Chapter 7: Family
Chapter VII Family
Without waiting for Li Hong to finish speaking, Duan Yun interrupted.
"This ......"
Li Hong's face was stunned, and he was speechless, and the faces of the other two women also showed sadness, bowing their heads and being speechless.
"Tell me, how much savings do we have left?"
"Speak quickly!"
......
"Have you spent it all... Are all your savings gone......"
After asking a few times, seeing that no one spoke, Duan Yun seemed to understand something, and his face was like ashes. After a long time, he couldn't help but move his gaze to Xin'er, the thin and small hunchbacked girl who had been standing behind Li Hong, with guilt in her eyes.
Xin'er's full name is Li Xin'er, not Duan Yun's biological sister, she is the child of Li Hong's best sister Li Fengjie, Li Fengjie is a dusty woman, five years ago, Li Fengjie was seriously ill, and entrusted Li Xin'er to Li Hong when she was dying, Li Hong also responded, and in the past five years, Li Xin'er has been regarded as her own.
Li Xin'er is only one year younger than Duan Yun, she is thirteen years old this year, she was born frail and sickly, and her appearance that should be delicate and lovely is completely covered by the sickly appearance of thin muscles and sallow complexion, but those big eyes are full of vicissitudes of suffering.
Li Xin'er's most heart-wrenching thing is the big bulge on her back. A cardamom girl who is only thirteen years old turned out to be a hunchback, and she was born of a dusty woman, so she became the laughing stock of the people around her, suffering from cold eyes and discrimination, which made her already introverted personality even more timid and cowardly, and only when she was with Duan Yun's family, she would behave naturally.
Although Li Xin'er is ugly and disabled, Duan Yun's family does not discriminate against her in the slightest, Li Hong really treats her as her own, and Duan Fei'er and Duan Yun also treat her as her own sister.
By chance, Duan Yun's family learned that Li Xin'er's illness was not incurable, and in the capital of the kingdom where they were located, there were several soul master families who were proficient in medical skills, and they not only had the ability to cure Li Xin'er's illness, but also had the certainty of curing her hunchback.
When they learned the news, the family was overjoyed, but when they heard about the high cost of medical treatment, their mood quickly fell to the bottom. The high consultation fee of more than 200 gold is simply unbearable for their family.
Since then, the family has worked hard for this high consultation fee, striving to one day be able to scrape together enough money to treat Li Xin'er.
Over the years, the family has cut back on food and clothing, but they have also saved more than 70 gold, which makes their family see hope, as long as they persevere, they will be able to make up enough for the consultation one day.
But he didn't expect that Duan Yun's illness this time would actually spend all the savings that their family had worked hard to save for many years, which made Duan Yun, who was already heavy on his heart, accept it for a while.
"How can you do this, how can you treat Sister Xin'er when the money is gone!"
"I'm not sick at all! Even if I'm sick, I can't delay Sister Xin'er for me!"
......
Duan Yun's voice was a little loud, this was a rare performance for him, and in the face of reality, he was really difficult to accept.
His family background is not good, in order to afford his high tuition fees in the Wang family every year and save Li Xin'er's medical fees, his mother can only rely on that kind of unsightly business to support the family, but he never expected that so many years of hard work were completely wasted by his inexplicable illness.
Duan Yun's emotions were very excited, tears were already flowing from the corners of his eyes, before, he had always treated his mother and sister respectfully, he had never said a word out loud, he also treated his sister with meticulous love, and he had never blamed her, but today, his voice was really a little high.
No one blames Duan Yun for his gaffe today, because they know that Duan Yun's sense of responsibility to his family and his love for his family have made him completely dilute himself, for him, his own interests are insignificant at all, as long as his family can live happily, he can even happily give his life.
When Duan Yun's mood calmed down a little, Li Xin'er, who had been standing at the end, took a step forward at this time.
"Brother, don't worry, cough cough..."
After Li Xin'er coughed violently a few times, she continued to say in a voice like a mosquito: "Xin'er's illness is not in a hurry, you can make more money when the money is spent, if Brother Yun can't wake up from now on, even if Xin'er's illness is cured, Xin'er will not be happy." ”
"Sister Xin'er is right. ”
Duan Fei'er interjected at this time: "The money can be earned again after it is spent, and the junior brother will be able to become a formal disciple of Master Wang in three years, as long as he becomes a real beast trainer, what is the diagnosis fee of the two hundred branded gold." ”
"Yes..."A rare smile also appeared on Li Hong's face: "As long as we survive these three years, our family's hard life will be about to come to an end." ”
Looking at the expectant eyes of the third girl looking at him, Duan Yun suddenly felt that the weakness in his body had completely disappeared, his face was resolute, and his back was straight.
He knew very well that now he was the only hope for the family, and the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy, and at this moment, all kinds of grievances and sufferings in the Wang family became worthless, and he repeatedly told himself in his heart: "I must succeed! I must succeed......
In the next few days, Duan Yun's body recovered quickly, and what made Duan Yun's family even more relieved was that Dr. Huang also diagnosed Duan Yun's hysteria and had been completely cured.
It's just that Duan Yun was skeptical about Doctor Huang's diagnosis, but he clearly remembered that the reason why he was in a coma was not because he had any hysteria, but because of the blow of the man in black.
Duan Yun didn't mention the events of that night to anyone, although he was not very old, the hardships and tempering made his mind far exceed his age.
Judging from the fact that the men in black wanted to kill him, what he saw that night was anything but unusual, and it was likely that he would be killed if he told it.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand: according to common sense, with the strength of those black-clothed people, since he wanted to extinguish his mouth, it was impossible for him to survive; moreover, even if the other party did not estimate his vitality accurately and used too little force, he was in the river at the time, and even if he didn't die with that blow, he would inevitably be drowned.
But he learned from his relatives that when he was found, he was not in the river, but on a large bluestone by the river, and his face was quiet when he was found, but he was unconscious, and there was no external injury on his body. All of this made him even more puzzled.
In the end, with his current level of cognition, he finally came up with three possible scenarios.
The first case: he was a genius, even if he had never practiced any kind of exercises, even if he was only a fourteen-year-old boy, but he was too genius to resist the master's blow and heal the wounds on his body in one night.
The second situation is: the man in black who attacked him was a good person, and his move was not to kill himself, but a healing soul martial art, and he also rescued himself to the shore after treating himself.
And the last situation is: I met a master, and the peerless master saved his life in danger, and the peerless master was still a miracle doctor, and after saving himself ashore, he also healed his injuries.
After a calm analysis, he has basically ruled out the first two possibilities, after all, the probability is too small, and the probability is almost equal to zero, so he is more and more sure of the third possibility.
In his heart, he silently thanked the kind-hearted man who saved him from danger countless times, and if he could see each other one day, even if he was a cow and a horse, he would repay the kindness of others.
Time flies, and before I know it, a month has passed quickly, and in the evening, after Duan Yun's family has dinner,
Chat around the table.
During the casual conversation, Duan Yun quickly turned the topic to the one he had asked many times: "Mother, who is my father and where has he gone?"
This topic is also what my sister Duan Fei'er is extremely concerned about: "Yes, mother, who is our father, why doesn't he care about us." ”
Hearing that the children brought the topic to this issue again, Li Hong's brows tightened, and he said a little angrily: "How many times have I told you, he is dead." ”
"How did you die?" Duan Yun asked.
"Sick to death!" Li Hong turned his head and said.
"What disease?"
"You kid don't bother, how many times have I told you, it's the plague. Duan Yun's questioning finally made Li Hong lose patience: "You are not allowed to ask anything about your father in the future." ”
"You've been lying, haven't you?" Duan Yun asked with a firm look in his eyes, speaking in a heavy tone, not at all like a fourteen-year-old boy: "He should still be alive, right?"
"You... How do you know?" Li Hong was also stunned by Duan Yun's sudden question, and unconsciously told the truth.
As soon as she said this, she immediately realized that she said something she shouldn't have said, so she immediately repented: "No, no, no, you... Your father is long dead, and I lied to you. But her somewhat slurred words and panicked demeanor felt even more black.
Hearing this, even her daughter Duan Fei'er, who has always been a little sluggish, could see that her mother was indeed lying, so she grabbed her mother's arm and asked hard, "Mother, is my father really alive? Where is he?"
Although Duan Fei'er was two years older than Duan Yun, she was too young at that time, and in her childhood memories, there was only a vague shadow of a man, and she didn't know anything about what her father looked like, whether he was alive or dead, just like Duan Yun.
"No, your father is dead, and I really didn't lie to you. ”
Seeing that his mother was still hard-mouthed, Duan Yun couldn't help but smile coldly, after so many years of painful tempering of the Wang family, his ability to observe words and emotions was no longer comparable to that of ordinary teenagers, plus he was born intelligent, and his mind was even more mature than ordinary adults now.
"Mother, you don't have to lie to us anymore, since I say so, there is ample evidence. Duan Yun said indifferently, after years of preparation, he would completely expose his mother's lies today.
