Chapter 18: Admission
"Mother, you eat." The little girl pinched the sugar gourd in her little hand and put it to her mother's mouth.
But who knows, the woman on the bed pushed the sugar gourd away with her dry palm.
His voice trembled and said, "Where did you get the money to buy sugar gourds, did you go to steal things...... Ahem......"
"I bought it for her."
The young man walked into the room and said calmly.
He didn't want to see this little sad and aggrieved anymore.
"Ahem...... cough...... "The woman did not speak immediately when she heard the voice of the comer, but she could not speak.
Lin Youyou was anxious when she saw this, and quickly climbed into bed to stroke her mother's chest.
"Thank you!"
With an answer, the woman stopped coughing.
He sat up and thanked the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Hmm." The young man hummed softly and said nothing, instead observing the environment in the room.
The furnishings in the house can be described as bleak.
A small, shabby wooden table with two broken bowls on it, which should have been used by the mother and son when they were eating.
There was a layer of weeds on the floor, and there were some miscellaneous things that I had picked up from nowhere.
The only good thing is that the wooden bed is also made of weeds.
The woman lay on it, covered with a thin quilt.
Glancing back and forth, I didn't even see a single oil lamp.
"What disease do you have, and why is it so serious?" After looking at the room, the young man asked about the woman's condition.
"The doctor said that when I was born, I fell ill." The woman said slowly.
The so-called root cause of the disease is that there is no nutrition during the period of giving birth to the child, and the body is overworked.
This kind of problem is common in the non-scientific era.
The young man nodded, and then asked, "Listen to Yoyo, was his father killed?" ”
At the sound of the young man's words, the woman's eyes immediately widened, as if full of anger, and her hands were clenched.
After a few breaths, he calmed down again, and his eyes dimmed again.
"It's been a few years since this happened.
At that time, there was an eldest (eldest daughter) in the family, and the family of three could be regarded as able to make ends meet, and there was no big problem.
But a few years ago, after giving birth to Youyou, this body fell into the root of the disease, and it was worse day by day, and he could no longer work, relying on the little money earned by men.
Although it was a bit hard, fortunately, the family was safe.
But who knows! My eldest went out to buy groceries, and on the way back, he was kidnapped by gangsters.
When my man heard that it was the robbers from Humazhai who did it, he went up the mountain in a fit of rage, and he couldn't hold him back.
The next morning, I saw his body dumped outside the city, woo-woo-woo......"
The woman spoke slowly and much.
As he spoke, he wiped his tears, and in the end only a whimper remained.
The little girl clutched the corner of her clothes and silently left tears.
"Did you report to the police?" The young man spoke out of place, and when he asked it, he felt that the question was a little strange.
"Reporter? What is the difference between this group of dog officials and bandits, and how many of the girls who were kidnapped were not related to this group of animals.
Officials and businessmen collude, officials and bandits are in a nest! cough cough cough cough ........."
As she spoke, the woman became angry and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Say no more! You calm down first. ”
Seeing this, the young people did not know what to do.
His medical skills have not yet reached home, and he is not capable of curing diseases and saving people.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the woman's expression was relieved, as if she was much more relaxed.
"I'm fine, these words have been held in my heart for a few years, and I can't find anyone to say them, but it's better to say them now."
The woman's voice was soft, and she stopped talking.
The young man didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent, silent for a while.
"Yoyo, you go out to play first, I'll talk to my uncle alone, good, go quickly."
The woman lay down for a while, regained a little complexion, touched Lin Youyou's little head next to the bed, and said softly.
The young man next to him suddenly felt bad, and the next scene continued to evolve in his mind.
Lin Youyou listened to her mother's words, walked out of the house very quietly, and closed the door with her hand.
There were only two adults left in the house.
The woman lifted the quilt and sat up little by little.
The youth is puzzled, or does not want to believe what is about to happen.
After sitting on the edge of the bed, the woman did not stop.
Continue to put one foot on the ground, hold the side of the bed with both hands, and get out of bed with the other foot.
The young man stood still, watching her quietly.
Just after the frail mother got out of bed.
Without waiting for the young man to react, he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
"Hold the grass!" The young man was taken aback by this kneeling, and estimated that the next direction was no different from what he thought.
Due to the reason of martial arts, the young man's jump is not only the mind, but also the body.
It directly smashed through the tiles on the roof and smashed it down with a crackle.
Fortunately, his eyes are quick and his hands are quick, and after he lands, he carries the four strength of his body.
With a wave of his hands, the falling tiles were all flown to the wall.
The woman on her knees froze, and her desire to ask was interrupted.
Turning her head slightly, she saw the scene of Zhong Yuanxiu just now, which surprised her, who was dying soon.
After resolving the small risks, the young people stepped forward to support them in two steps.
But the woman had no intention of getting up, but sat down on her knees.
"Eldest sister, what are you making a fuss about? Something to say. The young man was so anxious that he even spoke Dongchuan dialect.
The woman didn't understand much, but she could still guess what it meant.
The body is still on its knees.
The next moment, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, and her lips trembled and said:
"Childe, please help me, save my daughter, I won't live long, she is still young, and no one in the world can take care of her."
The young man who was asked was stunned on the spot.
He himself lived with his master and had never settled down to buy a house, so what ability did he have to take in a child.
Seeing that the young man was silent, as if he was in a quandary, the woman grabbed his hand and tightened it again.
The even more pitiful pleaded: "Please, son, take this poor child in!"
It's okay to give her one meal a day, just to survive!
In the future, she will repay your great kindness by using her son as a cow and a horse! ”
The eyes of the young man who was grabbed by the arm were closed.
He shook his head twice, gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Okay! Yoyo, I took it in.
But I'm not a wealthy person, and I only guarantee that if I have a bite to eat in the future, she will be indispensable.
Harm! Just spend it in this life for the next life. ”
"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! When the woman heard this, she fell to the ground and kowtowed.
The young man did not stop her from moving, but accepted the worship with peace of mind.
With this worship, there will be an extra responsibility on his shoulders.
"Get up, I'll take care of you's business."
The young man said this calmly and solemnly.
The woman got up slowly, as if she had exhausted all her strength for what she had just said, and she could not make any louder sounds.
"Troublesome son, can you help me call Yoyo in, I have something to explain to her." The woman's voice was very weak.
If the young man had not listened carefully, he would not have been able to understand what was said.
"Yoyo, come in." The young man's voice was not loud, and he knew that the little guy was leaning against the corner and eavesdropping.
Chirping~
The leaky wooden door was opened again, and the sunlight still followed, reflecting the man's resolute face.
The little girl walked in one small step, one small step at a time, and her face was already in tears.
She heard the conversation between her mother and Uncle Chung.
She knew that her mother would soon separate her.
"Come ......" The woman raised her hand slightly, motioning for Lin Youyou to come over.
The little girl wiped her tears with her yellowed sleeves.
Slowly walked over and leaned into the arms of his mother on the ground.
She didn't know what to say, she was just scared now, afraid of losing her mother.
"Yoyo, you have to listen to Childe's words in the future, and when you grow up, you will be a cow and a horse for Childe, you know?
Mother can't accompany you anymore in the future, you have to be obedient ......"
The woman whispered in Lin Youyou's ear, as if it was the last advice.
The little girl listened to her mother's words quietly, without making a sound, only tears from the corners of her eyes, expressing her sadness.
Without waiting for the mother and daughter to finish speaking, the young man looked at the sky.
At this time, he spoke, and said: "I still have a business to do, under the big willows in the center of the city, I will come to pick up your mother and daughter before dark." ”
The woman was shocked when she heard this, thinking that the man in front of her was going to run away from them, and did not want to take you in again.
"Don't worry, since I promised to come down, I will naturally not break my promise, and you will stay until dark."
In order to reassure the woman, the young man added.
After saying that, he left a piece of broken silver, got up and left.
The mother and daughter looked at the man's departing back and did not hold back, nor did they plead.
Let God decide all this, he has no reason to help them.
…
In the direction of the south of the city towards the center of the city, a young man ran fast, full power.
Now he is very panicked, if this business is not completed, not only can he not support himself, but also he can't afford to support that little bit.
Silver is so important!
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhong Yuanxiu, who was advancing with all his might, rushed to the Dahuai willow tree in the center of the city.
"It's just right, it's still a little bit before it arrives." The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, under the Dahuai willow tree, there were already many people waiting, and there were even four people sitting on the Taishi chair.
Without exception, they are all well-dressed families.
"It's about to be the time of the Shen, and I won't see the man who sold the treasure." Among the four, the middle-aged fat man who was slightly fat said.
"Humph! You're lying to me! A grumpy old man patted the Taishi chair and looked at the beggar next to him with a little anger.
"Master Liu, how dare we! No matter how ignorant we are, we also know your name, Master Liu.
Presumably, the boy was delayed on the road and would definitely come. ”
Boss Zhou, who was in the beggar group, saw that the nobleman was angry, and knelt down with a "plop".
"Liu Shibo, it's not yet time to apply, if you don't come when the time comes, it's not too late for you to clean up this group of pickles." The young man, who was also dressed luxuriously, persuaded.
"Humph! If he dares to come, I will let him know what it means to be powerful! ”
After listening to the young man's words, Liu Yuanwai did not immediately stop his anger, but said another sentence in a harsh tone.
Concentrate:
What is the relationship between Lin Youyou and the protagonist, the author is very curious. (*^ω^*)
