A ragged cub at the beginning

"It's snowing!"

Someone shouted, and Tang Xu woke up from his sleep and ran to the bed excitedly.

The ground was covered with a thin layer of snow, shining brightly in the morning light.

Tang Xu put on her clothes and ran outside, she saw a man jumping down from the wall. She widened her eyes and rushed over to punch the man without thinking.

"Huh?" The man exclaimed, and dodged slightly. "I'm looking for someone, why do you start fighting right away?"

"Who is this good guy who climbs over the wall to look for someone! He's obviously not a good guy!" Just in time to test the results of his work during this period, Tang Xu changed his fist into a palm and chopped towards the man's neck.

The man dodged by leaning back. "Don't do it, we can talk it out. I'm really not a bad person. I just jumped over the wall because you guys are still asleep. Can I go out and knock on the door?"

Tang Xuli ignored him and concentrated on recalling all his means of attack, using his fists, palms and legs one by one.

"This skill looks very familiar, little girl, I'm really here to find someone, stop it, or I'll fight back." He dodged left and right with ease, and still had time to mutter. Suddenly, he saw a person standing at the door of the main room, and his eyes lit up: "Little Feather!"

Tang Ling ignored him and said, "Kick to the left."

Tang Xu didn't hesitate at all, he raised his right leg and kicked sideways.

“Little Feather!!” the man shouted in disbelief. His forward movement was blocked and he rolled over to avoid it.

"Leg sweep."

Tang Xu squatted down and kicked the man who had just landed, and he jumped up again.

"Uppercut."

Tang Xu swung his fist upwards, and the man crossed his hands to block the downward pressure.

Tang Qing heard the noise and came out to see his long-dead elder brother. He looked at the familiar face in shock, his eyes widened and trembling, tears welling up. His vision gradually blurred, and he could not see the figure in front of him clearly. He rushed over, "Brother! Brother! Brother!!!" His hoarse voice became louder and louder, and tears slid down his face.

Tang Xu stopped and looked at Tang Qing who was holding the man tightly.

"Xiaoer!" Tang Yao grabbed his brother's neck and pressed his head into his arms. "Good boy, you've grown up so much!"

"Where have you been!!!" Tang Qing burst into tears, grabbing Tang Yao's clothes with both hands and shouting, "You are not dead! Why don't you come back! Why!"

"Your voice is getting louder and louder. My ears are going to get hurt by your shouting." Tang Yao lowered his voice, raised his head and pinched his brother's neck, "I'm sorry, brother didn't bring you a gift this time."

"I don't want it," Tang Qing choked up and said, "I don't want any gifts, I just want you to come back, it would be great if you come back..."

Tang Xu turned around and pinched his sore nose.

Tang Ling looked at her and suddenly asked, "Where is my sister?"

Tang Xu was stunned. Perhaps it was the atmosphere that made her want to stop lying. She shook her head and said, "You may not believe me, but I woke up in this body. I don't know where she went. But she was seriously injured at the time and had a premonition that her end was near, so she brought Qiyue here. I didn't hurt her, and I don't know the reason."

This was discovered later when she was looking through the original owner's memories. The reason why the original owner returned here was because the people here were good and she had no one to entrust Qiyue to. So she secretly checked the neighbors around her and found that they were all kind-hearted people. She thought that even if she died, Qiyue might be taken care of by them. Whether this was out of guilt or a sudden realization of kindness before she died, Tang Xu couldn't tell.

This statement is sensational, but it can explain why the marks on the body can match, but the temperament is so different. Tang Ling looked into Tang Xu's eyes and could not find any trace of lying. This is true.

"The last time, I helped her stop two people, but one escaped." Tang Ling's eyes were unfocused, as if he was looking at someone else through Tang Xu, "I knew she might not be able to resist... I found the culprit who killed the Ye family, and she always wanted revenge, so I killed them all for her and got a little injured. If I hadn't been injured, I might have been able to stop her. I didn't expect that in the end, she would indirectly die because of the Ye family." Tang Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the arm covered by his sleeve. If it weren't for this deep wound that could be seen through the bone, he wouldn't have let those people find Tang Xu.

"I'm sorry." Tang Xu didn't know what to say. She had seen the scar, but she didn't know how serious the injury had to be to leave such a horrible scar. She felt sorry for Tang Ling, who had done so much for her sister, but still couldn't save her in the end. She was the beneficiary, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

"Little Feather! Did you miss me? I'm back!" Tang Yao coaxed his brother and walked a few steps forward to get in front of Tang Ling. Sensing that she was in a bad mood, he glanced at Tang Xu, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Get lost." Tang Ling turned and went back to his room.

"Little Feather, why are you so mean to me? I will be sad." Tang Yao followed closely, "You are too cruel. You left me there. I waited for two days before I saw the disciples who went out of the valley to collect herbs. I almost starved to death."

"Just die." Tang Ling closed the door.

Tang Yao almost got his nose pinched, and knocked on the door angrily: "Little Feather, come out and chat with me, I have a lot to tell you."

"Brother! I have something to tell you too!" Tang Qing followed him and said angrily.

"Little brat, go to bed early, don't delay me from finding a sister-in-law for you." Tang Yao pushed Tang Qing away and continued to knock on the door, "Little Feather, A Ling, Xin Chenyi, open the door, I really have a lot to say, don't you want to hear the gossip about Yaowang Valley? Let me tell you..."

Tang Xu didn't expect that this man had a face that was so affectionate even when looking at a dog, but he was so talkative that no matter how nice his voice was, it sounded like a crow.

I don't know if Tang Ling blames me, at least I didn't use a knife. Oh, it's so annoying. She returned to the room, and July Piglet was still sleeping soundly. She sighed, hugged the piglet and took a few breaths. It smelled really good.

"Shut up!" Tang Ling's mind was full of Tang Yao's nagging, and she couldn't hold back her sadness about her sister. She was so angry that she opened the door and raised her hand to hit Tang Yao.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and Tang Qing was stunned.

Tang Ling was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Tang Yao didn't dodge.

"You hit me again. I told you not to hit me in the face. If I make you look ugly, you will be even less willing to look at me." Tang Yao rubbed his face and complained in a low voice.

"Brother! She hit you!" Tang Qing pointed at Tang Ling.

"You're rude!" Tang Yao pressed his brother's hand, "Go to bed quickly, don't disturb me, be good."

"Hmph! Good-for-nothing!" Tang Qing stomped his feet hard and returned to the room stomping heavily on the floor.

Tang Ling pursed her lips, her palms felt slightly hot and painful. She didn't hold back on the slap, and the other person must have felt even more pain.

Tang Yao didn't care about the injury on his face at all. He pulled Tang Ling's arm and walked into the room. "Little Feather, I came to see your room. It's as tidy as ever. Can I sleep on the floor tonight?"

? ? ? ?

Tang Ling glared at him, "Go sleep with Tang Qing!"

"No, my brother stinks." Tang Yao sat down on the stool, looking like he wasn't going to leave.

Tang Ling felt her hands itching, so she clenched her fists. She looked at the man's face, which was half thin and half swollen, looking funny and pitiful.

Forget it, she just lay down on the bed with her back facing Tang Yao.

Tang Yao saw that she was asleep, and sat quietly. His eyes fell on her scattered black hair, and he smiled and said silently: A Ling, I'm back.

Tang Ling couldn't sleep, but when she felt the gaze behind her, she couldn't help but recall the past. For some reason, when Tang Yao was around, she completed every task easily, without having to think, just sitting and waiting. Maybe it was because he never stopped talking, making it hard for her to be nervous, or maybe it was because he rushed to the front and blocked all the shadows. After Tang Yao left, she never accepted another partner.

As she was thinking, she slowly fell asleep.

Tang Xu nestled in Qiyue's arms and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, everyone got up late.

Qi Qing pushed the Tang family's door and knocked again. No one opened the door, so he went to open the shop himself.

Du Yun waited at the intersection for a long time, and seeing that time was running out, he hadn't seen his sweetheart yet. He couldn't help but come to Tang's house, and happened to run into Tang Xu, who was yawning and opening the gate, "Ah Xu, are you feeling unwell? I got up late today."

"No, no. I slept in today." Tang Xu scratched his messy hair. He hadn't brushed his teeth yet! ! ! Does my hair look like a mess? ? Am I dressed? ?

Her flustered look amused Du Yun. Fearing that she would get angry, Du Yun quickly said goodbye: "I'm glad you're okay. I'm going to the academy now."

"Let's go, let's go." Tang Xu waved his hand and hurried to wash up.

July got up earlier than her, packed herself up, and quietly bent over the table to draw. When she saw Tang Xu, she squinted her eyes and smiled, called her mother sweetly, and then continued to do her own thing.

My son is so good! So cute! Angel baby!

She hummed a song as she washed up. When she thought about what to eat in the morning, she felt a little worried. Tang Ling wouldn't leave, would she? Or was she angry? Let's have pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles today to appease Tang Ling. She loves this.

She kneaded a dough, covered it, picked up a basket, said goodbye to July, and went out to buy groceries.

When Tang Ling opened her eyes, she saw Tang Yao holding his face with one hand, his eyes closed, as if he was fast asleep. She sat up gently, and the man opposite her suddenly opened his eyes. When his alert, murderous eyes met Tang Ling's face, they melted instantly. He smiled and stood up, saying, "Good morning, little feather."

"Good morning, get out." Tang Ling started to chase him away.

"Okay, okay, our little feather has to get up and pack up. I'll be out first." Tang Yao took two steps and turned back to ask, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"There's food to eat, it's none of your business." Tang Ling said.

Yesterday I confirmed that my sister was really gone. I was very sad, but I forgot because of Tang Yao's annoyance. Should I leave? My sister is gone, what am I doing here? But why do I feel reluctant?

She walked to the window. The vegetable garden in the backyard was half turned over, but Tang Xu gave up again, saying it was too cold and the vegetables would not grow. When the children had nothing to do, they loved to hunt for treasures here. They would jump and shout for joy when they found a small stone or a small earthworm in the soil.

The courtyard door opened and closed, and Tang Xu was humming the song with a messy accent again. After a while, the aroma of pickled cabbage slowly drifted out. The sound of footsteps came to the door. It was July. He knocked on the door gently: "Aunt, get up and wash up. It's time to eat soon. Mom made your favorite pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles. It smells so good, get up, or the noodles will clump together."

"Okay." Tang Ling responded.

Qiyue turned and walked away, muttering: Although the noodles are clumpy, they are delicious and fragrant. But they will become so much that I can't finish them.

Tang Ling chuckled. She understood more and more why Tang Xu liked children so much. They were pure and innocent. If you treated them well, they would return you warm and direct feelings.

“Every day is the same~

Sometimes I have sudden ideas,

As long as there is Doraemon,

The laughter will last indefinitely.

Share your happiness with me,

Stay by my side when I'm sad,

Dig out its magic pocket,

You can forget your troubles~"

Tang Xu stirred the noodles in the pot, humming a cheerful nursery rhyme and swaying his body from side to side.

Like a fool.

Tang Ling fetched a bucket of water and went back to his room to wash up. What was the point of agonizing in the morning? What could this idiot remember? The deeds of the courtyard were all here with him, so what was wrong with continuing to live there? If he left, these brats would definitely be lazy, and none of them could even beat a chicken. What if they were bullied? Tang Xu's kung fu was mediocre, and if he was bullied one day, he would cry and be annoyed.

I have to keep an eye on them, a bunch of soft little pieces of trash, I can't live without her.

Tang Xu cooked a big pot of noodles. Although Tang Ling was skinny, he had a big appetite. The man from yesterday didn't look like he ate little either. The one who ate the most was Tang Qing. It seemed like he was never full.

You little brat, you're eating my father out of house and house. The ancients were right.

While the noodles were simmering, Tang Xu took a broom and swept a path in the yard. He didn't dare sweep too much, for fear that the children would have no snow to play with later.

As soon as Tang Qing woke up, she ran into Tang Ling's room, "Where's my brother? Where's my brother?"

"Going out." Tang Ling was combing her hair.

"Is my brother really back? Right? Back? I'm not dreaming, right?" Tang Qing urgently needed confirmation.

"Yes, I'm back. I'll have breakfast with you later." Tang Ling put down the comb, "Go wash up quickly."

Tang Qing was so excited that he couldn't hold back his emotions. When he saw Qiyue, he held Qiyue's chubby little face and kissed her hard. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he was embarrassed for his brother's sake. Now he was so happy that he couldn't help himself. "Qiyue, my brother is back!"

"Oh." Qiyue looked at him blankly, but she was still happy about her brother's closeness. "Congratulations, brother."

“Hehehe…” Tang Qing finished washing up with a silly smile, then squatted at the gate of the yard.

Tang Xu looked at him and was also happy for him. He usually had a stern face and acted like an adult, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Now that his closest brother was back, he started to behave like a child.

"It's time to eat." She called out and served four bowls of noodles. The largest soup bowl was Tang Qing's, the smaller one was Tang Ling's, the normal bowl was hers, and the smallest bowl was July's. She couldn't take so much, so she only took out hers and July's.

Tang Ling came out and the two looked at each other. Tang Xu gave a flattering smile, looking a little nervous.

"Sister, did you sleep well?" Tang Xu didn't know whether she still wanted to be called sister.

"Okay." Tang Ling nodded, went to the kitchen to get his own noodles, and sat down to eat noodles as usual.

"Brother Qing, it's time to eat noodles!" July shouted when he saw that there was one person missing.

"I'll wait a moment." Tang Qing was reluctant to leave the door.

"Eat first and ignore him." Tang Ling helped July push the bowl towards the table, fearing that he might accidentally knock it over and get burned.

"Auntie eats too. She has two fried eggs!" July pointed at her bowl and said enviously.

"Hmm." Tang Ling picked up the egg and took a bite, "Eat it."

Does this mean it's over? Tang Xu's heart dropped.
