Su Wanqing and the others turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that in that place, a boy in some tattered clothes and a little dirty face was staring at them with big round eyes, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but there was no timidity or fear of those people.

Su Wanqing looked at him wearing ragged, obviously out-of-size shoes and exposed toes, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

She asked softly, "Who are you?" ”

The boy blinked and was silent for a moment, not seeming to speak.

But it was the first time he saw such a beautiful big sister, although Su Wanqing was veiled, the white veil would not completely block Su Wanqing's appearance, and some could still be seen faintly. Moreover, this hazy feeling adds a bit of mystery to Su Wanqing's appearance, making people want to explore what her face looks like under the veil.

Even so, for the little boy, Su Wanqing is already the best-looking sister in the world.

He timidly glanced at the black-clothed man next to him who looked a little imposing, and then said obediently: "I don't have a name, and I don't have parents, I have stayed in Piaomei Village since I was a child, and I grew up by picking up leftovers. ”

The little boy seemed to think of something, then scratched his little head, and continued: "But in the past, when Piaomei Village was still lively, people often sent me to pick plum blossoms, and then come back to make wine and other food, and at that time I could still earn a bite to eat. Now that there are fewer and fewer people, I can only pick up garbage occasionally. ”

The little boy looked at Su Wanqing innocently, as if he didn't feel how pitiful he was when he said these words, and even a little indifferent. It was as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of life, and he didn't feel anything.

Su Wanqing looked at the little boy who was only up to her waist, and asked with some reluctance, "How old are you this year?" ”

The little boy thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe ninety years old, I never counted." ”

"Were you born here? Have you ever looked for your parents? ”

Su Wanqing didn't know why, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions, maybe the maturity revealed by this little boy that did not match her age made her feel a little distressed.

The little boy shook his head again and said seriously: "They have never looked for me, which means that they don't want me, and in this case, even if I find it, it will not make any sense." Since I was abandoned the moment I was born, we will have nothing to do with each other in the days to come. I can live even without my parents. The little boy clenched his little fists as he finished speaking.

Su Wanqing couldn't help but stretch out her hand and gently rubbed the little boy's dirty little head.

This action made the little boy stunned, he raised his head stupidly and looked at Su Wanqing, and said in a humble manner: "Big sister, don't touch me, my hair is very dirty." ”

Su Wanqing rubbed him again, and regardless of the dirty black stain of her palms, she said softly, "It's okay." ”

Then she looked at the man in black and ordered, "Shadow, bring some food." ”

The man in black immediately understood what Su Wanqing meant, he nodded, dodged and left the place, and then quickly brought back a cloth bag.

He walked up to the little boy, who gave him a wary look, but was quickly attracted by the aroma coming from the cloth bag.

The man in black didn't mind the little boy's attitude, he gently spread out the cloth bag, and there were several delicate snacks in it, all of which were made by the imperial chef in the palace, and ordinary people couldn't eat them.

The little boy looked at the delicately made snacks and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The man in black handed it to him, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes.

"Eat." Su Wanqing said.

The little boy looked at the snacks with a flash of longing in his eyes.

But he looked at the dim sum for a long time, then raised his head, shook his head at Su Wanqing and said, "Big sister, I can't eat it." ”

There was a hint of surprise in Su Wanqing's eyes, and then she said, "It's okay, my sister won't accept your money." And she knew that the little boy had no money at all, and that he did not even have a decent garment.

The little boy shook his head again and spat out adult-like words: "Big sister, I didn't do anything for you, so I can't just eat what you give." I'm dirty, but I'm not a beggar. ”

Su Wanqing looked at the little boy's expression and knew that he was really unwilling to accept his help casually.

Her heart was hot, and she was just about to say something, but another child ran out of nowhere next to her, he looked at those snacks longingly, and then said to Su Wanqing: "Big sister, don't believe what this little beggar said, he is just a thief!" ”

When the little boy saw the chubby boy, he shouted angrily: "Da Zhuang, I am not a beggar, let alone a thief!" ”

The boy called "Da Zhuang" glanced at him with disdain, and then said sarcastically: "You are not a beggar, what are you not a beggar when you are covered in dirt?" You don't have any money, you're not a thief, how can you survive? ”

The little boy trembled with anger and said, "I picked up food that others didn't want to eat, and I didn't steal!" The word thief obviously irritated the little boy, and he really did not give in to this kind of thing about his reputation.

Da Zhuang sneered: "That leftovers are also someone else's, you picked them up without the consent of others, and you still steal them!" ”

"They've thrown it away!"

"You're a thief!"

"You-"

The little boy flattened his mouth and glanced at Su Wanqing with some concern, as if he was afraid that she would treat him as a thief, and tears rolled in his eyes, but he stubbornly didn't let it flow.

On weekdays, it doesn't matter what those children say about him, but today in front of this beautiful big sister, the little boy just doesn't want to be smeared like this, because he is not such a person at all!

But will the big sister believe it? Could she be as disgusted with herself as the people in the village? Just because he looks like a little beggar. However, he was really not a beggar, he just had no clothes to wear.

Su Wanqing glanced at the so-called Da Zhuang coldly, and then said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Da Zhuang glanced at the cold beauty, he carefully glanced at the snack in the hand of the man in black, but said in his mouth: "I just can't bear to let the big sister be deceived and give such a good thing to this little beggar to eat, it's really a waste of food." ”

Da Zhuang's subtext was almost all spoken, and he almost salivated and said, "Give me this food."

Su Wanqing sneered and said, "What are you?" ”

Da Zhuang's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect this gentle beauty to say such a thing to himself.

"Y-What do you mean by that?"

Su Wanqing clasped her hands and said lightly: "I said, I like to give these foods to whomever I want, why are you talking nonsense next to you?" ”

Da Zhuang was stunned, and then he seemed to be trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with Su Wanqing, after all, there were still a few menacing black-clothed people standing next to him, and he couldn't afford to offend him for the time being.

Then he glared at the little boy who was stunned in place, and roared at him: "Okay, you little beggar, you must have fed the big sister some kind of ecstasy, don't forget!" My father is the village chief, and you will be good-looking when the time comes! Thief! Little sloppy! ”

After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The little boy stared blankly at his back, feeling a little depressed. It's over, he provoked Da Zhuang again, knowing that he was weak, and his village chief father was so protective. Now it's okay, maybe he will be driven out of Piaomei Village forever, and when the time comes, he doesn't know where he can go.

Su Wanqing looked at the little boy with her head down, she didn't expect that this Raush was strong and still a landowner. But she didn't care about any of this.

She looked at the little boy gently and said, "Are you often bullied by them?" ”

The little boy hung his head, nodded slightly, and said a little sullenly: "Because I have no parents, and they think that I am a little beggar, and no one will protect me, so they all bully me." ”

Su Wanqing looked at him, as if she was thinking about something, she glanced at Pei Xiu, with a different meaning in her eyes.

But Pei Xiu seemed to understand, he nodded slightly at Su Wanqing, and he didn't say anything.

The man in black next to him looked at the six princes and the six princesses with some confusion, not knowing what dumb riddles they were playing.

Su Wanqing spoke: "Do you want a family?" ”

The little boy didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking seriously, and after a while he nodded, and said in a low voice: "Sometimes I envy them, because they have parents who can love them, and they can play with them and cook for them." I had to go outside to pick up what they threw me to eat, and sometimes I would be chased by the dogs in the village, and I would go hungry when I had nothing to eat. It would be nice if one day I didn't have to worry about running out of food......"

Su Wanqing listened to the little boy's words, and only felt more and more sad in her heart. Although she is not a good person, she also knows that there may be many people in this world who sleep on all three meals like the little boy. But somehow, the little boy moved her.

What the reason is, Su Wanqing can't say.

Maybe it's because of his clean eyes when they first met, or maybe it's because he's desperately trying to maintain his pitiful self-esteem.

"Do you want me to be your sister?" Su Wanqing asked abruptly.

The little boy raised his head suddenly and looked at Su Wanqing in disbelief, as if he thought she was joking.

Su Wanqing continued: "Come back with me, I can provide you with the best place and food, but correspondingly, you need to accept the experience I give you until you really become a man who stands up to the sky." ”

This is like pie in the sky for the little boy, after hearing the second half of Su Wanqing's words, he looked at Su Wanqing. There was only a calm in her eyes.

So the little boy understood that she was not sympathizing with herself, let alone pitying herself, she was communicating with herself as an equal.

"I promise you."

After a while, the little boy spoke firmly.
