Chapter Thirty-Eight: Xiaoxiao!
"Xiaoxiao, why are you alone in this Blood Demon Wasteland, parents?"
When Ye Chengwei asked Xiaoxiao's parents, Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly turned red, sobbing, and said in a choked voice.
"Xiaoxiao's parents don't want Xiaoxiao anymore, Xiaoxiao has never seen them. ”
The seven or eight-year-old girl lowered her head, blinked her eyes, tears rolled down suddenly, her dirty face was covered with tears, and she raised her thin arm to wipe her tears.
It's unimaginable that such a small little girl can survive in this Blood Demon Wasteland by such a person, and now that she finally met Ye Chengwei, she naturally didn't want Ye Chengwei to leave.
"Xiaoxiao doesn't cry, my brother will accompany you, will my brother take Xiaoxiao wherever he goes in the future, okay?"
Ye Chengwei raised his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of Xiaoxiao's eyes, touched Xiaoxiao's head and said to her reassurance.
Xiaoxiao nodded, and the tears stopped.
"Let's go, big brother take Xiaoxiao to eat delicious food. ”
Ye Chengwei held Xiaoxiao's immature little hand, two figures, one big and one small, walking on the blood-colored wasteland like this.
"I'm homeless now, and I don't know where I'm going. Xiaoxiao is also alone, and Xiaoxiao and I have been a family since then. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Xiaoxiao may not know what family means, but from the moment Ye Chengwei brought her out of the Blood Demon Wasteland, she only knew that in this world, no one was more important than her eldest brother.
Two days later, two figures walked towards the town not far away in the setting sun, and by this time the sky had become dark, and the lights were lit up in front of them, and a town that did not look very big was only a short distance away.
Ye Chengwei walked in with Xiaoxiao only to find that this was just a small town located on the edge of the Blood Wasteland, and most of the people in the town had already fallen asleep at this time, with only a few lights flickering.
"Big brother, Xiaoxiao is so hungry. Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes wide and whispered.
"Brother, I'll take Xiaoxiao to eat delicious food now. Ye Chengwei smiled and touched Xiaoxiao's little head.
Ye Chengwei led Xiaoxiao into the town, and it took a lot of time to find a small shop that had not yet closed.
It was a very small shop, even a little shabby, tucked away in a small alley, with no more than seven or eight tables, and the tables and chairs were many years old.
Although the tables and chairs are old, they are very clean by the boss.
"Auntie has anything else to eat, hurry up and get some. ”
The shopkeeper of this small restaurant is an old man with gray hair, the years have left traces on her face mercilessly, her face is full of wrinkles, she looks weathered, her clothes are shabby, and she is full of patches, and it seems that life is not satisfactory.
Seeing Ye Chengwei's arrival, the old man was a little surprised, after all, it was difficult to see outsiders in such a poor town, let alone come to his own small restaurant to eat.
But the old man replied with a smile on his face.
"There was also a roast chicken, some vegetable soup and a couple of steamed buns. ”
Ye Chengwei found that Xiaoxiao's eyes were already hot when he heard this, and all the words flowed out, Ye Chengwei looked at Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly, and turned his head to the old woman.
"Bring them all, and see if there's anything else you can eat. ”
"Then you wait a moment, I'll go to the back kitchen and heat it up for you. ”
In such a small alley restaurant, the business is not much better, and it is already very good to be able to feed the family, and there is no extra money to hire a small worker, so I can only be busy by myself, and I am a shopkeeper and a small worker.
After a while, the fragrant roast chicken, hot vegetable soup and a few steamed buns were served, and Xiaoxiao Ha Lazi was almost flowing to the ground.
Ye Chengwei stretched out his hand and took a steamed bun, and then pushed all the meals in front of Xiaoxiao.
"Let's eat it. ”
Xiaoxiao didn't use dishes and chopsticks at all, two small hands, holding steamed buns in one hand and tearing off a fragrant chicken leg with the other, and began to gobble it up.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, eat slowly, drink soup, don't choke. Ye Chengwei poured a bowl of soup, pushed it in front of Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, big brother, why don't you eat it, big brother. Xiaoxiao's mouth was stuffed with food, and she said inarticulately.
"Xiaoxiao, eat quickly, my brother is not hungry. "Ye Chengwei was warmly entertained by Chiyun when he was in Chiyun Town, and he is a monk himself, so he doesn't have much demand for these foods, so he has already eaten a steamed bun.
"This ......"
The seven or eight-year-old girl in front of her devoured everything, and was eaten up by a large table of food in a moment, which made the old man feel a little surprised.
"Hiccup, sleepy. Xiaoxiao burped, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and fell asleep on the table not long after.
Seeing that Xiaoxiao had already swept away all the food on the table, and it was not too early to look outside the house, Ye Chengwei stood up, took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the old man.
"Shopkeeper, you're almost closed. ”
"Childe has given too much, this silver is about to be able to buy my small shop, if Childe has no change, it will be good to make up for it next time." The old man shook his head and did not take the money.
Ye Chengwei sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that although the old man's life was embarrassing, he had a noble character.
"Take it, it's nothing to me. ”
"It's too precious, I really can't take it, son, you better take it back" The old woman's hands were full of calluses, and she resolutely pushed the silver back.
At this moment, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy seemed to hear the voices of the two of them, and rushed in from outside the house without saying a word, and raised his fist to Ye Chengwei.
"Ah, you're bullying my grandma again!"
The young man's eyes were full of anger, and there were a little tears, and he punched simply, although there was no fluctuation of aura, but his fist was overwhelming.
"You all day long know that you come to eat and drink for nothing, bully my grandmother, and we are about to run out of food. I've fought with you ......."
"Little Tiger ......," shouted the old woman, trying to make the boy stop.
But the young man was already carried away by anger, and he couldn't listen to the old woman's words at all, and Ye Chengwei also understood the identity of the young man from the words of the two at this time.
The young man with this little tiger is the grandson of this white-haired old woman, and the grandparents and grandchildren rely on this small restaurant to make a living, but people often bully them when they see that the shopkeeper is an old woman, making their already difficult life even worse.
This young man must have regarded Ye Chengwei as a bully, so he was so angry.
Ye Chengwei didn't bother with the young man, as soon as he moved his steps, the young man fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly went up and helped the young man up, pinched her ears, and said in a somewhat harsh tone, "Go over and apologize to this son." ”
"Huh?!"
"Why don't you listen to grandma's words. The old woman's eyes widened.
The young man had no choice but to come to Ye Chengwei and apologize to Ye Chengwei.
"I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, you also care about your grandmother. Ye Chengwei waved his hand.
"Keep this money well, don't let your grandma work too hard. Ye Chengwei handed the silver in his hand to the young man.
The young man looked at the silver in his hand and was a little surprised, and seemed to understand that his grandmother was not arguing with Ye Chengwei just now, but was rejecting Ye Chengwei's kindness.
Ye Chengwei saw that the young man wanted to refuse, so he immediately spoke.
"I don't know if you have any extra rooms here, this silver will be used as food and room money, don't shirk it, otherwise I will be unhappy." ”
Seeing this, the old woman nodded helplessly to the young man, and the young man put away the silver.
