Xu Qing was surprised: "it's still raining there?! We haven't had half a drop of rain since the beginning of spring! "
What happened to this day?!
"I know. If you come a few days later, I'll die of thirst here." Duanmu rang.
Xu Qing speechless: "then you still tell us to go, in case all flooded how to do?"
Duanmu Xiang was lying comfortably on the wooden floor under the eaves. He put out his fan and said, "don't worry, we'll move to the ground at that time. My underground palace is just as comfortable."
Li Changting made a pot of tea and poured a cup for duanmuxiang and Xu Qing.
"After all, are you going to my house or not?" Duanmu asked.
"It's too far to go." Li Changting rejected it.
"I've come to pick you up on purpose." Duanmu ring was in a little mood. "Although the journey took more than a month, I suffered a lot along the way."
"It's hot outside. It's not suitable for driving."
"We have space. We'll have a rest while we're on the road. It won't delay us."
"You forget, and Huier."
Li Changting let Duanmu ring speechless, half ring, Duanmu ring nodded in praise: "it's not convenient to take a child on the road."
But Xu Qing asked, "can't you really tell Huier about space?"
"No Li Changting tone even with a bit of warning, even Duanmu ring also shook his head: "can't say!"
Xu Qing finally realizes that Li Changting's attitude towards hui'er is not like that of a father towards his son.
She hesitated for a long time, but finally she couldn't help asking, "is hui'er Not your own son? "
Li Changting didn't hide anything, and he affirmed Xu Qing's conjecture.
Duanmu laughs: "how old is Huier, how old is Changting. Six years ago, Changting was 18 years old, and Mao didn't grow enough."
Li Changting squinted at him and said, "it's like you're not yourself."
Duanmu ring
"Na hui'er's parents..." Xu Qing doesn't understand, so Li Changting has been helping people raise their son?! What is hui'er's life experience?
"No more of him." Duanmu rang, "keep it. If hui'er doesn't go back to his heartless parents, you'll pick up a son for nothing."
Speaking of this, Duanmu ring asked: "if you don't leave, what should I do? It's a waste of time. "
Xu Qing put aside hui'er's business and said with a smile, "just stay here. It's so hot that you can't take a month's journey on the water. I don't lack food here, nor water. We found an underground river in our village. Now we all live in a cave. We'll dig a cave for you next to my house. You can live as long as you want."
Duanmu Xiang thought: "OK, with your space, I don't worry about food, so I live."
After taking the letter, Li Changting plans to go back. Duanmu Xiang is too lazy to go out on his way. He is not polite. He goes upstairs to clean up a room, finds out the bedding and pillow, and sleeps. He just tells Li Changting not to forget to take a burden from the next room.
Xu Qing and Li Changting left the yard in the afternoon. They walked back from another street. When they passed Haowei restaurant, Xu Qing saw two white lanterns hanging under the eaves of Haowei restaurant.
Some of the white lanterns are dilapidated. Obviously, they have been hanging for some time, but the white lanterns hanging in front of the door indicate that there is a funeral in this family.
Xu Qing is a little concerned and leads Li Changting to the back of Haowei restaurant. The door of Haowei's house is closed. Li Changting holds Xu Qing and goes directly over the wall.
Xu Qing pushed open the door, a stream of dust came to her face, and then she saw Hao Wei lying on the Kang!
Thinking it was a corpse, Xu Qing was startled. As a result, Li Changting said, "it's not dead. It's breathing."
At this time, Xu Qingcai noticed that Hao Wei's chest was slowly undulating slightly.
No wonder she thought it was a corpse. It was actually Hao Wei on the Kang. She was so thin and pale that she only had a skeleton shelf.
Hao Wei still holds half a dark corn cake in his hand. As soon as he approaches, Xu Qing smells the stench from him. He doesn't know how many days he hasn't bathed.
Xu Qing enters the space and calls Duanmu ring out. Duanmu ring has just fallen asleep for a few minutes. After being awakened, he looks resentful.
"Life matters. You can sleep as long as you want after saving people!" Xu Qing pulled him out of the space and pointed to the smell on the Kang, "this is me It's half a friend. Let's see if we can save him. "
Duanmu ring came two steps closer, but he was soon smoked back: "why so smelly!"
Then he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and poured out a pill: "who are you going to break his mouth?"
Xu Qing took out a cloth towel: "I'll go."
"I'll do it." Li Changting took the cloth towel from Xu Qing's hand, wrapped it in his hand, went to the Kang, squatted beside Hao Wei, and broke his mouth.
Duanmu Xiang throws the pill into Hao Wei's mouth. Li Changting immediately closes Hao Wei's mouth, and then points the acupoints on Hao Wei's chest twice.After a while, Hao Wei wakes up. After seeing Xu Qing and Li Changting, two wisps of light burst out from his gloomy eyes.
"Can you get up?" Xu Qing asked him.
Hao Wei sat up tremblingly and laughed. He opened and closed his shriveled mouth. His voice was hoarse and weak: "I'm ok. I just fainted because I was hungry."
Xu Qing said, "wait for me."
With that, she turned out of the room, went into the space where Hao Wei couldn't see, and then took out a large bamboo tube of white porridge with a lot of sugar.
She went in with porridge and handed it to Hao Wei: "eat something to pad your stomach first."
Hao Wei took the bamboo tube and saw the fragrant porridge inside. His eyes suddenly turned red and his voice trembled. "Thank you."
Taking advantage of his porridge, Xu Qing asked, "where's your mother?"
Hao Wei cherished the drink very much. Wen Yan said, "I went there two months ago. Someone came to my house to rob things. My mother fought with them..."
Hao Wei wanted to cry, but she couldn't even shed tears.
"But the animals died in the end. They robbed too much food and were killed by others. Later, I arranged a funeral for my mother and pretended to escape. In fact, I was hiding in the cellar at home all the time. "
Hao Wei's cellar was very hidden, which made him hide for two months without anyone finding him. But two months later, the food and water at home were almost enough. If Xu Qing came one day later, he would starve to death on the Kang.
"Why didn't you escape with everyone?" Asked Xu Qing.
"I don't want to leave. This is my home. Where can I go after I leave?" Hao Wei sighed helplessly, "bandits are rampant outside. It's not necessarily good to go out."
"Then clean up and come with us to Changxi village."
Hao Wei is a good boy. Xu Qing can't help him. Anyway, Duanmu ring is here today, and there won't be many more Hao Wei.
