At noon, the chariots and horses slowed down and stopped on the side of the official road.
Li Haitang took Zhang Ruyi and Liusu to the side of the stream to wipe their faces with a handkerchief, and to breathe some air. She met a sad woman by the side of the stream, holding a baby who was waiting to be fed.
"Auntie, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Liu??? Su hates Xiaowa crying the most. She can harden her heart to anyone, but Xiaowa is an exception.
Seeing that this woman is about thirty years old, her face is tanned red, her skin is rough, her clothes are old and dusty, she should come from a distance, the little bun squinted her eyes and opened her mouth, crying Out of breath, but no tears.
"I can't be a girl's aunt."
The woman's complexion was flushed, and she waved her hands repeatedly. The girl in front of her was wearing a satin dress, obviously a lady from a rich family.
For this kind of rich man, she always held the mentality of awe, and always had low self-esteem in her heart, and she didn't dare to look up.
"? This little baby is always crying, maybe he's hungry?"
Li Haitang followed, looked at the baby in the woman's arms, and asked, "Auntie, are you also a villager from both sides of the canal?"
"?Yep."
Hearing what Li Haitang said, the woman suddenly felt sour in her heart.
The man in his family was working out of town, and the family couldn't survive now. She took her parents-in-law on the road and went to the child's father.
It's all useless for her as a mother. She traveled all the way, and for some reason, her **** suddenly swelled, and she couldn't express milk, so the baby had no milk to drink.
In the morning, I passed the village in front of me, and a kind person gave me a few mouthfuls of porridge. I couldn't wake up, and Xiaowa was hungry again. She cried for a long time by the river, but she couldn't think of a way.
Everyone is a miserable person. They didn't even get a grain of rice for the food and grass for disaster relief, and they couldn't survive at all.
We can only find a way to live in a place with a warm climate, so as not to freeze to death.
There is still some copper coins with me, which is the last life-saving money of the family, and the woman doesn't know what to do, so she has to hold the baby and keep coaxing her, feeling sad in her heart.
Why does God have to rain every day and not give them a way to live for the farmers!
"???? The houses in our village were washed away by the rain, the river swelled, and the fields were all submerged. The crops were supposed to be harvested, but nothing was harvested."
The woman wiped her tears with her hands and told her tragic experience. The poor have the sorrows of the poor. Only when they have a full stomach can they think about other things.
The villagers who walked with her would be able to sell some pancakes and steamed buns, but they were all dry and hard things. Her baby was still young, so she could only eat some liquid food.
"Haitang, let's help aunt, the adults are hungry, but the little one can't bear it."
Zhang Ru thought that Xiaowa blushed from crying, her voice gradually weakened, she couldn't bear it, and she patted her hands gently.
"Don't dare to bother the nobleman. If there is that unnecessary porridge and rice, it would be best if you can give some of it."
The woman began to cry, and after a while she blushed and bowed her head again, "My baby's father has gone to work in the south, my in-laws and I must go."
Any weeds and wild fruits in the mountains can fill your stomach, but Xiaowa can't. She has no milk, so she can only order porridge.
The woman is a typical working woman, hard-working, and she is very ashamed of begging for food. She always feels embarrassing and embarrassing others.
"Auntie, don't give alms. People who live in this world don't encounter some difficulties. They will be fine when they get through this."
Li Haitang squatted down, carefully took the baby in the woman's arms, and did a simple check.
Xiaowa is fairly healthy, but she is hungry and a little weak, crying so much that her throat is broken.
It happened that there was a small red clay stove on the carriage, and Zhang Ruyi took the initiative to fetch things. Adding tassels, the three of them were busy, first cooking a pot of millet porridge.
"You are all good people, and you will be blessed."
The woman rubbed her hands together with a nervous expression on her face. She didn't know a single word, she had a clumsy tongue, and she couldn't speak well. In the past, she always listened to the old people who said that good things are rewarded with good things. I hope that by saying this, I can express The three of you won't mind my own gratitude.
"Auntie, don't be too polite."
Li Haitang hugged the little baby for a while, hummed "Lullaby", probably because she was tired from crying, the little baby closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
When the rain stopped, Xiao Lingchuan stopped to feed the horses fodder. From afar, he saw his wife humming and hugging her baby by the stream. Her side face was so peaceful, with a sweet smile on her lips. The smile made his heart skip a beat.
In the future, their children will also be held in her arms and gently coaxed. Thinking of this, his expression became softer.
"Brother Xiao, you are a lucky person."
Seeing that Lanyi fell asleep, Ji Qiu came here to chat with Xiao Lingchuan, his sister-in-law is good-looking and kind-hearted, the couple is really a marriage from a previous life.
Not everyone can find someone they like so smoothly.
Either it is the right family, the parents' order, the matchmaker's words, make do with it, and make do with it for a lifetime.
And he, a childhood sweetheart, died unexpectedly and tragically. After finally meeting a caring woman, he became like this again.
But, this time, Ji Qiu won't miss it again, he just wants to accompany Lan Yi and find a quiet small village to recuperate.
"Don't worry, Lan Yi was frightened for a while."
There were too many accidents one after another, Xiao Lingchuan patted Ji Qiu on the shoulder, all sufferings will pass, although it will be a difficult process.
The two chatted for a while, and here, Li Haitang also breathed a sigh of relief.
The small pot on the small red clay stove was steaming, the woman's stomach growled, and she lowered her eyelids, "I always meet good-hearted people along the way, and I had dinner yesterday."
"?? What I ate yesterday, it's all day today."
Without further ado, Zhang Ruyi went to the carriage with a food box, which contained pancakes bought at the tea shed yesterday. The whole group despised the dry pancakes, so they only ate dim sum for breakfast, which happened to be for the woman.
The pancakes are pancakes, and she prepared another jar of pickles.
"?? My aunt, your baby is only less than one year old, why is there no milk?"
As a doctor, this is the most common question, and Li Haitang asked it very naturally.
"?? I don't know, it's just swollen and uncomfortable, and then there is no milk."
The country???? wild woman is not so particular, she only thinks that Li Haitang is concerned, so she answers truthfully.
"???? That's it. Auntie, I'm a girl, can you let me see?"
As a goddess doctor, dealing with ordinary minor illnesses is simply trivial. If I guessed correctly, the woman was suffering from mastitis or something like that.
"Doctor?" The woman nodded immediately in agreement, she turned her back and faced the direction of the creek, she unbuttoned her skirt, Li Haitang glanced at the side, then put her hand in again, her guess was confirmed.
