In fact, Ai Ye and his grandfather are a pair of helpless widows and widows.

As for whether Ai Ye's parents will "really" come to him, I believe that it is completely the old man who pointed out to his grandson to draw cakes to satisfy his hunger in his loneliness and helplessness.

Ai Ye is a child, of course, he will believe it, but Xie Xiang really can't believe it.

Moreover, whether he wanted to accept it or not, Ai Ye and his grandfather seemed to be just ordinary people, as if they didn't have the high-flying kung fu of Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao at all.

He also somewhat understood why it was difficult for this household to make good use of the good building materials in front of the house and behind the house, and the grandfather's old age and weakness, and the grandson's weak and childish teeth, could only be so good.

Thinking of the thrilling experience in the deserted garden just now, and thinking of the extremely terrifying snake, scorpion, toad and gecko that filled the garden, Xie Xiang suddenly felt even more painful.

Although Xia Xueyi told him that this would be a safe place, telling him to stay here and stop running around, and then, he would come to him, I don't know why, Xie Xiang felt that his words were completely irresponsible and unreliable.

Xie Xiang didn't know what Xia Xueyi was going to do in that deserted garden, and suddenly felt that this was not a safe distance at all.

These are the ones who sat in this broken grass shed, and when he looked around, he found that the high city wall in the north of Wuzhou City was not far in front of these broken grass sheds.

Do Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao really have full confidence in controlling those terrifying five poisons? You know, those things move fast, and who can guarantee that they won't run out of the city?

The distance between here and that deserted garden, not to mention the five poisons that are fast and fast, is a cat and dog, and it doesn't take a cup of tea to rush there.

It is also said that Tsuchiya is the favorite gathering place for these things, and it is only inhabited by an elderly grandfather and a weak child...... had no defense, and I don't know why Xie Xiang suddenly became a little worried.

"Ai Ye, you...... Afraid of snakes and scorpions? ”

Seeing Ai Ye come in with a specially cleaned shallow gray tile water cup, Xie Xiang suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

Ai Ye suddenly looked at Xie Xiang strangely, and the expression on his face became concerned: "Childe...... Have you encountered a poisonous insect? Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Xie Xiang hurriedly shook his head: "No ......"

A relieved smile appeared on Ai Ye's face: "That's good, son, please drink water, I specially washed the teacup...... My grandfather wasn't afraid of snakes and scorpions, you know? The green snake and the mountain scorpion are the most valuable, and Dr. Wang of Huairentang will pay a very high price every time, but it is not easy to get, and grandpa said that they are all spiritual guys. ”

Ai Ye held the water cup in his hand to Xie Xiang, and as he spoke, his eyebrows became fluttering, and Xie Xiang sighed secretly when he heard it.

Spiritual guys?

Those spiritual guys are actually gathered in piles and bunches of stupid heads and squirming non-stop?

How do you describe all kinds of poisons in that deserted garden for such a child who is trapped by firewood, rice, oil, and salt at such a young age? In his eyes, he must have felt that those fat and huge poisons that no longer knew how much silver they were worth?

Thinking of the silver, Xie Xiang couldn't help but touch it into his arms.

When his hand touched the few taels of silver in his arms, he suddenly remembered the night pearl hair needle given by Xia Xueyi on his head.

A few taels of silver is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for Ai Ye and his grandfather, a dilapidated family that has nothing to lose, if you really want to change Ai Ye's life, or you can only spend more.

Although this Night Pearl Hair Needle was obtained by Xia Xueyi from He Hongyao, since it had been given to him, he should have the power to dominate.

I don't know why, Xie Xiang had a strong strange idea of giving something to this child from the first time he saw Ai Ye, and now, he still has this strange strong thought.

So, he quickly drank the water that Ai Ye gave him, and then smiled at Ai Ye: "Ai Ye, I see that although the clothes on your body are old, they are very neat, why do you have fluffy hair, come, find a comb, I can help you put your hair together?" ”

Ai Ye's face suddenly turned red again, and he couldn't hide his flattery, this noble-like big brother in the book was willing to pull his hair for him? However, he was still very sensible and repeatedly excused himself.

"This ...... Childe, isn't this okay? I will be scolded by my grandfather, my son is a nobleman, my hair even my grandfather didn't have time to comb it for me, it was very dirty and messy, and when I grew up, I would put my head together. ”

Xie Xiang smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, your grandfather hasn't come back yet, I'm idle, so let's help you put your hair up, and you can cook something for me to eat in a while, thank me, okay?" ”

Ai Ye is a child after all, and he admires and rejoices in his heart for the beautiful Xie Xiang, if he is not really ashamed of himself, he really can't wait to rub it into Xie Xiang's arms and get close, thinking that when he and his grandfather entered the city in the morning, they bought some food to thank them, and immediately agreed happily.

Soon, Ai Ye found Xie Xiang a wooden comb with a broken tooth and a handle that looked like he should be a hundred years old, and the most unbearable thing for Xie Xiang was the dirt between the remaining teeth of the wooden comb......

Well, after the chaos of the war, the respected Xie Gongzi actually walked out of the broken grass house of Ai Ye's house very calmly, walked to the clear river, and went to clean the old dirt between the teeth of this wooden comb.

Fortunately, Grandpa Ai Ye built a small bluestone water wharf by the river in order to facilitate washing, and Xie Gongzi had to roll up his wide sleeves and make a red willow Yiyi, the slanting sun shining, and the pseudo-Shih Tzu washed by the water.

When he carefully combed Ai Ye's tangled hair, Xie Xiang felt a little depressed in his heart: he asked himself that he had never been a heroic man who fought for righteousness and squandered money, and now, why did he have to think about giving this night pearl hair needle on his head to this child who met in Pingshui?

The most important thing is that this hair needle was given to him by Xia Xueyi, he did this, what would Xia Xueyi think if he knew?

But who wants him to eat other people's chickens like he was in a daze?

Well, I have to say, that's really the best and biggest reason.

This can't be blamed for not cherishing this night pearl hair needle, stealing and eating the hen that the ancestors and grandchildren rely on for their livelihood, and he has to pay for a night pearl.

Xie Xiang summed it up with affection: he was not emotionally impulsive, in the final analysis, he always felt that Xia Xueyi begged He Hongyao for this night pearl, he was uncomfortable to wear, so it was better to simply give it to this child, maybe it could change the extremely poor days of him and his grandfather.

Well, a manly man, he will do what he says, since he thinks so, let's do it like this, so as to avoid regrets in the future.

Ai Ye, who was full of joy, didn't know how this noble eldest brother combed his hair, but felt that his fingers were so gentle, as if he had touched his fingers in countless dreams.

Ai Ye has never seen his father, this sad child has not known the world for a long time, as a child, there should be a father.

It wasn't until later, when Ai Ye, who grew up, followed his grandfather into the city, and heard those children who were led by his parents sweetly calling him father and mother, that he knew that in this world, as a person, there must be not only a grandfather, but also a father and a mother.

"Hey," Grandpa touched Ai Ye's little head pityingly, "Forgive Grandpa...... Let's stay outside of this Wuzhou city all the time, maybe one day your father and mother will come to you. ”

When Xie Xiang thought he was perfect, he had a small bun on Ai Ye's head, and when he pulled out the night pearl hair needle on his head and inserted it into Ai Ye, Ai Ye's little face was full of smiles.

In return, Xie Xiang's neat mugwort leaves were combed with his hair, and he quickly brought Xie Xiang a plate of steamed cassava.

Cassava is just Xie Xiang's own statement, in fact, Xie Xiang still can't see what kind of plant tuber this is?

"Childe, you can eat, is it delicious?"

Because of the mugwort leaves who combed their unkempt hair, under the glow of the bright night pearl above his head, his little face looked more delicate, and his eyes looked at Xie Xiang very clearly, but he was reluctant to reach out and take a piece first, which was distressing to be sensible.

"Okay, thank you Aiye, let's eat together, okay?"

Xie Xiang first picked up a tuber that looked larger and handed it to him.

Ai Ye's eyes had an obvious desire for food, but he hurriedly put his small hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "Childe, you eat first, grandpa said that when there are guests, you should let the guests eat first." ”

Then, Ai Ye ran out as fast as he could.

Xie Xiang's heart couldn't help but shrink, this kid is sensible...... It's going to overturn all the extreme selfishness he has had for many years.

He couldn't imagine how a child who was already a little hungry in the midst of food scarcity could control himself and first salute his guests.

Ask yourself, if he or Xia Xueyi were young, they probably wouldn't be able to achieve such a natural atmosphere.

Xie Xiang suddenly remembered that when he was young, he almost intentionally or unintentionally made a lot of brain-dead idiots, and just wanted others to treat him as a real child, but now he understands, in fact, he really thinks too much.

is like the current Ai Ye, although he is young, he is so sensible, but he has no sense of surprise and abruptness, only a sigh.

Xie Xiang put down the relatively large cassava tuber in his hand, picked the smallest one, put it in his mouth, and took a bite, which turned out to be just a very noodle type, with a very rough taste and no sweet feeling.

However, it is this kind of food, in Ai Ye's heart, that is very delicious......

So what about fine rice, white flour, chicken, duck, and fish?

Suddenly, he was willing that Xia Xueyi had caught someone else's chicken...... Anyway, now he has figured it out, in this era of material scarcity, casually catching a hen from someone else is no different from a robber.

Xie Xiang put down the tasteless food in his hand and chewed in his mouth, and looked at the towering city wall in the distance through the dilapidated door, wondering what kind of trouble the robber Comrade Xia Xueyi was making in that terrible deserted garden now?
