Ye Keqing fell to the ground, and there was a vague black shadow squatting in front of her. Ye Xinglan stepped forward and picked up the black shadow, "What are you?"

The black figure hung his head and didn't speak, but struggled weakly in his hands a few times. Ye Xinglan also looked down at him, but the black figure's face was too low, and he couldn't see the man's facial features clearly.

"You can see his face clearly when you lift it up." Shen Guizhou said while raising his hand to lift up the black shadow's face.

Ye Xinglan said: "Who knows what this is, I don't dare touch it."

The black shadow's face was immature like a child's. The child was ragged and frail. In this cold early winter, his body was only covered with a thin layer of cloth, and there were many patches hanging on the clothes.

Shen Guizhou frowned and said: "It's just a child, you let him down first."

Just as Ye Xinglan put the child down, the child ran away like crazy, but how could a mere mortal child escape from the grasp of these big monsters.The child ran a long way, but after a while, he was forced to return to the same place.

Bian Xia said: "Don't run away, we won't do anything to you."

After a long while, the child ran out of breath and was soaked in sweat, so he reluctantly stopped on the spot.

The child was only seven or eight years old, staring at a pair of eyes full of fear, his face was as dirty as if he had just been dug out of the soil, his body was covered with large and small scars, and his whole body was so hungry that only skin and bones remained.

Only then did Bian Xia see the child's appearance clearly, he stared blankly at a light mole between the child's eyebrows, the color of the mole was very light, it was not eye-catching on Xiaohua's face at all.But for some reason, the mole suddenly jumped into his eyes, and he couldn't wipe it off even if he wanted to.

Bian Xia suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by overwhelming dizziness in his head, which made him very uncomfortable. Since his ascension, he has never felt such strong emotions.

"You little brat, you suddenly jumped out and scared me." Ye Keqing handed the half-eaten corn to the kid, "How many days have you not eaten, look at how skinny you are..."

The child froze for a moment, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but Shen Guizhou snatched it away first, "This is raw corn, you can eat it, can he eat it?"

Ye Keqing curled his lips and muttered, "How delicate."

Ye Xinglan asked the child, "Where are your parents? Why did you run out alone?"

Hearing this, the child's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he just bit his bloodless lips tightly, without saying a word.

Everyone threatened and lured them in turn, but the child's mouth was like a clam shell that couldn't be pried open, and he refused to say a word no matter what.

Ye Keqing let out a long breath, and said helplessly, "This can't be dumb, right?"

Thousands of years old big monsters have made trouble.

"It's dark and windy at night in the wilderness, and we can't leave him here alone." Ye Xinglan squatted down in front of the child, and said to him with a serious face: "It means that you are lucky, and you met a few of us." Big monster, if he met someone else, he would have been sold by now."

Hearing this, the child was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and started to cry loudly, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Shen Guizhou gasped, and couldn't help but knocked on Ye Xinglan's "smart" head. Ye Xinglan hugged his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you knocking me?"

Shen Guizhou said as if nothing had happened: "I'm sorry, my hands are itchy."

After saying that, he lifted the child up from the ground, took out two small dried fish from his sleeve and handed it to him, coaxing: "Okay, don't be afraid, brother lied to you, there are no big monsters, don't be afraid. "

The child hiccupped from crying, took the small dried fish given by Shen Guizhou, and started to gobble it up.Perhaps it was Shen Guizhou's dried fish that distracted him from his vigilance, and he rubbed his stomach and muttered softly, "Hungry...so hungry..."

Shen Guizhou took his little hand and said softly: "Then let's go to the city for dinner, shall we?"

The child only heard the word "eat" in his ears, and nodded his head like a pounding garlic.

Only then did the group set off for the city, the night was torn apart by the silver moon, it was quiet and clear.

"Cocklebur! Hurry up and take back your green eyeballs, and you, Ye Keqing, do you still want your ears!" Shen Guizhou's voice came from the forest, scaring away a few birds, " Whether they are childish or not, they know how to scare children."

After saying that, he turned his head and stared at Ye Xinglan again. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Xinglan quickly raised his hands and denied, "I didn't do anything, daughter-in-law!"

Ye Keqing whispered to Ye Xinglan: "Brother, Shen Guizhou is so fierce!"

Ye Xinglan shook his head helplessly, "Oh, I can't help it, I can't beat him."

Shen Guizhou: "..."

As soon as the group of people entered the gate of the city, the child started crying like crazy again, struggling with all his strength to get out of the city, as if he was extremely resistant to the city.

Ye Xinglan held him down, forcing the child to meet his gaze, "Look at me."

A gleam of red light flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes, the child only took one look at him, and then completely fell silent.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, the child was crying so much, those who didn't know it might really think they were human traffickers.

Everyone entered the inn, it was already late, and there were only three rooms left in the inn.Shen Guizhou shared a room with Ye Xinglan, Xan'er and Bian Xia shared a room, and Ye Keqing shared a room alone, leaving only this child with nowhere to go.

Ye Xinglan said to Ye Keqing: "This kid will stay with you, you are the only one in the room."

Ye Keqing curled his lips, "Brother, you know me, you put such a delicious ration by my side, it's hard for me to guarantee his safety..."

Shen Guizhou hurriedly covered the child's ears, "Where are you Xia over there?"

Bian Xia cast a glance at the tall and burly cocklebur, and said helplessly: "The size of the cocklebur is obvious to all..."

Seeing that the child was kind, he was very willing to take him with him, but the cocklebur was eight feet tall, and he alone would be squeezed into a meatloaf, so there was no place for a child.

……

In the end, Ye Keqing gave Shen Guizhou and Ye Xinglan the room where he had the couch, and they put the child on the couch.It was early in the morning, and the inn naturally did not serve meals.

Shen Guizhou fetched a basin of clean water and told Ye Xinglan, "Wash his face."

"Oh." Ye Xinglan didn't complain, and rolled up his sleeves to do it.

Shen Guizhou heard the sound of a child panting heavily, and Ye Xinglan covered the child's face with a big hand, as if trying to smooth out his facial features.Shen Guizhou shook his head helplessly, he might not be able to take care of children in the future.

After washing his face, Ye Xinglan finally saw the child's facial features clearly. He thought for a moment and said, "Gui Zhou, this child looks so familiar..."

Shen Guizhou walked towards the door, not paying attention to his words, "It may have been born in your previous life."

Ye Xinglan: "..."

Shen Guizhou groped into the kitchen of the inn, but heard the rustling sound of gnawing things, he frowned, this kitchen must have been filled with mice.Just as he was thinking, he saw the back of a certain "big mouse" squatting on the ground and eating steamed buns.

Shen Guizhou smiled and pursed his lips, thinking carefully, "Meow!"

"Fuck, there's a cat!" Ye Keqing was so frightened by his meowing that he threw the steamed bun out.

Shen Guizhou pinched his waist and leaned forward and backward at the door laughing, "Why are you looking like a starving ghost, won't the Ye family give you food?"

With his mouth pouting, Ye Ke picked up the half-steamed bun covered in dust, "Shen Guizhou! You are a fool, I wouldn't have given you two extra assists. If I knew it, I should have kept you two bored with the first order." Fall in love!"

"My dear sister, I see that you are addicted to food, so I just want to help you quit." Shen Guizhou suppressed a smile all over his face.

"Are you also here to find something to eat for that child?" Ye Keqing took out another snow-white steamed bun from his bosom, and stuffed it into Shen Guizhou, "There are only two steamed buns left here, and you ruined one just now. It's the last one."

Shen Guizhou took the steamed bun and thanked him, Ye Keqing walked straight past him and walked out the door, "By the way, do you know what the bell my brother gave you means?"

Shen Guizhou said without hesitation: "Every step makes a sound, every step makes a sound."

Ye Keqing raised the corners of his lips, "You are really a fool, this bell has a different name in our Rat Race."

"What do you say?"

"I want to go."
