At that time, the demon hadn't grown up yet.

Qiao Zhen had no choice but to carry him back.

Entering the yard, I saw Yan Jinlan standing by the window with a book in his hands, looking in the direction of the yard. There was a wind vent on the other side of the window, and I don't know how long he had been blowing the cold wind, and his white face was already blown flushed.

Seeing him coming in, he first showed joy, and then quickly ran out, but when he reached the gate, his steps suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly at the person in his arms.

But soon, he came over with a smile on his face.

"you're back!"

Qiao Zhen said "um", and said to Yan Jinlan: "It's cold in the yard, go in quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."

As soon as he finished speaking, he passed Yan Jinlan and strode into the room.

He doesn't have any internal strength, and he is also a half-grown boy, so the strength in his arms is weak after all. Holding this child who is about the same size as Yan Jinlan all the way, his arms are almost exhausted. I can't do it any longer.

Qiao Zhen walked away in a hurry, without seeing the gloomy expression of the person behind him whom he ignored.

He took off his coat and put him on the bed, then tucked in the corner of the quilt, went to find the food that Wuji had brought in the cabinet, and finally brought a cup of hot water and put it on the table, waiting for the person on the bed to wake up.

Qiao Zhen's chivalrous heart, which he has cultivated for many years, makes him hate such things. What's more, his cheat book was given to him by this little guy. down.

Yan Jinlan stood behind him without saying a word. When Qiao Zhen turned around, she almost stepped on his foot.

"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?"

He touched Yan Jinlan's flushed face, frowned slightly, and immediately went to close the window.

Yan Jinlan's dark eyes stared straight at the person on the bed.

Qiao Zhen noticed something was wrong, pulled Yan Jinlan to sit down on the chair, and asked patiently, "What's wrong with you?"

Although there was a faint smile on his face, Qiao Zhen could tell that he was a little unhappy.

Yan Jinlan shook his head and asked him, "That man is Yan Tiancheng's most beloved son, why did you bring him back?"

The most beloved son?No way, he found this child in a icy and snowy environment. If he was the most favored, how could he stay in the rockery alone hungry, waiting for kind people to rescue him? Yan Jinlan must have made a mistake.

Yan Jinlan said: "You can't leave this child here, there will be problems."

Qiao Zhen touched his head with a smile, "Okay, there won't be any problem, even if you want to drive people away, at least you have to wait for them to wake up before making plans, you don't know, I When I saw him, he was alone in a cave on a rockery, and he was already dying."

Although he wasn't a real brother, he felt that Yan Jinlan should be able to understand him because he was also tortured.

The little guy gave him a dissatisfied look, then stood up suddenly, and walked out with big strides, with the appearance that he was obviously angry with him.

For this little guy who might turn into a demon at any moment, Qiao Zhen can be said to be a savage now. I'm afraid that if he is not careful, Yan Jinlan will coincide with the big demon in his memory.

Seeing Yan Jinlan going out in a huff, he quickly got up and wanted to follow. If Yan Jinlan was allowed to run around in this huge magic palace, something might happen.

However, before he could reach the door, he heard a small groaning sound behind him.

The child woke up.

His steps stopped immediately, and after a moment of hesitation, he sighed silently, walked over to the bed, brought hot water to feed the child, and then sent the food over.

"You're hungry, eat slowly, don't worry, if you think it's not enough, I'll get it for you."

The child devoured the meal hungrily, Qiao Zhen was very sad to see it.

After a while, all the food was eaten, Qiao Zhen asked again: "Are you still hungry, do you want me to get it for you?"

The child shook his head, "I'm full, thank you!"

Then he added, "You are the first person to treat me so well."

As he spoke, his voice became choked up, and those round apricot eyes were instantly filled with tears, looking pitiful.

Qiao Zhen wiped his tears with her sleeve, and persuaded softly: "Don't cry, a man bleeds but doesn't shed tears. If you keep crying like this, the girl you like will dislike you in the future."

Hearing what he said, the child choked up and nodded: "I see."

If Qiao Zhen had chased him out just now, he would have found that Yan Jinlan had not gone far, but had been standing under the eaves. The snow had already started to melt, and with the cold wind blowing, after a while, the woman in thin clothes Yan Jinlan felt cold all over.

He clenched his fist tightly, his sharp gaze seemed to punch a hole in the closed door.

After standing like this for a long time without seeing that person come out, Yan Jinlan finally exhausted all his patience, turned around and ran out of the yard.

In the room, after Qiao Zhen asked the child's name, the child became silent, which made Qiao Zhen realize that this child was as sensitive as Yan Jinlan.

"It's just a name, if you don't want to tell me, don't say it."

The child pursed his lips, and it took him a long time to utter two words: "I don't have a name, everyone calls me Yan Xiaowu."

Yan Xiaowu?Qiao Zhen recited the name silently, feeling a little astonished. Yan Jinlan was so unfavored that she still had a name. There was no reason to come to the little guy, and there was only one number left.

What's more, according to the rules in this magic palace, the two guardians on the left and right are Yan Yi and Yan Er, and the lower the rank, the more they will be placed in the back. Yan Tiancheng's behavior clearly regards this child as his subordinate.

Qiao Zhen was silent for a moment, and immediately comforted: "It's okay, the name Xiao Wu is also very nice."

Hearing what he said, Yan Xiaowu smiled slightly, but soon lowered his head.

"I have no place to live, can you... can you take me in?"

When it came to the second half of the sentence, Xiao Wu's voice had become very quiet, as if he was a little ashamed to speak.

Qiao Zhen had an epiphany, no wonder this little guy wanted to hide in that cave on the rockery alone, there was nowhere to go.

"It's not a problem to take you in, but, as you've seen, my place is small, and it's just right for me and Yan Jinlan to live in. If you're one more, I'm afraid we won't be able to live there."

Yan Xiaowu shook his head again and again, "It doesn't matter, I can just sleep on the couch over there, I don't take up much space as a small person."

Qiao Zhen glanced at the small couch, and nodded after a long time, "That's fine!"

Although it's just a small couch, it's better to sleep in the house than the icy and snowy outside, and it shouldn't be cold when the stove is turned on at night.

After making the decision, Qiao Zhen began to pack up. Yan Xiaowu had just recovered a little strength, and started to busy with him. He was not too tired. Qiao Zhen felt happy when he saw it, and couldn't help but sigh, It seems that he is still a very sensible child, but he was born in the magic palace out of helplessness. If he leaves here in the future, maybe he can take this child with him.
