he was already in a desperate situation, "The strength is gone!" ”

To put it mildly, it takes a long breather.

If it goes on like this, it's really going to hang!

"It's gone!" Yue'er lowered her eyes.

The old beggar sighed, "So, if you don't buy him medicine, how good would it be?" If you buy medicine and take medicine, don't you still starve to death? It's better to be a full ghost than to starve to death, isn't it? ”

"But......" Yue'er struggled to stand up, because she was hungry and panicked, and her body shook when she got up.

Ah Jiu was shocked and stretched out his hand.

Fortunately, she stood up again, shook her head, turned around and smiled at him, "I'm fine, little brother, you have a good rest here, I'll go find something to eat!" ”

"Are you okay?" Ah Jiu was also hungry, this was the only time in his life that he was hungry.

At this moment, he realized what kind of happy life he had lived, food and clothing were so important, and there was nothing happier than being alive!

"I'm fine!" Yue'er smiled with crooked eyebrows, she had been starving for the past few days, her chin was so thin that her chin was pointed, and the whole person seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, "You guys stay here, don't go out, there is no shelter outside, this is the last place!" ”

Ah Jiu looked at her fixedly, his eyes surging with reluctance, "Be careful!" ”

His body is not suitable to go out, otherwise it will drag her down.

"Hmm!" Yue'er nodded, "Old beggar, help me take care of my little brother!" ”

The old beggar waved his hand, "Go, if you can find something to eat, remember to leave me a mouthful, I don't want to starve to death yet." ”

"I'll find a way to get into town!" Yue'er gasped and walked out tremblingly.

I don't know why, Ah Jiu was a little flustered and inexplicable...... Very panicked!
