Xiao Ming had no choice but to sit up, and Jiang Xiangyuan next to her also stood up, her eyes half-closed, obviously she was also woken up.
"Who is this? He stayed up most of the night, crying and howling." Jiang Xiangyuan complained.
Disturb her dreams, beg for a beating!
Jiang Xiangyuan complained and wiped her eyes with her hands. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xiao Ming was putting on clothes. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sister Ming, what are you doing wearing clothes?"
"I'm going out for a moment. I just have a bunch of candied haws on a stick here to send to him." Xiao Ming put on her clothes and said, holding up a bunch of candied haws on the table, which she had always kept in the space.
Jiang Xiangyuan's eyes widened when she looked at the bunch of candied haws, and she asked in shock: "Where did you get the candied haws in the middle of the night?"
"Yu'er secretly gave it to me when I left today." Xiao Ming explained that she had no choice but to move Xiao Yu out as a shield.
"Oh." Jiang Xiangyuan had no doubt that she had it. Xiao Yu often ate candied haws at home, so it was normal that he gave it to her.
"Then let me go with you." After saying that, Jiang Xiangyuan got out of bed and put on her clothes, while Li'er, who was sleeping on the ground, was still sleeping soundly, unaware of the chaos outside.
When the two of them came to the next room together, Xiao Ming was startled by the voice of the person opening the door opposite.
"Miss Xiao, why are you here?" The man who opened the door was only a young man in his twenties. He looked at Xiao Ming outside the door with a look of surprise and a smile on his face.
Xiao Ming frowned, she seemed to have seen this person before.
"Fourth brother, this is Miss Xiao." The man shouted into the room.
Fourth brother! !
Only then did Xiao Ming remember that, by the way, this man was Xia Xiaoba's brother, and his name seemed to be Xia San, but why did he appear here.
Xiao Ming was puzzled.
Looking at the man in front of her, Xiao Ming sighed, it was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
The person in front of me was not Shi Tingyu.
"Brother Shi." Xiao Ming and his wife gave a blessing ceremony.
"Miss Xiao, Miss Jiang." Shi Tingyu nodded, wondering why the two of them appeared here.
There was not only him in the house, but also six Xia Xiaoba's cousins, including Xia San, whom Xiao Ming had met in Pingcheng. Among them, Xia Er and Xia Si were teasing the little boy in the middle with toys in their hands. The culprit who makes noise that disturbs people's sleep.
The little boy was about the same size and build as Xiao Yu, but he was thin. The little boy cried so hard that he didn't ask for candy and was very sad.
This little boy was very persistent and would not give up for his goal. He kept crying and refused to listen to advice, which broke the hearts of Shi Tingyu and all the Xia family children.
Xiao Ming squatted next to the little boy, handed the candied haws to him, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I have some candies here, please don't cry."
When the little boy saw the candy, he didn't remember crying. He snatched it and put it in his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he started smiling. He was so happy that the candy fell on his clothes without even realizing it.
"There is candy, eat candy." The little boy was very happy, and he didn't forget to take it out of his mouth and pass it to Xia Er here, meaning that Xia Er could also take a lick.
"It's so sweet, brother, eat it." The little boy looked at Xia Er with an innocent smile. The sugar juice on the candied haws was mixed with saliva and was still dripping. It made people feel uncomfortable for a while.
Xia Er····
Looking at the little boy's behavior, Xiao Ming frowned.
"Brother Shi, why are you here?" Xiao Ming asked. I think Shi Tingyu also stayed in the inn with them, but I don't know what the relationship is between this little kid and them. Seeing that this room is full of men, actually There are no women or children to take care of the children.
"I didn't expect to meet Miss Xiao when I was passing by here." Shi Tingyu nodded and said, but did not explain much.
He didn't expect to meet Xiao Ming, and when they first met, they solved a troublesome thing for him. Looking back on what he had experienced in the past few days, he was really exhausted physically and mentally. Several grown men couldn't handle a child.
It was really a bit more difficult than setting up a platoon of troops, but thinking of the specialness of this child, Shi Tingyu hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Ming in front of him, and finally chose to avoid the topic.
Shi Tingyu avoided talking, so Xiao Ming stopped asking any more questions and left after chatting for a few words. Before leaving, he took another look at the little boy eating candy, burying his doubts in his heart.
On the carriage, Xiao Ming looked at the little boy who was happily eating cakes and fruits and was speechless for a while. She didn't expect that this little boy would let her take him with her.
There was no other reason. When they set out in the morning, Jiang Sihai and Shi Dahe found out that the child who cried last night was brought by Shi Tingyu. He had originally interacted with Shi Tingyu through Xia Xiaoba. After the two parties talked, they finally understood. Knowing that Shi Tingyu was going north to the capital, he suggested traveling with him. There was a large city called Lin'an two days away. Lin'an was located on the coast, and it was possible to go directly to Kyoto by boat via the canal.
In this world where refugees are everywhere, the two teams can look after each other. I don’t know what Shi Tingyu was thinking, but he actually agreed. However, Shi Tingyu and his party were all men. It was inconvenient for them to ride with their children on horseback, so they decided to take care of them. He entrusted it to Xiao Ming.
"Why is this child so weird?" Jiang Xiangyuan said, watching Li'er use a handkerchief to try to remove the snot that was about to fall into the little boy's mouth, and then threw the handkerchief out of the window with a look of disgust. This was already her third-party handkerchief. .
This little boy only knew how to eat, and the snack dregs and dried fruits fell all over the floor, making the carriage dirty. He was giggling with the snacks in his mouth, and did not notice the snot falling into his mouth.
Involuntarily, Jiang Xiangyuan felt a chill in her heart and leaned closer and closer to Xiao Ming.
She almost vomited out her overnight meal.
Xiao Ming kept looking at the child and asked softly: "Little brother, what is your name and how old are you?"
Her answer was: "Hey!!"
"whee!!"
"Isn't this child stupid?" Jiang Xiangyuan was surprised and whispered.
Xiao Ming was silent. Although Shi Tingyu didn't mention a word, seeing the attitude of the group towards the child made her a little strange. She seemed happy, but more likely disappointed!
In the end, Xiao Ming'an couldn't help but felt the child's pulse, and then silently withdrew his hand after a moment.
More silence.
"How is it?" Jiang Xiangyuan asked curiously.
Xiao Ming shook his head and said nothing.
Jiang Xiangyuan was curious and wanted to know the answer, but unfortunately Xiao Ming didn't speak, so she had to check his pulse herself. However, she was not good at learning, and after trying for a long time, she couldn't figure out the answer. Instead, she was caught by the little boy, dirty The smell made her sick for a long time.
All morning, Xiao Ming was a little absent-minded, thinking about the little boy's condition.
"Sister Ming, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Xiangyuan called, not knowing the little boy's condition made her feel itchy.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ming was immersed in her own thoughts and did not answer, which made Jiang Xiangyuan call out again and nudge her arm with her hand.
"Mei Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah!" Xiao Ming came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking at the scenery."
