Time travel without cheats

Ran Xiaole was woken up by Zhang San.

Xiao An was like a kitten looking for a nest, she got into her arms at some point, Ran Xiaole first "hush" to Zhang San, telling him not to wake up her younger brother, and then she realized that she was taken aback .

"Mom!"

The child who snuggled up to him snorted, opened his eyes in a daze, and there was still a hazy sleepiness in the cute voice: "Brother..."

Zhang San laughed and said, "I didn't wake this up."

"Go!" Ran Xiaole rolled his eyes at him, touched the child's cheek, and said softly: "Are you still sleepy? Let's sleep a little longer?"

"Yeah." Xiao An rubbed against his arm, "You stay with me."

"Okay." Ran Xiaole smiled, and pecked him on the forehead. Xiao An raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and soon fell asleep again.

"Your brother is really cute."

"That is."

"It's just a naughty age. A kid of this age in the village can herd cattle and harvest crops, but he clings to you all day long. He is too dependent on you."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Ran Xiaole pitifully rolled up the sideburns around Xiao An's ears, "This kid...forget it, let's not talk about him." He looked up at Zhang San, "By the way, there are cow herding dolls in this damn place What? Why didn't I see it?"

Zhang San's expression froze, "I'm talking about the past."

"what about now?"

"Do you still need to ask? No more."

"Why is it gone?

Zhang San lowered his eyes and didn't answer him, just said: "I'm going to Shi Mi, are you going?"

"Shmi? To whom?"

"are you going?"

Ran Xiaole was full of doubts, he didn't want to solve them, but a strange premonition told him that he had to solve them.He looked down at Xiao An who was sleeping soundly, and nodded.

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

"Ah."

Ran Xiaole tiptoedly pulled out her arms, and jumped off the kang lightly.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

Zhang San carried the rice bag onto the donkey cart. The rice bag was a bit heavy, and his feet felt numb, and he almost fell.Ran Xiaole hurried over to support him, "Why is a patient so desperate?"

Zhang San didn't speak, Ran Xiaole patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, I forgot to ask you, what happened yesterday? Why did you faint? Why did your face get worse? Why did you wake up suddenly? You already have the strength to carry rice ?”

"I said, don't make a fuss."

"So you're going to send me away?" Ran Xiaole asked relentlessly while helping Zhang San move the rice bag, "What the hell is that screaming thing?"

"bird."

"What bird?"

"owl."

"Ye..." Ran Xiaole laughed loudly, "Hey! I thought it was some kind of monster, but it turned out to be an owl."

Zhang San threw the rice bag in his hand into the donkey cart, and stared straight at Ran Xiaole, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? I've seen them before!" Ran Xiaole raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and recalled them carefully for a while, "But I've never heard them cry before, it's really scary."

"That's not a cry, it's a laugh."

Ran Xiaole snorted, "Brother, you're not going to tell me, 'I'm not afraid of night owls barking, but afraid of night owls laughing'?"

"you know?"

"Well, who doesn't know that in the countryside." Ran Xiaole hammered Zhang San's chest, and said with a smile: "But, you think it's the other way around. It's because someone dies that the owl hoots, not because the owl hoots and the person dies." .That is a good mouse-eating bird, with big eyes and cuteness. It is a national second-class protected animal. Don't harm others because of feudal superstition. You must respect science, understand?"

Zhang San tilted his head, with inexplicable writing all over his face, "What you said..."

"Haha, don't you understand?"

"I seem to understand but not understand."

"I don't know how to pull it down."

"Brother Ran, thank you."

Ran Xiaole blinked suspiciously, "Thank me for what?"

"I don't know how to pull it down." Zhang San smiled lightly, jumped onto the donkey cart, and pulled Ran Xiaole up, "Let's go."

"Oh."

The sky has just turned white, and there are no chickens and dogs in the deserted villages, no yellow hair, no early-rising peasant women and smoke, and of course there will be no aunts who are happy to do morning exercises and dance in the square. In the past, there was nothing but the same ashes and desolation.

Ran Xiaole was sitting in the back of the donkey cart, asking questions endlessly, he was just like this, he talked to himself when no one was with him, and he didn't care if the other party wanted to listen when he was with him, just go ahead and talk.

Anyway, it wasn't for communicating with anyone, it was just to relieve loneliness.

"Ah San, Ah San? Ah San!"

Zhang San absolutely regretted bringing this person out, and turned his head impatiently, "Can't you just sit still?"

"If you don't tell me, I will be dishonest." Ran Xiaole poked Zhang San's back restlessly, "I said, are you really okay?"

"Ah."

"What did you do last night?"

"Someone died last night."

"uh-huh?"

"... "

"That's... the end?"

"Ah."

"No, what does the dead have to do with you? Did you kill it? Or go to collect the corpse?"

"almost."

"How much difference is it?"

"Here we are." Zhang San got out of the donkey cart, scooped the rice into a small cloth bag, and put it at the door of each house from door to door, without much lingering.

"I said, don't you talk to the people inside?"

"No need."

"What happened to this village?"

Zhang San jumped on the donkey cart, pulled the rein, and walked a long way slowly, not stopping until the next street.

"plague."

"What?" The man with extremely uncoordinated limbs actually jumped up on the bumpy donkey cart, "You fucking..."

"I don't have the disease."

"You're already like this? Do you think I'm a fool? Is this thing contagious?"

Zhang San didn't care about the yelling behind him, and said nonchalantly, "Since it's a plague, what do you think?"

"Infecting you and calling us brothers!" Ran Xiaole shouted, "Stop, I want to go down!"

"Where to go?"

"Take my child and leave this place of right and wrong!"

"You can't get out, just as you can't get in."

"you…"

"In the whole village, only I don't have the disease, and only with me will not get the disease." Zhang San stopped the donkey cart, turned and stared at Ran Xiaole, "Do you believe it?"

"I…"

Ran Xiaole didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that Thaksin believed it.

"Then what happened to your face?"

"I don't have the plague, but I am sick."

"What disease?"

Zhang San smiled sadly, turned around again, and turned his back to Ran Xiaole, "Anyway, he won't surpass others."

"So you just give rice to every family?"

"Ah."

"Why only you can enter the village? Why let us enter the village?"

"It's not you, it's your brother."

"Xiao An?" Ran Xiaole rushed up and grabbed Zhang San's neck, and said sharply, "What are you going to do to him?"

Zhang San didn't seem to feel anything, and there was a sneer in his sharp eyes, "I won't hurt him, and I won't hurt you either."

With a slight push of his arm, Ran Xiaole fell down on the donkey cart again, staring at him absent-mindedly, his eyes full of defense and puzzlement.

"why?"

"You'll know."

Ran Xiaole took a deep breath, wanted to ask something more, but didn't want to say any more.

He stopped making noise, just stared at the dry grass beside his feet with his knees folded. At this moment, he could almost kill all his luck.Ran Xiaoan is that person.

Duan Ran.

What kind of secret is he carrying?

A secret that even he himself does not know.

"Here we are." Zhang San parked the donkey cart at the door of his hut, and said to Ran Xiaole, "You go in first, I'll go out of the village to buy some grain, and I'll be back at night."

Ran Xiaole nodded indiscriminately, "Why don't you buy more at a time?"

Zhang San smiled, "Are you willing to talk to me?"

"I don't want to, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Ran Xiaole clumsily climbed out of the donkey cart and snorted softly, "I can't help it."

"Haha, it's up to you." Zhang San threw him the last bag of rice, and said with a smile, "This donkey cart has only so much space, even if I want to buy more, I can't. If you are hungry, you can use this first to satisfy your hunger."

"Well, where do you get the money for buying so much rice every day?"

"Why do you have so many questions?" Zhang San pressed his head, "In short, just don't steal or rob."

"Oh." Ran Xiaole held the rice bag and licked his lips, "Brother Zhang San."

"What else?"

"You won't lie to me, will you?"

"What do you think?"

Ran Xiaole nodded with a wry smile, "Take care on the road."

Zhang San hummed and drove away in the donkey cart.

As soon as Ran Xiaole entered the door, he was staggered by a flustered figure. Xiao An had grown a lot taller, but in his eyes, he was always that thin and cute child.

"Xiao An?"

Ran Xiaoan stared at him intently, his eyes were flushed, his biting lips trembled slightly, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

Ran Xiaole panicked, quickly supported Xiao An's shoulders, and said anxiously: "What's wrong? Why are you still crying?"

"You said you would accompany me! Why are you leaving?"

"Xiao An, I..."

"The night my grandfather died, I couldn't see you when I opened my eyes. The night I was arrested by Fang Jin to practice, I still couldn't see you when I opened my eyes. Today, in this strange village, I opened my eyes and saw you." I still can’t see you! But you clearly promised to stay with me! How can you not count your words? How can you lie to me?!”

Ran Xiaoan cried and ran back to the house, and slammed the door with a "bang". Ran Xiaole was startled at first, and hurriedly chased after his brother, but the door was locked.

Ran Xiaole knocked on the door desperately, and explained repeatedly: "Xiao'an, I followed Zhang Sange to deliver rice, and I want to ask him what happened last night..."

"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't have the heart to call you, I was thinking... thinking about it for just a short while, you shouldn't be able to wake up..."

There was no movement in the room, Ran Xiaole was flustered, Xiao An was always soft and soft, never had a little temper with herself, and never played a little temper, she was so obedient as a child.Even when his dearest relative passed away, he just swallowed all the pain alone, and refused to even cry.

Ran Xiaole was terrified, terrified that the door of her heart, which had been pried open with great difficulty, would no longer be able to tolerate herself because of her carelessness for a while.

"Brother is wrong, you open the door for brother, I will go in and talk to you, okay?"

"Xiao An... Brother, please, don't be angry, it's all my fault, you can ask me to make amends, just don't ignore brother..."

"Xiao An, just say something... just say something... don't do this, don't scare brother, okay..."

The door still hadn't been knocked open, Ran Xiaole shouted hoarsely, tried to kick the door twice, but was bounced instead.He was heartbroken, sad and blamed himself, but the child in the room just didn't say a word, neither complained nor cried, as if in despair, silent.

This is what Ran Xiaole fears the most.

indifferent.

Ran Xiaole leaned against the door and sat on the ground, whimpering in a hoarse voice: "Xiao'an, brother is at the door, wait for you to calm down and answer, tell me you are okay, brother don't leave..."

Homeless children are sensitive and fragile, but they all like to put on a hard body covered with barbs.But when he turned his soft belly towards him and let him caress wantonly, it meant that he not only trusted him, not only relied on him, but was even more afraid of losing him.

Those who are rarely happy are most afraid of reaping empty joy.

Afraid to find fault.

I just want to keep proving that your tenderness and love for me belong to me alone, even if everything is destroyed, it will not be shaken or changed.

Ran Xiaole sat outside the house for an unknown amount of time, her eyes were sore and swollen, and seeing that the sky was once again covered with a thick layer of haze, the rainstorm was approaching, which seemed to be earlier than yesterday.

The drizzle of rain hit his face, and it soon became pouring. In a blink of an eye, Ran Xiaole was thoroughly drenched, and the coldness of autumn pierced his bones. He was shivering, but he didn't dare to ask Xiao An to open the door for him.

With a "squeak", the door still opened.

"elder brother…"

Enough is enough, it's worth it.

Ran Xiaole stood up supporting her numb legs, and touched her younger brother's cheek with her cold palm, "Xiao An, are you hungry?"

"Um…"

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Ran Xiaole tried step by step, not knowing whether it was cold or nervous, he carefully hugged the child who was almost half a head taller than him, and begged in a trembling voice: "Don't... don't throw me...Xiao An...I I'm afraid...don't throw me away..."

I am the same person.

"elder brother…"

Ran Xiaoan hugged him back.

There is no need to say anything more.

Ran Xiaole was wrapped in a quilt and leaned against the kang, sneezing one after another, the iron pot was gurgling and cooking sparse rice soup, Xiao An curled up in his arms, hugged his waist and refused to let go.

"Brother, it's all my fault."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not your fault."

"Just blame me."

"Do not blame you."

"Just blame me!"

"Okay, okay, blame you, blame you." Ran Xiaole touched the child's face with the tip of her nose, and said seriously: "Xiao An, I promise, this is the last time, and it will never happen again, okay?"

"Really?"

"Well. From now on, I will take you with me wherever I go. I will take you with me when you sleep, I will take you with me when I pee, and I will take you with me when I poop, okay?"

Xiao An pursed her lips and smiled shyly, buried her head in her brother's neck, "Then, it's done."

"Yeah." Ran Xiaole kissed him on the forehead, "If you lie to me again, brother will go down to accompany grandpa."

A pair of small hands quickly covered his mouth, Xiao An looked at him in horror, "Don't..."

Ran Xiaole held his hand, pressed him tightly into her arms, and made a solemn promise in his ear:

"No, brother will always be with Xiao An, forever..."

The author has something to say:

The relationship between the two slowly develops naturally, Xiaoan will grow up quickly, you have to watch it~

thank you all!
