Chapter 14
"Why did Big Brother think of coming to sit with me today?" Guiguzi poured tea for Xiaohan's uncle.
"I don't have anything big going there, I want to see how you're doing?" Uncle took a sip of tea.
"What can I do, read books, practice martial arts, meditate, and learn from those two children, every day is almost the same. Presumably my eldest brother didn't come here to see me. ”
"That's right," Uncle Guiguzi said, "I'm here to see my niece, but how do I see her as lively as before, with a hint of worry on her face, what's the matter?" ”
"She's also grown up, and she will have some things on her mind." Guiguzi stroked his beard.
"Didn't you ask her?" Uncle raised his eyes and stared at Guiguzi.
"A girl's thoughts, if you ask her or not, you don't ask it, it's almost clear." Guiguzi picked up the teacup and looked at the tea leaves floating in it and said leisurely.
Uncle's expression was completely different, he put down the teacup in his hand, frowned, and said with a worried face, "Xiao Han is different from ordinary girls," he lowered his voice and continued, "She has a secret hidden in her, when are you going to sue her?" ”
"I said that secret would make it difficult for her to accept, and I wasn't going to tell her personally." Guiguzi blew the tea leaves in the teacup to the side, "When the time comes, she will know." ”
Uncle looked at Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, who were practicing swords in the martial arts arena: "I hope that when the time comes, they can help Xiao Han." ”
"The two of them will be at the mercy of the lives of the people in the world in the future, Xiao Han is just one of the many living beings, whether it is life or death, how can they have time to take care of it, the only one who can really help Xiao Han is herself."
"That's why you gave up your promise to let Xiao Han learn martial arts?"
"No matter what, Xiao Han must become a person who is not at the mercy of the troubled times."
The two of them didn't speak, drinking tea, and looked at Xiao Han, who was standing aside in the martial arts arena and watching Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's martial arts competition.
"This kid is very smart, I'm very relieved, all my dad can do is do his best to protect her," Guiguzi looked at Xiao Han in the distance intently, "until the end." ”
In a blink of an eye, it was early summer, and on this day, Guiguzi gave them a holiday, and the three of them decided to go to the market outside to see some lively, buy some good-looking, and find something fun. They wandered from morning to sunset, and they learned a lot and were ready to return the way they came.
"Divine doctor, please, please," a woman's voice came into their ears, "My daughter has not eaten for three days, has a fever all over, and vomits terribly. She was now blue and convulsed, and she was dying. I beg you, I have given you all my belongings, please go and see it! ”
"What's that?" Gai Nie asked Xiao Han.
"Probably typhoid fever in the stomach." Xiao Han replied.
"Does that disease kill people?" Wei Zhuang asked.
"If it is treated in time, there is no problem, but with such strict symptoms, I am afraid that there are other root causes of the disease."
The three of them jumped off their horses and looked towards the door of the magnificent pharmacy full of people, only to see a ragged lady lying on the steps of the pharmacy, dragging the legs of a gorgeously dressed Langzhong.
"Your little money can also get me to go to the doctor? Do you know who I treat? Lang Zhong said to her proudly, "I am treating the prince and general!" How much is someone's life worth? What about your daughter's? ”
"Her daughters are dying, so you can show them kindness!" Someone shouted in the crowd around them.
"I'm going to give her daughter a kind heart, if a general comes to me to see a doctor, delays the family, and the people are angry, who can send kindness to save my family?"
No one spoke in the crowd around them.
"O Divine Doctor! Please! The eldest lady is still begging, "As long as you can cure my daughter's illness, I will make you a cow and a horse in the future, please!" She shook Lang Zhong's legs.
"Get out!" Lang Zhong kicked the eldest lady down, and the eldest mother's head hit the steps, and she immediately bled out.
Wei Zhuang stretched out his hand to stop Gai Nie, who was beside him and wanted to make a move: "Senior brother, because of a small loss, you can't do it." Gai Nie endured and took a few steps back.
The eldest lady got up from the ground and climbed up the steps and wanted to hug Lang Zhong's legs, but was grabbed by the arms of the two big men next to her from the ground.
"Throw me far away!"
The two big men threw off their arms and were about to throw people, Gai Nie couldn't help it, and rushed out, even Wei Zhuang, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but step forward and make a move, one of them stretched out a hand and grabbed the arm that the big man threw away, the big man tried hard to shake it, but he couldn't move, and he couldn't move after a long time, and the sweat flowed down his face. Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were both very relaxed, the corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth rose, and Gai Nie looked at Lang Zhong very coldly.
"Who dares to touch my people?" Lang Zhong turned his head and asked.
"This Langzhong, since he doesn't want to save people, why hurt people? This eldest lady's daughter is terminally ill, and even she herself has been injured, so why should you embarrass her, give her a way out. Xiao Han stepped forward and said politely.
"Whether I want to give her a life or not is my business, what is your business?"
Xiao Han smiled and walked to Lang Zhong's side, and whispered: "It's none of our business, but if you think about it, there are many people here, and if you hurt people again, they spread it, and some people changed it a little bit to spread the rumors, and spread the bad words to the ears of the princes and generals, and if they don't come to you to see a doctor in the future, then it's not good, right?" ”
Lang Zhong squinted at Xiao Han for a moment, and then turned his back: "Let go of her!" ”
After hearing this, the big man let go of the eldest mother, and Gai Nie and they also let go of the big men, and the big men rubbed their arms with their hands and left.
"Let's go! Let's disperse! The guy at the pharmacy shouted, and the crowd dispersed.
The eldest lady squatted on the ground alone, hugged her legs with her thin arms, and cried there.
"Auntie, I will see a doctor, take me to your house quickly!" Xiao Han helped the eldest lady to get on the horse, and the three of them ran towards the eldest mother's house.
They came to the suburbs, the eldest mother's thatched house was in tatters, and several places were about to collapse, and two little boys ran out of the courtyard, shouting: "Mother, mother, sister vomited blood!" ”
Xiao Han hurriedly ran into the house, there was a little girl about seven or eight years old lying on the bed, her clothes were dirty, her face was purple, and her convulsions were very strong, Xiao Han took out a little herb from the purse she was carrying, and gave it to the girl, she immediately stopped convulsing, but her face was still not good.
"How?" Gai Nie entered the house and walked to Xiao Han's side and said.
"She is very sick, she should have had a few serious illnesses before, I didn't bring enough medicinal materials to cure her disease now, but we can get it from home to boil medicine for her, this girl's disease is difficult to get rid of, after this disease is cured, she still needs to take care of it for a while."
"Take her away!" The lady standing at the door of the house opened her mouth.
"I adopted this child, eight years ago a woman abandoned her at my door, I saw her pitiful, I took her as a daughter, she is very well-behaved, but since she was a child, she has been weak and sickly, I have gone bankrupt in order to treat her. I still have those two sons, and they are still waiting for me to give them food. ”
Wei Zhuang handed the two little boys some dry food outside, and they ate deliciously.
Xiao Han looked at the eldest lady with a sad face.
The eldest lady picked up the girl and said in tears: "Frost! You are such a good child, it's a pity that your mother can't raise you, you follow your brothers and sisters well, and repay them well in the future, your mother didn't do a good job of this mother, and she didn't have the face to return you. ”
She handed the girl to Xiao Han and Gai Nie: "You must cure his illness and end my heart, I ask you." With that, he knelt on the ground.
"Auntie, don't be like this," Xiao Han helped Auntie up, "I will cure her." You can rest assured that you will do your best to take care of her. ”
Xiao Han and the three of them gave the rest of the silver to the eldest mother, and the eldest mother took it in tears.
"This place can no longer be lived, you take your two sons to find a better place to live, let them study hard, and when the two sons grow up, you just wait to enjoy Qingfu!" Xiao Han comforted the eldest mother.
The eldest lady sent the three of them out of the courtyard and knelt to watch them leave.
They slowly walked away, Xiao Han suddenly remembered something, she asked the eldest mother loudly, "What is the name of this child?" ”
From afar, the eldest lady's response: "Ning Shuang." ”
