Chapter 3 Poor but three generations
"Ba~"
The old woman's crutch fell down was grabbed by Zhao Qi in his hand. The heavy force made Zhao Qi take two steps back with a grin.
"Grandma, don't beat Xiaozhu again in the future!"
Zhao Qi slowly let go of the crutch, and at the same time he felt a lot of trouble. The old woman was so strong that if the crutch fell on the little girl, she would probably have blood again. If it hit the arm and leg, it would not be unusual to have a fracture. It can be seen that the old woman is indeed a little cruel and ruthless.
But no matter what, although the old woman has no relationship with her soul, she is still her grandmother after all, and this blood relationship cannot be erased.
What's more, I heard Xiaozhu say on the road that my family became so poor just to cure her illness. Almost all the things that could be sold and used by the old woman were pawned.
"Grandma, I was smashed into the head by a statue of the god that was smashed in the mountain temple just now. When I woke up, I couldn't remember anything. It was Xiaozhu who found me back. Xiaozhu is still young. Don't hit him anytime. I won't run around in the future!"
"You...you...you are not stupid!" The old woman trembled with her crutch as if she was as unbelievable as if she saw an alien.
"Grandma, I can't remember anything about the past. Someone on the way said that I was a fool, but I'm very sober now. I should... I'm not stupid!" Zhao Qi thought for a moment and nodded.
"Woooo, is God opening his eyes?" The old woman's crutch in her hand fell to the ground with a slam, and her body shaking for a few times to see that she was about to fall.
"Grandma, be careful!" Zhao Qi jumped over and helped the old woman.
"Xiaozhu, go and move a stool!" Zhao Qi ordered, and the little girl quickly got up from the ground and moved a broken stool placed at the entrance of the cave. Zhao Qi helped the old woman sit down slowly.
"You...you mean you have just gone to the mountain temple. After the statue fell down and smashed you, you...you woke up..." The old woman grabbed Zhao Qi tightly with her hands like a dead branch, looked at Zhao Qi's face, and there were turbid tears flowing down her eyes.
"Yes, but I can't remember everything about the past!" Zhao Qi nodded.
"Okay, okay, my grandson is finally not stupid. It seems that the mountain god appears. He lets the old woman enter the coffin and see this day. You... help me up, let's go to the mountain god temple to kowtow and thank the mountain god..." The old woman stood up tremblingly with Zhao Qi's arm.
"Grandma, it's too late today, and the road to the mountain is not easy to walk. Moreover, the mountain god statue has fallen down and has been broken. When I make money, it's not too late to go to repair the mountain god statue before thanking me!" Zhao Qi said quickly.
"Okay, okay, grandson is right. The statue of the mountain god must be repaired. It's been fifteen years, and God has finally made a mercy. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
"Grandma, please drink water!" Xiaozhu came over with a gap-shaped pottery cup and stood behind Zhao Qi nervously.
Zhao Qi took the water cup and put it in the old lady's hand. After the old lady drank two sips of water, her excitement slowly calmed down. She carefully rewatched Zhao Qi's large number of times, and then touched the bandage on Zhao Qi's head with her hand, "Is it serious? Does it hurt?"
"I was hit by the statue of God and swollen a big bag. An aunt at the foot of the mountain helped me apply some medicine. It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"That's good, that's good. God must have seen me, the lonely old woman, let the mountain god appear. In the future, we must repair the mountain temple and worship incense. The one who relieves the pain must be Dayuan's wife. She is the best. She will come to take care of the old woman on weekdays. I have to thank you tomorrow..."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll go tomorrow. By the way, how did my parents die?" Although we just met, Zhao Qi still wanted to figure out the fool's life experience as soon as possible.
"It seems that the grandson is not only not stupid, but also very filial. As a son, he should naturally know his parents..." The old woman was very happy and never let go of her hand that grabbed Zhao Qi.
"Sun son, because you were crazy and stupid before, I never told you. Now that you are awake, you should know that your father's name is Zhao Jun, your mother's name is A Hong, your mother passed away less than half a year after giving birth to you. When you were three years old, your father fell into the sea while working as a dock helper. He was injured and saved for a few days. You were born on the seventh day of the seventh month. That day happened to be the festival of qualifying, and your father named you Zhao Qi with the homonym. Because you were not in good health when you were born, you lost your mother again after half a year. When you grew up, you were crazy and stupid. After taking many medicines, you still didn't work. The old woman thought she would never see you getting better in her life... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
"Grandma, it's windy outside, you'd better go in and lie down and rest!" The old woman couldn't hold on anymore when she was so sad and happy that she couldn't hold on. Zhao Qi quickly asked Xiaozhu to come and help the old woman into the cave to rest.
A few minutes later, after the two of them settled the old woman, Zhao Qi stood in the abandoned brick kiln, looking up at the panoramic skylight on the top of the kiln and was crying without tears.
Obviously, this kiln leaks.
It's just summer season now, and there are many storms by the sea, so this broken kiln should not be a place for people to live.
The kiln is surrounded by the wall to block some wind and rain, so two small shed-like rooms are built with bamboo, wood and grass curtains, and other places are piled with firewood and some simple homes.
On the left hand side of the entrance of the cave, a dirt stove was built with broken bricks, and pots and pans and a dirt pottery jar were placed around it. Several baskets were hung on the wall, and several black pottery bowls and bamboo chopsticks were placed inside. The walls around the dirt stove were smoked and black.
Going up, there are some wild grass and ferns growing in the cracks of the potholes and cracked brick kiln, and even many swallow nests. In the evening, swallows returning home are in and out of the large skylight on the top, and their chirping is full of wild and primitive fun.
The family is barely alone and can no longer describe this poor appearance.
In ancient times, people were poor, which was something that Zhao Qi knew very well, especially the common people.
But Zhao Qi never dreamed that his family was so poor.
What made him laugh the most was that he was so poor that there was a little maid.
Moreover, the old woman forced the little maid to call him a young master.
Damn, I'm afraid the only one in the world is myself, the most down-and-out young master.
Through Xiaozhu's identity and the tone of the old woman just now, Zhao Qi felt that the identity of the fool's family might have some origins, and his ancestors might have been rich.
But now he is so depressed that he lives in a cave, which shows that it makes sense that he will not be rich for three generations.
