Chapter 377: Greed

When Elder Chen dragged He Xiao to He Xuan's residence, He Xuan was lucky, he happened to go out for a walk, and he was not in the house, so he just avoided the front and back feet. Elder Chen scolded secretly in his heart, but the person was gone, so he had to go out and find it back, otherwise he would have gathered here to find the people who came to watch the play in a while, and they went to sing elsewhere, so he was not busy in vain.

Elder Chen left He Xiao where he was and comforted, "I'll go find your brother, you wait for me here for a while now." He Xiao nodded and obediently stayed where he was.

Seeing Elder Chen's back go away, He Xiao refocused his eyes on the small courtyard where He Xiao lived, his expression was a little complicated, it was also his father's blood and bones, He Xuan's residence was quiet and elegant, but he only lived in a small dark house, and he was precarious. I don't feel anything without such a visual impact, but with such a visual impact, He Xiao suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Ruoshui and Mo Yue returned to He Xuan's residence after discussing the matter, and saw a little boy in tattered clothes outside the door, about eight or nine years old, staring at the small courtyard where she and He Xuan lived with a complicated expression, with a little sadness and grievance on his face. Ruoshui saw that the little boy's face was yellow and thin, and he looked malnourished at first glance, and he couldn't bear it, and was about to come forward to ask, after seeing the little boy's face

I swallowed back the words of inquiry. Because she was surprised to find that He Xiao's face was the same as He Xuan, she couldn't even see the truth herself, obviously someone had deliberately covered it up.

Ruoshui suddenly fell into deep thought, thinking about what the identity of this little boy was, who covered the faces of him and He Xuan, and who had such the ability to cover their faces, even they could only see half of it, this line was already quite high, although it was not as good as himself, but it was not too much, there was such a person, why didn't he know.

He Xiao only ate less than half of the hard cake just now, and this cake was the only meal of the day, and He Xiao's stomach was gurgling at this time. He Xiao clutched his stomach, and the expression on his face became even more sad. He Xiao's appearance was long and pleasant, and it was really pitiful, Ruoshui temporarily forgot about his concerns just now, and stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" How is it here? ”

He Xiao was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with watery eyes, smart and clear, but the facial features on her face were extremely ugly, which made people dislike it. However, He Xiao himself was just a poor person who was not pleasant, and he did not dislike Ruoshui's appearance, he lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I came to find my brother." ”

Ruoshui looked at He Xiao in surprise, and thought of He Xiao's appearance, and suddenly blessed his heart, and suddenly said: "Ah, you are He Xuan's younger brother." ”

He Xiaoqi said: "How do you know? ”

Ruoshui looked at He Xiao with a smile, but did not answer He Xiao's words, Ruoshui regarded He Xuan as his friend from the bottom of his heart because of He Xuan's maintenance several times, and saw that the child in front of him was He Xuan's younger brother, so he did not treat He Xiao as an outsider. stepped forward and grabbed He Xiao and pulled He Xiao into the house: "I'm your brother's friend, are you hungry?" I still have some pastries there, which were given by a friend, and they are in my house, so you can eat some to cushion your stomach first, and I will pour you water. ”

Ruoshui pressed He Xiao on the stool, took out the pastries given by Moyue and gave them to He Xiao to eat, and turned around to pour water for He Xiao. He Xiao was really hungry, and when he saw the pastries he hadn't eaten for many years, he couldn't care about anything else, so he grabbed the pastries on the table and devoured them.

Seeing He Xiao's appearance, Ruoshui flashed a trace of tenderness in his eyes, handed over the water cup, and said softly: "Don't worry, eat slowly, drink some water, don't choke." ”

He Xiao had never met someone who spoke so gently to him since his mother passed away, his eyes were red for a while, and he wept while eating pastries with his head down. Ruoshui was surprised when he saw this: "It's just a few pieces of pastry, why are you still eating and crying?" As he spoke, he got up and took a water-soaked face towel, came over and said softly: "They are all little men, why are they still crying, and they are not ashamed." Come, my sister will wipe your face. ”

Ruoshui carefully wiped He Xiao's face and hands again, during which He Xiao stared at Ruoshui without taking his eyes off at all. He Xiao's heart was sour, although Ruoshui was ugly, not as beautiful as his mother, but his gentle appearance and the concern in his eyes were very similar to the mother in his memory, and he was reluctant to look away for a while.

Ruoshui saw that He Xiao stopped eating pastries, and said with a smile: "Why don't you eat it?" Eat it, I'll go wash the face towel. With that, he got up and left. When He Xiao saw such Ruoshui, he suddenly coveted the warmth brought to him by this ugly girl.

Although He Xiao is young, he is not stupid and is still very smart. He knows who is good for him and who is bad for him. Although Elder Chen often came to see him and brought him some bread to eat, he knew that those were the most inferior foods, if Elder Chen really cared about him, he would not treat him like a beggar, and from Elder Chen's expression when he often inquired about his life experience, he felt that it was he who was useful to Elder Chen, and Elder Chen gave him food.

As for Zong Jing, when he looked at himself, there was complexity and disgust in his eyes, but he didn't like it at all, and his own brother only had undisguised hatred and disgust for him. Except for the dead mother, only this ugly girl has a pity and doting expression on herself, and her heart suddenly became greedy, he was reluctant to leave Ruoshui today, and return to the kind of days when no one loved and no one loved.

He Xiao was eating pastries, but he was calculating how to stay with this ugly girl. In the past, he had always hoped that his brother could forgive him and love him, but now he transferred that unrealistic expectation to Ruoshui.

The two of them were sitting in the house eating pastries, and they didn't say a few words before they heard a noise outside, Ruoshui took He Xiao out, and saw a bunch of people gathered outside the small courtyard, as soon as Ruoshui and He Xiao went out, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to He Xiao.

Everyone saw that although He Xiao was dressed in tatters and had a yellow face and thin muscles, his hands and face were clean, and he was still holding a piece of pastry in his hand to eat. Seeing this, Elder Chen's heart sank, but he said with a smile on his face: "It's good that He Xuan can know his mistakes, that's right, he is a brother, how can he watch him starve to death?" Even if there is a great grudge, it should be over. ”

He Xuan looked at Elder Chen with a cold face: "What Elder Chen said is light, the enmity of his parents is not shared, how can he pass it in one sentence?" ”

He Xuan's words hit Elder Chen's heart, and he was overjoyed, and said quietly on his face: "What are you talking about?" How did Elder Zong teach you? has no education at all, how can his younger brother be an enemy? Did he kill your father? ”
