Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang listened, and also remembered what happened on the mountain, "So that's how it is...Thank you for saving me." Defang suddenly paused and thought about it. This woman didn't know her identity, so she said, "Save me."

"Master, why did you fall from the mountain?" Mrs. Zhang was puzzled.

"Hey, I'm from the capital city. I went up to the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Unexpectedly, I encountered bandits and was attacked. I accidentally fell down the mountain." Defang wanted to support her body, but it was very difficult. Zhang quickly stepped forward to help "the Master, you lie down quickly, the doctor said that you are seriously injured and need to rest for a while."

Defang had no choice but to lie down, only to feel pains all over her body. At this time, another child walked in outside the door and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Hey, the meal will be ready soon." Mrs. Zhang looked at Defang, "Master, please lie down first, I'll come as soon as I go."

Mrs. Zhang walked out with her two children. Defang took a look at the room. They were all made of logs, and the gaps were filled with mud. The house was not high, and the roof was covered with straw and wooden slats. If it rained, it would definitely leak. , the whole house is very simple, and Defang is very puzzled, how can this woman live in such a place with her two children.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang came in with a bowl of rice porridge, "My lord, please have some rice porridge."

"Thank you." Defang wanted to take the spoon by herself, but she was very weak. Zhang said, "Let me help you." Zhang fed the spoon little by little, and asked the older child to take out the bowl after eating. Shi asked, "Haven't you asked the master's name?"

"My surname is Zhao," Defang replied, "How can Madam live here?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang stopped making a sound, just said "Master Zhao, please rest" and walked out. Defang was very strange, but it was really difficult to get up, and her whole body hurt when she moved a little or coughed, so she had to lie down for a while I felt dizzy, and fell asleep again in a daze. After another two days, Defang felt better and could barely get up and go to the ground, but needed crutches to walk a few steps. Defang walked outside the house , looked at the sky, it was very clear, and saw a big cloth erected by branches outside the house, with three stones and a quilt under it, Defang suddenly thought, lying in the house these days, the mother and child Where did the three of them rest?Seeing this scene, Defang felt really complicated. He looked at the two children who were lighting a fire next to him and asked, "My child, have you been sleeping here these days?"

The two children got up and nodded, and the older one said, "Master Zhao, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."

"No need, where's your mother?" Defang asked

"I went to the mountain to pick wild vegetables," the child replied

"Wild vegetables?" Defang thought for a while, "Where did the white rice and vegetables I eat these days come from?"

"Mother went to the city to buy it. Mother said that your injury is very serious. Mother spent the last money to buy medicine from the doctor."

Looking at the two thin children, Defang felt very sad and unbearable when she thought of how they took care of her these past few days. She thought that the three of them had never lived with her, and she lived in a simple house, but she gave all her money It was used to save herself, and the three of them were still sleeping outside the house. Defang thought that when she asked Zhang why she lived here, she didn't answer, so they must have encountered something, so she asked, "Children, what are your names? Why do you live here? Where is your father?"

"My name is Liang Peng, my younger brother is Liang Meng, my father died of illness... My house was robbed by bad guys," said the older child
