As dusk draws on, colorful clouds stack around the sun, creating a colorful sky. The city was shrouded in a golden light as thin as a cicada's wings, as solemn as if it wanted to turn someone into an immortal. There are more and more pedestrians, but few people look up at the beautiful sunset and the dazzling light.

The aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the back kitchen, causing hungry passers-by to speed up their journey home.

The two people who had finished cleaning walked in with happy smiles and sunset.

His eyes fell on the person who was taking a nap, and Ye Hanchuan immediately slowed down. He sat down beside Xiao Duxue lightly, and moved her hand that was about to slide under the table.

Xiao Duxue woke up immediately, half-open sleepy eyes, and was in a daze.

"Stayed up late reading again?" Ye Hanchuan pointed to the bloodshot in her eyes and said, "If I continue to boil like this, I should boil chicken soup and go to the hospital to see you again." ”

Xiao Duxue thumped her sore neck, picked up the flower, sniffed it, and put it down.

"Neck discomfort? I'll rub it for you. ”

"No, I'll just do it myself."

The owner of the fried sauce shop brought a large pot of fragrant chicken soup, two meat and two vegetables, a large enamel bowl of fried sauce and a small basin of hand-rolled noodles just out of the pot, and said with a smile: "I invite this meal, thank you Miss Twilight for saving a life." ”

Xiao Duxue stumbled: "This ...... How can this be...... I didn't ...... either Didn't help. ”

"Girl, don't shirk. My brothers are all my regular customers, and they usually take care of my business. Seeing that you are about to graduate, it will be difficult to see you again. It's always okay to treat you to a light meal if it's an acquaintance. ”

Xiao Duxue didn't know how to refuse the kindness of others, and only picked her nails stiffly.

Ye Hanchuan said with a smile: "The boss has said so, no matter how polite it is, it will be divided." We'll enjoy it. ”

"That's it, I'll get you some rice. The girl's face was not very good, so she drank more soup. ”

Xiao Duxue thanked her, extremely uncomfortable.

Jun Wushuang pointed to the chicken leg and asked, "How do you divide this thing?" ”

Attention shifts. Xiao Duxue felt a little more comfortable.

Jun Wushuang glanced at her and poured a glass of water to drink.

The meal was delicious, everyone ate very deliciously, only Xiao Duxue never moved her chopsticks.

Yao Mengya sandwiched a chicken wing to her: "Why don't you eat it?" Under the weather? ”

"I was thinking, I should have plucked some chicken feathers to make shuttlecock just now, so it was a thought."

"If you are too focused, it hurts." Ye Hanchuan mixed fried noodles and said, "There are some things that are destined to be powerless." ”

The fried noodles are Xiao Duxue's favorite, the golden fried sauce is paired with the green cabbage sum, and then the fragrant broth is poured on the noodles, and you are reluctant to stop chopsticks after taking a bite. Ye Hanchuan deliberately poured more meat sauce and soup, and the noodles looked unusually delicious.

Xiao Duxue took a bite of noodles and said leisurely, "I don't know how Xuefeng is now." ”

It happened that the boss came out with rice, and when he heard the words, he said, "Xuefeng? Did the girl say the child you rescued? O iniquity! Both parents are dead and helpless, and relatives are unkind and unjust. ”

Xiao Duxue put down her chopsticks: "Unkind and unjust? What is unkindness? ”

At the beginning, his relatives were vying to take him in, but they were just greedy for the money left by his parents, as well as a few acres of fertile land that was guaranteed by drought and flood. But when they lived together, they disliked him for being a fool who only ate and didn't work, and needed someone to take care of him. After a long time, isn't it annoying? didn't say anything about hunger and fullness, and often beat and scolded him. A few days ago, he was rummaging through a bucket of swill in front of my restaurant, and the guy saw him, and I cooked him a bowl of noodles. His clothes were dirty and torn, and there were many scars on his body, which was pitiful to look at. ”

Xiao Duxue's eyes lowered, hiding her emotions behind the row of thick and curly eyelashes: "Anyway, they are all from their own family, so no one will come out to take care of them?" ”

"Tube? Who cares? When you came, my relatives grabbed him and went to the police station again, and I heard that it was because of the uneven distribution of money and land. ”

Xiao Duxue ate the noodles one by one, eating extremely carefully. A bowl of noodles was bottomed out, and everyone was full of food and drink, and they had already put their chopsticks.

"Do you want to see Fu Xuefeng?" Ye Hanchuan filled a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Drink it and go again." I'll be with you. ”

Xiao Duxue obediently drank the soup, but still didn't move the chicken wings: "Then you go back first." ”

Yao Mengya said: "No, I will accompany you." ”

Fang Yumo said: "I will follow too." ”

Jun Wushuang said, "I'll go and eat." ”

But at the time of a meal, the stars had changed outside, and the sun and moon had changed. From time to time, there are people entering and leaving the entrance of the police station, and it is open 24 hours a day. Before entering the door, Ye Hanchuan instructed Xiao Duxue again and again, telling her not to meddle in her affairs and to think clearly before making a decision.

In a room with a wide open door, a group of middle-aged men and women are arguing with red faces and thick necks, and occasionally there are physical backs and goings, like black-eyed chickens grabbing food and protecting food. Fu Xuefeng huddled in the corner with his head in his arms, like a toy that was discarded, and like an autumn cicada in the bitter wind and rain, waiting for the verdict of fate.

When the police saw that someone was coming again, they got up and asked, "Something?" ”

Xiao Duxue didn't reply, and walked towards Fu Xuefeng. The closer she got, the more she blamed herself. He used to be so happy and carefree! She put her hand on Fu Xuefeng's hand and called softly: "Xuefeng......" Her hand was warm and soft, with a unique faint fragrance, which smoothed out the fear and trauma.

Fu Xuefeng raised his head, and a silly but bright smile appeared on his smudged face: "Twilight Snow!" ”

"Twilight? Xiao Duxue? Are you the Xiao Duxue who escaped death? The policeman's impatience changed to a smile, "Why are you here too?" ”

"I'm coming to see Snow Peak." Xiao Duxue took out a handkerchief to clean up the filth on Fu Xuefeng's face, "I haven't seen you for a while, and you don't pay attention to hygiene again." ”

When the relatives of the family saw that the usually stubborn and untamable wild horses were not only manipulated by others, but also smiled meekly and flatteringly, they all muttered: Can this fool still listen to people? What a hell!

Xiao Duxue ignored the eyes of others, touched Fu Xuefeng's wound and asked, "Naughty again?" ”

Fu Xuefeng pointed to a middle-aged man and said, "Hit me." ”

Xiao Duxue asked lightly: "What did he do wrong, you want to beat him?" ”

"How could I have beaten him! Obviously he fell on his own. ”

"Snow Peak never lies."

"You believe what a fool says!"

"Because I'm a fool too." Xiao Duxue said coldly, "Since you have the money from his parents, you should take care of him, regardless of whether he is a fool or not." ”

"You say it easily! Is it so easy to take care of him? You can do it, you can come! ”

"If you know it's not easy, why promise? Break your word and get fat, are you also a gentleman? ”

The middle-aged man knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't say that Xiao Duxue was wrong, so he reached out and pushed her.

Ye Hanchuan blocked his hand and said, "Uncle, bullying girls is not what a man should do. If you count by age, you are also an elder. It's not respectful to the old, but it's not very decent. However, if you want to move your muscles, I'm happy to accompany you. ”

The middle-aged man blushed: "Who told her to talk nonsense!" ”

"I'm talking gibberish? Joke! I think it's the uncle who is talking nonsense! If you can't take good care of him, then spit out everything you eat and take care of it with someone else. Don't occupy the pit and don't. ”

Jun Wushuang almost squirted: This girl is really in a hurry, and she actually burst into foul language!

"What have I eaten? I've been serving him these days, and I'm not allowed to charge some interest? Don't you just want to get a piece of the pie? Straight to the point, why are you still hiding? ”

"With such a high interest, you're not afraid of indigestion?" Xiao Duxue glanced at the speaker in disgust: "Xuefeng, uncles and aunts in this house, who do you want to follow?" ”

Fu Xuefeng waved his hand desperately.

Xiao Duxue said softly, "You have to choose one." Otherwise, who will take care of you in the future? ”

"I thought you could take him in, it's been a long time, and it's still up to us. If you want to eat more and occupy more, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. The middle-aged man began to sneer, "It is said that you risked death to save him, then save people to the end, and give him a pension!" If you do, then you're amazing, and I admire you. Otherwise, you, as an outsider, will take care of other people's household affairs. ”

The policeman shouted: "Hey, a big man is not ashamed to squeeze a little girl like this?" ”

The middle-aged man blinked his swollen and reddened eyes and argued in a low voice unwillingly.

The police said: "You don't like this, you don't like that, then tell me, who do you want to follow?" ”

Fu Xuefeng came to his senses, and his eyes lit up: "Twilight snow." ”

The policeman laughed: "Say stupid things again!" She's a child, how are you going to be raised? ”

"I can't, but my parents can. Since he wants to follow me, then our Xiao family will adopt him. ”

Ye Hanchuan panicked: "You're crazy!" You can't! ”

"Why not?"

"You...... You should at least discuss with your uncle and aunt first, don't get hot-headed! Ye Hanchuan knocked Xiao Duxue's head unceremoniously, "What did I tell you before?" Don't worry about what you shouldn't! Why can't you control yourself? ”

"I'll write to my parents to make it clear."

"Just did they agree? Is your family a landlord or a rich party? It's hard enough to provide for you, and you'll have to bring another one back. ”

Xiao Duxue's head was knocked painfully, and she dodged vigorously: "I know, I know!" You stop first, it hurts! ”

Fu Xuefeng frowned, stretched out his hand and pushed, pushing Ye Hanchuan back several steps before gaining a firm foothold.

Xiao Duxue hurriedly said, "Snow Peak! Hanchuan won't hurt me, you can't push him! ”

Fu Xuefeng withdrew his hand and played with his fingers like her.

The police coughed: "The young man is right, you can go back if it's okay." You can't take care of this kind of housework that can't be put on the table, so don't take care of it. ”

"I'm not just talking. Please help take care of him for a few days, and I will take him away when the college entrance examination is over. ”

Ye Hanchuan saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, so he had to give up.

Xiao Duxue said again: "I won't ask for your things, I just take Xue Feng away." But as long as you still remember some flesh and blood affection, you will burn some paper money for the dead during the New Year's holidays. The inheritance they left behind was enough to cover these expenses. ”

The people who fought for land, land and property all had the joy of sending off the plague god on their faces.

The police said: "Adding Ding Ding is the top priority in the family, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Of course! I would like to ask, if he wants to live with us for a long time, what procedures do he need to go through in our family? ”

"In his case, someone adopted Amitabha Buddha, where do you need procedures. As for his relatives, they all put it on the surface, and they all got the benefits, so what else is there to say? I guess they want to see each other again in this life. ”

"So much for the best. Please trust my parents, trust me, we will not treat him badly. ”

"People say that I will put a question mark, you say, I believe. You're a good girl, and God will treat you well. ”

"Thank you for your trust. Xuefeng, you stay here obediently, listen to your uncle, don't make noise, don't run around, wait for me to pick you up. ”

Fu Xuefeng nodded: "Obedient." ”

The policeman sighed: "I finally understand why he bows down to you alone!" ”

Jun Wushuang put a handful of change on the desk: "Officer, please buy a piece of clothing for him to change into, and the rest will be used as his living expenses." ”

Xiao Duxue muttered, "I'm confused! Forget about it. She emptied her purse and went to Ye Hanchuan's jacket pocket: "You rich man have to give more." ”

Ye Hanchuan didn't move, glaring angrily.

Xiao Duxue pretended not to see it: "You rummage through your pants pockets again to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”

Here, Yao Mengya and Fang Yumo have contributed all the money on their bodies.

Ye Hanchuan rolled his eyes: "If you have the ability, you can turn it over!" I didn't bother to do it. ”

"Don't pay? Really don't pay? Forget it, I don't want yours. I didn't expect you either. ”

Ye Hanchuan was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched: "Can't you say a soft word to me, be gentle?" ”

Xiao Duxue leaned over, and her sweet smile was filled with the smell of conspiracy: "Boss Ye, may I ask how much is the little girl's gentleness worth?" I'll sell it all to you. And, for the sake of how familiar we are, I can give you a nine-percent discount. No, eight-fold. Luckily? ”

"You know how to bully me. I don't have any money on me, so I'll send it back tomorrow. ”

"Don't break your promise!" Xiao Duxue was overjoyed, "This is a good deal." Everyone, from now on, this girl is going to change her career to sell gentleness. Those who have money have a money field, and those who don't have money have to borrow money! Thank you, thank you! ”

Jun Wushuang thought to himself: pack all your gentle ...... It's a good deal.

Xiao Duxue told Fu Xuefeng again, and then left the police station.

The town at night is lively and peaceful. A few young people chased and ran into the distance against the bright lights.
