Chapter 18 Rescue
People are small and weak, how much firewood can he pick up in a day, not to mention that a bundle of firewood is really not worth a few dollars.
Maybe it's because of his frustrated self-esteem, maybe it's because he's strong by nature, maybe it's because he knows at a young age that life in his neighborhood is not satisfactory, and he never accepts help from others.
However, his mother's illness could not be delayed, but he tried his best, but he still did not have enough money to cure his mother.
It has been snowing heavily in the past few days, and the weather is extremely cold, so he thought that when Chai He was sold at a good price, he would be able to ask a famous doctor in the city to help.
But I didn't expect the reality to be so cruel.
It's not that he didn't meet a well-wisher, but the famous doctor told him that it was too late, and his mother's illness had dragged on for too long.
Disheartened, and cold and hungry, his mother's days were numbered, and he planned to return to that dilapidated home.
So quietly went to find his father with his mother, although his mother deceived his father to go far away, but he was precocious and knew that his father had passed away.
So he doesn't want others to disturb them, he's going to die, how can he still owe others favors.
But today, I don't know why, a noble son who seems to him to be personable keeps talking to him.
And this man was so annoying, he bluntly said that his mother was going to die, and although he knew it was true, he didn't want to hear it said.
The boy said that he was thirsty and wanted to beg for a bowl of water to drink, hey, it turns out that the rich children also have troubles?
There is indeed water in the bladder, but it is the mother's, how can it be given to someone else to drink.
But seeing that this boy doesn't look like a bad person, he must be very thirsty. Just point him to the place, and he will go and fetch water himself, we are going to die soon, and we can't do so much.
But is it true that this boy said that he could cure his mother's illness? But we don't have any money, so how can that be good?
This boy is a good man, but I can't ask for his alms, how can leading the way be like healing my mother!
If he can cure his mother's illness, I will try to earn silver taels, and I will always pay him back.
Zhang Yi thought silently in his heart.
This stubborn child's name is Zhang Yi, he really lives up to his name, and he has great perseverance at a young age.
Of course, Lin Zhining would not have thought of what this little child would think.
Although he saw that this child was precocious, he didn't know that he had secretly pricked a few stitches, and he had already been looked at by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi is indeed very smart, he knows what this son is doing, not to mention that the painful look on his mother's face has been reduced a lot.
Although he didn't want to owe favors to others, the two had made a deal, and he was very happy to see his mother suffer less.
His eyes were a little red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and concentrated on pulling the cart.
No matter how strong he is, he is also a child, and he firmly remembers Lin Zhining's kindness in his heart, but he doesn't say a word.
Because his mother told him that if he owes others a favor, he should repay it with greater kindness, not just words.
Zhang's house is not far, but they walk very slowly.
No matter how slow you go, you will eventually reach the end of the road.
The Zhang family is very poor, Lin Zhining can see from the clothes of his mother and son, but he didn't expect to be so poor.
The futon was only a little tattered under Zhang's cushion, there were no tables and chairs in the house, the pots and pans were all broken, and the whole family did not have a complete thing except for the board car that could still be dragged.
Lin Zhining pushed the palace for the Zhang family to invigorate blood, transfused some true qi, and alleviated some pain.
He had already examined her carefully, her condition was very serious, and it could not be cured in a short period of time, even if his innate true qi was the best at cultivating his body.
When he arrived at Zhang's house, the stream that Zhang Yi said was actually not far from his house.
Zhang Yi's face was red, a little embarrassed, as if he was ashamed, what he used to exchange was really not worth mentioning.
"Let's go, I still need to collect some medicine, I need your help. Lin Zhining knew what he was thinking, and he didn't want to hurt the child's heart, so he said indifferently.
Hearing the collection of medicine, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he knew that the collection of medicine at this time must be needed for his mother's treatment.
He hurriedly followed, and although he didn't know how he could help, he felt much better if he could help.
Heavy snow covers the mountains and foreign objects are forbidden, this is not a good weather for collecting medicine, but this is not difficult for Lin Zhining.
What's more, his original intention was not to collect medicine, but to give this child an excuse to repay the favor.
The stream water is very clean and cold, Lin Zhining still picked it up and drank a few sips, it was sweet and silky, and it was not bad.
Although it was nearly late, there were still signs of wild animal activity in the snow, and it didn't take long for Lin Zhining to catch two rabbits.
Zhang Yi, who was waiting to collect firewood by the stream, saw the rabbit in Lin Zhining's hand, and his eyes widened.
Although rabbits are easier to catch after the snow, he really didn't expect that this person who looked like a noble son would be so good at kung fu and catch two.
However, what made him even happier were the few herbs that Lin Zhining was holding in his other hand, obviously he thought it was for his mother's treatment.
"Let's go, borrow your stove, this rabbit will be my money to borrow your house. Lin Zhining said with a smile.
Licking his chapped lips, Zhang Yi also had a smile on his face, he hadn't tasted meat for a long time.
As for owing Lin Zhining favors, he already owes a lot, and it is not because of this, not to mention that he can also provide some firewood.
