"That's it, that's it."
I just couldn't understand why the adults were so focused on the Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion at first, but then became so infatuated with Li Dabao.
So that's how it is!
No wonder they look so alike; they are actually the same person.
After Li Dabao disappeared, the third young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion appeared.
"Oh dear! What an idiot I am!!!"
The slave suddenly realized what he had done and slapped his head.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
"Fine, fine, so I'm the only one who's only just realized it now! How annoying."
The slave staggered out of the courtyard.
Night has fallen, and not a single star can be seen in the sky. It might rain soon!
Li Baobei sat on the soft couch, looking out the window, lost in thought.
Why can't I enter that dream anymore lately?
She longed to see how He You had grown up, to empathize with him, and to walk with him through those despairing days.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Bizhu immediately picked up a snow-white cloak and draped it over her shoulders.
Bizhu said with concern, "Miss, it's getting late, you should get some rest!"
"Um!"
Li Baobei's weak and powerless reply.
Bizhu blew out the excess candlelight, closed the door, and went out.
Only a single, faint candle flame remained lit in the room.
A gentle breeze slipped in through the crack in the door, causing the candlelight to flicker softly, creating an ethereal scene.
Li Baobei drifted off to sleep, and there he saw He You again.
very nice!!!
She was so happy to finally see him again, the little boy she couldn't let go of.
In the dream, He You is drinking water by a stream.
The weather had already entered early winter, and the little boy was only wearing a tattered cloth garment.
He was covered in mud, and his face was black. He used his small, reddened hands to scoop up the icy stream water and wash his face.
A fair, delicate face was revealed, and it was still as beautiful as ever.
Her small face showed a hint of childishness, but also a subtle sense of perseverance.
Because of prolonged hunger, he became extremely thin and lost the baby fat that children have.
He now looks shorter than his peers, his arms are extremely thin, as if they would break with the slightest touch, his cheekbones still protrude, and his ten fingers are like a bunch of withered bamboo twigs. Because he looks so thin, it feels like he would be blown away by the slightest breeze.
He left the stream, trembling and shaking.
Li Baobei was speechless with emotion.
She just wanted to follow him quietly.
He You slowly walked towards the inhabited area. A house gradually appeared in front of him, and under the eaves was a large, fierce-looking yellow dog, tightly chained up.
It saw He You slowly approaching, stared intently at him with a fierce hostility, barking incessantly while revealing its sharp, white teeth.
He You noticed what appeared to be food in the dog bowl next to it.
Their eyes lit up with excitement.
He hadn't eaten for three days, and he felt that he might die if he didn't eat soon.
In an instant, my body, which had been weak, seemed to regain its strength.
The little boy picked up a stone from the ground, held it high, and tried to scare the yellow dog.
The yellow dog was indeed frightened and barked as it backed away.
He You cautiously stepped forward to take the dog bowl. As soon as his hand touched the bowl, he immediately took it and hugged it tightly to his chest.
He instantly forgot about the dog behind him. When the yellow dog saw that the man in front of him was not as fierce as before, it immediately went up and bit his calf.
Little Xiao hugged the dog bowl tightly in his arms and struggled to run out of the dog's reach. He happily ate the food, completely forgetting the glaring teeth marks that still bled from his calf.
No!!!
Tears welled up in Li Baobei's eyes again; she was truly on the verge of collapse.
Why? Why?
Why did God treat him like this? He was just a child without parental love! Why did God treat him like this?
Her eyes were blurred with tears; her heart was breaking.
The people inside heard the dog barking frantically outside, so they opened the door and came out. They saw He You squatting in the corner, wolfing down his food from the dog bowl.
The woman who came out had a sharp and mean face, with high cheekbones, and looked like a person who only cared about profit.
The woman immediately started cursing, "Where did this beggar come from? Get out of here!"
As he spoke, he picked up the broom beside him and headed towards He You's direction.
A man walked out calmly from the side. The man had a cunning face and a vacant look in his eyes. He looked like a scoundrel addicted to gambling.
The man saw the little beggar in the corner, frowned at first, and then his eyes gleamed.
"etc!"
The man spoke slowly.
The woman, who was about to raise the broom to strike, stopped what she was doing.
She turned her head blankly to look at the man.
The man said in a lewd tone, "Come inside for a moment."
The couple turned and went into the room, and soon the woman came out with a big smile on her face.
She walked over to He You with concern and said, "Little one, are you hungry? Come on, come inside with me, I'll make you something delicious."
He You's eyes flickered.
It has been more than two years since I spoke to him so gently.
He nodded blankly. The woman pulled him along, and he unconsciously frowned, then quickly looked away.
A moment later, the woman brought several steaming hot sweet potatoes to He You.
