Old Pumpkin's leg injury was serious but not serious enough to require amputation. It was not serious, but the wound was really deep. In addition, the wound was not bandaged in time, so he lost a lot of blood.

It took more than an hour to suture and bandage his wounds.

In the middle, Old Pumpkin woke up from the pain of stitches several times. He was held down by Chang Ming and the children without much struggle. Now that the wounds have been treated, the others have passed out again.

Gu Luo didn't know whether it was because of her crazy guess or what, but she couldn't help it and wiped Old Pumpkin's dark face with a cotton handkerchief soaked in water.

There are many scars on the withered face, criss-crossing them, and even if they are wiped clean, you can't tell what they looked like originally.

Of course, even if he saw what he looked like originally, Gu Luo couldn't do anything.

She didn't even know why she had to watch it, and what would happen if she watched it.

Leaving a bottle of golden sore medicine and a bottle of Tianwang Xinxin Dan, Gu Luo took out another banknote, not much, twenty taels in denomination, and gave it to the little girl, "Let's buy him something to eat.

I lost a lot of blood, so I need to make up for it."

The little girl didn't answer. She lowered her head, kicked the pebbles on the ground with her toes, and said in a very low voice, "Can I give you some copper?"

When she said these words, her ears and neck turned red, and she clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. She mustered up the courage to hold these words back.

All dignity may have been spent.

"It's not suitable for us to spend silver coins, as it will be misunderstood as stolen, so copper coins are more suitable."

After saying that, she knelt down to Gu Luo.

As soon as she knelt down, seven or eight children behind her knelt down in unison.

The battle made Gu Luo think that the new Tu Emperor was born in some village.

She did not help the little girl up, but squatted down next to the little girl, "I don't have any coins now, you can go back with me, I will help you grab two sets of medicine for Old Pumpkin, and the remaining coins will be the change."

How about you take it and pay me back when you make money later?"

I don't know if that sentence touched the child's tears, and her big tears fell down. She reached out and wiped them hard with the back of her hand.

I don't know how much effort I used, my eyes were red, I bit my lip and nodded heavily.

The child followed Gu Luo's carriage back. Perhaps because she was a little more familiar with it, she was not so nervous that she couldn't even breathe when she got on the carriage. Even as the carriage started, she took the initiative to say to Gu Luo, "My name is Douya."

The voice was small, like a puppy whimpering.

Gu Luo touched her head and rubbed the little bean sprout head in her palm, "I, my family sells vegetables. My father collects vegetables from nearby villages and sells them to Bailu Shu, Academy.

Just last time..."

Having said this, she timidly raised her eyes to look at Gu Luo. Gu Luo tilted his head with a smile in his eyes, "Huh?"

"You said last time that I could learn medical skills from you, right?"

Gu Luo smiled and said, "Do you want to learn?"

The child nodded heavily without hesitation, "I heard someone say that if you open a medical school next to White Deer Academy, can you..."

She paused.

Gu Luo thought she was going to say, can I study for free or something like that.

But the child gave her a surprise.

"If I sign up, can I just listen to the class at the door but not go in? I will definitely do it and pay the tuition, but I can't let my parents know."

Gu Luo couldn't describe how he felt now, his eyes were a little sore, "Will your parents beat you if they find out?"

Douya nodded, "They will take away all the money I have hidden, or they may beat me to death. Last winter, I almost froze to death because my brother dug out the money I had hidden."

At that time, I was thrown into the street and was not allowed to go home. It was Old Pumpkin who took me back to the temple and gave me food.

Later, my parents' anger subsided, and I went back.

So I...I can't let them know I hid the money."

Gu Luo immediately remembered what Yu Yan said that day, that every family has its own mistakes.

"Have you ever thought about not going back?" Gu Luo asked her.

Douya shook his head, "For a child as old as me, if I don't go back, I won't be able to eat or drink by myself. If I go back, I will be beaten and scolded, but I won't die of hunger, and I can still hide some money."

I used to think that when I had enough money, I would quietly learn embroidery. I heard that embroiderers can also make money.

But now I want to study medicine."

After listening to Gu Luo's class that day, I changed my mind.

He is an excellent child.

I was beaten and scolded, but I knew what I wanted. For that little bit of what I wanted, I gritted my teeth and endured it, just to be able to change one day.

This is the greatest effort and struggle she can make for her terrible life.

People are not afraid of falling into the quagmire, but they are afraid of falling in and not knowing how to get out.

"When my school is opened, there will be a few little maids who will do the cleaning. Are you willing to come? If you come, you will take care of food and accommodation, and you can also attend classes for free. Anyway, you don't plan to go inside the school building to listen, just at the door.

From what I heard, the little maid is just right."

Douya's eyes lit up, but then darkened again.

"I may not be able to do it. In my family, my father and mother rely on me to do the work. If I work as a maid, I won't be able to finish the work at home."

Gu Luo remembered that a student introduced her as the third girl in the family.

"You have brothers and sisters above you?"

Douya blinked, "I have two sisters, but they didn't survive and died."

When she said this, there was fear in her eyes, but more of them were hollow and numb.

Gu Luo was speechless for a moment.

They were both biological children. The son pampered her so much, but the daughter... couldn't bear it and died.

Gu Luo didn't dare to think too much if he couldn't stand it any longer.

Douya said she almost froze to death last winter.

"If you are willing to work as a maid at my place..."

Douya shook his head and interrupted Gu Luo, "Sister, I won't go. I know you want to help me, but I can't cause you any trouble. If I go to your place to be a maid, my mother and my brother will be in a lot of trouble.

,Really, just let me attend the class."

She spoke very firmly and seriously, even with pleading in her tone and eyes.

Gu Luo couldn't say anything more, so he just nodded, "Okay."

The little girl smiled and said, "Thank you sister, we can pay back these twenty taels soon."

Gu Luo didn't ask those children how they wanted to earn a living or how they would pay back, nor did he ask about Old Pumpkin.

She felt that even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to solve anything, at least not yet.

At present, she is still in a mess. The Anping Mansion has collapsed, but there is still the prince, the second prince, and Sunan Li...

If you get close to these people, you will inevitably bring your own troubles to others and bring unnecessary disasters to others.

People like her...

That’s why he can get along with a psycho like Yu Yan.

Don't be afraid of hurting anyone.
