Jiang Wan glanced at him and prepared to leave.
"Does the girl really think that she can change if she works hard?"
“Why can’t it be changed?”
Jiang Wan asked him back.
"When a person is born, his identity is determined, but his fate is not. If he gives it a try, he still has the power to change it. If he goes with the flow, he will often be drowned by the tide."
Hearing her words, the beggar man's eyes flickered, but there was a hint of something in his eyes.
"you……"
Jiang Wan's eyes fell on him. She felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Old man, why are you here?"
Anyone who can say such words should not be an ordinary person without knowledge. On the contrary, he should have extraordinary knowledge.
But why did it become like this today?
"I am just a person abandoned by the world."
"From what the old man said, I guess he's not just an ordinary person, but a learned man. Or maybe he's just too ambitious to be seen?"
"The little girl is so young and so brave. Aren't you afraid that I, an old man, am a bad guy?"
The old beggar did not answer her, but chuckled instead.
"Since we have met, it is fate. If you don't mind, you can leave town with me. Perhaps one day, I will be able to see the future clearly again."
There are many miserable people in this world, and she is one of them.
Just deeply favored, and reborn.
If that's the case, she shouldn't just stand by and watch him die.
When the old beggar heard this, he looked up at her.
After a long time, he looked up and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
"If you were really a bad guy, you wouldn't have been inactive for so long."
"Besides, I have no power, no influence, and no money. Even if I take you home, I can only ensure that you don't go hungry. There is nothing worth coveting."
…
Pushing open the gate, Jiang Wan walked in.
Jiang Zexing was not in the yard. There was a half-made wooden chair in the yard. It was obvious that the person who made it had just left not long ago.
He should be back soon.
As soon as he came in, the old beggar looked around.
Jiang Wan didn't lie. This was indeed a courtyard that couldn't be more ordinary. In fact, there were only three thatched houses, and the kitchen was a simple shed.
But compared to where he lived before, this place was a paradise.
"Wanwan, you're back."
Hearing her voice, Su Yun walked out of the house.
As soon as she walked out, she saw the old beggar beside her with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is……"
Jiang Wan glanced at the old beggar and said, "Old man, please sit down first."
"Mom, come here."
She explained the whole story. Su Yun's eyes fell on the old beggar with scrutiny, but in the end he didn't say much.
"Speaking of which, he is also a pitiful man."
Before they separated, they often accepted help from others. Now, they are willing to help others.
Moreover, Wanwan said that this old beggar was well-educated, and perhaps she could ask him for advice in the future.
She turned around and went into the room. Soon, she took out a set of clothes.
"Uncle, we don't have any new clothes at home. These are the clothes of the child's father. But don't worry, I have washed them clean. You can change them first."
He is dirty and if he continues like this for a long time, he will inevitably get sick.
"Thank you very much."
He glanced at her, his gaze paused briefly, then he looked down at the clothes on the table. They looked old, but indeed clean and tidy.
Jiang Wan walked over, saw the clothes on the table, and spoke.
"Uncle, please wait a moment. I'll go boil some water."
The old beggar's eyes flickered. It was the first time he felt such warmth.
He looked at the decorations in the yard. It was not complicated. There was a row of wooden racks in the corner of the wall, with some undried herbs on them.
Thinking back to the medicine bottle that Jiang Wan had placed in front of him, it should be what this little girl is good at.
On the right is the wood that I saw when I just came in. There must be someone in this family who is good at carpentry.
When he came out after washing, Jiang Wan and Su Yun were dumbfounded.
The person in front of me is not an old man at all, but a young and strong middle-aged man.
He looks not much different from Jiang Zexing, and should be a few years older than him.
"Uncle?"
He chuckled, with helplessness in his eyes.
If it hadn't been mentioned today, he would have almost forgotten his name.
"My last name is Mu, you can call me Uncle Mu."
"Uncle Mu."
Jiang Wan didn't act pretentiously. "I didn't expect Uncle Mu to look... so young."
Mu Hong chuckled, "I was too decadent before."
He hadn't taken care of himself for years, his hair was disheveled, and he was covered in dirt and grime. Combined with the wrinkles on his body, he looked naturally older.
"Uncle Mu, please sit down first."
It was a long time before Jiang Zexing came back from outside.
As soon as he got home, he saw Mu Hong sitting in the yard. He paused and looked again to make sure he was in the right yard.
"Wanwan, this is..."
"Dad, this is Uncle Mu."
Su Yun pulled him over and whispered with his head down.
After knowing that he was brought back by Jiang Wan, she was worried for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
"Brother Mu, is it okay for me to call you that?"
"It's nothing, it's just a name."
After wandering for so many years, it has been a long time since anyone called him so affectionately.
"Brother Mu, since you are in my house, you can stay here with peace of mind. Although my family is not rich, at least you can have enough to eat and not end up living on the streets."
