Chapter 35 The girl who depends on each other for life
"Big brother?"
Hearing this extremely familiar voice, Xiao Douya quickly raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him. He blinked his big eyes, but raised his hands in disbelief and rubbed his eyes.
"Hahaha……"
"Little Bean Sprout! It's us. We can go out and play on the street today!"
"Little Bean Sprout, we are so happy to see that you are okay!"
"Yes! Xiaodouya, are you all okay now?"...
Li Dingguo had just walked quickly to Xiao Douya, and before he had time to say hello, he heard frequent footsteps behind him, accompanied by a burst of excited voices.
It turned out to be Tang Guangqiang, Cao Yongxiang and others. They ran over with laughter and shouted to Xiao Douya one by one.
"ah!"
When Xiao Douya saw a dozen or so friends who used to live together in the land temple in the east of the city greeting him one by one, he finally believed that he was not dreaming.
She stared at Li Dingguo, whose figure and skin color had completely changed. Looking at the face that she would never forget, she could no longer hold back her excitement and her eyes filled with tears in an instant.
"Big brother!"
Her lips trembled slightly, and her whole body was shaking. "It's great to see that you are okay!"
She was crying and laughing, "Ever since you were called away by the soldiers under the Eighth King, I have been worried."
"Until a few days ago, those friends came back one by one, but didn't see you, so I hurried to ask them."
"They said that you were valued by the Eight Kings, received very good treatment, and have become a warrior. I was relieved."
"But, I'm still worried about you in my heart..."
Xiao Douya's skinny and dark face was covered with tears, but she was smiling very happily, which made Li Dingguo feel a pang of heartache for no reason.
He met this little girl three years ago when he was outside the city, holding a wooden stick and fighting with a wild dog for a steamed bun that the dog had brought from somewhere.
At that time, Li Dingguo had just wandered from the nearby countryside and luckily managed to wander to this county town alive.
After Li Dingguo chased away the wild dog and snatched the steamed bun, he immediately found Xiao Douya who had fainted from hunger on the side of the road.
At that time, he was innocent and kind-hearted, so he took out half of the steamed bun, crushed it with his hands, and slowly fed it to the unconscious Xiao Douya.
This little bean sprout was lucky and survived.
From then on, she became Li Dingguo's most loyal follower.
Of course, she later saved Li Dingguo's life. The two of them were truly dependent on each other for life and death, and were closer than siblings.
"Little Bean Sprout, it's okay."
He stretched out his trembling big hand, touched Xiao Douya's dirty little head, and said comfortingly, "From now on, big brother will take care of you and will not let you go hungry."
"Brother has learned a lot of skills from the king now, he is very powerful."
At this point, Li Dingguo looked at the little Douya in front of him, who was wearing ragged and worn clothes and was still shivering slightly. A deep sense of sadness surged in his heart.
"Uh-huh……"
Little Bean Sprout was so happy now that he nodded his head repeatedly and said happily, "I have already asked those friends who were driven out of the Wang Family Compound and found out clearly. Brother, you are so tall and strong now, you must have become very powerful." "And more!"
Little Douya had already wiped away her tears. She looked up at Li Dingguo, who was a full head taller than her, and said, "During the period since you left, because the Eighth King ordered the elimination of most of the ruffians and gangsters in the city, no one bullied us, and we were able to eat our fill every day."
"I really hope that the Eighth King will never leave here, so that we, the little friends, can have a good life."
"Since those friends who were eliminated from the warrior selection came back a few days ago, all the beggars in this city have known that you, big brother, are valued by the Eighth King. They no longer dare to bully us. On the contrary, those adult beggars avoid us as soon as they see us..."
Xiao Douya now saw Li Dingguo's greatly changed appearance. He was even happier to see that he was wearing a very decent and clean warrior outfit. He couldn't stop talking about it.
However, one of her little hands was tightly grasping the corner of Li Dingguo's clothes, as if she was afraid that he would disappear again, which made people feel distressed.
At this time, the fifteen young warriors who had just greeted Xiao Douya were laughing and joking with their friends who had just received a bowl of porridge at the porridge stall and came over.
The difference is that those beggar boys were selected and eliminated.
Looking at the current appearance of Li Dingguo and others, they were extremely envious, yet seemed to feel inferior, and deliberately kept a distance from those young men who had become warriors.
However, the performance of the twenty-odd little girls was completely different.
They were all extremely happy. They drank the bowl of porridge in their hands in big gulps, put their bowls aside, and surrounded the fifteen young warriors, jumping and chattering, obviously very happy.
After everyone's excitement died down and they calmed down again, Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said to Tang Guangqiang beside him, "Aqiang, take a few people to the market and buy new clothes and shoes for everyone."
"It doesn't have to be something fancy, just some coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals that fit you well."
"Also, let's go to a nearby restaurant and buy two baskets of steamed buns so that everyone can have a full meal first."
"Oh, one more thing, remember to buy some more soap and some big buckets."
"Then, let's go back to the land temple where we used to live in the east of the city, and then go to the old well where we often fetched water. Men and women should be separated, and everyone should take turns fetching water from the well, wash their bodies, and put on new clothes."
Li Dingguo, who was from the 21st century, felt very uncomfortable looking at these ragged and dirty little beggars in front of him.
Not to mention their current attire, which is somewhat disgusting to look at, just talking about hygiene, we must take it extremely seriously.
As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth.
Most of the diseases that humans get in their lifetime are basically caused by not paying attention to personal and dietary hygiene and eating uncooked or toxic and harmful food, which will breed various diseases.
The reason why people in ancient times did not live long and had a very short average lifespan was, on the one hand, because they worked too hard and overdrawn their vitality.
On the other hand, this abnormal situation is caused by the lack of attention to hygiene, frequent hunger, and the endless natural and man-made disasters.
In fact, the quality of food that people of this era eat is much better than that of the 21st century in their previous lives!
If ordinary citizens in the 21st century could eat these pure natural and pollution-free good things every day, every household would save a lot of medical expenses.
Of course, the premise is that you don't believe in those so-called experts and doctors, and don't be fooled and brainwashed by them, and take injections and take medicines at every turn, or even undergo those so-called internal medicine surgeries, which ruin your healthy body and end up losing both your life and your money.
In fact, as long as you pay attention to personal hygiene and healthy diet, do not indulge in harmful things, and rely solely on the body's own immunity and recovery ability, it is enough to cure most diseases without medication and without any sequelae.
"Okay, boss!"
Tang Guangqiang immediately accepted the order loudly and agreed, saying, "I will take ten warriors to do the work right away! I am just worrying about how to spend the money the king has given me!"
Afterwards, he excitedly called upon the ten ordinary young warriors beside him, took the sixteen strings of money that everyone had collected, turned around and left quickly.
