Chapter 1475 The Stubborn Child
War is cruel, merciless and capricious. Even on the border of Fengqi, there are always victories, but there are also always casualties.
Whenever there is a war, both sides will suffer casualties, and the daily losses are difficult to prevent and inestimable.
So maybe the child's father had died long ago, just as the child suspected. Although he didn't cry, he couldn't hide the fear and anxiety in his eyes. The child might have no one to rely on. "Where's your mother?"
"My mother...my mother is pretty, but she was kidnapped by the Yatuo people. I chased her but couldn't catch up because they were riding horses. I also went out to look for her but couldn't find her. Later, the whole village fled, and I followed the crowd and came here."
"You didn't have any relatives along the way?"
Cheng Feng was sure that without adult care, the child would not even be able to get here on foot.
"Yes, my grandpa and grandma took care of us on the way, as did my second uncle's family. We all escaped together."
"What about your grandparents?"
“…got separated.”
"Lost?" Cheng Feng knew the child was lying when he saw the flickering eyes of the child. "You're still lying at such a young age. What will become of you when you grow up? I was worried about your life. Now it seems that saving a liar's life doesn't make much difference. Saving one liar is equivalent to harming a hundred good people."
His dirty little face flushed red instantly, and he defended himself: "I'm really not a liar."
Cheng Feng had already released his hand from the child. He straightened up and no longer looked at the child, but at Qiao Rong and Cheng Youning who were eating happily. The master and servant were not affected by the group of onlookers at all. Cheng Youning took a look at the chrysanthemum fish, and Qiao Rong picked up the best piece of the fish and put it into Cheng Youning's bowl.
You Ning also said to Qiao Rong, "You should eat it too. This fish is cooked just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour and delicious."
Qiao Rong smiled and found a piece of good meat and put it in his bowl. While eating, he said to Cheng Youning, "Your Highness, this fish was caught in the lake this morning, so it's delicious."
At this time, it was the turn of the child named "Big Eyes" to come forward to eat the dishes. Looking at the tempting colors and fragrant dishes, Big Eyes shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at Cheng Feng, who no longer paid attention to him, with concern. After thinking about it again and again, he did not dare to reach out to pick up the chopsticks.
These meals belong to Cheng Feng's son. Without Cheng Feng's permission, none of them could eat a single bite. Now that he has angered Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng has accused him of being a liar, he probably won't be given any food to eat.
He hesitated and stopped moving forward, and the child behind him pushed him hard, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. When he struggled to get up, several children had already lined up in front of him, and he was squeezed out of the queue.
He covered his bleeding wound awkwardly, and pretended to be bored as he patted his tattered clothes. His eyes couldn't help but steal a glance at Cheng Feng, wanting to see Cheng Feng's reaction to him.
How could Cheng Feng react? The person was staring at his son and didn't even look at him, as if the person who had just interrogated him was not him.
He pouting and paced for two steps before looking at the end of the line. He had the thought of queuing again, but also the thought of running away. Hesitantly, he took a few steps toward the line, then involuntarily turned his head and walked towards Cheng Feng. Looking at Cheng Feng who held his head high, he felt that he was asking for trouble, so he turned around in a circle and covered his wound, ready to leave.
The fall just now was quite severe, and the child's walking posture looked extremely awkward. Shang Xi's eyes were always on this group of children. Shang Xi also saw Cheng Feng trying to grab that child and take him to see a doctor.
Shang Xi took a few steps forward and poked Cheng Feng's waist with her finger. "Why are you, an adult, giving a nasty face to a child? Look how scared you are!"
Cheng Feng said: "Look at this child, he is not very big, but he has a lot of tricks in his mind, and he hardly speaks the truth."
"The child must have been quite frightened along the way. It's only natural for someone who's been frightened to be a little wary of others."
Cheng Feng shook his head, disapproving, "That's not a sign of vigilance, it's just a little cleverness."
"It's just a child. You questioned him for so long, didn't he tell a lot?"
"Oh, he didn't even tell me his name, he just told me his name was 'Big Eyes'. I think he should be called Big Eyed Thief."
Shang Xi patted Cheng Feng lightly and said, "Why are you arguing with a kid? Your son is even more cunning than that kid when he goes out. Why don't you say anything bad about your son?"
"Humph, hasn't my son learned enough lessons? There's a price to pay for being clever."
Even so, Shang Xi still couldn't stand by and watch the child die. She pushed Cheng Feng and said, "Cheng Feng, the child's wound is bleeding again. I think it might have been infected. We can't just turn a blind eye. If the wound worsens, the child will die."
"He refuses to see a doctor and has a bunch of crooked theories. I've repeatedly tried to be nice to him and save him, but he'll never give me a chance? It's really not a good deal to be so aggressive. Forget it, let fate decide life and death. It's his fate anyway!"
Shang Xi said, "Cheng Feng, that child is pitiful. He fled thousands of miles to our Fengqi, and was about to live a peaceful life. It's so unfair and a pity that he lost his life at this time. They say that doctors are like parents. You must have read a lot of medical books on weekdays. You should treat him!"
"I read medical books but I'm not a doctor. I can't treat illnesses."
"Even if you're not a doctor, you're still a half-witted doctor. If he doesn't want to see a doctor, we have some excellent remedies. Treat his wounds and apply some remedies. It's better than letting him die on his own. We've been giving out porridge here lately. If you find his body tomorrow, you'll definitely regret it."
Cheng Feng glanced down at Shang Xi and said with a half-smile, "He's not my son, and I didn't inflict the injury on him. What should I regret? I hate people who tell lies all the time."
"It's not certain whether the kid is lying or not. Besides, his lies don't affect others. He's talking about his own life story. Even if it's a lie, so what? He didn't cheat or deceive anyone. Why do you look down on him like that?"
"Look at his big eyes, they're rolling around all the time, and he never tells the truth. He might grow up to be a charlatan."
Shang Xi saw that Cheng Feng really had no intention of saving people, and she became angry, "Cheng Feng, are you going to save him or not?"
Cheng Feng pointed at the thin figure and said, "That kid is very stubborn and needs to be taught a lesson. If I want to save him now, I have to use force."
Shang Xi also made up her mind, "I don't care whether you use soft or hard methods, no matter what method you use, this child's injury must be cured."
