The little boy who was insulted stood up with the support of several friends, and when he saw that it was Tang Xiaoxi, he gritted his teeth and said, "You beggar, how dare you kick me!"

Tang Xiaoxi was not annoyed either, and said with a smile, "I didn't kick you, I kicked the turtle son!"

The little boy also didn't want to pursue the question of who is the son of a turtle with him. When he saw the sword in his hand, his chest heaved up and down in anger: "You beggar, give me back the sword!"

Tang Xiaoxi crossed her arms with her arms across her chest, apparently not wanting you to snatch it, and mockingly said, "I'll give you the sword if you scream."

"Dogs call you daddy!"

"Huh?" Tang Xiaoxi said, "I don't talk to dogs. I don't understand what dogs say."

Then he asked again, "Do you want to be a dog's son or my son?"

The little boy couldn't quarrel with him, so he wanted to punch him, but Tang Xiaoxi, who was scrambling wildly in Ye Luzi, couldn't possibly be hit, and ran away in a flash, and even tripped him with his foot.

Before the little boy who had been shaken could stop, he was shoveled and fell to the ground again.

Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaoxi immediately burst out laughing, pointing at the little boy and shouting like a dog, the little boy burst into tears.

Getting up with a disheveled face, he glared at Tang Xiaoxi, then turned his head and walked away with his friend.

Tang Xiaoxi laughed and said that they were going to go far away, so they planned to leave.

"Wait!" Seeing that the child was about to leave, Nuan Qing hurriedly called to stop him.

"What are you doing?" Tang Xiaoxi asked with a puzzled expression on her face.

Nuan Qing thought about it, pointed to the sword in his hand and said, "That sword is mine, thank you for helping me get it back."

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the sword in his hand, then at her, and said, "I can give it to you, you have to exchange it for something."

Nuan Qing was startled, touched her pocket and said, "I don't have much money on me, it's all with my senior sister, I'll give it to you when I find her."

Tang Xiaoxi put the things in her arms, and made a gesture to leave: "Then come back when you get the money."

Nuan Qing hurriedly stopped him, but when she took a closer look at the child's clothes, she was timid and did not dare to make a move.

The child looked only seven or eight years old, thin and small, the clothes were dirty and dirty, Nuan Qing even saw some animal feces on them, the hair was in locks, and the little face was black, but those pair of The eyes were dark and very bright.

Nuan Qing knew that this might be a vagrant, and immediately felt distressed, and said cautiously, "You...what's your name?"

Tang Xiaoxi looked at her vigilantly: "What's my name is none of your business?"

Nuan Qing was speechless for a moment, and then said: "I have some taels of silver with me now, let me give it to you first."

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it over.Tang Xiaoxi had no concept of money since she was a child, and when she saw those pebble-like things, she didn't know how to use them, so she confiscated them.

Seeing that he didn't take it, Nuan Qing didn't take it away or stretched it out, and said awkwardly: "You...you just want money?"

Tang Xiaoxi shifted her gaze from her hands to her face, and said, "I'm a beggar, so it's useless to ask for money."

"Then, what do you want, I'll buy it for you."

Tang Xiaoxi thought for a while, before she could speak, her stomach suddenly growled, grunting.

As soon as Nuan Qing heard this voice, she guessed that he might not have eaten until now, so she nodded self-consciously: "I see, you must be hungry, I'll buy you something to eat, you and I Come."

He didn't think he was dirty as he said it, so he walked forward.

Tang Xiaoxi stared blankly at Nuan Qing's hand, which was white and clean, holding his wrist. The black hand made Tang Xiaoxi feel a little ashamed suddenly. He wanted to shake it off, but his body couldn't move.

Tang Xiaoxi was alone from the beginning of his memory. He didn't know who his parents were. In the past few years, he hung out with a group of beggars and rummaged through garbage to eat with them.

He is small, so he can't always squeeze other people, and sometimes he will be pushed aside, and he dares to look through to see if there is anything to eat after they finish eating, so he is always not full.

As he grew older, Tang Xiaoxi stopped being with that group of people. He came to this town and found that the people here were very nice, so he stayed here.

But no matter how good a person is, he wouldn't like a dirty beggar to live with him. As time passed, Tang Xiaoxi became less popular.

Nuan Qing took him to the bun shop, bought five buns and stuffed them for Tang Xiaoxi, telling him to eat them quickly.

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the big white and fat bun, and regardless of Nuan Qing's expression, she stuffed it into her mouth in two or three mouthfuls, looking famished.

Seeing him eating so hard, Nuan Qing was afraid that he would choke, so she hurriedly told him to slow down.

Tang Xiaoxi ate three of them in one go, and then stuffed the remaining two into her arms.Seeing his solemn look, Nuan Qing suddenly felt that this child was quite pitiful.

"What relatives do you have?" Nuan Qing asked him.

Tang Xiaoxi shook her head: "I'm alone."

Nuan Qing thinks about it too, if she has parents, she can still let the children live on the street.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that I used to live with my parents. Although my family was very poor, my parents loved me anyway, but I had no choice but to sell myself.

Thinking of this, Nuan Qing couldn't help her nose sore, and she was about to cry.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Tang Xiaoxi was startled, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong, Nuan Qing shook her head to express that she was fine.

Nuan Qing patted his head and said, "How old are you?"

Tang Xiaoxi shook her head: "I don't know."

Nuan Qing asked him again: "Are you literate?"

The child still shook his head: "I don't know."

"Where do you spend the night?"

"Sleeping in a tree in summer, sleeping in a pigsty in cold weather."

The more Nuan Qing listened, the more chilled she became, and she squatted down and said, "You must be living a hard life, right?"

Tang Xiaoxi wondered, "What is suffering?"

"Hmm..." Nuan Qing was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's just that you don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes, and you're being bullied."

Tang Xiaoxi thought for a while, then nodded: "It's true that I can't get enough to eat when I'm hungry, and it's cold in winter, but I don't have the ability to be bullied by others. I usually bully them, and no one has ever dared to bully me."

Just as Nuan Qing was about to continue asking, an anxious female voice suddenly came from behind her: "Nuan Qing, why did you come here, you scared me to death!" Nuan Qing turned her head when she heard this, and saw a woman in the clothes of Sogo Pavilion running away Come over and say happily: "Senior Sister Mi Yan!"

Mi Yan was tall and looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. When she saw Nuan Qingdeng, she became angry: "Why are you running around? What if you get lost?"

Nuan Qing scratched her head and said, "I was walking on the street, and suddenly I couldn't find my senior sister."

Mi Yan taught Nuan Qing a few words, then saw the dirty child behind her, and saw Nuan Qing's sword in his hand, and asked Nuan Qing suspiciously: "Who is this?"

Nuan Qing smiled and said, "It's...a little hero who saved me."

Mi Yan was also happy to hear her words: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But when he turned his head and saw the child, he couldn't help frowning slightly.Girls love to be clean, and Mi Yan is the same, not to mention that she is the only daughter of a rich family, and she has never been in contact with a child like Tang Xiaoxi.

She looked at Tang Xiaoxi, feeling a little disgusted, so she frowned and said to Nuan Qing, "Don't keep running around, it's hard for me to find you."

Then she looked back at Tang Xiaoxi and said, "What's your name?"

Tang Xiaoxi said with an unhappy face, "I don't have a name."

Nuan Qing took Mi Yan's hand and said: "Senior sister, he helped me, so don't be so cruel to him."

Seeing the two girls talking in front of her, she wanted to turn around and leave. Seeing that he was about to leave, Nuan Qing quickly grabbed him: "Don't leave yet."

Tang Xiaoxi was puzzled: "If I don't leave, what should I do?"

Nuan Qing said: "Come back to the inn with us, you are too dirty, we will wash it for you."

When Tang Xiaoxi heard that she was going to take a bath, her face turned dark: "I won't go."

As she said that, she was about to leave, Nuan Qing hugged him by the waist, the child's waist was very thin, and her hands and feet were also slender, it felt as if she would be crushed with a little force, Nuan Qing couldn't help feeling a little sore in her heart.

Tang Xiaoxi was still struggling, Nuan Qing hugged him and said, "The inn has delicious food, shall I take you there to eat?"

The child paused for a moment, then continued to struggle: "I can't even talk!"

In the end, Tang Xiaoxi still couldn't withstand Nuan Qing's attack, so she was taken to the inn, and then had the water boiled.

Tang Xiaoxi, who was soaking in the barrel, still looked unhappy, but she stopped struggling.

Nuan Qing helped him comb his knotted hair, and some of them were cut off with scissors because there were too many debris.

After washing it three times, Nuan Qing put on the underwear with satisfaction. After taking a shower, Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were foggy, and she looked very cute.

Nuan Qing liked him more and more, and couldn't help touching him a few more times.

When Mi Yan entered the door, she saw Tang Xiaoxi wearing a snow-white undershirt, sitting obediently next to Nuan Qing and letting her tease her, she couldn't help but said helplessly, "Nuan Qing, have you eaten yet?"

Nuan Qing didn't look back, just touched Tang Xiaoxi's little face and said with a smile: "No~"

Mi Yan also came over and sat down, looking at Tang Xiaoxi's flickering eyes, she immediately felt that this child was really good-looking.

When Tang Xiaoxi heard about eating, she stretched her neck slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The two buns left before were thrown away by Mi Yan long ago, and his clothes were also thrown away from the beginning.

Nuan Qing liked this child very much, he was beautiful and cute, and seeing that he seemed to want to eat, she asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Tang Xiaoxi looked at Nuan Qing and said, "I'm not hungry."

Mi Yan smiled and said to Nuan Qing: "Nuan Qing, let's go out and order food, he should be hungry too."

"Enen." Nuan Qing nodded: "Order more delicious food."

When the two girls went out together, Tang Xiaoxi lay on the bed bored.He used to be able to sleep wherever he lived, but now lying on the thick quilt, he felt a little uneasy...

Downstairs Nuan Qing was ordering food, Mi Yan looked at her and suddenly said, "Nuan Qing, what are you going to do with that child?"

Nuan Qing looked back at her senior sister and said with a smile: "He should be an orphan, we can take him back."

Mi Yan said: "The Chongguang Pavilion is not a shelter, not everyone can be taken in."

Nuan Qing scratched her head: "Well, I know the senior sister."

Mi Yan sighed: "What's more, we didn't go down the mountain this time to play. Have you forgotten our mission?"

The author has something to say:

I think Xiaoxi is very cute, even though I said so, I still encourage him to make him a serious person, um, he is cold.
