Maybe his life was too hard. The five-year-old child was beaten so badly that he had no strength left in his body. And it happened that it started to rain outside without anyone knowing.

The weather in Haicheng is not colder than that in the north, but how can a child in thin clothes withstand a rainy night?

Xiao Wei was so cold that he almost lost consciousness. Based on his survival instinct, he suddenly ran out of the family compound! It was already past midnight, and the weather was cold so everyone went to bed early. No one paid attention to such a young child.

Xie Yunshu was watching TV in the tube building. She heard the sound of rain outside and stood up with an umbrella. "Mingcheng, come with me to the yard. The temperature will probably drop after the rain. We have to cover the buns well, otherwise they will freeze tomorrow and won't taste good."

Moreover, the stove in the yard is also cooked with firewood. It is troublesome to light the fire when it rains. The stove and hearth must be covered tightly to prevent rainwater from entering.

Xie Mingcheng responded and put on his raincoat: "Sister, you can watch TV in the house, I can go by myself."

"I won't let you go while you're doing your job." Xie Yunshu snorted, then his eyes fell on the bag of clothes that hadn't been moved: "Who knows if you will sneak to the department store?"

Xie Mingcheng never dared to mention the matter of returning the clothes, and Xie Yunshu didn't mention it either. After being busy all afternoon, Xie Mingcheng actually felt weak the whole time.

Now that Xie Yunshu had spoken so suddenly, he dared not say a word, and put on his raincoat and walked out with his head down, but his tall and thin figure made him look like he was running away in panic. His sister was good at talking, and she was even better at beating people...

The brother and sister quickly covered the stove, covered the firewood with a tarp, and put a shed over the head. As long as there was no strong wind, there would be no problem.

Xie Yunshu gathered his clothes and shuddered: "It's really cold today. I have to wear two more layers of clothes when I get up to sell buns tomorrow morning, otherwise I will freeze to death."

"I'll go with you tomorrow. We can go faster if we go together." Xie Mingcheng followed behind. His handsome face was like cold jade in the rainy night, with just a hint of imperceptible flattery, which seemed a little funny.

Xie Yunshu looked back at him and said, "Don't work too much, or I won't settle the bill with you!"

Xie Mingcheng's cold black eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he called out weakly: "Sister..."

Two people walked towards the tube building, one in front and one behind. Fine rain fell from the sky, like countless silver needles under the dim street lights, which could bring a stinging sensation when falling on the face.

Xie Yunshu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and frowned. There was a little figure curled up under the corridor. Was it a child? But how could a little child appear here at such a late hour?

Xie Mingcheng obviously saw it too. He took two quick steps to see clearly that the child was no more than four or five years old. He was wearing thin clothes and had his eyes tightly closed. His lips were frozen to the point of turning purple. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

With trembling hands, he reached under the child's nose and found that he was still breathing faintly. He quickly picked him up and said, "Sister, he is almost frozen to death. Let him go into the house first!"

No matter who this kid is, he's really going to die if he's left out in the cold all night!

Xie Yunshu didn't see the child's face clearly, but when he heard Xie Mingcheng's words, he became nervous and walked quickly into the house: "I'll go get some hot water and warm it up first!"

Li Fenlan sat on the bed in the room, knitting a sweater under the dim light. She only had two sleeves left to finish, waiting for the New Year so that Yunshu could wear a new sweater. When she heard the door open, she laughed and said, "You've been busy all night, go to bed quickly. Don't you have to get up early to sell buns tomorrow?"

But then I heard Xie Mingcheng's urgent voice: "Mom, quickly bring the quilt from my bed!"

Li Fenlan looked up and was immediately terrified. She put on her shoes and came down, shocked and anxious: "Where did this kid come from? God, why is he so cold? Hurry up and wrap him up with the quilt! He's wet too, I have to take off all my clothes!"

Xie Yunshu poured hot water over. She held the bowl to the child's lips, which had turned purple from the cold. She suddenly stopped moving and looked complicated: "Mom, this child is..."

She had seen this child more than once. He was Zhou Xinyue's son. His name should be Lu 께wei now...

Li Fenlan poured some hot water towards Xiao Wei's lips. Seeing his eyelashes fluttering due to the warmth, Xiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief and frowned at Xie Yunshu: "Who is this kid? Do you know him?"

She had never seen Lu Xiaowei, and neither had Xie Mingcheng, so they both turned to look at Xie Yunshu and asked silently.

Xie Yunshu had mixed feelings. She moved her lips and sighed, "Take off the child's wet clothes first. If you keep doing this, he'll freeze."

How could Zhou Xinyue and Lu Zhixing let such a young child run out alone? Aren't they worried? Besides, it was so cold and raining outside. Even if he didn't meet any bad guys, he would freeze to death.

As for Lu Xiaowei, Xie Yunshu couldn't really say whether she hated him or not. She didn't have a deep impression of this child during those ten years in the dream. She only remembered that this child seemed to be always sick, didn't talk much, and even didn't dare to look at people, always shrinking in fear.

In the end, she seemed to have fallen seriously ill. At that time, her relationship with Lu Zhixing had become very bad, and she didn't pay much attention to the child.

Li Fenlan's eyes were full of pity. She took a hot towel and wiped the child's face and hands. She sighed and said, "Why is this child so thin? I'm afraid it's because he has no parents to take care of him. How pitiful is that?"

Xie Mingcheng had already frowned as he took off the wet clothes on Xiao Wei's body. The half-naked child was skin and bones, and it was painful to look at him.

But that's not the most surprising thing.

Xie Mingcheng took a breath and looked at Xie Yunshu in disbelief: "Sister, this..."
