Hearing the movement, the boy suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which were covered by messy hair, looked at several people through the gap.

The eyes are fierce, vigilant, and faintly uneasy.

Like a little beast in a desperate situation.

Seeing a few people dressed up, the ferocity was subdued, but the vigilance and anxiety were still there.

Liu Dalin stopped the ox cart, and Old Man Liu took the little girl down and walked over together.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Old Man Liu raised his voice and took the lead in asking.

The boy's lips were pursed tightly, and he stared at a few people without speaking.

Getting closer, Liu Yusheng also saw the situation of the two more clearly.

The fabric they wore was not very good, but it was not bad, but it was dirty, and there were many torn spots in their clothes, and their hair was unkempt, and their faces were covered with dust.

The woman who fell to the ground was now very pale, her lips were chapped, and her eyes were closed, and she must have fainted.

Liu Dalin frowned, "I'm afraid I'm going to get sunburned." ”

"Daddy, water!" Liu Yusheng reminded that this woman should be too tired, and she was suffering from heat stroke in the hot weather, so she added spiritual springs to the water at home, and drinking it could relieve the symptoms.

Liu Dalin hurriedly untied the water bag from his waist, and poured the water bag into the woman's mouth without caring about the defense of men and women.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the sun was hot, and it was very sunny.

Fortunately, there is a shade of trees overhead, blocking the scorching heat of direct sunlight.

The boy also saw that several people were willing to help, so he didn't stop him in the process, but his eyes kept on the woman, and his clenched little fists leaked nervousness.

Liu Yusheng glanced at him, his gaze stopped at his also chapped lips, took the water bag from Liu Dalin, and handed it to him.

Looking at the water bag in front of him, the boy's eyes moved to Liu Yusheng's face a little sluggishly, and what he saw was a bright smile with kindness.

"Brother, drink."

He took it with a little hesitation in both hands, looked deeply at the smiling face, and the boy raised his head to drink water.

The water was cool and sweet, and he swallowed unconsciously faster, and did not stop until the water bag was almost bottomed out.

Xu realized that he had drunk too much, and when he returned the water bag, the boy had a faint embarrassment in his eyes.

Liu Yusheng pursed his lips and smiled, then took out a few more grains of candy from his arms and handed them to him, "Here." ”

The small white palm is very beautiful against the background of the brown sugar paper.

When he picked up the candy cube, his fingertips inadvertently swiped the girl's palm, and the warmth and softness he felt made his fingertips hot.

"Ahem!" On the ground, the unconscious woman woke up in time.

"Big sister, wake up? How does it feel, are you feeling better? ”

The woman had a pair of beautiful eyes, swept over a few people, seemed to quickly understand the current situation, and sat up, "I'm much better, thank you......"

"No thanks, but it's too hot, you can't stay outside all the time, hurry home, where do you live, do you want us to give you a ride? It was also convenient for us to drive the ox cart. Old Man Liu asked.

"Thank you for your kindness, our house is nearby, just walk back by yourself. I don't know where the old man's house is, for the life-saving grace, the little woman will definitely come to thank him in the future. ”

"Hey! Say what to say thank you or not, the township neighbors do a favor, what a big deal! We live in Xinghua Village, and the eldest sister has time to come to the door, don't mention the word thank you! The old man laughed twice and picked up the little girl, "It's hot, don't delay too much, let's go first." ”

The woman smiled and nodded.

The ox cart wheeled around and continued slowly in the direction of home.

Behind him, under the big tree, a pair of eyes watched the ox cart disappear before it was withdrawn.

"Xiu'er, I'm worried about you," the woman reached out and gently rubbed the top of the boy's hair in the shade, "When we find a place to stay, we won't have to wander around again." ”

After days of running around and the scorching heat, she could feel that her body couldn't bear it, and when she couldn't hold it out, she was afraid that she wouldn't wake up again.

She still feels hard as an adult, and Xiu'er must be even more uncomfortable at her age.

It's time to find a place to settle down.

It's so far away, those people won't chase after them anymore.

Slowly stood up and smiled at the baby, "Let's go." ”

“…… Xinghua Village. The immature voice, spitting out three words, was very light.

"Xiu'er?"

"Xinghua Village." He repeated.

This time, the woman looked down at him for a long time before she said, "We can't have anything to do with anyone, otherwise it is likely to affect others, Xiu'er, remember your identity, you are different from them." ”

The boy stopped talking, only half-lowered his eyes, and insisted silently.

He had never asked of her, for the first time.

In the end, the woman compromised, "Let's go, Xinghua Village." ”

……

In this compartment, Old Man Liu and his entourage returned home and moved the big bags and small bags of things out of the carriage.

Knowing that Old Man Liu's body was completely well, Lingzhi was also sold for forty taels of silver, and the family was overjoyed.

The two boulders that had been pressing on my heart for the past few days were finally unloaded, and I was relaxed.

Mrs. Liu touched the brand-new fabric in her hand, nodded and murmured, "Good, good, really good......"

The two daughters-in-law sat next to her and smiled at each other.

There are also two boys in the family, when they see that set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they are simply crazy.

"Grandparents! Dad, mother, can my brother and I go to school? ”

"Yes, Ming'er will send you to the school!"

"Ahhh We can really go to school! In the future, we will also be readers! ”

The joy of the two boys infected everyone in the room.

Studying and going to school means being superior to others in the future.

For the sake of the children's future, the family has been working hard for several years, and it is easy to save some silver.

Just when everyone thought that things were hopeless, there was another twist and turn.

Looking back now, I still have mixed feelings in my heart.

"Old woman, this is the rest of the silver, you keep it." Old Man Liu took out the remaining silver and put it in front of Old Man Liu, and also used it to dilute the sourness in the air, "Thirty-six taels and four dollars, it's all here." ”

Mrs. Liu was stunned, "Thirty-six taels or four dollars?" You guys spent three or six dollars today?! ”

"......" Old Man Liu and Liu Dalin stepped back in unison, wanting to slip away.

"Huh!" Old woman Liu sneered, picked up the broom in her hand and chased after the two of them, "You two losers!" Is it easy to make some money? This is still the silver that I picked up with good luck, and you will lose three or two six with a wave of your big hand! It's enough for a family to chew for a year! My two grandchildren's reading money! My dowry...... I—I'll kill you, I'll kill you! ”

Three, two, six dollars! My heart is bleeding!
