The little boy spent two days and two nights in the bumpy carriage. At noon on the third day, when the boy was so hungry that he lifted a corner of the cloth, the blinding sunlight made the boy look at a crop in the distance, and he got out of the carriage and rolled to the ground.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, I don't know what the little boy was thinking. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared from his field of vision that he withdrew the last strength he had left, and staggered in the direction of the crops.

The noon sun shone on the boy's thin body, and the boy was already sweating like rain, his lips were terribly white, and he staggered along, and accidentally tripped over the stone under his feet, fell to the ground and fainted.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and a group of people came from a distance. I saw them carrying a hoe on their shoulders and a dustpan in their hands, talking and laughing. When he walked not far away and saw the little boy on the ground, he ran over and gathered around, squatting down and looking at the little boy on the ground.

"The boy looked to be only five or six years old, and he didn't know where he had fled the wilderness, and he fainted from hunger here. ”

"Yes, you poor boy......"

"Li Laosi, your lady has not moved her stomach for four or five years, or take this child back. When you're old, I can give you a ...... for the elderly."

"Yes, you see, God sees that you don't have a child in your family, and a son fell from the sky. ”

A few others chimed in.

"Look at how handsome this kid is..."

“......”

There was a lot of discussion.

At this time, a simple middle-aged man pushed aside the crowd and looked at the little boy lying on the ground, with a hint of love in his eyes, like a wanderer whose father had just seen him and had not returned home for a long time.

"Don't talk nonsense, he's going to starve to death if he doesn't eat something, so I'll take him home and feed him something. With that, he picked up the little boy and walked in the direction of his house, and the crowd in the distance burst into laughter.

They are all from Ningxi County, and they have grown up in a Zhuangzi since childhood, and there are only a dozen families in the Zhuangzi. But the people in the village are very simple and kind, and they don't have much contact with people outside, and the relationship between neighbors is also very harmonious. Li Laosi, who carried the little boy on his back just now, is one of them. Li Laosi is honest and honest, his parents have long since died, and he has not married a daughter-in-law until he is twenty-seven or eighteen.

Until one winter, a group of refugees fled to their village, and Li Laosi fed the whole family without hunger, so he distributed all the food stored in the family to this group of people. There was a woman in this group of refugees, and when she saw that Li Laosi was honest and honest, and she was helpless, she married Li Laosi as his wife.

The local Zhuangzi said that Li Laosi was stupid and had the blessing of marrying such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and whenever this happened, Li Laosi would always touch his head and smirk.

Li Laosi carried the little boy back home.

"Why did you come back again, did you leave something behind? The wife, who was weaving at home, heard the door open and said.

"I saw this little kid fainting on the side of the road, thinking that he was fainting from hunger, and wanted to bring it back and give him something to stutter. Li Laosi touched his head and said.

At this time, the wife who was weaving turned her head and saw the little boy on Li Laosi's back, so she got up and walked to her husband, pointed her husband's head with her finger, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"You, you, you, you have the best heart. ”

Li Laosi smirked twice and scratched his head.

"Put the baby on the bed. ”

Li Laosi reacted and walked to the bed, only to see that the woman carefully supported the little boy and did not dislike the little boy's dirty mess on the bed.

"You go get busy, I'll take care of the child, and I'll be back early today." The woman said.

Li Laosi went out again.

The woman made a bowl of porridge over the fire, walked to the bed with the porridge, sat at the head of the bed and woke up the little boy.

"The child is hungry, drink some porridge. ”

The little boy opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but like the young lady he had seen in the imperial capital.

"Where is this?" the little boy asked.

"This is Ningxi County, on the Zhuangzi of Ningxi Hou. The woman replied.

The little boy shook her head, and the woman looked at the little boy with a pang of distress, and she thought of herself.

She was originally a lady among the wealthy merchants, and she was fine in fine clothes and food since she was a child, and she was all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Until six years ago, the local princes rebelled and plundered the military resources that had been replenished, and their family was not spared. From then on, he wandered around with his family, and then became separated from his family in a war, and later followed a group of refugees to this place and met Li Laosi.

This is five years in a blink of an eye, and in these five years, weaving and cooking every day, and waiting for her husband to eat in the evening after returning from work has become her happiest time every day. But the only thing that saddened her was that she hadn't had a child in the past five years. Li Laosi also accompanied her to see Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong said that she used to freeze her body and it was difficult to conceive a child, and every time she thought of this, she felt sorry for her husband who loved her.

The only consolation is that her husband will always say to her.

"It's my blessing that you can marry me, and I can have you. ”

But she knew in her heart that her husband still wanted to have a child in his heart, after all, there are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen.

The mind pulled back.

"Drink the porridge quickly, it's not good for your body if it's cold. ”

The boy was so hungry that he took the bowl in the woman's hand and drank it, for the boy had never drunk such a delicious thing since he was a child, and when he had drunk half of it, he remembered his grandmother.

The woman asked, seeing that the boy was in a daze halfway through drinking.

"What's wrong, is the porridge unappetizing?"

"I miss my grandmother. ”

The woman said with affection when she saw the boy's sad expression.

"If you don't dislike you, make this your home, and I am your mother. ”

Hearing the word mother, the boy's tears could not help but fall, and the woman sighed.

"The kids are going to bed, and they're definitely tired these days. ”

The boy lay down again and fell asleep.

In the evening, Li Laosi returned from work, much earlier than usual.

The woman pulled Li Laosi to the door and said.

"I saw that this kid was really a little cute, and I couldn't help but think of my old self. You know my body, so let's keep this child. Although the family is not very wealthy, they can still get by. ”

"Listen to your daughter-in-law. Li Laosi said with a stupid smile.

"You, you, I don't know what to say about you, sooner or later someone will be sold and you will still help you count the money. The woman looked at her husband with a hint of warmth on her face and said with a smile.

After speaking, he pulled Li Laosi's ears and walked into the house.

The two walked into the house, and at this time, three dishes and one soup were already placed on the table, and the woman said to Li Laosi.

"Go ahead, the child screams, the child hasn't seen you yet, don't scare the child by being quiet. ”

"I've seen it, didn't I carry him all the way. ”

The woman rolled her eyes at him.

"After eating, you go and clean up the hut where the house is full of miscellaneous items and put the children to sleep. ”

"Go for it......"

"Kid...... Child...... Time to eat. ”

The little boy was woken up by Li Laosi.

"You don't know me anymore, I carried you back. Li Laosi looked at the little boy's puzzled eyes and said.

After saying this, I heard the woman's laughter...... Immediately slapped his forehead and said.

"Uh...... Forget you were still dizzy at the time. ”

At this time, the woman next to her laughed louder, Li Laosi also touched his head and smirked, and a rare smile appeared on the little boy's face.

After eating, Li Laosi went to the hut to clean up, and the woman was also washing the dishes and chopsticks.

The little boy watched all this silently, and did not speak.

At night, the little boy went to the bed that Li Laosi had cleaned up, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, because he felt so comfortable in bed for the first time.

The little boy settled down here, and went to work on the ground with Li Laosi, helping the woman to make a fire and cook. The people on the Zhuangzi praised him for his ability, saying that Li Laosi picked up a good son, and often Li Laosi would come forward to reason with others when he heard these words, and then he was said by a group of people with a red face, and then the little boy would pull Li Laosi home.

The woman and Li Laosi never asked the little boy about the past, and only regarded the little boy as their own child.

One night half a month later, the woman walked on the bed and said to Li Laosi.

"This kid is clever and clever, and we can't delay him. The family also has a little savings, tomorrow you go to the town to inquire, and send Xiaofeng to study in the academy, otherwise you will know how to giggle all day long like you. ”

"......" Li Laosi was speechless for a moment.

Within a few days, the little boy went to the academy to study, and the gentlemen in the academy praised the boy for his cleverness. Something will be taught as soon as it is taught, and it will not be forgotten. Immediately, Li Laosi and the woman were so happy that they killed a chicken that night, and the smile on the little boy's face gradually increased. In this way, the small family repeats the days day after day.

Until one day a year later, the woman became pregnant.
