New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies
Chapter 137 Guilty Xiaoyanzi and Ertai
Looking at Liu Chenfeng, who was standing at the door carrying a bag and looking exhausted, Fu Lun couldn't help but frown. After a closer look, he found that the bag seemed familiar. It was obviously a package from the Fu family. The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"Brother Liu, you, your package."
At this time, Xiaoyanzi heard the voice and couldn't help but ran over curiously. Seeing Uncle Liu Chenfeng coming, she immediately asked with surprise, "Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Chenfeng did not answer Fulun's words first. After all, he did not want to talk about the bloody incident in front of the child. He gently touched Xiaoyanzi's head, then took out a few candied haws from the package and handed them to her, saying softly, "Be good, Gege, uncle brought you candied haws. This is also a gift specially prepared for you by a brother. Take it and share it."
At this time Ertai also ran out. He was also surprised to see Uncle Liu. Then he saw his favorite candied haws, and cheered excitedly. He and Xiaoyanzi took the candied haws and pastries and walked into the house.
When Fulan saw him send the children away, he became more and more uneasy, but he didn't want to talk about it in front of the children, so he waited patiently for the children to leave, but his heart sank to the bottom.
He waved his hand, signaling the other Fu family soldiers to protect the princess and Ertai. He and Liu Chenfeng went to a corner outside the house to talk secretly.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and lanterns were hung at the entrance of the post station. The dim candlelight illuminated a small area of the ground.
Fulun and Liu Chenfeng stood opposite each other. Without waiting for him to ask, Liu Chenfeng took the initiative to tell him what happened in the afternoon.
"I was assigned by Lord Fucha to guard the city gate. I accidentally learned that a horse had lost control and injured a person. I was found by my subordinates and heard that he was a soldier from the Scholar's Mansion, delivering letters and parcels under the order of Lord Fucha. He was injured because of an accident.
He said that he bought gifts for the children. Because he was holding the reins with one hand, he forgot to slow down when he was leaving the city gate. Unexpectedly, a child rushed out. In order not to hurt the child, he tried hard to hold the reins tightly, but because of exhaustion, he fell to the ground and was trampled by the horse's hooves.
Fortunately, the guards arrived in time, controlled the horse, and found a doctor to check on him. The boy was stepped on the chest, and he might have suffered serious internal injuries. However, I took a glance and he should not be in danger of life.
But before the child fell into coma, he was still saying sorry, saying that he had failed the adults and the lady's instructions, and he did not have the time to personally give the snacks and gifts he had bought to the princess and the others.
In order to fulfill his wish, I went there in person to give the candied haws and cakes to Xiaoyanzi and the others.
But that child is really good, he is tenacious and determined, and he risked his life to save others. Although he acted rashly, he has a pure heart, which is admirable."
After hearing the whole story, Fulun sighed. He didn't expect that he sent the child back and he would get injured. Fortunately, his life was not in danger, otherwise, he would feel really guilty.
That child was also a pitiful person. Even though he was sent to the military camp for training by his biased parents, he did not resent his parents. Instead, he always thought about doing his best to earn more money, serve the motherland, and be filial to his parents.
"That child is really pitiful. He came from a bad family, but he didn't grow up badly. It's a miracle. But at least his life is not in danger."
Fu Lun sighed and said that he did not tell Fu Yuan the specific family affairs. After all, he did not dare to say too much about other people's family affairs. He only thought in his heart that he would send more people to make up for him after he returned.
Liu Chenfeng smiled, the seriousness on his face gradually disappeared, and he spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, I asked the Bachelor's Mansion to send someone to pick him up before I left. I think he should be able to rest well in the Bachelor's Mansion, and you will see him alive and kicking when you go back."
Hearing this, Fulan also showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Although an accident did happen, it’s good that the person is still alive and the injury can be healed slowly, but if the life is gone, it would be such a pity and too sad.
While the two were talking, three little guys were lying on the wall behind the door.
Squatting at the bottom was a skinny boy, who was none other than the seven-year-old Ertai. Lying above him was the chubby six-year-old Huo Yuqi. Lying diagonally on top was a mischievous little girl, who was none other than the four-year-old Xiaoyanzi.
The three of them put their ears against the wall seriously, listening carefully to the conversation outside.
When Xiaoyanzi saw Uncle Liu coming over just now, his face didn't look very good, and Uncle Fulun also had a hint of uneasiness on his face. She thought something must have happened.
So after she took the candied haws, she sent Ertai to take the candied haws and pastries to share with her junior brother, while she herself secretly ran behind the door and eavesdropped.
After listening for a while, I heard footsteps and weak voices behind me.
She quickly turned around and hushed at the two idiots, looking at them with disapproval in her big eyes, wanting them to leave, but she saw the two of them shaking their heads at the same time tacitly. Then the three of them could only lie on the wall and eavesdrop.
Maybe it was because the sound of drinking and talking was quite loud inside the house, and the three little guys were eavesdropping here. The two martial arts masters outside with great skills didn't even notice it, so the three of them could only hear a vague idea of what was happening.
When the people outside had almost finished talking, the three of them hurriedly left quietly.
Huo Chengyue and Duanmu Qing sat on the chairs and watched the three little guys eavesdropping furtively. A smile appeared in their eyes, but they did not expose them. As long as they did not run around, it would be fine. Seeing that they were about to go upstairs, they sent someone to guard the door, and they continued to sit and chat.
Xiaoyanzi glanced at the two masters and saw that they had not noticed them yet, so she pulled them upstairs and ran into her room and closed the door.
She glanced at Ertai with a somewhat unpleasant expression, and then couldn't help but lie on the table in anger, muttering helplessly, "Alas, it's all my fault."
If she hadn't wanted to go to the Valley of Divine Doctors with her master and the others, how would Ertai have dared to sneak out? If she hadn't wanted Ertai to stay, Uncle Fulun wouldn't have sent anyone back, and that uncle wouldn't have been injured.
Therefore, everything started because of her.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi felt very guilty.
She didn't want to cause others to get hurt because of herself. In her previous life, she always got into trouble, always hurting her relatives and friends, and even the two beauties and four talented people in Shufangzhai. In her new life, she has changed her bad temper and doesn't want to be arrogant, but why do people still get hurt because of her?
Ertai felt uncomfortable when he saw her guilty look. He sat on the chair next to her and said with a guilty look, "Xiaoyanzi, don't blame you, blame me. If I hadn't been so playful and ran out on my own, Brother Fuyuan wouldn't have been injured. It's all my fault. I was so ignorant."
The two of them looked so self-blaming and guilty that Huo Yuqi was confused.
He glanced at Xiaoyanzi, who was lying on the table with tears in her eyes due to guilt, and then at Ertai, whose eyes were red with guilt. He blinked a few times and finally couldn't help asking, "Xiaoyanzi, Ertai, what are you talking about? You blame me for everything? What are you doing? Why is it your fault? What happened?"
Huo Yuqi really didn't understand what they were doing. He was puzzled when Xiaoyanzi eavesdropped just now. He heard it vaguely and dazedly. He was thinking of going upstairs to ask what was going on, but when he saw them like this, he became even more confused.
Xiaoyanzi and Ertai said to him in unison, with their voices choked with sobs, "You don't understand, so don't ask."
After they finished talking, they looked at each other, and felt even more uncomfortable when they thought that someone got hurt because of their momentary impulse.
However, Xiaoyanzi does have some adult soul after all. Although she has become a child in the past few years and has become much more childish, she has also learned a lot of knowledge. She knows that if she wants to make up for others, it is useless to just shed tears. She needs to make up for it to the best of her ability.
So, she sniffed and said to Ertai in a baby voice, "Ertai, tell me about Uncle Fuyuan, um, Brother Fuyuan. I want to make it up to him after I return to the palace."
Hearing this, Ertai also sniffed, suppressed his guilt, self-blame and regret, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
Afterwards, while Xiaoyanzi was looking expectant and Huo Yuqi was looking confused, Ertai told him everything he knew about Brother Fuyuan's family. He happened to hear it when his father talked about it with his brother. Because Brother Fuyuan was so pitiful and he always liked to bring him candy, he liked Brother Fuyuan very much and remembered everything about him very clearly.
After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi inexplicably began to feel sorry for the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. She didn't expect that he had such a miserable life and was almost abandoned by his family, but he could still maintain such a pure and kind heart. It was really rare.
He himself had been treated unfairly, so he hoped that they would treat the three of them equally and not let anyone feel sad about being ignored.
Thinking of this, she pulled her confused and aggrieved junior brother to sit next to her, and then explained the matter to him word by word, letting him know the inside story.
After all, he was already here. If they kept it a secret from him and didn't tell him, making him feel like an outsider even though he was in the game, it would be unfair to him and very hurtful, as if he was being isolated.
Huo Yuqi didn't understand what she heard at first, until she learned the whole story later and understood why Xiaoyanzi and Ertai were so sad after finding out that their brother was injured.
He couldn't help but hold their hands and comfort them, "Don't be sad, don't feel guilty. I think Brother Fuyuan must be very happy to give us gifts. This accident was purely an accident. After all, you didn't want it to happen, right? Although there may be some reasons related to you, you don't have to blame yourself for it.
After all, no one knows how things will develop. If you are afraid of getting others into trouble in the future, just be good and don’t run around. That way, nothing will happen.”
The little person held Xiaoyanzi and Ertai's hands and tried to persuade and comfort them in a very serious manner, which really made Xiaoyanzi and Ertai relax.
At this time, they all felt that they really shouldn't always be immersed in guilt. They are just children now, but they have identity and status.
They are of noble status, they can make it up to Uncle Fuyuan in their own way, right? They can give him more money, help him find a better job, or let him get more salary and make his life better. There are so many things they can do for him, so why should they keep feeling guilty about this?
Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi and Ertai smiled at each other, and then they both hugged Huo Yuqi gratefully.
The sudden hug made Huo Yuqi feel a little embarrassed, but did being hugged by the two of them mean that he and they really became good friends?
Thinking of this, he happily stretched out his little hands and tried to hug the two of them back. He felt very happy and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He always knew that Xiaoyanzi had a group of very good friends. Although they had met and played together, he always felt that he was just an insignificant existence among them, not valued and not cared about.
Perhaps, this was just a sensitive thought of his, but it was undeniable that they had known each other for a long time and had more topics to talk about, while he had only known them for a short time. When he was with them, they talked about other things and he could only stay by their side and listen silently. That feeling was quite uncomfortable.
Now that they hugged me, does it mean that they completely accept me?
Huo Yuqi thought so, and so did Xiaoyanzi and Ertai. They completely regarded Huo Yuqi as one of their friends and decided to speak their minds directly in the future.
We became better friends because of this incident.
Xiaoyanzi was thinking in her heart, it seems that she has become a child and has been gradually assimilated into the thoughts of a child. She has been thinking about not to implicate others, but some things are really hard to explain. She has tried very hard to learn some knowledge, to protect herself, and to not let herself implicate others.
But there are always some things that are difficult to decide, especially since she is now a princess, a rich lady, and even the second-generation heir of the Divine Doctor Valley. She knows that she will always encounter all kinds of things in the future, and perhaps some cruel and bloody incidents. She knows that all these are possible, so she just wants to study medicine and martial arts well, so that she can better protect herself, not implicate others, and be able to better protect others.
She believed that she would be able to do it, but it would take time, and what she lacked the least was time.
She is only four years old and has a lot of time to study and improve herself. She believes that as long as she studies medicine and poison techniques well in the Divine Doctor Valley and learns martial arts from Uncle Duanmu, she believes that one day she will become a hero like her father, who can protect herself and more people and make more people happy and safe.
Thinking of this, Xiaoyanzi smiled happily and began to look forward to the future.
