Chapter 13: Chapter 013

"I'm going to see Xiuxiu." He walked to the jar, took three wild eggs from it and put them in his arms, then left without looking back.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Ye Li was walking alone on the empty path, but he was a little scared and unconsciously quickened his pace.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Li finally arrived at the place Lin Xiao mentioned.

Looking at the half-collapsed thatched hut in front of him, Ye Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Xiuxiu's place was not as good as hers.

"Xiuxiu? Xiuxiu?" Ye Li whispered as he pushed the fence and walked into the yard.

After walking a few steps, I saw someone coming out of the thatched hut, limping and seeing that it was Xiuxiu.

"Who?" Xiuxiu asked warily.

Ye Li: "I, Miss Lin."

Hearing that it was her Xiuxiu, she relaxed, "Miss Lin? Why are you here?"

At this time Ye Li had already walked up to Xiuxiu, and through the moonlight she could still clearly see the bruises on her face.

"I'm not worried about you, so come and have a look."

Xiuxiu looked up at her and saw that her eyes were full of sincerity, so she felt relieved, and said in a low voice: "Miss Lin, let's go into the room and talk!"

Their house is just separated from her grandma's house by a wall. If someone over there hears about it, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause.

Ye Li nodded and followed Xiuxiu into the house, because half of the thatched hut had collapsed, and it was dark as soon as he entered the house. Fortunately, there was nothing in the house, so he would not be tripped over.

Xiuxiu seemed to be aware of her embarrassment, she paused, and then whispered: "Ms. Lin, please wait first." After speaking, she walked to the side in the dark.

After a while, there was a dim light in the room.

Ye Li took a look and saw that Xiuxiu was holding a broken oil lamp in his hand, there was only a little oil in it and he didn't know how long it would last.

The most surprising thing was that there was a child less than two years old in this small broken room, who was sitting on a broken mat and looking at her curiously.

"This...is this?" Ye Li was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

Xiuxiu put the oil lamp aside, and replied numbly, "This is my younger brother."

Ye Li looked around and saw that there were only the two of them in the room, and asked cautiously, "Where are your parents?"

Xiuxiu: "Dead."

"Then do you have any other relatives?" Ye Li continued to ask unwillingly.

After hearing this, Xiuxiu showed a trace of sarcasm, "What's the difference between yes and no!"

Ye Li immediately understood that not everyone has kind hearts.

At this time, Xiuxiu had already sat on the mat, and stretched out her hand to hold the little boy tightly in her arms.

The little boy was as thin and skinny as he was, like an African refugee.

"how old is he?"

Xiuxiu: "Three years old."

Ye Li was silent for a long time after listening, and then remembered the purpose of this trip, took out a wild egg from his bosom and handed it over, "I used this to put your face on."

Seeing the wild egg in Ye Li's hand, Xiuxiu raised her head suddenly, and looked at her in disbelief.

Ye Li sighed helplessly and stuffed the wild egg into her hand, "You put it on your face first, and then eat it." He stretched out his hand to hug the little boy.

"Your brother, I will take care of you first."

The little boy was very obedient and let Ye Li hug him without struggling at all.

Ye Li looked at the silly Xiuxiu and the broken oil lamp that was about to burn out, and said helplessly, "Blow up the lamp!"

"I'll take your brother to the yard for a walk."

When Xiuxiu heard that she was going outside, she immediately became vigilant, "Don't...don't go." If others found out that someone was giving her something, it would hurt Mrs. Lin.

Although Ye Li was puzzled, seeing Xiuxiu's face as if she was facing a formidable enemy, she didn't say anything.

Carrying the little boy to the door, Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, got up and blew out the oil lamp.

He took the wild egg and rolled it on his face twice without peeling it. After rolling, he peeled off the skin and limped to Ye Li.

Raising the wild egg in her hand, she coaxed softly to the little boy in her arms: "Xiaomu, this is an egg, try it."

The little boy looked at Xiuxiu curiously with wide eyes, and waited for a while before opening his mouth to bite.

Ye Li is tall, holding Xiaomu and tilting his body slightly so that Xiuxiu can successfully feed Xiaomu. Seeing that Xiuxiu has finished feeding two, she has to feed the third one.

Ye Li hurriedly stopped her, "Xiuxiu, if you eat too much of this food, it's easy to accumulate food, so eat this last one yourself!"

Xiuxiu held the egg and looked up at Ye Li, hesitated for a while before saying: "Then save it for Xiaomu to eat tomorrow!" After speaking, she carefully put it into the lapel of her chest.

Ye Li's eyes darkened and a hint of distress flashed, obviously he was not a few years older than Xiao Mu, but he always thought of his younger brother.

After helping Xiuxiu to feed Xiaomu with water, Ye Li was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, if you need anything, you can come to my house to find me."

Xiuxiu was silent for a while, then nodded, and when she was about to go out, she suddenly whispered: "Miss Lin, thank you."

Ye Li turned around and showed a gentle smile at her, and then left. On the way back, Ye Li's mood fell to the bottom.

As soon as he got home, Lin Xiao saw that something was wrong with her, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Li hung his head and replied weakly: "It's okay."

"What are you doing?" Ye Li looked at the big piece of wood in Lin Xiao's hand and asked suspiciously.

Lin Xiao: "Don't you want a table?"

Ye Li nodded without interest, then entered the room listlessly, and Lin Xiao was stunned to see it.

Ever since she was beaten stupidly, Lin Xiao hadn't seen her so negative. Lin Xiao wanted to ask, but gave up after thinking about it, and got busy on his own.

Lin Xiao didn't stop until it was completely dark and the moon hid in the clouds. Thinking of Ye Li's appearance just after taking a shower in the afternoon, Lin Xiao suddenly felt hot.

Looking at the pitch-black room, Lin Xiao hesitated a little, and soon climbed over the wall and left the yard.

Ye Li lay lifeless on the quilt, not even noticing Lin Xiao's departure.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiao came back wet all over, and Ye Li only then noticed the movement.

Standing up and looking at Lin Xiao, he saw that there was moisture all over his body and asked suspiciously: "What? Is it raining outside?"

Seeing her confused look, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth angrily, "No."

Ye Li: "Then why are you so wet?"

Lin Xiao: "I can't take a shower." He walked to Ye Li's side, picked up his bag, and walked out.

When he came back, he had changed into dry clothes, but his hair was still slightly wet.

Ye Li looked at the person lying beside him, and couldn't help poking him.

"Lin Xiao?"

Lin Xiao's anger that had just gone down was poked by her soft little hand, and all of it surged up again.

"what?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't want to talk to him very much, Ye Li couldn't help leaning towards him again.

"I have something to ask you."
