Lan Tingche felt he wouldn't make it through the night. The tremors beneath him forced him to open his eyes and see who was trying to torture him before he died.
The sunlight stung his eyes, making them water. In front of him, pulling a rope, was a tiny person, who seemed quite young, whose little mouth kept chattering incessantly.
"Really, little sister, you did a great job with the trailer, otherwise our carriage would have gotten dirty."
“I think so too,” Dani nodded.
"You two really have to come with me? The carriage can follow slowly behind me. It would make us three look a bit silly not to take the carriage," Huo Xiaolong said to his two girlfriends who were walking with him.
Hou Xiangxiang shook her head, reached out and grabbed the rope behind Huo Xiaolong to help her pull. She whispered in Huo Xiaolong's ear...
Why didn't you ask Master Miao to help you pull it?
Da Nier stepped forward and wrapped the rope around her hand; the three children whispered among themselves.
Xiaotuanzi Road
"No, Master Miao, stop him! He'll meet the King of Hell before he even gets home. That would be a waste of all the medicine I gave him."
There was a sound from the cart behind him. The little dumpling turned around and said to him...
"You're awake?"
She seems to be a page of Guanyin, a fairy? Can she become a deity after death? If possible, could he see his mother again?
The little dumpling responded silently. Upon closer inspection, the little beggar had fainted again. Huo Xiaolong quickened his pace and hurried home.
"Is Grandpa Gu at your house today?" Huo Xiaolong asked Hou Xiangxiang.
"Yeah, he came to test my medical knowledge today. I can only come out and play with you guys after I've memorized it."
Miao Cuifang sat in the back driving the cart, thinking, "It's good to be a rich kid. They can just pick up people at home. I remember last time my sister went out and picked up someone. She was chased and scolded by her mother-in-law for half a year because that person ate free meals every day. In the end, it seems that this matter caused quite a stir in the underworld."
What did I say?
Oh, they say that in their Miao region, they used a love potion on the person they picked up, hoping to get something in return for their kindness.
That's utter nonsense! He clearly ran away when he was giving the money for the medicine, then accidentally went into the miasma forest and never came out again!
Cen Ang and He Yi smiled and looked at Huo Xiaolong, who had an innocent look on his face, and nodded. Okay, at least this is a person. There's only one this time, which is within the control of the two mothers.
"Long'er, why have you picked up someone again?" Mother Cen asked.
"Mom, but he's about to die."
"Didn't your mother tell you last time? If it's a bad person..."
"Then revive them and then kill them!"
Children always have their own reasons; extending a helping hand to someone who is dying is an act of kindness.
If she saved him but found he had ill intentions, she would kill him with a single blow; that was her ruthlessness.
Huo Xiaolong felt that he now had the ability to kill him, and his two mothers took a deep breath and nodded.
Okay. As long as the kids are happy, that's all that matters. Even if they cause trouble, there are still the two of them.
"Long'er, that little beggar is incredibly handsome!" Da Ni'er ran over and said to Huo Xiaolong.
After the group took him back to the red-light district, Doctor Gu threw the little beggar into the Thousand Red Fruit Water to soak. After the boy cleaned him up, a pretty little face appeared, which stunned Da Ni'er and Hou Xiangxiang, who were watching from the side.
"Oh my, he's so handsome! Even more handsome than Sister Mantuo's husband!" Hou Xiangxiang said.
The young girl had seen countless handsome men at the brothel, but she was still taken aback today. She patted Da Ni'er, who was equally stunned, and said to her...
"Go tell Long'er quickly, let's watch it together!"
Huo Xiaolong followed Da Nier into the room. Although it wasn't appropriate to watch someone bathe, at least they couldn't see anything except their face. The little boy was resting nearby, exhausted. Seeing how clean the beggar had become, the little dumpling casually pulled a Thousand Red Fruit from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. Please have some fruit."
The medicine boy waved his hand and said
"It's all I should do, thank you, Miss Huo."
He didn't even look at what was being handed to him before opening his mouth and eating it. He bit off half of the fruit and found it quite delicious. The young apprentice looked down at it.
My mouth! Does it even deserve to eat Thousand Red Fruit?!
"Miss Huo, you, you..."
You can't just give me Thousand Red Fruits directly.
The little dumpling stared intently at the little beggar's profile and said to him...
"If we don't eat now, Grandpa Gu will find out!"
Good, good, let's eat, let's eat, let's make this life worthwhile. How many great doctors in this world have ever seen the Thousand Red Fruit? I am one of them, though I am not very talented.
"Long'er, Dani'er, Xiangxiang, it's time to eat."
Mother Cen pushed open the door, intending to call the three children out for dinner. She had caught quite a few river shrimp, which Old Zhang had fried for the three of them.
The three little ones turned around and stood up, revealing the little beggar who had been hidden. Cen Ang had his hand on Huo Xiaolong, but as soon as he turned around, he turned back and tears fell down his face.
"mom?"
Seeing Cen's mother cry, Huo Xiaolong was extremely anxious. The little dumpling grabbed Cen Ang's hand and called out.
"Da Ni'er and Xiang Xiang go eat first. Aunt Cen has something to say to Long'er."
"good."
With a creak, the door closed. Cen Ang squatted down and looked at Huo Xiaolong without saying a word, just kept crying, and the little dumpling's eyes also turned a little red.
"What's wrong, Mom? Please stop crying. Tell me what I did wrong."
The woman touched Huo Xiaolong's face twice, tucked her messy hair behind her ear, and then pulled her into her arms.
"Mom is so lucky, really, you are God's precious gift to me."
"Mom, can you please stop crying?"
The woman nodded.
"Okay, Mom won't cry anymore. Go call Ah Cai and your Aunt Hua over. I'll tell you what happened when I'm done."
Huo Xiaolong nodded.
"Okay, I'm going, Mom. Don't cry."
The setting sun is blood red, and it's about to disappear into the foot of the mountain. Crown Princess, do you think this is fate?
The woman touched the top of the child's head twice in the bathtub and whispered...
"Don't be afraid, your little sister is taking you home."
