"Alright."

Doctor Jiang got up and said lightly: "I have cured this female doll's wind and cold, fortunately it was delivered in time, if it is delayed for a few more hours, even I can't do anything." “

Hearing this, Mo Liang hurriedly looked at the little finch on the bed, and saw that the girl's little face, which had originally turned red due to the wind and cold, showed a healthy and ruddy face at this time, and even her breathing became much more stable, lying on the bed, like a delicate porcelain doll.

"Thank you, sir." Mo Liang thanked him.

Doctor Jiang waved his hand and said, "This is just the duty of a doctor, but this female doll is very weak in her own bones, and she has not eaten enough for a long time, so she can easily catch the wind cold. “

Mo Liang nodded.

"Let's go, let's go out first and let this girl doll sleep a little longer." Doctor Jiang said softly, and then walked out of the room with Mo Liang with gentle steps.

Walking out of the backyard, he came to the pharmacy again, and when he saw Mo Liang coming back, Xiao Man, who had been waiting impatiently, hurriedly said, "Mo, Brother Mo, how is Xiao Qi'er?" “

Xiao Ning on the side also cast a concerned gaze.

"It's fine, I'm resting inside." Mo Liang opened his mouth to comfort him.

Hearing Mo Liang's words, Xiao Man and Xiao Ning suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and put a hanging heart back into their stomachs.

"Okay, now that the person is fine, let's pay for the medicine." The shopkeeper of Ping An Pharmacy said lightly.

Hearing this, Mo Liang stretched out his hand to wipe the mustard seed ring, and a pocket suddenly appeared in his hand and handed it to the shopkeeper of the medicine shop.

The shopkeeper took the cloth bag and shook it in his hand, then nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't expect you to be quite rich as a little guy, forget it this time, remember not to take it as an example." “

With that, the shopkeeper turned around and went back to the backyard and disappeared from everyone's eyes, Doctor Jiang also nodded to Mo Liang, and followed the shopkeeper back to the backyard.

Seeing the shopkeeper leaving, Xiao Man, who had been cautious, walked up to Mo Liang and whispered, "Brother Mo, can I go in and see Xiao Qi'er?" “

"Go ahead, be careful not to wake her."

Mo Liang nodded, he understood Xiao Man's mood and admired his character.

With Mo Liang's consent, Xiao Man cautiously walked into the backyard, leaving behind Xiao Ning, who also looked anxious but did not make any moves.

Mo Liang looked at the girl who was standing on the side and was a little at a loss, and said puzzledly, "Aren't you going in to see her?" “

The girl's face was bitter, and she said in a low voice: "Xiao Man has a big opinion of me, if I want to go in, he will definitely be very angry." “

"Aren't you his companion? I see that you are also very concerned about the little finch, and I thought you were good companions? Mo Liang was a little surprised.

"It used to be, but now it ......."

Xiao Ning's head was very low, and his voice was sloppy, as if he was a little reluctant to mention it.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's okay." Mo Liang comforted: "Wait for the little finch to wake up in a while, you can also see it, don't rush at this time." “

"It doesn't matter, Brother Mo saved Xiao Qi'er's life, it is equivalent to saving my life, if Brother Mo doesn't think I'm talking too much."

Immediately, without waiting for Mo Liang to speak again, she said in a calm voice: "I used to live together with Xiao Qi'er Xiaoman and Xiao Jiu because they were all wild children without fathers and mothers, and at that time the youngest of us was Xiao Qi'er. “

"She is much more bitter than us, it is said that her father and mother have always wanted a boy, so they begged for the White Buddha everywhere, and even spent all the family's savings, but in the end they still gave birth to a girl, and her father and mother were very disappointed, thinking that it was the little finch who robbed them of the opportunity to give birth to their son, so one night the little finch was thrown into the well when it was still a baby."

"It happened that a few of us wandered through the place that night, and we heard the cry in the well, and we worked together to save the little finch who almost drowned, and since then there has been a new member in our family."

When he said this, Xiao Ning's face showed a hint of nostalgia, as if he was recalling that difficult but happy time, and even a smile appeared on his pale pretty face.

"Originally, a few of us lived a life of eating the last meal without the next meal, and we often had to bear the white eyes of other people, so the other children became more introverted and silent in this environment, only Xiaoman was different, he had a tenacious heart, although the age was not the oldest among us, but he always encouraged others not to give up hope and work hard to live."

"In order for other people to have better living conditions, and for the little finch to grow up healthily, Xiaoman often goes out alone to find food, sometimes he can meet some kind people who will give some food, and sometimes he has to go hungry if he can't touch it."

"In order to make Xiaoque'er's life better, we once suggested that Xiaoman find a good family for Xiaoque'er to send away, so that it is good for her and good for us, but Xiaoman disagreed, he was afraid that if he found another family, people would abandon Xiaoque'er again, rather than that, it was better to let her stay by his side."

"A few of us who are a little older sometimes have nothing to be hungry for a meal or two, we are all used to it, but Xiao Fei'er can't do it, she was just a baby at that time, and she couldn't control her instincts, so she would cry when she was hungry, and Xiao Man felt very guilty when she heard Xiao Fei's cry, and Xiao Man had to make some out-of-the-ordinary actions in order to be able to find food for Xiao Qi'er."

Xiao Ning recounted the story of the past in a low voice, with self-reproach in his tone, and Mo Liang sighed slightly in his heart when he listened, I am afraid that what happened later is the reason for the gap between these friends, and then listened to Xiao Ning continue.

"In order to solve the problem of Xiaoque'er's food, Xiaoman had to give up his dignity and beg on the street, and several other children also wanted to beg with him, but Xiaoman sternly refused, he was willing to give up his dignity for the survival of this small family, but he did not allow others to give up their dignity as well."

"But although Danzhou City looks very prosperous and there are many monks, who would pay too much attention to a little beggar on the side of the road, and then after a long time, Xiao Man took risks and began to fight with other people's children, snatch their food, or steal, so he supported our small family alone."

"Sometimes when he was discovered, he would be beaten, and during that time, he often went out early and returned late, and he was often covered in injuries."

"And although I was not very old at that time, but I developed very quickly, and I was almost the same as those who were a little older in appearance, so I also tried to reduce some of the burden for Xiaoman, so I lied about my age, and worked as a helper in a cloth shop in the city, making clothes for people, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was good, seeing that I was pitiful, and living with a group of children, he often gave me some leftover fabrics for making clothes, and I used these fabrics to make a few clothes for Xiaoman and them."

Xiao Ning's tone suddenly lowered when he said this, as if he didn't want to say anything about the next thing, Mo Liang didn't urge, but listened quietly, and after a while Xiao Ning continued: "Later, a powerful man came to the store, and for some reason said that he had taken a fancy to me and wanted to take me home to be his concubine, but I didn't want to, so I politely refused him, but the man was very strong, and said to the shopkeeper that if I didn't want to be his concubine, he would send someone to smash the store." “

"The shopkeeper didn't dare to offend the big man, so he consulted with me, hoping that I could agree to his request, I had no choice, and I didn't want to implicate the shopkeeper, so I left the cloth shop, intending to find a new job, but I underestimated the big man's determination, he knew that I left the cloth shop, so he sent someone to find me, forcibly tied me to the house, and wanted to forcibly occupy me as his concubine."

"Fortunately, I met the lady of the big man in the mansion, and his wife saw that he wanted to force me to be her concubine, so she stopped me, and I was spared, and then the lady gave me some silver taels and sent me out of the mansion."

"Originally, this matter should have ended here, but for some reason, in the area where we lived, it was rumored that I was greedy for the power of a big man and wanted to be someone else's concubine to get rid of the difficult life, and the rumors spread more and more, and finally reached Xiaoman's ears."

"He was very angry and thought I was a money-hungry person, and I wanted to explain it to him, but he was very angry and said that I had betrayed them and told them not to associate with me again."

"After that, no matter how hard I tried to reconcile our relationship, it was to no avail, and no one told me even when they finally changed places, so I had to do some help while looking for them, and finally I found them in the deserted house."

Xiao Ning's story is not vivid, it sounds like just a powerful adult doing one thing at will, but it has caused a rift between the small team that has lived for a long time, maybe some people will say, as long as the matter is explained clearly and the words are spoken, won't things be clear?

But the rumors are terrible, and some ignorant people only think that what they know is the truth of the matter, regardless of what kind of harm the words that come out of their mouths will bring to others.

And although Xiao Man looks very strong, he is only a child after all, and the pressure of survival almost crushes him, forcing him to give up his dignity and beg on the street, where is there still energy to explore the truth of the matter, maybe in Xiao Man's heart, if Xiao Ning is really a concubine of a big man, it is better than living a life that has been suffering with them.

Mo Liang had mixed feelings in his heart, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to open his mouth when the words came to his mouth, so he could only say in the end: "Don't think too much, when he comes out in a while, I will help you explain to him, you used to be a family, and I don't think Xiaoman is the kind of character who listens to what others say." “

"Thank you, Brother Mo."

Xiao Ning's voice was like a mosquito, and thanks to Mo Liang's good hearing, otherwise he really wouldn't have heard what she said.
