The little beggar snatched the money pouch from Luo Shang's waist, and directly went to the infirmary without delay. A few roars came from the infirmary from behind a rack on the side of the brocade silk cloth.
"Let's go, you little brat. Look at you, I'm sure you stole the money, right? "Hurry up and scram, you're disturbing my business." Wearing a refined robe, the doctor forcefully chased him out.
The child was pushed down on the doorstep, and he knelt at the feet of the groom, begging him repeatedly to be of no use. Biting his lips and wiping away his tears with his arm, he stood up and extended his hand to the doctor. "Then return the money to me."
Seeing the two tear stains on his face and how he still dared to ask for money, the doctor picked up a stick on the ground and swung it at him, threatening him: "Want money? "It's already good enough that I didn't send you to the government. Hurry up and f * ck off, I'll let the dog bite you."
The doctor spat at him in disdain. Then, he threw a few coins on the ground and walked inside.
"Mother, I'm sorry, it's all Bao Er's fault. Don't worry, Bao Er will definitely think of a way to save you." After wiping away his tears, he knelt down and stretched out his hand to pick up the copper coins one by one.
"Behind the support made of brocade and silk, Luo Shang looked at the tiny figure. This is the Wu Zhou that your mouths are full of? So what's the difference between your looks and the survival of the nation's law of the jungle? "
In her eyes, there was a lofty and unremitting look, as if she had transformed into a completely different person. In her eyes, there was the proud expression of a Heavenly Fate Emperor and his daughter.
"What did you say?" Leng Shaoyu frowned, and pulled her body away.
Luo Shang shook her head. Why is she so dazed again, what's going on? She looked at the man in front of her, and only after a long while did she stabilize her footing, and raised her head to look at him. What did I say? "
A few days ago, when she had fallen off a cliff, her head had often been drowsy again. Occasionally, there would be a familiar yet strange scene, but she could not recall it.
Leng Shaoyu released her and kept quiet.
The little beggar put the money he had picked up into his pocket. Only with this money could he buy a steamed bun. He hadn't eaten for a few days. He stood on his tiptoes and stared at the warm, snow-white steamed buns while pursing his lips.
"Go, go and beg for food." The steamed bun seller coaxed him with a face staff.
"What's wrong, boss?" At the sound of the voice, the woman who was greeting the guests put down her plate and looked at the poor child.
"After thinking for a while, she wrapped two steamed buns in yellow paper and handed them to the child." Take it and eat it. " She smiled kindly.
The little beggar took the steamed bun. The warm feeling from the palm caused his eyes to moisten as he carried the steamed bun and turned around, only to see Luo Shang and Leng Shaoyu standing opposite him. He was so scared that he immediately ran away.
However, the collar of his clothes was caught by the man behind him.
"The little ghost struggled as hard as he could." Don't hit me, don't hit me, please let me go. I'll pay you back. "
"Don't be afraid, I might be able to treat your mother." Luo Shang's sweet smile caused the child to stop struggling. He thought for a while, then raised her head and blinked her eyes. "Really?"
Seeing Luo Shang nod his head, she grinned, revealing a row of teeth. "Then, he lowered his head, clutched the yellow cloth bag with both hands and mumbled softly." But I... I don't have any money. "
"Cut the crap, hurry up and lead the way." Leng Shaoyu said coldly. Just like that, his cold face made the hesitating child compromise.
Following behind the child was a secluded rural path. Although it was within the scope of the capital, it was by a remote mountain.
Aside from the tall mountains at the side, there was nothing else but bare ground. Occasionally, one could see a few patches of slightly withered yellow grass. It seemed that very few people had passed this area, not even a tree could be seen.
It was a long walk before he heard the trickle of water and saw that he was at the foot of the mountain. Under the scorching sunlight, the water felt a little hot and dizzy. Not a single fish swam inside, and the only things that could be seen were the teetering aquatic plants and the stone that quietly sank to the bottom.
They were the only ones who lived here, the child said. His father had come up the mountain when he was very young and killed himself by chopping firewood. Her mother had lived here with him for eleven years. A year ago, after his mother felt the cold, she was unable to recover. She lived off medicine all year round, and recently, her vision had blurred, making it difficult for her to even stand.
Only when they got closer did they manage to catch a glimpse of some thorny wildflowers by the roadside. The pungent fragrance from the flowers did not give off a fresh feeling of joy. The steep path through the weeds was very narrow and difficult to walk on. If one did not look carefully, one would not notice that there were other people living here.
It was not long before he saw a thatched cottage, casually built from a tattered thatch, in a gap in the mountain ahead, surrounded by fences, and in the open space of the yard, where the leaves had long since withered and yellow, and where from time to time a few birds were flying about, chirping and chirping.
From far away, two or three heavy coughs could be heard in the house, sounding like a sick old man.
The little beggar muttered under his breath as he ran towards the house, shouting, "Mother …" I'm back, Mother … "
As if he was considering something, he turned around in a daze, and panted as he looked at Luo Shang. Can you promise me one thing? "
Before the child could say anything, Luo Shang had already nodded her head. I promise you. "
"Thank you." The little beggar dragged his head and ran.
Leng Shaoyu stood behind her and closed his white fan. The kid must have wanted them to beg for money for him, so as not to worry the lady.
It was a dark room with a floor made of black earth. Walking inside, there was only a single window. No wonder it was so damp and dark.
"Who's here? Bao Er, is someone coming? "Who?" The woman lying on the bed seemed to be very sensitive. When she heard the footsteps, her expression became very tense, and her thin face also became nervous.
Bao Er held the woman's hand and explained, "They are good people and have come to help Mother treat my illness."
Hearing that she was here to treat herself, the woman coughed even harder. She knocked on the bed and shouted, "Didn't I tell you not to bring anyone to the house? Don't bring anyone. Child, why are you so disobedient?"
"But mother's illness must be treated by a doctor. If Mother dies, I don't want to live either. " Bao Er's tears that were filled with grievance flowed down, yet he did not let the woman notice it.
"Silly child." The woman cried as she held the child.
Luo Shang immediately went over and sat down beside the woman. Regardless of whether the woman was willing or not, she still forcefully took her pulse, and carefully looked at her complexion and her paralyzed and sickly legs. Then she wrote a prescription and gave it to the child.
"Your name is Bao Er, right?" "Her voice is very pleasant to hear." I've already brought the medicine. Follow the instructions written here and remember to simmer for two hours. If you don't understand, how … Ask him. " He pointed at the man beside him who had nothing to do.
After Bao Er and Leng Shaoyu left the house, Luo Shang unfurled the silver needles that she had been carrying with him all this time.
However, he heard the woman speak. Your voice doesn't seem to be that of someone from the Wu Zhou. "
"Oh? "Then where do I look like from?" Luo Shang picked up a thin and long silver needle and carefully compared it with before.
The woman sighed. "To defend the nation." When he said these two words, he could not help but reveal a sorrowful expression.
Luo Shang smiled, she did not speak, and carefully treated her.
Under the roof of the house, Bao Er used a large piece of leaf to fan himself, choking and coughing on it, making himself look even more miserable.
Looking at the white fan on his head, he lowered his head and flapped it a few times with all his might. Towards Leng Shaoyu, no child would be able to avoid fear, not to mention using such a good fan to fan the flames.
"Take it."
Hearing the cold voice, Bao Er swallowed his saliva that was filled with fear, and received the fan. However, he was as weak as a sheep, he lacked the strength he had before.
After a long while, Luo Shang finally walked out, and a few more traces of fatigue appeared on her face.
"How is my mother?" Bao Er stood up and asked anxiously.
"She's fine. It won't be long before she can move her legs. There is nothing wrong with the eyes, which is what happens when you live in a dark place all year round. "
Seeing that his mother was unconscious, Bao Er was very worried, but he was also afraid of not seeing the two anymore, so he forced Luo Shang and Leng Shaoyu to stay.
