Who knew that after she finished speaking, the little boy's eyes suddenly became moist, and he choked up and said, "My father and mother are both dead, so there is no one to take care of me."
After hearing what the little boy said, Chen Yalan felt a little relieved. After trying it again, she realized that she was really overthinking it this time. The little boy was not a spy.
In fact, it is not Chen Yalan's fault that she acted like this. It is just because if there are spies from the enemy country on the battlefield, their plans are likely to be leaked.
Chen Yalan did this to ensure their safety. In order to win the battle and defend her country, she had to doubt everyone.
Now that she knew that the little boy was just an ordinary person and not a spy from the enemy country, Chen Yalan began to feel some pity for him.
"So that's how it is. Since you have no one to rely on, why don't you come back with me? At least I can guarantee you food and clothing." Chen Yalan asked.
The little boy seemed a little surprised to hear Chen Yalan ask this. He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief, "Is it really possible? Can I have enough food and clothing and no longer have to worry about those things?"
His look made Chen Yalan laugh out loud: "Yeah, if you follow me back, you won't have to worry about those things anymore. How about it, are you willing?"
After all, the little boy was only about ten years old, so he looked somewhat innocent, which made Chen Yalan feel soft-hearted, so she wanted to take him in.
After receiving Chen Yalan's response, the little boy smiled happily.
So, Chen Yalan took the little boy back to where she lived. Now the city they were in was already in the midst of war, many people were homeless, and even more people were starving. Chen Yalan knew that an orphan like the little boy, without a father or mother, would have even less food to eat.
After returning to the house, Chen Yalan immediately asked someone to serve food to the little boy. Sure enough, the little boy seemed to have not eaten properly for a while. When he saw the food, he swallowed several times.
However, it can be seen that the little boy seems to have been well-educated. Even when his stomach was rumbling, he did not forget to look at Chen Yalan first. Only when Chen Yalan signaled that he could eat did he start eating with big mouthfuls.
Because she was afraid that the little boy might not be able to bear eating too much suddenly because he hadn't eaten for a long time, Chen Yalan didn't let him eat too much. She only let him eat until he was 70% full.
Although the little boy wanted to eat his fill at once, he knew that as long as he could stay with Chen Yalan, he would no longer have to worry about food, so he listened to Chen Yalan very much.
Seeing that the little boy was in better spirits after eating, Chen Yalan also laughed: "Since you are full, why don't I teach you sword skills."
In fact, how could a little boy like this practice sword? It’s just that Chen Yalan is injured now and is not suitable for strenuous exercise. It is also very good for her to practice with this little boy.
Soon, under Chen Yalan's instructions, someone brought a small wooden sword and a large wooden sword. Chen Yalan handed the small wooden sword to the little boy and then taught him how to practice.
On the side, Zhong Yu watched Chen Yalan teaching the little boy to practice sword. Chen Yalan had explained to him about the appearance of this little boy, so he had nothing to say. After all, Chen Yalan was the general.
After teaching the little boy once, Chen Yalan let him practice on his own. She sat aside and took out the letter written by Fu Liu. The envelope was a little dirty because it had fallen on the ground, but it didn't matter. After she carefully read the contents of the letter, she found that it was full of Fu Liu's words asking her to take care of herself. Her heart was filled with warmth.
After reading the letter carefully, Chen Yalan thought about it and wrote a reply.
At night, a sneaky figure appeared in a corner.
Not long after, another thin figure slowly appeared. The two figures met, then hid together, talking about something.
Chen Yalan drank too much water at night and felt a little uncomfortable at night. As people have urgent needs, Chen Yalan got up and prepared to go to the toilet.
Just as Chen Yalan solved her personal problem and was about to go back to her room to rest, she suddenly noticed two sneaky shadows in the corner.
This made Chen Yalan startled, so she didn't say anything, but hid immediately, hiding in a place where she could see the two of them clearly.
When she saw the face of one of them clearly, she was a little surprised. She stopped hiding and rushed directly to the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yalan suddenly appeared and asked the two of them coldly.
One of them noticed Chen Yalan's appearance and immediately wanted to attack her.
However, the other person noticed the man's action, reacted, and grabbed the man's arm: "No, don't be impulsive."
It turned out that the person who was holding the boy and trying to attack was the little boy that Chen Yalan had taken in during the day. Chen Yalan showed up because she found the boy there. She could tell that the two children were young. Although she was injured, she had martial arts skills, so she was not afraid of these two people.
Seeing that the little boy still had a conscience and knew to hold back the other person who wanted to commit the crime, Chen Yalan felt relieved. Fortunately, she did not take in an ungrateful person.
However, Chen Yalan was still a little worried about the sudden appearance of another person, so he asked: "What's going on? Who is he? Why did he suddenly appear here again? What is the relationship between you two?"
The series of questions made the little boy a little unsure where to start. After thinking about it, the little boy told the whole story from beginning to end. It turned out that the other person was none other than the little boy's brother.
Because the little boy followed Chen Yalan to the house during the day, the little boy's brother also followed, but he couldn't get in.
However, the little boy's brother could see that there was food in Chen Yalan's house, so when night fell, he climbed over the wall and first found his younger brother, and then sneaked into the kitchen to steal some food.
When the two brothers were secretly eating, Chen Yalan suddenly appeared.
Chen Yalan was skeptical about what the little boy said, because there were too many questions about this little boy. Chen Yalan could not completely believe what the little boy said, but because he was too young, Chen Yalan did not believe that he would lie at such a young age.
Just when Chen Yalan was half-believing and half-doubting, not knowing whether to believe it or not, the little boy's brother suddenly broke open a steamed bun and took out a piece of paper from the bun. The words on the paper were written very neatly.
