The child kneeling in front of the carriage was wearing tattered clothes, his exposed skin was covered with scars, and his face was dirty, making it impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
"Madam, I will help you get off the sedan chair."
Yuzhu stretched out her hand towards Lixia and said, looking up.
Li Xia nodded, put her hand in Yuzhu's palm, and let her help her get off the carriage.
She stepped closer to the child kneeling on the ground.
The child sensed Li Xia's approach and his body began to tremble.
"Look up." Li Xia looked at the child and spoke as gently as possible.
"Your Excellency..."
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you."
The child swallowed his saliva, knelt down and kowtowed.
Seeing the child's frightened look, Li Xia didn't dare to go any further.
"I'm not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid." She said softly, "I believe you didn't mean it, I won't pursue it."
"real?"
Hearing this, the child looked up at Li Xia.
Different from his dirty image, the child's dark eyes are as bright as stars, so sparkling that people can't take their eyes away.
The child asked in disbelief.
Li Xia nodded, "Yeah."
The child felt Li Xia's kindness. He bit his lip and moved his mouth to say, "Sir, can I ask you for a favor?"
He looked at her with hope in his eyes.
"You little kid..."
"Stand back."
When the servants around Li Xia heard the child making the request, they opened their mouths to scold him.
Hearing this, Li Xia turned to look at the servant and waved her hand, signaling him not to interfere.
The servant bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes."
"What do you want from me?" Li Xia blinked, pulled up her lower lip, and said with her lips moving, "You speak first."
She didn't agree impulsively, nor did she refuse immediately.
"My grandmother is sick, and I don't have the money to see a doctor. Can you help me find a doctor?"
The child bit his lip and spoke carefully.
He didn't hold out much hope, but it was better than making no effort at all.
The nobleman in front of him looked different from the nobles he had seen before.
He really had no other choice.
You can only give it a try with a try-it attitude.
Even if there is little hope, it is better than no hope at all.
The child waited quietly for Li Xia's response.
"So you were in a hurry just now and almost bumped into my carriage. Were you going to the clinic to find a doctor for your grandmother?" Li Xia said.
"Yes." The child nodded. "I went to the clinic and saw a doctor, but the clinic was very busy and the doctor was too busy to see me. Plus, I couldn't afford the high consultation fee, so the doctor told me that he couldn't go out for outpatient consultation."
He told it truthfully.
"Where do you and your grandmother live?"
"The City God Temple in the east."
Li Xia frowned and asked, "How can people live in the City God Temple?"
The child bit his lower lip, lowered his head and remained silent.
Of course he knew that the City God Temple was not suitable for living.
But the master and grandson had nowhere else to go except this place.
"You lead the way, and I'll go with you to see your grandmother."
Li Xia turned her head, looked at Yuzhu and said, "Yuzhu, go to the clinic and ask a doctor to come over."
"yes."
Yuzhu nodded in response.
After a while.
Yuzhu led an old doctor over and said, "Madam, the doctor is here."
She stopped directly in front of Li Xia.
"Okay, the doctor is here. You can start leading the way. Let the doctor take a good look at your grandmother later." Li Xia said with her lips moving.
The child said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, ma'am. Your kindness will be unforgettable to me and my grandmother."
His face was touched.
I really met a noble person by accident today.
The lady in front of him was not only beautiful but also kind. Not only did she hire a doctor for him, she also did not look down on them.
Li Xia and his group were attracting a lot of attention as they walked on the road.
She sat back in the carriage, and after her repeated invitations, the child finally agreed to come up and live with Li Xia.
But after coming up, he seemed more and more restless.
The environment inside the carriage was incompatible with me.
The child couldn't sit or stand.
He was afraid that he was dirty and would dirty the clean and new carriage.
Li Xia said, "It's okay, sit wherever you want, it's okay."
She persuaded softly.
"Ma'am, I'll just stand." The child shook his head. "Sitting makes my head shake and I feel uncomfortable."
He made an excuse.
Li Xia glanced at the child and understood that he had his own ideas.
She didn't force him.
"Okay, then sit down and rest when you're tired of standing." Li Xia said.
"Um."
The child nodded.
"Madam, the road ahead is narrow and the carriage cannot pass through."
"I forgot to tell you, there's a small road ahead and carriages can't pass through. We'll have to trouble you to get off and walk." The child heard the report from outside. He scratched his head and looked at Li Xia embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's good to come down and take a walk."
Li Xia raised the corner of her lips slightly, revealing a smile that made people feel at ease just by looking at it.
"Fuling, Yuzhu and the two of you follow me, the others wait outside."
Because the path is narrow, it can't accommodate too many people.
Li Xia raised her hand and pointed at a few people, asking them to follow her, and told the rest to wait where they were.
"yes."
"good."
Everyone nodded in response.
After Li Xia finished speaking, he let the child lead the way in front, and the others followed behind.
“Cough cough cough…”
