"Well--!"
Liu San'er made a painful groan, and he pulled his arm out of the box at once, but it was too late. Blood flowed down his arm, and it immediately spilled on the stone table, and became a lot of red.
Ruxiang couldn't care less at this time, and hurriedly supported him: "Three brother!"
I also looked at him nervously, and saw that Liu Saner's face was pale with pain, and large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. The people around him were all uproar, and all of them came up to protect him: "Three children!"
"Liu Saner, are you okay?"
"How is your hand?"
"..."
He hasn't spoken. In fact, it was the most painful period of time with his teeth. I stood next to him and could almost hear his teeth rattling. After a while, he finally relieved his breath, Lifted his head and shook his head slightly at the people around him.
Then he laboredly lifted his arm and let his hand loose.
Alas, several blood-stained copper coins landed on the stone table.
I count carefully-five!
He caught five bronze coins!
No, that's wrong. He caught seven, but at the last moment he put back two.
The villagers were all stunned for a moment, as if they were a little confused, whether they should be happy or angry, and the government officials were dumbfounded when they saw the scene.
A long time ago, a government official sneered, "Hum, you're very generous. You can make 20% more money for Lujia Village."
As soon as this word came out, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became a bit subtle.
An old woman muttered in a low voice, "It's clear that you can avoid 20% of the cost. What are you throwing back?"
At this moment, the villagers immediately complained in a rude manner--
"That's why they obviously caught seven."
"Liu San'er, what are you doing?"
"Twenty percent more tax, do you dare to pay it alone?"
"Do you know how hard we are?"
Listening to these people's groaning complaints, Liu Saner's face turned white with pain, and he could only grip his elbows and grit his teeth hard, without saying a word. I reached out and helped him, and turned back coldly: "You work hard. Is it true that others are not human and others will not work hard? Compare your heart to your heart. If you all plant the same land, let you pay 70% of the tax. 30%, do you think it's fair? "
Everyone looked at each other, and although they still had a look of dissatisfaction, they all shut up.
The government officials, who had originally watched the attempt to provoke Lijian to succeed, were suppressed by my words, and they were a little dissatisfied. One came over, looked up and down, and said, "Who are you? Why haven't you met here?"
Oops!
Just now I was just helping Liu Saner in his early days, and I forgot myself. What if I was recognized?
Seeing that my face was changing, and her head was timidly bowed, Liu San'er hurriedly said, "She is my cousin. There is no one at home. Come here to trust me."
"cousin?"
The government official circled me again, his eyes lightened, and he said, "I can't see, your boy has such beautiful relatives."
At this time, I had calmed down and didn't look at him. I only helped Liu San'er and said, "Your injury should be dealt with immediately, let's go home quickly." After that, I pinched him carefully, Liu San'er was very good , Nodded and said, "I see. By the way, cousin, don't tell my mother when you go home."
"Rest assured, if my aunt knew it, she would be sad."
The two of us sang in harmony, Ruxiang looked beside, without squeaking, and finally fooled the government official. I helped Liu Saner to go back. He looked back at the blood-stained copper coins on the table, and said with a low voice, "Dear folks, I still think so, it's fair to everyone."
After speaking, nodded and left with me.
His arm was bleeding back to his home. Although I was still very weak, he also gritted his teeth at this time to help him clean the wound. Fortunately, he suffered only a skin trauma, and did not hurt the bones and bones. I took out a clean bandage and wrapped it carefully. When the wound was treated, I felt that my strength was almost exhausted.
He held the injured hand and carefully moved his finger.
There didn't seem to be any problem with his fingers. Just moving it touched the wound and made his face white.
I hurriedly said, "You still have to support this injury. Don't touch the water these days."
"Ok, I know."
As I put away the remaining white cloth, I looked at his pale face and said gently, "Why are you doing this?"
He looked up at me and said: "What you tell them is what I think. But I ca n’t say you are so good. Compare your heart to your heart. If it is me, you are not willing to bear the unfair consequences. So, this is the fairest of."
After that, he smiled at me.
Looking at his smile like a child, I remembered that when I resolutely put my hand into the knife box, the determination and decisiveness, as well as his choice, seemed to make me see another him.
Maybe he is not as poor as I see it.
There are indeed wonderful things to say.
When I was dying, Liu Saner took care of me everywhere; now he is injured, but fortunately I can move. Although I had been sweating and sweating for a long time, I thought that I was helping a benefactor, but I could bite my teeth to persist.
When I opened the lid, the milky fish soup in Dachai pot was rolling and exuding a strong aroma.
Liu San'er just came to the door of the kitchen, and when he smelled the scent, he immediately said, "It's so fragrant."
I smiled and brought out the fish soup.
After cleaning the pot, brush some oil on the bottom of the pot, wait for the oil to heat up, wash and cut the vegetables, put them down and fry quickly. A plate of green fried vegetables will come out of the pot.
In the summer, the money in the pot is too hot to burn. I wiped the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve and took out the food. Liu Saner was already setting the tableware. I said in a hurry: "Be careful of your hurt."
"It's okay, it's just a trauma. The doctor also said that it won't be a problem if you don't take too much weight." He said, looking up again and looking at me apologetically. I'm sorry to ask you to do these housework. "
I laughed: "Don't say that. You saved my life. I don't know how to repay such a big grace."
He hurriedly waved his hand and said not to mention it.
Before eating, I still followed his example, and put rice and vegetables and a bowl of soup into the back room.
As soon as the flower curtain was opened, I smelled a faint smell of medicine in the room. An old woman with silver wires and wrinkles on her face was lying there quietly, it was Liu San's mother.
"Aunt Liu." I walked to the bed carefully: "It's time to eat."
She opened her eyes and glanced at me, and a smile appeared in the muddy eyes: "OK."
I helped her to sit up. People have been ill for a long time, and my body is imaginary. I remember that I had been seriously ill like this, but in the end, I was still young and recovered quickly. As long as I can survive any injuries and pains, I wo n’t. What a matter, but older people are really different.
Aunt Liu gasped slightly, leaned on the bedside, looked at the dishes in the bowl, and looked at my sweaty look, and said softly: "Light girl, you have cooked these days. ? "
"Ok."
"I said, no wonder it's so fragrant."
"Liu Saner's cooking is also good."
"He's good enough."
I laughed, carefully fed her with soup, and then delivered her food to her mouth with a spoonful, and said to her, "Brother Liu is filial to you, but it ’s just a man. You ca n’t cook well. "
"Yeah," she nodded, and looked at me. "It's a woman who should be a master."
When I heard this sentence, the spoon in my hand trembled, and said nothing, but delivered the food into her mouth with a smile.
After feeding her, and helping her to lie down slowly, I packed up the chopsticks and went out to eat with Liu San'er. He chopped the rice with a big mouth, and said, "Light, your cooking It tastes so good, it tastes better than my mother. "
"Just eat more. I will cook other dishes tomorrow."
"You still have a good rest. Let me do it."
I laughed: "Aunt said, she doesn't want to eat your craft anymore."
"Ah?" He froze, immediately scratching his back, and smiled embarrassedly.
I took a sip of soup and suddenly remembered something and asked him: "That's right, the official said that day that you bought a ginseng or two in town a month ago, what did you do?"
"Ah? No, nothing."
"A month ago ... was it for me?"
He glanced at me and knew that he couldn't hide from me, then nodded: "At that time, your body was too weak and drowning again. If you do n’t need to hang your breath with the soup, the doctor said you ca n’t get over. I just bought it. "
I took a long breath, but my heart was a little heavy.
No wonder when I woke up, the strong bitterness in my mouth was the taste of ginseng soup.
At that time, I was afraid that the tone of hang would be left, but I did not expect that Liu San'er would hang me with such precious ginseng soup.
A hot stream of warmth came out of my heart, and I glanced at him with red eyes.
"You, don't worry about it," he said quickly, "everything should be saved."
My heart is sour.
In his eyes, human life is human life. No matter how much money or power, it is more important than a living human life. Therefore, I almost lost my life in the hands of the richest man in the world. The poor boy who couldn't even afford to eat was saved.
Actually, I don't blame that man. A high-power person needs a courageous spirit, and I can only sigh that he is the one who was sacrificed.
I sucked my nose: "Where do you get so much money?"
