After eating and walking around with the little orb, Hoda bought some food and a few taels of wine and returned to the inn.
Despite the continuous rainy weather, I still huddled in my room, eating and drinking comfortably.
Hoda took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and after two ounces of wine, he became a little chatty.
"What you did today was wrong."
Hoda shook his head, feeling quite emotional.
Little Baozhu raised his head and looked at him curiously.
"You can save her for a while, but you can't save her forever. She and her children will still suffer, so just leave it alone."
Xiao Baozhu didn't think so, "Grandpa Zeng said that when you meet your destiny, you should do your best. As for the future results, you don't need to think too much. Thinking too much is... a burden."
She finally remembered the word.
burden?
Hoda chuckled.
What is encumbrance?
Probably the same person who used to beg for food from his parents.
"Come on, come here." Hoda waved and motioned for Little Baozhu to come forward.
Under the influence of alcohol, he talked more.
"It's not easy for people to live in this world. Sometimes you need to be a little selfish."
"You don't have to worry about finding other people's way of survival. Just find your own way of survival."
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Xiaobaozhu nodded.
She's not stupid, of course she can understand.
Hoda smiled and waved her hand to let her go back and play by herself.
Being able to say these words to Xiao Baozhu can be regarded as one of his few kindnesses.
If you want to throw the little orb here, you don't have to think about it. Even if she survives, she will live the life of a beggar.
He was just telling her how to survive when alone.
In this way, her death would be two days later, and her conscience would feel better.
Hoda suddenly laughed again.
conscience?
How could I suddenly think of such a thing as conscience? Didn't it already exist long ago?
After eating and drinking enough, Hoda lay down on the bed and fell asleep drunkenly.
After washing up, Little Baozhu sensibly climbed up to the end of the bed, hugged the quilt, and fell asleep.
Along the way, it was Huo Da who woke up Little Baozhu in the morning.
But this time, it was three o'clock in the morning and Huo Da didn't wake up.
Little Baozhu was a little hungry. She shook Hoda and said, "Uncle, I'm hungry."
After shaking several times, Hoda didn't move.
With great difficulty, I heard him hum and slowly opened half of his eyelids.
"I...what's going on...cough, cough, cough!"
Last night he felt something was wrong with him. He was sometimes cold and sometimes hot.
I was sweating profusely, but suddenly I was shivering with cold.
"Uncle, are you sick?"
Xiao Baozhu looked at him with concern.
sick?
Hoda laughed at himself, saying that people really become more delicate when they have money.
When he was living a hard life in the past, when did he become so delicate?
"I'll go get a doctor for you." She patted her bulging purse, "I have money."
"Why--"
Hoda originally wanted her not to go. She was too young. What if she got lost.
But then he thought again, he was going to lose her too.
If it was really lost, it would only mean that she was destined to be like this.
He touched his forehead and it was hot.
In his memory, when he had not had such a severe fever, even if he was begging for food on the streets before, with no food and no place to sleep, he had never been so sick.
Is this his own retribution?
He taught Xiao Baozhu not to be a good person, so retribution is coming?
Hoda was thinking wildly and his head was dizzy.
I don't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that it was a mess outside.
It's really a mess outside.
When Xiao Baozhu went downstairs, he saw people running away.
The owner of the restaurant has already packed his bags with his whole family and is leaving.
"What happened?" Little Baozhu asked.
"You don't know yet?" the restaurant owner said hurriedly, "A fight is about to start. If we don't leave, it will be too late. Little girl, go back and tell your father to leave quickly. We can't stay here anymore!"
After saying that, he led his family away.
Little Baozhu came to the street.
The streets that used to be bustling are now particularly deserted.
These people living on the border have an extraordinary ability to sense. If a war breaks out, they can always predict it in advance and then run away quickly to find a safe place.
People who cannot leave for special reasons will also hide.
There were almost only beggars left on the streets.
Huo Yingwei and Huo Shengyao watched from a distance, and they saw the little treasure at a glance.
"Why did he let her come out on her own?" Huo Shengyao frowned, "Dad, why don't we just take the orb back? Isn't there going to be a war?"
"We can't fight," Huo Yingwei said.
He knows better than anyone else that the enemy country is just testing this time and cannot fight, so there should be no real danger.
However, how could that person let Little Orb come out on his own?
They haven't found Le Fan yet, so they can't act rashly.
Besides, with him following you in the dark, there should be no problem.
Xiao Baozhu walked all the way and searched, and finally found a medical clinic that had not had time to close.
The doctor in the hospital was very surprised when he saw her.
"Little girl, why do your adults let you here alone? Go back quickly! It's dangerous!"
"Uncle." Xiao Baozhu grasped a life-saving straw, "Can you please save my uncle? My uncle is sick. If no one looks after him, he will die."
She had already visited two medical clinics just now, but either there was no one available or they refused to go with her to see a doctor.
Now that she has finally found a family, she refuses to give up easily.
"I -" The old man was about to refuse when he saw tears streaming from Xiao Baozhu's eyes.
She held her bulging purse in front of the doctor and said, "I'll give you all the money. You go and see my uncle, okay?"
Her big black and white eyes are far more impressive than money.
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "Take the money back. It's fate to meet you at this time. I'll go and take a look first."
After that, he carried the medical kit and followed Xiao Baozhu.
When Xiao Baozhu rushed back, Hoda felt that he was about to die.
This feeling of hot and cold was almost making him peel off his skin.
The doctor motioned for him to raise his wrist, put his hand on it, and immediately frowned.
"Uncle, is it serious?" Xiao Baozhu asked worriedly.
"I can't tell." The doctor said.
Hoda clicked his tongue, "What do you mean by saying it's not good? If it can be cured, then treat it. If it can't be cured, just say it can't be cured."
"I really can't tell." The doctor spread his hands, "Your disease..."
His illness is not the first case here.
Anyone who suffers from this disease experiences hot and cold spells, fever, coldness, and sweating all over the body.
But no one knows what the cause is.
Some people say that this strange disease came from the enemy country. The enemy country specially found sick people and infected them so that they would all get sick.
