Then I found a little boy in the corner. All the adults in the family were dead, and there was only one child left. If I didn't care about him, it would be hard to live with both emotionally and rationally, right?
But who will take care of it?
Who doesn't know that this boy's mother abandoned him and ran away, and who doesn't know who the child's father is and who will take care of him?
Originally, the people in this village were extremely poor, and how could they have enough food to raise other people's children? It was not just a matter of sticking a pair of chopsticks, not to mention that the child was not lovable, and his eyes were very scary!
Everyone tried to push it away, but no one was willing to raise it, not even the village chief.
This was not a child from Xie's village in the first place. He came to the village with that unknown woman. Now that woman ran away and left this child here, it was like leaving a hot potato.
"Let my brother live with me, I will take good care of him."
Hearing the clear voice of a girl, everyone turned their heads in confusion, it was a silly girl.
"Grandpa, the village chief, my brother and I used to have the best time. My mother-in-law is no longer around, so she lets me live with my brother. We can take care of each other."
Taoyao's body was only ten years old at the moment, and she had to raise her head to see the adults when she spoke.
"Why aren't you stupid? Are you still talking so much?"
The village chief was a little surprised. The pink and cute little girl in front of him was the silly girl from before?
The silly girl seemed to be a fool when she was picked up by her blind mother-in-law. She couldn't even speak clearly at such an old age, and her face was often covered with mud and snot.
I didn’t expect it to look so cute now that it’s clean.
The blind mother-in-law died half a month ago, and she never saw the silly girl coming out again. She thought she would starve to death at home, but she became smarter.
"Yes," Tao Yao nodded obediently, "I am no longer stupid after my mother-in-law left. My mother-in-law also liked my brother very much in the past. Now let me take care of my brother!"
Tao Yao turned her head to look at the boy squatting in the corner. Fortunately, she was here now. If the incident had gone according to the original development, something big would have happened.
I glanced inside the house through the window, and it was so miserable. Two people slashed at each other with knives. Most of their necks were cut off, and blood flowed all over the floor.
"Yes, of course," the village chief nodded with satisfaction, "You two siblings, just take care of each other, and we'll leave first."
A large group of people left quickly, fearing that the silly girl would regret it and give them this hot potato again.
Anyway, what happens to these two children is none of their business. They can live or die, so just leave it to fate.
"Look, I didn't lie to you. The thing I gave you can indeed kill people, and it kills people without leaving any trace. No one will suspect you."
Taoyao walked over and knelt down. She stared at the boy's eyes carefully. There was no fear in those eyes, only indifference.
Alas, I didn't expect that the big devil would be like this when he was a child, with his eyes always as cold as ice.
"Let's go to my house."
Taoyao took his little hand and walked towards the south of the village. She felt that the little hand was trying to break away, so she squeezed it tighter.
The house Tao Yao lived in was not far away. From a distance, it looked dilapidated and dirty. After all, one of the previous owners who lived here was blind and the other was stupid. How could it be expected to be clean?
After walking more than half of the way, Taoyao looked back. Some villagers covered their mouths and noses with towels and dragged out the corpses and burned them. No one should dare to enter that house again in a short time.
She was still too kind. Letting them hack each other to death was better than being chopped up alive by the big devil, right?
She glanced down again and saw that the child was still holding hands and following her obediently, and couldn't help but smile.
Today’s children are still very cute.
"May I have your name?"
Taoyao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked knowingly.
"no name."
He lowered his head and replied dully, that woman never gave him a name, and she never cared about him after coming to this village.
"Don't name yourself Ni Ni. Change the name to Yan. It means that you will be calm, peaceful and carefree by my side for the rest of your life."
Thinking of such tragic memories, Taoyao couldn't help but sigh. Even though she had lived for thousands of years and experienced the world, she had to sigh that God's malice towards him was really too great.
In the original world, he committed suicide. He slapped his Tianling Cap with a palm and even his skull was broken. He was so eager to end his life.
"ah?"
He stared at Taoyao blankly, not understanding what was being said. No one had ever taught him to write or read a book, so he didn't know how to write those words.
But after picking a name, he also had to have a surname. He didn't want to take that man's surname at all.
I also wonder how the silly girl became so smart and powerful. She clearly needed his protection before, but now she is more powerful than him.
"My name is Lu Chen."
Tao Yao meant something. The surname Shen was his mother's surname, and it was also the surname he gave himself in the original world.
"Um."
Lu Chen accepted the name for no other reason than that it sounded nice.
It has nothing to do with that woman.
"Let's go quickly. I'm already hungry after this whole meal. Go back and eat!"
Thinking of the delicious food at home, Taoyao couldn't wait. These mortals didn't have delicious food, but she did!
Don't blame her for not sharing it, it really doesn't make any sense. After the blind mother-in-law died, the silly girl was left alone in the house, starving to death.
His little body was rotten and smelly before he was discovered. After the discovery, the villagers just buried him hastily, as if he had never been there before.
Lu Chen didn't want to say anything that would hurt him. What good food could he have at home?
Even when the adults are around, he can only go hungry. What's more, if there are only two children in the future, will they starve to death?
Lu Chen went to the house of his former blind mother-in-law with a heavy heart, but as soon as he entered, his eyes widened in surprise.
The outside of this house is really different from the inside!
It was obvious that it was still so shabby outside just now, but why was it so clean and bright once inside?
There were also small chairs and tables. The small tables were filled with all kinds of fruits, some of which he had never seen before.
After entering the innermost room, it was even more shocking. The bed was covered with fluffy blankets. You can imagine how warm and comfortable it would be to sleep on it.
There is also a small table and chairs next to the bed. There are also cakes on the table, and you can smell the sweet smell.
"Just tell me it would be fun to live with me!"
Tao Yao let go of Shen Yan's hand, threw herself onto the bed and rolled around. The blanket was thick and soft, making rolling around very comfortable.
In the past, both worlds lived in splendid palaces, with the best food and clothing.
When she opened her eyes that day, a strange stench hit her nostrils. It was the smell of human excrement and various rotten foods.
After all, the silly girl is a fool. How can she know how to clean things up? After the blind mother-in-law who took care of her died, she was left to fend for herself until the smelly body was discovered.
It's really pitiful that this rich lady fell into the mud.
At that time, she really couldn't stand it for a moment, so she waved her hand and made the room look the way she wanted.
If the children were not afraid of being too surprised, they would really want to look like a palace, and then use pearls to transform into a few servants, how comfortable that would be!
"I don't remember it being like this before."
Lu Chen blinked and ran to the bed to touch the blanket. It felt so warm and soft that he believed that the blanket really existed.
Looking at everything in this room, whether it's the sweet pastries or the big wardrobe filled with all kinds of clothes, I feel so unreal!
Obviously he had been here several times before and it was always dirty and smelly. Many times he was kind enough to sweep away the dirty things.
"Now, you can have whatever you want. It will get cold soon. We will feel very warm when we sleep on the fluffy blanket!"
Tao Yao lay on the fluffy bed and squinted her eyes comfortably. The most important thing now was to keep the children fed and clothed.
She got up from the bed and pulled Lu Chen to eat the pastries on the table. These pastries were all conjured up by her in the palace, and ordinary people still couldn't eat them!
"You eat this."
Tao Yao picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Lu Chen's mouth. As soon as she finished eating, she immediately stuffed another piece into her mouth. She ate four or five pieces in a row before stopping.
"Have a drink of tea," Taoyao poured a large cup of tea into Lu Shen's little mouth.
Human cubs need to eat and drink more. If they are fed, clothed, clothed and drunk, they will not have so many worries and will grow up like normal children.
"I can't eat any more."
Lu Chen licked the crumbs around his mouth vigorously. These pastries were so sweet. He really wanted to eat them all, but his stomach was too small to hold them.
Feeling aggrieved, he stretched out his little hand and rubbed his stomach. He was often hungry and suddenly ate so much, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter. There are so many delicious foods every day. Just tell my sister what you want to eat and she will give it to you!"
Taoyao jumped down from the chair and gently rubbed Lu Chen's stomach. After only two or three rubs, he felt that his stomach no longer hurt.
"You are not a silly girl. A silly girl is not as powerful as you. She can't even speak clearly!"
Lu Chen stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes. From the moment he appeared in the kitchen, he felt a little strange. The silly girl was not so pretty or powerful.
"Huh?" Taoyao snorted and pulled Lu Shen's little face hard. The other party wanted to resist, but was suppressed and unable to move.
There is no way, he is still too young and weak now.
"You just finished eating my food, and you turn your back on me so quickly. You really are a big devil!"
Taoyao puffed up her face and huffed.
"Why are you helping me? If you are discovered, something will happen to you." Lu Chen wiped the debris from his face.
"Because I am your sister!"
Tao Yao took it for granted that Silly Girl and Lu Chen were indeed related by blood and were half-siblings.
"You are only a little older than me." Lu Chen stared at Taoyao.
"Have you forgotten that you helped me before?"
Although the silly girl is a fool, she is still a little girl. There are too many bachelors in this village, and over time some people will become ill.
Fortunately, the little Lu Chen saw it, and he scratched, bit, and scratched the man hard before driving the man away. As expected, when he went back, he was beaten again, but he did not regret helping the silly girl.
"Okay," Taoyao rubbed Lu Shen's head, "those two people are dead, and no one will doubt us. From now on, it will be just the two of us living together, and I will let you stay with me forever."
Taoyao smiled happily. This soul with love was so delicious. She really wanted to take in all the beautiful souls in the world.
"Be with you forever?"
Lu Chen didn't know what this meant at this time, but he realized later that this was simply what he wanted.
