Xie Jingqiong frowned slightly.

As if reflexively, she immediately took out a military dagger from the space, held it tightly in her hand, and then quietly approached the direction from which the voice came.

"Is this here??"

The suspicious sound just now came from outside the courtyard gate.

She hesitated, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and in the night, like an alert leopard, gently put her hand on the wooden courtyard door.

"Squeak-" With the sound of the door opening, the sound of squirming suddenly stopped, and Xie Jingqiong was also vigilant.

She felt that if she had been in ancient times, she might be able to be a very good assassin, not because she was not talented, but because she had a space to carry around.

You can enter the space at any time, hide in the space, and then quietly manipulate the space to quietly approach each other, which is impossible to think of.

But after the door opened, Xie Jingqiong was stunned, because the conspiracy theories she had made up before were completely useless.

It's not a thief, it's not that anyone has ulterior motives, it's purely because - "Comrade, are you okay?? ”

The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she looked speechlessly at the little girl leaning under a big tree outside her yard, holding a tattered little bag, her hair was messy like straw, and there were a few old newspapers pasted on her body.

said that she was a "little" girl, because the other party was really not old, she looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and her appearance was quite standard, but she was probably too thin, and her complexion was not good.

The other party seemed a little embarrassed, as if he didn't expect that someone would suddenly come out in the middle of the night.

She glanced at Xie Jingqiong timidly, and then looked cramped and uneasy, got up and grabbed her hair indiscriminately.

"That—comrade? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

She lowered her head stiffly, and then saw the tattered burden at her feet, and quickly picked it up and hugged it tightly in her arms, and she whispered, "I'll go, I'll go." ”

With that, she began to retreat.

Xie Jingqiong: "........."

He looked at the man for a long time, watched it carefully for a few seconds, and then sighed lightly, turned sideways, and gave way to the door: "Come in first." ”

The girl was stunned: "?? ”

looked at Xie Jingqiong with a blank face, her face full of disbelief.

Xie Jingqiong couldn't help but be speechless: "I see that you seem to have encountered some kind of trouble, it's so late, and it's not safe for you to be a girl outside." ”

She couldn't help but rub her temples.

How to say that? It is said that you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, but Xie Jingqiong always feels that there are not no bad people in this world, but there are also many good people.

It's like Lao Jiang's house.

At the beginning, he was just a little fool, who disliked him when he saw him, but he was stunned to protect Lao Jiang's family like a baby pimple.

Of course, if this matter is pursued further, it can be said that Old Man Xie is too good a person, the old man used to be innumerably gracious, and the Lao Jiang family took care of Xie Jingqiong because he had a conscience, gratitude, etc., so he took care of Xie Jingqiong so much.

But generally speaking, isn't it because of Old Man Xie's kindness that he has this good fate?

Otherwise, if Grandpa Xie is really a big traitor, it is estimated that with the temperament of the Lao Jiang family, he will not go to the Xie family.

In short, Xie Jingqiong feels that compassion is definitely a bit of a personal thing, but in later generations, the Internet was developed, and many children could not even "accurately" define what a "virgin" was.

It seems that being a human being can only blindly accept the benefits that others give you, and once you are kind to others, you are a "virgin", and the derogatory meaning of this word is really too widespread.

But it doesn't matter, Xie Jingqiong feels that it's good to be herself, who hasn't had a difficult time, and besides, this girl outside - uh, looks really miserable.

…………

This person's name is Liu Xiu, he is only seventeen this year, and at first glance he knows that he is from a poor background, the old clothes, old pants, tattered, patches and patches, and there are patches of black blue on his face, and he is called to be beaten at a glance.

And the injury is quite serious, it is estimated that it has been several days, and the bruise is a little scary.

Xie Jingqiong felt that in the middle of the night, if there was a way, it was impossible for a girl to sleep alone on the street.

Let's not talk about whether the public security is good or not, whether the danger is dangerous or not, just that there is no monitoring in these years, if you really meet someone with a bad mind, you may not be ruined in this life, not to mention that Xie Jingqiong prides herself on seeing people and has a bit of vision.

Clear eyes are upright, they all say that eyes are the window of the soul, and Liu Xiu, this girl does not look outstanding at first glance, at most she can only be regarded as beautiful, but those eyes are as bright as autumn water, very clean and clear.

It was as if there was nothing clearer in the world than this, without the slightest trace of dirt.

Liu Xiu looked at Xie Jingqiong nervously.

When she was led into the kitchen by Xie Jingqiong, she bit her chapped and pale lips because of thirst, and quietly said with red eyes, "Sister, thank you." ”

Xie Jingqiong: "You're welcome. ”

In fact, she is not much older than Liu Xiu, and she is considered a peer.

turned around and poured a glass of water for Liu Xiu, just as the steamed pastries before were already out of the pot, sugar triangles, bean paste buns, and some small pastries, she took them out one by one with chopsticks and put them in a big basin.

Soon he walked towards Liu Xiu with a plate of bean paste buns, "You eat first, wash your face after eating, it just so happens that there is an empty room at home, I'll help you clean up later." ”

She didn't ask Liu Xiu why she was living on the streets, for her, this was just a handy hand, it was estimated that it was just a one-sided relationship, maybe Liu Xiu would leave after today, and she would never see each other again for the rest of her life, let alone have any intersections.

The world is big, the crowds are bustling, there are many living beings, just be yourself, do everything as you like, just act according to your heart, anyway, she is worthy of herself, and she doesn't feel that she has done anything wrong, so that's fine.

And Liu Xiu held the plate of bean paste buns, looked at Xie Jingqiong in amazement for a long time, and her eyes turned red for a while, and she forcibly endured the sourness between her noses.

In the blink of an eye, the next day.

…………

"Sister-in-law, did you see the red head rope I put on the counter yesterday?"

Early in the morning, the third daughter-in-law, Xu Liying, yawned and walked out of the door.

She has always had short hair, and she feels that it is inconvenient to have long hair, and it is troublesome to wash it, but recently her bangs have been a little long, so she plans to tie her bangs with a rubber band so as not to block her eyes.

"Here," Xie Jingqiong took a rubber band out.

Xu Liying rubbed her eyes, and was about to turn around and go out, when she was suddenly stunned: "-Sister-in-law? ”

She pointed suspiciously to the corner of the yard where she was sweeping the floor with a big broom.

"-This is?"

Xie Jingqiong raised her eyebrows, and then was a little speechless.

She got up a little earlier than Yingying today, and there were trees planted in the yard, so she could see the leaves all over the yard every morning, but as soon as she went out today, she saw Liu Xiu sweeping the yard clean.
