If you enter Phoenix City from Peacock City and gallop wildly, you can arrive in one day. However, the Wang family's convoy was very procrastinated, and it was both family members and cages, and it was not much faster to walk than to walk, so it took three days to reach the capital.

Fortunately, the closer you get to Phoenix, the more prosperous it becomes, and there are many small counties and towns around the capital, so you won't sleep on the streets.

The place to stay at night is called Sparrow Town, the name takes some meaning, but the past pedestrians feel that although this town is very small, but although the Sparrow is small, there are all kinds of inns, restaurants, green buildings, casinos, car dealers, pawnshops, so later it was also a lot of commotion, and it was really renamed as Sparrow Town.

In fact, the town is very small, and it is also relative to several surrounding big cities, such as the capital Phoenix City, Peacock City, etc. There are two inns in the town, and the Wang family rented two courtyards in one of them, one courtyard for the masters and the other for the people. Wang Yuhe rested early, but Liu Ye slept in the carriage for too long during the day, but at night she got up, thinking about her box of things, and ran to the next yard to see the placement of the carriage convoy, it was already dark, although there were a few lights in the yard, it didn't work, she spent a long time to find her box, looked left and right to see that it was not damaged, clapped her hands and prepared to go back.

Because he came out in a hurry, he didn't wear a cloak, and he felt cold when he finished his errands, so he rubbed his hands and was about to return.

Suddenly, her ankle tripped over something, and she shook it, and was about to leave, when she heard a groan.

Liu Ye paused, looked left and right, and there was no one quietly.

Auditory hallucinations!

Let's go again......

"Ahem......"

Willow leaves trembled, no!

Looking back, there was probably no one either, so she looked down and saw a pair of small hands.

Liu Ye exhaled and patted his chest: "I thought that some little girl was going to stage another episode where the little girl saved the son in distress!" ”

Squatted down and looked at it, it was a little boy of three or four years old, his little face was red from the cold, there were some scratches on his face and hands, and his clothes were very shabby and thin. Such a child, Liu Ye can still be moved, holding the child in his arms, Liu Ye shivered, the child was so cold.

Liu Ye thought that there should be no danger for such a small child, but why would it appear in the yard that had been rented out? Didn't the guards in the courtyard find out?

After thinking about it, Liu Ye carried the little boy back to the yard next door.

Yan'er has already slept, and Tassel and Xiu'er are on duty today.

Liu Ye woke Yan'er up, and Yan'er was startled when she saw the little boy, and asked, "Where did this child come from?" ”

"In the courtyard next door, under the carriage, I grabbed me when I went to see the salute."

"Have you looked around? Is there any family for him? ”

"It's quiet around, there's no sound of looking for someone, and this kid is so cold, it's definitely not a moment or a half in the yard." Liu Ye was worried that he would have a fever for a while, so he hurriedly went down to find his mother-in-law to boil hot water, and when he came back, Yan'er was already wiping his body, and the child really had a fever.

"It's so late, I don't know where to go to get a doctor." Yan'er said.

"I'll go find the shopkeeper, he must know."

Liu Ye hurriedly ran out.

The shopkeeper is very familiar with dealing with this kind of emergency, and he brought a doctor in half an hour, because he had already said the symptoms in advance, and the old doctor had even asked the apprentice to bring all the medicinal materials that should be able to be used.

The little boy was so sick that he accidentally bumped into it when Yan'er was cleaning his wound, he frowned and snorted twice, and suddenly cried and shouted: "Mother, I hurt!" ”

Yan'er suddenly burst into tears, and her hands were softer.

The willow leaf decoction medicine came back, the little boy was still confused, Yan'er helped the little boy up and leaned on herself, the willow leaf fed him medicine with a spoon, and talked to him while blowing, the little boy drank the medicine, frowned and said, "Mother, bitter." ”

Yan'er turned her face, wiped her tears, and said, "Good boy, drink quickly, I'll give you candy when I'm done!" ”

The little boy seemed to listen, although he was still frowning, but the obedient brain drank all the medicine, and Yan'er took a piece of caramel from her box and stuffed it into the little boy's mouth.

Vaguely, the little boy seemed to smile.

He put the little boy under the covers and put a hand stove in it.

The little boy went back and forth at night, burned several times, said a few nonsense, and finally broke out in sweat at dawn, and the willow leaves were exhausted, and fell asleep against the bed.

Yan'er, who got up early, came in with hot water, covered the willow leaf with a piece of clothing, and reached out to touch it, the little boy's body had a fever, but he was sweating a little more, sticky, so he lifted the quilt to wipe the little boy's body.

Liu Ye woke up, went to see the little boy for the first time, and when she saw Yan'er's movements, she smiled: "Sister Yan'er, you must be a good wife and mother in the future!" ”

Yan'er was full of worries, but she was laughed at by this ridicule: "Little Nizi, talk nonsense all day long." ”

"I'll go to the inn's kitchen to take a look, maybe the porridge is ready, I'll find something for this kid to eat." Liu Ye also stood up and stretched, and ran out.

After half an hour, bring back a bowl of white porridge and a few pickles.

It just so happened that the little boy woke up, his eyes rolled, as if he found that the environment was unfamiliar, and suddenly sat up and shook his body.

"Are you awake, are you feeling better?" Yan'er hurriedly asked.

The little boy looked back and saw Yan'er, but moved back.

"It's good to wake up, what's wrong with this, burned confused?" Liu Ye walked over and dragged him over, touched his forehead, and said, "When I found you yesterday, you were already unconscious, and it was this sister Yan'er who took care of you carefully, you have to thank her well!" ”

The little boy's big black and white eyes turned, looked at Yan'er, and then looked at Liu Ye, saw her nodding, pursed his lips and said to Yan'er: "Thank you for this sister." ”

Yan'er saw him leaning on Liu Ye with a look of dependence, and suddenly felt that this picture was a little weird.

"It's dawn, it's about to leave, what should this kid do?" Yan'er asked as she quickly packed her things.

Liu Ye patted his head: "I'll go to Xiao Er and ask, by the way, Xiao Er, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Dongdong, and I got separated from my mother." The little boy spoke, his mouth flattened and tears welled up.

"Do you know your mother's name?"

"Uncle called her sister-in-law."

Yan'er and Liuye glanced at each other and smiled bitterly. I asked him again how he got here, and he didn't know anything.

"You eat something first, my sister will go out and ask you, see if your mother is nearby."

Liu Ye ran out to find the shopkeeper and asked him to inquire if there was a woman who had lost a three- or four-year-old boy, and the person who was looking for someone was a woman and her brother-in-law.

Tassel came back and saw that the little boy was also surprised, and after asking, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Just now, the old man sent a message to the young lady, saying that he would leave earlier today, this child ...... Can you entrust it to the inn? ”

Yan'er was stunned, who would dare to believe the innkeeper, but he couldn't take it away, and his mother might be looking for it everywhere.

A moment later, Willow Leaf returned, taking a man and a woman with her.

"Dongdong!" As soon as Fang entered the house, the woman saw the little boy and shouted and pounced.

"Mother!" Dongdong had just finished eating gruel, and when he saw the woman, he wiped his mouth and rushed over, and the mother and son hugged each other.

The man also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, turned around and said to Liu Ye: "Thank you for this girl, we found out that he was missing yesterday afternoon, and we have been following the street to find another place, but I didn't expect to find the wrong direction!" If it weren't for the girl, I'm really afraid that this night will pass, and he ......."

"I'm also a coincidence......," Liu Ye smiled, finally relieved.

Dongdong's mother was grateful, but she couldn't give any thanks, which was very embarrassing. Liu Ye could see that they were all dressed relatively plainly, and they looked like they were dusty.

"In this way, Dongdong Niang, it's good that your child has found it, he had a high fever yesterday, but he has already asked the doctor to see it, and the fever has subsided after taking medicine. This is the rest of the medicine, remember to give it to him, be careful and it should be fine. Liu Ye handed the remaining two pairs of medicine to Dong Dong Niang, and said, "We are also passers-by, and we will leave for Beijing later." ”

"This ...... How much is the cost of this consultation, we ......" Dongdong Niang hurriedly touched her waist, her eyebrows were gathered, and she must have been worried.

"You're welcome, my young lady doesn't care about the money, besides, the young lady said that it was a kind of fate to be able to meet here." Liu Ye pulled Wang Yuhe out to make a big flag, Dong Dong Niang put her hand down, and wanted to thank Miss, Liu Ye hurriedly said that she was very busy so she didn't have to bother.

Before leaving, he made a whole bag of candied candy and pastries, and Liu Ye secretly stuffed ten taels of silver in it.

Handing the package to Dongdong's uncle, Dongdong suddenly said that he was going to Xiaojie, Dongdong Niang smiled embarrassedly, and took Dongdong to the backyard.

"Miss Liu, thank you so much!" Dongdong's uncle said suddenly.

"Huh? It's nothing, didn't it happen? Liu Ye smiled faintly.

"You're going to Phoenix?"

"yes."

Uncle Dongdong pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Miss Liu, can I trouble you with something." ”

"What do you say first?"

"My sister-in-law and I have been looking for someone for the past two years, and last month I heard someone say that he had seen him in the capital, so we are going to go to Beijing to find him, but the two of us have limited ability after all, if Miss Liu has the opportunity after entering Beijing, can you help find him."

"So, who are you looking for?"

"My brother got separated shortly after he came out of his hometown three years ago, and my sister-in-law and I have been looking for him."

"What's your name, how old are you, and what does it look like?"

"It's called Fang Qing, and I'm twenty-six years old."
