Chapter 171 You can also call me Ah Xin...
Xiao Mo heard the noise and immediately sat up from the bed.
He picked up the shovel beside the bed, carefully opened the door and walked out of the yard.
If it was a thief, I would secretly chop him down with a shovel!
It was already late at night, and the moonlight was spreading across the courtyard, casting a faint glow over everything.
The noise came from the kitchen.
With the help of moonlight, Xiao Mo lightened his steps and walked towards the kitchen carefully step by step.
The "thief" did not close the door, but left the wooden door half-open.
Leaning against the door frame, Xiao Mo looked inside cautiously.
"Um?"
Looking at everything in the kitchen, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned.
In the kitchen, Xiao Mo only saw a "boy" who looked no more than nine or ten years old.
This "kid" had short hair, wore shabby and dirty clothes, and was covered in mud and dust, as if he had just crawled down from the mountains.
This "boy"'s face was also covered with charcoal, and there was even some clumps of mud in his hair.
【The little girl has appeared before the host. 】
Suddenly, the voice of Bai Shishu appeared in Xiao Mo's mind.
"She is that little girl."
Xiao Mo was a little surprised.
to be honest.
If Bai Shishu hadn't reminded him, Xiao Mo really wouldn't have realized that she was a woman.
After all, which homeless child isn't thin? And most of her face was painted black, so it was impossible to tell what she looked like.
But her eyes are very impressive.
This reminded Xiao Mo of the first time he met Qingyi in his first life.
Qingyi looked like this back then, and her eyes were also very beautiful.
The only difference was that Qingyi's eyes were full of vigilance at that time.
Her eyes were extremely clear, as transparent as the ice springs on the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountains.
It seemed that no matter what happened, nothing could taint her clear eyes.
She looked at the leftovers kept in the pot of cold water and kept swallowing her saliva.
The little girl looked very hungry, her throat kept rolling and she reached into the pot several times.
But every time the little girl was about to touch the food, she immediately pulled her hand back, repeating this several times, and she seemed to be struggling inside.
Struggling with whether or not I should steal other people's food.
Finally, the little girl held her left wrist with her right hand and shook her head vigorously.
After taking a deep breath, the little girl jumped off the wooden chair and prepared to leave the kitchen.
But when she turned around and raised her head, she was suddenly startled.
A person was looking at himself through the gap in the wooden door.
Since he has been discovered, Xiao Mo will no longer hide.
He opened the kitchen door completely and walked towards the little girl step by step.
The little girl kept backing away, and in panic she picked up a branch from the kitchen, pointing it at Xiao Mo with both hands.
At this moment, Xiao Mo read fear in her eyes, but more of it was confusion.
Xiao Mo guessed that it was because she could read other people's inner thoughts, know their joys and sorrows, and have a general idea of what was going on in her heart.
After all, most fears come from the unknown.
But she met herself, and because of the Book of the Hundred Worlds, she could not see any of her inner thoughts.
This unprecedented unknown made her feel real fear and confusion in her heart.
Every time Xiao Mo took a step forward, the little girl would take a step back.
Finally, Xiao Mo took out the unfinished bowl of rice from the big pot on the stove, and handed a pair of chopsticks to the little girl: "Do you want to eat it? If you do, I'll give it to you."
The little girl glanced at the rice in Xiao Mo's hand, then looked at Xiao Mo and couldn't help swallowing.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo"
The little girl's stomach made noises.
But the little girl still didn't move forward and was still hesitating.
Xiao Mo put the bowl and chopsticks on the stove and took a few steps back.
After a while, as if she was sure that the boy had no ill intentions, the little girl walked forward, carefully picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat bite by bite.
She ate very quickly, but her mouth was small, so every bite filled her cheeks.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Xiao Mo drew a bowl of water from the water tank and placed it next to her.
Before long, the little girl had finished the whole bowl of rice and water, and her belly was bulging.
"Are you full?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile, trying his best to make the little girl feel more friendly and let her know that he had no ill intentions.
"I'm full." The little girl nodded. "Thank you, you are a good person."
"In the Western Regions, being a good person is not a good thing, right?"
Xiao Mo shook his head and muttered to himself, as if talking to himself.
"Why didn't you eat secretly just now?" Xiao Mo raised his head and asked curiously, "Anyway, you don't know that I discovered you."
"Sister Zi said that stealing is wrong. Although I was very hungry at that time, that was your meal. If I ate it, you would have nothing to eat." The little girl said seriously.
"Sister Zi?" Xiao Mo was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such a sensible and kind person in the Western Regions. "Then where is your Sister Zi?"
Listening to Xiao Mo's question, the little girl lowered her head:
"I don't know either. We lived in a cave, but two days ago, when I went back, I found that Sister Zi and the other friends were gone. I kept looking for them and walked around the mountain for a long time, but I couldn't find them..."
"So you found this place? You haven't eaten for two days?" Xiao Mo asked.
The little girl shook her head: "I ate some fruit."
Xiao Mo: “.”
"How about this? I happen to be alone anyway, so you can stay here for a few days and we can find out about your sister Zi together. How about that?"
Xiao Mo persuaded, his tone full of sincerity.
"Otherwise, you won't be able to find it if you wander around alone, and you'll probably starve to death. Besides, what if your sister Zi comes looking for you just like you did?"
"No, no, no." The little girl shook her head. "Sister Zi said that we can't accept charity from others for nothing. I can't eat your rice for nothing."
"You're not eating my rice for nothing." Xiao Mo thought for a moment, "You usually help me wash clothes, cook, and give me a hand, and I'll give you food. How about that?"
Wangxin lowered his head, thought seriously, and looked a little conflicted.
Xiao Mo was not in a hurry, but just waited patiently for her answer.
Finally, Wang Xin held her hands to her chest and said nervously, "Okay, I... I promise you... but you... you are not allowed to bully me..."
"Don't worry, I won't bully you..." Xiao Mo said with a smile, "My name is Xiao Mo, what's your name?"
"Ah Xin."
The little girl blinked her eyes.
“My name is Jiang Xin.
Sister Zi calls me Ah Xin.
You can call me Ah Xin too."
