For half a month, Bai Gu and the others almost didn't stop, and they were always on the road. In half a month, a few people not only walked out of the boundary of Velvet City, but also walked out of the boundary of Dingxian City, which borders Velvet City, and ran all the way to the east.

At this time, the place where several people settled was a small village called Ishidagou.

The village is not large, with only about 100 families, all of whom live on a few thin fields. If there is a big drought or heavy rains, and the year's harvest is ruined, the family will be hungry for a year.

It's really dependent on the sky to eat.

So Bai Gu and a few people settled here at noon, begged for a few bowls of water to drink, chatted with a few old people in the village for a while, and then prepared to set off again.

Other people's lives are already not easy, so don't cause some trouble to others.

Especially Bai Gu, he has experienced the life of eating the last meal without the next meal, and he can empathize with the villagers of Shitiangou very much.

Coupled with his ghostly amount of food, don't go to reduce the burden on other people's rice bowls, people don't need it.

When Bai Gu said goodbye to several old people, he secretly stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into their arms.

Wang Xizhou saw this scene in his eyes, and although he didn't speak, he was a little relieved in his heart.

Xiaobai's heart is still kind.

Bai Gu and the others got into the carriage, and when the coachman was about to spur the horse, a slightly tired voice came, calling out to Bai Gu and the others.

"Wait a minute!"

Wang Xizhou lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.

It was a middle-aged man who looked a little old, supporting an old man and walking towards the carriage, and a little girl about seven or eight years old walked in front of the two of them, already standing by the carriage.

The voice just now should have been shouted by the middle-aged man.

Wang Xizhou and Bai Gu glanced at each other, and then got out of the car together.

With a flower evil.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't get out of the car, and was still asleep in the car.

Wang Xizhou took a few quick steps forward and greeted the old man and the middle-aged man, "Uncle, is there anything else that hasn't been finished?" ”

The old man broke free of his son's rough hands, and a pair of dull and thin old hands wiped his body, and the old man dared to put his hand on Wang Xizhou's outstretched hand, "Mr. Wang, I, I have something to ask you." ”

"Abel, you say, if you can help, Xizhou will do your best."

The old man pointed to the little girl who had already walked to his side, "This is my granddaughter, the eldest of my family." In the past few years, the harvest in the house has not been very good, and several dolls have starved to death, and they really can't raise them. I feel sorry for the doll and don't want her to starve to death like her brothers and sisters. So Mr. Wang, I want you to take this doll with me, whether it's a maid or an animal, just reward her with a bite of food, I just want her to live. ”

Wang Xizhou looked embarrassed.

The old man's wrinkled old face wrinkled even more, "Mr. Wang, the eldest of my family has a small amount of food, and she can't eat much food, so she can only be given one meal a day." You should have raised a little chick, I beg you, give the doll a way to live! ”

Saying that, the old man was about to kneel down for Wang Xizhou.

Wang Xizhou hurriedly supported the old man, "Abel can't help it, this is really unbearable, Xizhou can't afford it." ”

The old man burst into tears, and his voice trembled, "Mr. Wang...... I ......"

Wang Xizhou raised his hand to interrupt the old man's words, his face full of apologies, "Uncle, it's not that Xizhou is unwilling. If Xizhou's trip is a one-person action, then you will definitely accept your eldest son without saying a word. But the leader of this trip is not Xizhou, and Xizhou is not good at making decisions on his own. ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, Xizhou will try his best to facilitate this." Wang Xizhou gently patted the back of the old man's hand and signaled him not to worry too much. Then Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu and asked softly: "Xiaobai, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The old man followed Wang Xizhou's line of sight and found that the so-called dominant person was a half-grown child, and he looked no taller than his granddaughter, and a sense of absurdity suddenly rose in his heart.

Although the old man and the middle-aged man didn't believe it very much, looking at Wang Xizhou's attitude, the one in front of him was not high...... Juvenile? Child? should be the dominant person in Wang Xizhou's mouth.

If you don't believe it, you have to believe it.

Bai Gu glanced at the little girl standing beside the old man, with her head down, and a pair of small hands constantly twisting the corners of her clothes, only to feel that the throat was extremely sour, and it was difficult to swallow even a mouthful of saliva.

Bai Gu's heart is complicated.

And this short silence made the hearts of the old man and the middle-aged man sink, and they thought that Bai Gu was unwilling to take in his own old man.

The middle-aged man immediately knelt down towards Bai Gu, ignoring the gravel and soil on the ground, and kowtowed to Bai Gu several times, knocking his forehead and ignoring it, his face was full of embarrassment, but his eyes were full of hope and begging, "Little brother, I beg you, send a kind heart to accept my family's eldest child." She is still young, and several of her brothers and sisters have starved to death, and my family can't starve another doll to death, otherwise everyone will collapse. Please, I please! ”

The middle-aged man, a crop man with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky all the year round, although he is black and thin, is also full of tendon meat. Faced with the difficult life of relying on the sky to eat, this man who had never said a word of bitterness shed tears at this time. Douda's tears mixed with the blood on his face fell to the ground, which was his shattered self-esteem and the way he paved for his children.

What parents can't do for the sake of their children?

Bai Gu licked his dry lips, reached out and pressed the middle-aged man's shoulder, stopping him from wanting to continue kowtowing, "Uncle, don't kowtow, get up." ”

The middle-aged man grabbed Bai Gu's hand with his backhand, and his tone was full of pleading, "Little brother, please, my doll is very well-behaved, very obedient, and won't talk nonsense and get into trouble!" She has a lot of strength, is very diligent, can work, and has no problem being a maid. She also eats very little, just give her one meal a day, you don't suffer. Please, give her a way to live, my whole family will thank you! ”

"Uncle, get up first, let's talk about this again. Otherwise, I'm gone. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly got up, for fear that if his movements were slow, the other party would not want his own old man, and he would lose his own old man's life.

Then he will not forgive himself if he really dies.

Bai Gu looked at the little girl who was still bowing her head and asked, "What's her name?" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and there was hope?

"My family has no culture, and the doll is small, so she doesn't have a big name, so I usually call her the old man." The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, what's your family name?"

"Dad, what's our last name?"

"Have you forgotten our family name? What the hell are you in charge! The old man reprimanded the middle-aged man, and then looked at Bai Gu, "Little brother, my family's surname is Du, Mu Tudu." ”

Bai Gu nodded, "Brother Wang, will you give me a name?" ”

Wang Xizhou felt a little inexplicable, "Name? ”

Bai Gu snorted.

The old man and the middle-aged man probably guessed Bai Gu's mind in their hearts, and immediately looked at Wang Xizhou together, expecting two weather-beaten faces to be written.

Wang Xizhou realized it later, and he probably knew Bai Gu's plan, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Xizhou will not trespass, the name is still Xiaobai, you will take it, and Xizhou will help modify it." ”

Bai Gu was also not polite, and immediately replied: "It's called Du Xinluo, the heart of the heart, the green pothos." ”

Wang Xizhou's mind was racing, and he soon had a better idea, "Xizhou's suggestion is to call Du Qin, the Qin of Dongxue Qinxiang, how about it?" ”

"It's a good name." Bai Gu thought for a while, walked up to the little girl, propped his hands on his knees, and bent down slightly, "Little sister, two names, which one do you want?" It's a free gift. ”

The little girl raised her head, first looked at her grandfather and father, and after getting the affirmation of the two, she dared to look at Bai Gu timidly, and whispered: "I, I can't read." ”

"It's okay, you just listen to it, which name do you think is good?" Bai Gu showed a smile.

Because Bai Gu had been malnourished for a long time, his complexion and complexion were not morbidly sallow and pale. And Bai Gu's own appearance is also very ordinary, his personality is also obedient and fickle, and he is standing in the backlight, and now he smiles like this, but he has a feeling of gloom and compassion.

The little girl was so frightened that she took two steps back, but she still endured the fear in her heart and said in a subtle, trembling voice: "Du ...... Du Xinluo, I ...... I think this sounds good. ”

Bai Gu was a little helpless by the little girl's reaction.

Do you look so stumbling?

can scare others.

But the little girl chose her own name, and Bai Gu was still very happy.

Bai Gu smiled at Wang Xizhou, "Brother Wang, teach one more child, no problem, right?" ”

Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "It's an honor." ”

Bai Gu straightened up and looked at the old man and the middle-aged man, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xinluo like my own sister." I may not always have money on me, but as long as I have a bite to eat, Xinluo will not be hungry. ”

The old man had tears in his eyes, and he choked up and couldn't speak.

The middle-aged man sniffed, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to Bai Gu and Wang Xizhou a few times, making the forehead that had just bled even more cracked, and the blood flowed more, "Thank you two, thank you two!" ”

Wang Xizhou helped the middle-aged man up, and wiped his hand on the middle-aged man's forehead with white light, and the latter's forehead was immediately intact. If it weren't for the fact that there were still undried blood stains on the middle-aged man's face, he wouldn't have seen that the middle-aged man had broken his head just now.

When the old man and the middle-aged man saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned in place.

Wang Xizhou stretched out his hand and showed a warm smile, "Xinluo, say goodbye to grandpa and daddy, let's go." ”

Although the little girl was young, she also knew that her parents were kneeling and crying just now, in order to ask the two in front of her for something.

It is to reduce the burden on the family and to seek a way to live for yourself.

You have to be obedient and can't make trouble for your grandfather and father.

The little girl sniffed, tears swirling in her eyes, and she tried not to let the tears fall, but she was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she had to stretch out her hand and wave it as a farewell to her family.

Wang Xizhou took the little girl's hand, said goodbye to the old man and the middle-aged man, and slowly walked to the carriage.

After the carriage was far away, the two people standing in place woke up like a dream and shouted, "These people are all immortals!" The old man will not die! ”

"As long as you have a way to live, you can do it if you have a way to live!"
