Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63: Unfortunate siblings

Views:

On the way to Hu Jingran's home, Han Lizheng introduced the situation of their home to Li Zexuan.

The Uncle Hu mentioned by Tiedan, whose real name is Hu Hanyun, and people in the village call him Lao Hu. He used to be a blacksmith and a soldier. He moved to Hanjiazhuang ten years ago. Hu Hanyun's wife was someone he met after coming to Hanjiazhuang. Her name was Liu Yuee. She was considered a beauty in the village when she was young, but she had a very fierce personality.

"Master, in fact, this old Hu is actually a poor man." Han Lizheng suddenly sighed heavily.

Li Zexuan asked in confusion: "Oh, Uncle Han, why is he so pitiful?"

"Well, back then Lao Hu also fled from the north and fled to our Hanjiazhuang. He was generous and righteous, and he could talk to everyone. It didn't take long for him to take root in Zhuangzi. Later, he finally married Liu Yue'e, and everyone thought His good days were coming. Who knew that Liu Yue'e's first child, namely Ying Ran, was born more than a month later, and everyone discovered that the girl was born blind.

Lao Hu's family didn't have much money, so in order to raise money, he worked as a peddler and did everything. Then he took his daughter to basically all the medical clinics in Chang'an, but no one could cure the child's eyes. . "

"Ah? This child Hu Jingran is a blind girl?" Li Zexuan said in surprise.

He had met Hu Hanyun before, and he felt that this man had a carefree temperament, but he didn't expect that he was still burdened with such a heavy misfortune.

"Well, Master, this is not the worst. Later, Liu Yue'e gave birth to a son, Hu Guoran. Although the child was healthy when he was born, slowly, the couple found that the child reacted very slowly and spoke very strangely. Slow down, the doctors all said that this child was a bit stupid. Someone in Zhuangzi advised Lao Hu to send this stupid boy to the temple. Lao Hu disagreed and said that even if his son was a fool, he would have to support him for the rest of his life. "

After Han Lizheng finished speaking, he shook his head with a sad look on his face.

Li Zexuan was silent for a while after listening. In this era, the medical conditions are definitely not as good as those in later generations, and the people in this era are even poorer, so misfortunes of one kind or another will always happen.

Alas, even though the world is at peace, the people are still suffering!

The two walked for a while, and Han Lizheng stopped, pointed to a dilapidated farmyard in front of him, and said, "Master, we're here. That's Old Hu's house in front of us."

Li Zexuan took a look and found that the courtyard was even more dilapidated than that of Han Lizheng's house. There was a low courtyard wall surrounded by reeds and bamboo sticks, and there were several dilapidated huts inside, which showed that this family lived in poverty.

Han Lizheng came to the courtyard gate and shouted inside: "Old Hu, open the door quickly, the young master is here."

Li Zexuan watched Han Li calling the door from behind, and suddenly wanted to laugh, because this scene was very similar to a joke from his previous life, "Fellow, open the door quickly and check the water meter!"

Fortunately, he has better endurance, otherwise he would have laughed.

At this time, a woman's voice came from the yard: "Come, come, is Han Lizheng here?"

Li Zexuan recognized it. It was Liu Yue'e's voice. He had heard it during the mobilization meeting at noon.

The courtyard door opened, and it turned out to be the fat Liu Yue'e. He just heard Han Lizheng say that she was a flower in the village when she was young. Li Zexuan took a closer look and found that her facial features were pretty good, but the years had left traces on her face. There were too many traces, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot over the years. But why is she so fat? Do women tend to gain weight when they reach middle age

"Li Zheng, are you here? Oh, isn't this the young master? The young master is here too, come in and sit in the room." He said and hurriedly came over to pull Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan quickly stepped aside and said, "Hello Aunt Liu, we are here to meet the Hu Jingran siblings. Are they at home?"

After hearing this, Liu Yue'e looked confused: "Master, what did you see these two children doing? I'm afraid these two children are ignorant, lost their etiquette, and bumped into the young master."

Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Aunt Liu, it's okay. Why would I care about these two children? Am I such a petty person? I heard Uncle Han talk about these two children today. I happen to know a famous doctor. Let’s take a look at these two children, and I’ll ask the doctor later to see if there’s any cure.”

When Liu Yue'e heard this, a huge surprise rushed straight to her head. She breathed quickly, stared at Li Zexuan with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Young... Young Master, you mean, we... our family is actually like Guoran, and... still... Any help?"

"Aunt Liu, I didn't say that she could definitely be saved. I have to see the specific situation to find out."

"Okay, okay, I'll take the young master to see them right now. Young master, come with me." Liu Yue'e couldn't wait to take Li Zexuan in.

"Ahem, Yue'e, why isn't Lao Hu at home?" Han Lizheng asked from the side at this time.

Only then did Liu Yue'e remember that there was Han Lizheng next to her, and she quickly turned around and replied: "Our boss has gone to the fields. It seems that the cattle rented by the village today can have our turn, so the boss went to the fields in advance to guard them."

Han Lizheng nodded in realization.

When several people entered the yard, Li Zexuan saw a group of chickens in the yard, about a dozen of them. There were two children standing next to the chickens.

The older girl was about seven or eight years old and skinny. Li Zexuan even suspected that the girl did not weigh forty pounds. The girl's facial features are quite delicate, but her lackluster eyes somewhat ruin the beauty.

The little boy was slightly fat, about six or seven years old. He was squatting on the ground, supporting his chin with his hand, and was mumbling something to the chickens. He didn't know what he was talking about, but he was still laughing after he finished speaking.

Seeing that her son was embarrassed in front of the young master, Liu Yue'e shouted angrily: "Sure enough, come here and see the young master, and unexpectedly, you are here too!"

When the little boy heard the cry, he stood up, turned his head, smiled at Liu Yuee and said, "Mom..."

After saying that, he didn't run over directly, but turned around and took the bamboo stick in the girl's hand, and walked over with the girl.

Li Zexuan looked at his actions and raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"As expected, as expected, say hello to the young master!" Seeing her son and daughter coming over, Liu Yue'e said to them.

Hu Jingran said politely: "Hello, young master!"

Although she couldn't see it, the direction of her salute was actually facing Li Zexuan!

Li Zexuan was also a little surprised, but what surprised him even more was the girl's temperament, which was calm and unruffled. Standing next to her, it was like standing on a calm lake. This girl, at such a young age, is probably even more indifferent than those monks.

Hu Guoran chuckled at this moment, scratched the back of his head, and said with a silly smile: "Hey...hey, as expected...I've...met...Young...Master."

This child's enunciation is really slow, and it's really hard to watch this child speak. Also, what Hu Guoran said, coupled with his name, made Li Zexuan feel a little weird!
