The two brothers walked towards the distant smoke for more than an hour, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, but this road seemed to have no end, winding to the endless distance, and the silence was terrifying.

Ran Xiaole counted the days, and it was the season when the wheat was ripe, but the crop fields beside the road couldn't even be seen, not to mention people, even a grass.The more he thought about it, the weirder he became. He had read too many online novels, and his imagination was like a wild horse running wild. It didn't take long for him to scare his back into a layer of cold sweat.

"Xiao An." Ran Xiaole stopped, "I don't think so?"

Ran Xiaoan got down early and left on his own, grabbing the burden and carrying it on his back. "What's wrong?"

"Brother's eyes are not good, look at it, isn't it cooking smoke?"

"Yes, Baiyan."

"Who's going to have to cook for so long!" Ran Xiaole became more and more suspicious, and unconsciously pulled his brother towards him, "Look again, is there anyone around here?"

Ran Xiaoan looked around, "No."

"Really not?"

"No."

Ran Xiaole's heart was beating wildly, thinking of what Ling Qi said before leaving, he felt as if he had fallen into a spooky situation.

No matter how bad it is, you have to hang on. Since all the roads lead to Rome, there is no retreat.

"elder brother."

"what?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"I…"

Xiao An leaned on his arm, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Ran Xiaole smiled ugly, but she felt a little more relaxed in her heart, "Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao An shook her head, "I'm not afraid if you're here."

"You boy..."

Nervousness was diluted by a warm current, Ran Xiaole felt as if he was bleeding from chicken blood, strode forward a few meters, and then slipped back to pick up his brother who was motionless, "Let's go, why are you standing there?"

"No, brother, someone is here."

"people?"

Before the words fell, I heard the sound of "creaking" from far to near, Ran Xiaole was startled, so why not let us walk forward alone?This is not as good as being deserted!

"Brother, it looks like a donkey cart."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Ran Xiaole hugged Xiao An and hid behind a tree by the side of the road, looking around fearfully, "Oh, really!"

"Did you enter the village?"

Ran Xiaole frowned, the two of them had been walking for almost a day, and they didn't even see the dog hair in the village. According to the pissing nature of Dead Bird's book, although this donkey cart was full of gloomyness, it must be used to deliver Even if the NPCs they were on the road encountered were in danger, it would not be the case now.

"Yeah." Without much time to think, Ran Xiaole once again rushed out faster with his body than his brain, "Brother!"

"Call-"

Ran Xiaole ran too fast, tripped over a stone and staggered, and lay flat in front of the donkey cart, just looking at the pair of proud and big nostrils.

"Brother!" Ran Xiaoan quickly helped his brother who was in a panic, squatted down and patted the dirt on his knees, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ran Xiaole didn't care about the scratches on his hands, and patted his head, "Let's get down to business first, you stand behind me."

"Oh."

Xiao An responded obediently, and Ran Xiaole finally squeezed out a welcoming smile.

"this…"

"Step aside."

Ah?The cold water was poured just in time.

Anyway, thick-skinned, Quan pretended not to hear.

Ran Xiaole sorted out her stunned expression, cupped her hands and said, "Brother, my brother and I got lost here, and there seems to be a village where we can stay in the distance. It's getting late, can you please You give us a ride?"

Ran Xiaole didn't dare to raise his eyes, and only put on a respectful and humble look, so there was a brief enigmatic silence in the small area with the donkey's head as the center.

"That...brother..."

"Heh." The man chuckled slightly mockingly, "You really want to ride in my donkey cart?"

Ran Xiaole complained, why don't you want to sit on me!

He grinned the corners of his mouth to his ears, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "We won't sit in vain, please trouble brother."

"Okay."

Ran Xiaole was overjoyed, and just about to turn around and tell Xiao An to get in the car, her younger brother gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Brother..."

"Ok?"

"He He…"

Ran Xiaole was taken aback, and only then did she notice something strange, this person spoke in a strange way, and he refused so much that he simply agreed to it, could it be a fraud?

Ran Xiaole still maintained an awkward but polite smile, boldly looked at the people on the donkey cart, and regretted looking up.

Fortunately, I just relieved myself by the roadside.

This person was wearing a moldy coir hat, and a gust of wind blew past at the right time, which lifted the black veil on it, and also gave Ran Xiaole goosebumps by the way.

He was so scared that he forgot that he had been staring at this person for a long time.

The left half of this man's face was clear and handsome, with a morbid paleness, while the right half was bloated and ugly, covered with purple pustules. Ran Xiaole swallowed subconsciously. If it wasn't for his nearsightedness, he might even suffer from mass phobia. They are all going to commit crimes.

The man wrapped himself up extremely tightly, even the hand holding the rein only exposed the back of a scrawny hand, and the protruding blood vessels were oozing a terrifying blue color.

The hair is creepy.

"Still riding in a donkey cart?"

As if he was used to it, the man was indifferent to Ran Xiaole's shock, "If you miss my donkey cart, you will never be able to enter the village today. Tomorrow..." The man stared at Ran Xiaole with a half-smile, "I will meet again tomorrow Me, I won't stop."

"Only you can enter the village?"

"Only me. Do you believe it?"

I believe, I believe in everything.

Ran Xiaole took a deep breath, and died.

He turned to Xiao An and asked, "Xiao An, are you afraid?"

Xiao An shook her head, and said the same thing: "Brother is here, I'm not afraid."

Ran Xiaole smiled and pinched his cheek, "Then shall we sit down?"

"Ok!"

Ran Xiaole gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smirk, "Thank you, brother."

"It's okay, let's get in the car."

Ran Xiaole nodded, for some reason, he trusted this person inexplicably.Based on his experience, if one could see people's hearts clearly through a single face, how could there be so many piously dressed beasts in this world?People with strange appearances are often not the real evil ones.

The mask on his face is gone, and the mask on his heart can no longer be worn.

"Brother, come."

Xiao An jumped onto the donkey cart and dragged his brother, who was not working hard, up. Before Ran Xiaole could sit still, the man pulled the reins, and he was loaded into the haystack behind him with his whole body stretched out. Quite comfortable.

The man didn't turn his head, and threw back a bamboo hat and a cloak casually, "There will be heavy rain in a while, you two brothers can make use of it."

"Oh." Ran Xiaole didn't dislike the musty-smelling bamboo hat, she just poked her head curiously, "Hey, where did you conjure this up?"

The man didn't answer, but just asked, "Are you not afraid of me?"

"Well. Don't be afraid."

"It gets fast enough."

"You're just ugly, just get used to it."

"You got used to it so quickly?"

"Yeah. I don't have good eyesight. I didn't really see what you look like. It's just a brain supplement."

"Brain... what?"

"Hey, it's nothing. Anyway, I don't discriminate against you."

The man laughed loudly, "You are weird. Okay, there is still a way to go. If you two brothers don't mind, you can lie down for a while."

eccentric?Can I have you weird?

This person's temperament is uncertain, and Ran Xiaole is too lazy to waste his brain cells to speculate indiscriminately, he will lose his words if he says too much, so he said thank you, and the two of them tacitly agreed, and stopped talking.

The place behind the car is not big, Ran Xiaole wrapped Xiao An in his arms, and nodded his nose, "Are you tired after walking for a day?"

Xiao An acted like a baby and rubbed against him, "I'm not tired, brother is even more tired."

"I'm not tired either." Ran Xiaole smiled, "Come on, let's rely on brother to sleep for a while."

Xiao An hummed, but didn't close his eyes. He spread Ran Xiaole's palm, and carefully touched the scratched blood on it, "Brother, does it still hurt?"

Ran Xiaole's heart burned, she wanted to say it didn't hurt, but somehow she wanted to be insincere, so she blurted out: "Yes, it hurts."

"Ah?" The child turned his head to look at him, his big eyes were full of worry and concern, as if this small scratch could kill his brother, "Then...then I'll give you a shout, grandpa said , it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Ran Xiaole smiled, and sent his palm to his mouth, "Okay, then give me a hug."

As if holding something fragile, the child blew on the not-so-deep wound like a baby, and when his lips touched the rough palm, a numb itching spread to the apex of his heart, making Ran Xiaole's eye sockets sore.

Ran Xiaole has always been wondering, he is not a person of high morals, he is not a person who keeps his promises, and he doesn't even bother to meddle in other people's affairs.But since meeting such a child who lost his father and mother, he desperately wanted to bring him up, asking for trouble like this, what the hell was he trying to do?

In the past, he felt that what he was looking for was just companionship in loneliness and confusion.

Now he understands.

A man who treasures his non-recyclable garbage.

He just lacks love, and he loves whoever cherishes him.

"Brother, are you feeling better?"

"Well. It doesn't hurt anymore."

A little bit of cold dripped from the back of her neck, Xiao An froze, and turned her head to look at Ran Xiaole blankly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Huh?" Ran Xiaole wiped away tears in a panic, "No, it's okay, I'm just..."

Just become greedy.

"The wind blows."

Xiao An quickly turned over and knelt down in front of Ran Xiaole, wrapping her arms around her brother's neck. Ran Xiaole smiled through tears and held his waist, "What are you doing? Sit down soon, be careful not to fall."

"I will protect my brother from the wind."

"Stupid boy..." Ran Xiaole bit his lip, trying his best to suppress the imminent bursting of the dike, he couldn't stand it.

It's not because he is heartless, but because no one wants to pay attention to his delicateness.

Ran Xiaole never imagined that one day, he would be so dependent on a ten-year-old chest.

Really worthless.

He tightly hugged the small waist in his arms, and stuck to his brother's chest like a child, his voice was hoarse and proud: "Xiao An, brother will not leave you..."

"elder brother…"

"I won't leave you..."

"…Um!"

Xiao An didn't quite understand what happened to his brother, he just hugged Ran Xiaole's head and smiled happily.

"Both of you, it's raining, sit down quickly."

"Oh." Ran Xiaole finally got out of the injury, sniffed embarrassingly, "Xiao An, come on, sit down."

"No." The child put his head around his head stubbornly, "It's windy."

Ran Xiaole patted him on the back, said with a smile: "It's okay, let's put on the bamboo hat, brother won't be afraid of the wind, come on."

"Oh." Xiao An obediently sat back in his brother's arms, Ran Xiaole put on a wide hat, and wrapped the child tightly in the cloak, "This way we won't be able to get wet."

"Hey..." Xiao An foolishly leaned on Ran Xiaole's shoulder, "Brother, you are so kind."

"That's all."

"I can't figure it out."

"Then I'll teach you one?"

"Ah."

"Just say... um... 'Brother, you're so handsome!'"

"Handsome? Marshal?"

"No, it means that I am good-looking and a handsome man."

"So someone like me is called 'handsome'?"

Ran Xiaole snorted, "You're quite self-aware."

The child got out of the cloak, shook his head, and smiled like a flower: "Brother, you are so handsome! You are so handsome! You, so, so handsome!"

Ran Xiaole has never been praised by anyone in his life, this kind of sincere praise of his appearance is nothing more than self-deception, even if he is shameless, he can't help but blush. "That... just praise me."

"Hee hee, brother, you are so kind."

The more Ran Xiaole looked at the child in his arms, the more he liked it. He lowered his head and touched Xiao An's with the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "I see, handsome boy."

"hey-hey…"

"Two fools."

"hey-hey…"

The two brothers chatted and laughed all the way, but it didn't feel like they had been walking for a long time. The driver in front didn't say a word, and Ran Xiaole didn't even want to strike up a conversation with him, just treat him as air.People in this different world are too unpredictable, it's better not to mess with them.

It wasn't until the sound of the donkey's hooves stopped abruptly that the man turned his head slightly, "Here we are."

"Thank you." Ran Xiaole put the bamboo hat on his younger brother's head before getting out of the car, and asked casually, "Brother, when will the rain stop?"

"Children."

What time is child time?

Forget it doesn't matter.

Ran Xiaole took out some broken silver from his cuff, "It's not a respect."

"The money will be collected, but there is no rush."

Ran Xiaole blinked, "What do you mean?"

The man looked at him, "Aren't you going to stay here? I have a place at home."

Ran Xiaole was stunned for a moment, "Is this... too much trouble for you?"

The half of the pale face raised the corners of its lips, "You can give it a try, in this village, no one is willing to take you in except me, no matter how much money you have."

"Really?"

"I'm serious, do you believe it?"

Damn, I really believed it.

Well, I've been tired all day, so don't mess around.

Ran Xiaole held the child's hand, and bowed to the person: "Then don't disturb me."

The man laughed loudly, pointing to a thatched hut not far from the entrance of the village, "That's right there, please."
