Chapter 82 [Great thief, blood-stained food]
Traveling at night is more difficult than during the day.
Li Shimin would never have imagined that Gu Tianya took him away for an hour.
It's ten miles.
Finally, a small village appeared ahead.
Regardless of the purpose of his trip, Li Shimin first looked at the little girl in Gu Tianya's arms. His tone was obviously shocked, and he slowly exhaled a white breath and said: "This child actually walked so far alone just to pay you a courtesy."
Lu. At such a young age, he is extremely tenacious. The only pity is that he is a girl, otherwise he will definitely have great achievements in the future."
Gu Tianya didn't seem to hear, and continued to move forward with the little girl in his arms. When he reached the end of the small village, he turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin, and said very softly: "Keep your voice down, this child is asleep.
.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang behind Li Shimin, and said softly: "Which one of you can lend a hand and help me hold this child for a while."
The two generals were obviously confused and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then said softly: "He wants to take me to see something, and it's not convenient for the children to see it too."
Only then did the two generals understand.
Duan Zhixuan hurriedly took two steps forward, carefully stretched out his hand, and said softly: "Let me hold you."
Gu Tianya nodded and handed the child over gently.
Only then did he look at Li Shimin again, and suddenly he sighed and said slightly bitterly: "You just praised this child's tenacity and said that she was able to walk such a long distance by herself. Now I tell you, this
Not tough at all…”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Why is that?"
Gu Tianya looked up at the sky, and seemed to mutter a few words, saying: "I'm just used to hardship."
Li Shimin stood stunned on the spot and felt a loud bang in his head.
I'm just used to it.
That's why a little kid can go such a long way.
Even in the cold wind, I can persevere.
Gu Tianya suddenly raised his feet and walked directly towards the small village. As he walked, he said: "I chose to escort this child tonight. I really want to lure you to come with me. Please don't ask me later."
It’s too shocking. You must not disturb the child’s mother.”
"This child's mother?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly, vaguely feeling that the matter was about to come to light.
Seeing that Gu Tianya had entered the village, he quickly followed him. As for Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang and others, they carefully held the little girl and waited at the entrance of the village.
Gu Tianya led Li Shimin all the way, and suddenly he seemed to be muttering to himself, saying: "At this hour, the little girl's mother should have gone home, so we came at the right time."
After he finished speaking, he looked around for a long time, determined the direction, and then continued walking forward. Li Shimin remained silent and followed him silently.
Gradually, a small thatched house appeared in front of it. It was low and collapsed, giving people the illusion that it would be blown down by the cold wind at any time.
Gu Tianya turned back and glanced at Li Shimin, signaling the two of them to approach slowly and cautiously. Li Shimin nodded slowly, and the two of them walked over quietly.
This small thatched house didn't even have a yard, but the snow in front of the door was cleared away. Precisely because there was no snow on the ground, there was no creaking sound when they stepped on it. The two walked slowly to the edge of the house, carefully.
Close to the edge of the window.
Gu Tianya stood on the left side of the window, and Li Shimin stood on the right side of the window. They both bent over and looked in through the gap in the window.
Li Shimin's expression quickly became shocked.
But inside the small thatched house, there were almost no walls except for some hay spread in the corners. This family was actually so poor that they didn't even have a bed to sleep on.
Hearing Gu Tianya speak very gently, he said: "There is a pawn shop in Miyun County, and bed boards can be sold for a few pennies, because wealthy families can chop the bed boards to make firewood."
The implication is self-evident, the bed in this house has been sold to a pawn shop.
Li Shimin nodded slowly, but did not speak. He could vaguely feel that this was definitely not what Gu Tianya wanted him to see.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit" in the thatched house. Li Shimin's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly leaned on the gap in the window to watch again.
Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a beautiful woman in the corner of the room. The woman was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a rattan basket with one hand. As for her other hand, she was trying hard to
Stuff it in your mouth.
She was picking at her own throat.
"Ugh, vomit!"
Everyone knows that if someone picks their throat, they will vomit. This is common sense.
So the woman was also vomiting, huffing and vomiting a lot of things.
Li Shimin's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face showed unbelievable shock. He had clearly seen that the things he spit out were grains with chaff...
The woman vomited all the food into the rattan basket.
From stomach to basket.
After vomiting the food, her face was pale, but she seemed to be relieved, with an indescribable tenderness on her face.
She looked like she had let go of a huge stone in her heart.
She looked like she had accomplished the big task she had to do today.
Li Shimin couldn't figure out why this woman would abuse him like this.
At this time, Gu Tianya's voice sounded again. Although it was very low, it was like thunder. He said in his ear: "Second brother, did you see that there is blood on the food? Do you know why there is blood? Because of this woman.
His stomach is broken."
Li Shimin was stunned.
Gu Tianya sighed and said in a very bitter tone: "She has to pick her own throat every day and make herself vomit food once a day. Although I don't know how long she has been doing this, I know her stomach
The department has been abolished."
"Why...why...why do you have to do this?"
Li Shimin felt his voice trembling.
But seeing Gu Tianya look at him, he said with a difficult tone: "The reason? It's very simple. Although she works hard, she doesn't earn enough to feed her children, but as a mother, she doesn't want to do anything even if she has the slightest chance."
She gave up, so she chose to eat secretly..."
Gu Tianya paused here, his eyes seemed to have some profound meaning, and he looked at Li Shimin again and said: "Second brother, I think you have guessed that the woman who spit out the grain works in the granary.
"
Li Shimin seemed to be stunned, standing beside the window in a daze.
This woman worked in a granary, but she did not earn enough to feed her children.
So she chose to eat it secretly, take it home and spit it out.
He picked his throat once a day and tried to spit out food once a day.
Although I don’t know how long she has been doing this, I know that her stomach is damaged because there are blood stains on the food.
That's the blood in her stomach.
After all, humans are not animals. God has not given humans the ability to regurgitate. Obviously God has not given it, but this woman can do it. The reason is very simple: she wants to raise children.
At this time, I heard Gu Tianya speak again, and said in an extremely difficult voice: "Her job in the granary is to wet and dry. Whenever she finishes work, she will be searched all over her body, but it is impossible for those people to search her.
The reason why she steals food is because the tool she uses to steal food is her own stomach. Watcher, steal from yourself, hey, it’s really a good idea.”
Watcher, self-stealing?
Li Shimin's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone. After a long time, he smiled with great difficulty and said: "This is the first time I have re-examined the sentences I have learned."
Guardian, thief!
This is a word used to disparage.
However, when applied to this woman, this derogatory word became even brighter.
Li Shimin suddenly looked into the room again and said as if muttering to himself: "She raised her child alive in this way?"
Gu Tianya sighed miserably, and suddenly turned around to dodge away. He didn't want Li Shimin to notice that his eyes were blurred by tears, so he just let out a choked laugh.
As if explaining: "There is a kind of greatness in the world, called the mother of children."
Women, as mothers, are strong.
She used her own stomach to steal back the food that fed her child. Every bite of food the child ate was stained with the blood from her mother's stomach.
At this moment, I suddenly heard another noise in the house. It seemed that the woman was murmuring. Her voice was extremely gentle, and she kept saying: "My girl should come back soon. I have to get the food quickly."
Wash it, I can't let her see me vomiting blood, otherwise she will be frightened. Her father, don't worry, I am very capable. Our girl is not hungry, it's just my stomach.
The pain is getting worse and worse. I don’t know how long I can last. Dad, I really miss you. I hope you can rub my stomach because my stomach really hurts..."
These murmurs finally showed the weakness of a woman. And Li Shimin, the tough-minded King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, finally couldn't hold back the tears that overflowed from his tiger eyes.
He already understood that this was what Gu Tianya wanted to show him.
But he knew that Gu Tianya was not just taking him for a look.
This move must have a follow-up, so that's why it happens.
Gu Tianya must have some kind of request for him after putting so much thought into it.
If someone else had played this trick on him, Li Shimin would have already had murderous intentions. However, when Gu Tianya played this trick on him, Li Shimin actually had the urge to agree.
He still didn't know what Gu Tianya wanted, but he had already agreed in his heart.
