Li Yifei laughed when he heard this and said: "I will wake up, uncle, I want to thank you!"
"You're welcome, I'm just...doing my best." The little girl smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly after speaking. Li Yifei noticed that the little girl was wearing a shabby school uniform with the name of the school on the chest - Hope
She is in elementary school, but the school uniform is a bit too wide and doesn't fit well. It doesn't seem to be her own clothes, and she has a pair of slippers on her feet.
Seeing Li Yifei looking at her feet, the little girl felt a little nervous and moved her feet as if she wanted to hide them.
"You saved me, right?" Li Yifei asked instead.
"Well, it's me!" the little girl whispered.
"Thank you, but where are your adults?" Li Yifei continued to ask.
The little girl looked up at Li Yifei and shook her head. Li Yifei asked, "Aren't you at home?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating. Li Yifei guessed the reason and said, "It doesn't matter. If it's not convenient for you to answer, you don't have to answer."
"It's not...it's just that I don't have any family anymore. They all got sick and left!" The little girl pursed her lips after finishing speaking. She didn't seem very sad, but she was definitely helpless.
Li Yifei quickly said: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It doesn't matter, I have adapted." the little girl said.
Li Yifei didn't know what to say for a while. After holding on for a while, the little girl said: "Are you thirsty? Let me give you some water."
"Okay, thank you. I'm really thirsty, but I can't move now. I still want you to help me." Li Yifei thanked him.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can swallow by yourself now, I... I used to dip leaves in water and feed you a little." The little girl said, taking the wooden bowl next to her, and seeing Li Yifei lying down unable to move, she
He was also worried that Li Yifei would choke, so he put down the bowl, turned around and said, "I'll help you sit up a little to avoid choking."
"Okay, thank you!" Li Yifei first saw this broken house and then heard that the little girl had become an orphan. He felt uncomfortable, but the little girl seemed very optimistic. After feeding him half a bowl of water, he said:
"You just woke up, so don't drink too much. I'm going to make you some porridge. I remember the teacher said you can't eat too much when your stomach is empty, so you can only drink a little."
"Okay, don't worry, pay attention to the fire!" Li Yifei said.
The little girl nodded, pursed her lips, and walked out with a small bowl. Li Yifei could now lean on the head of the bed, his gaze was higher, and he was facing the door. When the little girl opened the door, Li Yifei could see
From the outside, it looks like a kitchen, but it's also very small.
The little girl closed the door and Li Yifei couldn't see anymore, so she took a deep breath. Li Yifei licked his lips and felt that his thirst was much better. However, the water entered his stomach, which made Li Yifei feel even hungrier and his stomach growled.
I kept screaming, and the feeling of hunger came over me. It felt really bad.
For several years, Li Yifei has not been very clear about the feeling of hunger. When it comes to eating, he can eat a lot or not move at all, because his cultivation level has allowed him to not eat food properly without being affected. Of course, there are
Sometimes in order to satisfy the appetite, hh will still eat happily.
At this time, Li Yifei was suffering from hunger. His body was too weak, so he had a strong desire for food. Food can bring all kinds of energy. For Li Yifei, it is naturally the most urgent need.
Porridge, there will be porridge in a while, Li Yifei licked his lips and said to himself in his heart.??
He could hear the sound outside the door, and simulated the corresponding scene in his mind. The little girl was washing rice... because he heard the sound of water, the little girl was making a fire, and because he heard the sound of burning flames, the little girl had already washed the rice.
Has it been poured into the pot? Or has it started cooking? Will there be delicious porridge in a while?
It doesn’t have to be too good, just a bowl of rice porridge. Although it has no nutrition, it is definitely better than eating nothing. Li Yifei drank some water and the water in his body was replenished, so he began to secrete saliva, so for the next twenty minutes
In the back left, Li Yifei kept secreting saliva, and then swallowed it. Repeatedly, when he heard the sound of lifting the pot, Li Yifei immediately opened his eyes. It had been a long time since he had been like this, having such a strong desire for a little food.
look forward to.
Li Yifei also grinned when he thought of this. The so-called shortness of breath for a hero is probably like this, but there is nothing wrong with it. As a human being, shortness of breath is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that he cannot turn over. Li Yifei feels that he is just a temporary internal injury.
It will naturally recover after a while.
He was ready to drink porridge, and he had already smelled the alluring aroma, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world, no, not as if, but just, Li Yifei thought firmly.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. From the sound of stepping on the ground, it could be heard that it was a woman. Well, it could also be a half-year-old boy. A few seconds later, Li Yifei heard the little boy whose name he still didn't know.
The girl called out timidly: "Aunt, why are you here?"
"Can I not come? You're a little girl. If you don't come for a few days, I heard that you picked up a wild man and came back?" The woman's tone was very strange, and she spoke ugly Mandarin.
"Aunt, he's not a wild man. He's drowning. I can't just watch and not save him!" the little girl said anxiously.
"Shit, you haven't learned well since you were a child. Why do you still want to find a man to live with? Let me tell you, you can't make the decision about your husband. A few days ago, the Zhong family in the neighboring village asked someone to come to the matchmaking process. Today I'm here to tell you.
"The woman said in a tone that could not be refuted.
Li Yifei frowned in the room. The woman's voice was annoying and her tone was uncomfortable. The content made him frown deeply. Logically speaking, this was a family matter and Li Yifei shouldn't think too much.
But how old is the little girl? Judging from her appearance, she is only about ten years old. She is still a child at this age and cannot even go to school.
She is in the third or fourth grade of elementary school. Her parents are gone. Her aunt... is probably the daughter-in-law of her father's younger brother, so she calls her aunt. This woman actually wants to be a matchmaker for her. What kind of place is this? Li Yifei's impression of Tiannan
The province is also ranked first among all the provinces in the country. Its economy is developing rapidly and it opened up early. However, why is it so backward and ignorant in its thinking?
Li Yifei didn't know that these places were not only ignorant, but also full of disrespect when treating women. Even women who were mothers and grandmothers had the same attitude towards the next generation.
To this day, every family has to have a son, otherwise it will be impossible for them to have children. Marrying a wife is a fertility machine. If you don't give birth to a son, you have to keep having children. It seems that the fertility policy does not work for them, and they would rather be punished than have children.
Li Yifei was already very unhappy just listening to this woman talking, so he deliberately coughed twice, hoping that the woman would restrain herself due to the presence of someone else.
The little girl burst into tears and said: "Aunt, I don't want to get married. I... I can take care of myself. I won't trouble you and uncle. You don't have to worry about me. I can do it myself!"
Listening to the little girl repeatedly saying that he can take care of himself, Li Yifei felt a little sad, which may be related to his current physical condition and his difficulty in restraining his emotions.
A few seconds later, the woman sneered and said, "Why, do you really want to live with that street kid inside?"
"No, aunt, I'm just taking him in temporarily. Once he's well, I'll let him go immediately!" the little girl said quickly!
"Okay, don't talk nonsense to me. I can ignore you, but you must get this man away as soon as possible. I don't care where you throw him, but he must be taken away. In a few days, the matchmaker will take your future husband with him.
Come on, what's going on when you see a man living in your house?" the other party said.
The little girl bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and said, "Auntie, I don't want to get married. I can take care of myself. My life is very good now!"
"Can you support yourself? Do you believe what you say? Don't you think of me? I'm talking about you. Your uncle and I didn't buy anything for you every month. Hey, you even cooked porridge.
Is there seafood in the porridge? Okay, you have it.
You have money to buy seafood. This life is better than what your uncle and I live. Your brother doesn’t even have seafood to eat. It seems that your uncle and I won’t have to buy things for you in the future!” The woman went more and more overboard. After getting angry, she seemed to still
feel puzzled
He was angry and said: "You must have a conscience. How do your uncle and I treat you on weekdays? You are getting older and you eat more. Your uncle's salary is enough to support our family of four.
It’s not enough, I have to add you
, what’s wrong with finding a good family for you, so that you can marry decently and live a good life? The family in the neighboring village is a fisherman, and the sea food is not much better than ours. If you go out with a fishing boat, you will get a lot of money when you come back.
It’s a blessing to let you go there!”
The little girl insisted: "I won't marry, aunt. I can promise you anything else, but I can't agree to this matter. I'm too young to get married!"
"Who said you're young? You're fourteen, so why are you young? Your body is a bit thinner, but once the good times pass, you'll be pregnant in a few months. Okay, don't make me unhappy. I'm here but
I brought you food, and if you don’t agree, don’t tell me and your uncle that we won’t care about you anymore!” The woman continued to threaten.
A flash of anger flashed in Li Yifei's eyes as he listened in the room. It's a pity that he can't move now, otherwise he would have to go out and teach this woman a lesson. What the hell is this?
"Auntie, I'm sorry about..."
"Say one more thing. Today I will ask someone to throw out the street boy inside. Believe it or not, I can do it." The woman suddenly turned around and threatened. The little girl naturally believed it. Her little face was full of grievances, but
