Chapter 124 The sloppy kid

is still acceptable after cleaning up Things went smoothly for Xu Rui, at least on the surface.

He didn’t talk too much with the local officials. He left soon after informing them of the situation and went to the inn to meet his sister.

When he returned to the inn, the kid had cleaned up and was shyly lingering next to Xu Muhua.

As for Xu Muhua, she was surprised to see the kid cleaned up!

Oh, this kid looked sloppy before, with a dirty face, and no appearance at all. In addition, his hair was messy, leaving no room for imagination. I didn’t expect that he was a handsome boy! A little boy!

At this time, his hair had been washed and dried. Because he had been in the mountains all the time, he had never shaved it. Unlike the children of the same age down the mountain, his hair had grown long. Now it was combed neatly, and tied into a knot on each side of his head, like two sheep horns.

His forehead was wide and full. His nose was very straight, and his upper lip was slightly thin, probably only half the thickness of his lower lip, and his lips were light in color. The best thing about him was his eyes, the most beautiful red phoenix eyes, with an eyeliner effect. And after cleaning up, his skin was surprisingly fair!

Standing in front of Xu Muhua in clean new clothes, he looked like Shancai Boy!

He was just too thin. If he gained some weight, he would definitely be the kind of child that everyone would fight to love!

"Where did this child come from?"

Xu Rui came back and saw a child standing in front of his sister. He was stunned for a moment and asked.

Xu Muhua straightened his body, let him face Xu Rui, and said: "Brother, take a closer look at who this child is?"

Xu Rui looked carefully for a while, but still didn't recognize that this child was the little boy who followed his sister on the mountain. It's really hard to associate, they are clearly two extremes!

Dashan smiled and said: "Young Master, this is the child who was sticking to our young lady on the mountain! It's just that he was cleaned up. We were also surprised. We didn't expect that this kid looks so good!"

Xu Rui was also surprised when he heard it.

Not only good, but obviously very good! He has a delicate appearance. If he wasn't stained with some bandit spirit and too thin, no one would doubt that he was the young master of a wealthy family.

But why is he still here?

He looked at his sister inquiringly.

Xu Muhua waved at Dashan, asking him to take the kid to eat something first.

But the kid refused to leave, looking at Xu Muhua stubbornly.

After washing, Xu Muhua was happy to touch him.

The child's skin is tender and smooth, who doesn't like to touch it!

"Don't be afraid, we will rest in the inn tonight and set off tomorrow. We will take you with us, don't worry. Now follow Uncle Dashan to find something to eat."

After she said that, she remembered something and asked, "What's your name? I don't know it yet!"

The little boy pursed his lips and said, "My mother used to call me Baoer."

That means it's just a nickname, not a real name.

"Then I will follow your mother and call you Bao'er! From this name, you can tell how much your parents care about you. They love you."

Bao'er smiled faintly.

His mother really loved him. She kept all the delicious food and drinks for him, and often held him and whispered to him about his father.

But he was still young at that time and couldn't understand. Later, his mother died. He didn't know who his father was, let alone whether his parents had other relatives. If so, why didn't anyone look for them or his mother for so many years?

If they had looked for and found his mother, maybe his mother wouldn't have to die.

After Baoer left, Xu Muhua told him about his situation. She looked at him eagerly and asked, "Brother, you won't blame me for taking the initiative to keep him, right?"

Xu Rui said with a smile, "Why, does brother look like a cold and heartless person?"

"Of course not! I know that brother is a warm-hearted person!"

Xu Muhua shook her head frantically.

Xu Rui reached out and tapped her head lightly, "That's it! He is only a few years old and has no relatives. Where can he go?"

Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, a few years old child, it is not appropriate to just throw him to the local charity bureau.

"Hehe, I knew that brother would not object. When we return to Beijing, I will take out part of my allowance for Baoer!" Anyway,

she can't spend anything if she doesn't go out, not to mention that she has started to make money now.

When her intelligence station gets a big business, she can earn enough money to spend for a whole year, not to mention the regular money.

Xu Rui knocked her head again, earning her a glare.

"Why, our family is so poor that we have to use your allowance to support others? Or do you think our family is stingy and reluctant to spend this little money?"

Xu Muhua said seriously: "Of course not! It's just that I am the one who decided this matter. I am not a child anymore. I should take responsibility. I can't just leave it to you to clean up for me when trouble comes."

Xu Rui paused, looked at her with relief, and rubbed her hair. "Muhua has really grown up."

Xu Muhua pulled his hand away to prevent him from messing up her hairstyle. "I'm the eldest sister. If I don't grow up, how can I help my grandmother and mother share the worries?"

"Okay, when I go back, I'll give you a gift. It'll be a reward for you!"

"That's what my eldest brother said. Don't regret it!"

"Don't worry, big brother will never regret it!"

Xu Rui originally planned to leave the town the next day and set off for the capital. But Xu Muhua said that she wanted to stay for one more day to see if she could find any clues related to Baoer.

Xu Rui didn't know that she had other ideas in her mind, and thought she was really going to find clues. He felt that the possibility of finding clues was very low.

After all, several years have passed, and Baoer's parents may not be locals. They may also come from somewhere else and just passed by here. If they really just passed by, then the scope would be large. What can be done in one day?

However, Xu Rui did not dampen her enthusiasm. Instead, he and others went out to look for information the next day.

Of course Xu Muhua also thought of what Xu Rui had thought of. She just wanted to keep some time to find the little detectives here who could help her get information!

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing more suitable than those wild boars.

So she slipped out of the city and returned to the forest where she stayed for a short time, and called the wild boars out.

"Why are you back again? Are you still thinking of eating us?"

The wild boar asked in shock.

A few black lines slid down Xu Muhua's forehead.

She was tired of explaining! She really didn't think of eating them! Why don't they believe her? Don't
