There are two large villages in the township that open a market at a fixed time period every week, among which the Laoqinghe Village where the township government is located has a large scale, from livestock to daily food.

Li Qinglan and Qingyang had just entered Laoqinghe Village, and they were stopped before they reached the two streets of the market.

Today, there happened to be an old man in Qinghe Village who died in his nineties to hold a funeral banquet, and the old man asked Li Qinglan more than ten years ago to calculate the coffin on an auspicious day, and they all said that the elderly person could make a coffin in advance and put it at home to cure illness and live a long life, so the old man's family felt that the old man could live to more than 90 years and also had the credit of the coffin, so Li Qinglan, who had counted the auspicious day, naturally had to take a credit.

It doesn't matter if you don't run into it, since you do, then you have to invite Li Qinglan to drink the funeral wine.

Li Qinglan refused, but promised to go in a while.

After separating from the main family of the funeral, Li Qinglan first went to buy a piece of pork on credit with a pork dealer who was familiar with her, and then accompanied Qingyang to buy wool, and the two went to drink the funeral wine together.

Originally, Li Qinglan didn't plan to buy anything, so she didn't bring any money when she went out, but when she went to drink the funeral wine, she had to give a gift, and it was the same if she didn't have money to take things.

When keeping the account of the ceremony, Qingyang saw that there were still people with the old hen salted duck eggs, and there were all kinds of everything.

Because of this funeral and funeral wine, Qingyang and the others returned to the village a little late, and they couldn't see anyone on the road.

The weather was not very good, the wind was still strong, and Qingyang felt cold and shrank his neck when he walked.

Li Qinglan took off her scarf and handed it to Qingyang: "Wrap it up." ”

Qingyang was just about to reach out to take it, when he suddenly heard a strange sound of rustling in the dead grass beside the road.

"Aunt, did you hear that?" Qingyang asked in a low voice.

Of course Li Qinglan heard it, but she didn't take it seriously.

"Maybe it's a pheasant, there's nothing to make a fuss about."

The two of them took a few more steps forward, and Qingyang heard a low snort that was neither light nor heavy, and seemed to be very painful.

It's people!

Qingyang and Li Qinglan glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, but they ran in the direction where the voice came from very tacitly.

In the withered barnyard grass lay a thinly dressed boy with a bloody face and wounds.

I don't know how long he has been lying here, his consciousness is no longer clear, and Li Qinglan didn't respond to his questions.

Li Qinglan took off her cotton clothes and put them on the boy, turned her head to Qingyang and said, "You look at him, I'll call someone." ”

The boy was very cold, and even though he was covered with Li Qinglan's cotton clothes, he was shivering.

Qingyang was afraid that he would not be able to survive Li Qinglan's rescue soldiers, so he hugged him without hesitation and tried to give him warmth.

This boy is very thin, but he is not short, and he looks even bigger than Qingyang.

It seems that fate has already arranged it, not sooner or later, she and Li Qinglan passed by here and heard the sound, found him, and rescued him... A moment early and a moment late are missed.

After a while, Li Qinglan rushed over in a carriage from a villager in Laoqinghe Village and sent people directly to the health center.

Li Qinglan asked around, but no one knew the boy, and if she wanted to contact the child's parents, she could only wait for the child to wake up.

Thankfully, the boy's skin injuries were fine, except for a few frostbite injuries that required extra attention.

The boy woke up at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the first thing he said was to cry out that he was hungry.

The people at the health center gave him half of the steamed buns that were left over from the noon meal, and the steamed buns that he had already gobbled up when he turned around to pour hot water, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

The person who drank the water on his stomach was much more energetic, and he only looked at the eyes of the people and was extremely vigilant, like a sheep that had strayed into the wolves. No, to be precise, it's more like a wolf that hasn't been touched by meat and strayed into the flock...

"What's your name? How old is this year? Which village? What's Mom and Dad's name? Li Qinglan smiled and asked very kindly.

The boy only stared at Li Qinglan and refused to say a word.

Li Qinglan didn't recruit him, so she asked the people from the health center to help ask, but the result was the same, but she didn't speak.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, the health center couldn't wait, and the villagers of Lao Qinghe Village didn't want to keep a boy of unknown origin, so Li Qinglan could only take people away first.

On a cold day, the boy was only wearing a pair of liberation shoes with worn out soles and exposed toes, and it looked cold.

Li Qinglan asked the people at the health center for some rags for the boy to wrap his feet, and he could suffer less sin this way back.

This kid didn't speak, but he understood quite well, what Li Qinglan asked him to do, he did it.

Li Qinglan went to the villager's house to borrow a dirty and torn cotton coat to wear for herself, and took Qingyang and the boy back to Dapanshan Village.

"Aunt, what if I can't find someone from his family?" Qingyang asked Li Qinglan directly in front of the boy.

Li Qinglan glanced at the boy and replied directly: "Then what can I do, give it to the police." Look at the ten big quilts that are not hot, I can still keep him at home. ”

Li Qinglan has something to say.

This time of rebirth, many things are different.

Qingyang clearly remembered that the child adopted by Li Qinglan was much younger than her, and it was obviously not the current one.

Now that Li Qinglan has the intention of keeping this boy, will Li Qinglan see the child in her previous life in the future?

While he was thinking, the boy who had not spoken suddenly spoke...

"Li Qiqiao, my name is Li Qiqiao, get up, the bridge of the bridge, I am ten years old this year, and my parents are dead." The boy whispered.

Li Qinglan pulled the family of a ten-year-old boy surnamed Li in Sili and Eight Townships, and he really didn't have the right number.

"Where is your home? Why did you come here? Li Qinglan asked.

Li Qiqiao looked up at her, lowered his head and replied sullenly: "My mother is long gone, my father is a forest ranger in the Dacang Mountain forest area, and he froze to death when he drank outside during the first snow some time ago. Other relatives don't want me, I don't know how to get here because I don't know how to go. ”

The Dacang Mountain forest area is further north, which is quite far from here. It's colder over there, and staying outside while drunk can really freeze to death.

"I'll find someone to inquire when I go back, if you want to tell a lie, I'll drive you away immediately", Li Qinglan said solemnly: "You must have suffered a lot all the way from Dacang Mountain, look at your injury, take care of it first when you get home." ”

Li Qiqiao nodded, but did not squeak.

Qingyang had been observing Li Qiqiao while they were talking.

The blood on his face had been cleaned up, revealing a white, abnormal face. He was really thin, there was no flesh on his cheeks, his cheekbones were high and bulging, his eye sockets were deep, and his already large eyes appeared larger, which looked a little scary.

She always felt that Li Qiqiao didn't tell the truth, but fortunately, Li Qinglan said that she would find someone to inquire, and if he lied, it would be revealed sooner or later.

After arriving home, Qingyang first helped Li Qinglan cook dinner, and then went back to school after eating.

The next day, the news that Li Qinglan picked up a child on the way to the market spread in the village, some people inquired about the Li family, and some people asked Qingyang about the situation.

Qingyang simply hid in Li Qinglan's house in order to keep his ears quiet, but he never expected that Li Qinglan's house was even more unclean.

Outsiders wouldn't come directly to Li Qinglan to ask questions, but the Li family had to figure things out first.

The seven aunts and eight aunts who were far away, and the brothers and sisters-in-law who were close to each other, and the brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law all came, and the inner room was packed.

Li Qinglan said to Qingyang: "You take the bridge out to play, and come back for dinner." ”

Qingyang understood!

Li Qinglan meant not to come back until she had a meal, it seems that she wants to have a good talk with her family.
