Su Ze took Qi Ran in three steps and two steps to the door not far away, and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin, are you at home?"

Creak!

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and suddenly a figure jumped into Su Ze's arms.

"Brother, you're back, I miss you so much. An unkempt little girl drilled into Su Ze's arms, as if she wanted to melt into Su Ze's body.

"Ozawa is back, let's get inside, and friends? ”

Behind the little girl was an old woman with a wrinkled face, showing her age.

Hearing that there were still people, the little girl's head swished up, lying on her brother's shoulder, and her big eyes flickered and looked at Qi Ran.

"Hello Aunt Qin, little sister, hello. Qi Ran smiled and said hello to the little girl, and followed Su Ze into the room.

"Wow~ How do you know my name, it's amazing. Oh~ It must have been my brother who told you, or my brother is the most powerful, hehe~"

Although the little girl was unkempt, she couldn't hide his cute appearance, her big smart eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler.

"Sit down, I'll pour some tea. "Seeing Su Ze, Aunt Qin was also very happy.

After Su Ze sat down, the little girl still refused to leave his embrace, nesting on him greedily like a kitten.

"Qi Ran, this is my sister, her name is Su Meimei, you can just call her Xiaomei, I smiled. Su Ze affectionately combed his sister's messy hair, looking cautious for fear of hurting her.

"Xiaomei is cute, how old is she?" Qi Ran asked with a smile.

Infected by Xiaomei, Qi Ran always had a faint smile on his face from the beginning of seeing her, perhaps this is the unique charm of children.

"I'm five years old. Without waiting for Su Ze to answer, Xiaomei rushed to say in her own milk voice.

Later, I saw her raise two fleshy little hands, facing Qi Ran, tilting her little head and thinking for a moment, one little hand raised three fingers, and the other little hand raised two fingers, "Look, five years old." ”

The funny hand gesture made Qi Ran's smile thicken, "Xiaomei is so smart." ”

Due to Su Ze's arrival, Xiaomei's laughter like silver bells came from time to time in the room, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qi Ran looked at the close brother and sister and was envious.

Gradually, the sky began to darken.

Seeing this, Su Ze proposed, "Aunt Qin, you can go out to eat with us." ”

Every time Su Ze comes back, he will first take Xiaomei out for a delicious meal, and he is never an exception.

Aunt Qin smiled and waved her hand, "I won't go, you guys go, you're all at this age, everything you eat is the same, let's go, take Xiaomei to eat more good." ”

"Okay, then you can take the money, don't be too little. As if he had known the answer for a long time, Su Ze took out three medium-grade Xuanshi in his arms.

Suddenly, Aunt Qin was a little displeased, "Give me money every time you come back, how many times have you said it, taking care of Xiaomei is my voluntariness, you also know that I am a lonely old man, with Xiaomei accompanying me, it's too late to be happy, quickly take back the money, you eat more good." ”

The two of you pushed me to let it, but in the end, the money was still left by Aunt Qin, and it was really hard to beat Su Ze.

"Oh~Eat well~" After Aunt Qin accepted the money, Xiaomei slipped into her brother's arms again without paying attention, dancing happily.

Su Ze specially took her to freshen up just now, and after grooming, Xiaomei's little face was white and tender, and her big black eyes were as clear as stars, like a happy little angel.

Su Ze hugged Xiaomei and Qi Ran and left Aunt Qin's house.

As soon as he went out, Qi Ran said that he had forgotten something and turned back again.

In the room, Aunt Qin saw Qi Ran going and returning, and asked suspiciously, "Qi Ran, why did you come back?" ”

Qi Ran smiled and took out ten medium-grade Xuanshi in his arms, "Aunt Qin, just call me Xiao Ran, there is some money here, Su Ze knows that you don't accept it, so let me give it to you, you can accept it." ”

It's not that Qi Ran is reluctant to give more, it's that he knows that if there are too many, Aunt Qin will definitely not accept it.

Looking at the Xuanshi handed over by Qi Ran, Aunt Qin hesitated for a moment, and then smiled, Qi Ran's careful thinking made her see it at a glance.

"Ozawa has you as a friend, I'm very happy for him, if he makes you unhappy in the future, I hope you don't get too angry, after all, he doesn't have much time, alas...... Hard-working child. ”

Time is running out? Aunt Qin'er's words made Qi Ran stunned suddenly.

"You still don't know?" Looking at Qi Ran's appearance, Aunt Qin asked.

Qi Ran immediately shook his head.

Seeing this, Aunt Qin sighed and said: "Xiao Ze, this child is like this, he always reports good news and does not report bad news, and does not hide it from you, Xiao Ze suffers from hemosomiasis, which is a family genetic disease, if it is not treated, he will not live to be twenty years old at all. ”

Qi Ran was shocked, "How old is Su Ze this year?"

"Nineteen. ”

In an instant, Qi Ran understood why Su Ze joined the Grim Reaper Gate, he wanted to leave a sum of money for his sister before he died.

Mei?

Suddenly, a question flashed through Qi Ran's mind, "Aunt Qin, you said that Su Ze's father didn't live past the age of twenty, so Xiaomei shouldn't be Su Ze's own sister, right?"

Inferred from age, Xiaomei should not be Su Ze's own sister.

"Not really. Aunt Qin replied.

Hearing the answer, Qi Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, things were not as good as he imagined, and Aunt Qin'er's next sentence instantly poured on his head like a bucket of cold water,

"But Xiaomei also has hemosomiasis. ”

"What?" Qi Ran was taken aback again, "Didn't you say that you weren't a brother and sister, why did Xiaomei have it?"

Aunt Qin's expression was a little gloomy, and she said, "They are indeed not brothers and sisters. Soon after Ozawa's father died, his mother also left, leaving Ozawa to live alone, but fortunately he was already very sensible at that time and could take care of himself, and I often went to see him, after all, he was still a child.

But one day, when I went to see him, I suddenly found that there was an extra child in the family, that is, Xiaomei, who was still a baby at that time, and Ozawa was only fifteen years old at the time.

Later, I asked Ozawa that he had picked it up by him on the side of the road.

Originally, I wanted to take Xiaomei home to take care of her, after all, Ozawa is still young, and it is barely possible to take care of himself. But Ozawa insisted that he take care of him, and I could see that Ozawa needed a loved one very much, so I agreed.

Who would have thought, one day I saw Ozawa's fingers bleeding, and Xiaomei actually took it in her mouth in distress.

Hemosomiasis can not only be inherited in families, but can also be transmitted through blood, and Ozawa did not know how his father died at that time, let alone that he had hemoworm disease.

In order to have any accidents in the future, I had to tell Ozawa the truth.

For this reason, Ozawa blamed himself for a long time, thinking that he had harmed Xiaomei, but the matter had come to this, and Ozawa poured all his love into Xiaomei. ”

After speaking, Aunt Qin was a little crying, which showed that she really regarded Xiao Ze and Xiaomei as her own children.

Qi Ran was gloomy.

Just now, he was still envious of Su Ze, but after hearing this, he seemed to have pressed a big stone on his heart, and he was a little out of breath.

"Does Xiaomei know?" Qi Ran said in a deep voice.

"I know, what Ozawa told her was that she was afraid of any more accidents. ”

What a cruel thing it is for a child who is only five years old to know early on that he will not live to be twenty years old.

Qi Ran understood Su Ze's approach very well.

"Is there a cure for hemosomiasis?"

"There is one, but the conditions are too harsh. Aunt Qin replied.

Suddenly, Qi Ran rose with a glimmer of hope, "What conditions?"

"The person who exchanges blood and exchanges blood with it must be a great mystic master or a higher cultivator. ”

"Great Xuanshi......" Qi Ran pondered for a moment, "Can't you find the Great Xuanshi?" or do you need a lot of money?"

Aunt Qin shook her head, "It's not as simple as you think, blood exchange is to replace all the blood in the whole body without a drop left, and to fresh blood, it will be invalid if it is out of the body for more than half an hour, which is equivalent to exchanging life for life, and it must be voluntary, otherwise it will be punished by heaven." ”

Qi Ran frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
