"We plan to go to the Imperial Capital of Daxia and join our relatives. Then, thank you for your money. We will definitely find a way to make money and pay you back."
The boy carefully prepared his words, constantly thinking about the principles of life that his father once told him.
He also knew that now was an opportunity. The three people in front of him were obviously children of a wealthy family. If he could be friends with them, their future would be much easier.
Especially with two younger sisters and a baby in his arms, he might be able to survive on his own, but it would definitely be a very difficult life.
Xia Lingyin hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head.
"No, no, that money was given to you by my senior brother, and I have no intention of asking you to pay it back."
She looked at the two twin girls, who looked exactly the same. Their cheeks were red, as if they were caught in the cold. They both had braids and were wearing dirty red cotton-padded jackets of the same style. Their eyes were filled with tears. They got up very scared of Xia Lingyin and the other three who suddenly stopped them.
They hesitated to speak, but did not dare to speak. They just held the big boy's clothes tightly and hid behind him in fear.
Lin Lesheng thought for a while, took out some snacks hidden in his arms, and handed them to the big boy.
"You haven't eaten for a long time. I still have some food here. You should fill your stomach first."
Looking at their thin appearance, Xia Lingyin realized what they were doing and hurriedly took out all the snacks on her body.
"We are planning to go to the Imperial Capital of Daxia just like you, but I am going with my senior brother. He wants us to walk there by ourselves before arriving at the Imperial Capital."
She was unusually nervous.
"Since our destination is the same, why don't we go on the road together? We can also take care of each other."
Of course the big boy wanted it, and he nodded in agreement.
The three little ones breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, my name is Xia Lingyin, and these two are my junior brothers, named Lin Lesheng and Lin Haomiao respectively."
Xia Lingyin introduced herself to them with a smile.
The big boy nodded after hearing this.
"Hello! My name is He Xinglang, and the names of my two sisters are He Xiyue and He Ruoxue. As for the baby in our arms, we picked it up from the wild and we haven't named it yet."
He Xinglang tightened the baby in his arms, and saw that the baby in his arms seemed to be sleeping soundly, biting his fingers, chewing a few times occasionally, and making a few sleepy sounds.
Xia Lingyin's heart softened when she saw the cute baby. She carefully stretched out her finger and gently tapped the baby's round little face. Then the baby, perhaps feeling itchy from being touched, unconsciously stretched out its chubby little face. His little hands stopped him.
Several people were amused by the baby's behavior, and their relationship gradually eased, becoming somewhat close.
...
In the carriage not far away, Guan Xiaorou stared blankly at the baby who neither cried nor fussed, and fell into deep thought. This was completely different from the baby in his memory who cried every day!
Why are other people’s children so well-behaved?
She sighed and turned to look at Yang Yi.
"Have you ever taken care of children?"
Yang Yi was still observing the two twin girls, but was suddenly stunned when he was asked this question.
"No, no, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just think of your son. I would take care of him when he was born. He is almost annoying him to death. He cries every day."
She stretched out her fingers and pinched Yang Yi hard, as if she was venting her troubles back then.
"After all, he's still your brother, so there's no need to be so angry!"
He rubbed the area where he was pinched. It's so scary when a girl gets angry.
"I'm angry just because he's my brother. Look at other people's children, how cute they are when they don't cry or make noises."
She looked towards the back, where several children were, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Yang Yi was a little confused.
"Don't my wife and I have children in the future? Why do we make my sister like you so resentful?"
She rolled her eyes at him, then thought again, shook her head, and stopped talking.
Yang Yi looked at her and said.
"Those children probably won't be able to travel with a baby. How about we help take care of them for a while?"
She looked at her in surprise and suddenly became nervous.
"But we don't have any baby products here? How can we bring them? And what about milk? We don't have any either!"
"We don't have it, and they don't have it anymore. We can go to the next town in advance and buy more things."
Yang Yi looked at Guan Xiaorou who was silent and knew immediately that she had acquiesced. Then he opened the curtain and said to Shen Qingqiu who was holding the carriage.
"You go get that baby."
The carriage had a soundproof system, so she didn't hear the previous conversation at all. Shishi leaned on Guan Xiaorou and fell asleep deeply because she had eaten and drank enough.
Shen Qingqiu said hello and flew towards the children.
He explained the situation concisely, and although He Xinglang was a little reluctant to give up, he understood better than anyone else that it was the wisest choice to entrust the child to him at this time.
It was the twin sisters He Xiyue and He Ruoxue who were a little reluctant to hand him over to someone they didn't know. Their eyes were red and they held He Xinglang's hand tightly, signaling not to hand him over.
He Xinglang also felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that the baby had been taken care of by the two sisters since he was picked up. He had feelings for a long time, and it was very difficult at this time.
"We are not taking him away from you. We will get to the next town in advance, buy some baby supplies for him and hire a wet nurse to take care of him. This will be much better than taking care of him yourself."
He Xiyue raised her little head and spoke extremely quietly.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. We are not human traffickers. It will not benefit us to take this child away. On the contrary, having us take care of the child will also reduce your burden. And although several of my students will follow you, we will not allow them. There is too much direct help for you, you need to learn to survive on your own.”
Xia Lingyin looked at Shen Qingqiu and hesitated to speak, but in the end she did not open her mouth to refute. She knew this was what her senior brother meant.
After hearing this, the twin girls let go of the child and handed it to Shen Qingqiu, and then Shen Qingqiu flew back with the child in his arms.
Although she hugged her very gently, maybe he noticed something and suddenly burst into tears, waking up Shishi who was sleeping.
Guan Xiaorou took the child skillfully and coaxed her gently.
Shishi was also very happy to see it. She took out some toys from her collection and played with the baby. Those toys were all made by Yang Yi after imitating those on Blue Star.
They were all small toys like rattles, which Shishi liked very much, but she seldom played with them.
