By the middle of the night, all the children couldn't hold it anymore and had already slept. Huo Yun covered them with a quilt, and asked Uncle Nie to lie down quickly, and after everyone had fallen asleep, he took Xue Rou and them out of the house. Gently close the door.

Xue Rou was a little worried, "Can this door be locked?" ”

Huo Yun smiled, "It can be locked, but it is very easy for people with martial arts to break it." But it doesn't matter, the house is full of old people and children, it is impossible to make enemies with anyone, this house is poor, robbers come and have nothing to rob and steal, there is no need. If someone really comes to seek revenge, unless they are crazy, they will not hurt the elderly and children. ”

Xue Rou nodded, and didn't ask why she didn't take the old man and the child out of such a topic, in her opinion, it was good enough to be able to take the initiative to help these old people and children, and it was very kind. Moral kidnapping would be unnecessary. Huo Yun was already trying to help them.

But Huo Yun seemed to see what she was thinking, and took the initiative to say, "I told Uncle Nie to let him move out, if it doesn't work elsewhere, at least he can go to my cabin, but he doesn't want to, for fear of dragging me down." I can't help it, the old man's temper came up, in fact, he was very stubborn, I had to send them some food and clothing, and there was nothing else to do. ”

Xue Rou sighed, "I know, Brother Huo, I know it's not easy for you." It's just that I still want to ask, how can there be so many children? Are they all from Uncle Nee's family? Not really. I don't think these kids look alike. ”

Huo Yun said, "Miss Xue, you guessed right, these children were all adopted by Uncle Nie, and they were not born and raised by the same parents, so they naturally don't look like each other." Uncle Nie's family is kind-hearted and used to like to adopt children, which is why they are so poor. There used to be a house, but one day there was a thunderstorm, and the thunder was very big, and the house was set on fire, and Uncle Nie escaped with the children, so he built such a thatched house. In fact, for an old man like him, it is already very good to be able to build such a shelter. ”

Xue Rou also felt embarrassed when she heard this past, "How could such a good person as Uncle Nie encounter such misfortune." It's really embarrassing to hear. ”

Huo Yun said, "Uncle Nie lost his son in his early years, lost his wife in middle age, and then the house was gone, but his pure heart has never changed, which is indeed worthy of admiration." However, Uncle Nie is optimistic and strong by nature, and never takes these things to heart. A person's physical condition is related to his mood, perhaps it is precisely because Uncle Nie is always optimistic that his body will be so good. I've checked him many times and he's always been in good shape. ”

Xue Rou smiled, "Also, a good person like Uncle Nie should live a long life, and he is blessed." ”

Yuan Junfeng said, "Brother Huo, I heard Uncle Nie say that you had a relationship with Uncle Nie for a period of time when you were young, and you met again later. What's going on? ”

Huo Yun seemed a little surprised, "Uncle Nie still told you this?" ”

Yuan Junfeng nodded, "When we went out for a walk, Uncle Nie told me. Can you tell us about it? ”

Huo Yun sighed, "Since Uncle Nie has told you, what else can I not say here?" ”

It turned out that when Huo Yun was young, he was lost with his parents, and at that time, the little Huo Yun was wandering on the streets, and when Uncle Nie saw it, he picked it up and took care of it. At that time, Uncle Nie's wife was still alive, believed in Buddhism, had a good heart, and treated Huo Yun very well.

Xue Rou was also a little embarrassed when she heard his past, "So you met Uncle Nie again later and secretly funded him?" ”

Huo Yun said, "I was later taken back by my parents, and when I grew up, I met Uncle Nie again, but I didn't expect my aunt to leave like this, Uncle Nie looks a lot older, but the spirit is still the same." I feel distressed that Uncle Nie has taken in so many orphans, but he is destitute and feels very uncomfortable. ”

Xue Rou sighed, "Uncle Nie is indeed a good person, although I haven't met his wife, I can imagine how kind and kind the couple were when they were young, they must be a pair of people who are praised." ”

Huo Yun nodded, "Yes, if Uncle Nie's son is still alive, he may already have a full house of children and grandchildren." ”

Yuan Junfeng said, "Brother Huo, how did you get lost with your family at that time?" Did they find you after a long time? ”

Huo Yun said, "I was still young at the time, and I didn't know what happened, but at that time, my family moved, and a group of people made a commotion, and I got lost on the road and was not found by adults." I almost didn't get caught by the traffickers and sold, but I managed to sneak away while they were asleep, and I was scared and walked along the road, and I didn't know where I went. At that time, I knew what horror was, afraid of all the stray dogs on the road, and afraid of those fierce old beggars. Speaking of which, I was a little beggar at that time, but fortunately I met my eldest mother. The eldest lady had a good heart, but she was already very sick at that time, but she still took me in. I'm thankful for them, there are a few kids like me, and everyone is noisy together. But it didn't take long for two children to run away. probably thinks that the eldest lady has disciplined them too much. ”

"Why run away?" Xue Rou was very strange, "Isn't it nice to have someone to raise it?" Why wander on your own? ”

Huo Yun smiled, "Miss Xue, you haven't experienced such days, so you don't understand." That's not a question of whether there is anyone to raise them, some children have been abandoned by their parents and orphaned since they were young, and they have been stumbling to grow up with no one to raise them. If you want to eat, you can steal and rob it, and fight with others to grab the territory, although it is very hard, but it can be regarded as arbitrary and chic. Uncle Nie adopted us and asked us to read and write, and to quit all those messy habits. Maybe you will feel that someone is accompanied in a short time, but after a long time, there is always some itching to feel that you are being controlled, so you want to run out, and you will not think about anything else at all. It's like you didn't make a mistake in the first place, but you were put in prison, and it was only a matter of time before you escaped. Even I developed some bad habits because of hunger at that time, such as being domineering, protecting food, and if it was mine, I would protect it firmly, and sometimes I would beat people. It was also corrected under the discipline of Uncle Nee. ”

"Later, about half a year later, my family found me, at that time I had grown up a little bit, understood that I was separated from my family, in this short year to see the warmth and coldness of the world, and grew up very fast. In order to reduce the burden on the family, I will also help with some work during the day, such as going to the restaurant to serve a bowl, pour a swill, etc., and earn a few copper plates. It was also at this time that my family saw me and took me back. didn't have time to talk to Uncle Nie, the people in the family were in a hurry to go back, and they just threw some money into the house. ”

When Huo Yun said these words, his expression did not change, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and his tone was terrifyingly relaxed. It's just that occasionally I can catch a little warm light in his eyes, so that people know that he is not indifferent, and he is very grateful that someone took him in at that time. can also see his gratitude to Uncle Nie.

He was right, anyone who had experienced that kind of childhood felt that it was normal to be defensive and cautious. I was abducted and sold by human traffickers, and I stumbled and was picked up and adopted by Uncle Nie after half a year, and I am afraid that my heart is very traumatic. So he grew up so indifferent and unapproachable, perhaps in order not to be deceived again.

Xue Rou sighed, "Brother Huo, I didn't expect you to have such a past, it's really embarrassing." Luckily, your family got you back later. I heard Bai Yuan say, you saw it when you were a child, and it was also after your family found it, right? ”

Huo Yun hooked the corners of his lips, "Why did this stupid boy tell you everything, I did meet him when I was a child, and he was found by his family at that time, but I was still on guard in my heart." For my safety, they left me alone in a village, and I met Bai Yuan. He was very stupid at that time, obviously a boy, but he was pierced by the nurse with two balls on the head, like a doll in a New Year's painting, funny and innocent. It was also because of his stupidity that I was willing to get close to him, but then my father picked me up again, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to him, and I met him later. He ran away from home and was picked up by me. ”

Huo Yun's words were almost consistent with Bai Yuan's words, indicating that they were true, and Xue Rou believed the past they said. It's just that I feel a little guilty in my heart, and I feel very uncomfortable because of my doubts, as if I think of Huo Yun as a bad person. The two of them followed a person out in the middle of the night, as if they didn't trust it no matter what, and now they felt that they didn't know how to explain to Huo Yun why they suddenly appeared in the hut, and they felt very guilty.

In the end, Yuan Junfeng opened his mouth first, and Yuan Junfeng said, "Brother Huo, we didn't know that you still had such a past, and we didn't deliberately want to provoke your sadness, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Huo Yun looked up at the sky, the moonlight shone on his face, and his expression was calm, "It's nothing, it's all in the past." People always have to look forward, and there is no need to dwell on the past all the time. ”

Xue Rou also apologized, "Brother Huo, we just watched you go out at night and felt strange, so we thought about going out to have a look, and we were also afraid that you would have something, thinking if we could help, but we didn't expect you to go to the hut to see the old man and the child." Next time you want to go, call me and Brother Yuan, it just so happens that we will also go to help, save yourself at home, and you want to do good deeds. ”

Huo Yun shook his head, "I know, I'm an outsider, there must be a lot of inconvenience in living in the Leng family, it's normal for you not to believe me, it's all for the safety of Master Leng and the Leng family, I can understand it." As for the thatched hut, I have sent a batch tonight, so I don't need to send it for the time being. I go every day, and it is easy to cause dependence on the children, after all, I am not as great as Uncle Nee, and at my current level, it is impossible to adopt them, just send something. ”
