spring cloud warm

Chapter 280
When it was almost noon, a group of people came to a town called Wukeliu.

Jiang Nuan was not very hungry at this time because he was full from the morning meal.

Mother Sang asked for instructions: "Girl, I don't think there is even a decent restaurant in this area. Besides, it's cloudy today. I'm afraid it's going to rain in a few hours. Why don't you just put a cushion on the car and rush to the front?" I went to stay in Laicheng."

"It's up to you, I'm not hungry anyway. But those drivers and escorts have to be fed. These people eat a lot, so don't starve." Jiang Nuan is not sticky with coquettishness Girl, she is also very sympathetic to servants, because her grandfather's family has always been like this.

This town is really small, with only one main street, which is only a few hundred steps from south to north.

There are a few shops scattered on the street, all with small fronts.There are only two restaurants, one sells soup cakes, and the other sells stone meat cakes with perilla soup.

The tables, chairs and benches inside were all greasy, not to mention that Jiang Nuan couldn't be allowed in, even the women and girls in the family hated it.

So I just asked them to clean the pot and bake dozens of stone cakes.

Jiang Nuan couldn't eat any more after eating only one, and drank another half bowl of perilla soup.

After eating lunch in the car, everyone went on their way.In the second half of the day, it became more and more cloudy that day.

"Mother Sang, you can stay in this car for the rest of the day. I won't be lying down anyway." Jiang Nuan said to Mother Sang when they were about to leave, "Tell Mother Pan and the others to take a nap."

Jiang Nuan got enough sleep in the morning, but at this time she didn't feel sleepy anymore, she opened the car curtain halfway, and looked at the scenery along the road.

"Isn't the city in front of you?" The carriage drove forward for about two hours, and the pendant pointed to the city wall exposed among the trees in the distance and said, "Our old man used to station troops here, right, Mama Sang?" ?”

"Who said it wasn't! Back then I wasn't as old as you." Mama Sang sighed and said, "It's been more than 40 years in a blink of an eye."

"Stop the car, why did I see in a daze that there seemed to be a child lying there on the side of the road just now!" Jiang Nuan just wanted to ask Mama Sang what it was like when her grandfather was stationed in Laicheng.However, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying upside down on the side of the road, and the figure should be that of a child.

Mother Sang heard this, and quickly asked the driver to stop the car.Their car stopped, and the other cars naturally also stopped.

Pan's mother and Dayou's wife didn't know what happened, they got out of the car in a hurry, still a little sleepy.

"Don't panic, it's not a big deal." Ling Dang said with a soft smile, she was the least talkative among these people, Pan's mother and Dayou's wife had always felt that they couldn't understand her.

"Whose child is so pitiful, isn't it dead?" the driver said, looking into the ditch beside the road.

When Zhuizi heard that he might be a dead person, he was so frightened that he stopped Jiang Nuan and told her not to go forward.

"He died somewhere, most likely just fainted from hunger." Sang's mother looked carefully and said, "Whoever of you go down and pick up this child, if he is still alive, you will stutter him, how can you not do good deeds?"

So a coachman really went down, the child was lying there face down, the coachman picked him up, tried it and still breathed.The child's eyes were closed, he was skinny, and his clothes were tattered. He should be a little beggar.

They carried water in the car, and the pendant took water and asked the coachman to feed the child.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

Mother Pan and Dayou's wife had been standing far away, fearing that the child would be infected with the plague.

Although the child was awake, he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Poor thing, I'm really hungry. I need to eat something thin." Mama Sang has experienced famine, and knows that if people are very hungry, they can only eat thin food, otherwise they will die.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Dang came over with a bowl of batter. It turned out that she mixed the fried noodles in the car with water to make it thinner.

When the child saw the food, he didn't care about anything, and drank all the batter in the bowl in one go.

"Slow down, drink another bowl slowly." Seeing him staring at the empty bowl, Sang's mother knew that he wanted to eat again, but she just asked Zhuizi to pour him a bowl of water.

The child was hungry and thirsty, and it was good to see the water, so he drank it all in one gulp.

"How old are you? Where do you live? Why are you so hungry?" Jiang Nuan felt sympathetic when she saw that he was about the same age as her cousin and had a slightly similar appearance.

The child only took one look at Jiang Nuan and didn't dare to look at it again. He lowered his head and said, "Miss Hui, the villain's name is Wei Yu. He is 13 years old this year. He is from Qingfeng Town, because my father likes to gamble and lose money." I got too much, so I paid my mother for the debt. Last winter, my father lost the field and the yard, and he got drunk and froze to death outside. The villain was homeless, so he wanted to go to Looking for my mother, whoever came out and searched for half a year didn't find it."

Jiang Nuan didn't expect that this child was only one year younger than herself, and he was only in his early ten years old.

Presumably, children from poor families are always hungry, which delays their growth.

"Girl, it's going to rain today, let's go into the city quickly, I'm afraid we'll get caught in the rain if it's too late." Mother Pan walked up and smiled and said to Jiang Nuan: "Everywhere in this world There are poor people who are suffering, and we cannot take care of them."

After hearing this, the child only shrank his shoulders down again.He knew early on that the world is hot and cold, and human feelings are cold and warm.Not to mention just meeting by chance, even if they are related to me, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.It is already a great kindness for someone to give yourself a bowl of food, so how dare you expect anything else?
Jiang Nuan looked up at the sky, and it was really overcast.

"Tell him to take the luggage car behind and go into the city together. In this weather, what's the difference between leaving him here alone and killing him?" He was faintly dissatisfied with Pan's mother's words.

"Didn't you hear? Take him to the car behind. Hurry into the city and find a place to stay." Sang's mother said that she had already helped Jiang Nuan to the car.

"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss!" Wei Yu thanked repeatedly, with tears in his eyes.

He was already prepared to starve to death on the side of the road, and he didn't dare to hope that someone would come to rescue him.But this young lady who had never met before, like a bodhisattva, gave him a way out.

His gambler father only believed in luck, and his poor mother believed in Buddhism very piously.

Wei Yu doesn't believe in luck or gods and Buddhas, but at this moment he believes that there are good people in this world, and he will spend his whole life to repay them.

The rain fell when they first entered the city. It was so fast and heavy that it knocked on the hood of the car like drums.

The driver of the car didn't care to take a closer look, and drove the car to an inn. Sang's mother, Bell, and the others held umbrellas, surrounded Jiang Nuan and entered the inn, and everyone came in afterward.
