Chapter 4275 Er Ya
I didn't know much about raising children before, but now I have two children, and I have experienced the tragic experience of losing Chen'er, so Yang Ruoqing can better understand the feeling of parents who can't find their children.
Of course, except for beasts like Xu Dakui who wear human skin.
Moreover, although this is the first lunar month and everyone is beaming with joy and celebrating the New Year in harmony, it does not mean that all evil forces have hibernated.
Thieves will still steal things, and bad guys will still do evil things. It would be terrible if this little girl meets a slave or a kidnapper.
Furthermore, Xiao Hua Xiao Duo ran away from home when she was just that old, and was sold to a good man in Huguang County, almost becoming a sacrifice to the Black Lotus Sect.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing was about to help her find her parents. At this time, a woman's anxious call came from behind.
"Erya, Erya, where are you? Erya..."
A woman in ragged clothes walked quickly down the street behind her. She was covered in patches and holes, and her hair hadn't been washed for who knows how long. She looked like a beggar woman.
The little girl behind the stone lion jumped out like a little rabbit and ran straight to the woman.
"Mom, I'm here!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, and he plunged into the woman's arms. His little hands tightly grasped the woman's tattered clothes, as if he had found a harbor.
"Erya, don't run out alone again. Mom is so anxious that she can't find you. Your father and uncle are also very anxious. Everyone has split up to look for you..."
The woman leaned down and carefully held the little girl's little hand and spoke softly.
The little girl named Erya said: "Mom, I was afraid that my brother would be hungry if he didn't have milk, so I came out to find food for my mother. If my mother eats, my brother will have milk and he won't be as hungry as grandpa."
died……"
The woman raised her hand to touch Erya's little head, her eyes filled with bitterness and emotion.
"Mom is not hungry. Mom has something to eat. Let's go, Erya, let's go back." The woman picked up Erya and was about to leave, when a voice came from behind.
"Sister-in-law, please stay."
The woman turned around and saw a young woman who was not very luxuriously dressed, but very neat and decent, walking towards her.
The young woman's hands held a rabbit fur muff, and she was wrapped in a furry cloak that looked thick and warm at first glance.
If I could have one of these cloaks, my daughter and son could sleep warmer under the overpass...
The woman was a little distracted. It was Erya tugging her hand that brought her back to reality.
"Sister, you called me? What's the matter?" The woman looked at Yang Ruoqing who had come closer and asked a little timidly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled gently, pointed at Erya and said, "That's right, my husband and I were driving by here before, and your daughter suddenly ran out from the side. Fortunately, my husband reined in the reins in time so she didn't hit her..."
Before Yang Ruoqing finished speaking, the woman's face turned pale with fright.
She hurriedly knelt down to support Erya, looked her up and down, and asked nervously: "Erya, do you feel any pain? Did you fall? Tell your mother if you are sad..."
Erya shook her head, "I didn't hit it, didn't brush it, and didn't fall. I ran very fast, and I'm a scud!"
Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Erya continued: "However, this uncle's carriage almost overturned. Just now, the horse's front hooves were raised to the sky. It was so scary!"
After hearing this, the scene at that time appeared in front of the woman's eyes.
Her face turned even paler, she stood up and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a look of shame: "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible..."
Yang Ruoqing waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are fine. She is such a sister-in-law. I asked her earlier why she ran out alone and where her home was. We sent her back, but she said
Home is gone…”
The woman glanced at Erya in her arms, with a wry smile on her lips, but said nothing.
Yang Ruoqing said again: "I see that you are not dressed very well, and your accent does not sound like someone from Wanghai County. Are you from out of town?"
When asked about this, the woman's eyes averted for a moment.
"Um...well, more or less."
Her vague answer confirmed Yang Ruoqing's guess, and also conveyed a sense that she didn't want to say more.
Yang Ruoqing didn't ask too many questions, not wanting to force anyone into trouble.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment." She greeted, turned around and hurried back to the carriage, leaned forward and got into the carriage.
Soon she came down, holding a lambswool blanket in her arms,
"Sister-in-law, it's not convenient for me to ask any more questions. I just see that your Erya is so thin. Please take this blanket away and wrap it up for her when you get home. It will still keep her warm."
Yang Ruoqing came to the mother and daughter and stuffed the blanket into the woman's hands.
Then he took out two packs of snacks from under the blanket and stuffed them in as well.
"You can also take these two packs of snacks back for Erya to eat," she said.
The woman looked at the heavy blanket in her arms and the two packages of snacks, and froze on the spot.
By the time she came to her senses, Yang Ruoqing had returned to the carriage, and Luo Fengtang waved his whip and was about to leave.
The woman hurriedly caught up and followed the carriage while saying: "Sister, we met by chance, you can't do anything to give us such a good thing..."
Before the woman fled here, she was just an ordinary housewife in a small town in her hometown, but she used to have some wealth.
At least it is considered a big household in the town, and this kind of lambswool blanket has been used before.
Such an 80% new lambswool blanket is usually placed on a carriage by a wealthy family in good condition for emergencies.
In other words, it uses less, but the quality is good. You need at least three or four taels of silver to buy one like this.
In the carriage, Yang Ruoqing opened the curtain and revealed a smiling face: "It's not a good thing, just treat it as a comfort for Erya. Sister-in-law, if you don't want to cover her, just cut it off and change it into a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers for Erya."
Well, just wait until this winter is over."
After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, the woman hesitated.
"Then take the snacks back. How can we get clothes and food at the same time..." she said again.
Before Yang Ruoqing had time to speak, Erya, who was closely following the woman, said, "Mom, can you let me have a piece of the snack and give it back to this aunt? I'm so hungry..."
The last three words were spoken in a very low and soft voice, but they made those who heard it feel uncomfortable...
Luo Fengtang stopped the carriage again because he had a feeling that even if he didn't stop on his own initiative, Yang Ruoqing would tell him to stop.
Sure enough, when his carriage stopped, Yang Ruoqing leaned out of the carriage again.
