Seeing the stupid disciple's tears flowing more and more, Fang Mingzhu couldn't help softening her voice and gently coaxed:
"Stop crying, where are your parents? Can you ask for leave and go back to see them?"
"They are all dead..."
The stupid disciple's words broke Fang Mingzhu's last strength, and her body shook uncontrollably:
"All, dead?"
"Yeah," the stupid disciple cried and nodded.
Fang Mingzhu is really afraid of hearing such things now. She is now afraid of everything related to death. She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of losing her mother!
Fang Mingzhu suddenly felt that she really needed someone to rely on now. She really needed someone to tell her to be strong and not to be afraid. All problems could be solved. There must be hope for her mother!
Fang Mingzhu suddenly stood up, walked over and hugged the stupid apprentice tightly. Her sudden movement shocked the stupid apprentice. If in modern times, these fifteen or sixteen-year-old children would definitely act like this.
It's quite normal, but this is ancient times. Although the stupid apprentice is the lowest apprentice, even worse than a servant, he still knows the principle of men and women not being intimate. So the stupid apprentice instinctively hides behind.
But although he was tall and strong, he was not as strong as Fang Mingzhu, so he couldn't break away from Fang Mingzhu's embrace for a while. Fang Mingzhu was too sad now, so she didn't realize the stupid apprentice's struggle. She just pressed her face tightly.
He clung to the stupid disciple’s shoulder and cried:
"I miss my mother too. My mother may be dying too. I'm so scared."
After hearing Fang Mingzhu's words, the stupid apprentice was stunned. He didn't expect that this ugly girl would have the same fate as himself. For a moment, the pain of sympathy filled his heart. Fang Mingzhu reminded him of his sister who died young.
When her mother was about to die, her sister threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
The stupid disciple no longer avoided, but stretched out his hand, hugged Fang Mingzhu, patted her back gently, and comforted her awkwardly:
"It's okay, it's okay, your mother won't die."
Maybe, only someone as stupid as him would say such innocuous nonsense at this time, but in this situation, at this moment, when these words were heard in Fang Mingzhu's ears,
It was nothing less than the sound of nature. She immediately raised her head and looked at the stupid apprentice through tears in her eyes:
"Are you telling the truth? Is my mother really going to be fine?" So no matter how smart or sober a person is, there are times when they need comfort. What Fang Mingzhu needs most right now is these words.
"Of course it's true." After the stupid apprentice finished speaking, he thought he should explain further. However, he racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Fang Mingzhu's mother would be fine. After thinking for a while, he said again:
"Why do you think something will happen to your mother? Is she sick?"
"Well," Mingzhu nodded: "She was injured because she was trying to save me. I have to do something. If I can't do it, my mother will really die."
"That's right," the stupid apprentice suddenly raised his head, his voice full of hope: "Then let's do that thing. Whatever you need, I will help you. I have plenty of strength, as long as I do the boss's work
Once everything is done, I can help you."
"Really," Fang Mingzhu raised her head happily. No matter what, it is always good news to hear that someone really wants to help you. But soon, Fang Mingzhu's eyes dimmed again: "But, that thing
It’s too difficult, can we do it just by the two of us?”
"Of course!" the stupid apprentice said loudly.
"Do you really think so?" Mingzhu didn't understand why he was so optimistic.
"Have you ever heard the story? In the story, the children who save their mother will definitely succeed, because God will bless them. Therefore, we will definitely succeed too."
Fang Mingzhu looked at the stupid apprentice, with tears in his eyes filled with gratitude. Although the stupid apprentice's words were a little vague, they were the first sincere words he heard after coming to this strange world. Mingzhu was really very kind.
Fortunately, I could meet such a loyal and kind friend. Looking at the stupid disciple's honest expression, Fang Mingzhu smiled:
"My name is Fang Mingzhu, I don't know your name yet?"
The stupid disciple smiled naively:
"My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Lizi."
"Ah, roasted chestnuts with sugar!" Fang Mingzhu blurted out.
Obviously, the stupid disciple didn't understand what Fang Mingzhu meant, and thought she didn't understand clearly, so he explained it again in a good temper:
"No, my name is not Tang Chaolizi, my name is Tang Lizi."
"Okay, Tang Lizi." Fang Mingzhu nodded. Although she knew that he was not called Tanglizi, Fang Mingzhu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when she looked at the stupid apprentice.
When I was a teenager, my mother would take me to Qingcheng Mountain every autumn, and what impressed me most was the sweet, fragrant and warm sugar-roasted chestnuts.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, it's already cold." As Fang Mingzhu spoke, she took Tang Lizi and sat back on the stove.
Seeing Tang Lizi devouring the food, Fang Mingzhu couldn't help but put the dishes on the plate into Tang Lizi's bowl. It wasn't until Tang Lizi had almost eaten that he realized this and hurriedly said:
"Don't just give it to me, you can eat it too."
Fang Mingzhu smiled and shook her head:
"You go ahead and eat. I won't eat much. I'll feel full if I eat a little."
"Looking at Tang Lizi's eating appearance, he must have been starving when he was at Boss Chen's house. Hum, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. As long as he is in this house for a day, he must let himself and
Eat chestnuts well!" Fang Mingzhu secretly made up her mind.
"Mingzhu, boss, why are they so nice to you all of a sudden?" Li Zi had almost eaten, and he was in the mood to care about other things.
"Humph, do they expect me to make money for them?"
"Can you make money?" Li Zi expressed doubts.
"Hey, I can't explain it to you right now. You will understand it later. Let's talk about the important things first. I have something to ask you for help."
"Say, as long as I can do it." Li Zi behaved very manly.
"Are you going to give that new hairpin to the guest later?" Fang Mingzhu asked.
"Yes, I originally said that I would send it to you in the morning, but the girls there got up late and had to have lunch before getting up, so the boss asked me to send it to you in the afternoon..." Lizi suddenly paused, because he
I feel that I shouldn't talk about these topics with Fang Mingzhu. After all, she is a girl's family.
Fang Mingzhu didn't care about that and continued to ask:
"Is the place you are going to big and famous?"
"Where is it?" Li Zi was a little embarrassed, trying to avoid the topic.
"It's a brothel!" Fang Mingzhu said carelessly.
"Ah!" Li Zi exclaimed.
Seeing Li Zi's surprised look, Fang Mingzhu didn't understand either:
"Why, isn't your place called a brothel? Then what is your name? You definitely don't call it a red light district, if not a brothel?" Fang Mingzhu racked her brains to collect the knowledge she had gained from modern TV dramas.
