When Tiehu picked up Ning Hai, he found that he was particularly light, not much different from his son who died of illness, and couldn't help feeling distressed.
Ning Hai knew that he had been rescued, and then fainted with confidence.
Tiehu carried Ning Hai to a nearby medical clinic, and the doctor was also a man of medical ethics. Seeing Ning Hai’s appearance and clothes, he didn’t ask much, and after getting the pulse, he just said: “This child has nothing serious, but he is starving. When I go back, I will make him something delicious and I will be able to raise it back soon.” Even if he didn't even open the prescription, I was afraid that Tiehu would leave the child behind because he had to spend money.
After finishing speaking, he watched Tiehu's lips turn blue and said, "Hurry up and give him a bowl of ginger soup when I go back, otherwise he will easily catch cold."
Hearing this, Tiehu said, "Doctor, my home is in the mountains. It takes two days to get home from here." When he gets home, he will make ginger soup for him. The day lilies are cold.
After finishing speaking, Tiehu said, "Doctor, don't worry, I will pay." A bowl of ginger soup doesn't cost much money, it's much cheaper than grabbing medicine.
The doctor nodded, and ordered the medicine boy to go to the backyard to make ginger soup: "Put some brown sugar in it." Brown sugar is a rare thing, and ordinary people don't have it.
After the brown sugar ginger tea was boiled, the doctor pinched Renzhong in Ninghai. Seeing him awake, the doctor said: "Drink this bowl of ginger tea soon, or you will get sick."
Ning Hai could not understand what the doctor said, but he could guess what it meant by looking at the actions. After receiving the brown sugar ginger tea, he drank it mouthful. After drinking a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, Ning Hai felt his whole body warm.
The doctor looked at Ning Hai's thin clothes, and said to the medicine boy who was following him: "Bring your old padded jacket over and put it on him."
Seeing Yaotong's reluctance, the doctor said, "I will let your auntie make a new set for you in two days." This Yaotong is actually the doctor's nephew.
Yaotong got this promise, so he went to the backyard and took out the old quilted jacket.
Ning Hai said to the doctor gratefully, "Thank you." There are still good people in this world.
The doctor was stunned when he heard what he was speaking in Mandarin, and then asked, "Are you from Beijing?"
Ning Hai hesitated and nodded, "Yes."
The doctor's complexion changed slightly, and then he also replied to Ning Hai in Mandarin: "The two yamen who escorted the prisoners were killed the other day. The government has issued wanted warrants for these prisoners and posted pictures of some prisoners. Children. , Don’t speak mandarin anymore, or the government will catch you back.” No matter what crimes the child’s parents commit, the child is innocent. What's more, how could such a wise child be a wicked person.
Ning Hai didn't see the two corpses of Yacha, thinking they had run away. Unexpectedly, he was also killed by bandits. Hearing this, Ning Hai said hurriedly: "My mother and sister-in-law were both killed by bandits. Those two yachas must have been killed by bandits."
The doctor actually knows that there is a difference, but what about it: "Child, the government dare not provoke the bandits, they will only plant the blame on you." Persimmons are squeezed, they will only take responsibility in order to avoid responsibility. Pushed on those who are unable to resist. .
Ning Hai was trembling with anger.
The doctor said softly: "If you want to live, don't let people know that you are an escaped criminal."
Tiehu listened to the two of them talking, but he couldn't understand half of the sentence: "Doctor, you can ask where is this kid's family? In this way, I can also send him home."
The doctor sighed and said: "His family is dead, and he is left alone. He is now homeless, and I don't know if this child can survive this winter." He couldn't take in Ning Hai himself. Naturally, he wouldn't say let Tiehu take it in.
Ning Hai calmed down between the two talking, "Doctor, I want to wash my face."
Yaotong got the order and took him to the backyard to get hot water for him. After washing his face and hands, the original clear water in the tub became black.
Tiehu asked the doctor: "How much does it cost?"
The doctor felt sorry for Ning Hai's experience and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, but a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water. If you are interested, take this child out for a bite to eat!"
"Good." I didn't expect this doctor to be so kind. I knew it, that day I should have brought my son here to see a doctor.
While talking, Ning Hai washed clean and walked out.
Tiehu was stunned when he saw Ning Hai's appearance. After a while, he cautiously yelled, "Quier..."
In fact, Ning Hai and Tie Kui have only three to four facial features, but Tie Kui's face is not only thin but also sallow. Ning Hai has suffered so many crimes and is now too skinny, and because of lack of nutrition, his face is sallow and sallow.
Ning Hai looked at Tiehu in a puzzled manner.
Tiehu returned to his senses and asked the doctor excitedly: "You just said that his family is dead, right?"
The doctor didn't know why, but he nodded and said, "Yes, his family is dead, and he is the only one left."
Tiehu walked over and hugged Ning Hai, and said excitedly: "Quier, go home with Dad."
Ning Hai was still at a loss when he was picked up, and then he looked at the doctor: "Why did he pick me up?"
The doctor probably guessed that the other party wanted the child to be his son, but this is a good thing: "He said he wants to take you home. Child, follow him home! If not, you will freeze to death if you don’t starve to death. "Every year there are dozens of beggars in their town who freeze to death and starve to death.
Although he has medical skills, he usually earns only enough money to support his family. Occasionally, it’s okay to be kind, but I can’t raise a half-year-old child.
Seeing Ning Hai nodding, the doctor reminded him again: "Remember, don't speak Mandarin again."
Ning Hai nodded and said, "I know, thank you doctor."
After Tiehu took Ning Hai away, the doctor said in a low voice: "Creating evil." He was killed by bandits, and he was charged with killing Yachai. Today's government knows that they exploit the people and become grandchildren when they encounter bandits.
Tiehu took the doctor's words to heart, and took Ninghai to a noodle restaurant after he left the hospital. Because his son was sick all the year round and knew that he was weak and couldn't eat heavy-tasting food, he ordered a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles for Ninghai.
For more than four months, Ninghai has either eaten steamed buns and gruel, or ate cold and hard flatbread dumplings with wild vegetables. He almost forgot what the noodles tasted.
But even if the noodles were placed in front of him, he didn't eat them, but pushed the noodles to Tiehu.
Tiehu ironed the post in his heart, this kid is a caring one. Recognizing him as a son, he will definitely be filial to himself in the future: "You eat, I want another bowl."
Ning Hai lowered his head and began to eat the noodles that Tiehu called.
A large bowl of noodles, Ning Hai was full after only half of it. The rest was eaten by Tiehu.
At this time, the sky was already a bit dark. If Ninghai hadn't been there, Tiehu would have rushed back. But with a child, it is not suitable to hurry up at night.
Also reluctant to live in the inn, the place is too expensive. One night is enough for two people to eat noodles for a day.
Iron Tiger often comes to the town to buy prey and is familiar with it. He took Ning Hai out of town and settled in a collapsed house.
Seeing Tiehu going out, Ning Hai also followed. Even if Tiehu refused, he insisted. Finally, Tiehu took him back to pick up a pile of firewood outside.
After eating and drinking, the whole body was warmed by the fire, and a burst of sleepiness soon hit.
Tiehu saw his sleepiness and said, "Go to sleep, I'm here to guard you."
Although he could not understand what Tiehu said, he could see the concern and love of the other party. At this moment, he was too sleepy to open his eyes, so he leaned on Tiehu and fell asleep.
Tiehu took off his outer clothes and covered Ning Hai's body.
The next day, Tiehu went to the town to buy two large bags of things, and then took Ning Hai home.
Ning Hai was not surprised when he went up the mountain. Because Tiehu's dressing shows that he is a hunter. But at this time he only asked for a place to stay and have a bite to eat, and others did not dare to ask for more.
After walking for a long time, Tiehu was very happy to see that Ning Hai followed without a bitter cry and yelled tiredly: "Take a rest, eat something and continue on the road."
In the evening, they spent the night in a wooden house built on a tree. This kind of wooden house is built by hunters in the mountains. There are a lot of bears, blind and big insects in the mountains, so it is safer to live on trees. Fortunately, Ninghai didn't have a fear of heights, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Tiehu touched Ning Hai's head and said, "Boil it for a while, and I will make it for you when I get home."
Ning Hai thought for a while, took a branch and wrote a line on the ground, meaning that he could not understand what Tiehu was saying.
Tiehu's face changed slightly, he did not expect Ning Hai to be literate. You know, only rich people in this area send their children to school.
Seeing Tiehu's expression, Ning Hai knew that he could not read. After being unable to communicate, he decided to learn the language here, thinking about living with them in the future.
It took a long time for Tiehu to understand what Ning Hai meant, and immediately said happily, "Okay." His willingness to learn from them indicated his willingness to integrate into their home.
The next day Mengmengliang, the two set off again. This time, it only took a long time to arrive.
Pointing to the house hidden among the trees, Tiehu smiled and said, "That is our home."
Ning Hai followed, "Our house."
"Yes, our house." This kid is so smart and learns fast. After only half a day, I have learned a lot of their words.
When he approached the house, Ning Hai discovered that the house was built with stones. Such a house is very strong. On both sides of the house, there are four low houses built of wood.
Hearing the sound, two girls walked out of the room. The two girls were dark-skinned and wore thin autumn clothes with straw sandals on their feet.
Looking at the dresses of the two girls, you know that the family is very struggling. In this case, Uncle Tie brought him back, and Ning Hai was particularly moved. .
The two girls were a little dumbfounded when they saw Ning Hai. Soon, the taller girl shouted: "A-niang, A-niang, come out quickly, and Dad will bring her brother back."
Tie Kui died of illness half a month ago and was buried on the back mountain. Tiehu’s wife, Jin, spent ten days in bed for this, and only got up three days ago. But as long as she mentioned her son, her tears followed the broken beads.
Upon hearing this, she thought that her husband had dug up the body of her son, and immediately dropped the firewood in her hand and ran out. As a result, as soon as he left the house, he saw Ning Hai standing beside Tiehu.
Seeing the short, dark and miserable Jin family, Ning Hai felt that he was really not a good match for Tiehu.
Jin rushed over and hugged Ning Hai tightly in his arms: "My son, my son..."
Ning Hai was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
Tiehu's eyes were also a little wet: "Xiao Cui, go in, I have something to tell you."
Hearing Tiehu said that he was picking up Ninghai in the town, Jin said: "He is my Quer, this is the guil of God who sent us back."
No matter what Tiehu said, the Jin family believed that Ning Hai was her son Tiekui.
Tiehu had no choice but to find Ning Hai and said to him, "Would you like to be my son?"
Unfortunately, Ning Hai did not understand this.
Tiehu sighed when he saw this, and touched Ning Hai's head and said, "Forget it, you will be my Quer from now on." His mother-in-law now feels that her son has been lost and recovered, forcing her to believe that this child is not Quer, or she will be crazy. Lost. The son is gone, he doesn't want to lose his wife anymore. It just happened that the child didn't go anywhere, so he became his son.
In this way, Ning Hai became Tie Kui inexplicably. When he learned about it later, he didn't object. Tiehu had a life-saving grace for adopting him, so he repaid his kindness at that time.
When eating at noon, Ning Hai saw that he and Tiehu were egg noodles, while Jin and his two daughters were eating pumpkin gruel, and he couldn't help frowning at the moment.
The iron tiger is the main force of the family, and eating well is due. He is a foreigner, how can he eat better than his master's.
Ning Hai insisted on a bowl of noodles for four people. Although Jin and others could not understand what he said, they knew what he meant from his actions.
In the end, even Tiehu took out the noodles, and all five of them ate the noodles.
While eating the noodles, Jin said with tears, "My Kuier has grown up, and I know I feel sorry for my mother."
The two girls immersed themselves in eating noodles. You know, the fine grains in the family used to be eaten by Tiehu and Tie Kui, and their sisters could only watch it.
After that, whether it is for food or clothing, Ninghai will do the same as everyone else. Jin made him clothes for the winter, and Ning Hai said that if the two sisters didn't have one, he would rather freeze than wear them. But to make winter clothes for the two daughters, not only cloth, but cotton is not enough.
Growing things in the mountains is always ruined by those beasts. The harvest of cotton planted this year is less than 20 jin, and Jin's is going to make a big quilt.
In the evening, Jin told Tie Kui about the matter: "You go down the mountain to buy some cloth and cotton in the past two days!" The boy didn't know what was wrong, his temper became so stubborn.
In Jin's heart, Ning Hai is Tie Kui. Therefore, for the Jin family, it is not the change of person, but the change of the son's temperament.
Tiehu responded in a good mood: "I will go to the mountain tomorrow to see if I can catch a living thing. If I want to catch it, I will go down the mountain." Before the living thing is brought down the mountain, the dead thing is not very valuable.
In the past, the son had to take medicine, and the couple lived frugally. The wife and daughter did not even wear new clothes for the whole year. But now it's different. Although Ning Hai has only been here for half a month, his wife no longer sighs and sighs. The two daughters also have smiles on their faces. This convinced Tiehu that life at home would definitely get better and better.
Jin's face also smiled upon hearing this: "Buy some more white noodles back, Queer likes to eat noodles." Pumpkin porridge, wild vegetable dumplings, of course, no noodle dumplings are delicious.
