"Sister Li, where is your home? How long will it take? Since we have been on the road for more than ten days now, how far is it, can you give me an accurate answer? Gu Qingmo asked Zhan who was roasting chicken. For now they had been twelve days since they had returned from the Lost City, and had been on their way all the time, except for the evening and noon meals, when they would stop to rest. But they're all like arrows, so they don't feel tired.

"It's probably less than 10 days away. Because of this season, I don't think there will be any heavy rainstorms or heavy snowstorms. Zhan Xiaoyan turned the roast chicken over and replied.

"Sister Li, can you tell me your real name? Although I can always call you 'Sister Li', but I also need to know the real name, I believe that you are a girl, you should not use the word 'Xiao' to name it! Gu Qingmo sprinkled salt on the grilled fish and asked Zhan with a smile.

"My name is Li Xiaoyan. In fact, Brother Gu, I have been waiting for you to ask me my real name, because 'Li Xiao' was my name when I wore men's clothes, and my real name was not hidden when I changed back to women's clothes to face you, so I can only say that Brother Gu, you are too slow to react, hehe......" Zhan said with a smile, because girls can talk to men without shy away, and only before the age of ten. After the age of ten, many things need to be taken care of. Especially like her, who doesn't have her parents by her side, she should pay more attention.

"Really? Hehe, hehe......" Gu Qingmo said with a little embarrassment, and even forgot to turn over the fish, until the smell of roasted paste came, and then he quickly turned over.

"Xiao Yan, I see that you are very skilled in roasting chicken, do you often sleep in the wilderness? It stands to reason that at your age, shouldn't you live like this? Qianduo asked what both Yan Lingxun and Gu Qingmo wanted to know. Because it's not easy for them to ask this question, let her, as a woman, ask it.

"Yes! Because I opened a jewelry store, I often have to go out to make jewelry raw materials, such as jade, jadeite, and pearls, which basically need to go to distant places, so I can't go back and forth on the same day. And once I go, I can't find an inn to live in every time, because I don't go to the same place every time! Zhan smiled and said lightly, there is nothing bad to say, and she will never treat herself badly in terms of eating!

"Really? What about your parents? Even if you are the eldest sister in the family, you are still very young, if they are still there, you don't need to be young to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, are your parents already ......" Qianduo didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already obvious, and Zhan Xiaoyan also understood what she meant.

"Yes, my father and mother are no longer there, and they left one after another when I was six years old. And I have three younger siblings of the same age at home, because they are triplets, so they are only two years younger than me, which means that when my parents left, they were only four years old. They lost their father and mother at such a young age, and although I was just as sad, I also had to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, so that all four of us could have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Zhan said lightly with a smile, her voice seemed a little distant, and her eyes became a little misty, obviously because she remembered her parents and younger siblings. I didn't expect this ten-year-old girl to have lost her parents, no wonder she is more mature and intelligent than ordinary girls of the same age, I believe that if this is not the case, then the four of them will have a very difficult life, and the road to growth must be full of suffering.

"Really? Then I think your younger brothers and sisters must also be very sensible, and it's good to go back with you this time and see them! Think about it, three faces that might be exactly the same look together must be very interesting! When Qianduo was a little guilty about getting to the bottom of it, and everyone was silent, Gu Qingmo spoke with a smile. Because he thinks that what this girl needs is not the sympathy and pity of others, she has always been so strong to live, what she needs is encouragement and affirmation, so that anyone can see that she has been doing well with her younger siblings.

"Hehe, then I have their portraits here, you can take a look at them and see if they look the same!" Zhan Xiaoyan came back to his senses and said, here he also untied his burden, took out the painting scroll inside, handed it to Gu Qingmo, and asked him to open it. The two younger brothers look very similar, they are both like their fathers, but the younger sister is more like her and her mother, even if they are triplets, they will not look exactly the same.

"This is your brother and sister? Well, the boy is very handsome, and the girl is also very delicate, although the facial features of the three have not yet fully grown, but I believe that it will be good in the future. Sister Li, it seems that your father and mother must also be very handsome and beautiful people, right? That's why the facial features of the four of you siblings are so good, it's really good! Gu Qingmo opened the portrait, he and the other three looked at it seriously, and he said seriously.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter what we look like, our looks are all given by our parents, whether we look like or not, we are all father and daughter, father and son, mother and son, mother and daughter, and brothers and sisters who are related to us by blood. So, I am very grateful to my parents for giving me life, even though they left me too early, but it is not because of this that I have forgotten them, on the contrary, I have always remembered them very clearly, and I will never forget. Zhan said with a smile affirmatively. Because parents can only remember when they are children, this is the person who must be remembered!

"Yes! Okay, hurry up and put the painting away. Go back with you this time, and we can also see your younger siblings together and see how sensible they are. Gu Qingmo said as he finished the scroll and handed it to Zhan Xiaoyan.

"Yes, you can meet all three of them too. I'm glad that the four of us have always been together and have never been separated. I never thought they would be a burden to me, but I was very happy to watch them grow day by day, watching them read, read, go to school, play the flute, play the piano, it was really a great thing! I have always watched their growth, the four of us sisters and brothers are warm to each other, take care of each other, and will not feel lonely at all, which is really good! ”

Zhan smiled affirmatively, and her tone was full of cherishment and happiness, indicating that even though she was the eldest sister, it was a little hard to take on the burden of supporting the family, but she never complained and felt hard. Such a girl, because of the different life experiences, the responsibilities are also different, but she is really good!
