Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Meng Yan was helpless, and he secretly blamed the old man: "Damn, didn't I give you the silver to rest for a few days?" Why did you come back and sell it so quickly? It's a real headache for me. ”

Meng Yan pretended to be amiable and said to the girl, "Honey, how old are you this year?" ”

The girl looked puzzled: "Brother, didn't I tell you?" I'm ten years old and have grown up. ”

Meng slapped his thigh, almost startling the girl: "Yes, you are already an adult." Rock sugar gourd is a child's food, since our Xuan'er has grown up, shouldn't she eat this anymore? Hey, hey, hey. ”

Under the girl's gaze, Meng Kang forced a smile, and finally felt a trace of shame, and did not dare to look at the girl again.

"Brother," the girl's calm voice made Meng Yan's heart tremble, "Are you not keeping your promises?" ”

Meng retorted and stopped, and said hesitantly: "No, of course not. This one...... Actually......"

The girl suddenly smiled: "Forget it, brother, let's go." ”

Meng looked at the girl in disbelief: "Let's go? You...... Don't you want that anymore? Meng was secretly surprised that he was still taking care of these, which was really ridiculous.

The girl said lightly: "Brother, didn't you already say it? I've grown up and shouldn't have eaten this anymore. ”

Meng Yan looked at Xuan'er, the tranquility on her face caused ripples in his heart, and the emotion was difficult to contain, he bent his knees and hugged the little girl tightly.

Xuan'er, I'm sorry...... Is it my brother who broke his promise,...... My brother is really incompetent, the money was stolen by a hateful thief, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy rock sugar gourds for you to enjoy this time, don't blame my brother...... My brother will definitely be full of rock sugar gourds in the future, so that you can eat endlessly...... Meng Yan closed his eyes and whispered softly in Xuan'er's ear.

The girl in his arms trembled slightly, froze in place, and after a while, Meng Yan clearly felt the girl's tears dripping on his shoulder.

Don't cry, okay? When Meng is busy, this time, I will definitely keep my promise, and you must not be sad.

The girl gently wiped away the tears, and a bright smile bloomed on her ugly face: Thank you, brother, then, please remember, don't forget.

I was going to go to the hotel to pay off the debt, but unexpectedly I owed a huge amount of money again, Meng sighed in her heart, fortunately the girl stopped crying, but is it not very convenient to walk forward like this? At this moment, the girl grabbed his hand tightly, and her body was quite embarrassed by Meng Yan.

The girl stumbled and almost fell, Meng stopped and asked with concern: What happened? Tired?

The girl shook her head: It's okay, it's just a momentary accident, and she doesn't feel tired.

Meng squatted down, ignoring the girl's wincing, and examined her feet, which were already faintly swollen.

Meng Yan felt deeply guilty: It was so inconsiderate, I ran so far with her just now, I was naturally fine, but she was just a little girl who had just turned ten years old, how could she bear it?

Suddenly, Meng Yan remembered the past with the girl, and his heart suddenly felt inspired.

Xuan'er, are you willing to let your brother carry you? Meng said against the girl.

Carry me? The girl's eyes fell on Meng Yan's back, and a trace of blush welled up at some point, okay, brother.

Okay, you wait a minute. Meng Kang left the dazed girl in place, walked to a vendor in front of her, and said sincerely: Big brother, please forgive me for the interruption, I have lost all my relatives in the next misfortune, and now I only have one sister who depends on each other for my life, so I have to wander around. Now my sister's feet are so swollen that she's there...... Can you lend me an empty basket so I can carry her? Indeed, it was a misfortune for me to come to this world, and I did not lie, Meng Yan thought silently in his heart.

The vendor glanced at the little girl standing not far away, and sympathy welled up in his heart: Poor child, although you look ugly, the future is full of hardships, and your burden is really not light...... Take these empty baskets as you like, and run out of them anyway, so don't keep them.

Meng Yan secretly rejoiced in his heart, it is precisely because of this that I came to ask you, otherwise if I ran to ask for the rock sugar gourd just now, why didn't I show my feet?

Meng Yan picked a large basket, tied the rope, brought it to the girl, gently put down the basket and said, "Please come in."

The girl was surprised: It turns out that my brother wants to carry me like this. Submissively got into the basket and squatted inside, slightly suffocating.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Meng Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: How do you think I should carry you? What do you think? Want to take advantage of me? After saying that, I felt that it was inappropriate, how could I say such obscene things in front of a little girl.

The girl pursed her lips and did not reply.
