Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

The little boy looked up at her, then pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.

Seeing his tears dripping down his face, Luo Lan couldn't bear to touch his head and asked:

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

The little boy lowered his head and shook his head, "No, Xiao Er said, my mother doesn't need to take medicine, she just waits until she dies, but I don't want her to die, I don't want to be without a mother, I don't want to be a child without a mother .”

His words stunned Luo Lan, and his words made her feel even more sour.

A motherless child is the most pitiful person in the world.

She patted the child on the shoulder and asked softly:

"What's wrong with your mother?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, my mother just has a stomach ache sometimes, and it will be fine after a while, but the pain has become more and more serious these days."

"Is there no one else in your family? Where's your father?"

The little boy pursed his lips and shook his head, "My father didn't know where he went, he probably died, my mother refused to say, if my mother dies again, I will be the only one in the family."

Speaking of this, the little boy's tears fell down, and Luo Lan's heart felt sour. As a medical worker, she couldn't ignore such things.

She patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Where is your mother? Take me to see."

The little boy looked up at her and asked with wide eyes, "Sister knows medicine?"

Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "Understanding."

"Great, I have already found several doctors, but I have no money to pay the consultation fee, no one is willing to go, I said to use the old hen at home, but they disagree, sister, you go, I can use the chicken As a consultation fee?"

Use chickens for medical fees?

Luo Lan suddenly felt that the little boy's thoughts were very clear, he knew how to exchange things for money at such a young age.

She nodded and chuckled, "Okay, I agree."

Only then did the little boy happily hold her hand, ready to run home.

Luo Lan turned back to A Cai and A Hong and said:

"You guys go back first and boil the chicken soup. I'll serve it to the prince when I go back. Save the pig's trotters for tomorrow."

Ah Cai looked at her worriedly, "I'll accompany you, Ah Hong can go back alone."

"Need not."

Luo Lan shook her head directly, "I'll be back in a while, you go back and wait for me."

"But……"

A Cai was still a little worried, for fear that something might happen to the princess.

Seeing this girl's stubborn temper, she could only say to Ah Hong:

"Okay then, Ah Hong will go back to brew the medicine first, and Ah Cai will accompany me for a walk."

Hearing this, A Cai finally showed a smile on her face. She stuffed the black-bone chicken in A Hong's hand, and told her a few words, and then walked away quickly with Luo Lan and the little boy.

On the way, the little boy told Luo Lan that his name was Xiaozhi, and he had never met his father since he was a child. His mother earned some money by sewing for others to supplement the family. There were three old hens at home, and the eggs they usually laid were also taken away. Selling money, the family's life is still decent, but it's a big expense for his mother to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones for him.

He muttered all the way, and he seemed to be a very talkative child.

Luo Lan couldn't help asking:

"Are you literate?"

"I know."

The little boy replied directly and confidently:

"My mother can read and write, so she taught me to write since I was a child. My mother said that when I grow up, I will get fame and fame, win her glory, earn her money, and let her live a good life. By the way, I can also recite the Three Character Classic. The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Songs, and hundreds of surnames."

Seeing his arrogant face, Luo Lan suddenly became very interested in his mother.

A woman, with a child, is still literate.

In this era, there were not many literate women, and women from common people's families would not be sent to schools. Those who could read and write were either officials' ladies or rich families' girls.

They walked a long way, passing through several alleys, Xiao Zhi pointed to a dilapidated courtyard not far away and said:

"There is my home."

Looking at the crumbling house, Luo Lan felt a little more admiration for the woman living in it. In such an environment, she still had to teach her children to read. She was really a great mother.

The door was open, and it was estimated that the place was so poor that thieves would not come, and besides that door, it didn't seem to make much difference whether it was closed or not.

As soon as Xiao Zhi entered the courtyard, he began to shout:

"Mother, I'm back, and I brought the doctor here."

After a while, a voice came out from inside,

"You child, didn't you tell you not to look for a doctor? You just look for it. What should you do if you run out of pen, ink and paper next month?"

When she said this, the woman came out of the room. She was taken aback when she saw Luo Lan, and then asked curiously:

"Who is this?"

Xiao Zhi hurriedly explained:

"Mother, this is one of the girls. She said that we can use our old hen's medical fee. Just let her have a look, otherwise Xiao Zhi will be afraid."

The woman touched Xiao Zhi's head, sighed softly, and then said to Luo Lan:

"Then there is a girl named Lao."

She lowered her head again and said to Xiao Zhi:

"You go pour another sister a glass of water, and the mother and the doctor come into the room to talk."

Xiaozhi nodded cheerfully, and then ran to pour water.

Xiao Zhi's mother gave Luo Lan a wry smile, and welcomed her into the room.

This is a dilapidated, but very tidy room. Luo Lan stood at the door and looked around. The woman tucked the broken hair on her forehead in embarrassment, and said softly:

"Sorry, it's a bit messy here, girl, just sit down."

Luo Lan smiled lightly and shook her head, "No, this place is pretty good, really clean."

The woman smiled wryly, "I made the girl laugh, the family is poor, and there are no decent things."

While talking, she sat at the table, poured Luo Lan a glass of water, and pushed it in front of her, "Miss, please drink water."

Luo Lan waved his hand and refused:

"Stop drinking, let's check your pulse first!"

The woman shook her head directly, her hands kneaded each other restlessly, after a long silence, she finally couldn't help but said:

"Girl, can I ask you something?"

Luo Lan looked at her in surprise, "Please tell me."

The woman pursed her dry mouth, raised her head, looked at her with longing eyes, and begged in a low voice:

"I beg the girl to tell Xiaozhi directly, is my illness all right?"

"Why?" Luo Lan looked at her puzzled, "I haven't checked your pulse yet, how do I know what's wrong with you?"

But the woman sighed for a long time, "You don't need to look at me to know that my disease is incurable, but I don't want him to know, I want to earn more money during this time, and I will really leave in the future. He doesn't have anything to rely on."

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes were red, tears kept falling down her cheeks, and she said softly:

"Xiao Zhi is a careful child. When he saw that I was suffering, he would run to the doctor. If the doctor couldn't find it, he would go and buy me medicine. I didn't listen, so I can only beg you, the girl."
