Xia Xueyi secretly calculated, and then he tried to go out of the city to find Xie Xiang.

Thinking like this, his heart suddenly brightened, and he nodded and smiled at Aunt Wu: "Exactly...... Sister Wu, instead of looking at us in this smelly deserted garden, why don't you just invite me and Hongyao to have a drink? ”

Xia Xueyi stood in the middle of the sunset, her long jade white clothes fluttering, and a pair of starry eyes looked at Aunt Wu with a smile, and almost didn't make Aunt Wu drool for two catties.

Originally, when He Hongyao said this, Aunt Wu was already ready to refuse in her heart, hum, at this time, she still wanted to be close to the old lady? It's a beautiful idea!

But Xia Xueyi, a beautiful man who had always been cold and didn't have a good face, suddenly changed his expression, and even said this with a smile...... Aunt Wu couldn't hold it anymore.

She couldn't help but turn her pair of Danfeng eyes, which were exaggerated to the point of enchantment: Damn, what does the old lady want money for? Not just to eat well and have fun? There is such a good-looking and fun beautiful man in front of him......

…………

Xie Xiang walked towards the broken grass huts with his hands covering his eyes.

However, when Xie Xiang didn't dare to look back and approached these dilapidated houses very tragically, the heart that had been hanging in his stomach was finally quietly put into his stomach.

Thankfully, there was still life here.

And what comforted Xie Xiang was that it was still a non-threatening ...... He was really scared.

A short figure with unkempt hair, unable to distinguish whether it was a boy or a girl, was holding some branches and firewood in his arms, and staggered towards the dilapidated house with the door open.

Xie Xiang suddenly remembered the pair of grandchildren he met when he first entered Wuzhou City, the little boy named Ai Ye also looked like this, hey, in today's years, are there such ragged and thin children with thin muscles and insufficient nutrition?

The child holding the firewood and grass was keenly aware of the footsteps behind him.

With instinct, he immediately carried the firewood and grass in his arms into the kitchen quickly, and then quickly looked back and peeked: if it was someone who looked dangerous, what should he do? If yes......

"Childe?"

At the first glance of Xie Xiang, the child let out a cry of surprise and joy.

Then, he ran out with some cheers.

Xie Xiang opened his mouth wide.

"Aiye? No way? ”

He couldn't believe it, there was really such a coincidence in the world?

No wonder at the first glance of this short back, he couldn't help but think of Ai Ye's ancestors and grandchildren, it turned out that this child was Xiao Ai Ye at all.

I don't know what kind of family these grandparents and grandchildren are? I don't know why looking at this dilapidated house, the situation of the weak Ai Ye entering the house with a salary, Xie Xiang faintly felt that this might be a family with a somewhat zero population.

The tall red willow trees by the river grow leisurely in a good ecological environment, and the bright branches and lush foliage set off those few dilapidated houses, which can only make people like Xie Xiang feel a deep sense of depression at this time: How can you live in such a dilapidated house with these excellent building materials?

However, in this era of war and robbery, young and middle-aged people who are passive and active have almost all joined the ranks of the brave and fierce of the state and the private nature.

Whether it is for soldiers or bandits, these young and middle-aged people are almost a group destined to wither short-lived, so in the suburbs of the countryside, there are always the old, weak, sick and disabled who operate with negative salaries.

It is an indisputable fact that there is no false language to glorify the falsehood.

As for the construction of a house, which often requires ten or twenty strong laborers, it is indeed a very painful thing.

Because either you have enough labor in your own house, or you have enough money in your pocket to afford it. Visually inspecting this family, it is estimated that these two conditions must not be able to be met.

"Childe, why did you come to us?"

Ai Ye didn't know how many thoughts of the rise and fall of countries Xie Xiang had turned in his heart in an instant, he pounced on Xie Xiang happily, and his delicate little face was full of eyebrows and smiles.

Outside the city gate in the morning, grandfather's worthless "waste" medicinal materials, this eldest brother rewarded them with half a penny of silver for nothing, in the minds of Ai Yezu and grandson, Xie Xiang is a great benefactor who wants to help them.

The sudden appearance of such a great benefactor that they could never have dreamed of simply matched the feeling of Ai Ye and Xie Xiang when they were separated in the morning, and the joy in Ai Ye's heart really didn't need to be mentioned.

The child's heart is the most sincere, and Xie Xiang's skin is so likeable, so no matter where Xie Xiang comes from? What the hell is it for? They were all ignored by Ai Ye, and only showed his greatest joy and welcome.

"I ......"

Xie Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, he was afraid that if he said too bizarrely, he would scare the enthusiastic child, and he said it too lightly and swept away the surprise that the child was full of.

So, he put a pretended relaxed smile on his face.

"Uh...... I just want to go out of the city to find an old man, I don't want to get lost, I walked here randomly, I was a little tired, I saw someone here, I wanted to beg for water, I didn't think it was the little brother who lived here? What about the old man? ”

Xie Xiang was called a little brother, Ai Ye suddenly blushed a little, and said shyly: "Son, just call me Ai Ye, my grandfather is ...... Oh, Childe, please sit down in the house, rest before talking, my grandfather should be back soon. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and led Xie Xiang into the house.

Xie Xiang was secretly glad in his heart, he was suddenly put in such a hurry by Xia Xueyi, he didn't expect to meet the well-behaved and sensible Ai Ye, Xie Xiang never believed in the good and the good, but what happened outside the city gate this morning, although it was purely a temporary move by him, solved the embarrassment at this time.

At least he saved a lot of borrowed tongues; If he encounters a miserly and difficult to communicate with a country person, who refuses to accommodate him alive or dead, where should he run in a panic?

Xie Xiang suddenly understood, whether he wanted to admit it or not, in the bottom of his heart, he still didn't want to be separated from Xia Xueyi so quickly.

Before following Ai Ye into the house, he couldn't help but look back, but saw that not far from the red willow, there was no longer Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao.

……

"My grandfather and I came back after buying medicinal herbs, but the big reed flower was gone, and my grandfather said that the big reed flower must be very hungry, and flew to the hill and was taken away by the civet cat, and he just followed the chicken feathers to catch the civet cat...... The skin of a tanuki can be sold for silver for a large reed flower in winter. ”

Without waiting for Xie Xiang to ask again, Ai Ye was like reuniting with an old friend for many years, and chattered to Xie Xiang.

Xie Xiang, who was still a little distracted behind him, heard it as if he had been struck by lightning.

At first, he didn't understand what the big reed flower in Ai Ye's mouth was?

He didn't know what kind of animal the tanuki was, but the feathers ...... He definitely understood that Xia Xueyi went out to forage for food and returned like lightning, and the big hen in his arms was ......

In an instant, Xie Xiang really wanted to cover his face again and rush out of the door!

Damn Xia Xueyi, you have such a strong martial arts, you said you can't get some birds and beasts? Do you want to catch hens raised by ordinary people on the outskirts of the city?

There is no lower limit to this kind of discipline...... Xia Xueyi, you can do it, you can do it?

I don't know that in some years, a hen is simply equivalent to the belongings of a poor family?

Xie Xiang whimpered a little in his heart, thinking that Xie Gongzi, who had always been conceited and merciful, unknowingly joined forces to steal chickens and touch dogs?

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, follow the good people to be good people, and follow the witch to dance the great god. When he Xie Xiang met Xia Xueyi, was he destined to become a bandit?

The most painful thing is that Xia Xueyi must not know that because he was very "handy" and caught the hens of a poor family, but it ended up affecting the tanuki brothers who lived on the hills.

Ai Ye's grandfather didn't even ask about grabbing the tanuki and skinning it, and then it was fast!

What does this say? Xie Xiang felt that he was about to lose his temper.

Looking at Ai Ye's pure and trusting eyes, Xie Xiang only felt that he should cut his hair and ask for guilt: it was his fault, Xia Xueyi caught their hen because he wanted to keep him from eating......

"Childe, please sit down and rest, see that you are tired, your face is red...... You wait, I'll pour you some water. ”

Ai Ye moved a small dilapidated wooden stool, looked at Xie Xiang sincerely, and looked at Xie Xiang, who had a somewhat abnormal face because of guilt and shame, and said very sincerely.

"Hmm...... Thank you, little Aiye, what about the rest of your family except your grandfather? ”

Thank you for quickly covering himself up, although he knew that the hen of Ai Ye's family must be the one in his belly, and felt that this kind of behavior was shameless, but he still had some unknown luck in his heart.

Perhaps, Ai Ye's grandfather will soon return with the big reed flower that belongs to them and return with a smile?

In order to have such an unexpected happy scene, he also quickly prayed a little in his heart.

In any case, even if you steal food and steal something you don't know, it's easier for people to endure a little bit of psychological guilt than stealing something that you have to face to face.

"Childe, our family is just me and grandpa...... Others, I don't know, but ......."

Ai Ye, who was about to go to the kitchen house, stood up again, and said to Xie Xiang very mysteriously, "My grandfather said that if we keep living here, one day, my father and mother will come to me, it's really ......."

After Ai Ye finished speaking, as if he wanted to comfort Xie Xiang, he winked at Xie Xiang's bright eyes, and smiled innocently and unburdenedly.

Indeed, there is nothing that makes a child happier than saying to the person he loves the best beliefs that have always been buried in his heart.

Xie Xiang was already a little stunned when he heard it.

Suddenly, I secretly laughed at myself in my heart, could it be that I was still fantasizing that there would be a peach blossom girl hidden in these broken grass sheds?

Although it is customary to describe old novels or martial arts novels like this, today, Xie Xiang feels that it is really difficult to fictionalize.
