Chapter 401: Helping Others
Today coincides with the big gathering, and the streets are full of people.
In the Half Lotus Pavilion, the spirit fairy sat in the corner of the rest area, quietly watching the endless flow of people outside.
The young lady went upstairs to rest without her accompaniment, and she couldn't interfere with the business downstairs, and she was a little bored sitting down, and just as she wanted to get up and go out for a walk, she saw that the little girl who asked her to deliver the letter last time came again.
The little girl did not come in immediately when she walked to the door, but hesitated outside the door for a long time, and it took a long time before she mustered up the courage to open the vines in front of the store.
Li Yan was looking down behind the counter to settle the accounts, feeling that the light on the right side suddenly strengthened, thinking that there was a guest, she turned her head over with a smile and was about to say hello, but who knows, it was actually a small head poking in.
She said with surprise on her face: "Nianfu, why are you, come in." “
When the little girl heard this, she looked at the layout of the store, looked at her clothes and shoes, blushed and shook her head: "Sister Yan, I won't go in, I came this time to thank you, if it weren't for your gift of elixir to remove the scar on my face, I wouldn't be able to see people in the future. Let Nianfu cook a meal for you as a token of appreciation. “
Invite her to dinner?
Li Yan was slightly surprised, and then responded: "Okay, it just so happens that I will rest the day after tomorrow, and I will try your craftsmanship then." ”
Seeing that she agreed, the little girl immediately smiled: "Okay, then we have decided, I will go home and let my brother net more fish, and then make a whole fish feast for my sister." ”
"Okay." Li Yan came out of the counter with a smile, bent down and said, "By the way, Nianfu, where do you live?" ”
"Linjia Village in the west of the city, my sister walked out of the West City Gate and went east, about a mile away, and the third household in the village is my house."
"Okay, I remember."
"Sister, I'll go first."
"Wait." Li Yan stopped her, quickly turned to the rest area, took out a white handkerchief embroidered with plum from her sleeve, picked up a few pastries from the table and wrapped them, and quickly returned to the little girl: "Here are a few pieces of peach blossom cake and hibiscus cake, you can take them and eat them on the way back." ”
"No, sister, I can't accept it." The little girl blushed and excused herself.
The things in the Half Lotus Pavilion, I heard that they are so expensive that they are scary to death, she is here to express her gratitude today, this is rude enough to not bring a gift in itself, how can she bring things away.
"Why can't you take it, it's not a valuable thing, just a few pastries, take it." Li Yan couldn't say anything and stuffed the handkerchief into her arms.
"Sister Yan, I'm ......"
"Don't say anything, my sister fell in love with you, I liked you at first sight, the peach blossom cake and hibiscus cake here taste very good, the little girls who come to our store like to eat it, I guess you will like it too."
Seeing that she was sincere when she said this, the little girl no longer shirked, blushed and bowed her head to thank her: "Thank you, Sister Yan, after I finish eating the pastry, I will help you wash the veil and send it."
Li Yan wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that the little girl would misunderstand, so she had to nod: "Okay, you can send it whenever you want, my sister is not in a hurry." “
"Okay, sister, I'll go back first." The little girl raised her hand to say goodbye.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Li Yan smiled and admonished.
"Hmm." The little girl answered, turned and left.
As soon as this person left, Bai Wei and the others downstairs immediately surrounded Li Yan and gossiped: "Sister Yan, who is that little girl, you look quite familiar, why do people still invite you to dinner?" ”
It happened that the store was not busy, so Li Yan told the truth: "I met on the street a few days ago, Nianfu originally had a terrible scar on the left side of her face, when I met her, she was hiding in the alley not far from Pujitang and crying, I wanted to come forward to ask, who knew that she ran away with tears on her face, and saw that her face was wrong, so I secretly followed, who knew that this followed to the suburbs, and she actually wanted to jump into the river." “
"Jump into the river!" There was a lot of noise around.
"Hmm." Li Yan nodded: "I rescued her and asked her for the reason, it turned out that she had an accident a month ago and injured her face, and because of the poverty of her family, there was no money for medical treatment, which left a dark scar on the injury, the little girl was already sad and sad. “
"Hey, it's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight." Bai Wei sighed.
"It's not, one after another has encountered accidents, let alone her, it's hard for any adult to bear." Lilac is full of sympathy.
At this time, I saw the spirit fairy come over and say: "This little girl has hurt her face, you can go to Puji Hall, our family's potion is not very spiritual." ”
"Looking at the little girl's dress, it should be that the family has no money." Du Ruo thought.
"If you don't have money, there's nothing to do, isn't Pujitang the first day of every month, the price of medicine is discounted, and the top ten are free, as long as the little girl gets up early on the first day of the new year to line up, can't she get the medicine for free."
"That's right, then why can't she think about it, doesn't she know that our Pujitang has this policy of benefiting the people." Bai Wei asked.
Li Yan shook her head: "I know, but I know it late, when she heard someone talk about it, it was past the first day of junior high school." ”
"Then you can wait until next month." Lilac said.
"Yes, you can wait for next month, but her mother was seriously ill in bed because of this incident, she was in a hurry, so she wanted to go to Pujitang to see if she could go back with some medicine on credit, but before she went to Pujitang, she was cowardly again, thinking about it left and right, impulsively, sad and indignant, and wanted to die."
"Hey, what a stupid girl, fortunately, sister, you followed in time, otherwise this girl would have really found a short time."
"But no, does the little girl still have relatives at home, or is the mother and daughter dependent on each other?"
"No, there's an older brother."
"Ah, there is a brother, so how did she run out alone, I almost found a short time."
"His brother took care of his mother at home, and he didn't notice that she ran away for a while, and when he found out, he hurriedly found it, and soon after I rescued the little girl, her brother came to find it, and I couldn't help but think of my former self, so I evened half a bottle of my cleansing liquid to her, and took them to Pujitang to buy some potions for her mother."
"My sister did the right thing, the little girl is also a grateful person, no, the poor family still wants to cook a meal to thank you" Lilac praised on the side.
Li Yan nodded: "The county lord often says, give people roses, there is a lingering fragrance in your hands, this time I really experienced it, and a few of us, if it wasn't for the county lord to take it in, I'm afraid the situation is not as good as Nianfu at this moment, so I have always remembered the words of the county lord, and when I have the ability, I must try my best to help others." ”
"Uh-huh.... We've always remembered that. The girls looked at each other and smiled. I want to talk about "Nongmen Fu Doctor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
