Wang Hu didn't come back after they were taken away, and Zhuang Rou didn't want to know what happened to them, but they were led out of the shed by Zhuang Xuewen, and there were seven children behind them.

There were men and women, and they followed with blank eyes but didn't dare to speak, and the girl who was rescued by Zhuang Rou walked in front, and asked in a low voice and panic: "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Zhuang Rou looked up at Zhuang Xuewen and said, "Brother, they are the people who have been following me, all of them are parents who have died and have nowhere to go......"

"As long as you're happy, you can do anything, I'll take them all away, and my brother can afford it." Zhuang Xuewen looked at her gently, and directly agreed to accept these children.

The children were stunned for a moment, there was such a good thing, and they were surprised and afraid that he would regret it, so they hurriedly followed.

Zhuang Rou laughed, "Thank you, brother, they are very obedient, just let them do anything." ”

"Okay, let's go to the city to rest for a day, and we'll talk about it when we're full." Zhuang Xuewen looked at this group of children who were really dirty and thin, even Zhuang Rou was like this, it was best to wash and eat before setting off.

"Wow!" When the children heard that they were well fed, they immediately cheered, and this was the best thing for them.

Zhuang Xuewen's carriage was very clean, except for Zhuang Rou, the other children did not dare to go in, or Zhao Jun dared to sit down after killing them, but they didn't even dare to stretch their feet. One by one, they sat with their legs huddled, for fear of angering the young master and being driven away.

Seeing that they were all very hungry, Zhuang Xuewen took out all the snacks he brought and distributed them to eat. Seeing them carefully holding the candy and eating it very happily, he looked at Zhuang Rou and saw that she was just staring at the candy cube, but she didn't eat it.

Zhuang Xuewen asked puzzledly: "Sister, why don't you eat, what are you looking at?" ”

"I felt like I was in a dream, and I thought I would never see my brother again." Zhuang Rou smiled sweetly, distinguishing the two of them from the girl who was carrying a kitchen knife just now.

These words made Zhuang Xuewen silent, and it took him a long time before he asked: "Second uncle and second aunt, they ......"

Zhuang Rou looked up at him, slowly put the sugar cube into his mouth, and then smiled and said, "Brother, the sugar is very sweet." ”

"Did they really pass away?" Zhuang Xuewen raised his eyebrows, although he had already prepared in his heart, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Well, I'm leaving." Zhuang Rou chewed the candy and nodded, there was not much fluctuation in her eyes, as if she was talking about someone she didn't know very well.

This made Zhuang Xuewen's heart twitch in pain, how much suffering she had gone through to become so numb. In the past, she was not such a person, and when she was startled by a caterpillar, she would cry and go to her second uncle and second aunt, pointing at her brother and saying that her brother bullied her.

But now, she has long lost the innocence that a twelve-year-old girl should have.

Zhuang Xuewen hugged her sadly and said softly: "I won't let you be hurt a little more, and I will let you live happily forever." ”

"Well, I can't lose my brother anymore." Zhuang Rou leaned on his shoulder and smiled slightly.

The children who were eating candy were stunned for a moment, shivering all over their bodies, only to feel a chill in their backs, and the sugar was almost stuck in their throats.

The youngest of them is only four or five years old, and the eldest is only about ten years old, but because she is an orphan, she has been living with Zhuang Rou for a long time, and she knows her character well. Seeing her smile like this now, in addition to being scared, she is worried, the eldest sister won't kill this brother who looks rich, right? He's a good guy!

Zhuang Rou glanced at them, what a group of stupid people, what are you afraid of!

This is his brother, the only dearest and precious relative left.

The children waited for a long time until they entered the city, and when they arrived at the inn, they didn't see Zhuang Rou doing anything, so they finally put their minds at ease.

When he was at the door, he also let Xiao Er block it, and was smashed by Zhuang Xuewen with a few pieces of silver, so he nodded and let go, ran errands and bought a few sets of children's clothes, and boiled hot water to call the rough mother-in-law, and washed the children well and washed off the old mud all over their bodies.

"Don't worry, everyone eat slowly, there are plenty of meals!" Zhao Jun took the seven children to eat in the hall downstairs, and watched them gobble up, so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded them.

And Zhuang Rou washed and changed her clothes, and sat in the guest room to eat with Zhuang Xuewen, basically she was eating, and Zhuang Xuewen didn't move her chopsticks at all and just kept looking at her.

Zhuang Rou's appearance of eating was not hideous, but the speed was very fast, and she didn't feel like she had eaten much, but most of the dishes on the table had already been swept away by her.

When she was full, Zhuang Xuewen asked, "Sister, do you want to raise these children at home for human use?" ”

"No, it's up to my brother to arrange it. It's best to be able to read and write, it's best to learn some skills, and be a subordinate at home, won't you still be a subordinate in the future? Zhuang Rou shook her head and said.

"There are sufferings and blessings. This is not to say that it is not good to let the other party give you the current person, it will only cause injustice in your heart. Although we have endured hardships together for so long, we can live a good life now, so let's not get together again. ”

Zhuang Xuewen looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect to hear such words, and thought that she would ask for everyone to be brought to the house together. But I didn't expect her to want anyone, just so that everyone can eat and wear warm clothes, and they can live a normal life.

Sure enough, it was his sister, who was so smart, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, I can arrange for someone to adopt them, and it's up to them whether they can make a difference in the future." ”

"Thank you, brother, as for my father's affairs, please don't worry about it." Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "If Brother Corpse hasn't heard of it, then it's gone, and it's useless to look for it, after all, it's been seven years." ”

"What, it's been seven years!" Zhuang Xuewen's heart sank, when he saw the tablet, he thought that the second uncle and his wife were living in seclusion because of something, and she would become a homeless person not long after she passed away.

If it was seven years, then Zhuang Rou would have lived alone outside at the age of five, and it wasn't that something happened shortly after leaving the capital.

His face became gloomy, "Sister, second uncle, what the hell happened to them!" ”

Zhuang Rou tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "I don't know, although my father was a little prestigious, he wouldn't have been exposed to any big cases, and he couldn't have anything to offend the big officials and the emperor's relatives." I still don't know what happened, I was just going to go out to the beach for a month, and I met a gangster halfway through. ”

"You tell me carefully, brother didn't mean to remind you of something unhappy, but this matter must be clarified." Zhuang Xuewen naturally knows how big a case his second uncle can meddle in, although he has the name of being arrested, he is only the last stream, and it is impossible to encounter any cases that will be eliminated.

At that time, Zhuang Rou was only five years old, she couldn't remember what happened at the time, she only knew that a few people jumped out on the road, covered their faces and dressed tightly, and later recalled that they must not be ordinary bandits, but sent by others.

She said what happened in bits and pieces, and Zhuang Xuewen couldn't hear it, who could do such a thing.

At this time, Zhuang Rou said: "Brother, I was pulled into the river by the startled horse and the car, and I was washed out. At that time, I wanted to go back to you, but I was too young to know the way, and when I was older, I couldn't remember where my home was. ”

"When life is very hard, there is also hatred for who killed my father and mother, thinking that I must live well to take revenge. Then I didn't want to be able to live, but I should have wanted to live. ”

Zhuang Xuewen looked at her carefully, not wanting to hear her say such things, a girl of her age should live a very happy life. How long will it take for the hardships you have endured and the wounds you have suffered in your heart to heal, so let yourself keep it for a long time.

"We will enter Beijing tomorrow, your brother is also a little talented in the capital, and the teacher of Guozijian likes me very much. Although it is not a place with power, it is still okay to ensure that you are not bullied and have food and clothing. Zhuang Xuewen touched her head and smiled.

Zhuang Rou smiled and nodded, my brother was the same as when he was a child, he was still so good to himself.

On the second day, Zhuang Xuewen bought another carriage and took these children to Beijing, and finally arrived in the capital after more than half a month.

The children were arranged elsewhere and each lived a peaceful life, and Zhuang Rou was taken to Zhuang Xuewen's home. Only here did she know that her uncle had passed away a few years ago, and only her brother and three subordinates were left in the small house.

A woman who cooks, the same one she was there when she was a child. She had also seen the man who was the gatekeeper and took care of the flowers and plants, and she used to get fresh flowers from him to wear. The only remaining strength is the son of the cook, Liu Mi, a little fat man who was always running snot when he was an hour, and was three years older than her, but he ran away when he saw her all day long.

Seeing Zhuang Xuewen asking the cook to find a little girl ring and come back, Zhuang Rou refused: "Brother, don't find me a girl, I'm used to being alone." ”

Seeing that she was very persistent, Zhuang Xuewen forgot it, and when she got used to it in the future, it would be okay to find another one to serve her, "Okay, if you need anything, just tell my brother." Saying that, he took out a small purse and handed it to Zhuang Rou's hand, "Inside is this month's monthly money, you are already old, there must be a place to spend money." You can usually go out and have more fun, and I'll take you to meet your friend's sister when you have time, and you can make a few more friends. ”

Zhuang Rou took the purse and nodded, and after saying some more words, Zhuang Xuewen asked her to take a rest first, and take her out to see the night view of the capital at night.

After entering the house and closing the door, Zhuang Rou was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, took out a raw embroidered dagger from his arms and threw it on the table. She climbed onto the table and smiled sweetly: "He is really my brother, not a liar, not a bad brother, but a really good brother." ”

Zhuang Xuewen stood under the window, listening to the sound inside, and he smiled bitterly. Zhuang Rou had hidden the knife in his arms and he had already discovered it, and it had not been broken. Thinking that she was so vigilant, I only felt distressed, what a bad environment could make her become like this.

However, as long as I get home, I will definitely return to the cute girl I used to be. Thinking of this, he smiled and quietly exited the courtyard.
