Raiders of the Empress: My Empress is Too Small

Chapter 1918 You don't know hardships when you are young, but you don't know the hardships of life

Li Xuan felt retched and uncomfortable, "Why does he still eat the steamed buns when they are dirty?" said in a low voice, and the old woman laughed, "Don't say it is dirty or hard, even if it is rotten and smelly, you still have to eat it. .For people like us, it would be nice to have a bite to eat, so what else is there to do?"

Li Xuan watched blankly as the young beggar ate the dirty and yellow steamed bun.Several people around were staring at the boy's steamed buns, extremely hungry, as if they were watching someone eat some delicious food.

Seeing that she was pitiful, the old woman said a lot to her, "You'd better go find a place to beg tomorrow. You have no one to take care of your little arms and legs. I'm afraid you won't be able to survive. A few days ago I heard Several acquaintances said that the daughter of Axiang’s family is also your age, and she is about to starve to death.”

"Starved to death?" Li Xuan was startled, and sat up straight.

"That's not right!" The limping uncle next to him nodded, "Everyone thinks it's bad luck, and they are afraid that her daughter's cough will be contagious, so she was kicked out of the corner shed, and she must have returned by now."

Li Xuan stood up in a strange way, and ran to the place they said in one breath, and he saw a woman in rags and smelly clothes holding a child in her arms, about the same age as her, skinny, coughing repeatedly, even coughing loudly. They were all like kittens, weak and weak.

The woman hugged her daughter tightly with red eyes, her eyes were red, and her voice was full of grief and indignation, "My poor child, let's go, and you won't have to suffer if you leave. Blame mother is incompetent, blame mother is not good, you will be born in the next life... If a wealthy family has food and drink, they don’t have to suffer.”

As she spoke with tears streaming down her face, she pressed her face against the child's face, her back hurting immensely.Li Xuan was young and didn't understand much, but seeing the red eyes, he couldn't help it.

Walking slowly over to look at the woman in her arms, he said, "What's wrong with her?"

The woman raised her head and pulled the torn cloth for her, "She is going to die!"

"Then take her to see the imperial physician!" Li Xuan was a little anxious, the queen mother said that if she was sick, she should see the doctor to drink medicine quickly, otherwise she would die.

The woman seemed a little desperate and numb, "Don't look at it, where can I get money to see a doctor for her? Let her go, go, and don't have to suffer anymore after she goes."

Li Xuan was half-knowledgeable, tilted his head and looked at them, and the woman looked at her, "Are you a new little beggar? What a miserable life! The same fate as my daughter!"

"What is a little beggar?" Li Xuan asked, and the woman smiled, "It is the most humble and pitiful existence that is not as good as a dog's life."

Li Xuan half understood what he heard, so he didn't speak any more.After sitting for a while, I reached out to touch the child's face, "Why doesn't she cough or cry?"

"She's asleep, so I don't have to live a hard life in the future!" The woman probed her daughter's breath, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, but tears flowed down, "Good death! Good death! Open your eyes when you reincarnate in the next life, Don't go into Mother's arms to suffer. Hahaha" weeping and laughing at the same time.

Li Xuan was frightened, took a few steps back again and again, fell down in embarrassment, got up and ran inside.

Running to the entrance of the ruined temple, panting heavily, recalling what the woman said.

"Could it be that she is crazy? How can she be better if she dies?"

If you don't know hardships when you are young, how can you know the suffering of life?
But this scene deeply shocked Li Xuan. Li Xuan sat at the door, staring blankly at the moonlight shining on everything around him.I don't know when I fell asleep.When someone shook her, she woke up with her eyes open, and immediately sat up in shock.
