"Don't you really think about striking up a conversation?" Seeing that she was about to leave, the system couldn't help but try to persuade her again, "If you pass this village, there won't be a shop like this!"

"I don't have the time to spare..." Song Hongguo pushed her luggage and frowned, wondering where to go next, "Xiao Tiantian, do you know where the two children my adoptive father arranged for me are?"

"do not know!"

"Then how to connect and how to find it, do you know?"

"do not know either!"

"...Haha, it seems that I thought too much and forgot that you are just a configuration of a grain and oil store, not an intelligent system that knows astronomy from above and geography from below."

With a strange taunt, the stimulating system almost went crazy, "This system is not a grain and oil store. The initial version is too low. Isn't it because you don't work hard enough? As long as you earn enough points, this system will be upgraded. When the time comes, Exploring any information is like searching for something from a bag!"

"Oh..." A true smile flashed across Song Hongguo's eyes. It seemed that this system was not only aimed at the countryside, but also had great potential to be tapped. She felt much more relaxed and stopped worrying about her children. , I want to find a guest house to stay in first and then think about the subsequent arrangements.

After walking a few steps, a half-grown child suddenly jumped out from behind a tree and blocked her way.

The other person looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. His cotton-padded jacket was full of patches, the stitches were crooked, and the cotton was still exposed in some places. His face was very thin, with an abnormal red color, as if he had been chapped by frostbite, and his eyes were But he was very attentive, staring straight at her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Hongguo couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?" But she was thinking, could this be the child she was going to take over to raise?Didn’t you say that you are young and beautiful?

"What's your name?" the half-grown boy asked tentatively. After asking, he quickly added, "My name is Xu Jiashu, the home of the family, the tree of the big tree."

After saying that, he waited for her answer with burning eyes.

Is this a secret code?But Song Hongguo didn't have any information about this in her mind. Her predecessor didn't care, but it was hard for her. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell the truth, "My name is Song Hongguo..."

After she finished speaking, the other party became excited, "Are you Song Hongguo?"

Song Hongguo nodded, and without waiting for her response, the other party continued to ask eagerly, "Is your real name Song Hongguo? Red red? Fruit is fruitful? Are you from Henan Province? Are you 20 years old this year?"

Song Hongguo nodded again, determined in her heart that this was the person who wanted to contact her.

"You're finally here!" After the other party got excited, there was a hint of complaint in his tone, "Do you know how many days I've been here to wait for you?"

After being complained, Song Hongguo was wronged. She had just traveled through time, okay?But she also had to take over the debts from her predecessor. In such a cold weather, having people come here every day to keep watch was really annoying. She apologized without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I didn't finish some things at home, so I was delayed." You have been tired for a few days..."

She was thinking about making amends when she heard the other party say in a muffled voice, "I don't have anything to do. I just drank a few more mouthfuls of northwest wind, but those two boys suffered. They were not in good health to begin with. They looked better than my brother." I’m still thin. I heard that after riding the train for half a month, even adults would have to survive, let alone a two or three-year-old child. I don’t know if he will survive..."

The last sentence was spoken in a very soft voice, with a sense of powerlessness and numbness towards life.

Song Hongguo's heart skipped a beat and her expression changed, "What happened to them?"

"The older one is okay, but the younger one seems to have a fever..." After he finished speaking, he explained gloomily, "Don't blame me. They didn't look good when I picked them up, and they were frozen for a few days. God, it would be strange if I don’t get sick for a long time.”

"Where are they now?" Song Hongguo looked around, but there was no sign of the children.

"Come with me, it's near my house." He raised his hand and pointed in the direction, then looked at her two boxes, "Can I help you pull it?"

"No, you can lead the way." Song Hongguo felt a little anxious. Although she was someone she had never met before, whether it was because of her adoptive father's entrustment or her instinct as a doctor, it was difficult for her to remain indifferent.

Seeing that the concern on her face didn't seem to be fake, Xu Jiashu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't wait for anyone these days, so he was already anxious. He was afraid that no one would take care of the two children, and if they had to be raised by him, his younger brothers and sisters would still be there. If we don’t have enough to eat, if there are two more mouths in the house, everyone will starve to death.

The two of them walked to the east of the station one after another. There was a group of private houses there. Now they looked shabby and dilapidated. But a few decades later, this place was planned to be a business hotel. There were many shops around it. I heard that the demolition compensation could buy two houses in the city center. .

"We're here..." Xu Jiashu led her farther and farther, and saw few people on the road. He didn't stop until the alley came to an end and there was no way.

"Where are the people?" Song Hongguo looked puzzled.

Xu Jiashu pointed to the pile of messy things in front of him and said, "It's inside."

"What?" Song Hongguo asked in disbelief, "Why do you let them live here? In such a cold weather, is this a place for people to live?"

It was just a pile of firewood, messy branches, and broken boards piled up haphazardly. If he hadn't told her, Song Hongguo wouldn't have known that anyone was living inside.

Xu Jiashu was not polite to her question, "It's good to have a place to live. It's still sheltered from the wind. The most important thing is safety. No one can find it. I even weighed sticks of straw for them. My younger brothers and sisters We are young, and when we take them back, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep their mouths shut, and if something leaks out one day..."

Hearing this, Song Hongguo couldn't help but look complicated, "Are you..."

"I don't know anything. I just helped take care of them for two days. I don't know them, and I don't know who you are. What your relationship is, it has nothing to do with me!" Xu Jiashu looked serious, "Don't say anything about it in the future. know me."

Song Hongguo saw him looking like he wanted to cut off the relationship, and said funnyly, "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say will be whatever..."

Xu Jiashu snorted, wondering if he could survive if he was not careful these days.Not to mention that this matter had to be hidden. If he didn't owe a favor, he wouldn't have cared about it. He turned around to pull up the wood, and at the same time shouted, "It's me, don't be afraid, I'll find your people." Already..."

Song Hongguo followed carefully. When she removed the blocking branches and wooden boards, the first thing she met was a pair of vigilant eyes. The vigilance frightened her, not like a six or seven-year-old child at all. It made her think of The lone wolf confronting the hunter seemed about to attack in the next second.

Even though Xu Jiashu had warned him aloud in advance, the child still looked wary and tensed visibly. He was still holding a wooden stick in his hand, and the front of the wooden stick was polished very sharply.
