Chapter 17 The Road Meets the Filial Son
I don't know if it's because I've never been a good at acting, or because I'm hypocritical, Lin Zhining feels that since he left the Liufu compound, he feels that the air is a little fresher.
In fact, there is also the young man who likes to hang out with a bunch of hypocritical old foxes who have more eyes than the water in the sea.
If they have Zhang Sanfeng's wisdom, Huang Yaoshi's erudition, Hong Qigong's heroism, and Zhou Botong's naughtiness, it may still be possible, they, forget it.
The North Four Monsters are known as kung fu monsters and have strange tempers, but unfortunately they are old and have become sophisticated and greedy.
Lin Zhining stood on a hill outside Baoding City, overlooking Baoding City, sighed, and then walked south without looking back.
Lin Zhining was very happy along the way, his performance was not in vain, at least the people in the northern martial arts knew that he was such a young man in the rivers and lakes.
Since coming into this world, he has changed his strategy, and he will not easily hurt people's lives unless he is guilty of the most heinous crimes, such as "cannibal Arhats".
But maybe it was because he was too much of a showman at Liu Suifeng's birthday banquet, and there were few people in the Northland martial arts who didn't open their eyes to provoke him.
This gave him a lot of fun, but it also gained a bit of peace.
Along the way, Lin Zhining did not have a specific direction, and went as he pleased.
saw the injured martial arts person, and also took action to treat it, and gradually, his medical reputation was even higher than martial arts.
On this day, he came to Shandong and saw a filial son, who was not boasted of by others, but with his own eyes.
It was a stubborn child, only about five or six years old, born thin and small, with sparse yellow hair, like a small skeleton covered with a layer of human skin.
Her thin clothes were torn everywhere and crumbling in the cold wind, but she gritted her teeth and dragged a wooden cart as tall as others, and a thin woman in the same ragged clothes lay on the cart, her face showing a painful expression, and her breathing was imperceptible.
As he hurried forward step by step, the snow under his feet covered his calves, and a slipped of snot and froze in his mouth.
Although there was a man on the road who couldn't stand it and wanted to help, he decisively refused, so he walked forward step by step.
Lin Zhining couldn't bear to see it, this is still a child.
"Why don't you want to accept their help?" Lin Zhining was very curious, but he saw that this child would definitely not accept his help, but he couldn't help but ask.
The kid glared at Lin Zhining fiercely, and he didn't stop talking, maybe he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Is the person in the car your mother? She won't last long, and if you don't die of illness, she'll freeze to death." Lin Zhining said gently.
But the tone is gentle, but the words are hurtful. Isn't it the most hurtful thing to tell you the truth?
The child's eyes immediately turned red, but he forcibly held back the tears hidden in a pair of sad eyes, ignored Lin Zhining, and still walked forward slowly.
"I'm a little thirsty, would you like to invite me to a bowl of water?" Lin Zhining said, but he looked at a water bladder in the car.
"When the water is dry, and if you are thirsty, there is a brook not far ahead, which will never freeze, and you can go and fetch water for yourself. The voice was hoarse and dry, not at all childlike, and the tone was quite old-fashioned and clear, which showed that this was a very precocious child.
Lin Zhining's eyes lit up when he heard him speak, although his voice was not good, as long as he was willing to speak, everything had a way.
"So, can you take me there? In exchange, I can heal your mother. Lin Zhining said with a smile.
He saw the child's eyes light up for a moment, and then dim again.
"Mother said that we can't accept alms from others under any circumstances, and we don't have the money to heal the sick. When I send my mother home, I can take you there. The kid said firmly.
Lin Zhining smiled, no wonder those people helped him, he didn't accept it, maybe in his eyes, those people looked at him pitifully.
But although he is young, he doesn't need anyone to pity him, he is really a stubborn child.
"But you lead the way for me, and I pay for your journey, and it is only natural that I will pay for your journey. Lin Zhining said.
"Showing you the way is just a gesture of effort, and it doesn't cover the cost of treatment. The child said seriously.
"But for me, thirst is the most important thing, and treating your mother is just a matter of effort. Lin Zhining was a little helpless and said.
As if thinking about the relationship, Liang Jiu seemed to have the upper hand in treating his mother, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, you treat my mother, I will lead the way for you as a deposit, and I will try to pay you back the rest." ”
"Whew", Lin Zhining breathed a long sigh of relief, he never knew that communicating with a child who strictly abides by the rules is such a troublesome thing.
"Well, you have the final say. Lin Zhining sighed in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome to help others.
In fact, it is not far from the child's home, and at the foot of the mountain not far ahead, a dilapidated thatched hut is the child's home.
Although he agreed to Lin Zhining's exchange, he did not agree to Lin Zhining to help him pull the car, because he had no extra money and goods, and he did not sell himself to Lin Zhining.
The road was not far away, but he walked too slowly, Lin Zhining was afraid that before he arrived home, his mother would die, so while he was not paying attention, he pierced a few golden needles on the woman's body, saving her life first.
The two negotiated the conditions, and the child seemed to be a little more relaxed, and also said a few more words to Lin Zhining.
Lin Zhining couldn't stop talking, and he didn't notice it, and after a while, the situation of his family was clearly known by Lin Zhining.
The boy's father was a hunter, but he died early in the hunt, and his mother dragged him alone, although he could not read, but he also knew a lot of truth.
Unfortunately, his mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so he planned to sell himself, but no one bought him because he was too thin.
Originally, selling his body was against his mother's education, but no one wanted to buy him, and he didn't want to owe anyone the slightest favor.
Every day, he dragged a cart to the city to sell the firewood he had picked up, so that he could find a doctor for his mother.
