บท 48: TGP Saintess
The boy's soft words brought everyone to a dilemma.
The reason why these kids did not leave was that they don't want to leave their brother behind.
Seeing the children being torn inside, Li Amm smiled gently to the crippled boy.
"Child, we won't leave you. How about we do this..."
All the kids turned to her with hope. They were waiting for her to speak magical words that could save them all.
Receiving those expecting eyes, Li Amm coughed. She hasn't felt it for a long time. Being looked at like she was the savior who could save them all.
Before, when she became a legendary figure in the business world, the first thing she did to flaunt her wealth was to build an orphanage.
That orphanage became the biggest and luxurious orphanage in the whole world after thirty years.
And now that she died, eighty percent of her assets would distribute to the orphanage she had built all around the globe.
If Li Amm had let her soul stayed in that world for ten or more years, she would see that the children she'd help had become successful. Some were doctors, aspiring teachers, government officials, and a lot more. Since they receive a good life because of her good deeds, they also continued to help the orphanage. After some time, they built her own statue, telling their grandchildren that she was the person they should look up to.
These good deeds had accumulated good karma that turned into a golden halo. This golden halo surrounded her soul and affected her luck in this life.
That's why when she was thrown to the mini-worlds through the gates of regrets, she had benefited from the golden halo and had a good fortune in this life.
However, none of these was known to Li Amm. She had just thought that this was the way of heavens of comforting her for making a huge mistake of throwing her in the gate of regrets.
Li Amm coughed and continued.
"I will take the two of you with me to travel in the capital, then we will come back for the other two." Li Amm planned to take the smallest boy and leave the tallest girl with the handicapped boy.
The West Alley was fifteen minutes ran to the gate of this city. To reach the other city they need to walk and ran for an hour. Then they have to catch a carriage to the capital. After that, Li Amm would use some people and a carriage from the Residence to get the children. They just need to wait here for at least three hours. This was the least amount of time they could give. If they face some troubles on the road then their travel time would increase.
But Li Amm promised to herself
that she would get back these children tonight.
However, when she said that, the children faces turned dim. They were clearly heartbroken.
Li Amm noticed it.
"What's wrong? You don't like my plan?"
The crippled boy sat up straight despite the pain he was feeling from frostbite all over his body.
"Esteem Lady, please don't leave my sister behind. You can take all of them. They are very healthy and they can do house chores. My big sis knows how to count. She is very smart. She will be useful." The crippled boy begged her.
Li Amm then understood that these children thought she would not come back for the other two.
Li Amm held the boy's hand. It was so cold. These children were so pitiful. Maybe she should make an orphanage here in this world.
No, Li Amm had a better idea. Once Ren Shou won his rebellion, she could build a charity for these children.
This empire would not have children for beggars.
"Child, I promise, I will be back. On the same night, I will return with a carriage waiting for you to take you to my home. Right now, I don't have my own carriage. So I need to walk and at least keep these two children. Someone needs to be with you while you wait for us. And big sis is fine with that right?"
The big sis nodded. This lady was very beautiful and she spoke like a goddess.
Maybe she was telling the truth and she would come back for them.
Li Amm finally saw their eyes calmed down. She managed to convince them. But then to be on the safe side, she took her jade pin from her hair and handed it to the trembling hand of the boy.
"This jade pin is the first gift I received from my husband. It costs three houses, two farms, and five pigs. This is very precious. I will leave it here with you. But I will come back for it later. Okay?"
The boy clutched the jade pin carefully. All his doubts that this lady would not come back for a useless person like him had vanished. This was a very expensive and precious jade pin. For sure the lady would come back for this.
With this, the two children leave with a peaceful heart. While the other two who was left had a hope in their heart that after this night, they would have a warm bed and warm food.
*****
Li Amm walked with the two children in her hands. However, after an hour of walk, the little boy started to swayed and could not keep his legs walking.
Li Amm looked at the sky. The sun had already set. In modern times, it was already 6 pm. Since she had a child, their travel was slow.
Especially in this cold weather, the two children can barely walk. Their will power was the only thing that keeps their weak bodies to walk for an hour.
Li Amm crouched down and carried the small boy.
Until now, she hadn't heard him speak. Maybe because he was too young or maybe he doesn't have the energy to speak. But Li Amm clearly noticed that this kid had understood her when she knocked on their house earlier.
The boy almost sleeps in her arms.
"Hey kiddo, no sleeping okay? How about I tell you a story?"
Li Amm needed this boy awake. She was afraid that once this kid fell asleep, he would not wake up again and she would not even notice that.
The little boy nodded. The boy at the side also perked up his ears to listen.
The walk in a cold and snowy night would be perfect if accompanied by a story.
