Chapter 32

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

Seeing his tears falling from his face, Luo Lan touched his head with some helplessness and asked:

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Has anyone bullied you?"

The little boy lowered his head and shook his head, "No, waiter said, my mother doesn't need to take medicine, she will do it when she dies, but I don't want her to die, I don't want to have no mother, I don't want to be a child without a mother."

His words shocked 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 gently:

"What disease did your mother suffer?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, my mother sometimes has a stomachache, and it will be cured for a while. The pain has become more and more serious these days."

"Don't you have anyone else at home? Where is your father?"

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

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

She patted his shoulder and comforted:

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

The little boy looked up at her, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Sister understands medical skills?"

Luo Lan smiled with her lips pursed, "I understand a little."

"That's great. I've found several doctors, but I don't have the money to pay for the medical expenses, and no one is willing to go. I said I would use the old hen at home, but they disagree. Sister, you're going, can I use chickens as the medical expenses?"

Use chickens as a medical fee?

Luo Lan suddenly felt that the little boy's thoughts were very clear. He knew that he could use things to pay for money at such a young age.

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

The little boy then happily took her hand and prepared to run home.

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

"You go back first, boil the chicken soup, and then take it to the prince when I go back, and keep the pig's trotters for tomorrow."

But A Cai looked at her with some concern, "I'll accompany you, A Hong will do it if she goes back alone."

"Need not."

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

"But……"

A Cai was still a little worried, afraid that something would happen to the princess.

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

"Okay, Ah Hong goes back to make medicine first, Ah Cai will accompany me for a walk."

Hearing this, A Cai smiled only after she put the black chicken in her hand into A Hong's hand, and then she told her a few more words, then she followed Luo Lan and the little boy and walked away quickly.

The little boy told Luo Lan on the way that his name was Xiaozhi and he had never seen his father since he was a child. His mother earned some money to supplement the family income by sewing and sewing for others. She raised three old hens at home and sold the eggs she usually laid for money. Her life was still good at home, but her mother bought him a pen and inkstone, which cost a lot of money.

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

Luo Lan couldn't help asking:

"Are you literate?"

"Know it."

The little boy replied confidently:

"My mother can read, so she taught me to write since she was a child. My mother said that when I grew up, I would get fame, bring her glory, earn money, and let her live a good life. By the way, I can also recite the Three Character Classics, the Analects of Confucius, the Book of Songs, and the Hundred Family Names."

Looking at his arrogant look, Luo Lan suddenly became very interested in his mother.

A woman, with a child, is still literate.

In this era, there were not many women who could read. Generally, women from ordinary people would not be sent to school. Those who could read or read were either officials or wealthy families.

They walked a long way and walked through several alleys. Xiao Zhicai pointed to a dilapidated yard not far away and said:

“There is my home there.”

Looking at the shaky house, Luo Lan admired the woman living here more. She wanted to let her children read in such an environment. She was such a great mother.

The door is open, and I guess it is impossible to see that the thieves will not come here. Besides, there seems to be no difference between closing and not closing.

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

"Mom, I'm back, I'm bringing the doctor."

After a while, a sound came out.

"Didn't you tell me not to find a doctor? You just want to find him. What should I do if you spend all your money next month?"

When she said this, the woman walked out of the room. When she saw Luo Lan, she was stunned at first, and then asked curiously:

"Who is this?"

Xiaozhi explained:

"Mom, this is a girl. She said that we can use our old hen to pay for the diagnosis fee. Just let her take a look, otherwise Xiaozhi will be afraid."

The woman touched Xiaozhi's head, sighed gently, and then said to Luo Lan:

"Then I'll have a hard time."

She lowered her head and said to Xiaozhi:

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

Xiaozhi nodded happily and ran to pour water.

Xiaozhi's mother smiled bitterly at Luo Lan and welcomed her into the room.

This is a house that looks dilapidated but very tidy. Luo Lan stood at the door and looked at it. The woman was embarrassed to tuck the broken hair on her forehead and said softly:

"Sorry, I'm a little messy here, so let's sit there just by girl."

Luo Lan chuckled and shook her head, "No, it's pretty good here, it's so clean."

The woman smiled bitterly, "I made the girl laugh at her. Her family is poor and there are no decent objects."

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

Luo Lan waved her hand and refused:

"I won't drink it anymore, let's take your pulse first!"

The woman shook her head directly, her hands were restlessly kneading each other, and she was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help saying:

"Miss, can I ask you something?"

Luo Lan looked at her in surprise, "Please speak."

The woman pursed her dry mouth, looked up, looked at her with a longing look, and begged in a low voice:

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

"Why?" Luo Lan looked at her in confusion, "I haven't given you a pulse yet, how do you know what disease you have?"

The woman sighed long, "You don't have to look at me, I know that I can't cure this disease, but I don't want him to know. I think I'm making more money during this period. If I really leave in the future, he won't be left."

At this point, the woman's eyes turned red, tears kept falling down her cheeks, and she whispered:
