Chapter 56 A Deaf-Mute

Wei Zhen thought that a child was easy to coax, but he was totally wrong.

He put the gift in his hand at the door and was about to leave when Li Xiaoya called him, "Wait."

Wei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you figured it out?"

"Can you feed chickens and pigs?" Li Xiaoya asked him.

Wei Zhen had a bad feeling and said, "No."

Li Xiaoya said: "If you don't know how to learn, go now."

"Me? Learn to feed chickens and pigs?" Wei Zhen had never heard such a ridiculous order in his life.

But at this time Ning Heng had already walked out of the house slowly: "Hurry up, I'll teach you."

Ning Heng walked back as he spoke. When he passed by Li Xiaoya, he said to her, "Good sister, you know how to love your brother Ning and lighten his burden."

Wei Zhen was very angry. He looked at Li Xiaoya and reminded her in a deep voice, "It will do you no good if you make me angry and leave."

"Then go ahead." Li Xiaoya said straightforwardly.

Wei Zhen could only persuade her in another way: "Do you know what kind of fortune you will miss?"

"Well, that's what my dad always said to people who looked down on him. In the end, my dad took their money and ran away."

“…”

Wei Zhen immediately cursed Li Xiaoya's damn father who ran away a thousand times in his heart.

Otherwise, how could a little girl, at such a young age, have already learned to be wary of everything?

"Are you still feeding?" Li Xiaoya asked Wei Zhen.

Wei Zhen's mouth twitched: "Hey."

What else can he do?

In order to complete the task, the sturdy man had to wear a suit and learn how to feed chickens and pigs with a domineering expression on his face.

This feeding lasts for two days.

Li Xiaoya squatted outside the pigsty, frowning: "The pigs won't eat."

Wei Zhen was covered in dirt and always felt like he smelled like shit. It could be said that he had never suffered such a great punishment in his life. Even if he was fighting mercenaries abroad, he shouldn't be feeding pigs here. At this moment, he had to explain to Li Xiaoya: "I feed the pigs normally."

Ning Heng looked at him with disgust: "Is it because this man's face is so ferocious and hateful that even a pig can't eat if it looks at him for two more times?"

Wei Zhen: “…” He really couldn’t stand it anymore.

[This is so funny. How sassy was this guy before? ]

[Li Xiaoya single-handedly made Mr. Sheng's life more and more comfortable, and all the housework was outsourced]

[I don't understand, since he is here to look for his relatives, why doesn't Lai Siu-ya just follow him? ]

[You can't just believe whoever says it. You are not as smart as Lai Siu-ya.]

[1. At least her mother's family should come to pick her up in person. Now, there is only one subordinate, which makes people feel that their family is not sincere in taking her back.]

[It’s better not to leave. Let Xiaoya finish recording the show before leaving.]

[Yes, yes, finish recording before leaving! ]

The audience shouted silently in the barrage.

At this time, Sheng Yuxiao had already borrowed a car from the program crew so that he could take Li Xiaoya into the city to see a veterinarian.

Li Xiaoya reminded Sheng Yuxiao, "There is a veterinarian in the village, and it's cheap."

Sheng Yuxiao stuffed her into the car without saying anything: "I checked the weather forecast, it's going to snow, let's buy two pieces of clothing on the way."

Ning Heng quickly squeezed into the car: "I'll go too, I'll go too."

Even Xu Ruying was bored and thought that since she was in the county town, she could just go back home.

Just in time... Li Xiaoya leaned against the window and said to Wei Zhen, "You stay at home and look after the house."

Using him as a watchdog? That's really rude. Wei Zhen was speechless, but he still responded respectfully.

It snowed heavily on the day we drove into the city.

Li Xiaoya didn't have much expectation for buying new clothes. Instead, she was a little worried: "Once it snows, the manure pond will freeze."

Ning Heng's expression cracked: "Ah? This thing can freeze?"

Li Xiaoya nodded: "Yes."

Ning Heng asked a stupid question: "What happens if you freeze?"

"There will be no way to discharge sewage or go to the toilet."

"What should we do then?" Ning Heng asked again.

"Every day we have to clear the snow, wash it with hot water, and then clear some more."

"Qing, Qing, go?" Ning Heng's voice was trembling.

"Well, it can be transported to the fields, so that the land will become fertile next year. After winter, every household will do this."

"Well, can he handle the man in the black suit by himself?" Ning Heng thought to herself that this man came at the right time, otherwise it would be my turn!

Li Xiaoya thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say."

As soon as these three words came out, Ning Heng immediately looked at Sheng Yuxiao: "Brother Sheng, it's not that I don't behave like a human being, it's that I have a trauma from the cesspool. Can I go home now?"

Sheng Yuxiao didn't even bother to look at him: "What's the hurry?"

Ning Heng cried bitterly: "No, brother, I really can't do this. Look at me like this. It's so easy for me to fall into the pit again."

Sheng Yuxiao hooked his shoulder, and the two of them huddled together, whispering something to each other.

When the car stopped in the county town, Ning Heng got off first and said without looking back, "Brother Sheng, I will definitely accomplish my mission!"

Li Xiaoya looked at Ning Heng's back as he walked into the snowstorm and couldn't help asking, "Why did he leave?"

"He went back to the city to help me with something." Sheng Yuxiao said lightly, and got out of the car holding Li Xiaoya. "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold. I'm used to it."

Xu Ruying also left, and in a blink of an eye, only the two of them were left.

Sheng Yuxiao first went to find a veterinarian and asked the program crew to help take the baby back, and then he took Li Xiaoya shopping in the county town.

"One should be left to pay." Sheng Yuxiao frowned.

Li Xiaoya touched his pocket and said, "I brought the money from selling mushrooms last time."

Sheng Yuxiao shook his head: "What can you buy with that?"

However, after walking down the street, Sheng Yuxiao didn't see a single coat that he liked.

They are all incredibly ugly.

"Let's go to the mall and have a look."

"I can't afford the ones there." Li Xiaoya is very careful about the money in his pocket.

"What are you afraid of? We can still owe you money."

"Ah? Is this still possible?"

"Yes, of course." Sheng Yuxiao thought that his face should be well-known in the county now. "It just so happens that the person behind Wei Zhen will soon be unable to sit still. When he comes to Lijia Village to pick you up in person, you can put on your new clothes."

Li Xiaoya nodded slightly.

Sheng Yuxiao couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you believe me so much?"

"Well, it's just a letter."

Sheng Yuxiao paused and said, "Look, there's a KFC. Let's go in and buy you an ice cream cone. Let's go."

KFC was noisy and crowded with children and adults.

The adults asked their children kindly, "What do you want to eat?"

The child shouted: "Family bucket!"

The adults advised: "You can't eat that much."

"No, no, I want to eat!" The child started rolling on the ground.

This way of parents getting along was very new to Li Xiaoya. She couldn't help but take a few more glances, as if she had absorbed the taste of happiness from other people's brief conversation.

"The cashier counter is very crowded, just wait for me here." Sheng Yuxiao didn't have much money in his pocket, but it was enough to buy an ice cream cone.

He picked up Li Xiaoya and placed her on a high stool by the window, then pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed toward the cashier counter.

The staff members had difficulty carrying the cameras and were squeezed to the ground.

Li Xiaoya sat on a high stool, but felt like she was placed on an island, away from the crowd.

The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. To avoid the snow, more and more people went into KFC. The streets gradually became sparsely populated.

There was a person who did not hide from the snow.

It stands out on the street.

Li Xiaoya looked through the glass window.

The man was wearing a dirty white coat and holding something wet by snow. He kept grabbing passers-by and asking them something.

But his posture of asking was strange.

He waved his arms vigorously, his body movements were exaggerated...

Is he a deaf-mute?

Li Xiaoya thought blankly.

Probably because Sheng Yuxiao's uncle mentioned that one of his mother's brothers was mute. So Li Xiaoya inevitably paid more attention to this person.

The people he caught were all in a hurry to avoid the wind and snow, and their movements of pulling back their arms became more and more rough.

The man lost his balance and fell to the ground.

But he soon got up again.

At this moment he seemed to be keenly aware that someone was looking at him.

He turned around and looked at Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya's eyes met his briefly.

Then the man suddenly ran towards Li Xiaoya.

Because the snow was wet and the road was slippery, the man fell twice. Finally, he ran to the glass window and stared at Li Xiaoya through the window.

Li Xiaoya really wanted to give him a piece of paper to wipe the snow and stains off his face.

But there's glass between us.

Li Xiaoya let out a light breath and avoided his gaze a little uncomfortably.

But this man suddenly ran to the door of KFC, pushed it open, rushed in, squeezed through the crowd, and didn't care about the countless complaints... He ran straight to Li Xiaoya, pinched Li Xiaoya's chin, and lifted her face up.

The man seemed almost frozen.

His fingers were cold, stiff, and strong.

He opened his mouth twice and said "ah ah", but no sound came out.

Li Xiaoya shuddered instinctively and was about to break free.

At this time, Sheng Yuxiao came back, pushed the man away, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"

The man was pushed backward by the great force and fell to the ground.

The people around were also startled and began to distance themselves.

The staff was also panicking. As soon as they squeezed over, Sheng Yuxiao scolded them: "Are you blind? Didn't you see that a psychopath ran up to Li Xiaoya!"

Li Xiaoya quickly grabbed Sheng Yuxiao's hand and said loudly to comfort him, "I'm fine! Sheng Yuxiao, I'm fine!"

As she spoke, she looked at the person who had fallen to the ground.

The man raised his head from the ground, still staring at her stubbornly, and then shed tears.
