Mother Lan looked at the pot of still growing grass, sighed and said, "A kind-hearted girl gave this to me two days ago, saying it would help me live for three more days."
"Oh? It seems that girl is really kind-hearted. Most people can't buy it, but she is willing to give it away." Xiao Yang said.
Lan's mother said helplessly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I'll never see that girl again."
Henry Zhang looked at her body: "If there is still a trace of life in your body, I may still have a way to save you, but now there is no life in your body, and I have no way to save you."
Lan's mother laughed at herself: "I know that my body is exhausted. The only thing that I can't let go of is my poor daughter. She is so young. I don't know how she will survive in the future."
She looked at the door over there, her eyes full of sadness.
Henry Zhang didn't speak when he heard this.
If it were placed in that world, he could help her send the little girl to some orphanage. Although there would be no family to accompany her there, at least she could still survive.
But there are no welfare homes in this world, and he can't keep her with him all the time. After all, his purpose of coming here is to solve the Qin family's troubles.
After the Qin family's problem is solved, he will find a way to return there. He can't take her there by then, right?
At this time, Lan Xiaoxi walked in from the door carrying a bowl of water.
Henry Zhang saw her staggering steps. He stood up and took the water from her. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lan Xiaoxi smiled happily.
Henry Zhang drank the water and put the bowl aside.
Lan Xiaoxi came to her mother's bedside and touched her mother's forehead with her little hand: "Mother, are you feeling better today?"
"Mom, I feel much better." Lan's mother looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.
"It's all my fault that Xiaoxi is useless. I went out today and couldn't get the money to buy medicine for my mother's illness. Otherwise, my mother would have gotten better sooner." Lan Xiaoxi blamed herself.
Lan's mother touched her head: "Xiaoxi is already doing great, there's no need to blame yourself."
Lan Xiaoxi looked at her mother: "Mother, when I go to the street tomorrow, I will definitely help you get the money to buy medicine."
Lan's mother touched her head and smiled without saying anything else.
Seeing this scene from the side, Henry Zhang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Because he knew very well that as soon as midnight passed tonight, she would probably be completely gone.
Looking at this little girl again, Henry Zhang felt a little helpless.
Such a young child, who looks no more than five or six years old, does not even have the basic ability to take care of himself. I really don't know how he will survive in the future.
At this time, Lan Xiaoxi said: "Mom, I was almost hit by a big red horse on the street today. Fortunately, this big brother saved me."
Lan's mother smiled and nodded: "I already know, have you thanked big brother?"
Lan Xiaoxi: "Thank you already."
Suddenly, Lan's mother looked slightly stunned: "What did you just say? The big red horse?"
Lan Xiaoxi was confused: "Yes, that horse is so tall, much taller than a person."
"Is the person on the horse holding a spear?" Lan's mother asked hurriedly.
Lan Xiaoxi was surprised: "Mother, how do you know? Did your elder brother tell you?"
Lan's mother was stunned on the spot: "They are from the Iron Hoof Army...how could it be them..."
Henry Zhang asked: “What happened to them?”
Lan's mother looked at him: "My dear friend, I wonder how the man on the horse is doing?"
Henry Zhang: “I was injured.”
"Were you injured?" Lan's mother looked at him in surprise.
Henry Zhang nodded.
Lan's mother said blankly: "It is said that the people of the Iron Hoof Army kill without blinking an eye. The spears in their hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Anyone who offends them will not end well. My dear friend..."
“I’m not afraid of them.” Henry Zhang said.
Lan's mother sighed and turned to look at her daughter beside her: "My benefactor offended the people of the Iron Heel Army in order to save my daughter. I am sincerely grateful, but..."
At this point, her face looked a little complicated and she didn't continue talking.
"But what?" Henry Zhang asked.
Lan's mother sat up with a painful look on her face. She lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Henry Zhang helped her out of bed.
He didn't know what she wanted to do.
Suddenly, Lan’s mother knelt directly in front of Henry Zhang: “My benefactor! I beg you to save my daughter!”
Lan Xiaoxi on the side saw this and knelt beside her mother.
Henry Zhang was stunned: "What are you doing? Let's talk about it later."
As he spoke, he wanted to help her up, but Lan Mu said: "My dear friend, you may not know something. The people of the Iron Hoof Army are all a bunch of beasts. Today, because of the creek, your people were killed."
If you are injured, if they can't find you, they will definitely cause trouble for Xiaoxi later. If you don't save her, Xiaoxi will definitely die. I beg you to save her!"
Seeing what she said, Henry Zhang turned his head and looked at Lan Xiaoxi beside him. He sighed helplessly: "I think so too, but I'm not from here. I just came here to do something.
I will leave here after this is over."
Lan's mother said: "As long as my benefactor can protect the creek, she can work as a maid or servant for you. I just ask you to save her life. Except for you, no one in this world can save her."
Already."
Henry Zhang’s face was complicated.
He really didn't want to carry a girl around because it was very inconvenient.
But seeing Lan's mother like this and looking at Lan Xiaoxi next to him, he still couldn't bear it.
Finally, he had to say: "Well, let's do this. I promise you can take her with you temporarily. If I find a good home later, I will give her to that good home and let them take care of her. I will not let her go."
What do you think about the Iron Hoof Army's men going to find her?"
When Lan's mother heard this, she said happily: "Thank you so much!"
Henry Zhang helped her up: "Get up."
After Lan's mother got up, she said to her daughter beside her: "Xiaoxi, why don't you thank your benefactor quickly?"
Lan Xiaoxi bowed and said, "Thank you, big brother!"
Henry Zhang looked at her with a smile on his face.
Later that night, Lan's mother took her daughter away.
She said to Henry Zhang: "My dear, I know I don't have much time. Please take Xiaoxi out of here tonight, can you?"
Henry Zhang: “Will she be willing?”
Lan’s mother: “I don’t want her to see the way I left at the end.”
Henry Zhang looked at her with some emotion in his heart.
In the end, he had no choice but to nod helplessly.
At night, Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi away after she fell asleep.
He looked back at the half-slope yard behind him and sighed in his heart.
The most painful thing in the world is separation...
