Chapter 23 Xiaofu



Chen Qiu looked at the child and felt pity for him. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously. The child was stunned, his eyes became a little suspicious, and then he slowly walked to Chen Qiu.

Everyone held their breath and dared not move. Ye Chen pinched his hands tightly, fearing that the wolf girl would suddenly hurt his Qiu'er.

The child walked up to Chen Qiu, stood on tiptoe, touched the teardrops on Chen Qiu's face with his finger, then put them in his mouth and said: "Salty"

But the voice was so childish, it didn't match the look in her eyes at all. Chen Qiu looked at the child whose intelligence was obviously not in line with her age and said to her, "What's your name?"

The child said: "Name... no name."

A middle-aged man holding a key nearby said: "When we saw her, she was with the wolf, so we all called her Wolf Girl."

Shen Qiu frowned and said, "What's the name of this?"

Chen Qiu looked at the wolf girl and said, "I think your face is round and chubby, so cute. People say that people with round faces and chubby cheeks are blessed. How about I name you Xiaofu?"

The wolf girl's eyes immediately lit up, and she kept muttering: "Xiaofu? Xiaofu, good... Xiaofu? Hehehe"

Then she grabbed the locked chain next to her and pulled it hard, and the chain broke.

Then Xiaofu ran out, hugged Chenqiu's waist and said, "My name is Xiaofu, are you my sister?"

Chen Qiu patted her head and said, "Yes, I am your sister. Can you go home with me?"

Xiaofu immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go home with my sister."

Afterwards, Chen Qiu took Xiaofu's hand and walked out of the cave. Ye Chen looked at his hand and followed behind.

Mu Qing came out after paying the money. He wanted to take the opportunity to say something to Mingyue, but Mingyue ran to chase Chen Qiu.

After getting on the carriage, Xiaofu stayed close to Chen Qiu, and Ye Chen was squeezed aside. Chen Qiu used a handkerchief dipped in water to wipe Xiaofu's face. Xiaofu looked at Chen Qiu with bright eyes, no longer vigilant and defensive.

Ye Chen looked at his wife, who was holding the face of the wolf girl named Xiaofu. He was so angry. Even his Qiu'er had never held his face like this.

Moreover, this Xiaofu was named by his Qiuer. Although he had known it for a long time, he could not accept this situation now.

Shen Qiu noticed Ye Chen's gaze, looked at Ye Chen and smiled and said: "Husband, Xiaofu is still a child, still a girl, you are not jealous?"

Ye Chen pulled an ugly smile and said: "I'm not jealous, not jealous at all!"

Seeing that he was about to get hurt, Chen Qiu smiled and said, "That's good, my husband is the best!"

When Xiaofu heard Chen Qiu praising Ye Chen, he immediately bared his teeth at Ye Chen. Chen Qiu immediately coaxed Xiaofu and said, "Xiaofu, be good. He is your brother-in-law and your sister's husband. He won't hurt you!"

Xiaofu tilted his head and said, "Brother-in-law? Husband? What is it?"

Chen Qiu didn't know how to explain to a mentally retarded child, and was afraid that Xiaofu would hurt Ye Chen in the future. After all, Xiaofu had just broken such a thick chain with one hand.

Chen Qiu thought about it and said, "Husband, well, he and my sister are husband and wife, so he is my sister's husband. Husband and wife are one, so he is my sister and my sister is him. We are inseparable. Just remember that he is the same as my sister and he will not hurt you."

Xiaofu looked at Chen Qiu and then at Ye Chen, muttering: "Sister is him, he is sister?"

Suddenly she smiled and said, "Will he be as nice to me as my sister?"

Shen Qiu smiled and said: "Yes, so Xiaofu is not afraid, he will not hurt you."

When Ye Chen heard Chen Qiu's words: "He is my sister, and my sister is him, we are inseparable." His heart immediately felt like it had been sweetened. It turned out that he was so important to Qiu'er. No matter how much he loved his Qiu'er, it would never be enough.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Chen Qiu asked Mingyue and Xing'er to put a bed for Xiaofu in their room. He was really worried about her sleeping alone because she was in a restless mood.

She asked someone to prepare hot water, gave Xiaofu a bath and combed his hair, and asked Mingyue to go out and buy a few sets of clothes according to Xiaofu's size. It was too late to make them now, so he just wore them for now.

He also asked someone to go to the medicine garden to invite Xiao Hang over to take a look at Xiaofu.

Chen Qiu washed Xiaofu from head to toe twice before she was clean, then combed her hair strand by strand. When her hair reached her waist, Chen Qiu did not tie her hair into a bun, but braided it from the roots, and finally divided it into two braids vertically in front of her chest.

After washing up, everyone was surprised to see Xiaofu. Is this still the dirty little kid? She has big eyes, a high nose, a round face that looks chubby, and a red dress. Except for the dark spots, she is a little beauty!

Xiao Hang walked around Xiao Fu and asked Ye Chen: "Where did you pick up this beautiful girl?"

When Xiaofu heard someone praising him, he immediately giggled.

Chen Qiu said to Xiao Hang: "Take a look at her. I heard the people who sold her say that when they first saw her, she was with wolves, but when I heard her speak, she didn't sound like she had never been in contact with people."

Xiao Hang touched his chin and looked at Xiao Fu, then Shen Qiu took Xiao Fu's hand and said: "Xiao Fu, be good, let this brother take your pulse, he won't hurt you!"

Xiaofu just nodded. Xiao Hang put his hand on Xiaofu's wrist, looked at her left hand and then her right hand, then asked Chen Qiu: "When you bathe her, have you noticed that she has started to develop?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he immediately glared at Xiao Hang. Xiao Hang said with a smile: "This is a question from a doctor, so it's useless for you to get angry."

Chen Qiu didn't look at Ye Chen, but answered Xiao Hang: "No, there is no sign of development at all. Do you see anything?"

Xiao Hang didn't say anything, but stretched out his hands and pinched Xiaofu's arms and legs hard. His technique was weird, and Xiaofu giggled and shouted that it was itchy.

After a while, Xiao Hang stopped and said, "She should be about your age. Bone age doesn't lie."

Everyone was quite surprised. Mingyue said quickly, "That's impossible. She looks only about eleven or twelve years old, and she hasn't developed at all. How could she be the same age as Madam?"

Chen Qiu also asked: "Yes, if she is about the same age as me, even if she is not tall, she should have developed a little, but she shows no signs of it!"

Xiao Hang picked up Ye Chen's teacup, drank it all, and said, "This is a vicious method in the martial arts world. When a child is five or six years old, they are soaked in medicine for a long time, until they have been soaked for ten years. When they come out, they are not only strong, but also immune to all poisons."

Xing'er asked, "What kind of medicine could be so powerful? Is it just a soak?"

Xiao Hang said: "Of course not. This method requires breaking all the bones and muscles of a child when he is five or six years old, and then soaking them in medicine to recast them. This process must be repeated until the child can no longer be broken. This process will take at least ten years."

"Because the foundation of the body is damaged, it cannot grow or develop, and will not live past the age of twenty."

"She's grown this big, probably because she didn't soak for the full ten years, or maybe the person who chose her wasn't very good at it, which is why she's grown up and has some wisdom."

Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "This is a group of crazy people. Are there still such people now?"

Xiao Hang shrugged and said, "Of course there are. Children trained in this way are like obedient puppies, but they are more powerful than ordinary death warriors. They only know how to follow orders and have no thoughts or consciousness of their own. It's just that this is expensive and laborious, and even after training, they can only be used for a few years. After a few years, these children will definitely die. They are very strong, but when they come out, they are already at the end of their strength."
