The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

When Xiao Hei came back, it was almost dark.

At that time, Mo Yan and Li Xiu were preparing pots and ingredients in the kitchen for hot pot in the evening, while the others were warming themselves up and chatting in the small room separated by the wall.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves stamping on the ground outside the door, Mo Yan turned around and saw Xiao Hei's big head sticking into the door, holding a thinly-clad and indistinguishable child in his mouth.

Mo Yan was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to take the child from Xiaohei's mouth, only to find that the child was extremely light. Although he was seven or eight years old, he weighed less than forty kilograms, and his tentacles were all numb. The bones can't feel any flesh at all.

The child was only wearing a gray singlet, and the tattered skin could be seen underneath. The hair was withered, yellow and sparse, forming knots. The covered face was covered with black ash, and it was difficult to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.

"Ah, Xiao Hei, where did you steal this child?" Hearing the noise in the kitchen, Xiner, who was sitting at the door of the small room, was the first to run out, and saw her sister taking it from Xiao Hei's mouth. The child couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Hiss—hiss—" He didn't steal it, he picked it up.

Xiao Hei said aggrievedly, but in Xin'er's ears there was just a low horse cry, and she had no idea what it was saying.

When other people in the small room heard Xin'er's words, they couldn't sit still and ran out to take a look.

Zhen'er took a careful look at it several times and clarified Xiao Hei's "grievance" with one sentence: "This child looks like a beggar. He must have fainted from the cold and was picked up by Xiao Hei after touching him, right?"

Xiao Hei nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would be blamed by the "horse" dealer.

"Dad, go and bring a soft couch. Aunt Li, go and hold a quilt. This child is dying."

Noticing the child's cold body temperature and increasingly weak breathing, Mo Yan didn't care to ask Xiao Hei where he picked up the child. He carried the child into a small warm room and gave instructions to his father and the others.

People's lives were at stake, so Mo Qingze and Li Xiu didn't dare to delay. They agreed and hurriedly moved the soft couch and quilt.

"Yan'er, how is this child? Can he still be saved?" Mo Qingze asked worriedly when Mo Yan withdrew his hand and looked very unhappy.

Mo Yan shook her head, and her voice was unusually depressed: "This child is very exhausted, and now he is suffering from the cold. Whether he can survive it depends on tonight."

She didn't talk too much. If she didn't have space, spiritual spring water and life-saving medicinal materials, she would have absolutely no confidence in curing the child.

He is obviously about the same age as Sheng'er, and should have grown up happily under the love and care of his parents and relatives, but now he is being abused to this extent - yes, it is abuse! Several bones in the child's body were broken, and the exposed arms were even scarred. These injuries were not formed in a day or two, but took at least a year.

She had observed the child's hands. They should be soft and delicate, but the palms were covered with thick calluses, and now they were covered with chilblains. This was because they were either beaten or beaten while begging. When people are under supervision, they have to work non-stop and are constantly beaten, which is why they are like this.

The room fell silent. Looking at the lifeless children lying on the bed, the adults had heavy expressions on their faces, and the younger ones had red eyes. Although they are strangers to each other, any kind-hearted person would feel uncomfortable facing such a tortured child.

"Yanyan, the water is here." Li Xiu's voice broke the dullness in the room. She came in with freshly heated hot water and placed it in front of the soft couch, ready to clean the child.

"Aunt Li, let me do it." Mo Yan took the towel from Li Xiu's hand, soaked it in water and wrung it out, and carefully scrubbed the child's face covered with frostbite and scars.

Not only does the child's face need to be cleaned and applied with medicine, but his body is also covered with old and new scars. He also has many frostbites on his limbs, and the wounds need to be cleaned thoroughly.

It took half an hour and seven or eight basins of water to be changed before the child was completely cleaned. During the whole process, the child did not wake up.

Mo Yan carefully applied the medicine to the child, and then put her into Sheng'er's clothes - the child was a girl, about the same age as Sheng'er.

When the family went to rest at night, the child still didn't wake up, but developed a high fever. His whole body was hot and red, like cooked shrimps.

The child's body was too weak, and Mo Yan didn't even dare to feed her the diluted spiritual spring water, fearing that her body wouldn't be able to support it, so he moved her to his room to take care of her personally.

Feeding water, giving medicine, rubbing the body to cool down... This night was undoubtedly difficult. Mo Yan did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear that if he relaxed, the poor child would not be able to survive it.

Fortunately, this was a very strong child. After the rooster crowed three times, her body temperature finally dropped, her breathing became steady, and her pulse gradually became stronger.

Mo Yan finally felt relieved. Under the urging of Xue Tuanzi and Mao Tuan, she got into bed and fell asleep quickly.

It wasn't until the next day that Mo Yan had time to ask Xiao Hei about the origin of the child. With Xue Tuanzi's translation, she finally knew the whole story.

It turned out that Xiao Hei came back from delivering New Year's gifts to the Liu family. As soon as he left the city gate, he met the child in the snow who had been mostly buried in the snowdrift. The child was still conscious at that time, but she seemed to have some mental problems. When she was discovered by Xiao Hei, apart from shouting for help, she kept crying for her mother and eldest sister to come and save her. She said she was in pain and had no other words. .

Since Xiao Hei was born with spiritual wisdom, his wisdom will also increase with age. According to its current intelligence, it is equivalent to that of a fifteen or sixteen year old boy. Since it thinks there is something wrong with the child's brain, there is a real problem in all likelihood.

Since the child didn't wake up, Mo Yan didn't know how serious the problem was. However, she felt that even if there was something wrong with the child's brain, it probably wasn't born from birth, but had been tortured to this point. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called his mother and eldest sister for help under extreme fear.

Looking at the child who was breathing weakly on the soft couch, Mo Yan asked Xue Tuanzi in his mind: "Don't you know how to observe a person's past and present lives? Look where this child's family is. When she gets better, I will She was sent back to be reunited with her relatives."

Xuetuanzi quickly responded: "I can't tell."

"Can't you see it?" Mo Yan was extremely surprised: "Why can't you see it? Didn't you see it before?"

"This child's mind has been severely traumatized. Apart from some scenes of her being beaten, the rest was just hazy and I couldn't see clearly at all. To find out where she came from, you have to first Just cure her and let her regain her sanity."

Hearing the depression in Xue Tuanzi's voice, Mo Yan couldn't help but feel a little amused and comforted: "It's not that there is a problem with your ability, so don't be unhappy."

Unfortunately, these words not only failed to comfort Xue Tuanzi's fragile heart, but made it even more uncomfortable: "I think back then, I was also a famous weapon spirit in the world of cultivation, and other weapon spirits were no match for me. Hum, if I had it With my own body, let alone finding out the origin of this child, I can even find out the eighteenth generation of her ancestors."

Mo Yan had heard these words so many times, and she agreed in a funny way: "Yes, yes, my Xue Tuanzi is the most capable. Even if you are not in the world of cultivation when you transform, you will be the most powerful weapon spirit in the world."

"Humph, it's good that you know. Be nicer to me in the future and don't always think about bullying me." Xue Tuanzi felt proud and tried his best to retain his "elegant" demeanor. In fact, if there was a tail behind him, he would have been there long ago. It's shaking.

Mo Yan was well aware of Xue Tuanzi's urinary nature and did not attack it again. Although it is a pity that we cannot find out the child's life experience, there is nothing we can do about it. The most important thing right now is to take good care of her body and let her recover her mind as soon as possible. In this way, sooner or later, we can help her find her relatives and send her back. Reunion with loved ones at home.

However, people who abuse children are really hateful. To torture a child like this is obviously not a good thing. Thinking that punishing evil and promoting good can also gain merit, Mo Yan eagerly asked Xue Tuanzi: "You can see the scene of this child being beaten, can you determine who is beating her? Are there other children there who are being abused?" "

When Xue Tuanzi heard this, she knew what her master had planned, and said positively: "Of course I'm sure. I saw those pictures. This child was in a textile workshop. There were many children about her age inside, doing If he is beaten by the supervisor if he fails to finish his work or does something wrong, the child will most likely be unable to bear it and escape."

Having said this, Xue Tuanzi reminded: "If you want to teach those people a lesson, I think you have to find another name. Otherwise, those bad people will just say that they bought the child, and the government will not care about it, and they may bite you back." , said you were hiding their escaped slaves."

Of course, with Mo Yan's current status, it was unlikely that those people would bite her back, but it was impossible to legitimately rescue those children and give them an "unforgettable" lesson. To be able to set up such a large textile workshop in the capital, it is impossible for there to be no one on it. Even if he is concerned about the status of Lord Mo Yan and the future Madam Hou, he will not let Mo Yan "bully" him.

"Well, I won't act impulsively. I will definitely find a way to make those evildoers get the punishment they deserve."

Mo Yan knew that Xue Tuanzi's concerns were right. Although she couldn't suppress the bad breath in her heart, in order to save the children who were still suffering, she could only endure it for the time being and think of a safe way. Not only to save the children there, but also to save the children there. It would be better to make a big deal out of it and serve as a warning to other people who slave and beat children.

In this era, human trafficking was legal, and child labor was even more common. She couldn't stand it and couldn't change the situation, so she could only do her part in another way.

Near noon, the child who had been unconscious for nearly a day and night finally woke up. Just as Xue Tuanzi and Xiao Hei said, the child's mind was damaged. After waking up, other than calling for help, mother and eldest sister, he couldn't say anything else. He didn't even know what his own name was.

Although mentally retarded, the suffering and harm he suffered has been engraved in the child's bones and blood. She was very guarded against the Mo family, and even the youngest Sheng'er was almost hurt by her.

Although she is so thin and has not had a full meal for a long time, the child is surprisingly strong. It is difficult for anyone except Mo Yan to restrain her.

Looking at the shivering child hiding in the corner, Mo Yan covered her bitten wrist, feeling distressed and having a headache, and said to Li Xiu: "Make her a separate vegetable porridge later, and give her one piece at a time. Small bowl, if you eat too much at once your stomach will not be able to bear it.”

"Hey, I understand. Go and treat the wound quickly. Be careful of frostbite." Li Xiuying came down and felt extremely distressed when she looked at the bleeding wound on Mo Yan's wrist.

"Well, I'll go right away. Later, you guys put a brazier in this room and bring two quilts over. Her body is very weak and she can't bear the cold anymore." Mo Yan gave Xiner some more instructions. After doing it once, at the urging of everyone, he returned to the room to clean the wound.

On the way back to the house, Xue Tuanzi made a sarcastic remark: "Tsk, tsk, this little brat looks like a wolf cub. However, if this wolf cub isn't ruthless, he won't be able to escape! You will suffer a loss this time, because your good intentions are not good." Report."

Mo Yan looked at the eight bloody tooth marks on her wrist and said bitterly: "I didn't expect you to be such a snow dumpling! I think you should try to find a way to restore her sanity. She is serious about finding her relatives."

"Hmph, doesn't this remind you to pay attention next time?" Xue Tuanzi was really distressed that his master was bitten. Although it would be fine if he washed it with Lingquan water and applied some medicine, the wound was real and it hurt too much: " Don’t worry, that little girl is not born like this and will gradually get better.”

"Oh, I hope so!"

Tutoring children to do homework is really a headache. Last night, I tutored my little niece from 6:30 to 9:30. My whole body collapsed... The author once again doubted life and felt that we should be cautious when giving birth to children and be responsible after birth. There are too many things...
