Shameless

Doctor Zhou smiled kindly, touched Xiaowa's head kindly, and replied softly: "Dongyu."

The family name is Wan, and the baby's name is Wan Dongyu.

Dongyu was supposed to be a very good name, but this child was born a bit stupid, dull and stupid, he was timid and did not dare to raise his head, stood at the door and didn't know how to invite guests in, for a long while, he rolled his black eyes , looking sideways at the street paved with bluestone slabs, without even looking at Doctor Zhou.

As if he had long been used to his unusual behavior, Doctor Zhou didn't care at all, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and asked, "Where's your mother, are you going out to work again?"

Wan Dongyu put his little hand behind the door, staring distractedly at the empty street, staring straight at the pavement paved with bluestone slabs. After a while, he opened the door completely, as if to invite Doctor Zhou to come in, but he didn't speak , but turned and trot into the house.

Doctor Zhou was a little helpless, sighed, and entered the door with the cage on his back.

This child was born like this, and he couldn't see any problems when he was waiting to be fed, but as he got older, he could see that something was wrong, and he was like this all day long, which was very different from children of the same age.

Neighbors and eight houses privately say that Wan Dongyu is a fool, his brain is not normal, and his children are not allowed to play with him, and even when going out, they will stay away from Wan's house and try to walk on the other side of the street.

When Dr. Zhou was about to walk to the door, Wan Dongyu appeared with a low stool. When Dr. Zhou came in, he solemnly put down the low stool, pondered for a while, as if thinking about something, and then patted the stool with his small hands, saying affirmatively. : "Uncle Zhou sit down!"

For him, it seems that it is very difficult to move a stool and ask someone to sit down, and it is extremely difficult to complete.

After speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Dr. Zhou.

Dr. Zhou put down the cage and sat down, "Good boy, I'm sorry."

Wan Dongyu tilted her head awkwardly, and unconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if she was very nervous.

That's right, children of his age in Qinghe Street are outside all day long, calling friends and running all over the street, while he is trapped in this small courtyard all day long, and can only peek out through the crack of the door all year round. They dare not come out.

——He once went out alone, but was pushed out and bullied. Since then, he has been reluctant to go out.

"Where did your aunt go?" Doctor Zhou asked patiently again, not in a hurry.

Wan Dongyu lowered his eyes, stared at the ground for a while, and then said slowly: "Xiuzhuang, work..."

He has such a temperament, he can't be in a hurry, the more anxious he is, the angrier he gets.

Doctor Zhou didn't force him, he took out a package of things wrapped in oil paper from the cage, handed it over lovingly, and said gently: "I bought it on the road. You said you liked it a few years ago, so you brought some more here. Let's eat."

It was a package of winter melon candies that was tightly wrapped. The outermost layer of paper was torn and torn, and there were some mud marks that came from nowhere. It looked very shabby and shabby.

Wan Dongyu was timid, he wanted the bag of candy in his heart, but he didn't know how to pick it up. He only lowered his head and glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and squeezed his hands even tighter.

Knowing that he was embarrassed, Doctor Zhou smiled and wiped off the mud marks on the oiled paper, stuffed the candy into his arms, and let him hold him.

"It's all for you. I'll buy it after you finish eating," Doctor Zhou said affectionately, paused, and continued, "If you want to eat, Uncle will buy it for you."

Wan Dongyu hugged the oiled paper bag with both hands, remained silent, maybe she was more happy, so she lowered her head in embarrassment, looked at her toes, and loosened her clenched hands a little.

Aunt Dongyu was not here, Dr. Zhou could only wait, anyway, it was like this every year, this time it was no different.

Dr. Zhou is not related to the Wan family, but Wan Dongyu's late father was his direct disciple. When the child was about to be born, the apprentice went up the mountain to gather medicine and fell to his death. Only the orphan and widow mother lived in misery. Life was tough.As a master, he can barely earn some money from seeing a doctor every year, and after removing his share of living expenses, the rest is used to support his wife, and he also comes to Anyang City for free consultations as a rule.

Mu Qing and Bai Shu hid themselves and watched in the dark.

Bai Shu crawled out of the cage and lay on Mu Qing's shoulder. She flicked her tail and stared at Wan Dongyu with her dark eyes.

Although this child is stupid, he is kind-hearted. He knew that Bai Shu would go to his house to steal food every day, so he made trouble with his mother to put the leftover food on the table instead of putting it in the cupboard, otherwise Bai Shu would be very upset. Difficult to get food.

Wan's family lives in poverty, and they basically eat porridge and side dishes, and steamed buns with white flour are already a very rare food. This kid knows that Bai Shu likes to eat, so he cries and says he wants to eat it. If A Niang buys it for him, he will eat it. Hide the steamed buns secretly, run to the kitchen before going to bed, and put the steamed buns on tiptoe.

He didn't know the value of the gold and silver jewelry that Bai Shu sent over, he only regarded it as a return gift from Bai Shu to himself, so he treasured these things every time, so his mother didn't know about it.

But these things are also due to Bai Shu, except at night, this villain only comes when his mother is not around, and sometimes he can play with Wan Dongyu for a while.

She knew that Wan Dongyu hid all those things there, and when she learned that Mu Qing wanted to take them back, she felt very sorry, hesitated for a long time, and still told the truth.

"Where is it hidden?" Mu Qing asked in a low voice, looking at the room with a blank expression.

Bai Shu drooped her tail and whispered reluctantly, "Under the bed."

Turning her head to look at this evil obstacle, Mu Qing was speechless.

Later, Wan Dongyu's aunt, that is, Qi Sanniang, came home from work. When she saw Doctor Zhou coming, she hurriedly boiled hot water to make tea, for fear of neglecting him.

Mu Qing took Bai Shu to leave for a trip, there was something to do, and she came back around Chenshi, just in time for Wan's family to finish dinner, Qi Sanniang took Dr. Zhou out to find a place to live—worried about causing the neighbors to discuss right and wrong, at night He didn't dare to leave anyone to rest at home, so he had to spend money to find a cheap hotel to live in.

Wan Dongyu didn't know that the two of them were here, so he carried the candy that Doctor Zhou bought for him to the kitchen, thinking that Bai Shu would come again, and wanted to leave the winter melon candy for Bai Shu to eat.

There was only one child in the low house, so it was easy to do things. Mu Qing ignored Wan Dongyu, quietly entered the room, and took away all the things the boy hid, leaving behind a few pieces of silver.

The money is not too much, three or four taels, enough for the mother and son to live for a long time, and it is not easy to attract suspicion from outsiders.

One person and one fox originally planned to take their things and leave, but when Bai Shu walked into the courtyard and saw Wan Dongyu pushing the winter melon candy on the table with great difficulty, she was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly Jump down and go straight to the kitchen.

Mu Qing didn't stop her, but hid herself in the corner of the courtyard so as not to be discovered.

Wan Dongyu's reaction was very slow, until he was patted by Bai Shu with his paw, then he looked back in bewilderment, seeing that it was Bai Shu coming, his eyes widened in surprise, and he was even at a loss for what to do.

He squats down.Body, carefully touched Bai Shu's back, and said in a daze: "Bai Bai..."

Bai Shu let him touch, stretched her head and rubbed against his palm.

Wan Dongyu smiled expressively, and suddenly remembered what she was doing in the kitchen, she hurriedly stood up, climbed onto the stool and took down the bag of wax gourd candies, uncovered the oil paper as if offering a treasure, picked up one and fed it to Bai Shu, and said with great effort: " Delicious, free to eat."

It is too difficult for him to speak and act like an ordinary child, and every movement is more labor-intensive.

No matter how ignorant Bai Shu was, she also knew that he was special. She raised her paw to pull Wan Dongyu's arm comfortingly, and ate the winter melon candy.

Wan Dongyu was very happy because of this. He grinned, stroked her back lightly, and murmured: "If you don't come... Dongyu misses you so much..."

He is an idiot, he can't tell lies, he really thinks when he says he thinks, without any falsehood.He hasn't been out much, and now he has finally met a playmate. He must be anxious if he doesn't see him all day long. Fortunately, Bai Shu showed up tonight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Bai Shu shook her tail, leaned forward and pressed her head against his palm, but she didn't speak for fear of scaring him.

After eating a piece of wax gourd candy, Wan Dongyu picked her up and rubbed her cheek reluctantly. He seemed to know that Bai Shu was leaving and would not come back to accompany him. lay down.

Guessing that Qi Sanniang would be back soon, Bai Shu didn't dare to wait for long, so she jumped on Wan Dongyu's body for a while, and then gestured with her front paws that she was going to leave.

Wan Dongyu didn't say a word, didn't say a word.

Mu Qing was just watching from outside, and she didn't show up from the beginning to the end. Seeing Bai Shu and the four-year-old idiot reluctantly parting, she pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated.

Bai Shu's mind is only a few years old now, but she is much better than Wan Dongyu. She can understand many things at one point. Although she is always stupid, she is still normal and well-measured. Rejecting contact with others, it is not bad to be able to make friends with children of the same age.

Parting is always sad, no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to leave.Not long after Bai Shu left with Mu Qing, Wan Dongyu was the only one left in the empty courtyard. He stayed in the kitchen for a long time, and then slowly returned to his room.

And Bai Shu, who was carried in the cage, was lost for a long time. When she was sad enough, she ate the winter melon candy that Wan Dongyu gave her before parting. After resting for a while, she climbed onto Mu Qing's shoulder again and asked : "Where are you going?"

The paws of this scoundrel were full of sugar stains, dirty, she didn't know what to do, directly grabbed Mu Qing's robe, and wiped the sugar stains on it.

Mu Qing frowned displeasedly, but she didn't reprimand, she just replied calmly: "Zhao Mansion, return the things."

Knowing that she was the cause of the trouble, Bai Shu immediately shut up and lay quietly on her stomach.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Zhao Mansion.

The little thief didn't come to visit the house all day, Mr. Zhao became more and more restless, his heart felt tight, he always felt empty and not used to it.

He didn't dare to sleep, and waited for the thief's arrival.But as time got later and later, when the eyelids were almost closed, there was still no movement in the mansion, he seemed very annoyed, and looked outside impatiently.

It was dark, and it was dark outside.

After waiting for another stick of incense, the mansion was still peaceful.

Mr. Zhao nodded in sleepiness, his eyelids were completely closed, his head drooped lower and lower, and he was almost lying on the table, but at the moment when he was about to fall asleep, a package hit the table, scaring him. He fell back and fell straight to the ground.

A solid fall can knock Mr. Zhao to pieces, making him cry out in pain.

"Someone! Somebody!"

The servant girl guarding outside the room quickly opened the door and entered, thinking that something serious had happened.

As soon as everyone pushed open the door of the room, they saw a bag of gold and silver jewelry on the table. It was the ones that were lost in the mansion before. On the roof of the room facing the table, the blue tiles were lifted at some time. There is a big hole in it.

Obviously, the thief came in blatantly again.

Everyone was amazed.

When Zhao's mansion was cooking a pot of porridge, on the empty street outside, white-clothed scholars walked quietly in the dark night with their boxes on their backs, and gradually disappeared around the corner of the street.

.

Before dawn the next day, one person and one fox who had rested safely and comfortably in the inn all night left early. At that time, there were no other people on the street, and doors were closed everywhere.

The two of them hurried on their way, planning to leave the city at this time.

Go out of Jiuqu Street, turn a corner, and pass through an alleyway. Not far away is the city gate, just cross it quietly.

Seeing no one around, Bai Shu boldly crawled out and sat on Mu Qing's shoulder, looking around curiously.

Just after leaving the alleyway, Bai Shu inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure - Doctor Zhou.It was so early in the day, and he also walked towards the gate of the city with the cage on his back.

Mu Qing also saw him.

In the dark and lonely night, the figure of Dr. Zhou walking alone is particularly eye-catching.
