Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 137
"Come on, let's eat."

The pastry was brought to the lips.

Maybe it was moved by Xiaoying, or maybe it was really hungry, the little girl opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue and lightly licked the red date pastry on her mouth.

A rich but not intense sweetness emerges, that sweetness rippling on the tip of the tongue, as if there are thousands of flowers blooming together, as if they want to melt the apex of people's hearts together, the strong and rich breath carries a refreshing fragrance , mouth fluid.

Small cakes, color, aroma and taste are all available.

The little girl's eyes widened a little, this pastry was more delicious and attractive than all the candies she had eaten before.

"Eat quickly, don't be reluctant, there are plenty of sisters here!"

Rubbing the little girl's messy hair, Xiaoying said again: "After you finish eating, my sister will take you to take a bath! Then I will change you into beautiful clothes and comb your hair."

The little girl didn't know if she heard it, but she had already taken the pastry, first chewed it a few times, and then started to gobble it up.

Xun Ke brought over the tea, poured a cup of still steaming water and put it in front of her. Looking at the hungry little girl with a sallow face and thin skin, he said distressedly, "Eat slowly, there is more."

Seeing his playmate eating so happily, Cang, who was unbound, stretched out his hand and wanted to take a piece from the plate to eat together.

As a result, his little hand stretched in mid-air had not had time to touch the plate before he was slapped down.

"You look fat, you can't wait to eat five meals a day, still eat? Go and wash your hands for me first, if you can't wash them clean, you are not allowed to eat dinner at night!"

Xiaoying stared at Cang, and said fiercely.

Cang was very dissatisfied, and muttered: "Nannan didn't wash her hands!"

"Um?!"

Xiaoying raised her eyebrows and clenched her hands into fists.

The little guy spread his legs and started running.

Xiaoying gave Xun Ke another wink, and pointed to the clothes on the little girl.

Xun Ke understood, nodded and walked out of the room silently.

the other side.

Aunt Li who came to the room stood awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Master Gu, I came here to apologize to you. My daughter is so ignorant that she even burned the book. There is really nothing valuable at home now. The things are gone, when I take my daughter back to my hometown, I will definitely send you some books."

Gu Dan helped Aunt Li to the seat beside her, and asked, "Aunt Li, you don't have to be so polite, it's obvious that you are ignorant, what does it have to do with you? You don't have to blame yourself, the little guy just needs to be cleaned up.

We are all old neighbors for more than ten years.That boy Xun Ke often goes to your place to buy meat buns to eat. We have also tasted your cooking, and it is quite good.What is the difficulty now, you might as well talk about it? "

Aunt Li covered her face, a little afraid to look at Gu Dan.

This neighbor in the neighborhood is not afraid of suffering a little loss, but afraid of losing face.

As the saying goes, helping the emergency is not helping the poor. She is very clear about the situation of her own family. If she wants to ask someone for help, she is really not going to pay it back.

She has never been sorry to anyone in her life, and she really can't open that mouth.

At that moment, Aunt Li said in a low voice: "My child, I told him that there is a war outside, so don't go out to run a business anymore. But he just didn't listen, insisted on going, and even borrowed a large amount of debt, saying yes I found a group of Jianghu masters, and nothing will happen, so I can't go this time.

In the end, there were still bandits on the road, and none of the group came back.”

As she spoke, Aunt Li began to cry, and exceptionally clear tears fell from her dim yellow eyes, her emaciated face was already yellow with some black cheeks washed by the water, but it was a little fairer. .

"Zhan Luan still went to business?"

Gu Dan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Since the imperial court had to fight on three fronts, the impact has been in all aspects, the most obvious being the collapse of the world.

It is much more difficult to travel around now than it was before the war.

It is said that in Yuzhou, if you walk ten miles, you are lucky if you don't meet a few people who rob houses!
If you want to run a business in this season, you must not only have money, but also have enough manpower to deal with external dangers.

But he remembered that Aunt Li's family's wealth was not small, even if they gave up some money and didn't earn it, they could still live well, so why risk death to do such a thing?
He died too greedy, leaving behind an old mother and a young child, and owed a large amount of debt. What is he trying to do?
"It's okay if he doesn't go."

Qin Lisheng came in from the door, and said coldly: "Now the treasury is out of money, and the tax is greatly reduced. The more you collect, the more you will be short. What can we do?"

There was a sardonic smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know whether he was mocking the temple or the damn world, and continued: "Then we can only think of other ways to get some money. I have already collected the crime money, those All the officials are also very distressed. If you don’t fish down, who can you ask to make it up?

Those who had surplus money in business before had been targeted long ago.Either go to a business by yourself to do big business, or go into prison and reflect on yourself, want to stay at home and enjoy the blessings?What about the old man? "

The small courtyard of the Gu family is calm, but that doesn't mean it can be the same outside.

All along, Qin Lisheng is the person who pays most attention to outside affairs in the courtyard.

He couldn't understand why Aunt Li's family had such a change.

It's nothing more than being poor at the top, so the pockets must naturally be tightened. This kind of thing can be said to be everywhere in Aunt Li's family now. Why is their background not deep enough, and they have some strength but not much?

Butchering pigs, they are all killed in batches, where is the need to control whether the pigs are happy or not?My lord is happy!

When a big man opens his mouth, it is only a matter of one sentence to destroy the family.

This kind of misery falls on every family, and it may make people feel sad, but when the whole world is similar, it doesn't seem to matter.

Aunt Li silently wiped her tears and said nothing.

The originally wealthy family was torn apart overnight, even the slightly valuable items in the house were removed, not even a better piece of clothing was left behind.

Of course, the most valuable house must also be handed over, but the gentlemen are kind-hearted, and they don't force people to death. They will come back after ten days and a half months. The main thing is benevolence and righteousness.

These things were originally their own affairs, and it was not easy to complain to anyone.

Hearing Cang's heart-piercing cry, he finally felt that he should come over and apologize.

If Nannan hadn't said that she was cold, the child wouldn't have been beaten.

Gu Dan glared at Qin Lisheng, motioned him not to bring up such things at this time, and asked again: "What do you plan to do when you grow old?"

Just looking at the clothes she was wearing, she could understand that the house might have lost all valuables. It has just snowed this winter, and if no one helped her, she might be frozen to death.

"I have already contacted people in the clan, and someone will come to pick us up today."

Aunt Li forced a smile, and said with a forced smile: "In the past, there was no way you couldn't survive, just endure it for a few days. We also lived a hard life before, and life is better than anything else.

Master Gu, we know you are a good person.In the past, if anyone in the family was sick, he would bother you to take care of him, and he only charged money for the medicinal materials.It's just that we can't blame anyone for this matter!We haven't done anything wrong in our life, and we can't lose our backbone when we get old, right? "

"If you can bear it, so can the child?" Gu Dan asked.

Aunt Li froze immediately, and after a while she said: "Nannan's mother is still there, so it's okay to go back to her mother's house. The family business here has been ruined, and it's good to go back to my hometown to live a stable life."

During the conversation, the door opened again, and Lin Xiaoyi, who came here at some time, walked in.

She is dressed in a phoenix gown, wearing a dragon and phoenix bead emerald crown. The red embroidered skirt has her own embellishments, and there are gold dragon and phoenix patterns on it.

When Lin Xiaoyi walked to Aunt Li's side, it was as if the bright moon in the sky and the soil on the ground reflected each other, and the gap between the sky and the earth could be seen at a glance.

"I don't know if you can tell me about my aunt's difficulties? I can help you solve these troubles."

Lin Xiaoyi pulled Aunt Li's withered, black and thin palm with her white, tender, slender and well-maintained green fingers, and her voice was kind and gentle, like a girl next door.

It's just that her arrival made Aunt Li even more embarrassed, and when her eyes touched her for a moment, she moved away as if getting an electric shock.

The golden dragon and phoenix patterns must be worn by non-royal families.

Being able to have both, identity speaks for itself.

Where is such a character accessible to ordinary people?It is even more difficult to look up at the time when the family's wealth is empty.

Although Aunt Li knew that Gu Dan was powerful, she was still a neighbor for more than ten years, and they had a little intersection, so it was not daunting, at most it was difficult to talk about.

But facing Lin Xiaoyi, he couldn't even speak.

The gap between identities is like a cloud and mud, and it is enough to make people feel it in all aspects.

For such a big man, a moment of kindness can make people rise to the sky in one step, and a look is enough to destroy a person's family. Most people will do it at a respectful distance.

What happened in her family is indeed a tragedy in her own home, but what is it in the whole month?
Situations like the ones she has to face, and even worse, can be said to be everywhere.

"I and we can only feel sad in the past few days, and we will return to the clan soon." Aunt Li shook her head constantly, still refusing to accept it.

She didn't come here to beg, and she just wanted to apologize.

Although her child is dead, she is still alive!
If someone helps you once, can you still help them for a lifetime?

A person cannot be resurrected after death, so it is better to take the children back to the hometown than to take home property and walk on thin ice here.

Of course life will be more difficult, at least there will be no need to intrigue and tremble all the time.

Aunt Li's attitude was extremely resolute, and she didn't want to take the opportunity to pour out her bitterness, nor would she accept the help of Gu Dan and Lin Xiaoyi, she wholeheartedly wanted to take her granddaughter back to her hometown.

Even if the flames of war are still going on outside, I don't want to stay here and feel sad.

The atmosphere became a little dull.

The room was eerily quiet for a moment.

Fortunately, beside the stove, Xiaoying was still happily feeding the little girl.

After the little girl hiccupped and whispered that she was full, Xiaoying finally let go of her palm temporarily, and asked softly, "Tell me what you want? My sister has everything here, and I can help you!" "

Perhaps it was because of Xiaoying's kindness that made her feel warm. The little girl was a little embarrassed by the heat of the stove, her rosy thin face was a little embarrassed, and she whispered, "Sister, I want to be a dog."

"Ok?"

As soon as this remark was made, everyone in the seemingly quiet room looked over.
