Cheng Yun changed the question: "Where is your family?"
Lingbao said: "Dad and brothers are my family."
The girl's eyes were clear and innocent, looking at them with deep joy and trust, but it was obviously the first time they met.
Cheng Yun: "..."
While he was laughing, he also realized that he couldn't get any useful information out of the child's mouth.
"Brother, how about we come together?" Ling Bao used his fingers to tug at the corner of Cheng Yun's clothes, not daring to exert any force and looking at him helplessly.
Cheng Yun was shaken for a moment, but thinking of his own situation, he still shook his head.
"Little sister, we are not your family. You have your own family, and you should be with them."
Ling Bao was confused, her family was them!
That's her daddy, these are her eldest brother and second brother!
They are a family!
Cheng Yi impatiently kicked down the pebbles on the side of the road and urged: "Brother, hurry up and leave. I don't know when we will arrive."
Cheng Yun stood up, not knowing what he was thinking, and raised his hand to touch the little girl's messy little head. Her hair was very soft, but also a little rough, and she looked like she was malnourished.
He pursed his lips and said sternly: "Farewell. Don't follow me."
The father and son turned and left.
The two brothers supported Cheng Zhongqian, one on the left and the other on the right. For the first half of his life, he was well-dressed and well-fed, and he traveled by horse-drawn carriage. He had no chance to exercise. It is a miracle that he can survive until now.
But half his life was lost.
He is now in a semi-conscious state.
This is why Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi left in a hurry.
"Dad, brother..."
The biting winter wind carried the little girl's cry as faint as a mosquito, with a hint of fear and trembling.
Don't leave Ling Bao alone.
Cheng Yun suddenly stopped and lowered his head.
Cheng Yi was confused: "Brother?"
"Erlang, help daddy."
The young man hurriedly put down these words and immediately walked quickly towards Ling Bao who was stopped where he was.
The moment she saw him turn around, Ling Bao's eyes burst with intense joy, but she was afraid that her joy would be in vain, so she dared to wait for her eldest brother to come over without moving.
"You can follow us first." Cheng Yun sighed, "But let's agree first, our family is not rich either, so you still have to find your own family."
Our family is not rich either, but one day these words will come out of his mouth.
Things really are unpredictable, Cheng Yun shook his head.
The little girl in front of him cheered and immediately gave him a big bear hug: "Big brother is so kind. Don't worry, Lingbao will definitely follow you closely!"
One look at it and you can tell that you didn’t hear the next few sentences.
The body in my arms was small, soft, and thin. Although it was dirty, it exuded warmth.
Under this unexpected hug, Cheng Yun's cold body actually warmed up a little. I wonder if it was his imagination.
Forget it, she is just a child.
It’s not too late to talk about it later.
Cheng Yi was obviously puzzled by his actions and frowned: "Brother, you are crazy! You really took her with you?!"
In the past, he would have had no objection to bringing seven or eighty of them, since he could afford them anyway. But now, bringing her with him is like carrying a bottle of oil!
Cheng Yun said: "Let's find a place to stay first and then talk about it."
After all, it was his eldest brother, Cheng Yi said nothing.
But he had strong objections to Ling Bao and glared at her viciously.
Lingbao didn't see it, she raised her little hands and jumped up and down: "Brother, Lingbao can lead the way!"
She must work hard to prove to her second brother that she is not a drag!
The roads in the countryside are the most primitive dirt roads, which are bumpy and full of potholes. After the snow melts, it becomes a puddle of water and is very muddy. When you step on it, everything from the soles of your shoes to the soles of your feet will get wet.
The third father and son of the Cheng family were very unaccustomed and disliked him.
Lingbao is used to it. In fact, it has been settled now because it snowed heavily last night and most of the snow has not yet melted.
If you are upset when it rains heavily, it will be like stepping in the mud. If you are not careful, you will not be able to pull your feet out.
Lingbao asked: "Brother, where are we going?"
Cheng Yi rolled his eyes. He didn't know where they were going, so he said that he would lead the way, but she could be ruined!
"Go to Beihe Village."
Ling Bao's eyes lit up at first, she knew this person, she lived in Beihe Village.
Soon, Ling Bao became panicked again. Han Dahu and his father also lived in Beihe Village. Will they throw her away again if they see her?
Lingbao trembled with fear and asked timidly: "Brother, can't we go somewhere else?"
Cheng Yun shook his head: "No."
This is arranged by the government. If you escape privately, you will be wanted.
Ling Bao lowered his head.
About 4 o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at Beihe Village.
It was time for breakfast. The smell of food came from every house, and the four of them swallowed their saliva in unison.
"Gululu~"
Lingbao shyly covered his belly and thought with a red face, stop the belly growling!
Contrary to expectations, her belly growled again, louder than before.
Cheng Yun smiled and asked: "Are you hungry?"
Lingbao shook his head vigorously and hurriedly denied: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry. Lingbao is not hungry at all."
"Gululu——"
Lingbao was about to cry. He pressed his belly hard, but his belly was still growling. He was not obedient at all!
"Brother, Lingbao is really not hungry, Lingbao is just thirsty."
At the end, she nodded heavily, not knowing whether to convince Cheng Yun or herself.
Cheng Yun laughed and couldn't help but rub her head: "Okay, one meal is still enough for you."
Lingbao smashed his mouth so spinelessly that his saliva almost flowed down.
Cheng Yi on the side was not in such a good mood.
This little girl looked stupid and quite scheming, so she deceived her big brother into a meal!
"I don't know where the village chief's home is, I'll go ask." Cheng Yun said.
Ling Bao raised his hand: "Brother, I know! I will lead the way!"
Cheng Yun raised his eyebrows: "Do you know the village chief?"
Lingbao nodded, held his hand and walked forward: "I know you, the village chief uncle is a very nice person."
The village chief's house is very close to the village entrance, which ensures that strangers in the village can quickly know when they enter the village. So as soon as they arrived at the door of the village chief's house, a dark, skinny, middle-aged man opened the door and came out.
"Uh, uh, are you the Cheng family that the officials are talking about?" the village chief asked nervously, rubbing his hands.
"I'm Cheng Yun, this is my father, and this is my brother Cheng Yi." Cheng Yun put his hands together and made a literary bow.
The village chief was at a loss and followed suit with a nondescript scholarly ceremony.
What a girl, I am indeed from the capital.
But why only three were introduced? Why don’t the kids talk about it?
The village chief didn't recognize it at all. This was the Lingbao from Han Dahu's family in his own village. How could he dare to look at it more?
The house they live in is at the end of the village.
It is said to be a house, but it is actually a thatched house. Not to mention shabby, dust flies everywhere when the door is opened, and it is filled with the smell of decay that only occurs after it has been abandoned for a long time. The corners and roof are all covered with spider webs.
There are only two rooms, one is smaller than the other, and the other is uglier than the other.
