Lin Ke'er thought of her brothers in the Lin family. In fact, the Lin family also had many talents, capable of both literary and martial arts. However, for some unknown reason, there was only one cousin in the family who worked as a catcher in the Yamen.
Lin Ke'er looked at the cowboy. This little kid must be won over since he was a child. Lin Ke'er smiled like a big bad wolf: "Niu boy, thank you very much for yesterday. Come over here and I'll give you some sweets."
Recently, her mother put a lot of candies in her pocket. She disliked the sweetness, so she put them all in the box. She just went out to take a few pieces, and planned to give them to Ah Ling and Tongtong when she saw them later.
Niu Wa turned around hesitantly, and Lin Keer realized that there was a three-year-old girl behind her. She was thin and small, with a sallow complexion, big eyes, a dark face, and her hair was as messy as straw. She must have been gone for a long time. Reason for cleaning.
Lin Ke'er had a slight mysophobia, but when she saw the little girl's eyes, she was in a trance. The eyes were very familiar, like Bao'er. If you look closely at her facial features, she looks a bit like her younger sister Baoer.
Lin Keer came out of her trance and said with a smile: "Niu baby, is she your sister? Come together, I will give you sweets."
Niu Wa happily pulled the little girl forward and said, "Sister Ke'er, she is not my sister. No, no, she is my sister. She is Aunt Li's daughter from the west. Her name is A Bao. Her parents and brother are both No more, um, I live with my grandma and uncle. His grandpa passed away this year. Her aunt is very powerful. She often doesn’t give her food and beats her. Now she lives alone in a hut by the river. She feels pity for the villagers. I don’t even play with her and say she is my nemesis, but I don’t think she is.”
Lin Keer fell into memories, Abao, isn't the west end of the village the land of the Liao family? There is a little girl named A Bao in the Liao family? If he had grown up, he would have known her, but she seemed to have no memory at all.
A Bao timidly said: "Sister, A Bao is not a nemesis. A Bao's father and brother have both gone to serve. My mother has died of illness. Grandpa and grandma have also died of illness. My eldest aunt dislikes that A Bao cannot work and eat." A lot, so I kicked A Bao out. A Bao is very good, knows how to work, and eats very little."
Lin Ke'er thought thoughtfully. Serving in the army means being drafted into the army. Doesn't serving in a family only produce one adult male? If you don’t want to go, you can still pay for a spot.
Lin Keer looked at A Bao lovingly and nodded: "A Bao, do you have a name? What's your name?"
Niu Wa rushed to get it: "Sister Ke'er, her name is He Xing'er. They are outsiders. The only family in the village is He. Abao's father and brother did go to serve. Her brother went to serve in place of her cousin He Tianming. , this is what my grandma said."
Lin Ke'er nodded in understanding, fearing that he was being plotted by his family or being morally kidnapped. He Xinger, is this fate? The sister in that life had the same surname as her adoptive father, He, and her name was Xing'er. Lin Ke'er touched A Bao's head with trembling hands and touched the withered and knotted hair like straw. She was also stunned. After time travel, This was the first time she had touched another child except Bao'er.
For some reason, she felt that A Bao was very kind. Lin Keer saw the familiar faces of Xing'er and Bao'er in a trance. Is A's sister really you? Did you come to see my sister? Regardless of whether it was true or not, she was paranoid about it.
Lin Ke'er took Ah Bao's hand and said, "Ah Bao, Niu Wa, you haven't had lunch yet. Sister will wash you, change Ah Bao's clothes, and then cook delicious food for you. That's great." .”
A Bao nodded confusedly: "Sister, can you take me in? A Bao eats very little. My eldest aunt doesn't want A Bao anymore. A Bao has no home."
Lin Keer's heart suddenly started to ache, and she nodded: "Well, A Bao will follow Sister A from now on. Sister A will not abandon A Bao."
Lin Ke'er took out a few candies from her arms and gave them to the two little ones. She took them to the Lin family kitchen, poured hot water from the pot, poured it into the cold water, washed Niu Wa's face and hands, and brought them to the kitchen. I soaked up the water and went to the bathroom. Then I went back to the house and rummaged through the cabinets. I found some clothes from my childhood, picked one and took it to the bathroom.
"Niu Wa, you wait here while I give A Bao a bath."
"Well, sister Ke'er, go quickly, I'll keep an eye on you." After saying that, Niuwa moved a small stool and sat under the eaves, eating sweets obediently.
Lin Ke'er looked at the little ghost Danniuwa in a funny way, shook her head and pulled Bao'er into the bathroom, taking off Bao'er's clothes. Lin Ke'er was shocked by the old and new injuries all over his body.
"Bao'er, does it hurt? This was all done by your aunt?"
Abao blinked his eyes and said anxiously: "Sister, isn't Abao very ugly? There are many scars on his body, but Abao doesn't hurt."
Lin Keer gently washed Ah Bao's face and comforted her: "No, Ah Bao is not ugly. Does Ah Bao care about these scars? Then Sister will give you medicine, and these scars will slowly disappear after applying the medicine."
A Bao shook his head: "Well, A Bao doesn't care. Some of them were caused by the eldest aunt who disliked A Bao for not being able to do the job well. The eldest aunt hit her because A Bao was too stupid. Some of the injuries were caused by A Bao himself while working, and some were caused by A Bao. Brother and sister beat me."
Lin Keer couldn't suppress the anger in her heart when she heard this, but she didn't want to scare A Bao, so she took a deep breath and then another deep breath: "A Bao, you are only three years old, why do they still let you work?"
A Bao shook his head: "A Bao is six years old this year."
Lin Ke'er's eyes widened in shock. How could a six-year-old be like a three or four-year-old child? Lin Ke'er reached out to touch A Bao's bones and felt for his pulse. The anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
Malnutrition, abnormal growth, declining digestive system, and poor immunity. Now he has contracted cold and his organs have been damaged. If this continues, this child will not survive more than two years. Thinking of this, her heart ached again.
A picture came to mind. The villagers found the body of a girl in a hay hut by the river. It was said that she had been abused for a long time before she was alive and died in the hay hut due to the cold. That girl should be A Bao. No wonder she often had contact with people in the village after her marriage, but she didn't know a girl named A Bao (He Xing'er).
Lin Ke'er looked at Abao with distress, and carefully washed her hair and bathed her. It took two buckets of water to wash the little person clean. The old and new wounds, big and small, were exposed on the little person's body. On the fair skin, it was shocking.
She looked away and quietly put on Ah Bao's clothes, then looked at Ah Bao carefully. Tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes. Ah Bao looked so much like Xing'er in her previous life and Bao'er in this life. There were tear moles under her eyebrows. , all the same. It’s just that Abao is too thin.
Lin Keer held Abao in her arms and couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Feeling Lin Keer's emotions, Abao was at a loss.
She had just given A Bao a bath and felt something was wrong. She was only looking at the injuries on her body. Now when she touched her, she discovered that the child was only skin and bones. The He family is not human anymore.
"Abao and sister will take you to apply medicine. We will eat noodles together for a while. Abao cannot eat hard food for the time being because Abao has not eaten enough for a long time and his intestines and stomach are very weak. I don't know how to explain it, but Abao Sister promises that our baby will grow up healthy and well-fed and clothed in the future. You can trust me, sister."
