Chapter 771 (1/2)
”Master, the herbs in the house are running out.”
Smelling the speech, Mr. Xing went to have a look and found that there was really only a little left.
”Why don't you go and look for it with me? Go farther today.”
”OK.”
He told the others to stay at home and not go out. Old Xing took his big apprentice out with a basket on his back.
They are going over this mountain to the other side.
There are wild animals over there. It's dangerous to go there at night.
But old Xing is very good. He'll be fine if he comes over at night.
I went early today, so I asked the big apprentice to go with me.
The two climbed over a mountain and slowly looked for the herbs they needed.
Old Xing knows a lot about herbal medicine, and his disciples want to learn this with him.
However, Mr. Xing only knows a little and won't see a doctor. In order to avoid harming people's children, he only taught his disciples to identify some simple herbs.
The master and apprentice went all the way to find him.
”Master, did you hear anything?” the big disciple suddenly asked.
Master stopped, listened for a while, and suddenly walked aside.
The apprentice hurriedly followed.
Then I saw a little girl squatting on the ground, holding leaves in her hand and stuffing them into her mouth.
It should be difficult for her to swallow when she cries while stuffing. It's hard for her to swallow.
The little girl is very thin and weak. She looks a little malnourished.
The master went over, took out a small bag of biscuits from his pocket and handed it to the little girl, ”children, why are you here alone?”
The little girl was frightened. She shrunk and looked at the biscuits. She didn't dare to take them.
”Eat, it's delicious.” old Xing continued softly.
Seeing the little girl pick it up, he asked, ”where are mom and dad?”
As soon as he said this, the little girl's red eyes burst into tears again.
”Mom and Dad don't want Yanyan.” she wiped her eyes with her dirty hands, was held by old Xing, and gently wiped her tears with her little handkerchief.
The big apprentice squatted down immediately. The little girl is very cute, but she is too thin. It hurts to look at it.
He touched the little girl's soft hand and the little girl looked at it.
”Will the children go home with us? We have many children at home who can play with you.”
The little girl was silent for a moment and nodded.
She has been left here for two days, and there are many sounds of wild animals. She is very afraid.
Old Xing touched her little head, ”good boy.”
He picked up the little girl, a little child, almost no weight, light and frightening.
He didn't find all the herbs, and he was not ready to continue looking. He took the little girl and took the big apprentice home.
Along the way, the little girl looked left and right, and whispered, ”will uncle throw Yanyan away?”
Hearing this sentence, old Xing felt inexplicably worried.
”I won't throw you away.”
”Then... Will that uncle hit me?”
”Can't fight, will treat you well, and won't let people bully you, okay?”
The little girl looked at him for a while, suddenly hugged his neck and said in a small voice, ”OK.”
After a while, she whispered again, ”thank you, uncle.”
Old Xing painfully touched the little girl's little head.
