Chapter 333 God’s Prayer [11]

The old lady's health is getting worse and worse. She is already old, and she hasn't been treated so well in these years.

Disease overwhelmed her body.

Yan Qing and the little boy went to the market to help the old lady buy medicines. They have been there many times, and they are familiar with this road. The owner of the pharmacy knows them. With a swipe, half of the medicine money was waived.

The pharmacy owner had a bitter face, but he couldn't say a word.

The proprietress once bought pastries from the restaurant next door and gave them to them when they came to buy medicine.

Yan Qing reached out to pick it up, but the little boy next to her held down her wrist, looked up and said seriously: "Let's grind the herbs for you, and treat it as buying these pastries."

The proprietress smiled and said no, but the little boy insisted.

The last two people went to the back to help grind the medicine, Yan Qing pulled the stone mill, and turned his head incomprehensibly: "Why..."

The little boy didn't even look up: "You want to ask why you don't take the pastries, but work here instead?"

Yan Qing pursed her lips and nodded.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and favors are the hardest to repay." The little boy stopped his hands, and those beautiful, penetrating ice-blue eyes stared at Yan Qing without blinking. The small figure: "These kindnesses must be repaid. If you pick up these pastries today, you can't refuse when you are asked to do something in the future. If you don't understand these things, I will teach you in the future."

Yan Qing pressed her face between her arms, and her fingers were full of residues from the medicinal materials. The girl lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before she nodded.

The little boy lowered his head and continued to work. After a while, he stopped what he was doing.

"My name is Shi Yan."

……

……

As dusk approached, the two children walked back to the village supporting each other.

The old lady stood at the entrance of the village with a cane and waited for them. She couldn't see them, but she slowly heard footsteps, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped beside her. She knew that the two children had returned.

"Let's go home and have dinner." The old lady had a smile on her face.

Yan Qing and Shi Yan supported the old lady on both sides, and walked slowly back to the small hut. The warm yellow sunlight cast by the setting sun stretched the shadows of the three of them.

That was Yan Qing's happiest time.

After that, Yan Qing felt more and more that Shi Yan's background was not simple. He knew many things, taught Yan Qing to read and write, introduced her to trees and insects, and taught her how to behave in the world.

At that time, the old lady always sat aside and listened quietly to the two children, with an infinitely loving smile on her face.

Yan Qing picked up the borrowed books, lay on the pages and turned to look at Shi Yan: "Women must learn to embroider, but this is so difficult, I can't."

The old lady was basking in the sun on the recliner in the yard, while Shi Yan was sitting by the window with her head bowed and was weaving something with washed straw. Her beautiful ice-blue eyes were staring at the movements of her hands. After hearing the girl's voice, , without raising his head, his voice was clear: "Anything is fine. No one stipulates what a person must be like. Women can fight on the battlefield, and men can also sing poems and embroider. There has never been a way of life in this world. wrong."

The girl was lying on the page, and there was a strong smell of ink on the page. She lay there quietly, and turned her head to stare at Shi Yan's side face. After a while, she turned her head and said in a muffled voice: "If I've done a lot of bad things, I've hurt a lot of people, is my life right?"

The old lady taught her to be gentle and courteous, taught her not to do things casually, and told her not to look at things one-sidedly.

Shi Yan taught her to write and read, and told her that there was a big world outside, and he said that people in this world have their own ways of living.

They taught her to know shame, know right from wrong, understand honor and disgrace, and distinguish good from evil. They taught her to see great rivers and mountains, let her know the rules of the world, taught her to understand life and death, and told her that life is a very precious thing.

They taught for a long time before Yan Qing came out of her previous concepts. She began to think about the things she had done in the past, and began to recall the blunt feeling when Tang Lian held her hand and sent the knife into the opponent's heart. The warm touch when it splashes on the face when gushing.

She started to panic.

It turned out that she had done such a thing before.

Shi Yan said that everyone in the world has its own suffering, and each has its own way of life, so what is she?
Shi Yan seemed to be thinking for a while, he was silent for a long time, slowly stopped what he was doing, turned around and walked to Yan Qing's side, sat down beside the girl, and looked at the girl with beautiful ice blue eyes.

"Qingqing, if you want, can you tell me about it?" The little boy's face was immature and green, but his tone was soft: "Tell me about your past story, I assure you, my attitude towards you will not any changes."

Yan Qing raised her head from the pages of the book, and she pursed her lips lightly.

After speaking every word without any concealment, the girl clutched the corner of her clothes a little nervously, her eyes lowered as if she was waiting for a trial.

Then she waited a long time.

——she waited for a hug.

Shi Yan patted the girl on the back lightly, and he just said to her: "Qingqing is suffering."

"In exchange, are you willing to listen to my business?"

The boy's tone was soft, and he never showed any other strange expressions from the beginning to the end, as if he was casually gossiping and exchanging his own little secrets with his friends. He stood at the other end of the most equal balance , told Yan Qing in the most flat tone, his little secret.

He talked about the conflagration of the empire, and the cold rejection he suffered from childhood to adulthood. He couldn't even go to school, and he was forced to drop out of school due to misbehavior, but his mother insisted on letting him read and study. .

"She is a very weak person. She never dared to speak up when she was bullied." Shi Yan said, "But she is also the most powerful person in the world, because she has a strong heart."

"After the empire fell, I was at the altar in the central square, trying to end my life in the same way as my mother, but I didn't really die. I came here after waking up."

When the boy turned his head, the ice-blue beautiful pupils shone brightly: "This is a place completely different from my hometown. The people here are ignorant and ignorant, and they live in their own three-acre land all day long. But they are simple and natural at the same time, and everyone has a different appearance."

Shi Yan reached out and patted the girl's head.

"It doesn't mean anything."

Yan Qing rested his head on Shi Yan's shoulder, and slowly lowered his eyes.

She suddenly understood what it was about Shi Yan that attracted her.
