Chapter 54: Le Yao
An Xin looked at the thin little girl in front of her, as if she saw the general's father, who had returned from victory after two years of expedition many years ago, with such a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles and hair like a pile of withered yellow straw.
This little girl stretched out a thin little hand timidly grabbed the corner of the general's clothes, she opened a pair of bulging eyes, curiously looking at the richly dressed, beautiful female doll that seemed to come out of the New Year's painting, and An Xin also looked at her curiously. At that time, An Xin was only eight years old, while Le Yao was nine years old.
It is said that Le Yao's father was the general's personal soldier, and he died after blocking an arrow for the general on the battlefield, and he begged the general to take care of his only daughter before he died. Le Yao is indeed very pitiful, her mother has died early, and her father chose to be a soldier in order to make ends meet, leaving her and her elderly grandparents at home.
When the general found Le Yao, her grandparents had long since died, leaving her alone to guard the tattered thatched house, with only a cold stove, an empty rice bowl, a few tattered cotton wool, a few rotten chairs, and nothing else.
Le Yao hadn't eaten for three days at that time, her stomach was filled with cold water, and she was lying on the bed dying. And the general's fall from the sky brought her from hell to heaven at once, and she was taken to the general's mansion to become the personal maid of the eldest lady An Xin, and she no longer had to worry about starving to death.
And An Xin knew that after Le Yao's father saved her father, her heart was also full of gratitude, she didn't dare to imagine what she and her younger brother would do if her father had something to do with her, so she was very close to Le Yao, and did not treat her as an ordinary maid, she could be said to be half friend and half servant.
And Le Yao is also an idiot, she has never been clothed and is about to starve to death without food to brocade clothes and jade food, high bed and soft pillows, plus An Xin is quite kind to her, and has never regarded her as a subordinate. So her heart is also full of gratitude to the An family, and since then there is only An Xin in her eyes, and An Xin's words are holy decrees to her. The two can be said to have grown up together with each other and intimately.
An Xin tried to keep her in the An family the day before she got married, and didn't want to bring her into the royal family to be restrained, but Le Yao refused to live or die, and in desperation, An Xin had to take her to marry together. Sure enough, after marrying into the Tuoba family, Le Yao became her biggest helper, and An Xin couldn't tell if she could survive in the Tuoba family without Le Yao. So in the last life, in addition to her father and younger brother, Le Yao was her closest person.
Seeing this thin little girl today, her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Le Yao, who entered An's house for the first time, An Xin involuntarily walked forward and called softly: "Le Yao, are you Le Yao?" ”
The little girl tilted her head and looked at An Xin and said, "I'm Le Yao, sister, how do you know my name?" Oh, I see, the third and fourth uncles must have told you, right? ”
An Xin squatted down in front of Le Yao with tears in her eyes, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it was your uncles who told me." ”
Le Yao wiped away her tears a little strangely and said, "But why are you crying?" ”
An Xin didn't move, let her cold hand caress her face and said, "That's because I feel very happy to see you." ”
Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other a little confused, they remembered very clearly, and they didn't mention the name of the little girl in front of An Xin again, how did she know? Feng Er knew at a glance that it was Zhang San and Li Si who had mentioned Le Yao's situation to An Xin, seeing the scene where she cried when she saw Le Yao, Feng Er thought that An Xin was crying because of poor Le Yao's current condition, she was a little dissatisfied, so she glared at Li Si fiercely, in her opinion, Zhang San was inconvenient to speak, and this long-tongued person must be Li Si.
Feng Er has been very strong all her life, and what she dislikes the most is the sympathy of others. So when she had no way out, she and her husband would rather choose to fight on the black market than ask for help from their teacher. It was when her husband finally died tragically in the ring, her and her daughter's lives were lost, and she gritted her teeth and refused to ask for help. In the end, it was Zhang San and Li Si who came over to know her recent situation, so that she accepted the monetary gift from the two brothers, which alleviated her embarrassment.
Li Si knew that she had misunderstood, so he quickly pulled her aside and whispered in her ear: "Senior sister, don't get angry first, let me tell you, this Miss An may be the only person in this world who can save Le Yao." ”
Feng Er looked at An Xin a few times in surprise, in her eyes, this was just a very ordinary rich lady, although she was very beautiful, but she really couldn't see that this rich lady had any special skills that could make Li Si so full of confidence. But she knew that her two juniors and disciples were very stable people, and they would never be untargeted in such a big matter, and they must have a great deal of confidence to say so.
Her already gray and desperate heart suddenly became hot, you must know that since her husband died, her daughter Le Yao is her only motivation for survival, but recently Le Yao's illness has become more and more frequent, and even the fifty-year-old ginseng can't let her relieve much. Feng Er was already desperate, she had even thought that if her daughter couldn't survive, she would go with her daughter, and then the family of three would go underground and reunite. And today, Li Si's words rekindled hope in her heart.
An Xin didn't know Feng Er's complicated mental journey at this time, she just looked at the thin girl in front of her with pity, touched her thin cold hand and choked and said, "Le Yao, tell your sister if you feel uncomfortable, and my sister can treat you." ”
For Le Yao now, An Xin is actually a stranger, but I don't know why she just has an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust, she leaned on An Xin's side and whispered: "Sister, in fact, I feel chills all over my body every night, and this year I feel even more cold and even my heart hurts, it really hurts, it hurts, and I have been dizzy a few times, but I don't dare to tell my mother, I'm afraid she will be worried." ”
Looking at this girl who was as sensible as in her previous life, An Xin said heartbrokenly: "My sister will definitely cure you and won't let you hurt anymore." She said silently in her heart: In your last life, you have always regarded yourself as my sister and have been taking care of me, so let me be your sister in this life, and let me take care of you in this life.
Le Yao's eyes lit up when she heard her words, but then it dimmed, and she said disheartenedly: "Sister doesn't need to comfort me, I know that my illness can't be cured." ”
An Xin smiled slightly, and said arrogantly: "If others can't be cured, but I'm not someone else, I say that if it can be cured, it will definitely be cured, you just need to believe me." ”
Hearing this, Le Yao nodded obediently: "Well, I believe in my sister." ”
