A few minutes later, the courtyard door opened, and the young man was followed by an old man, wrapped in shabby clothes of no color.

The old man said, "Do you really want rabbits as a ten-day lodging fee?" ”

"Of course, our sister and brother are full of sincerity." Lin Yan raised the rabbit in his hand, "Uncle, we are out of the house, it is inconvenient, please reach out and help." ”

"You have rabbits as a reward, you can go anywhere." Although the old man was tempted, he was reluctant to accept the rabbit, but he still did not agree.

The two people who suddenly appeared, neatly dressed, did not look like poor people, and it was risky to take in such a person.

Seeing his concerns, Lin Yan took the initiative to say: "Don't hide it, we are not from Yongcheng, we are from Fengcheng, or we are here to gain knowledge." Now in this ghost weather, we can't leave if we want to, and our sister and brother have no money to stay in the inn, so they went to hunt rabbits as a reward in exchange for accommodation. ”

After listening to her words, the old man's face became less guarded, and he secretly thought in his heart that those who dared to go out hunting in this weather had great skills.

After a little hesitation, he said, "It's okay for you to live, the rabbit has to be given to us first." ”

"No problem." Lin Yan happily handed the rabbit over.

The young man hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and his face showed joy.

Entering the door smoothly, Lin Yan inquired about the family's situation.

The old man's surname is Qi, the head of the family, and he lives with his two sons, a large family.

The young man who just opened the door was Qi Shu, the eldest son of Old Man Qi, who was already married and had two children, the eldest was three years old, and the younger one couldn't walk.

Qi Lin is the second son, who is twenty-one years old, but he can't marry a daughter-in-law because of his poor family.

The days are getting more and more difficult, and they can't eat enough, who can take care of marrying a daughter-in-law.

As soon as he entered the house, Qi Lin stared at the rabbit fiercely, like a hungry wolf.

Seeing his son like that, Qi Latou was ashamed and scolded a few words. When he looked at Lin Yan and the others again, his face was much better.

He said: "The family has a hard time, and there are still more than two months to survive the cold season, and the family is struggling to survive. ”

Lin Yan looked at the family, the house was dilapidated and low, the cold wind blew in the biting chill, the only thing that could keep warm was a brazier in the hall, with sawn firewood piled on the side, and a handful of firewood was added when the fire was about to go out.

The whole family gathered here to keep warm, and the clothes on their bodies were wrapped in layers, as if they had taken out all the clothes and put them on their bodies to protect them from the cold.

This situation is very bad at first glance, and I don't even dare to use more firewood, let alone food.

A fat hare, the temptation is too great for them.

After nearly a month of hard work, everyone was sallow and skinny.

Lin Yan looked at the three-year-old child, a female doll, thin and thin, without a little flesh on her body, like a small skeleton.

The small face with a big palm, the pair of dark eyes occupy half of it, and it is very unbearable to look at.

Such children should be well fed, clothed, and carefree to play. It's a pity that I was born in this cannibalistic place, and it is a luxury to live.

Seeing her staring at her eldest granddaughter, Old Man Qi sighed and said, "The little doll is not sensible, don't you mind." He thought that his granddaughter had been staring at people, which attracted Lin Yan's attention.

Lin Yan shook his head, "It's okay, I have a few pieces of candy here, give it to her." ”

She took out two fructose from her bag and handed them to the little doll.

The child stared longingly at the candy in her hand, but did not dare to reach for it.

Lin Yan squatted down and looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "Take it, this is called fructose, you can eat it by tearing the wrapped paper." ”

The little doll looked at the white candy wrapper in her hand, then looked at her and asked, "What is fructose?" ”

"Sweet candy, you'll know it once you've tasted it." Lin Yan peeled off the candy paper and sent it to the little doll's mouth.

She opened her mouth, and her mouth was sweet, something she had never tasted before.

The little doll smiled with big eyes, "It's delicious, this is the taste of sweetness?" ”

"Yes, it's fructose, a candy for children. What's your name? ”

"Qi Hui, nicknamed Yaya."

Three-year-old baby, articulate clearly.

In the question and answer, the Qi family looked at Lin Yan a little differently, this is for the child?

And Lin Yan didn't seem to notice their gaze, and patiently said fairy tales, feeling sorry for Yaya.

What a smart and clever doll, but born here, not enough to eat and wear, and already understand the hardships of life.

Intelligent, precocious, and prematurely understands the difficulties of life.

She touched her head, "Do you want to read and write, practice martial arts, and do a great career in the future?" ”

"Can you eat without starving?" Yaya opened a pair of black and white eyes, and she didn't understand what she said at all, only caring about whether she was hungry.

But Old Man Qi and Qi Lin understood the meaning of her words, their eyes changed, they glanced at each other, turned their heads in unison, and said nothing.

Born in a family like them, how can they have the qualifications to read and write, let alone a female doll.

Lin Yan didn't say much else, and gossiped with Old Man Qi, talking about the daily life of the people of Yongcheng.

In every word, it is a bitter word.

With the rabbits they brought, the Qi family didn't open up and eat a big meal, just cleaned up and processed the rabbits, cut off a small piece of meat, chopped it into pieces, and mixed a few bones to make a pot of soup.

There was no salt to taste, but Lin Yan took out the seasoning they brought with him, which made the pot of soup taste slightly better.

In her eyes, a very rough pot of broth is an excellent delicacy for the Qi family.

Everyone was satisfied, and the bowl of soup was soaked with water, and the bowl was cleaner than before it was used.

Mi Yang has mixed feelings in his heart, and he has seen many poor people along the way, and they have a difficult life.

Since he was born, his life in Sun City has been better, he has not suffered any hardships, he has a talent for cultivation, his family is spoiled, and he eats the best.

Sleeping with Lin Yanfeng, he felt that he could already endure hardships, but at this moment, he felt that it was far from enough.

When it comes to hardship, he is not even as good as a three-year-old girl. He was luckier than the little girl, born in a small rich family in Sun City.

The Qi family's wariness of the two slowly dissipated after seeing what they were carrying.

One of them carried a big burden, and there were all kinds of things in it, including food and clothing, and they were not poor people at first glance.

And the Qi family is dilapidated and poor, and there is nothing to plot. People are just looking for a place to stay.

It was getting dark, so Lin Yan and Mi Yang went out over the wall, set up the horses, picked up some firewood and came back.

The Qi family is too shabby, and there is not much firewood, so in order not to wake up from freezing at night, they can only do it themselves.

Qi Lin's eyes widened when he saw the firewood behind them, "Where did you get the firewood?" ”

At this time, firewood is very expensive and scarce, and people like them have to rely on saving and hard work to survive.

Half a month after entering the cold season, the city gate is closed and people are not allowed to enter or leave.

Lin Yan said casually: "I picked it up outside the wall." ”

"Which wall?" Qi Lin asked, he was too curious.

"It's not far from your house, it's over there."

Qi Lin's face changed greatly, and he lowered his voice and said, "That's the city wall, how did you climb over it?" The city lord's mansion ordered that it was forbidden to climb over the wall, and if it was discovered, it would be executed. ”

"So serious?" Lin Yan was taken aback.

Qi Lin nodded and said solemnly, "Did anyone see you?" Where did you get the ladder to climb over the wall? ”

Seeing that he was really afraid, Lin Yan explained it in detail, reassuring him not to worry, the two of them didn't need a ladder to climb over the wall, they could cross it in the blink of an eye.

Qi Lin didn't believe it, Lin Yan let Mi Yang easily go up to the roof, the facts were in front of him, and the Qi family was stunned.

It turns out that these two people are not ordinary people. The look in his eyes immediately changed.

In these years, people with this ability can not be found, and people can easily climb over the city wall to collect firewood for hunting, and there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Old man Qi said excitedly: "The two of you are amazing, I have lost my eyes." You can live at home with confidence, live as long as you want, and say what you need to do, and we will definitely cooperate. ”

Qi Lin stared at Mi Yang with bright eyes, "I want to learn martial arts from you, and I can worship you as a teacher." ”

"I don't take apprentices." Mi Yang took a step back in fright, this person who looked obviously older than himself wanted to apprentice?

Qi Lin pestered Mi Yang without giving up, Lin Yan had no intention of breaking the siege, and watched happily from the side.

When the afterglow swept to Yaya, she had an idea in her heart, but now was not the time to speak.

In this way, the two lived in Qi's house. It is too conspicuous to go out during the day, and they all act at night, shuttling around the mansion of Yongcheng.

After a few days like this, seeing that the Qi family really didn't have anything to eat, Lin Yan and Mi Yang had to go out every day to settle the horses, so they took some prey and brought them back.

The Qi family is grateful to them and can't wait to offer them up.

A month passed, Lin Yan and Mi Yang touched the large and small mansions in Yongcheng, and the list of Yongcheng families was listed.

The goal was achieved, and Lin Yan offered his farewell. However, before leaving, he specially prepared a lot of meat for the Qi family, which was enough for them to survive the cold season.

The night before leaving, Lin Yan hesitated again and again, but still proposed to take Yaya away.

This kid is so smart that staying here for a few more years will be delayed. Besides, the situation in Yongcheng is more serious than that in Fengcheng, and the lives of the common people are too difficult, and she is afraid that she will never see this child again.

She and Miyang can still do it with a child. With a single effort, you can change Yaya's life.

Hearing her words, the Qi family seemed to be stupid, and they didn't expect her to take Yaya away at all.

That is the first child of the grandchildren of the Qi family, even if it is a girl, the family is reluctant to give it away, and it is still someone who does not know the details.

Seeing this, Lin Yan explained with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I just see that Yaya is young, smart, and talented, and he may be able to become a person like us if he follows us." I can guarantee that I will raise her well, feed her well, dress well, and read and read. ”

Seeing that they still didn't believe me, she continued, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm from Sun City, a far away place, and it's completely different from Yongcheng. I'll take her to Sunshine City, and when she's older, I'll let her come back to you. If you have the opportunity, you can also go to Sun City to find Yaya. ”

Seeing that Lin Yan really wanted to take Yaya away, Mi Yang rarely opened his mouth to persuade: "This is Yaya's opportunity, if you miss it, you won't have it again." ”

Old Man Qi's family hesitated, but the three-year-old girl seemed to understand and took the initiative to follow.

In the end, under the reluctance of the Qi family, Lin Yan and Mi Yang took Yaya over the wall and left Yongcheng.

The Qi family who stayed behind sat in the room and looked at each other, as if the experience of this period of time was like a dream.

A few years later, when they learned what the Cité Soleil was, they couldn't stop patting their chests and getting excited, but fortunately they seized the opportunity.

Although Yaya was precocious, she was too young and suddenly left her relatives and became silent.

Lin Yan rode a horse with him, and said as he walked: "Little guy, is it cold?" ”

It was the first time for her to bring such a young child, and she was always afraid that she would not be able to take care of it if she was a little negligent.

I heard that the little doll is very fragile, and she may lose her life if she gets sick. Now this ghost weather, adults can't stand it, how can a milk doll resist it.

Yaya was wrapped in a thick rabbit skin, wearing a hat, only revealing a pair of eyes, and looked up at Lin Yan from time to time, as if she was sure of something.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Yaya, my sister will take you to a new place, where there are many children to play with you, there are a lot of delicious food, you can eat whatever you want." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, when you get to the place, my sister will arrange everything for you. You have to learn your skills so that when you grow up, you can come back and help your family change. ”

Yaya's big eyes flashed with doubts, but she still nodded obediently, "Sister, do I have anything I want to eat?" ”

"Of course, you'll never go hungry again, sister does what she says."

Seeing that her little person was shivering from the cold, Lin Yan propped up the protective cover.

Along the way, the two took turns to take care of the little girl, and the rush was not so boring, walking for nearly a month, and finally rushed back to Sun City at the end of December.

Fortunately for Lin Yan, the little girl has always been very strong and came to Sun City without illness or disaster.

Sent Miyang away, she went home directly with the child.

When you walk to the gate, you can hear the excitement inside, and Lin Yan's sudden appearance surprised the family.

It was Gu Qing who reacted quickly and hurriedly let her into the house, and he personally went to help the bonus down from the room.

Lin Yan hugged Yaya, greeted the Gu family, and immediately smiled when he saw the bonus: "Auntie, I'm back." I'll bring you a surprise. ”

"This is Yaya, the little guy is very smart, well-behaved and obedient, Auntie, you must like it."

"Come, girl, call Grandma, this will be your home in the future."

After Hua Hong saw that her daughter was fine, her eyes were glued to Yaya, and at her age, the rarest thing was the little doll.

Since the two children of Gu Yi's family came, the family has been lively all of a sudden.

Now there is another girl, and Hua Hongle can't close her mouth, "Yaya, come, call Grandma, Grandma will bring you something delicious." ”

When Yaya first arrived, she was a little timid, hiding in Lin Yan's arms and secretly looking at people.

Lin Yan rubbed her little head, "A-Niang, let's sit down and talk first, Yaya is young, and she was a little scared when she first came, just wait until she is ready." ”

She turned her head to look at Gu Qing, "When did you always get here, what do you think, is there anything you don't fit into?" ”

Gu Qing and his daughter-in-law smiled with wrinkles on their faces, they were younger than Hua Bonus next year, but they looked older than her.
