Seeing his appearance, Yuqing remembered that he mentioned his mother and couldn't help but feel nervous: "Why are you looking like this? Could it be your mother..."

The boy burst into tears and choked and said, "My mother... she starved to death before she could wait for my steamed bun..."

Speaking of this, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yuqing constantly: "Actually, the young cannot ask the master, but my son cannot watch my mother in peace.

The little one is begging the owner to give me more than ten cents so that the little one can buy a mat to bury my mother.”

As expected, you can't do good things easily. If you have the above, you will have the following.

Yuqing sighed lightly, went forward to help the boy, and found that he was skinny and bony.

"Wait for me, I'll send my sister home before telling you in detail."

The boy nodded and sat down on the big rock under the shade of the tree beside the road, watching Yuqing lead Yujie into the government office through the side door.

Yuqing handed Yujie to He and reported the reason why she was going out.

He has always been kind-hearted and asked her if the money she had in her hands was enough, and if it was not enough, she would give her money.

Yuqing asked for a ingot of three taels of silver, but she still went out in men's clothes.

In ancient times, being a man was indeed much better than being a woman. Men had many privileges in society and their actions were not restricted.

Yuqing lowered her head and walked while thinking about whether she would pretend to be a man for the rest of her life. The feet of a man wearing boots reflected into her water-like eyes.

Yuqing looked up along her feet and saw Shen Zhaohan. Her face suddenly became smelly. She ignored him and passed by him.

Shen Zhaohan hurriedly apologized sincerely behind her back: "Miss Yuqing, I'm sorry, I shouldn't maliciously guess you without knowing the truth."

Yuqing stopped and turned to face him: "Okay, I accept your apology."

She has an advantage that many girls do not have, that is, as long as the other party apologizes, she can keep going.

After Yuqing finished speaking, she walked out of the government office.

After leaving the government office, she saw the young man still sitting there at a glance.

The boy also saw her and quickly stood up from the stone.

Yuqing did not give him the money, but asked him to take her to see his mother.

It is OK to do good deeds, but she is afraid of being deceived and must be honest with her to give him money to handle the funeral.

The two followed each other forward.

Yuqing asked the boy what his name was.

The young man replied, "The youngest is called Liu Dazhuang, I dare to ask the young master Daming."

Yuqing waved his hand: "Don't call me young master, just call me Aqing."

The boy replied: "Yes, master."

This title... has advanced~

Yuqing was speechless and asked Liu Dazhuang if their family had been here from a foreign country, because she heard that his accent was not local.

Liu Dazhuang lowered his head and replied yes.

The voice was low and told Yuqing that their home was in the Central Plains, where there was a drought this year.

The family could not survive in the local area, so they went out to find a way out with the famine team.

But where is the poor living in the world?

In order not to drag down their family and give them hope to survive, grandparents jumped into the river and died while fleeing.

Speaking of this, the boy choked up his voice: "At that time, my grandparents were not the only ones who jumped into the river, but many elderly people were jumping.

Those old people think that they will waste food while they are alive. It is better to leave it to us juniors than to have food~”

Yuqing felt sad when she heard this and asked, "Your disaster is so severe, is the court not caring about it?"

The young man wiped his tears hard and sneered: "Not to mention that the disaster area is not large, local officials will not report it to the court.

Even if the disaster area is large, local officials have to report to the court. So what if the court allocates relief grain?

Those relief grains are exploited layer by layer in the hands of officials. How many grains can the people have in their hands?”

Yuqing heard his words a little bit literary and asked, "Have you studied?"

Liu Dazhuang nodded: "I've read it. My grandfather said that the world is the world of scholars. Only by studying can one become an official, and only by being an official can one not be bullied. Being a farmer can only be exploited for the rest of one's life.

So I want to give me a good example, even if I pass a scholar, it is still good.

It’s a pity that my family is too poor. Even though I have been squandering my life, I only have to study for three years, so I won’t be blind.”

Yuqing's heart moved: "Do you still want to study?"

She had an idea in her mind, that if Liu Dazhuang still wanted to study and if others were still able to live up to their character, she would pay him to study.

It’s both helping him and yourself.

After all, he is his benefactor. If he has a future, he will definitely protect her and her mother and daughter.

In this ancient times when people were eaten, women were like snails without shelter, and it was too difficult to survive.

Although Yuqing did not think of rewards for helping Liu Dazhuang at first, she has never been a rigid person. Why not do it if she can achieve a win-win situation?

Liu Dazhuang shook his head: "I don't like studying very much, I love to dance with knives and sticks."

When Yuqing heard this, she had to give up.

She wanted to ask why only he and his son fled here and were the only one who fled to famine, and whether the other family members were starving to death on the way.

I was afraid of asking her sadness, so I resisted not asking.

However, Liu Dazhuang himself told her intermittently that his father and younger brothers and sisters were starved to death on the way to escape, and now even his mother was starving to death.

From then on, he had no relatives in the world and lived alone.

When the boy said this, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yuqing, who had been listening silently, raised her head and was about to comfort him, but suddenly she found herself in the wilderness where no one could help but stop with caution.

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others.

Although she helped the teenager, he was so poor, would he do anything too much to her, such as robbery or kidnapping?

People are really vicious when they are poor ~

Seeing that Yuqing suddenly stopped leaving, Liu Dazhuang wiped his tears and asked, "Master, are you tired of walking? If you are tired of walking, I will carry you." After that, he squatted down towards her.

Yuqing looked at his thin and thin back and was really worried that he would crush him if he pressed him up. Although he was also very thin, he still had weight.

It was the first time she had seen such a thin boy~

Yuqing took advantage of Liu Dazhuang's back to her and quickly picked up a stone from the ground and put it in her sleeve, asking, "How far is it to see your mother?"

"It's probably about a mile away." Liu Dazhuang turned his head and said to her, "Come up quickly, master."

Yuqing shook her head: "I'm not tired, I can still leave."

Liu Dazhuang then stood up and took Yuqing and her way.

Yuqing didn't say a word for the rest of the journey, and kept holding the stone tightly, alerting the surroundings, and even more alert to Liu Dazhuang.

After walking about a mile, Liu Dazhuang took her to a dilapidated temple.

As soon as Yuqing entered the dilapidated temple, he saw a skinny and haggard woman lying on the ground.

Liu Dazhuang walked over, knelt down beside the woman, and couldn't help crying: "Mom, my benefactor is here to see you~"
