Chapter 0031: Xiao Wunuo
The sun was in the west, and Wu Bai changed many buckets of water and wiped each tombstone. www.biquge.info Unconsciously, I wiped the tombstone of more than 30 years that had just been erected in the early morning.
The tombstones were clean, and Wu Bai washed his hands, put the bucket and rag aside, walked over to each tombstone, and gently stroked the names engraved on them.
At the twenty-ninth block, Wu Bai was just about to touch the name on it, but found a little girl curled up next to the tombstone.
The little girl curled up there, looking as if she was asleep. On the pink little face, there are undried tears.
"Whew......!"
Wu Bai exhaled a long breath. War always tears many families apart.
Carefully pick up the little girl. I feel that this little girl is not as heavy as drawing her own halberd. Maybe five or six years old at most!
When passing by the ancestral hall, the tomb keeper saw Wu Bai coming out of the valley with the little girl in his arms.
said: "This kid has come seven or eight times before, and I have persuaded him to go back. Why did you sneak in again! ”
The tomb keeper is Wulong's third uncle, who shares the same ancestor as Wubai. Now among Wu Bai's close relatives, only this old man is under him. The old man is over the age of six, and he has been staying here since his son died in the battle with Wulong.
At that time, the ancestral hall had not yet been built in the Valley of Weeping Blood, and the old man lived in a simple hut. The chief manager Wen Zhong persuaded him many times to go home for the elderly. But the old man just wouldn't leave.
When the ancestral hall was newly built in the Valley of Weeping Blood, Wen Zhong deliberately asked people to build a comfortable residence.
Every time he returned to Canglong City, Wu Bai would take the time to personally bring some edible products to the old man.
"Third grandfather, let the young man guard it! You go home, and I'll take care of you. ”
The grave keeper smiled slightly, but did not answer. In the same way, every time Wu Bai sent food to eat, he would say it again.
Another wordless refusal, Wu Bai sighed. said: "Then you always pay attention to your body, and add more clothes when the wind is strong!" If there is any need, he will order the patrolling Canglong Guard. ”
Then, Wu Bai left with the little girl in his arms. The tomb keeper stood in front of the ancestral hall, looked at Wu Bai in the distance, and said to himself in that old voice:
"This vein, I thought it would be revived in the hands of Xingguo. Now it seems that everything is on this kid! ”
The words of the grave keeper drifted in the wind and were not heard by anyone.
Wu Bai carried the little girl back to his residence and summoned Han Shuang, the civil governor. After some inquiry, I found out that this little girl had the same surname as herself, and her name was Wu Nuo. Since childhood, he has been dependent on his father.
In Canglong City, the salary of the soldiers was more than ten times higher than that of ordinary laborers. In order to give his daughter better living conditions, Wunuo's father fostered her in his sister's house and threw her into the army to work hard.
Regarding this situation, Wu Bai asked how to deal with Han Shuang. Han Shuang said: "In this case, we will negotiate with her father's relatives and friends before his death to choose a family to adopt her. Canglong City will subsidize the family that adopted her every month. ”
Wu Bai thought about it for a while, Xiao Wunuo went to the Weeping Blood Valley seven or eight times today. I didn't hear the third grandfather say that someone went to look for her.
asked Han Shuang: "Have you investigated her living environment?" ”
Han Shuang replied: "I have checked, Aunt Wu Nuo has two sons in the family, both of whom are studying in the academy. My aunt worked in a paper mill, and my uncle worked in Tiangongyuan. ”
Hearing this, Wu Bai understood the reason, no one in this family could take care of Xiao Wunuo. Realized that the placement problem of Canglong City was somewhat imperfect.
told Xiao Wunuo about what happened in the Weeping Blood Valley, and then said to Han Shuang: "The placement method of the children of the fallen soldiers is a little improper. Check all the adoptive families again. The children of the fallen soldiers who have not taken good care of them will be resettled. We can't do it perfectly, but we must settle it properly! ”
Han Shuang realized the problem and felt a little blamed in her heart. The deceased are the greatest, and if even their children are not well settled, then she, the civil administrator, is too useless.
Immediately got up and was about to start this matter, Wu Bai called out to her: "Not at this time and a half!" It's getting late, you go and discuss with Aunt Xiao Wunuo's house first, I plan to let Xiao Wunuo stay with me. Tomorrow as soon as possible, I will go to investigate the resettlement problem. ”
Han Shuang was very surprised, how could Wu Bai have this idea. However, he didn't ask too much, and after answering, he got up and said goodbye.
After communicating with Han Shuang, Wu Bai walked towards the house. As soon as I entered the house, I found that Xiao Wunuo had woken up. At this time, she hugged the quilt and looked timidly into the room.
When he heard someone coming in, he immediately subconsciously shrank into the bed, like a frightened rabbit. People can't help but feel pity.
Wu Bai walked to the bed and bent down, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Wunuo, do you know me?" ”
Xiao Wunuo in the quilt poked his head out, glanced at Wu Bai with sparkling eyes, and blinked. After a while, he said in a milky voice: "Recognize ...... Acquaintance, you are the brother of the city lord! ”
There was a childish air in that voice. Wu Bai was relieved when he heard Wu Nuo's answer! It's good to be able to talk to yourself. Children usually don't talk to someone they don't like when they meet them.
For Xiao Wunuo, Wu Bai was sorry in his heart, after all, his father died in the battle with him. But a lot of it is the love for her.
Don't look at Wu Bai is not yet fifteen years old now, the earth soul is a typical uncle. Lori is a cute thing,There is a natural temptation for him.。
When he was on Earth, Wu Bai always wished that he had a sister. Now the appearance of Xiao Wunuo has made Wu Bai's hidden idea out of control.
After Xiao Wunuo finished speaking, he did not retract into the quilt again. It's just a little head, and the eyes are blinking. Looking at Wu Bai with some confusion.
It's so cute. Wu Bai continued: "Then does Xiao Wunuo like his brother? ”
Xiao Wunuo nodded without hesitation, and his little head was like a chicken pecking rice.
said crisply: "I like it, they all say that the city lord's brother is a big hero, and Xiao Nuo'er likes a big hero!" ……”
At the end of speaking, Xiao Wunuo's mouth suddenly deflated. Tears flowed down like broken beads. Choked up: "My father is also a big hero...... But he ...... He hid in the ground,...... Ignore me! ”
Wu Bai, who had never coaxed a child, saw Xiao Wunuo crying, and he was immediately in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Wen Zhong walked in, and Wu Bai immediately said, "Wen Bo, look, Xiao Wunuo is crying!" What to do? What to do? ”
Wen Zhong looked at Wu Bai's anxious appearance and felt a little funny, this is a young man. The usual Wu Bai is too calm, and he doesn't have the appearance of a teenager. It's almost making everyone ignore his age.
He said to Wu Bai, "Leave it to me!" I remember when you cried when you were a child, you were much better than this girl! ”
Wu Bai suddenly looked embarrassed!
