Su Nanxi nodded, "Okay! I'll eat something to fill my stomach."
Thinking that the child probably hadn't eaten enough in a long time, I didn't dare to give him too much greasy or hard-to-digest food.
I took a look around and casually roasted some greens; it's good to eat more greens.
Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of this little brat's filial piety, she should do something in return.
This little brat could totally go with the group; it's much better to go together than stay here!
With everyone gone from the village, a child not only has to support himself but also take care of two people who are unable to care for themselves. This is a huge challenge even for an adult.
Leaving might offer a glimmer of hope, but staying might not. The worst outcome would be that none of us could survive!
But this little brat insisted on his own idea, simply because he couldn't bear to abandon him!
This child doesn't seem stupid; his filial piety and kindness must come from the bottom of his heart!
His family was unwilling to take in two people who couldn't take care of themselves, perhaps out of a lot of helplessness, but his choice was genuine and not out of helplessness!
Su Nanxi felt that there was nothing she could do to help, so she did her best to fulfill the little kid's wish!
He wants to have a full meal!
It was already late at night, and it wasn't good to eat too much, so Su Nanxi didn't give him much to eat. If he had come earlier, she could have given him a bowl of porridge. Right now, all he could eat was meat and vegetables.
For someone who has not eaten meat for a long time and whose stomach is dry, eating a lot of greasy food all at once is very bad.
The child still wanted to eat, but Su Nanxi didn't give him any more, and he didn't dare to ask again.
"Here are two small pieces of roasted meat and some vegetables. Take them back for your family to try! Oh, and here's a bamboo tube of water. Take that too! It's probably hard to find clean water here, and we don't have much. It's late, go home now!"
Su Nanxi carefully wrapped it in banana leaves and stuffed it into Tie Dan's hand.
Tie Dan held it, not daring to move it, afraid that if he refused, it would fall out. His eyes instantly filled with tears, and his nose twitched, looking like he was about to cry.
Su Nanxi urged him to leave quickly, saying there was no need for thanks and not to get too excited, as their meeting was fate!
Tie Dan pursed his lips tightly and nodded emphatically, "Mmm!"
Then he walked back, looking back every few steps.
Su Nanxi felt a lump in her throat and casually said, "We'll be making porridge early tomorrow morning, you can come and get a portion to take home."
The small, thin figure paused for a moment, then gave a nasal "hmm".
As if reluctant to leave, she slightly turned her head, but dared not look, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she walked away resolutely.
Su Nanxi looked at the figure disappearing into the night and sighed.
Mo Qinghe was playing with the flashlight. He turned into a curious child, looking at it endlessly. His eyes were full of curiosity, and his forehead was practically covered with a million questions!
Hearing his wife sigh, he finally turned his gaze over and asked anxiously, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Old Xu seized the opportunity and snatched the flashlight from Mo Qinghe's hand. Then he turned his back to Mo Qinghe, clearly not wanting to return it!
hey-hey!
I finally got it!
It was his turn to study it carefully!
This amazing thing is just like that loudspeaker; they're both great things!
He also wanted to be the first to touch it, so that when they talked about it later, he could proudly say that he had already played with it!
How could such a precious item be missing from his possession!
So, after getting his hands on it, Old Xu examined it carefully while also keeping an eye out for anyone else taking it away!
Mo Qinghe's hand suddenly went empty. He didn't even need to think about who did it, so he wasn't angry.
Who else could it be?
Besides that old man, there's no one else!
He prefers the strange and unusual things and they catch his eye the most!
Whenever there's something good, everyone's eager to play with it!
You can rob Old Man Xu, but you can't rob Mo Qinghe!
Stealing your master's things? That's unacceptable!
As long as Old Man Xu brings up this identity, Mo Qinghe really has no choice. So, let him do as he pleases, let him play if he wants!
Seeing Old Xu acting like a child, Su Nanxi suddenly thought of a phrase: "old rascal"!
Hmm, it looks pretty convincing!
Does getting older mean you become more playful?
Xiao Wu and Xiao Han were also very curious and went over, but they didn't dare to reach out and grab it. They just watched and didn't move!
The villagers were curious, but they knew it wasn't their place to touch it, so none of them got close.
Su Nanxi turned her gaze away, looked at Mo Qinghe beside her, and tilted her head, saying, "What could be wrong with me? It's just that the scenery reminded me of the past! It's nothing!"
Mo Qinghe carefully examined his wife and, seeing that her tears didn't seem to reflect much emotion, felt relieved.
This was not their fault. If anyone is to blame, it is God. If it weren't for this abnormal situation, probably so many people wouldn't have left their homes and embarked on journeys to unknown destinations!
My wife is a very perceptive person, so she should understand and not overthink it.
Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. That's true. She's not a savior; she was just expressing her feelings.
As dawn broke the next day, everyone got busy.
Many people don't know what happened last night because they were all asleep!
Nothing really happened in the latter half of the night; it was very peaceful.
When everyone had finished their work and were about to serve the porridge, they noticed a child standing in the corner of a house not far away. Those who didn't recognize the child were all startled!
And then things immediately exploded.
They all thought the village was deserted, but suddenly someone appeared!
Peeking out from the corner of the earthen wall, the child stared intently in this direction. This was already a bit creepy, but what was really scary was that the child was all dark-skinned and had messy hair that looked like a bird's nest on his head. At first glance, it would really scare you half to death!
My child, your gaze is too direct and intense!
Can't they just tone it down a bit?
It's so bright in broad daylight, it's scary!
Su Nanxi had no choice but to come out and explain. After listening, everyone felt a little sorry for Tiedan and became less hostile and wary of him.
So, Tie Dan got the porridge without any trouble. He took a big plate, which was quite clever of him!
It's obvious that he wanted to buy some to take back to his family.
Su Nanxi gave him an extra handful of rice so he could cook more porridge.
The village chief didn't ask why, and just did as he was told, and that's how he finally understood what was going on.
After getting what he wanted, the child happily carried it away.
The village chief casually remarked, "Sigh, this child won't survive here either!"
Su Nanxi countered, "Village chief, you want to take that child in, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately shook his head, "No! I'm already exhausted from taking care of everything, how could I possibly have the energy! Sigh! If I had the means, I might consider it!"
After speaking, he looked meaningfully at Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi pretended not to see it; there was nothing she could do about Tie Dan's condition.
But there are always some people who can't see things clearly.
Mrs. He leaned closer and said, "The Mo family is quite capable!"
