The little boy's body was cold, his lips were purple from the cold, and his eyebrows were frosted. He had obviously been frozen all night.
I can't help but feel pity. Are you a homeless orphan?
He also wandered on the streets when he was young. Although he had a home, he didn't want to go home, but he was not as miserable as the little boy.
Thinking about it, I took the little boy back into the house first.
"Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er..."
Xie Fu shouted and opened the door directly to enter the room. Xiao Yu'er was changing clothes. At this time, she was only wearing plain clothes and plain pants. A beautiful and moving scene came into Xie Fu's eyes——
A waist that cannot bear to be tied, a chest that is as round as a proud bud, and long and straight legs. The only shortcoming is that there are many scars on the white arms.
"Ah, you are changing clothes, put on your clothes quickly."
Xiao Yu'er just put on a coat, glanced at the little boy in Xie Fu's arms, and asked, "What happened?"
"This little boy has been freezing at the door all night. Go and boil some hot water."
"I'll do it."
Xiao Yu'er said, taking the little boy from Xie Fu's hands, retracting her arms, it felt like she was holding a piece of ice in her arms, she frowned at the coldness, and she put her coat around the little boy.
He glanced at Xie Fu and said, "What are you still doing? Go and heat some hot water."
Xie Fu smiled and left to boil hot water. After a while, he came back with a bowl of hot water: "How are you?"
"My body feels much warmer."
Xie Fu stretched out his hand and touched it. Under the warmth of Xiao Yu'er's body, the little boy's body temperature had become much warmer. Looking at Xiao Yu'er's gentle and loving appearance wrapping the little boy, Xie Fu couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Xiao Yuer said angrily: "Why are you laughing!"
"I laugh at you like a female Bodhisattva."
Xiao Yuer sneered: "A humble woman like me can't even get close to the Bodhisattva."
"Xiao Yu'er, don't belittle yourself. The skin is just an external appearance, and the inner heart is the true heart."
It was like Xiao Yuer telling the story of the Collarbone Bodhisattva.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Xie Fu and said, "I can't see through you more and more."
"How to say?"
"At first I thought you were a vulgar man, then I thought you were a bit special, hiding what illegal activities you were doing, and now I find you have the talent of a scholar."
"Does telling a story count as scholarly talent?"
"Don't forget that I was also a young lady. There are some vulgar things people can't say."
Xie Fu chuckled, and the little boy suddenly shouted: "I didn't steal, I didn't steal..."
The two of them looked at each other and saw that the little boy's eyes were closed tightly, but his words were unclear. It turned out that he was talking in his sleep.
Xie Fu asked: "Do you know this kid?"
"You know him, how could I know him?"
"You are from Sword City."
"It's been seven or eight years since I left Jiancheng. How old is he?"
"That's right."
After a while, the little boy woke up half-conscious. Xiao Yu'er fed him some hot water. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yu'er, who asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
Xiao Yuer blurted out: "I am your mother."
"I don't have a mother, I only have a mother-in-law."
"Then why are you eating my dick?"
Only then did the little boy find that his face was pressed against a soft place, but he said angrily: "I didn't eat it, I just pressed it against it."
Xiao Yu'er giggled, and Xie Fu couldn't help but smile. He remembered that Xiao Yu'er said that he couldn't have children, so he said, "Xiao Yu'er, why don't you adopt him."
"I can't even support myself, so I'm too busy to adopt another one."
The little boy glared at Xie Fu: "I don't want her to adopt her."
The moment he saw Xie Fu, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "What a fool!"
Xie Fu looked dumbfounded and was called a fool for the first time, and he was still a little boy.
Xiao Yu'er rarely saw Xie Fu looking so embarrassed and couldn't help but giggle: "Even a child can see that you are a big fool."
"You idiot, I finally found you."
Xie Fu said: "Why are you looking for me?"
The little boy then told the cause and effect. Although he spoke intermittently, interspersing one thing with another, he understood it clearly. He took a few taels of silver to buy a coat and shoes and went back. The mother-in-law at home misunderstood
These two pieces of silver were stolen.
It is also said that if someone throws cold water on someone and gives the other party a tael of silver, anyone who hears it will think it is nonsense.
Xie Fu looked at the little boy's bare feet, but he was thinking about his mother-in-law and spending money on her. It is very rare to have such filial piety at a young age, so he couldn't help but said: "Good boy." This tael of silver was given to her.
So worth it.
"You idiot, come home with me and explain to my mother-in-law that you really gave me these taels of silver."
Xie Fu thought that the little boy had not returned home all night, and his family must be worried, so he responded quickly.
Hearing this, the little boy broke away from Xiao Yu'er's embrace and jumped directly to the ground as if he had been given a shot of blood.
Xie Fu looked at his bare feet and didn't even have any shoes. He felt compassion and said, "Why don't I take you to buy a pair of shoes first?"
"No need, I'm used to it."
The little boy walked to the front to lead the way. Seeing that Xie Fu did not follow him immediately: "You idiot, follow me."
I followed the little boy to his house. Before he entered the door, the little boy shouted loudly: "Mother-in-law, I brought the idiot here." The man rushed into the house.
Xie Fu followed him in. It was a simple house with one house and one courtyard. The courtyard was very small and full of debris, leaving only a narrow road.
Suddenly, a little boy's panicked cry came from inside the house: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you!"
Fu Xie quickly walked into the house and saw an old woman with silver hair falling to the ground. The little boy was lying on the ground shaking her body, but the old woman didn't react at all.
Xie Fu quickly knelt down to check the old woman's pulse. His tentacles were cold and her pulse was weak. It was obvious that she was old and frail and had not experienced the cold.
Saving people was the most important thing, and I didn't care about many things. I immediately used the mantra of blessing to treat people.
When the little boy saw Xie Fu glowing red, his eyes widened and he was speechless in surprise.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Don't worry, your mother-in-law will be fine. She's just frozen. She must have been worried about you and looking for you all night last night. No matter what happens in the future, she can't run around."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The little boy nodded: "You idiot, are you a Bodhisattva?"
"I am not a Bodhisattva."
"Then why are you glowing red?"
Xie Fu didn't know how to answer this question: "Go and boil a bowl of hot water and bring it over."
The little boy yelled and ran out of the house.
Xie Fu suddenly thought of something and said, "Can you boil water? Why don't you come and take care of your mother-in-law?"
But he saw that smoke was coming out of the yard. He thought that if a poor man's child could become a master, there would be nothing he couldn't do.
Under the treatment of the blessing mantra, the old woman's cold body temperature gradually eased. Only then did Xie Fu realize that the old woman's face was covered with scars. Each of those scars was so deep that even the old wrinkles could not cover it.
I was secretly surprised at what kind of punishment I had to go through to have so many scars on my face, making my face look so hideous and terrifying.
For a woman, her life is basically ruined, and she is also a miserable person.
After a while, the little boy hurriedly brought a bowl of steaming hot water, and Xie Fu warned: "Be careful."
The little boy hurriedly put the hot water on the ground, then rubbed his hands on his clothes. Apparently he was burned by the bowl of noodles, and said, "Hurry and feed my mother-in-law some hot water."
It was obvious that caring would lead to chaos, Xie Fu said calmly: "It's so hot, you can't let it dry first."
The little boy brought a fan over and fanned the hot water. After fanning it for a dozen times, he reached out to touch the bowl of noodles to see if it had cooled down.
In such a cold weather, the water would cool down quickly regardless of whether the fan was used. When the water became warmer, Xie Fu fed the old woman to drink the hot water, then carried the old woman to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Xie Fu put a few taels of silver on the table: "I'm leaving first."
The little boy who was squatting beside the bed with a concerned look on his face heard this and hurriedly ran over to hold Xie Fu and prevent him from leaving.
Xie Fu comforted him: "I'm fine."
"No, my mother-in-law woke up and I couldn't explain it clearly to her. Besides... besides..."
After saying two things, he begged: "You idiot, can you stay and wait until my mother-in-law wakes up?"
Xie Fu smiled and said there was nothing urgent, so he nodded in agreement.
When I had nothing to do, I started chatting with the little boy: "Are you and your mother-in-law the only two people at home?"
"Um."
"Where are your parents?"
The little boy shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Xie Fu also came here. When he was a child, he didn't like people asking about his parents. He smiled, touched the little boy's head, and turned to look at the sleeping old woman.
Seeing Xie Fu staring at his mother-in-law's face, the little boy asked, "Are you looking at the scars on my mother-in-law's face?"
Xie Fu asked politely: "How did you get injured?"
The little boy said: "It's not an injury, my mother-in-law was born like this."
Xie Fu suddenly felt that Tong Yan was naive. This was clearly a scar. How could anyone be born with such a scar?
"Others say behind my back that my mother-in-law has been inappropriate in the past, which is why she has so many scars on her face."
Xie Fu was funny: "Do you know what "indiscretion" means?"
"I know, my mother-in-law explained it to me. Big fool, do you look down on my mother-in-law like others?"
Xie Fu shook his head: "No."
"Why?"
Xie Fu said: "To raise such a filial and sensible child like you, I guess your mother-in-law should be a reasonable person."
The little boy said happily: "I think my mother-in-law is also very good, she is the best person in the world."
Xie Fu smiled knowingly.
The two were chatting, and the old woman woke up leisurely and called weakly: "Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen..."
The little boy immediately threw himself on the old woman: "Mother-in-law, I'm here..."
"Just come back and my mother-in-law won't beat you."
"Mother-in-law, I really didn't steal any money. I brought that fool here and he can testify for me."
The old woman looked around and found someone in front of the bed. Her eyes were dim and she could not see clearly.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Old lady, you have misunderstood the child. This tael of silver was indeed given to him by me."
"Sir, you..."
Xie Fu laughed at himself: "Things are exactly as the child said. Otherwise, why would he call me a fool?"
"Sir, I haven't met someone like you for a long time. Sir, you are kind-hearted and virtuous. Please pay me my respects."
The child didn't understand the reason. How could the adults understand? The old woman stood up as she spoke.
Xie Fu quickly declined: "Old lady, you don't have to be like this. It's such a trivial matter. I can't afford your visit."
"Thank you sir."
Xie Fu laughed: "It's not a big deal, old lady, I'll leave first."
This laughter was as hearty as the sun, which inexplicably made people dispel the chill. The old woman always felt that this laughter was a bit familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and she was thinking about it, so that Xie Fu left without saying goodbye.
"gentlemen……"
When he came back to his senses, he realized that the other party had left.
"Mother-in-law, this idiot has left."
The old woman scolded: "Xiao Wen, this gentleman is not a fool. He is kind-hearted and virtuous. Doing good deeds and getting fame and profit is a yang virtue. Doing good deeds with fame and no fame and no profit is a yin virtue."
"
"Mother-in-law, what's the difference between yang virtue and yin virtue?"
The old woman smiled and said: "Seek to gain Yang virtue, and seek to fulfill Yin virtue."
"Mother-in-law, this gentleman left a few taels of silver. Isn't it considered a virtuous thing?"
"Forget it, Xiaowen helps me up, and we'll see this gentleman off."
An old man and a young man came to the door and looked at the figure walking away. Although it was far away, the old woman could see it clearly.
That step, that broadness, that demeanor, that upright back appeared again and again in the old woman's dreams, her heart trembled as if she had been hit by an arrow, her whole body trembled, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
The old woman quickly chased after her, but her old body only ran a few steps before falling to the ground.
"Mother-in-law."
The little boy hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but found that his mother-in-law's eyes were red and seemed to be filled with tears: "Mother-in-law, why are you crying?" This was the first time he saw his mother-in-law cry, and he thought she wouldn't cry.
"Quick...quick..."
"What's fast?"
The old woman fainted from excitement...
Xie Fu walked around Jiancheng, went to Dengying Tower, and also went to the Su Family Auction House to inquire about some things. It was indeed as Xiao Yuer said, the Su Family Auction House is not a restaurant and inn, and does not accept ordinary people.
Moreover, he also inquired about a special situation. The Su's Auction House, which was supposed to open the next day, has been closed for a while, and the auction will be reopened three days later.
The person who inquired said that this situation had almost never happened before, which made Xie Fu feel that the Su family was preparing something, and he had a vague feeling that the auction that day must not be missed.
Although it was his first time to come to Jiancheng, Xie Fu could still feel the treacherous atmosphere of Jiancheng. People with different accents lived in Dengyinglou, and he also discovered that there were people from Beidi and Xirong.
I originally wanted to go to the Su family, but thinking that I had a special status, a big tree and attracted attention, and could easily become the focus of others, I decided to wait until the situation in Sword City was clear before showing up.
It would be best to meet Su Qianqian and have Su Qianqian introduce you to him and act in secret.
He went to the inn he had agreed with Su Qianqian, but Su Qianqian hadn't arrived yet. In order not to miss it, Xie Fu described Su Qianqian's appearance and left a letter for the shopkeeper.
At dusk, the old woman and the little boy hid together, looking at the ruined doorway from a distance.
"Xiaowen, does he really live here?"
"Mother-in-law, he really lives there. If you don't believe it, let's go in and find him together."
"No, I want to confirm it first."
The little boy felt that his mother-in-law had become a bit childish and strange today. His mother-in-law never cared about anything before, so why did she care so much about this idiot today: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Maybe he is my old friend."
"Oh, I'm your friend, mother-in-law."
The old woman smiled bitterly at the corner of her old mouth. She didn't know whether she was a friend or... maybe an old friend was the most appropriate title.
The little boy asked in confusion: "Mother-in-law, shouldn't your friend be an old man?"
The old woman touched her wrinkled face and said softly: "My mother-in-law is getting old very fast. Maybe she no longer recognizes me."
