"Some time ago, Aunt Wang next door had five litters of piglets, but there was a dead piglet, but there was a half-year-old baby in this room who had to be taken care of every day, and Aunt Wang didn't care much about it. God buried this piggy, but I didn’t expect to see it the next day, and the piggy was still alive and kicking around.”

When Sister Yan said this, there was no surprise at all, only exhaustion.

"In a few days, Uncle Luo's family next door ate the wild fruit their son planted on the mountain. I went to borrow flint from his family at night. Unexpectedly, all the people were lying on the ground. The barefoot doctor in the village went to see it and said no. I'll be cured, I'll die." Sister Yan covered her forehead and sighed, "The next day, people in the village made a fuss, saying that Uncle Luo and the others were buried, and just after digging the mound, people came back to life. It's like just waking up, but I can't remember anything."

Si He and Ji Wanghuai looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"We didn't pay attention to this strange thing at first. We didn't expect that a few days ago, a group of people suddenly came from the village and searched people from house to house, saying that we hid some kind of magic doctor. How do we know what kind of magic doctor it is?" Sister Luo He said angrily, "We were going to drive them out, but we didn't expect them to draw their knives without saying a word. The Erhu in the village has not healed the wound on his arm, and the head of the village chief was almost chopped off, with half of his ear cut off. "

Si He frowned, and finally couldn't help it anymore, "Who is this?"

"I don't know, it looks like an official." Sister Yan sighed and said, "They smashed everything they saw. They insisted that we hid the magic doctor. If we didn't give it to them, they would search every house."

"However, they left yesterday because they couldn't find them. We really had no choice but to come up with a way to let people know that if outsiders came, we would close the doors and windows and say nothing. "

Si He already knew in his heart who Sister Yan was talking about, but he couldn't do anything, he could only comfort him: "It's okay, Sister Yan, protect yourself, since we're passing by here, there's no reason to ignore it."

Sister Yan thanked her repeatedly, but she knew that these people had nothing to do, so she was still uneasy, "I don't know why this happened."

"Sister Yan, do you know that when these two incidents happened, there were other strange things going on in the village?" Si He asked sideways.

"This..." Sister Yan thought about it for a long time, then said puzzledly, "There is nothing strange about this."

Through chatting with Sister Yan, Si He and Ji Wanghuai gradually learned about the affairs of Luojia Village, and also gradually learned about Sister Yan. Sister Yan lost her husband in her early years and raised her two children alone. The situation in the village is the same as hers. There are also a lot of women, most of whom were dragged to labor and never came back. There are widows, widows and widows, and there are many orphans and widows.

"But luckily I'm fine, otherwise Yan'er and Quan'er would be motherless orphans, just like the little dew at the entrance of the village, it would be really miserable."

Hearing this, Si He felt quite uncomfortable. At first he thought he had dispelled Lu Yu's thoughts, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to deceive him anyway.

He laughed at himself in his heart that he overestimated his position in Lu Yu's heart, and was extremely disappointed in Lu Yu's actions.

"Let's talk first, I'll go for a walk in the village." What Sister Yan said made him feel a little uncomfortable, maybe a walk can relax him.

"Brother, you should be careful, we don't feel safe outside the village now." Sister Yan said kindly, Si He's heart warmed up, and he smiled and said it was all right.

"I'll go out with you." Ji Wanghuai put on his robe, and walked to the door on his own, "It's a bit stuffy in the room, I'll go out to get some air."

……

The night outside the house has fallen, the stars are twinkling, and the fragrance is floating in the sky, as if it has been a lifetime.

"Is this what you said about the miracle doctor?" Ji Wanghuai squinted his eyes, looking at the sky in a daze, "Your Highness is still one step ahead of us."

"No," Si He said thoughtfully, "Sister Yan said just now that they returned empty-handed, obviously they still haven't found the person they were looking for."

"What do you think is the reason for this?" Ji Wanghuai asked casually, but he didn't get a response for a long time. He turned his head and found that Si He was staring at a wall in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Ji Wanghuai walked over and asked Si He thoughtfully.

"I was thinking, since these two things are related to banana leaves, could it be because this 'person' needs banana leaves, that when picking up banana leaves, he inadvertently saved this piglet With Uncle Luo's family?" Si He pointed to the corner of the wall, where there was a simple small tent made of bamboo strips and wooden boards, with a few banana leaves on it as a shelter from the rain.

Ji Wanghuai was suddenly blessed, he grabbed Si He and walked over quickly, "Go, go and see—"

This is not a nest, but a small shed. At most, it can only let the wild dogs sleep, and it can be used as a small place to shelter from the rain. The small shed has no door, only a small hole.Si He squatted down, and was about to take a look inside, when suddenly someone stopped him behind him: "Hey——what are you doing!"

Si He turned his head quickly, and there was a child standing behind him, who was only a year or two older than Yan Quan. He was covered in dirt and wore clothes that he picked up somewhere, and was more than twice as expensive as him.

It turned out to be a little beggar's nest.

Si He was about to get up to apologize, but he met the little beggar's eyes, and he was shocked. The look at Guang Bai at the state banquet before was still like yesterday, and the feeling at that time was exactly the same as today!

It was a numb feeling that climbed to the back of his neck and made his heart rise to his throat.

He hurriedly grabbed Ji Wanghuai, and said in panic: "Ji Wanghuai—"

"What's the matter?" Ji Wanghuai was a little puzzled by Si He's sudden action, he took a closer look, and there was surprise and panic in Si He's eyes, "What's wrong with you, it doesn't look right?"

"Have you finished talking yet?" Little Beggar Hua was a little annoyed, "I'm going to bed, how can I sleep like this?"

"I'm sorry," Ji Wanghuai pulled Si He and was about to walk back, but Si He held him back, with piercing eyes, "I know this kid!"

"You know him?" Ji Wanghuai asked incredulously, "When?"

Seeing the little beggar looking at them from behind, Si He calmed down, dragged Ji Wanghuai and ran all the way, out of the little beggar's sight, he said out of breath, "This... this The feeling of a child, I... I have experienced it."

Seeing that Ji Wanghuai was still puzzled, Si He explained: "At the state banquet before, I had the honor to meet the Master of the National Teacher. When I met the eyes of the Master of the National Teacher, I just I felt a strange feeling in my heart, at first I thought it was because he was the supreme teacher of the state, so I felt awe in my heart, but I didn't expect—"

"You didn't expect that when you met that little beggar's eyes just now, you also had this feeling?" Ji Wanghuai interrupted him, and quickly said: "Maybe it's because you and Guangbai are both magicians, When you meet, it’s like meeting each other on a narrow road, that kid just now, so to speak—"

He ran back quickly, but there was nowhere in the shed was the figure of the little beggar.

—Could it be that the kid overheard their conversation and ran away?

……

The two returned to Sister Yan's house in a daze. Jiuqing had just brought millet porridge on the table, and seeing the two looking distraught, he smiled: "Dian... no, what's the matter with you two? I just went out for a break." Why do you feel like you have lost your soul?"

"We," Ji Wanghuai licked his dry lips, a little regretful, "We just saw that miracle doctor."

"You mean..." Jiuqing and Yu Jiang exclaimed at the same time, which also attracted Sister Yan. Seeing that the situation of the four of them was not right, Sister Yan kindly asked, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood?"

"Sister Yan, who lives in that shed on the west wall?" Seeing Sister Yan coming, Si He thought that it was just the right time, and he just wanted to ask something.

"Oh, there—" Sister Yan said enthusiastically, "Little Lushui lives there, and Xiao Lushui is two years older than our family's Quan'er. She should have gone to school. Save something for this kid, last year it rained heavily and there was strong wind, and their house collapsed, Xiao Lushui had no place to live, so he had to build a shed by himself, and sometimes he lived with our neighbors."

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Seeing their strange expressions, Sister Yan asked curiously.

"It's okay..." Si He smiled, "It's just that he disappeared just now, and we still want to ask him something."

"Oh, it's okay." Sister Yan smiled, "He has to sit in front of his parents' grave every morning, and you can just go and find him when the time comes."

These words gave Ji Wanghuai great hope, he quickly thanked him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince's illness has been cured!

Before dawn on the second day, Si He and the others found the earthen cemetery of Xiao Lushui's parents in the dark. As expected, there was a small figure sitting beside the stone tablet.

Ji Wanghuai was about to step forward, but Si He held him back and shook his head at him.

Only Xiao Lushui murmured: "Father, mother, what should I do now, someone has come to arrest me, they will definitely arrest me back, I can no longer accompany you."

"If I could have discovered that I have such a powerful place earlier, you would not have died, and I would not have become an orphan."

"A few days ago, I shouldn't have saved Aunt Wang's piglet, and I shouldn't have saved Grandpa Luo's family, so that everyone wouldn't know that I could bring people back to life."

Hearing Xiao Lushui's muttering to himself, Ji Wanghuai's eyes lit up, and then his eyes darkened again.

Because Xiao Lushui cried, crying so heartbreakingly, it was heart-wrenching.

It was only then that Ji Wanghuai discovered that not only Si He, but perhaps many people were unwilling to enter the palace to be an official. The life they yearned for was freedom and unrestrained life. Although they were poor, they were happy.

Xiao Lushui was still crying there, the day was about to dawn, and as soon as it dawned, something might happen again, although he didn't want to make Xiao Lushui feel bad, but he couldn't just watch his elder brother suffer from a serious disease torture.

"Little Lushui." After thinking twice, he still walked out, because he also has someone he wants to protect, "We want to ask you to do me a favor."

Xiao Lushui looked at him in horror, Ji Wanghuai softened his heart, and quickly said: "We won't arrest you, we just hope you can save my elder brother."

The sky just broke dawn at this time, and the horizon gradually filled with warm sunlight, and a round of red sun gradually emerged from the horizon, casting a shadow on his side face, softening his outline.

He bent down, bowed deeply, and slowly raised his head, his eyes were like twinkling stars, calm and vast: "Please."
