Chapter 68 Qiuqiu is a fool~
Xiaowu's crying gradually stopped.
He stretched out his hand and embraced his brother who was standing in front of him.
"Xingxing, you said... Xiaoshi wants us to live?" This was another explanation that Xiaowu had never thought of.
But the magical thing is, just by hearing Xingxing say this, he really felt that: So this is the real use of the little stone.
"Um."
Xingxing coaxed softly: "Brother, don't cry, drink some water~"
He handed the small bottle of spiritual spring water to his brother.
It was not until this moment that Xiaowu vaguely realized: all the changes in this room were related to his younger brother!
"Isn't it a ghost?" He took the familiar vial and asked blankly.
Xingxing also asked in confusion: "Brother, what the hell?"
Who is the ghost? Where is the ghost? What does it look like?
The atheist child was full of curiosity.
Xiao Wu: "...No, Xingxing, where did you get these things?"
Xiaowu was a little nervous.
Under the limitations of this era, everyone believes in the existence of ghosts and gods, but believing in them is one thing and actually encountering them is another.
How could the child he raised with so much effort suddenly take out something magical?
Xingxing nestled back into her brother's arms, and the two little ones wrapped themselves tightly in their cotton coats. Hearing her brother's doubts, the little one yawned sleepily and replied slowly: "It's originally mine, brother, I'm so sleepy..."
He had just slept for a short while when he was awakened by a dream. This was the first time in a long time that this body was full, and he couldn't help feeling drowsy in the warm embrace and quilt.
The stars are not very spirited.
Not to mention lying to Xiaowu.
Stars don't like to lie.
Xiao Wu: "...Go to sleep, I'll keep you company."
"Hmm~" The little dirty bag rubbed against the big dirty bag that was hugging him. The two dirty kids snuggled together, and no one would disturb their good dreams tonight.
Except for the balls.
When Xingxing was about to fall asleep again, Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask a little guilty: "Baby, are you telling the truth?"
What?
The stars conveyed their silent doubts.
Qiuqiu started to hesitate: "That's what you just said, Little Stone allowed you and your brother to survive, so do you not hate the original owner anymore? Or are you not going to go back to Anqing Marquis' Mansion to recognize your relatives?"
After asking, Qiuqiu added awkwardly: "But the mission we received from this small world is to stop Li Jinyuan from snatching the fortune of the new dynasty..."
In this case, it is inevitable to confront the original owner.
But if Xingxing didn’t hate the original owner and didn’t care, would this mission be more difficult to accomplish?
This is also the reason why Qiuqiu was stunned when he heard those words before. He really struggled for a long time whether to tell the mission.
Little did it know that the star, which was about to fall asleep, actually became a little more awake after hearing its words.
In the darkness, the kid took advantage of his brother not being able to see, reached out and grabbed the ball of light floating in front of him, stared at it for two seconds, and then commented: "Ball, you're a fool~"
Qiuqiu: “???!”
Why is the ball attacking? !
It glowed angrily.
A soft smile flashed in Xingxing's eyes.
"The little stone allowed Xingxing and his brother to survive. What does it have to do with little Koi?" Xingxing asked slowly.
Qiuqiu was stunned for a second, then he was shocked and suddenly realized!
Yes!
Xingxing just said that it’s okay to lose the small stone, he didn’t say anything else!
In the sudden light, the child's curved eyes slowly narrowed and he whispered, "The stars are fair, and so must fate."
Qiuqiu: “…”
Such a familiar sentence.
Such a familiar word.
Let it think about what the stars did the last time they said this word?
The protagonist, a kid, was beaten up and started crying.
It also erased all the adult memories in the protagonist's body, turning the protagonist into a real child.
"..."So why do I feel that stars would swallow their anger and face unfair fate in this world?
Xingxing is not a soft-hearted human cub.
Thinking of this, Qiuqiu inexplicably felt much more relaxed!
Just like it said, the original plot made it so angry that it was about to explode. When it thought that something belonging to the stars was exchanged for a piece of wheat cake, it wanted to travel back to that day and give fate a beating!
Before Xingxing came into this body, the protagonist exchanged the key for the cannon fodder to go home and reunite with his relatives.
After Xingxing came into this body, the protagonist took away Xingxing's mission progress.
Thinking about the fate of being beaten up by Xingxing in the future, Qiuqiu contentedly played an episode of Tom and Jerry as a hypnotic animation for Xingxing.
The room was filled with silence, and the wind and snow, carrying with them a biting cold, threatened to penetrate between people's bones.
But for the two little ones snuggling together in the house, the wind and snow could no longer harm them at all tonight.
Xiaowu listened to the gradually slowing breathing beside him, turned over quietly and looked at his brother who was sleeping beside him.
In fact, he was malnourished and had severe night blindness. After opening his eyes, he could not see anything except darkness.
But he followed his brother's breathing, holding his brother in his arms with his little hands, and his eyes were always fixed on the darkness in front of him, as if he would be able to see his brother's appearance clearly if he looked like this for a long time.
Xiaowu actually has a lot of doubts in his mind.
Why does my brother have magical things? Why can my brother take out quilts and fur coats out of thin air? Why have I never heard of the tomatoes my brother gave me? Why...
But all these unspoken “whys” were swallowed back by Xiaowu.
Of course he wants to know the answer, who wouldn't be curious?
But for Xiaowu, what is more important than these answers is that his brother is still alive and warm in his arms. That is enough.
It is a satisfaction that even a hundred thousand whys combined cannot match.
As Xiaowu thought about it, his pair of big eyes, which were too thin to be visible, curved silently.
Maybe his younger brother is a treasure sent to him by gods.
Just like when he had just sent the old beggar away not long ago, his heart was empty and he didn't know where to go home, his younger brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere on his way to meet the old beggar.
And tonight, when his heart was full and his body was about to collapse, his brother took out so many things that did not exist in the mortal world out of thin air.
Xiao Wu subconsciously hugged his brother who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He didn't doubt at all that his brother was a ghost who came back to life. In his young and naive mind, his brother was his baby, a fairy boy who came down from heaven. It was just that he was too stupid and weak, so he turned such a cute and fair brother into a dirty little beggar.
The younger brother didn't blame him, he hugged him, called him brother, and said it didn't matter...
Xiao Wu slowly closed his eyes. The exhaustion that came after life and death finally overwhelmed him completely the moment he let down his guard.
Sleeping with my brother in my arms.
Woke up at dawn with my brother.
Always be with my brother as a family.
Buddha bless the stars.
-
Outside, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
A ray of warm light slowly pierces through the dark clouds and sprinkles on the white earth.
Xingxing slowly emerged from his warm coat and was about to rub his eyes, but he stopped abruptly when he lowered his eyes and saw his dirty little hands.
The child stared at his dirty little hands and the equally dirty, tangled hair hanging in front of him, pursed his lips, and began to sit on the already slightly wet quilt in a daze.
Qiuqiu also slowly woke up, and seeing this, he flew to Xingxing and rubbed his little face.
"Good morning, cub~"
It flew a little circle around the dirty little friend and gave a sincere suggestion: "Boy, you and your brother should take a good hot bath."
Xingxing nodded sullenly.
He wanted to take a shower, too.
But...Xingxing only knows how to use the hot water function of modern technology, and does not know how to boil water by burning fire in this era.
"But don't rush." Qiuqiu comforted the child softly: "Your current situation is still very dangerous. You should first take the jewelry and gold that Uncle Hu prepared for you, and find a way with your brother to pawn them in the city and exchange them for silver bills. Then buy a house in the inner city to live in. Only then can you settle down in this world."
"But we can do these slowly. The most important thing now is to survive in the outer city and slowly get out of the sight of those beggars."
Two children, two dying children at that.
They had long been the food reserves that the beasts had been eyeing. They could be seen everywhere, and every pair of eyes was fixed on the two little guys.
Maybe not far from the house, right where the stars fell last night, there are already ragged homeless beggars following two lines of small footprints, just to find two fresh corpses of two-legged sheep that have died not long ago, and then happily wash them with snow water and cook them into a pot of supreme steaming meat delicacy.
But Qiuqiu wasn't particularly nervous.
Once upon a time, when Xiaowu was 5 years old, he could use his natural supernatural powers to protect a baby who was less than one year old. Now Xiaowu is 7 years old. He had a good sleep, ate a full stomach, and drank two small bottles of spiritual spring water.
I can't say that I can protect the stars impervious to any attacks, but at least I won't watch them being snatched away by others.
What's more, Xingxing is now the most difficult one among the two children.
Qiuqiu only hopes that these guys, whose brains are dominated by appetite and who have long lost their humanity, can be more rational and not actively bump into Xingxing, let alone let Xingxing see their dirty and impatient little thoughts.
But no one could hear Qiuqiu's prayers.
There are many vicious people who are lured here by the delicious meat bait.
Some are pale and skinny, while others are big and strong. You can tell at a glance who is eager to try something and who has already enjoyed similar delicacies.
Under the gaze of a pair of gloomy, hungry, ghost-like eyes, the tightly closed wooden door of the hut was opened little by little from the inside with difficulty.
Amid their increasingly excited and heavy breathing, a small, weak child slowly walked out.
Ha, it’s still alive and not dead.
The one that died last night could only be another, bigger lamb!
The scene before them was even more perfect than they had expected!
