Shangguan Liuying, dressed in white and wearing a curtain hat, was sitting in the carriage, playing with a simple ring finger in her hand, while Luyi lay aside and took a nap.

In order to prevent Liu Mei from following them, they had already set off from the mansion before dawn. Lu Yi looked like she hadn't woken up. After getting on the carriage, Shangguan Liuying let her catch up on her sleep. White clouds were watching on her left and right outside the city. Ten miles away on the Western Mountain, the journey is not far but not close either.

"Hey, miss, where did this finger ring come from? Why haven't you seen it before?" Lu Yi woke up at some point, rubbing her sleepy eyes and looking at Shangguan Liuying curiously.

"Are you awake?" A glint flashed in Shangguan Liuying's eyes, but he did not answer Lu Yi's words.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and Ying Yi came to the carriage and said, "Miss, there is something moving in the woods ahead."

Shangguan Liuying opened the car curtain, her expression hidden under the curtain was a bit serious, "How many people are there?"

"There are quite a few voices." Ying Yi said in a deep voice.

Seeing that they were about to reach Xishan Mountain, the forest in front was a must-go. If they wanted to avoid the long detour, Shangguan Liuying frowned and thought for a moment, "Wait a moment and check the situation. If it doesn't work, just Detour.”

Although she was anxious, she didn't want to take risks. After all, there were many servants in their group who didn't know martial arts. If an accident happened, there was no guarantee that these people wouldn't be hurt. She didn't want anyone to get hurt.

But the trees were about to calm down but the wind didn't stop. Suddenly an old man rushed out of the woods. He covered his chest with one hand and held a boy tightly with the other hand. He looked about four or five years old. The boy pursed his lips. The expression on his face was very serious, and his big dark eyes looked at the old man worriedly from time to time.

The two of them quickly arrived at the carriage. The old man couldn't hold on any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground. The little boy beside him stretched out his little hand and kept touching his back, trying to make the old man feel more comfortable.

But soon another mouthful of blood spurted out, and the old man's body was completely exhausted.

"Can I meet the noble man in the carriage?" The old man went straight to the carriage. Although he couldn't hold on even before he reached the carriage, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Shangguan Liuying sighed in the car. She knew exactly what the old man wanted to do, but she could not pretend that he didn't see it.

So she took off her hat and stepped out of the carriage, dressed in white like a fairy descending from heaven, "Old man, do you have any last words?"

"Girl," the old man seemed relieved to see Liuying get out of the car. He turned around and pushed the little boy in front of him, "Girl, please save my grandson. His name is Song Wuwei. He suffered from irritation when he was young. I can’t speak. My son is the manager of the Changsheng Escort Bureau. I wanted to move my family to the capital city, but I met an enemy halfway. Now my son and daughter-in-law are dead, and I am the only grandson left. He is looking like an old man. I'm going back to the west, and I beg you to take in my grandson. It doesn't cost much, just give him a mouthful of food so that he can grow up safely. Even if he makes you a cow or a horse, it's fine..."

Shangguan Liuying did not speak. Yingyi came to her side and shook his head vaguely, "Miss..."

The old man's words may not necessarily be true. Ying Yi went to the front and took a look. People were indeed dead everywhere, but this was not a kitten or puppy. This was a living person. If he didn't investigate clearly, he would probably bring disaster. unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, girl. Our enemies are all dead now and won't come back to cause trouble. It's just my grandson who is suffering. Please save him, please save him!" The old man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Song Wuwei's eyes were full of sadness. He stood quietly and looked at the old man stubbornly with his mouth pursed.

"Okay," Shangguan Liuying suddenly said, looking directly at the old man, "Old man, I promise you that I will let him grow up safely."

"Miss..." Ying Yi said worriedly.

Shangguan Liuying raised her hand to interrupt him and shook her head gently, her expression gentle and firm.

The old man was relieved and kowtowed to Shangguan Liuying with a smile, "Thank you, girl, for your mercy. Even if I die, I will pray for the girl underground. When this child grows up in the future, he will definitely repay the girl."

"Get up quickly, it doesn't have to be like this." Shangguan Liuying personally helped the old man up.

The reason why she agreed was because she saw the sadness in the child's eyes, just like the sadness she felt when she saw the general's house being massacred in her previous life. It was a sadness that seemed to be abandoned by the whole world. They were so similar. The child lost his family and now he is alone. And she had no family in her previous life, and in the end she was left alone...

But she was unfortunate. She died in the hands of her enemies in her previous life.

She didn't want to see this child end up like her previous life, so she agreed. She was willing to give him a stable environment to grow up and a future...

After spitting out the last mouthful of blood, the old man called Song Wuwei to him and stroked his hair lovingly, "Forget everything in the past. From now on, follow the girl well, live well, and grow up well..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already lost his breath...

Song Wuwei couldn't speak, and big tears flowed silently from his eyes. He shook his head stubbornly, holding the old man's hand tightly and unwilling to let go, his weak body couldn't help but tremble. He stood there, as helpless and pitiful as an abandoned little beast.

Shangguan Liuying sighed and walked to his side, gently wiped away his tears and held his hand, "Don't cry anymore. From today on, you are my brother. No one can hurt you anymore. Don't worry, in the future Wherever I am, it is your home.”

Song Wuwei felt the warmth in her hands and the long-lost gentle comfort. A corner of his heart seemed to have collapsed. Shangguan Liuying's figure was reflected in his ignorant eyes, as if he was asking: "Does he still have a home?" Home?"

Is this person in front of me really worthy of trust?

It was worth it, she was so gentle, as gentle as a mother, he was willing to believe it again, just this time!

Some servants were left to take the old man's body back to the city for a proper burial, while they continued to head west. They had already been delayed for a long time, and Shangguan Liuying gradually became anxious.

Since Song Wuwei couldn't speak or write, Shangguan Liuying could only rely on guessing to communicate with him. Finally, she confirmed that the child was only 5 years old and was very obedient. One small hand tightly grasped the hem of her skirt. Stay by her side without making any noise or fuss.

On the carriage, Liuying took out the tea that had been prepared and handed it to Song Wuwei. The little guy looked up at her and found that she was smiling softly, so he took the snack and ate it bit by bit. He looked very good while eating. Wen Jing looks like a child of an aristocrat. Thinking that the old man said that the child's father was the manager of the Changsheng Escort Agency, he must have lived in a pretty good environment since he was a child.

Lu Yi felt sympathy for the little guy, looked at him with some worry and asked Shangguan Liuying, "Miss, should we take him back home with us?"

"Well, take it back to the house," Shangguan Liuying nodded. Although the troubles in the house have not been solved, raising a child is still not a problem. "Don't worry, since I agreed to keep him, I will take good care of him until he grows up." Adult.”

I don't know if Song Wuwei understood their conversation or not. The little guy just kept eating snacks quietly without making any response.
