Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

Shen Yi and the others listened to what Waiyamo said, and they all focused on waiting for his next words.

The grandma didn't keep them waiting, and he continued: "We were always afraid that something might happen to that little brother when we were on the way, because his condition really looked very bad. But fortunately, he We didn't pass out until we got to the inn, but even if he passed out, he still held the baby tightly with both hands. We couldn't bring the baby directly, so we had to ask the doctor to show him the injury. .Fortunately, his injury was on his shoulder, so it doesn't affect the doctor much if he holds the baby."

Speaking of this, Grandma touched Liu Shu's shoulder again, and said to him: "You don't know, you were still in your infancy at that time, but you have always been very well-behaved. Ever since we met that brother, we have been living there When you entered the inn, you didn't cry much. You fell asleep at the beginning, but you woke up when you arrived at the inn. But you didn't cry, you just kept pinching your fingers. I think you You must be hungry, so I asked the waiter at the inn to bring you milk and fruit. When I fed it to you, you were in a hurry to eat, and I knew you were really hungry just by looking at it."

Grandma Wai went on to say: "At that time, I saw your appearance and I liked it very much. You were about a few months old at that time. You looked very cute, and the most striking thing was the very bright blessing on your forehead." It was printed. Your father and I really rarely saw such a bright blessing seal at that time. It was relatively rare in our village and town. It was only when we went to Xingcheng that we saw a little more, but that’s all. A few, not many at all. Although we are in the countryside, we also know that generally those with bright blessings and seals will marry well. After a long time like this, it is rare to see young brothers with bright blessings and seals like ours Now, and those little brothers with bright blessing seals will definitely not be bad at birth."

Grandpa took over the conversation at this time and said: "Yes, so your father and I knew that the injured little brother must be a servant of a rich family when we saw your blessing at the time. And he suffered so hard. Injury, he was the only one taking you with him, so something must have happened to your family. So when I saw that little brother was injured so badly, I was very worried."

Grandma continued what Grandpa said: "After I fed you, the doctor also checked the wound and applied medicine. But the doctor finally took the pulse and told us that this person's wound is too big, and the whole body The night passed, the blood flowed too much, maybe he couldn't cure it. He can only hang it for a while now, if he can have expensive wound medicine and blood-replenishing things, he might still survive, otherwise he will die. We can only resign ourselves to fate. At that time, we were overwhelmed by the news and didn't know what to do."

Grandpa said again: "Yes, at that time we didn't have any money, and that little brother fainted again. We didn't have any money to hire a better doctor, let alone buy expensive medicine and blood supplements. Fortunately, the doctor applied medicine to his wound, and then we decocted the medicine juice and poured it into him, so that he woke up after a whole day. Then he told us about the general situation."

Grandpa went on to say: "He followed the master's family to Xingcheng when he encountered bandits. Then most of the servants were killed. The master asked him to take the child and leave quietly first when the master saw that the situation was wrong, because the master The carriage was watched by bandits, so it was difficult for the owner to get away. The carriage where they got off was a lot looser, and the child happened to be in their carriage because he had to change his diaper. Go back to the master's carriage, so when the master is taking advantage of the confusion, let him take the child."

Grandpa said that he was thirsty here, so he stopped to drink water.Wai Ah Mo continued: "Because of the urgency at that time, everyone thought it was a bad luck. So I thought I could go one by one. So when the servants in their carriage took advantage of the confusion to cover him and let him hold the child When he was leaving, he started running without hesitation. Because he knew that he had to protect the young master first. However, he was still discovered by the bandits, and he was hacked while chasing him. Fortunately, at this time, there was The only remaining servant came to help him block the bandits, so he endured the severe pain of the wound, and quickly ran away with the child in his arms."

Grandma Wai said: "Because it was night, he couldn't see the road clearly, and even if he could see clearly, he didn't recognize him. So he just kept running forward, not knowing that the direction he was running was already far away. He strayed off the road, so he ran to the road from Xingcheng to Qingcheng. Fortunately, he met our carriage before he couldn't hold on, and then we arrived in Qingcheng with us."

Wai Ah Mo continued: "At that time, I also knew that my injury was too serious. The main reason was that he ran so far after being injured, so he bled too much, and he must not be able to survive. Now he I don't know if the master's family escaped from danger. He also had no way to take care of the young master, so he planned to entrust the child to us. At that time, because he escaped in a hurry, he didn't prepare any money. He had about three dollars in his purse. 40 taels of silver and some copper plates. There is also the jade pendant that the child carries to represent his identity."

Wai Ah Mo said to Liu Shu at this point: "I heard from that little brother that your biological father's surname is Hua, and he was an official. He passed by Xingcheng that time to take up the post. That little brother just took the post. You entrusted him to us, and then handed over his silver and this jade pendant to us. Then let us take good care of you in the future, just help him bury him when he dies, and keep the silver to support you. Although there are not many, but he has nothing to do. He also specifically mentioned the jade pendant, saying that it is your status symbol. If someone comes to look for it, he will show the jade pendant. If you are an official, you will die before you have time to talk about the following things."

Liu Shu said, "So the rest of the situation is not clear?"

Grandma Wai replied: "Yes! After the little brother passed away, we found a suburb with better scenery to bury him, and bought a coffin with the money he gave. We were afraid that someone would come I was looking for you, so I stayed in the inn for several days. But I didn’t wait, and I didn’t hear any rumors in Qingcheng. So we thought it must be because your family had an accident in Xingcheng, There may be very few people here in Qingcheng. But we can’t wait here forever. And that little brother only knows about the bandits they encountered when passing through Xingcheng, but he can’t say where exactly. Clear. Not to mention that he has been running around for a long time without knowing the direction, so we have no way to find it. In the end, we really have no choice but to take you home first. If your family finds you That's good, if we don't find you, we will treat you as a child of our family."

When Shen Yi and the others heard this, they said, "So, has no one come here all this time?"

The grandfather replied: "Yes, we told the family about the situation after we got home. But we waited for a long time but no one came. I think they really didn't think that the child would be brought back by us." If they went to Qingcheng, they would definitely not find it in Xingcheng. We also had no way to go to Xingcheng to find someone. We didn't know who the other party was. After a long time, we didn't give up hope. So the family members treat the child as their own. At that time, when we took your father home, we hid from people, so the people in the village didn’t know about it, and we will be sure that there will be no one in a short time. We found it, and we told the outside world that your grandma was pregnant, but she was not in good health, so she kept resting at home. It was not until more than a year, two years later that your grandma's health improved, and it was also Your father took him out of the house when he was about three years old. The difference between a three-year-old child and a two-year-old child is not too big, so no one doubts it. In this way, your father treats him as a child of our family. The Liu family has grown up."

Grandma Wai went on to say: "Actually, we were a little selfish at the time. Because we liked you so much, and we always wanted a little brother. So after taking care of you for a while, we were even more reluctant. At that time, if we used The money left by your servants will take you to Xingcheng to look for your relatives, maybe you can find them too. But because we really want you to be our child, we have been hesitant to leave. Like this If so, Xiaoshu, would you blame us?"

Liu Shu hugged Father and said, "How can I blame you! If I hadn't met you and Father at that time, then I would not have survived. And you don't know anything about my relatives, you just know A surname, how do you find it. And they don’t live in Xingcheng, they just pass by. This is even more difficult.”

After listening to Liu Shu's words, Grandma Waai breathed a sigh of relief.Then he said: "So now it seems that you may really be from the Hua family that the Fang family knows. Do you think there are words engraved on this jade pendant of yours? We don't know the words, and we dare not Take out such a precious jade pendant for others to see. So I never knew what was engraved on it."

Shen Yi took the jade pendant to look at it, and then said to everyone: "This jade pendant is engraved with words on both sides, one side should be my father's surname, which is a Chinese character, and the other side may be a name, which is a Yu character. So it seems that my father's name should be Hua Yu."
