Yin Jin'an weakly opened her eyes and saw two people standing in front of her.
The first thing I saw was a little child, about three or four years old, wearing tattered clothes, with his hair in a Taoist bun, and carrying a very inconspicuous cloth bag.
The person holding his hand was a richly dressed young man.
Yin Jin'an immediately perked up. Damn it, I'm starving. I don't care if he's your second uncle or not. As long as I get food, what does it matter if he's your second uncle?
Looking at the little child, he said with a half-smile, "Whether I am your second uncle or not depends on him."
He nodded slightly to the young nobleman.
The young Taoist priest squatted down and said to him, "You are my second uncle, so I will give you a steamed bun."
"..." Yin Jin'an was very hungry, but not to the point of fighting with a child for a pancake. She said to him, "Tell this rich guy to bring me some food."
The young Taoist priest looked at the nobleman and asked, "Is he my second uncle?"
Young Master: "Yes!"
The young Taoist priest took out two steamed buns wrapped in lotus leaves from his backpack and handed him a water pouch: "Second Uncle, you can eat these."
Yin Jin'an blushed, but didn't care about anything else. He took the steamed bun and ate it in big bites. It was so damn delicious!
I ate two steamed buns in one go and drank some water, and I felt my energy gradually returning.
Seeing that he seemed to have regained some spirits, the young nobleman said to the young Taoist priest, "Now that we've found your second uncle, your senior brother will head back first."
The young Taoist priest nodded and said very seriously, "Okay, you can go now."
Yin Jin'an immediately shouted, "Hey, you can't leave, you have to take this child with you."
The young nobleman stood before him, his face expressionless, and said, "She came for you; I've completed my task by delivering her."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
Yin Jin'an immediately became anxious: "Hey, what's wrong with you? What kind of person is this... I don't even know if I can survive, and you dump a little beggar on me, are we going to starve to death together?"
The young Taoist priest said, "Second Uncle, I'm not a beggar, my name is Jiutian."
“Your name is Jiutian, but you’re just a beggar. Look at him, he’s dressed in fine clothes, while you’re dressed like a beggar. He’s obviously picked you up and now he’s dumped you on me. He’s free.”
"I'm really not a beggar," the young Taoist said patiently. "My master told me to come down the mountain to find my second uncle."
"No, who are you? How did I become your second uncle?"
"You're my second uncle!"
"I don't have any sisters, so where would my nephews come from?"
"But you are my second uncle!"
"I'm very poor!"
"It's okay, I don't eat much!"
"..."
Yin Jin'an really wanted to kick down the wall he was leaning against, but unfortunately he was not only hungry but also had a broken leg.
"You hurry up and go after him, go after that rich man. I'm too busy taking care of myself to pick up a niece. Go look in the yard, there's not even a mouse!"
"I don't want mice, I'm here to help my second uncle."
"You... I'm telling you, I'm already starving and thirsty anyway. If you come with me, I won't be responsible if you starve to death."
"They won't starve to death."
Jiutian's voice was so sweet and endearing that it melted people's hearts. Yin Jin'an was furious, but she couldn't bring herself to punch a little kid to death.
I simply closed my eyes and ignored her.
When Aunt Zhang brought Yin Jin'an another bowl of porridge, she saw Jiu Tian sitting next to him and asked in surprise, "Whose child is this?"
Yin Jin'an: "I don't know him!"
Jiutian: "He is my second maternal uncle."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Is this your nephew?"
Yin Jin'an: "No, he's a beggar."
Jiutian: "I'm not a beggar, he's my second uncle."
Yin Jin'an didn't want to argue with her anymore.
Aunt Zhang sighed as well. Jin Yi was already sick and starving to death. What would happen if another mouth to feed came along?
Aunt Zhang gave Yin Jin'an a bowl of porridge and a hard flatbread. Yin Jin'an didn't stand on ceremony; he had to eat it. At this time, talking about saving face would be considered being a scoundrel.
Only by surviving can one repay the kindness of someone who gave them a meal; otherwise, their half-bowl of porridge would have been wasted.
While he was eating, Aunt Zhang asked Jiutian, "Xiaoxiao (a local term of endearment for boys), where do you live? Can your family help your second uncle?"
Jiutian proudly said, "My home is on the mountain."
Sigh, judging by his clothes, he's a poor country bumpkin.
"Can your family help your second uncle?"
“I can help my second uncle,” Jiutian said proudly. “I can tell fortunes.”
"Pfft~" Yin Jin'an spat out a mouthful of porridge. "Which beggar taught you this trick? If you get caught, they'll beat you to death!"
Jiutian said patiently, "Second Uncle, you have to believe in Jiutian. Jiutian really can tell fortunes."
She pointed at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, let me calculate it for you?"
Aunt Zhang thought it was just a funny little kid, so she told Jiutian her birth date.
With a quick calculation, Jiutian said, "You are destined to have two sons and one daughter. Your eldest son will first be betrothed to a woman who is an orphan who grew up with her older brother. She is very beautiful, but she is not a good match for you."
Aunt Zhang heard that everything Gao said was correct: two sons and a daughter. The woman the eldest son described was indeed an orphan who grew up with her older brother, and she was indeed exceptionally beautiful. The eldest son adored her.
But not a good match? Aunt Zhang hurriedly asked, "Why not a good match?"
"Because her heart is with her parents' home, she takes everything from them. If you marry her, your whole family will become her parents' home's free long-term laborers."
Aunt Zhang's face turned deathly pale!
She really hadn't inquired about this properly.
"Xiao Jiutian, what about my other two children? How are they?"
