Chapter 3: Orphaned Again
In fact, this old man was kind-hearted, he saw the barren mountains and mountains around, and there were no people in a radius of dozens of miles, so he was afraid that he would encounter danger alone, so he did not urge him to leave.
Da Lin followed the old man forward for an hour, and finally came to the old man's house. The old man's wife was surprised to see the old man take it back, and a teenage child was very surprised. After listening to the old man's account, his wife walked up to Da Lin and said kindly, "What is your name, where does your family live, and why did you end up here?"
Hearing the old lady's questions, Dalin really didn't know how to answer. He thought for a while and said, "My name is Dalin, my father died, my brother and I came out, and we were going to go to the other side of the mountain, but I didn't expect to meet a monster halfway, I escaped, and my brother and I got separated, and I didn't know how to come here." ”
After listening to Dalin's continuation, the originally kind old man's heart was moved. Especially this old lady, thinking of her two children who died in the first few years, she couldn't help but feel sad. If his own child is still alive, it is two years older than his. Seeing Da Lin couldn't help but think of his child, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
So he discussed with his wife and left Dalin in his home. At the same time, he told him: "Since you have nowhere to go, stay in our house for the first time, and when you find out the whereabouts of your brother, you will decide for yourself whether you will stay in my house or go elsewhere." Dalin was very happy when he heard this, and now he finally has a place to live. In this way, Dalin stayed at the old man's house from then on, and the old couple liked Dalin more and more.
A year later, the old couple discussed and accepted Dalin as their adopted son, so that he could inherit the family business and set up a household. Dalin nodded in agreement, and on the day of writing, the old man called the people with heads and faces in the village, as well as the neighbors, to do a happy event, which was very lively. Since then, people have known that Old Man Zhang has taken in a godson. Because they had two children who had previously died tragically. This time they named it Zhang Shan, nicknamed Zhang San. Since then, Zhang San has been called away by the villagers, and his big name Zhang Shan is rarely mentioned, let alone Dalin.
Since Dalin was accepted by the old man as his godson, the old man's attitude towards Dalin has changed. The old couple of them liked Dalin how they didn't look at it, and how they liked it. He never had to work again. Pampered every day with nothing to do. Gradually, Dalin changed from a smart and capable teenager to a swinger who wandered around idly.
Someone once advised them: "When it comes to educating children, we can't let them go, let alone let them go." Not to mention that it is not his own". But the old man didn't listen to it at all, and still went his own way and let Dalin go. Whenever people saw Da Lin coming, they stayed away.
Three years later, Zhang Laohan and his wife both left, and it stands to reason that Dalin said to them that they should be grateful to Dade and were very sad and angry. But he hastily buried the two old men, and not a single tear was shed.
After the two old people did not have it, Dalin began to sit and eat the mountain empty, although the old couple had quite a family property, but in just one year, Dalin was almost wasted and squandered, it turned out that those fox friends and dog friends rarely interacted with him, seeing that it was becoming more and more difficult to eat, Dalin began to get anxious.
began to borrow grain and money from the neighbors, and saw this originally arrogant Zhang San, who was bowing down to people for a mouthful of food, and some well-wishers gave him some in the face of the dead old man Zhang. But later, when I saw that he only borrowed and did not pay it back, I stopped lending him anything.
I couldn't borrow anything, I didn't have food in my stomach, and I didn't have energy in the aisle. Dalin began to steal things, grain, rice, and noodles as he saw them. At first, people didn't know it, but after a long time, they were discovered. The neighbors on the left and right began to watch out for him.
