The Concubine of Crossing

Li Xiao actually wanted to teach them calligraphy, but the children were eager to learn martial arts, and today this incident happened again, and they always felt that it was not safe for the children to live here.

After thinking about it, he simply taught them some self-defense techniques first.They're all a group of kids, so it's good to stay here and know some self-defense techniques.

Seeing that Li Xiao was willing to teach, the eyes of each of the children lit up, among other things, their posture was called a foot.

The children are eager to learn, and Li Xiao is also very happy to teach, and it is night before you know it.

Thinking that the children have been tired all day, they are going to sell steamed buns in the morning, and they are still tossed by him in the afternoon, and they are probably exhausted enough, so he should do his best to help cook some meals.

After entering the kitchen, I realized that apart from the buns and steamed buns I brought back, there was only rice... These children...

Li Xiao was a little speechless. Fortunately, when he was around, he would buy more vegetables and meat every time, just to let them bring them back to eat. Now that they have made their own decisions, they are reluctant to eat.

At this time, it is obviously too late to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and come back to cook. Li Xiao has no choice but to cook gruel with rice. Thinking that the children may be a little bored eating steamed buns and steamed buns every day, he simply poured oil on the porridge. Heat up the pot, then slice the steamed buns and fry them.

It's a pity that there is no sugar, otherwise sprinkle some sugar on it, it will definitely make the children salivate.

Even so, when Li Xiao brought the fried buns and steamed buns to the table, the children still sniffed and came over with bright eyes.

The children were very happy to eat the meal. Li Xiao didn't plan to eat more, but he couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the children, so he couldn't help but also ate several bowls.Fortunately, he cooked a lot, otherwise he would have snatched rations from the children.

After eating and drinking enough, Hemerocallis spontaneously took over the job of washing dishes, Li Xiao looked at the sky, and if he didn't go back again, the third son should be worried.Saying goodbye to the children, I told them to close the door tightly at night, it is best to put something on it, and find some self-defense weapons beside them.

The children nodded obediently when they heard what he said.

Li Xiao gave instructions again, and when he went out, he saw that the children had closed the door, so he turned around to leave, and then saw a person standing in the corner of the wall not far away.

At first Li Xiao thought it was that little uncle who had a wicked heart, but after a closer look, isn't this his Young Master Luo?Li Xiao suddenly felt a headache, how did this young master find here.

Naturally, Luo Laibao had seen him a long time ago. Seeing him looking over, he strode towards him, and before he got close, he already showed a bright smile, "Xiao Xiao, let's go home."

I don't know if it was the setting sun that was infinitely beautiful, or Luo Laibao's smile was too bright, or maybe Li Xiao was slightly touched by that sentence of going home, and at that moment, he seemed to have a sense of belonging to that small courtyard inexplicably.

The two walked side by side on the way home, Luo Laibao took the initiative to find a topic, "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Li Xiao hummed, thought for a while and said, "I named the children."

Luo Laibao has already answered smoothly, "Li Shu, Li Yueban, Li Liancao, Li Si, Li Ya, Li Xiaoman, Li Sanqi... Oh, counting the time, Li Sanqi should not be with you now. around you."

Li Xiao's footsteps paused.If he might have been a little skeptical before, now that Luo Laibao has said this, he completely believes his words.

Tsk... It's hard to believe that Master Luo, who was reborn and full of hatred, can still have such a calm expression after going through such an embarrassing future.

Sensing Li Xiao's gaze, Master Luo turned his head and gave him a sweet smile.

Li Xiao looked away in embarrassment, it seemed that no matter when Master Luo looked at him, he always had such a smiling face... Really, it was a bit overwhelming.

Seeing Li Xiao turned his head, Luo Laibao's eyelashes trembled, his fingers moved slightly, and he tentatively reached out to hold Li Xiao's hand, but Li Xiao avoided it just when he hurriedly touched it.

Luo Laibao's eyes dimmed a bit, and then he said to Li Xiao as if nothing had happened, "Xiao Xiao, are you interested in managing the family business?"

Li Xiao subconsciously wanted to shake his head and refuse.

Luo Laibao kicked away the stone in front of him, and said in a muffled voice, "My parents are getting old, I don't want them to work so hard. But I want to go to school again, and I don't have so much time to manage family affairs... Xiao Xiao , help me, please? Apart from you, I have no one I can trust."

Li Xiao didn't know what to say, this behavior of begging to give away the family property made him think that Master Luo had lost his mind after being reborn.

Luo Laibao looked at his expression and said cautiously, "When you take over the family property and earn money, you can give the children a better environment or help more people."

Li Xiao paused slightly.

"In two years' time, there will be a severe drought over there. There hasn't been a drop of rain for two full years, and the people can be said to have no crops. Except for a few wealthy families, almost no one has enough to eat." Luo Laibao said Looking at the south, he said in a flat tone, "At that time, there were more than tens of thousands of people who starved to death without being full?"

Li Xiao frowned. This era is different from the era he lived in. There is no artificial rainfall, and two years of severe drought is already a serious natural disaster.

Natural disasters mean death.

He feels that he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is struggling to support himself, and helping a few children is just doing what he can do. He is not as selfless and great as Luo Laibao thinks. He cannot bear the responsibility for his life.

"You, have you misunderstood me?" Li Xiao felt that in Luo Laibao's eyes, did he have been given a tenth level of beauty, and the filter was so heavy that it was seriously inconsistent with him.

Luo Laibao smiled, "Then let's not talk about people in the world, just to have enough money for everyone to live in the future...Xiao Xiao, are you willing to help me?"

Li Xiao thought about his little savings, and then thought about the dilapidated house where the child stayed, and the dinner with nothing but rice, he finally nodded, "Master and Madam..."

"It's okay, father and mother like you very much! They are very relieved to leave it to you." Luo Laibao smiled sweetly at Li Xiao again.

Li Xiao silently turned his head.

This was the first time Li Xiao walked through Luo's house, and he was still with Master Luo.Luo Laibao consciously synchronized with Li Xiao, so the concierge who saw the two of them entering the door was surprised, but still warmly greeted, "Young master, Mr. Li!"

Hearing that Li Xiao was called Mr. Li, Luo Laibao was obviously very satisfied, and nodded to the porter for a rare moment, which immediately made the porter feel very flattered, and when the two left, he confirmed with his companion, "That was the young master just now, right?" ? Am I not mistaken?"

The companion was also shocked, and unconsciously followed the background where the two left, and said with some uncertainty, "It should be... right?"

After entering the gate, Luo Laibao went straight to Li Xiao's small courtyard, Li Xiao opened his mouth, "Have you not returned to sleep in your own courtyard for a long time?"

Luo Laibao turned his head and looked at him innocently, "I will have nightmares when I sleep by myself, and I can't sleep."

Li Xiao thought that when he first came here, he would dream about the past every night, and then he woke up and didn't know what it was like tonight, so he seemed to understand Master Luo's feelings a little bit.

Then, it was hard to say a strong refusal, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "You can ask the doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine."

Young Master Luo looked at him, "You are the best soothe the nerves! With you here, why should I drink those bitter medicines?" He frowned as he spoke, "It's very bitter."

Here again, this kind of deep powerlessness that is unique to Luo Laibao.There is an old saying: A cow who gnaws on a pumpkin has nowhere to start, and he feels this way every time he encounters Luo Laibao.

This person really knows him very well, and every time he speaks and does things, he hovers at the limit of his patience. Except for the one time he stepped on his bottom line and was cleaned up by him once, he always stepped on the safe range and tested him in various ways. .Let him be angry, unable to fight, full of helplessness.

Li Xiao used to think about moving out of Luo Mansion all day long, but now he feels more and more tied to this place.

Li Xiao was wondering if he had a fledgling plot.

When the two returned to the side courtyard, the meal had already been delivered, and the third son was waiting at the door.Seeing the two of them hurriedly and enthusiastically gathered around, "Master, son, you are back~"

Li Xiao looked at his wrinkled face, feeling a little helpless, "Sir, don't use such force when you smile, your face is almost wrinkled."

The third son heheed twice, and his smile widened by two points.Li Xiao shook his head, and followed Master Luo, who didn't know how to be polite, into the room.Luo Laibao had already finished the meal and put it beside him, "Come and eat, I guess you probably haven't had enough with the children."

Li Xiao: "..."

Looking at the bowl in front of him, and then at the table full of his favorite food, Li Xiao finally understood why he always had Luo Laibao and couldn't help it.

Luo Laibao knew him too well, always knew where his bottom line was, and knew how to approach slowly without causing him to rebound.

Li Xiao thought of a word inexplicably in his mind, boil the frog in warm water.He felt that he was standing in front of a large cauldron, and that person had put water of a suitable temperature in the cauldron, and was dragging him into the cauldron.

And the water temperature is not too bad, Li Xiao crouched in the pot, hesitating when he should jump into it.

After the two finished their meal, Luo Laibao took the initiative to clean up the dishes.He has learned a lot these days, at least washing dishes is no longer a problem.

Li Xiao is already used to the behavior of his third son disappearing at night, and also to Master Luo's behavior of lying on his bed every night. Of course, it would be better if Master Luo didn't always rub against him in the middle of the night.

And the most frightening thing is that when he woke up, he found someone lying in his arms, and he didn't subconsciously kick him down last night...

Li Xiao scratched his head, feeling that habit is really a terrible thing.
