The old man, exhausted, fainted again.
Little Fu Bao blinked her eyes. She really wanted to save people, but she was too small to move them.
"Little Fu Bao, if you call me a nice name, I'll help you save him, okay?"
The little dumpling had a soft, sweet voice that could melt anyone's heart: "Aunt Chen, you're the best person."
"This old man is so pitiful, let's help him."
[Story progress 40%]
Chen Yunyun agreed, and with one hand holding the umbrella, she effortlessly lifted the old man up with the other.
"Let's go back to your home."
The rain was heavy, and the mountain roads became muddy.
Little Fu Bao held up his pants with both hands and followed Chen Yunyun step by step into the village.
The rain was heavy, and those who worked in the fields went home early, so there were few people on the village roads.
Chen Yunyun led Xiao Fubao back to Lao Xu's house. When they stood at the gate, Chen Yunyun put the old man down.
She said affectedly, "Oh, I'm so tired, I can't move it anymore, I can't move it anymore. Xiao Fubao, why don't you ask your family to carry him inside?"
She pretended to be exhausted, leaning lazily against the door.
Little Fu Bao's grape-like eyes darted around. Aunt Chen had been carrying people so fast just now; in the words taught by Brother Changting, she was as swift as the wind.
She doesn't look tired at all.
Xiao Fubao was extremely confused, but she still listened to Chen Yunyun and knocked on her own door.
Hearing footsteps coming from inside, Chen Yunyun slipped away as fast as she could, as if something terrifying was chasing her.
Only Xiao Fubao and the old man lying on the ground remained, quietly waiting.
Lin Li opened the door, and when she saw a wet old man next to Xiao Fubao, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Little Fu Bao, my little darling, where have you been? Did you get caught in the rain?"
“It was raining so hard just now, and you didn’t come back. Your grandma and your dad went out to look for you.”
"Who is this person? Why is he lying in front of our house?"
Little Fubao finally had a chance to interject, "Auntie, this old man collapsed on the roadside, and I and the neighbor..."
Before Xiao Fubao could finish speaking, Lin Li interrupted her, "Alright, alright, it's raining heavily outside, come in quickly, or you'll catch a cold."
"You are very precious now."
Seeing that Xiao Fubao was standing still, Lin Li sighed.
Their little baby is indeed lucky, but sometimes he does things that seem a bit silly.
This person was dressed in rags and didn't look like someone from a wealthy family. Most importantly, he was lying on the roadside, so he was probably starving.
Bringing him back means we'll need an extra pair of chopsticks at home...
Lin Li complained inwardly, but she didn't say these words in front of Xiao Fubao.
"Alright, alright, you can go in. I'll move this old man in too."
Little Fu Bao smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, "Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Li gave a noncommittal "hmm" and then prepared to lead the old man inside.
Hiss—don't let his thin and weak appearance fool you, this old man is actually quite heavy.
Lin Li's face turned bright red, and it took a lot of effort to finally move him into the main room.
After being given some hot water, the old man gradually began to regain consciousness.
Xiao Fubao rescued the man, and Xiao Fubao busied herself with taking care of him. First, she found him a handkerchief to wipe the water off his face and body, and then she found a blanket to cover him up.
Lin Li watched from the side, her eyes trembling. This cotton was only fluffed last year, and Xiao Fubao was really willing to give it to a beggar to use as a blanket.
When the old lady comes back and sees this, I wonder if she'll turn green with anger.
The rain lasted for more than two hours, and the old man woke up just as the rain stopped.
His eyes met those of the child in front of him as he opened them.
"Grandpa, you're awake. How are you feeling? Are you cold?"
A child's voice is the purest and most innocent, easily making people let down their guard.
Zhou Guoliang went to the countryside alone to inspect raw material factories. Unexpectedly, he hadn't exercised for a long time and was getting old. After walking for two or three hours on mountain roads, he collapsed by the roadside due to exhaustion.
He usually has a serious expression when he's working, but now, lying in a farmhouse courtyard with a cute little dumpling in front of him, Zhou Guoliang feels completely relaxed.
Zhou Guoliang still has some memories from before he lost consciousness. He saw a woman with a child saving him.
"Little girl, did you and your mother save me?"
Xiao Fubao shook her head and said honestly, "It was Aunt Chen from next door who found you."
"Grandpa, why are you lying alone by the roadside? Don't you have any family?"
I heard from my brother Changting and my grandmother that the past few years were particularly tough, and many people didn't have homes and slept by the roadside.
This old man must also be homeless. Little Fu Bao feels so sorry for him.
"If you really don't have any family, you can move in with us, and I can give you my eggs."
Little Fu Bao's favorite food is eggs, and the little guy's face clearly showed how reluctant he was to part with them.
Zhou Guoliang was amused by her reaction; such an innocent and kind child was just too lovable.
Besides, Zhou Guoliang is secretly a doting father to his daughter!
He is over sixty years old this year, but unfortunately he has four sons, and even his sons' children are all boys.
Zhou Guoliang's wish to experience the joy of having a loving daughter by his side has become a pipe dream.
I never expected to experience this in the countryside.
Zhou Guoliang was very fond of Xiao Fubao. They chatted for a short while, and Zhou Guoliang was amused by Xiao Fubao several times.
