"Good boy, I don't need money." The doctor squatted in front of her and touched her braid, "Go home and take good care of your brother."
The world is in chaos and there are many poor people.
Life is not easy for any family, and the doctor himself has a few patches on his clothes, but he still gets medicine for free and treats illnesses for free.
Jiang Sheng's eyes blurred while pulling the flat cart.
Much, much later, when someone asked Jiang Sheng why she could still maintain her original intention after so many years of hard work, she tilted her head and smiled.
Maybe it's because along the way, I've met bad people, but I've also met countless gentle, kind-hearted and heart-warming people.
On the road.
Jiang Sheng asked, "Brother, where is your home? I will take you home."
What she was thinking privately was that the ruined temple really couldn't accommodate a third mouth.
Unexpectedly, he was afraid of what would happen. The young boy was silent for a long time and only said one sentence, "I have no home."
Jiang Sheng cried "Wow".
It's not that I feel sympathy or sympathy, but I'm worried about my future food.
Zheng Ruqian was happy from the bottom of his heart, "I don't have a home anymore. My name is Zheng Ruqian, and her name is Jiang Sheng. What about you?"
The young boy's lips moved slightly, "Xu Mo."
Jiang Sheng finally brought Xu Mo back to the ruined temple.
She found the softest mattress, put it on the cleanest straw, and carefully lifted Xu Mo off the flat car with Zheng Ruqian.
After doing all this, Jiang Sheng is going to return the flat car.
"I'll go with you." Zheng Ruqian stuck to her as usual.
But this time Jiang Sheng refused.
"Just stay here and take care of brother Xu Mo." Jiang Sheng, like a little adult, pulled the flat cart back to the entrance of the village in a hurry.
Not long after, she came back disgraced.
Uncle Zhao had a bad temper. There was always a price to pay for stealing other people's things. Being kicked a few times or being kicked to the ground and rolled around a few times was nothing.
Jiang Sheng wiped his face and began to study with interest what to eat for dinner.
Of course it’s boiled green cabbage leaves.
Not long after, Xu Mo was stunned when vegetable leaves wrapped in yellowish water were delivered to him.
"Is this what you're going to eat?" he asked, in disbelief.
Jiang Sheng ate happily, "Yes, there are fresh vegetable leaves."
Zheng Ruqian's expression was rather bitter, but he still swallowed big mouthfuls. It was better to eat something unpleasant than to be hungry.
Xu Mo took a bite.
It doesn't even have the taste of salt, it's just pure water for cooking, which is too bland for livestock, but this little girl eats it so happily.
Xu Mo's heart was sour and astringent.
He looked at the extra bruises on Jiang Sheng's arms and his eyes gradually became firm, "Brother will take you to eat meat from now on."
I thought that when I said these words, I would burst into tears.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sheng didn't even raise his head.
"Don't you want to eat meat?" It was Xu Mo's turn to be curious.
Jiang Sheng swallowed a mouthful of cabbage leaves and took another sip of cabbage leaf soup. "It's hard to live now, but there's no future."
Yes, they have three mouths, so eating is a big problem.
In the past, Jiang Sheng was alone. She could pick up some, steal some, or sleep to avoid hunger.
But Zheng Ruqian couldn't bear to be hungry and would howl when he was hungry. Xu Mo also broke his leg and was unable to move.
Miss Jiang Sheng is really worried to death.
After much thought, Xiao Jiang Sheng decided to beg for food.
"Ah? Begging for food?" Zheng Ruqian was shocked. He couldn't have good food and clothing in Yihongyuan, but he had no worries about food and drink.
I never thought that one day I would kneel down and beg for food.
"No." Xu Mo objected.
He is a self-respecting person. If his parents were alive in heaven and knew that their only son, whom they had fought to save, went to beg for food, they would probably be angry.
"If you don't want food, you'll starve to death." Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips like a little adult, "Are you planning to starve to death?"
Xu Mo fell silent.
Zheng Ruqian glanced at the Buddha's feet and poked Jiang Sheng, "We can use that...that..."
There are two more golden beans hidden.
Jiang Sheng glared at him, "The doctor treats the disease and prescribes medicine. Are you really going to give me no money at all?"
Those two golden beans are intended to be given to the doctor the next time he takes medicine.
Zheng Ruqian shrank from being scolded.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, couldn't help showing admiration. He didn't expect that such a wandering beggar knew how to repay kindness.
In fact, Jiang Sheng really didn't understand. She just felt in her heart that she shouldn't shamelessly take advantage of the doctor's kindness.
Besides, Uncle Zhao hid the flat cart back at home. If he wanted to take Xu Mo to see the doctor in the future, he would have to spend money to rent the flat cart.
"This is all money." Xiao Jiang Sheng said sadly, "Brother Ruqian, I don't blame you for being young, but we want to survive, and there will be many places to use money in the future."
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong." Zheng Ruqian surrendered.
Jiang Sheng finally closed his mouth with satisfaction.
Xu Mo on the side couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. This was the first time he felt a little happy since his family situation suddenly changed.
"I can make money by copying books," he said. "Although a book only costs a few cents, at least I don't have to beg."
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up. She had only seen a few students carrying schoolbags when eavesdropping on Master's lectures. This was the first time she had such close contact with knowledgeable people.
"Brother Xu Mo, have you read?" The little girl knelt down in front of him, "Then can you teach me how to read and write?"
Looking into her shining eyes, Xu Mo nodded.
But then he added, "As long as you don't beg."
Well, as a scholar, you don’t eat what you eat.
Jiang Sheng expressed his understanding.
But how can we eat without begging?
Even if you go to copy books, you still have to pledge two copper coins, and the bookstore owner is afraid that you will run away with the books.
Little Jiang Sheng sighed and finally decided to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms.
The so-called people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water.
Shilipu Town is close to Shili Mountain. Villagers often go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There are also powerful hunters who can hunt prey and sell dead meat and live skins, which are very valuable.
Jiang Sheng didn't dare to think about living things, but it was still okay to pick up some dead things.
Early in the morning, she picked up a broken bamboo bag on her back, found an old piece of clothing whose original color could not be seen, and pulled Zheng Ruqian into the mountain.
"Jiang Sheng, didn't you say there were mushrooms? Why are there nothing?" Zheng Ruqian looked around curiously.
Jiang Sheng's expression did not change, "Everyone has already picked up the ones outside, so we have to go inside to pick them up."
Deep in the mountains, it is quiet and deep.
The towering trees blocked the sunlight and affected the view.
This was Zheng Ruqian's first time in a place like this. He was so frightened that he almost wet his pants when he occasionally caught a glimpse of a long insect with a thick wrist.
Jiang Sheng was also afraid, but in order to feed three mouths and earn the two copper coins used as collateral for copying books, he had to go into this mountain and collect these mushrooms.
