"Yueyue, has Xiao Lu gotten married?" After the two left, Mr. Zhuang asked quietly.
Li Xiyue smiled and shook her head, "No."
Mr. Zhuang was overjoyed. "Is it really fate?"
"It must be." Li Xiyue covered her mouth and laughed.
Mr. Zhuang was very satisfied with Lu Feng. If... then he could rest assured even if he closed his eyes.
Li Xiyue took out the refined pills and said, "Master uncle, you should take three pills of this medicine every day."
"I heard from the girl that you were making medicine for me. Yueyue, thank you. My illness..." Old Zhuang shook his head and had no hope.
His death is nearing, how can medicine cure him?
Li Xiyue advised: "Master, why don't you give it a try? Maybe it will work?"
Mr. Zhuang didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he took the medicine and thought, "It's better to give it a try than not to have it."
Next door, Lu Feng and Zhuang Le sat in the yard, drinking and watching the moon.
The cold wind was howling. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Lu Feng took off his coat and put it on her. "It's cold, don't catch a cold. How about we go back to the house and have a drink?"
"It's stuffy inside, it's better to be comfortable outside." Zhuang Le shook his head and took off his coat. "I'm fine, I'm not afraid of the cold, you should wear it."
Lu Feng put on his coat, went back to the house and got a blanket, "Then put this on."
Zhuang Le didn't refuse again. He took a sip of his wine and sighed, "At first, when the old man said he wanted to come to the capital, I was quite reluctant. I felt very resistant to the people here. But after coming here, I met a lot of nice people. I think the capital is quite interesting."
"Have you and Doctor Zhuang been doing well these years?" Lu Feng asked, looking at her profile.
Zhuang Le took a sip of wine and smiled bitterly, "More than ten years ago, I followed the old man and wandered around, living in a place without a fixed address, eating wind and sleeping in the open air.
After we were in our teens, we went to Yunnan Province and settled down there. We treated patients and managed to make a living.
But in recent years, with the elimination of the "Four Olds", we dared not even mention using witchcraft, let alone mentioning it. We dared not use witchcraft and could only use traditional Chinese medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine was suppressed. We had no power and it was difficult for us to survive.
During the most difficult time, the old man and I hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice for three days. We had no other choice but to go to the black market…”
When she first went to the black market, she was really scared and her voice was shaking, but in order to keep herself and the old man alive, she mustered up her courage, gritted her teeth, and had to continue on this dangerous road.
Lu Feng felt distressed and sad. He had experienced what she said and could empathize with her.
“When times get tough, I resent my parents for abandoning me.
"Brother Lu, I don't understand. Your family abandoned you because you were seriously ill, but I'm healthy, so why don't they want me either? Is it just because I'm a girl?"
How could they be so cruel? If I hadn't met you, the old man, I would have frozen to death that winter.
I am their child, and they hate me so much? Do they wish I were dead?"
Her brows were full of sadness, tears were sparkling in her eyes, and she was surrounded by loneliness and solitude.
Lu Feng felt very sorry for her, "Miss Zhuang..."
"If they don't like me, why did they give birth to me?" Zhuang Le turned her head to look at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Is it because I was a naughty kid that they don't want me?"
Lu Feng's heart ached, and he shook his head, "No, no..."
"Brother Lu, do you know? The old man is sick and doesn't have much time left. I'm so scared. I'm afraid he'll leave me. I don't want him to go. I don't want to be alone. Why, why does everyone want to abandon me?"
Zhuang Le took a big gulp of wine, and tears went down his throat along with the wine. It was so bitter.
She cried even harder. "I also want to be like other children, with the love of my parents, a home, and brothers and sisters. But except for the old man, I have nothing. I don't know what I did wrong? Why do they treat me like this..."
Lu Feng coaxed softly: "You didn't do anything wrong, it's not you who is wrong."
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry. You saved me before, but I repaid you with evil. Am I a bad person? You must hate me very much, right?" Zhuang Le asked anxiously while crying.
She clearly said that she found him to repay him, but she left such a bad impression. She was really afraid that Lu Feng would hate her and dislike her.
Lu Feng shook his head. "No, you're not bad. You've just suffered too much and don't trust people easily. I don't hate you either."
At first, he just thought she was a little willful and capricious, and didn't hate her that much. Now that he knew her identity, he didn't hate her anymore, and only felt pity for her.
"Why are you so nice? You being so nice makes me look even worse, wuwu..."
Zhuang Le cried until he fell asleep on the table.
Lu Feng covered her with a blanket, looked up at the full moon in the night sky, and secretly vowed that he would never let her suffer again.
Li Xiyue came over after cleaning the kitchen. "Brother Lu, where is Sister Lele?"
Lu Feng explained, "She got drunk, cried, and fell asleep."
"Brother Lu, if Sister Lele has offended you before, I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you don't blame her." Li Xiyue sat down next to them and said.
Zhuang Le has suffered a lot, and the thorns and sharp edges on her body are just disguises to protect herself.
"No need to apologize, I really don't blame her."
"Brother Lu, I have helped Sister Lele find her family." Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Lu Feng's expression changed. "Then, will his family recognize her? If not, will she be hurt again?"
It would be cruel to give her hope and then disappoint her.
"In fact, Sister Lele's family didn't know she was abandoned."
What?
Lu Feng was extremely surprised.
"Soon, I will help Sister Lele go home and reunite with her family." Li Xiyue looked at the moon and smiled.
After all, there are differences between men and women, and in the end it was Li Xiyue who carried Zhuang Le home.
After falling asleep, Zhuang Le was still sobbing. Old Zhuang gently covered her with a blanket, feeling distressed, "This girl, ah..."
Li Xiyue told Mr. Zhuang about how she helped Zhuang Le find his family. When Mr. Zhuang heard about the situation, he was happy at first, but then he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep the whole night.
He even despised himself in his heart. He had been looking forward to this day, but when it came, he began to feel reluctant.
People are so contradictory.
