Twilight.

Zhu Jiuyin put down her chopsticks and looked at the woman on the bed.

Light shines through the window on the woman, who looks quiet and serene.

“Sir, the concubine will not live for a few days.”

The woman’s eyes were lowered, and on her thin palm, she held a needle and thread and a tiger hat that had not yet been embroidered.

“Fei, please sir.”

Zhu Jiuyin spat out a word.

“Good.”

After saying that, he got up and walked outside the house.

“Sir, this is the last meeting between you and me.”

Zhu Jiuyinxin’s long body froze slightly.

I opened my mouth, but I didn’t know what to say.

“Crunch~”

Zhu Jiuyin pushed open the door of the east wing, and in the house, Xiao Bu sat on a small bench with a bowl of corn in his arms.

At this moment, he was chewing on the chicken bone of the chicken leg.

“Master~”

Seeing Zhu Jiuyin, Xiao Budian hurriedly buried the chicken bones in the corn rice.

The little face is hot.

“Apprentice, from now on, you will stay in the town and accompany your mother.”

“Wait for the spring of the next year, and then look for a teacher under the Buzhou Mountain.”

Zhu Jiuyin smiled.

“Master, the town is not far from Mount Zhou.”

Xiao Budian put down his rice bowl, snorted, and stood up.

“Apprentice, you also know that snakes need to hibernate.”

“Oooh, so it is.”

Xiao Budian touched the back of his head and said shamefully: “That apprentice wishes Master a good dream.”

“Borrow your words.”

“Master, I’ll send you to the entrance of the town.”

“No, eat quickly, it’s going to be cold.”

……

When passing by the stove house, Zhu Jiuyin saw Liu Cui’er washing dishes, so he didn’t bother.

Walking out of the alley, Zhu Jiuyin carried his hands on his back, stepped on the bluestone slab barefoot, and walked towards the entrance of the town.

On the street, there are gray-haired old men leading old cows to swallow slowly.

A vegetable vendor carried an empty bamboo basket, humming a ditty in his mouth, and walked to his home.

There were women carrying baskets of vegetables in a hurry. There were children carrying book bags, in groups of three or five.

Sniff lightly, and the nose is full of the aroma of food.

Look up, the town is full of fireworks.

Not long after, Zhu Jiuyin came to the entrance of the town.

Under the old acacia, there was no trace of Mr. Qingshirt.

“Sir, wait.”

Zhu Jiuyin was about to walk outside the town when a voice suddenly floated behind him.

Turning to look, he saw Liu Cui’er hurriedly running.

“Sir, can I delay you for some time?”

Zhu Jiuyin nodded lightly and made a gesture in the direction of Lao Huai.

“Girl Cui’er, please.”

……

Zhu Jiuyin had never seen such a thick locust tree, and it took at least three adults to hug it.

The bare branches, the teeth and claws stretched out in all directions.

It can be imagined that in the middle of summer next year, it is a beautiful thing to cool down in the shade of the trees that shade the sky with locust trees.

Under the old locust, there are stone piers and tree stumps.

Liu Cui’er sat on the stone pier, and Zhu Jiuyin sat on the stump.

After pondering for a while, Liu Cui’er asked, “Sir, how much do you know about Ah Fei?” The

red pupils under Zhu Jiuyin’s cloth narrowed slightly, enjoying the last bit of residual warmth of the sunset.

He said, “Since the Cui’er girl has something in mind, you might as well say it directly.”

“Sir, do you know how Sister Ling’er’s legs broke?”

Without waiting for Zhu Jiuyin to reply, Liu Cui’er said to herself: “It was sawed off by herself, with a saw.” Zhu

Jiuyin’s body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Liu Cui’er’s apricot eyes of the water spirit gathered two dark clouds.

“That year, Ah Fei was only two years old.”

As the narration progressed, the dark clouds in the girl’s eyes collapsed.

The past is like a torrential rain, pouring down.

“Father A Fei called Chen Yanshi, and the year he married Ling’er’s sister was also the winter of the year Linger’s sister was pregnant, and he went deep into the mountains to hunt and never came back.”

“Sir, can you imagine? Sister Ling’er, who has a big belly, picks up rotten vegetable leaves in the market every day for the nutrition of the child in her belly.

“I only dare to eat half a bowl of corn every day, and every day I have to go outside the town to collect small bundles of firewood.”

“The winter of that year was very long and very cold. Fei was born on a dark night with a violent snowstorm.

“In that cold room, Sister Ling’er delivered the baby for herself.”

“I cut my umbilical cord, boiled hot water myself, and washed Ah Fei’s blood.”

“Ah Fei was born prematurely, and on the night of birth, he didn’t cry.”

“Sister Ling’er thought that the child would not survive that winter.”

“Whew~”

Speaking of this, Liu Cui’er exhaled deeply.

He stretched out his fist and punched his chest a few times.

“Due to heavy bleeding due to difficult labor, Sister Ling’er fell ill.”

“When Ah Fei was one year old, Sister Ling’er first rotted her feet, and then went up until it spread to her legs, endangering her life.”

“Poor families, orphans and widows, even food, clothing and warmth are problems, let alone medical treatment.”

“When Ah Fei was two years old, on a dark night of fierce wind and rain, lightning and thunder, Sister Ling’er entrusted the child to me.”

That night, she was alone and boiled a pot of hot water. Biting into a wooden stick in his mouth, he picked up a saw and sawed off two legs that had rotted to the bone.

“That night, in my memory, was long, long.”

“The next day, after a sleepless night, I pushed open the door.”

“Sir, that scene, the concubine body will never forget in her life.”

“On the wooden bed, there was blood everywhere. On the ground, there were two broken legs with blurred flesh and blood.

“The futon seemed to have been soaked in blood. The stick, broken in two, was full of tooth marks.

“Sister Ling’er’s blood-stained face is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The so-called fairy painted in Biannian is thousands of times more beautiful.

“Sir, perhaps the concubine has seen too few people and is lonely. Whether it was, is now, or will be, Sister Linger is the person I admire the most.

“There is no one who can compare to Sister Ling’er.”

Sawing your legs!

As a cold-blooded animal, Zhu Jiuyin’s palms couldn’t help but feel moist at this moment.

“Sir, Fei is a good boy.”

“From the moment of understanding, the childish shoulders shoulder the responsibility of the head of the family.”

“When I was three or four years old, I stepped on a small bench, learned to cook, and learned to boil medicine for Linger’s sister.”

“Other children can sit in a school with clear windows and read and write. Ah Fei, on the other hand, can only be trapped in the tight stove house, shaking the fan day after day.

“Other children, going up trees to steal birds, going down to the river to fish, playing crazy all day.” Ah Fei, on the other hand, could only go to the depths of the mountain alone to dig for medicinal herbs.

“Other children, several times a year, new clothes.” Ah Fei, on the other hand, can only wear coarse linen clothes and step on tattered straw shoes.

“The left and right neighbors are reluctant to see the misery of the mother and son, and they will receive help every three or five days.”

“However, Zhang Sanjia gave three white-faced steamed buns today, and A Fei Ming’er immediately returned four.”

“The Li Sijia gave two catties of meat today, and A Fei Ming’er will return three catties.”

Speaking of this, Liu Cui’er looked at Zhu Jiuyin.

“Sir, in fact, back then, the Yang Treasurer of the Yang Family Medicine Store went to find my sister.”

“After seeing it, Yang told his sister that if he wanted to survive, he had to give up his legs.”

“And Yang Treasurer, willing to amputate my sister’s leg for free.”

“As long as the anesthetic dose is sufficient, my sister will fall into a coma and will not feel any pain during the amputation.”

Zhu Jiuyin frowned, “Why refuse?”

Liu Cui’er smiled bitterly, “As far as Yang Treasurer is concerned, amputating her sister’s leg is just a kind gesture. But for my sister, that kindness is too big and heavy.

“My sister knows very well that after the amputation, she is a disabled person, and she can’t pay back Yang’s favor.”

“This great human favor can only weigh heavily on Ah Fei’s shoulders.”

The Yu family is poor, so they do not owe an inch of grace.

“My sister’s only wish is that Fei can live this life in good health and safety.”

“For so many years, my sister and Ah Fei have never owed anyone in the town kindness.”

“Sir,”

Liu Cui’er said with a serious expression, “The reason why the concubine body said so much to my husband is because I know that my sister will not live many days.

“Fei is really a very good and good child.”

“If the husband can’t do it, please speak directly to the concubine.”

“I will take my sister’s wish and raise Ah Fei as an adult.”

Zhu Jiuyin was sitting in front of him.

His voice was gentle but firm: “Cui’er girl, please rest assured, one day as a teacher, and a lifetime as a father.”

“As a father, I will educate Fei and guard him for the rest of my life.”

“Sir, thank you~”

Liu Cui’er had tears in her eyes, but a smile was on the corner of her mouth.

“If you let Ah Fei know that there are so many people thinking about him and thinking about him, the child will wake up laughing in his dreams.”

Mother, master, plus Sister Cui’er, a total of three.

Is it a lot?

It’s just too much.
