61. Three dates: a thought of compassion
Early the next morning, Li Keding was still asleep in a daze, and was woken up from his sleep by Kejing.
The two finished breakfast here together and came to Yiliu Lake to prepare for ice skating.
After a while, Li Kexiu, Li Keqi, Li Kezhi, and Li Keping all arrived. Li Kexiu and Li Keqi brothers and sisters, one sixteen years old and the other fifteen years old, are the children of the third master Li Shunan. Li Kezhi and Li Keping brothers are under the age of fourteen, they are the twin sons of the fourth master Li Jinan, they are already quite strong, both of them are very active and not quiet, they basically don't know anything about reading books and articles, but they like to play with guns and sticks. These two brothers are the most stubborn and difficult to manage in school, and Ke Jing once commented that they are a pair of reckless husbands.
The six people gathered, Li Kejing had people shovel the snow on the ice aside, and the Kezhi and Keping brothers were the most active, taking the lead in going down to the ice and rowing the ice car. Li Keqi is a small foot, and his movement is not as convenient as everyone's, so Li Kexiu has to take care of her more and help her slowly walk to the ice. Li Kejing commanded the maid and put her ice car over, Li Keding looked at the younger brothers and sisters, happy and proud.
Steward Dong heard that all the young masters and young ladies were playing here, and hurriedly sent someone to bring hot tea, and instructed someone to take care of it.
When a few people were playing happily, they heard a noise in the sky, looked up, and saw two crows chasing a pigeon. The pigeon had been cornered with nowhere to go, and in a whirlwind, it was almost caught by a crow, and a few feathers fell off its body, and floated in the air with the wind.
Seeing that the pigeon's space for maneuvering is getting smaller and smaller, and it is flying lower and lower, only to avoid it on the surface of the lake, and it is bound to be poisoned by the crow, Ke Jing hurriedly asked Li Keding to save it. Li Keding smiled bitterly, they are flying in the sky, where can I save them. But knowing that Ke Jing has always been compassionate, he had to run to the shore and pick up a few pebbles to ** crow. It's a pity that the crow flies so fast that the stones are all out of sight, and they don't even want to hit them.
The brothers and sisters all went ashore at this time, looking for stones and crows, and they were very happy. But after a few pigeons in the air went up and down, it was obvious that they were out of strength, and their movements were no longer flexible, and there was no way to escape, so they landed under the linden tree on the shore. The two crows also landed, holding down the pigeon with their paws and pecking it with its beak, and the pigeon's feathers flew wildly when it landed. Ke Jing felt pity for the pigeon in her heart and wanted to drive away the crow, so she hurriedly pulled Li Keding straight to the crow. Before he got close, a crow suddenly jumped up and pecked at Ke Jing, who was so frightened that she flashed back, the snow under her feet was slippery, and she almost fell. Li Keding hurriedly supported her, while raising his foot to kick the crow, it turned out that the crow was just posturing, taking advantage of the panic of the comer, flapping its wings, and both flew away.
Kejing squatted down, and saw that the pigeon was bloodstained and seriously injured, so he reached out and hugged it, and said to Li Keding: "Let's go back quickly and find someone to treat it." ”
Everyone gathered around, and Li Kexiu saw that the pigeon was fat, so he said, "This pigeon, I think it is very delicious, let's stew it at noon." After Ke Jing heard this, she immediately glared at her and scolded her younger brother, "What do you want? There is no compassion at all. ”
Li Kexiu was afraid of his sister since he was a child, so he had to whisper on the side: "Do you want to keep it?" ”
Li Keqi said to Li Kexiu: "Second brother, you know that the big sister pities the weak, how pitiful this pigeon is, if you don't go to help heal it, and say such cruel words, the big sister will be sad." ”
"I'm just kidding, but you're all taking it seriously." Li Kexiu had no choice but to say.
"It's not like a joke to see you like that." Li Keqi remembered his grandfather's words, and said, "Second brother, don't forget, my grandfather once taught us that inadvertent acts of kindness will bring endless blessings to people. ”
"Yes, my grandfather said that compassion is far away from the thought of grace, you see, Keqi remembers his grandfather's teachings." Li Keding said in the tone of a big brother, "Kexiu, you have to pay attention in the future." ”
"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Li Kexiu thought to himself, isn't it just a pigeon, you make a big fuss, and you don't think so. But Li Keding is now teaching him as the eldest brother, and he has moved out of his grandfather, so he has to pretend to agree seriously.
So the brothers and sisters chirped, took the pigeons, and discussed how to treat them all the way to Li Kejing's residence.
Li Keding saw that the pigeon was seriously injured, bleeding profusely, and was dying. Thinking that if he didn't find a doctor for treatment and let it fend for itself, Ke Jing would definitely be sad, so he asked someone outside to hurry up and ask for a doctor.
After a short time, a doctor entered the hall, and Li Keding carefully took out the pigeon. The doctor looked at it and saw that it was a dying pigeon, and said with a smile: "Young master, are you in such a hurry and sent someone to call me, just to treat the pigeon's injuries?" Li Keding had to smile and said: "Exactly, please work hard, if you can be cured, I will thank you again." The doctor carefully applied some medicine to the pigeon, bandaged it briefly, and said, "I can't save it in this way, if the young master trusts me, let me take the pigeon back for treatment, and after seven days, it should be cured." ”
Li Keding was afraid that Kejing would not be at ease after he took away the pigeons, so he asked: "You came here for treatment, isn't it the same" The doctor said: "Don't hide it from the young master, in fact, it is the director of the clumsy Jing to treat the birds, so I dare to say this to you." ”
"I see." Li Keding said to the doctor, "Please wait a moment." ”
After saying that, Li Keding entered the room and asked Li Kejing if he could ask the doctor to take the pigeon away.
Ke Jing was inside, and he had already heard the conversation between the two, and there was no other way, so he said yes.
Li Keding came out and asked the doctor to take the pigeons away and go back for good treatment.
So, the doctor got up to say goodbye, and after Li Keding thanked him, he asked him to take two pieces of ocean to him.
The third brother, Li Kezhi, and the fourth brother, Li Keping, had not had enough fun just now, and when they saw the pigeon being taken away, they remembered that there was a crow's nest on the big locust tree in the back garden, so it was better to poke it to save them from annoying there. Ke Jing was an active person, and when she saw that everyone still wanted to play, she said, "Let's go, go and poke the crow's nest, it's so high, I'll see how you can get it." ”
Don't look at Li Kezhi and Li Keping are under 14 years old, their bodies have not yet grown, but their hearts are already very big, and they always feel that what adults can do, they can do well.
The group came to the back garden and saw that the acacia tree was five zhang high, and the crow's nest was about three zhang high, whether it was with bamboo poles or others, it could not be obtained.
Li Keding listened to it and laughed secretly in his heart: "I used to be the same as them, but now that I am older, I no longer find it interesting to mess with things like birds' nests, but the busy appearance of the brothers is more like my former self." ’
Seeing that the brothers had no way to take the crow's nest for a while, Li Keding hesitated because he was thinking about how to see Lu Wan, so he called Shang Kejing to his room, took out a handkerchief, showed her and said: "This handkerchief is Lu Wan's, when she lent it to me, I secretly hid it and never returned it to her, do you see if it looks good." ”
Ke Jing took the handkerchief, and saw that it was embroidered with silk thread and bluegrass, the material embroiderers were all of the best, imagining how shy Lu Wan would be when he took out the handkerchief to Li Keping, and smiled and said: "This handkerchief is very good-looking." However, you are really a liar, you secretly hid other people's things without their consent, if she asks you for it, what will you do? ”
