"Brother..." After tying up everything, Leng You was about to run forward to help Xiang Wentian pull the sled, but suddenly his body became empty and he was picked up by Xiang Wentian.
He just spread the cotton pad on the blue bricks, and then carried Leng You to sit on it.
That was how they came here. Xiang Wentian pulled the sled and let Leng You sit on it.
"Sit tight, let's go!" Xiang Wentian pulled up the sled.
"Brother, it's too heavy. I'll help you pull it." Leng You said as he was about to jump onto the sled.
"Sit still!" The voice was not harsh, but it did not allow anyone to interfere.
"Oh!" Leng You sat back obediently.
Although these things are heavy, putting them on the sled and sliding on the hard snow is really nothing for Xiang Wentian.
Xiang Huaixin, Bai Changpu and Wen Jiuyue were busy building a house. When they saw Leng You and the others, they hurried over to meet them.
After hurriedly unloading all the things, Wen Jiuyue's face was full of smiles, and she had a glimmer of hope in life.
…
Early in the morning on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, when Xiang Wentian came to Wen Jiuyue's side, Leng You noticed that his expression was a little tense.
"Brother, are they the ones who came to our house?" Leng You had roughly guessed the reason.
"...Yes." After a while, Xiang Wentian nodded slightly.
When Wen Jiuyue heard this, tears suddenly flowed out.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiang Wentian stroked Leng You's head.
"I'm not afraid." Leng You narrowed his eyes to hide the bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.
She was worried about scaring Wen Jiuyue.
"My Youyou, what if they beat you again?" Wen Jiuyue hugged Leng You tightly in his arms, his body trembling a little.
"I won't give them this chance again." Leng You's voice could no longer conceal the coldness that could penetrate into the bones.
"Let's go after dinner." Xiang Wentian's eyes were deep, but there was a hint of worry hidden in them.
"Okay." Leng You nodded and sat down at the table as calmly as usual.
"Youyou, listen to Grandma Wen and protect yourself, okay? If they hit you, run to Grandma Wen right away and don't take it anymore.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t give you food, you can come back secretly to eat, and Grandma Wen will save food for you every day.
They let you…”
"Grandma Wen, do you believe me?" Leng You looked up and looked straight into Wen Jiuyue's eyes.
"......Yeah!" Facing Leng You's dark eyes that were deeper than an adult's, Wen Jiuyue nodded unconsciously for some reason.
"We're done eating, let's go!" After dinner, Leng You jumped off the kang.
Xiang Wentian took her in his arms as usual.
"Youyou, are you leaving like this? Don't you want to take some clothes with you? You need to wear a coat!" Wen Jiuyue's heart, which had been a little relieved, began to tremble again when he saw Leng You was about to leave. Even his voice changed a little.
Leng You was wearing the cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers that Wen Jiuyue had made for her overnight using her only old clothes when she first arrived at Wen Jiuyue's house. On her feet were another pair of rabbit-skin cotton shoes also made by Wen Jiuyue, but the outside was made of dark gray polyester and there was no pattern sewn on them.
Because she was worried that Wen Jiuyue would feel bad seeing her climbing up and down the valley in new clothes, she would try to wear older or dirtier clothes every time she entered the valley.
Today was the same. She had originally worn this outfit in preparation for going to the bottom of the valley with Xiang Wentian, but it just happened to make it easier for her to do what she wanted to do next. If she dressed too well and was seen by those people, it might affect the implementation of her next plan.
"No, I will come back every day." Leng You shook his head.
"Youyou..." Seeing Leng You being carried out by Xiang Wentian, Wen Jiuyue felt as if her heart was being plucked off and she covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
"Grandma Wen, wait for me to come back." Leng You turned around, put his chin on Xiang Wentian's shoulder, and looked at Wen Jiuyue with a firm gaze.
"Oh! Grandma Wen is waiting for you to come back, you must hurry!" Wen Jiuyue nodded vigorously.
"Okay!" Leng You waved his hand and let Xiang Wentian carry him out the door.
"Youyou, you must protect yourself! Wuwuwu..."
The raging north wind brought Wen Jiuyue's heart-wrenching cry clearly into Leng You's ears.
Leng You: “…”
The sour taste makes the nose feel a little uncomfortable.
"Be careful not to get hurt by them."
Because of the strong wind, Xiang Wentian pressed Leng You's little face directly into his neck, so his low voice went straight into Leng You's ears, and there was a wisp of it that seemed to sneak into some unknown place.
The touch of the baby skin on his neck that seemed to melt his heart, and the pleasant smell of milk mixed with a hint of grape flowers that was blown continuously into his nose by the wind, made Xiang Wentian feel a little panic.
This was something he had never experienced in the previous fifteen years of his life. Even when he learned that his father Xiang Huaixin had been demoted to a remote and isolated mountain village, he did not have the slightest fear. He firmly believed that his father would eventually be rehabilitated and return home.
But this time it was different. Although the plan was carefully arranged, he was only an eight-year-old child after all. No matter how mature his mind was, it would be difficult for him to defeat an adult, let alone a cunning villain like Leng Tiezhu.
When he thought of the suffering the little guy had endured in the past, his heart tightened. Now, he could not bear to see the little guy suffer even the slightest harm.
He never thought about why, nor did he realize that everything about Leng You touched his heart.
"You know my current skills." After being carefully taught by Xiang Wentian for more than a month, Leng You is now quite confident in her small body.
"Although the acupuncture techniques Uncle Bai taught you are used to save people, they can also allow you to protect yourself at critical moments. You..." Xiang Wentian's words were stuck in his throat. He didn't know how to say it without misleading the child.
"Good methods are reserved for good people. To deal with evil people, we must use more evil methods." After coming back to this world again, Leng You felt that her blood was cold now. Compassion is reserved for those who are worthy, not those who will take her life.
"Don't be stubborn when you encounter something you can't handle. I will protect you in secret." Xiang Wentian had told Leng You before, and now he was afraid that she would forget, so he said it again.
This is actually not his character at all.
"Yeah!" Leng You nodded at Xiang Wentian's neck.
The soft cheek rubbed gently against the edge of Xiang Wentian's chin line, which was already beginning to show angularity.
"Be good!" Xiang Wentian gently stroked Leng You's little face.
From afar, the two of them had seen four figures shivering in front of Xiang Huaixin's cellar.
Leng You's pupils shrank suddenly and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
She knew that this was a fear that had been deeply ingrained in her bones and even in every cell from her previous life, and it was just a conditioned reaction at this moment.
"Youyou..." Feeling Leng You's sudden tremor, Xiang Wentian's heart also tightened suddenly.
