Old Liu Tou also seemed to feel that he had said a little too much, patted the little eunuch's hand holding the pot, and said: "Pour wine, this matter is also a matter of some Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, now we are serving him in the same house, then naturally it is better to be harmonious, you don't have to appreciate this matter, forget it after hearing it!"

"Hey, apprentice listen to the master!"

The little eunuch was beaten by Lao Liu Tou and the back of his hand immediately turned red, but he still poured wine for Lao Liu Tou with a smile, just hoping that Lao Liu Tou was drunk and could say something about the palace, after all, this little eunuch was directly divided by the Internal Affairs Office, and he had never entered the sky with red walls and yellow tiles, and he was full of curiosity about the place where the emperor lived.

But Lao Liu Tou kept silent, only cared about drinking wine and eating side dishes, his mouth seemed to be sealed, until a pot of wine was drunk, he wiped his mouth directly, kicked the black boots on his feet, climbed onto the already hot kang on the side, dragged a shiny dirty quilt, and fell asleep like this.

The little eunuch pursed his lips helplessly, put the leftovers on the table into the food box, wiped the table again, swept the floor, put Lao Liutou's boots next to the charcoal basin, took another pair of soft-soled open cloth shoes and placed them on the side of the kang, then exited the room, carefully covered the door and walked away.

After a while, the old man Liu, who had just been snoring, opened his eyes, his cloudy eyeballs flashed a gleam, glanced at the cleaned room, and closed his eyes again.

Old man Liu may not be drunk if he soaks in the wine vat for a day, but he was ridiculed by Su Peisheng for two sentences today, and he was on fire in his heart, so he complained twice, but he didn't expect to say that he had something to do with Li Fangfujin. Although he knew that he was speechless and closed his mouth, he was still worried that the little lady felt that something was wrong, so he pretended to be drunk and climbed onto the kang.

The little eunuch sent the food box back to the dining room and also went back to the room, but the little eunuch could not live alone in a room like Lao Liu Tou, and on the kang opposite, there were six little eunuchs sleeping on the left and right. At this time, he was playing cards on the kang near the window. Seeing the little eunuch come in, he greeted the little eunuch with a smile, and the little eunuch shook his hand embarrassedly. said: "A few brothers play, my spare money has already let the head of the family go out to marry a daughter-in-law for the second brother!"

"Cut, I really don't understand you, obviously you have been sent to the knife room by the family. Always thinking about home, they have been thinking about you. You're still the eldest son!" A little eunuch who was playing cards spat lightly and said with disdain.

The little eunuch shrugged helplessly, laid out his futon, and lay down on the quilt. Looking at the rooftop, I was fascinated.

....................................

This little eunuch's surname is Han, and he has been in a good family since he was a child, and he once went to school. It's just that later the mother passed away, and the father of the family remarried a daughter-in-law. He, the eldest son, became a thorn in his stepmother's side, not only no longer letting him go to school, but also letting him follow his father around all day to work part-time to earn money.

And the son brought by the stepmother is only less than two months younger than him, but he is held in the hands of the stepmother all day long, and his father always says that men always have to choose their own doors to live, and it is better to come out to work early, save money for him to marry a good daughter-in-law, and then buy a few acres of land, this life is better.

But this little eunuch also knew that the little silver he earned had already been handed over by his father to his stepmother, and even his father was a big son who did not leave it, I was afraid that when he was older, his stepmother would not be able to take out the silver to buy him a house and marry a daughter-in-law, but he didn't care, he thought that the family was harmonious and beautiful, and he didn't care about the silver.

As the days passed, the little eunuch was twelve years old in a blink of an eye, and there was an accident in the family that year, when his father repaired the roof of a large family, he fell down carelessly and broke his waist, although the family lost some silver, and also hired a doctor for his father, saving his life, but it made his father can no longer stand up.

When the main labor force of the family arrived, the life of the head of the family was not easy, but at this time, the stepmother had a child in her belly, and the burden of the family was pressed on his thin little shoulders.

But fortunately, the little eunuch is willing to endure hardships, plus his father is a good person, those uncles and uncles who work together take care of it, and the silver money earned every day is enough for the head of the family to eat, and there are more than ten acres of land in the family.

The stepmother has been working in the field since she broke the door, and the father has picked up everything in the house, and after getting up early and going to the field to finish the work, she will follow the people to the city to do short-term work, and then come back at night to clean up the field, but now the little eunuch's father has fallen, and this work has become the stepmother's, and the stepmother is used to staying at home, and has only been working for two days, so she complains about the sick and refuses to go to the ground.

The little eunuch had no choice, in the end it was his elder, so he had to be busy with the affairs of the family alone, just begging his stepmother to take good care of his father.

Although the stepmother is stingy, but the little eunuch's father is good, and she serves the father on weekdays, wiping her body and feeding, and never shirking it, after more than half a year, the stepmother gave birth to a son, and the little eunuch's motivation is even more sufficient.

It happened that the time for the farm had passed, and there was no work left in the field, so he followed his uncle and uncle, who worked together, into the city, and prepared to find a long-term worker to work, so as to earn more silver and make the family feel better.

But I didn't expect that the little eunuch had just come out for half a month, and the head of the family asked someone to send a letter over, saying that the little eunuch's father was not good, and asked the little eunuch to send some silver back to his father to see his illness, the little eunuch had just entered this person's house to work, not to mention that it was not yet the day of the monthly money, even if the monthly money was paid, it was not enough for the father to see the disease.

The little eunuch had no way, he was sad all day long, he was repairing the garden for the family, and he fell from the rockery without paying attention, and injured his leg, although the fall was not serious, but he also left a lot of blood, and the little eunuch was afraid that the master would find out. Dismissed him, just gritted his teeth and pulled a piece of cloth off his shirt.

At this moment, on the path next to her, a little girl with a small hair combed and a pink and white cheongsam walked by, looking at the bloody legs of the little eunuch, she screamed, and walked over with some fear.

"Why don't you let the doctor come!" the little girl came closer. Look at the wound on the little eunuch's leg. Seeing that the injury was not too deep, he showed a relaxed expression and said softly.

"I'm the one who works. How can I let the master's family invite a doctor, and besides, I am afraid that the master's family will dislike me and hurt me, and then I will be dismissed, so how can the whole family in my family live!" The little eunuch scratched his head. Said a little embarrassed.

The little girl thought about it for a while, and untied a silk veil next to the placket. Carefully wrapped around the little eunuch's wound, and said softly: "I can't think of it, but you can't drag this injury, you wait for me here." I still have some medicine there, and it's not as good as the doctor's fresh, but it's better than this!"

After speaking. The little girl clapped her hands and stood up, and trotted all the way to the end of the path.

The little eunuch was just about to stop him. I only saw the back of the little girl, so I had to sit in place and wait for the little girl to come back.

After a quarter of an hour or so, the little eunuch didn't see the little girl come back, thinking that the little girl was afraid that she would not come back, so she wanted to get up and leave, just took two steps, and saw the little girl running over with a sweat, pouting a little dissatisfied, and said, "Why don't you wait for me, I said I'm going to get you medicine!"

"I thought you were being entangled, so I thought I would go back first, after all, there is still work out there!" the little eunuch blushed embarrassedly and lowered his head.

The little girl smiled heartily, didn't bother with this problem anymore, pulled the little eunuch to sit on the stone on the side, took out a delicate porcelain bottle from her sleeve, handed it to the little eunuch, and said: "This is what I used before, although it has been put for half a month, but it should still be used, you can take some of it yourself, I am a little afraid of blood, so I won't help you get it!"

After speaking, the little girl was still a little embarrassed to stick out her tongue, and when she saw the little eunuch take it, she turned her back, her two little hands were nervously clenched into small fists, her legs were still a little trembling, and she didn't even calm down her breathing.

On such an occasion, when he met such a girl, the little eunuch felt warm in his heart, but he also knew that everyone's rules were strict, so he hurriedly untied the silk veil that the little girl tied to his legs, sprinkled the medicine in the porcelain bottle on the affected area, and tied it again, and then patted the little girl's shoulder, "It's been done!"

"Great, I've been afraid of blood since I was a child, otherwise I'd help you get it, but you can't touch the water with this wound, this is still when I hurt my arm, the old doctor explained, it must be the same for you!

And you have to pay attention to your diet these days, otherwise it may not be easy to get better, when the old doctor explained, I remember a little unclear, but you think about these more, or don't ask others, don't carry it alone. The little girl said like a cannon, and took out a goose-yellow purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand, "Here is a little broken silver, just now I heard you say that your family is not rich, I am afraid that you are also worried about the affairs of the family, so you accidentally fell off."

Originally, I was looking at the flowers over there, so I saw you standing there stupidly, and thought you wanted to find a short time, so I hurriedly ran over.

Although this silver is not too much, it can also be relieved for a while, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't worry too much. ”

Since the death of the little eunuch, no one has ever cared about him like this, even his father only told him to do things well, and never worried about what danger he encountered.

"I can't ask for your money, you better take it back!" the little eunuch hurriedly returned the purse to the little girl's eyes and said.

"It's okay, I don't need any money on weekdays, just pay it back to me when you earn it!" the little girl waved her hand and said indifferently.

The little eunuch was indeed short of money, and when he saw that the little girl refused to accept it, he made up his mind to wait for the salary to be paid, and then return it to the little girl, so he would no longer push with the little girl.

"What's your name, I'll pay you back when I earn the money!" asked the little eunuch hurriedly.

"Do good deeds without leaving a name!" the little girl said casually.

The little eunuch wanted to say something more, so he saw the little girl glance in the direction of the corridor, and hurriedly said, "Someone is looking for me, I'll go first," and trotted all the way around the rockery. Ran to the other side.

The little maid stepped on a pair of strange shoes under her feet, and ran away in a smoke, and the little eunuch looked at it stupidly for a long time, and then carefully put away the purse, and limped back to their temporary residence.

The place where the little eunuch and the others lived was next to a large stable, with a few shiny horses. Every now and then, you snort. Two days ago, the little eunuch and others were curious for a long time.

Back at the place where he lived, the little eunuch found the head of the steward and handed over the day's work. I took half a day off and prepared to go home to take a look.

The head of the steward is also a buddy of the little eunuch's father, and he also knows the news that something happened to the little eunuch's family, and he thinks of the virtue of the little eunuch's stepmother. Then he turned out two strings of copper from his waist and stuffed them into the hands of the little eunuch. said: "Uncle doesn't have the ability to do anything, these are what your aunt gave to your uncle before, you can take it back and block your stepmother's mouth first."

When the work of the family is finished, the wages are settled. Uncle will give you another idea!"

The little eunuch hurriedly shirked, "Uncle, this is for you by your aunt." You gave us the money to buy flower cloth for your eldest sister. How do you explain to your aunt?

Uncle, don't worry, I still have two dollars, she won't embarrass me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight. ”

"That's good, as for not coming back at night, it's not a big deal, just come over early tomorrow!" The head of the steward didn't ask in detail, but just thought it was the little eunuch's own money saved before, so he smiled and patted his chest to vouch.

The little eunuch did not pack up his things, and left the house in a hurry through the corner gate. The little eunuch's home is not too far from the city, but it takes an hour to walk, even if it does not stay at home, it will take two hours to go back and forth, and now the little eunuch has an injury on his leg, and the speed is naturally a lot slower, and the sky is a little dark, before he returns to the village, and before he reaches the door, he hears a burst of crying.

Hearing the bursts of crying, the little eunuch panicked, and hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door of the house, and saw that there were candles lit in the hall, and several figures were busy working, and they looked like they were not good.

"What's the matter?" the little eunuch ran into the house, and saw his father lying in the hall with a door panel, wearing a coarse cloth gown, his hair neatly combed, and a bench in front of his feet, on which was a coarse bowl, and in the bowl there was a little sorghum rice, and three incense sticks were inserted in it, and the smell of incense and candles was exuding.

On both sides of the bench, there were two white candles, one on the left and one on the left, seeing this scene, the little eunuch seemed to understand, and threw himself directly next to his father, looking at his father's pale face and closed eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably.

An uncle next to him who came to help seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly pulled up the little eunuch, persuaded him softly, and told him what had happened these days.

It turned out that a few days ago, there was a heavy rain at home, and my father seemed to have a cold, so my stepmother cooked ginger soup for my father, fed my father to drink, and covered the big quilt to sweat, but after a night, the wind and cold were not only not good, but it also looked a little strict, so my stepmother asked someone to go into the city to ask for a doctor.

The doctor came to take a look, and then prescribed the medicine, although the stepmother still had some silver in hand, but she was reluctant, so she wanted the father to look at it very well, but she didn't expect it to become more and more strict, so she hurriedly asked someone to send the news to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch only felt like a knife in his heart at this time, and he couldn't wait to kill his stepmother to sacrifice his father, and he heard the meaning of helping people, if it wasn't for his stepmother slamming the door and refusing to give his father medicine, his father would not have gone like this.

The stepmother also seemed to notice that the little eunuch's love was wrong, holding the child who was just 100 days old, kneeling directly in front of the little eunuch, and said with a line of snot and tears, "Da Lang, it's not my ruthlessness to be a lady, I really didn't expect it, if I knew that I would let him go like this, even if I sold the house and land, I would be willing!"

The child in his arms seemed to feel the sadness in the room, and he also cried at the top of his throat, and the little eunuch regained some reason.

Yes, even if he kills his stepmother and lets his stepmother bury his father, he will also be arrested by the government, what should the younger brother do, the younger brother is still so young, it is clear that he can't leave people.

"Forget it!" the little eunuch sat on the ground decadently, sighed, looked at the corpse of his father lying on the door panel, and said quietly.

The stepmother then got up. Wiping the tears on his face, seeing that the child kept crying, he hurriedly carried the child into the house to breastfeed.

The little eunuch glanced around the house, but did not see the child brought by the stepmother, and only after asking the helper did he know that the boy had been out for two or three days, and he did not know where he had gone. No one could contact him.

"Uncle. I have some silver here, you can see who has the first longevity in our village, let's borrow a set first. I can't let my dad lie down like this!

It's all because I, who has no ability to be a son, let my father go in such a hurry, and he didn't even prepare new clothes!" The little eunuch hurriedly took out the purse that the little girl stuffed into him from his arms, and rummaged through it and found a silver horn that looked like it weighed one or two. It was delivered to the uncle, and he said softly.

Uncle didn't refuse. I took it directly and walked outside.

The little eunuch looked into the room again, and counted the silver in his purse, which was about ten taels of silver. In addition, there is a pair of gold and jade earrings, which seem to have been temporarily put in by the little girl, which is enough to send Daddy.

But look at what's in this purse. The little eunuch was a little uneasy again, such a large sum of silver. When will he be able to pay it back, I'm afraid that this silver is the little girl's redemption money!

But it's still important to send Daddy at the moment, and what he owes to the little girl can only be paid back slowly.

The little eunuch was busy until the middle of the night, and the uncle asked people to carry a willow longevity material back to Han's house, and took out a set of old clothes from the longevity material, and said: "This is the old Zhang Tou in the east of our village, I saw that his figure is similar to your father's, so I took charge and borrowed it, and the silver was also left to him, so that he could buy another set!"

"Uncle did the right thing, after all, no one's longevity material came for nothing, no matter who he wanted to use, he always had to give someone money.

It's just that I have to trouble my uncle to give me a hand, so that I can change my father's clothes and pass cleanly!" said the little eunuch with tears in his eyes.

The uncle who helped naturally did not shirk it, and the two of them kept sweating, so they changed the old clothes for the father, and put the longevity material in the position where the door panel was placed before, and re-lit the incense candles.

The people who came to help saw that they were almost done, so they took their leave, saying that they would come back tomorrow.

The little eunuch was alone, kneeling in front of his father's longevity, tears rolling in his eyes, but they never fell, just people could see the sadness in his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, the sky outside was bright again, and the little eunuch's stepmother came out of the room again, wearing a filial piety dress and a hairpin ring on her head, only a white flower on the sideburns, dressed as a surviving person.

As soon as the stepmother walked out of the room, she was stunned when she saw the willow coffin in front of her, and said, "Da Lang, where did you get the silver?

The little eunuch's heart slipped a trace of displeasure, but he didn't save his stepmother's face, and said in a deep voice: "When I came back, I borrowed some money from others, I originally wanted to treat my father, but I didn't expect it to ......."

"Da Lang, I didn't say you, how can people like us use such good longevity materials, and save the silver to marry your daughter-in-law!" the stepmother gushed endlessly, not noticing the little eunuch's increasingly ugly face.

"Mother, it's my own father who is lying here, your husband, how can you say such a thing, my father has worked hard all his life, shouldn't I let my father go decently!

Besides, this silver was borrowed by my eldest husband, and naturally my eldest lang will pay it back, so I won't let my mother suffer!" the little eunuch stood up with an unhappy face and said in a deep voice.

The stepmother also realized that now was not the time to say this, so she rubbed her hands and said, "Da Lang, you are right, I thought about it for a while. ”

"Hmph, I'll leave this place to my mother to guard, I'll go and talk to the uncle next door about something!" After saying that, the little eunuch left without looking back, because he was really afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would be unable to restrain himself from beating his stepmother to death. (To be continued)

ps:ps: Wanxin said that Dalang has been tragic since ancient times, when Wanxin asked his stepmother to call Dalang, Wanxin couldn't help but complain about himself in his heart, although he also wanted to name this poor little eunuch, but when he thought that the ancient farmers didn't even know the words, how could they take a name, so he could only endure it silently.

The first wave of brainstorming: Who is the little girl that Han Jialang met? Is it the Li family? Or is it the heroine?
