Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 99 Li Kui
The man looked a little weak. He was holding the door frame with one hand. It seemed that he noticed his sight. The man looked at the family who were eating.

"Did you save me?" The man's voice was hoarse, a typical symptom of typhoid fever.

"Hey, are you awake? Come here and eat!" It was Li Dashan who spoke.

The man hesitated for a while, said "thank you", and then slowly moved to the side.

Li Qingsong and Li Xiao had already finished eating and stood up to make way for the man.

Li Qingsong went back to his room to pack his things. Today, the results of the test will come out. After seeing the results, they will have to return home.

Li Xiao did not leave, but sat in the corridor and read a storybook.

After the man sat down, Li Yuan handed him a large bowl of porridge and two eggs.

The man thanked him and drank the porridge without any hesitation.

He hadn't eaten for three days, and he probably had a fever. Before he fainted, his cousin and aunt insulted him, and then chased him away from their bun shop like a fly.

The world is hot and cold, and family affection is indifferent.He really didn't expect that after his relatives drove him away, a stranger would save him and give him a bite to eat.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, the man stopped eating the eggs. He put down the bowl, stood up, and solemnly thanked Li Dashan and his wife.

"My name is Li Kui," the man said. "I'm from Linhai Mansion. I used to work as an errand in the government office, but three months ago, when the bandits were suppressed, I had someone cut off someone's arm." As he spoke, he gestured to his left arm with his eyes.

"Linhai Mansion is not close to Liuning Mansion, why are you here?" Li Dashan was puzzled.

"My mother is in poor health. I used to be on duty in the government office to be able to earn some money to buy medicine. But now that I have broken my arm, she refuses to take medicine anymore."

After a pause, Li Kui continued: "Moreover, this husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. My wife saw me lying on the bed with a broken arm, and ran away within two days. My wife was angry, and during that time Take care of me and leave in less than half a month."

Li Xiao, who was sitting on the porch, knew that this "gone" was due to old age, so he couldn't help feeling that Li Kui was a little pitiful.

However, Li Kui's "pity" is not over yet.

After the injury healed, Yamen would definitely not be able to go back. Before her mother died, she asked him to go to Liu Ning Mansion to find his aunt, saying that his aunt's family had been taken care of by his family before, but now that he was missing an arm, he asked her to give him a living. Making a living shouldn't be a problem.

He sold his land and house, and walked all the way to Liuning Mansion. Due to a light rain a few days ago, he was sad and had a fever, and he hadn't eaten for three days on the road. When he arrived at his aunt's bun shop, he was in a state of panic. It’s more than enough compared to a beggar!
My aunt and cousin probably thought he was a beggar now and were afraid that he would rely on them, which could be said to be extremely insulting. They were even afraid that he would mention his past kindness, so they threw him ten coins like a charity!
He was so angry that he didn't even look at the copper plate and left without looking back!
However, it seemed that he didn't go very far when he reached an alley and fainted...

Fortunately, he met a kind person, otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to lie there, and he didn't know if he would wake up!

After listening to Li Kui's words, Li Dashan and his wife felt sympathy for Li Kui, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

The couple chatted for a while, and then Li Dashan actually took out a handful of money and handed it to Li Kui.

"Brother, although I can't help you with anything, you can take the money and use it first."

"Although your arm is gone, I think you are a spirited man who can always find a way out!"
