Cheng Xue only stayed here for a moment, then received Li Hui's look of indication and took Bai Shao away.
When we returned to the house, the food was ready, but none of the children ate. They all looked at Li Heng with concern. Pang Yao almost burst into tears and kept shouting "Brother Tiedan".
"Mom, what's wrong with my brother? Come and see, wuwu...wuwuwu..." Li Huai cried while talking and kept shaking Li Heng's arm.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Xue quickly took out a silver needle and pricked it at the tip of Li Heng's left middle finger. As Li Heng screamed "Ah-", Cheng Xue quickly pulled out the needle and held the child in her arms. "I'm scared to death. What's unpleasant to say is that I can't hold it in myself."
Li Heng hugged his mother tightly, trembling all over.
"Mom, they are so pitiful. Mom, they are so scary. They bullied them so much, and when we rushed in..."
"Okay, okay, mother knows, I won't say anything anymore, be good, I won't say anything anymore."
At this moment, Cheng Xue felt very conflicted.
Just now, I was telling my children that if they have any grievances, just say it, but now I interrupt them. But it’s not possible to continue. The other children are here. Could it be that Li Yue and Li Tian were allowed to hear the middle-aged man holding the girl under him?
?
That’s all, as long as the child can come back to his senses, that’s better than anything else.
After hugging Li Heng for a while, she finally sat down directly next to the child to eat.
The noodles were lumpy, which affected the taste, but everyone ate obediently without any complaints. Even Li Huai, who was usually the most cheerful person, was obediently eating with his head down now.
Li Hui and Mr. Pang never came back. Cheng Xue handed Li Huai to Li Yue and went to Li Heng and Yan Yixin's house to accompany them. Yan Yixin was fine, but Li Heng was in some trouble.<
/p>
Even when he was asleep, he was restless and his body was always agitated. Cheng Xue did not move, so she held his hand tightly and patted it gently.
In this way, half an hour passed, and Yan Yixin whispered:
"Auntie, please go back, I can take good care of Tiedan."
Cheng Xue also knew it was time to go back, otherwise Wen Tian would not be able to enter the house.
He gently pulled out his hand, tucked Li Heng into the quilt, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, brother Xin. If it doesn't work, just share the bed with him and hold him tight."
"I know, Auntie."
In fact, Cheng Xue wanted Li Heng to stay with her before going to bed, but the child was older and had other ideas, so she said nothing.
When she went out and saw Wen Tian waiting at the door, Cheng Xue said "Sorry" guiltily, and the latter shook his head as a response.
"Li Hui has to wait for a while. Go and help Mr. Pang back. I called him, but he didn't listen."
"Okay, I understand." Cheng Xue responded and walked quickly towards the front hall.
No one left the post station, and the county magistrate and the postmaster were tied up in the stable. This is not a small matter, and I'm afraid it will delay their journey. It is estimated that when they set off again, they will not be able to travel so comfortably.
Halfway through, she saw Li Hui helping Mr. Pang out. Cheng Xue hurried over to help the old man’s other arm.
"You can't stay up late. Go back to your room and rest as soon as possible. Tiedan and Brother Xin have all taken a rest."
Mr. Pang said "Yeah" and sighed.
"Lu Yuchen was the second-class Jinshi in the seventh year of Yongle. I read the papers he took the exam for. How could such a high-spirited child become such a beast now!"
"People will change, don't be angry for them, you won't do it." Cheng Xue hurriedly advised.
If you really make the old man angry, they will be guilty as a couple.
I stretched out my hand to feel my pulse. Except for some liver fire, everything else was fine.
"Have you found the families of those five girls?"
"No." Li Hui shook his head slowly.
Mr. Pang took a deep breath, said "Oh" and said:
"Even if their families can be found, as it is now... I'm afraid those five children will die if they return home. Oh, what a pity!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xue looked at Li Hui, and the latter nodded at her. The meaning was obvious, she could do whatever she wanted.
Save people to the end and send Buddha to the West.
But she can only take away two at most. She really doesn't have the energy to take five. What's more important is whether these five girls can come out and whether they are willing to live.
"Is there anyone watching over there at night? How about I go over there." Cheng Xue suggested.
The main reason is that there is no one around at night, and the five children will wake up and do stupid things again.
Mr. Pang waved his hand, "Don't go, you are very tired after a long day of work. Haiyang has sent a doctor there. As long as they don't seek death, nothing will happen to them."
"What if..."
"My child, can you stay here for one night or for a lifetime?"
Cheng Xue pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking.
After sending Mr. Pang back to the house, the two of them also returned to their rooms. Bai Zhi had already put the quilts in the house, and the water was brought over, and it was still warm. I guess the little girl would come over to test the water temperature.
After a simple wash, Cheng Xue sat leaning against the wall of fire, unable to calm down for a long time.
After Li Hui got into bed, she murmured:
"When I saw the five of them, I thought of Li Yue and Li Tian. If there are girls from our family among the five, I think I can fight them to the death."
Li Hui raised his hand and held her Rouyi, nodded and said:
"I can do it too. Just lie down and let's chat."
Cheng Xue obediently got into bed. Although the two of them were covered with a quilt each, they were very close to each other.
"After Mr. Hai came, he told him that the man named Lu could be re-elected here three times because there were people in Beijing protecting him. Mr. Pang sent people out to listen to the people's voices and learned that girls were often lost in the county.
Yes. Because she is a girl, their parents didn’t bother to look for her too much, and over time it became like this.”
"Then the parents of these five girls have not been found?"
"We found them. Two of them are biological sisters and have no parents. The other three... their parents are all swearing and just want money. Even if they go back, they will not end well."
"What should we do? We can't watch them die." Cheng Xue was confused in her heart.
Intellectually she can be pragmatic, but emotionally...she is a doctor after all. She can save lives and heal the wounded, but she can't just ignore death!
This is especially true for Li Hui. He is a soldier and has the duty to defend the country and the people.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you what I think. If the five of them can really survive, let's take the two sisters away, and let Mr. Hai help the other three back to Wanghe Village. Let them go to work in the workshop
, make your own money and spend it yourself, I think it won’t take long for you to be able to get out.”
"Aren't you really going to send someone to guard you that night?"
"What do you think?" Li Hui asked.
No one can wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, and no one can save someone who wants to die.
Cheng Xue thought about it carefully, and finally decided to listen to his opinion and wait until tomorrow to see the results. But she was still praying in her heart, praying that the five girls would not be stupid. It would be better to die than to live. That layer of film does not mean anything, only living is the most important thing.
Of!
"Go to sleep, don't think about it. If Mr. Pang sees this, it will definitely not go well. We have to spend some time here, so be prepared."
