Jiang Lai took the dumpling from Li Xue's arms and placed it on the ground.
Although the one-year-old little one couldn't walk steadily and couldn't speak clearly, he still hugged Li Xue's calf tightly, with worry in his big eyes.
Jiang Lai stretched out his hand, gently hugged Li Xue, and then put Li Xue's head on his shoulder.
Li Xue, who originally felt helpless, now had a shoulder to rely on, so she pressed on to it, feeling a lot more submissive in her heart.
After she had cried enough and gradually calmed down, Jiang Lai let go of her.
"Take me to see the two new children you picked up."
Jiang Lai wanted to see if those two children were really worthy of being rescued as Li Xue said.
She also wanted to see how good Li Xue was at recognizing people.
There is a completely different difference between a considerate good man and a loving Mother.
There are three bedrooms on Li Xue's raft, one each for her and Turing. Now the two children are placed in the guest room.
Jiang Lai knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened.
The nine-year-old boy was very clean, his eyes were a little cautious, and there was some obvious defense.
Jiang Lai looked around the room. The boy's three-year-old sister was sitting on the bed, eagerly placing food on the table.
The food was obviously brought out by Li Xue, but it seemed that the two children didn't move at all.
"I heard that you were at sea for several days. How did you survive?"
Jiang Lai's tone was not gentle. She sat on her chair minding her own business, with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.
"Before my parents left, they put food in my backpack. It was enough for my sister and I to eat for at least a week."
The boy stood in front of Jiang Lai, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"What are you going to do next?"
The boy's tone didn't sound like a child's, so Jiang Lai put the question directly to him.
"I can work for you. I'm very strong and can do anything. I just need to give my sister and me a bite to eat."
It seemed that the boy had already made up his mind that he wanted to work on his own in exchange for food for himself and his sister.
To be fair, although the boy is nine years old, he looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and can indeed do some work.
but……
"Eating is the next best thing. You should know that in less than a week, the contract beast competition will be over. By then, if you and your sister don't have a contract beast, you will both die."
Jiang Lai asked another question.
"If, if you are willing to help me, I will work as a horse for you for the rest of my life. As long as I let my sister go when she grows up, I will stay and work by your side for the rest of my life."
The boy is not a fool, on the contrary he is very smart.
After being rescued by Li Xue and seeing Li Xue's wide and exquisite raft, I knew she must be an advanced player.
But the boy didn't ask Li Xue to do anything for him the moment before Jiang Lai brought up this topic.
Instead, he thought about the biggest bargaining chip he could bring out in his heart, and waited for his benefactor to mention this matter.
"What if we don't want to."
Jiang Lai's tone was very calm. The boy stared at Jiang Lai's eyes and couldn't tell what her emotions were.
"If you don't want to, then my sister and I will live out these last few days and then go find our parents to reunite.
Thank you Sister Xiaoxue for saving us. Before I die, I will leave everything in my backpack to Sister Xiaoxue. "
The boy lowered his eyes. He was also afraid of death, but he was too young now and could do nothing but accept his fate unconditionally.
Jiang Lai listened to the boy's words quietly, then turned to ask the little girl on the bed.
"Why don't you eat the food on the table?"
"My brother won't let me. Food is very precious. We can't just ask for other people's things."
The three-year-old girl said in a childish voice. Although her mouth was drooling, she still tried her best to behave upright.
"What are your and your sister's names?"
"My name is Shang Xiaohe, and my sister's name is Shang Xiaoxi."
A small river or a small stream originates from water, so how can it not find a way to survive in this sea?
"You did very well."
A smile finally appeared on Jiang Lai's serious face, and then he rubbed Xiaohe's head.
"How are these two children? Are they so sensible? It's heartbreaking."
Li Xue pulled Jiang Lai out of the room. Xiaohe said that he had experience taking care of his sister since childhood, and volunteered to help Li Xue bring the dumplings.
"Um."
Jiang Lai had to admit that this Xiaohe was very good both in terms of mind and character.
He is too young now. If he can live to grow up, he will definitely have a place in this sea in the future.
"So, that's why I can't bear to watch them die."
Li Xue's eyes were filled with sadness again.
"You take a rest first, and I'll go talk to Turing."
Jiang Lai patted Li Xue's hand and comforted him.
"Thank you, Lailai."
I don't know why, but Li Xue, who was originally confused and flustered, felt inexplicably calm after hearing Jiang Lai's words.
Jiang Lai always has such magic power that makes people feel infinitely safe around her.
After appeasing Li Xue, Jiang Lai knocked on Turing's door.
Turing's door was actually not closed tightly. Jiang Lai knocked and the door opened by itself.
Looking at Turing sitting on the chair, Jiang Lai suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
The last time Qi Jingxing and Bai Yin had an argument, she knocked on Bai Yin's door in the same way.
"Lailai."
Seeing Jiang Lai come in, Turing said hello.
Turing's condition seemed to be good, and Jiang Lai felt relieved.
Jiang Lai pulled up a chair and silently sat next to Turing, just sitting quietly without saying anything.
Silence filled the room.
I don't know how long it took, but Turing took the initiative to break the silence.
"I'm not very lucky. I was about to starve to death not long after I entered the game, but I managed to survive by buying some steamed buns from you.
Later, I finished eating the steamed buns and didn’t catch any food.
When it was the coldest day, I met Xiaoxue on the channel who wanted to make friends.
Not long after I chatted with her, she heard that I was cold and hungry, so Xiaoxue took the initiative to give me cold-proof supplies and food.
If it weren't for her, I would have died in the first crisis. "
Turing said these words to himself, as if he didn't need Jiang Lai's response, he just said it to himself.
"Later on, Xiaoxue and I chatted every day, and she always helped me. But I didn't want it, so she thought of ways to tease me.
Later, the map was opened, and I lived on Xiaoxue’s raft.
The food resources we caught were all shared together, except for the upgrade materials, Xiaoxue refused to take mine no matter what.
She said that even though I live with her, my raft needs to be upgraded.
If, if something happens to her one day, I won't have no way out. "
When Turing talked about this, tears fell down.
"She was always so kind and always thinking of others."
