Chu Xi originally intended to spend another night in the mountains, but she couldn't bear the eager look in Xiao Shitou's eyes, so she slowly set off with the two little ones. It didn't matter, she could settle down well no matter where she went.
There is no other way. We can bring the essential artifact space for home and travel. The world is so big that there is no place we cannot go...
With Xiao Shitou pulling them in front, the two of them and the cat walked casually and freely.
Suddenly, her sensitive ears heard faint crying sounds coming from behind, and a voice that seemed familiar.
"Sister, wow, am I too stupid? I can't do anything right..."
"It's okay, you were just careless, just be careful next time."
“But it costs money again…”
"It's okay, Qiu. We still have some money left from the herbs we sold last time..."
“Woo… woo…”
Because of Xiao Shitou's small steps, they were quickly caught up by the people behind them.
Chu Xi turned her head slightly to the side and unexpectedly saw the two girls she had rescued walking slowly, one carrying the other on his back.
The two sisters who came up later also clearly saw Chu Xi in front of them...
"Heroine! Heroine, it's Heroine!"
"benefactor!"
Looking at their sincere and excited eyes, Chu Xi felt a rare ripple in his heart.
"Are you going to the mountains? What's going on? Is this little sister injured?"
Hearing the question from the heroine, Aqiu, who was lying on his sister's back, started to cry again.
"Wow...it's all Qiu's fault. He can't help, and he costs money..."
Chu Xi frowned when she heard this, and then looked at the patched clothes on the two sisters. She knew that they must be two sisters living in poverty.
Sister Chuxia hurried to comfort her younger sister.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. Just be more careful next time! Don't cry..."
Although she felt sad, she had to be strong, to support the family, and to watch her sister grow up!
"My benefactor, my name is Chuxia, and this is my sister Aqiu. We live in the mountain village down below..."
"Yes, yes, lady, come home with us. We are not far from here and will be there soon."
Little Shitou was now in high spirits, and looked straight at Chu Xi with longing eyes. Even the little black cat raised its head and looked at Chu Xi with bright eyes.
"Okay, excuse me for bothering you. I happen to have some essential medicine in my bag. I'll show it to you when we get home..."
"By the way, please call me Chu Xi. Don't call me heroine or benefactor. It sounds awkward."
"Okay, okay, Sister Chu."
Several people walked slowly down the mountain. Although it didn't look far, due to the patients and small stones, they naturally couldn't speed up.
The sky was getting darker, but when they arrived at a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Chu Xi was still a little surprised.
She had already imagined the situation to be very bad, but she had not expected their living conditions to be so harsh.
In a small courtyard fenced with wooden sticks, two dilapidated thatched houses even let in light from the sky. A low kitchen built of stone, also covered with thatch, looked like it would collapse at any moment...
The room was even more spartan, with hardly any decent furniture. Coming to the main room, the only two stools were already somewhat crooked and loose...
The house never sees sunlight all year round, and it is dark and damp. The wall paint has long since peeled off and the walls are also uneven.
My sister Chuxia seemed a little embarrassed. Our family's situation was really not suitable for entertaining guests, and we didn't have anything to serve...
"Sister Chu, please sit for a while. I'll boil some water for you..."
Aqiu began to talk to Xiao Shitou with great interest, as if he had forgotten the injury on his foot.
"Little Stone, Little Stone, what a cute name! My name is Aqiu, you have to call me Auntie..."
It seemed as if he was much happier because he was of a higher generation.
Little Stone, who seldom interacted with outsiders, was also very happy at this moment, as if he was not tired at all after walking on the mountain road for an entire afternoon. He was very excited to communicate with Aqiu and was also very interested in the various items in the room.
He kept chattering and asking questions, wanting to touch many things, but was stopped by Chu Xi with a look... This is not his home.
Chu Xi was about to go forward to check on Aqiu's injuries. She still had a good impression of the two little sisters. The elder sister was strong and brave, and the younger sister was innocent and cute.
"ah……"
A shrill scream came from outside, scaring everyone.
