Xi Le'an embraced the little girl with open arms, and let the little girl cry bitterly in her arms.

"Brother, it's great that you're not dead." The little girl said while crying.

Xi Le'an was surprised: "How can you think I'm dead?" ”

The uncle and aunt of the Xi family sold Xi Le'an to the eunuchs who purchased the population, which was extremely bad in the eyes of the villagers. Xi Le'an is a man, and he can inherit the bloodline of the Xi family, if the rest of the Xi family knows that the uncle and aunt of the Xi family have made Xi Le'an a eunuch, they will definitely not let them go. Therefore, the two of them did not say to the outside world that they would sell people into the palace to be eunuchs, but that they were sold to large families to be small servants, and they were to enjoy happiness. The people in the village and the clan didn't say much because of this, although they knew that there was moisture in the words of the two, they didn't think that Xi Le'an was killed. Then how could the little girl think that Xi Le'an was dead?

The little girl cried: "I overheard the conversation between the uncle and the aunt, and knew that they sold you to a place where a man eats people, and the uncle sighed hypocritically and said that he was sorry for his father." I thought you would be killed in such a dangerous place. ”

"That's why you want to kill the uncle's family to avenge me?" Xi Le'an finally understood where the little girl's deep hatred came from. The only brother who depended on each other was killed by the uncle and aunt of the Xi family for a little money, and he used his brother's money to sell his body to eat and drink spicy food but also abused the little girl, how could the little girl not be resentful? Over time, this hatred grows deeper and deeper, like a volcano hidden under an iceberg, which will one day erupt.

Xi Le'an touched the little girl's head lovingly, and said softly: "My brother is not dead, my brother is back to pick you up." Brother took you out of here, and we won't see this family again. ”

"Hmm." The little girl nodded vigorously, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

If you want to die with the uncle of the Xi family, in addition to avenging your brother, because you can't see the hope of life, it is better to drag the enemy into hell together. Now that my brother is not dead, he has come back to take him away, there is hope in life, and the little girl does not want to die with the enemy.

The little girl cried for a long time before she stopped crying, and got up from Xi Le'an's arms with a sob, her cheeks flushed from crying.

Xi Le'an took one of her hands and said, "Let's go, let's leave." ”

"Hmm." The little girl nodded vigorously, ignoring the wooden basin and clothes scattered on the riverbank, and strode away with Xi Le'an.

The two men did not enter the village, and made a detour without anyone else seeing.

Back at the inn in the city, Qu Jingfu and Gou Qingli saw the little girl and greeted the little girl very friendly. After hearing her brother say that these two were good friends of her brother, the little girl also politely returned the salute. The little girl learned reading and etiquette with her parents before she was six years old, although she was treated like a slave by Uncle Xi's family over the years, etiquette has not been forgotten.

Qu Jingfu and Gou Qingli regarded the little girl as their sister and took great care of her, they left space for the two brothers and sisters to talk, one went to give the little girl food, and the other saw that the clothes on the little girl's body were really shabby, so they went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy new clothes for the little girl.

When they were by the river, the little girl kept crying and talked very little to Xi Le'an, and at this time, the two siblings had time to have a deeper conversation and tell what had happened to them over the years.

Xi Le'an did not hide his identity, and told the little girl that he was forced by the eldest aunt to sell himself into the palace. Only then did the little girl know that the "place of eating people" in the mouth of the uncle and the aunt was the palace, and her eyes were red again. Although her brother did not die, her body was crippled and she lost her dignity as a man, and the little girl was distressed, guilty and resentful. I feel sorry for my brother's sin, and I feel sorry for him that his life has been ruined like this; The guilt is all to protect himself, and the elder brother will enter the palace as a eunuch; resented the persecution of the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle, why didn't they sell their children, why did they sell their brother and him. They have lived comfortably on their brother's selling money over the years, but they don't feel guilty at all.

Xi Le'an looked at the little girl's emotions and was a little wrong again, and hurriedly comforted the little girl: "Little sister, although the uncle and the aunt are at fault, but the mistake will not lead to death, don't think about their lives anymore." They do something wrong, they have their own harvest, don't dirty your own hands, and don't dirty your own heart. My brother hopes that my sister will always be innocent and beautiful, and that she is a good and kind child. ”

A trace of unwillingness appeared on the little girl's face, but in the end she nodded obediently and said, "Brother, I listen to you." ”

Xi Le'an touched the little girl's head and smiled: "Good! ”

Thinking in his heart, the little girl used such a fierce method to deal with Uncle Xi's family, is there any reason he doesn't know?

Silean decided to settle the little girl and then return to the village to investigate the cause.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Xi Le'an smiled and said to the little girl, "Your brother Qu and Brother Gou are back." ”

After speaking, he got up and opened the door, and saw Qu Jingfu holding a large tray in his hand, in which were placed several dishes, a plate of silver silk rolls, a clay pot of porridge, and four empty bowls and four pairs of chopsticks. Gou Qingli followed behind Qu Jingfu, holding a cloth bag in his hand.

Qu Jingfu said with a smile: "Sister Lexian is hungry, hurry up and eat." ”

He put the tray on the table, scooped out a bowl of porridge and handed it to Xi Lexian: "This is meat porridge, and there is minced meat in it." You don't seem to have eaten enough for a long time, if all of a sudden big fish and meat are not good for your health, I will let the kitchen make a few refreshing side dishes and meat porridge, you eat for the time being, and when your spleen and stomach are well, my brother invites you to eat braised pork and chrysanthemum fish. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qu." Xi Lexian said gratefully. These vegetables and meat porridge were supreme delicacy to her, and she drank a mouthful of meat porridge, and the good feeling immediately swallowed her, and she ate the porridge in a big gulp, without even bothering to pick up the vegetables.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you. If you don't have enough things, you can call it again. Xi Le'an put a chopstick dish into Xi Lexian's bowl, and said softly, "Eat some vegetables, and then eat a silver silk roll." ”

Xi Lexian only glanced back at Xi Le'an, and lowered her head to eat again, but this time she didn't forget to pick up vegetables and silver silk rolls.

Qu Jingfu couldn't help but think of his younger brothers and sisters at home when he looked at her like this, I don't know how they are now, do they want to be like Xi Lexian who can't even eat enough?

Qu Jingfu couldn't help but start worrying, and the desire to return to his hometown immediately rose in his heart.
