After Xiao Nian got the money, he didn't let Tianchi help, but he dragged the cloth bag very hard, at the beginning, Tianchi didn't understand what Xiao Nian was going to do, and finally it wasn't until Xiao Nian walked to an abandoned house that he couldn't help but stop.

"What are you here for?"

Tianchi looked at Xiao Nian puzzled and asked.

"It's nothing, a mother-in-law who took care of me a long time ago, and then left from the mountain, saying that she went to a far place, and said that if she wants a lot of money in the future, she will come here, she said that there are a lot of children like me here, I don't know very much, but Xiao Nian has a lot of money now, so she came. ”

Xiao Nian also looked a little dazed, and as he spoke, he pushed open a very broken courtyard door and walked in with Tianchi.

"Then does your mother know about this?"

Tianchi nodded, and then asked casually.

"Mother, she doesn't know, but Mother told me that mother-in-law is a person close to Xiao Nian. ”

Xiao Nian replied with big eyes.

It wasn't until this time that Tianchi guessed a little, maybe Xiao Nian was once brought to the mountain by this mother-in-law, and the so-called went to a far place, probably referring to the fact that he had passed away......

"Uncle, are you looking for someone?"

And just as the two of them pushed the door and entered the broken courtyard, a little boy in ragged clothes asked Tianchi in a milky voice.

"I looked for my mother-in-law, and it was my mother-in-law who asked me to come here. ”

Xiao Nian no longer paid attention to Tianchi when he heard this, but said seriously to the little boy in front of him.

"Mother-in-law? There is no mother-in-law here, only mother-in-law. ”

The little boy also paused, and then thought about it a short time later.

"Xiaoshun, who is here?"

Just as the little boy finished speaking, there was a sound of inquiry in the house, and as he spoke, he saw a woman in cloth in her forties and fifties walking out, and she was followed by five or six children, each with a child hanging in swaddling clothes on her back and in her arms.

"Mother, they came to find a mother-in-law, does Mother know?"

Xiaoshun turned around and asked.

"Yes, we're here to find Granny Kong. ”

Xiao Nian also hurriedly interjected.

Looking at the woman again, when she heard the three words of Granny Kong, her face couldn't help but darken, and after a while, she suddenly looked up at Xiao Nian.

"Son, you're seven years old?"

The cloth-clothed woman asked in a trembling voice.

"You are so amazing, you even know Xiao Nian's age!"

Xiao Nian also looked at the cloth-clothed woman with a surprised face and said.

Hearing Xiao Nian say this, the cloth woman's face suddenly burst with excitement, but when she looked at the richly dressed Tianchi again, her expression couldn't help but become entangled, as if she wanted to step forward to take a good look at Xiao Nian, but because of Tianchi's presence, she didn't dare to say anything.

"Xiao Nian, you play with everyone for a while, I have something to tell this aunt, okay?"

Seeing this, Tianchi couldn't help but smile and lowered his head, and then kissed Xiao Nian's puff on the face, and then said with a doting face.

"Well, Xiao Nian listens to his father the most, and Xiao Nian will wait for his father very obediently. ”

Xiao Nian smiled, and then said happily.

After saying that, he didn't even want the cloth bag, so he jumped to the side and played with the children.

"This eldest sister, can I say a few words to you?"

Tianchi stood up, then asked with a smile at the cloth-clothed woman.

"Naturally, come in and sit down. ”

When the clothed woman heard this, she also nodded hurriedly and said.

Entering the house, Tianchi couldn't help but feel sad, there was no extra arrangement in the house, except for some shabby quilts, the rest was a makeshift stove, and there was a black pot on it, I don't know what was boiling in it, it seemed that some wild vegetables were boiling with water, and it was constantly steaming outward.

"There is no place to stay at home, which really makes the eldest man laugh. ”

The woman in cloth said very politely to Tianchi with a respectful face.

"Oh, it's okay, but I didn't invite me to disturb the eldest sister Ansheng. ”

Tianchi also clenched his fists, and then said with a straight face.

"Don't dare...... I don't know if the old man has ...... What did you bring that kid here?"

The cloth-clothed woman first looked at Xiao Nian playing in the courtyard with a loving face, and then asked Tianchi with a tangled face.

"Oh, I didn't bring her here, it was this kid who brought me here, may I ask...... Do you know this kid?"

Tianchi shook his head and smiled, and then asked hesitantly.

"Huh...... When she picked up this child, she was only about this old, but she didn't expect to be so tall after seven years of not seeing. ”

The cloth-clothed woman smiled bitterly, and then said as she thought about it.

"The mother-in-law who used to take care of Xiao Nian, but your ......?"

Tianchi thought for a moment, and then continued to ask.

"Well, it's my mother, a long time ago, the family was also rich, but later the Great Xia Southern Expedition, ruined the family's pastoral house, the mother couldn't bear to see the down-and-out people sell their sons and daughters, so they scattered all the family wealth to take in us these abandoned children, although after the southern country was pacified, everyone was comfortable, but in front of my house there are still often abandoned children, in order to take care of them...... Alas. ”

The woman in the cloth sighed as she spoke.

"But do you regret your decision?"

Tianchi saw the woman in cloth lamenting, so he couldn't help but ask carefully.

"It's not, it's just that my mother has always done good deeds all her life, but I never thought that in the end, I ended up wrapped in a straw mat and buried in the wilderness. ”

The cloth-clothed woman couldn't help but wipe away her tears as she spoke.

"Oh......? Ahem, didn't the place where Xiao Nian was taken in give money and bury his mother-in-law?"

When Tianchi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"No, no, no, a lot of money was given, but the mother was snatched away by the ruffian not long after she died, if it weren't for that, why let the rest of these children suffer this kind of sin. ”

The woman in cloth couldn't help but look hateful when she spoke, but more helplessly.

"Oh, there is such a thing, and where is the ruffian?"

Tianchi was angry in his heart, but he also knew that the world was so big, and this kind of thing would never be less, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then frowned and asked.

"Alas, don't mention it......"

The cloth-clothed woman looked embarrassed, and then said hesitantly.

She also knew that the richly dressed young man in front of her should have some power, but what could she do, after punishing the other party, when the young man was gone, the evil ruffian would not give up even more, and then I am afraid that this day would be even more sad.

"Daddy!"

And while the two were talking, Xiao Nian, who was originally outside the house, walked in with a pouting and an unhappy face, and then shouted at Tianchi.

"What's wrong with my baby girl?"

Tianchi was unhappy when he saw Xiao Nian, so he quickly hugged Xiao Nian into his arms and petted him.

"Dad! Xiao Nian is upset!"

Xiao Nian pouted and grabbed the corner of Tianchi's clothes and said.

"Oh, who upset you? Tell Daddy, Daddy will help you get angry. ”

Tianchi also straightened his face, and then asked seriously.

"I don't know, it's just that my younger brothers and sisters and my brothers and sisters say that there are always people here who come to bully them, so Xiao Nian is not happy!"

Xiao Nian said angrily while shaking his body in Tianchi's arms.

"What does that baby girl want her dad to do?"

Tianchi saw that Xiao Nian was still unhappy, so he couldn't help but hurriedly coax Xiao Nian to ask.

"Beat them until they don't dare to bully them!"

When Xiao Nian heard this, he hurriedly stopped writhing, and then waved his small fist and said.

"Okay! Daddy listens to you, and beats up these uneducated things. ”

Tianchi also nodded seriously and said.

"Okay, which of you came to tell me Daddy, who bullied you, my Dad is very powerful, that big red yard do you know? There is a beautiful and beautiful big sister who listens to Daddy, don't be afraid, just say it. ”

When Xiao Nian heard that Tianchi really agreed, he turned around and said loudly to the few little guys who followed behind him.

And the big courtyard and beautiful big sister she talked about naturally refers to Emperor E, who lives in the imperial city.

"This ......"

When those children heard this, they seemed to be very scared, first looked at Tianchi, and then looked at their mothers who hinted that they couldn't talk nonsense, and they couldn't help but hesitate one by one.

"Xiao Nian, go and bring that cloth bag in. ”

Of course, Tianchi also knew what the cloth-clothed woman was worried about, so he gently patted Xiao Nian's shoulder and said.

"Okay Dad. ”

Xiao Nian smiled sweetly, and then ran out of the room.

Soon, Xiao Nian returned to the house, dragging a large bag behind him.

"Your name is Xiaoshun, right?"

After taking the cloth bag, Tianchi asked Xiaoshun with a smile.

"Yes, is there anything wrong with the eldest uncle?"

Xiaoshun walked out and asked.

"Uncle asked you, will you buy anything?"

Tianchi smiled and continued to ask.

"Yes, many times Xiaoshun went out to buy rice noodles. ”

Xiao Shun said to Tianchi with the appearance of a little adult.

"The eldest uncle is also a guest here, but you don't have anything to entertain the eldest uncle at home, and now the eldest uncle wants to ask you to do me a favor, you can take the money to buy some meat and vegetables outside, is it okay?"

As he spoke, Tianchi took out a few gold leaves from the cloth bag and handed them to Xiao Shun's hand.

When Xiaoshun got the gold leaf, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to have seen this kind of thing, and hesitated whether to take it.

"How can I let you break the bank, I also like a little bit of money here, it's enough to buy things. ”

Seeing Tianchi take out the money, the young woman in cloth who was sitting on the side couldn't help but hurriedly take out a small cloth bag wrapped layer by layer, shook out a few broken coins from it, and said that she was about to hand it to Xiaoshun.

It seems that this sensible child is indeed able to go out shopping alone, or how to say that "the children of poor families are in charge of the house early".

"Xiaoshun, your mother has no money, can you bear to take her money again? Xiaoshun is a little man, now he should borrow the money of the eldest uncle, and then pay back the eldest uncle when he gets married in the future?"

Tianchi saw that Xiaoshun was about to reach out to receive the money from the cloth-clothed woman, so he couldn't help but ask with a sinking face.

Sure enough, as soon as Tianchi's voice fell, Xiao Shun's hand was immediately retracted......
