Chapter 301: Daniu and Erya
"Brother, please let me go, I really have something important to tell you." The little beggar was thrown on the bed. He struggled to get up and kowtowed to the guard Anan.
Seeing this, Anan hurried to help him:
"You misunderstood. We are not bad people. It was my girl who saved you. You are seriously injured now. Don't move."
The little beggar's face was covered with tear marks, and he was skin and bones, looking very pitiful. After hearing Anan's explanation, he recalled everything that had happened before. It seemed that he bumped into a brother while running away, and knocked his buns off his body.
Afterwards, Mr. Zhao Sanye's lackeys caught up with him and beat him up so badly that he fainted.
When he woke up again, he was here. In other words, it was the young man and girl he bumped into who saved him.
"Thank you for saving me, but my sister needs me now. She hasn't eaten for several days and has caught a cold. I have to go back to her now!"
The little beggar continued to kowtow to Anan, crying as he kowtowed, with an anxious look on his face.
"Don't be like this, and don't worry. I'll go ask my girl for you. She'll find a way to save your sister. Just wait!"
Anan knew the situation was urgent, but he still had to ask the girl for instructions.
After hearing what Anan said, Su Wan immediately decided to let him take two people to find the child. After all, it is a life.
So, Anan asked the little beggar to tell him the address, but the little beggar insisted on going with them. Unable to resist his pleading, Anan took him with him.
Finally, his sister was found in an abandoned ancestral hall in the city. She looked to be seven or eight years old and was extremely thin. The child had fainted because she had not eaten for a long time.
Anan brought the girl back to the inn and asked a doctor to come and see her. He fed her some medicine and half a bowl of porridge, and she barely managed to save her life. The little beggar was extremely anxious and stayed by the girl's side all the time.
Su Wan and Su Yi also took the time to come over and take a look. The two siblings were ten and eight years old, and they looked really pitiful.
It is said that their parents disappeared due to a flood, and it must have been an accident. The brother and sister followed the refugees to Jeju to seek refuge, and by chance they entered the city. They have lived in the city for two months, leading a life of begging.
However, children's physical constitution is not as good as that of adults, especially little girls. It would be strange if they don't get sick if they live a life of hunger and cold, eat leftovers, dirty food and sewage every day.
The little girl was very weak. Su Wan thought that since he had to stay in Jeju City for some time anyway, he might as well be a good person and see the brother and sister off to good health. Then, as Anan said, he would send them to Fengyue Villa.
Fengyue Villa has a tradition of adopting orphans. As long as they come across one, it means there is an opportunity. If the child is willing, they can go up the mountain to learn skills.
After learning about it, we found out that the little beggar was named Da Niu and the little girl was named Erya. They were names that would be given in rural areas, indicating that their humble lives would be easy to support.
When Su Wan came in, Da Niu was very considerate and knelt down in front of her. With a thud, the sound of the corrugated cover engraving on the wooden floor was so loud that it hurt to hear.
"Thank you, Miss, for saving my brother and me. From now on, I will be your servant. I will serve you like a slave without any complaints."
The child is very smart and knows what to say to please others.
But Su Wan didn't need a child to be his servant, let alone a slave.
"You don't have to be my servant. I've found a good place for you. If you trust me, when your sister gets better, you can take her there. There, you can learn martial arts and be able to protect your sister in the future."
"Miss, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay by your side to repay you." Da Niu shook his head. In fact, he had selfish motives. From the first moment he saw this sister, he knew that she was not an ordinary person.
If he followed her, as long as he worked hard, asked fewer questions, and was perceptive, she would always be able to give him a living.
The most important thing is to give his sister something to eat.
Su Wan smiled when she heard this. This smile made Da Niu dazed. He had never seen such a beautiful sister in his life. She was like a fairy from heaven.
"Kid, I know what you're thinking. I'll arrange for you to go to a place where you'll have enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and no one can bully you. It's much better than following me. You won't learn anything from me."
"But, Miss, you saved me, so I should stay and repay you. My mother said, even a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Don't worry, sister. I eat very little, and my younger sister eats very little too. Besides, I'm very strong and can do a lot of work!"
Da Niu's words made Su Yi laugh. He smiled at Da Niu and said:
"If you don't eat more, how will you have the strength?"
"I..." For a moment, Da Niu didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, I just want to tell you that when you go to that place in the future, you can become a powerful person like these brothers, able to climb walls and run across rooftops, and do good deeds. You can think about it slowly, there is still time."
Su Wan thought that he didn't trust others at the moment, but just subconsciously trusted himself who saved them. After getting along for a while, he would be able to figure out whether it was good or bad.
…
After staying in Jeju for a month, and after Yuyan Hall opened, Su Wan prepared to set off for Minzhou Youxian.
During this period, the brother and sister Da Niu and Erya have recovered their health and gained weight. Compared to their previous skinny appearance, they now look more like normal children of their age.
Especially Erya, who looks fair and clean after gaining weight, with two dimples when she smiles, big eyes, and beautiful eyeballs like grapes.
Da Niu looks smart, and he was particularly cautious during his time in the inn.
He helped the guards with their work and moving things, and didn't talk much. He just stood quietly outside Su Wan's door.
Su Wan told him not to stay and watch, but he refused. Every time Liuyun did some work, he would rush to do it.
Whenever Su Wan wanted to eat some snacks, he would offer to run errands for her.
During the meal, Wan, Su Yi, Liuyun Liuying sat at one table, while the guards sat at two tables.
After Erya was able to get out of bed, the brother and sister ate with the guards, but every time they carried their own bowl, picked up a few dishes, and squatted in the corner to eat. Their humble and cautious appearance was heartbreaking.
Moreover, he only ate one bowl of rice at each meal, fearing that he would eat too much and dislike Su Wan and Su Yi, even though the brother and sister were clearly not full.
Seeing this, Su Wan could only tell them that since they were staying at her place for the day, they should eat until they were full. However, the two children still refused to listen and insisted on eating only one bowl, so Su Yi resorted to a tough approach.
He told them that he hated this pretentious look the most. The two children were frightened and no longer tried to eat only one bowl of food. Instead, they ate until they were full.
Every time after eating, there is always not a grain of rice left in the bowl. Only when you have experienced hunger do you know how precious food is.
