Chapter 221 The Village Under the Cliff
"What about your father?"
"Dad hasn't woken up for over a year! A year ago, a bully came to the village and bullied the old and young in the village. Dad fought hard on his own and drove the bully away. In the end, the bully took advantage of Dad going into the mountains to hunt and attacked him. He hit him on the back of the head with a stick. Mom went to see a doctor at that time.
The doctor examined him and prescribed some medicine, saying that Dad would be fine after a few doses. But he took medicine after medicine, hired several doctors, and even ran out of money, but Dad still didn't wake up...
Mother said that father was not dead, he was still breathing, but just fell into a coma. So mother went into the mountains to dig herbs and sold them to the pharmacy in Ancheng, just to treat father!
Sister, please buy these fox furs and save my mother, okay..."
"Where is your village?"
"Our village is called Yazi Village. It's located at the foot of a cliff on the other side of Yunding Mountain, just outside Ancheng. Because it's so remote and the roads are difficult to get to, many doctors are reluctant to come and see us!"
Yun Li thought for a moment and said softly, "How about this? It's so late tonight and the mountain roads are rugged and unsafe. I'll go back with you tomorrow morning to see if your mother and father are doing better."
The boy's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Yun Li excitedly: "Sister, can you treat illnesses?"
Yun Li smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
The boy was overjoyed and knelt down, thanking Yun Li repeatedly: "Thank you, sister! Thank you, sister!"
Yun Li hurriedly pulled him up and said softly, "You're welcome. As for the condition and whether he can be saved, I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow to find out!"
The boy looked uneasy. "Yeah, I know! But sister, I don't have much money to give you..."
Yun Li shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I don't want your money! But don't be too happy too soon, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"As long as Sister is willing to go, I have to thank her no matter what!"
As if she had thought of something, Yun Li asked again: "Where are you staying so late?"
The boy shook his head and pointed to the alley ahead, saying, "I'll just stay in the alley ahead for one night. It'll be dawn soon!"
Yunli turned her head to look at the alley. It was narrow, deep, and dark to the bottom.
I sighed softly, thinking, "It's so hard for this boy, bearing so much pressure at such a young age." Perhaps it's because I'm a mother myself, but I feel a certain pity for the boy I see. He should be growing up, but he has to shoulder the burden of his family's misfortune. It's truly heartbreaking!
"Come to my house tonight and we'll go together tomorrow morning!"
The boy swallowed his saliva, looked at Helian Chi who had been silent from beginning to end, and said timidly: "This... Thank you for your kindness, sister... I'd better not disturb you..."
Yun Li said firmly: "No, you're not safe on the street! It's a deal, just listen to me! Come with me! Pack your things!"
The boy hesitated for a moment. Judging from the clothes and temperament of the brother and sister in front of him, they were either rich or noble, noble and elegant people. He felt so lucky to have their kind and benevolent help!
"Thank you, big brothers and sisters!"
Yun Li looked at the boy with a smile and said, "Well, you're welcome!"
It was getting late, so they bought some food for the boy on the street and then took him back to the Third Prince's Mansion.
Yun Li asked: "What's your name?"
"Sister, my name is Tianzhu, so just call me Zhuzi!"
Yun Li nodded and waved for the butler to come over. "Okay, Tianzhu, follow the butler uncle. He will take you to rest!"
Tianzhu nodded and thanked: "Thank you sister, thank you uncle, Tianzhu is sorry to bother you!"
"Go!"
Not to mention, Tianzhu's words and actions are quite sensible and polite! At least he doesn't make people feel disgusted when they come into contact with him, which is why Yunli chose to help him.
…
In the bedroom, lying on the bed, Yunli and Helianchi each held a fat baby in their arms. After coaxing the two children to sleep,
Yun Li turned around and asked softly, "Achi, you won't blame me for meddling in your business, right?"
"How could that be! I sympathize with Tianzhu's experience. Such a young child has gone through so much hardship. Li'er is kind and beautiful, and she is his benefactor!
Tomorrow you and I will go to Yazi Village to check out the situation."
"Aren't you and your brother very busy? I can go by myself, just take it during the day!"
"I'm not busy. Li'er's matter is the most important! Besides, we are in another country, your safety is the most important, otherwise I won't be at ease!"
"good!"
…
The next morning, after breakfast.
Yunli and Helian Chi took Tianzhu and set off for Yazi Village.
After arriving at the outskirts of Ancheng, Yunli finally realized how remote and inaccessible Yazi Village, as Tianzhu had mentioned, was. No wonder no doctor was willing to send anyone there...
At this moment, they were in the suburbs, and they had to cross a mass grave about 20 kilometers away and then climb over a mountain to reach the cliff.
In this case, the ten taels of silver that the doctor in Ancheng asked for was actually not a lot. Just because it had to cross the mass grave, many people didn't dare to come!
The mass grave was a place where corpses were scattered everywhere, there were too many wronged souls, and the yin energy was so strong that no one dared to get too close! On weekdays, only those who were ordered to dispose of corpses or those who needed to take a shortcut like them would come here.
I have to say that Tianzhu, a ten-year-old boy, is really brave!
The three of them kept on traveling, and the carriage could only pass through the mass grave and stop at the foot of the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and narrow, so they had to walk.
It was not until the afternoon, before sunset, that the three of them arrived at Yazi Village!
Tianzhu had told me that Yazi Village had very few residents, only about thirty households! Due to its remote location, villagers who had some savings had moved out of this almost isolated village over the years. So, aside from a few elderly people scattered around, there were practically no young or middle-aged people left.
It’s really not easy to come out here, crossing mountains and rivers!
At a glance, there are not many people in the village, so the houses are not densely packed, but the houses are very dilapidated. It is conceivable that the people here live a very hard life!
It was around dinner time, and smoke was already rising from the chimneys of some houses in the village.
Tianzhu stood on the stone and pointed ahead and said to Yunli: "Big brother, sister, my home is under that big camphor tree in front!"
"Okay, take us there!"
Tianzhu nodded and walked to the front to lead the way.
Arriving at Tianzhu's house, the two thatched bungalows were old and poor, but they were clean and tidy. Yunli didn't want to look at the environment of the small house in front of her.
He only let Tianzhu take her to meet his mother and father.
"Sister, mother is in this room, and father is in the next room!"
"Okay, I'll show it to your mother first!"
“Thank you, sister!”
Yunli, led by Tianzhu, entered the inner room. Lying on the bed was a woman in her thirties. Her face was wrinkled and fatigued, perhaps from long hours of labor. However, her figure, spirit, and beautiful appearance still showed her age.
Tianzhu looks like his mother, he looks smart and handsome!
