Tang Shi wanted to laugh, what a smart boy.
"We live in Xia City, and we wanted to come out to try our luck to see if we could hunt prey, but we didn't expect to meet you." Tang Shi didn't want to reveal his identity for the time being, fearing that the children would be even more nervous if they knew their identities. The whole Xia City was Worship them like gods, but don't scare the children.
However, the child seemed to have heard the overtones of the words and immediately said vigilantly: "This prey is ours. If you want to snatch it away, I will definitely fight you to the death!"
The child was so hostile that it was impossible to ask questions.
Tang Shi thought for a while and took out the two roast ducks on the small grid. The two roast ducks were placed on tin foil. They were at the temperature just out of the oven. They were very popular as soon as they were taken out and the aroma was overflowing.
"Are you hungry? Uncle, there is food here. Can we sit down and eat and chat?" For such a fragrant roast duck, not to mention the two children, even Tang Shi himself was drooling from greed.
Sure enough, both children were so salivated by the aroma of roast duck that they stared directly at the two roast ducks in Tang Shi's hands, eager to pounce on them.
The younger brother, who had been hiding behind his elder brother, couldn't resist the temptation of food. He leaned forward and wanted to walk over, but was grabbed by his elder brother. He rolled his eyes and said, "You, please give us the food first, and then we will consider it." , do you want to believe you..."
The older children's attitudes have become a little looser and they are no longer as determined as they were at the beginning.
Tang Shi smiled and said, "Okay, come and get it."
This is the first step in building trust.
Unexpectedly, the older child refused straight away, "No, you put the food on the ground, and people retreat to... retreat to... there."
The boy pointed to a tree not far away and asked them to stand there, probably because he was afraid that they would suddenly attack him.
Tang Shi did as he was told, put the two roast ducks on the snow, and walked to the tree over there with Yanxu.
After they stood up, the older child whispered something to his younger brother, and walked out vigilantly, like a small animal that came out to look for food but was afraid of danger. When he walked in front of the roast duck, he suddenly bent down and hugged him. He picked up two roast ducks, turned around and ran back to the cave at such a fast speed!
The older boy looked back at Tang Shi and Yanxu, and saw that they were standing under the tree without moving, so he felt that they were trustworthy.
"You can come here, but you can't go into the cave. Just ask whatever you want." The elder brother gave one of the roast ducks to his younger brother.
The younger brother couldn't wait. He picked up the roast duck and took a bite of it, whether it was hot or not. He couldn't help shouting: "It's delicious, brother, this is delicious." The older brother touched his younger brother's head and looked at his younger brother. The food tasted so delicious that he swallowed hard and resisted eating the roast duck in his hand. He wanted to be careful and couldn't finish both at once.
Tang Shi and Yanxu got permission and moved a little closer.
"Are you brothers?" Seeing the older child taking care of the younger one, Tang Shi guessed that they should be brothers.
Sure enough, the boy nodded and admitted that they were brothers.
"What are your names?"
"My name is Wu Lun, and my brother's name is Wu Xi."
"how old are you?"
"I am 8 years old and my brother is 6 years old."
"Where are your parents? Are there any relatives here?"
When asked this question, his brother Wu Lun was silent for a moment and then said: "We don't have a mother. Our father used to be an awakened officer and later died. There is only us and grandma."
How could the families of the fallen soldiers end up in this situation
For children like Wulun and Wu Xi, Xiacheng has a separate shelter specifically to raise these children who have become orphans after the war. However, they said that they have a grandmother, so they should not be orphans. Xiacheng has no idea about such children. Families also receive subsidies, but...
"Where's your grandma?"
Tang Shi seemed to ask about the child's pain again. Regardless of being silent again, even Wu Xi, who had been eating roast duck next to him, stopped when he heard this question.
He held it in for a while, and then said loudly with tears in his eyes: "My grandma was starved to death by the eldest aunt! The eldest aunt didn't give us food, saying that grandma was old, and eating any more would be a waste! She even put us and grandma's The house was robbed and they said our house had floor heating but theirs didn’t!”
When Tang Shi and Yan Xu heard this answer, they couldn't help but frown.
"When did this happen?" Yanxu rarely asked. Under his rule, such a thing would happen, but he had no idea!
Wu Xi was stopped by the question, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "... How many days has it been...?" As he said this, he looked at his brother, who couldn't tell the time clearly.
Wu Lun pursed his lips and said coldly: "What happened last month."
last month? —It’s time for Yanxu to decide to give subsidies to the elderly!
Yanxu's brows furrowed even more tightly.
It turns out that this is the case. The decision he made was originally made with good intentions. It is not easy for the elderly to survive until now. Since the family cannot afford it, Xia Cheng will take care of him this winter, and the needed food will be distributed from Xia City’s inventory. Every family just didn't expect... They didn't expect that in order to save food, they actually... dared to starve the elderly to death and swallow the rations! It's absolutely abominable! If such a person is not severely punished, he will be unworthy of this position!
Tang Shi knew that Yanxu was angry, but now was not the time to be angry. It was still important to solve the problem of the two children.
With such a terrible aunt, I expected she would not pity these two poor children. However, they did not have nowhere to go. They could also go to a shelter.
"Why didn't you go to the shelter? There are a lot of kids like you there."
Wu Xi looked at the two adults pitifully, "We didn't dare to go. They said they would throw us to death. My aunt beat me. My brother got angry and gave her a knife, and then we ran away..."
Tang Shi sighed. It was a miracle that the two children could survive to this day in such a cold weather.
Tang Shi looked at Yanxu, seeking his opinion.
Yanxu nodded in agreement. It was fate that they could meet these two children here.
Tang Shi spoke in a gentle tone, "Wulun, Wu Xi, we met here and we are destined to be together. We want to adopt you two brothers. Are you willing to come with us?"
The two children were so surprised that no one would want to adopt them!
Nowadays, every family is in a difficult situation. They wish they could only have one person in the family. Who else would burden the family by adopting an unrelated child at this moment? !
Seeing that they were silent, Tang Shi added, "This winter has just begun. You two children will freeze to death if you live in a place like this. If you don't want to be adopted, you can come with us and we will take you." Go back to Xia City, okay?"
Wu Lun was hesitating, but Wu Xineng's eyes were shining. He wanted to go back to Xia City and live in a warm house. He didn't want to live in a cave. It was so cold here. Every night, even if he lit a big fire, it would be very cold. It was cold. He couldn't sleep, he was hungry, he was cold, and he didn't want to be here.
"Brother..." Wu Xi stretched out his dirty little hand and pulled Wulun's clothes corner, trying to get him to agree.
Wu Lun looked up at them, "You... why do you want to adopt unrelated children? Don't you have any children of your own?"
Both of them are good-looking, don’t they have children of their own
Tang Shi smiled and said, "If you agree, you will be our biological children from now on. I am Tang Shi, and this one is Yan Xu. The two of us...can't have children of our own."
When Wu Lun heard these two names, his eyes suddenly widened. His bright black eyes were wide open!
Wu Xi's expression was even more exaggerated, even her mouth was rounded!
Even if they are children, they all know the names of Tang Shi and Yan Xu. Their names are comparable to gods to the human race! "You... you are really..." They couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that they would meet the legendary husband and wife here. If it were really them, they would really not be able to have children... No, no, that's not the problem now. !
Wu Lun's little chest kept rising and falling with excitement, and he exhaled a breath of white mist. This kind of mood was definitely felt when he finally met his idol after worshiping him for a long time.
Tang Shi smiled and said, "It's us, are you willing to come with us?"
Wu Lun didn't respond yet, Wu Xi's little head kept tapping, obviously willing to follow them.
Wu Lun would not agree so easily. He calmed down from his excitement and felt that it was wrong no matter how much he thought about it. The head of state and his wife were not staying at the head of state, so why did they come outside the city? And there were no guards around, just the two of them, and on foot!
People with such status should be cheered and supported wherever they go.
The news that Tang Shi and Yanxu left Xia City was not announced. Only a few senior officials knew about it, and even less so Wulun, who had been staying outside the city, did not know because he had experienced too much and his mind was much more mature than his peers.
Then, like a young adult, he said firmly: "Where is the mount of the head of state? I have seen the mount of the head of state."
Tang Shi laughed, this was a test for them.
"Red Winged Dragon!" Yanxu called out.
The red-winged dragon that had been waiting in the distance suddenly ran over. Such a big guy did not dare to bring it over for fear of scaring the two children. Unexpectedly, they used this to test whether they were the real heads of state. Husband, you are such a cautious little guy.
"Brother, look! It's so big! It's red!" Wu Xi shrank behind Wu Lun in fear and exclaimed.
Wu Lun was also startled, and his dirty little face turned pale.
Sure enough, it's red!
In fact, he has never seen a red-winged dragon. He has only heard people say that the head of state's mount is red and its name is red-winged dragon. It seems to be true.
"Do you still doubt our identity now?" Tang Shixiao asked.
Wu Lun shook his head in embarrassment and excitement, his face tense.
Wu Xi's reaction is very direct. He laughs when he is happy and cries when he is sad. He doesn't want Wu Lun to be so precocious.
Wu Lun lowered his head and whispered: "If you want to adopt us, of course we will be happy, but can you agree to us a condition?"
"What conditions?" It was Yanxu who spoke this time.
He was very satisfied with Wulun's performance. It happened that he had discussed with Tang Shi before and wanted to adopt two children in the shelter so that they could inherit the blood of the ancestors of the human race and the blood of the gods. Unexpectedly, he met such a perfect match here. Seriously, it’s hard to say it’s not fate.
"I want to avenge my grandma, please, the head of state, must punish the evildoers!" Wu Lun's eyes were firm, filled with hatred for the uncle's family who killed his grandma and robbed his house.
Yanxu nodded, "This matter is my responsibility. I will send someone to investigate this matter."
Wu Lun then breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Head of State!"
Tang Shi and Yanxu stretched out their hands to the two children, Wu Xi ran over happily, while Wu Lun carefully placed the roast duck on the ground, turned around to collect the fur in the hole, and wanted to take it away together. These were all things he and his brother He couldn't bear to throw away the things.
Tang Shi and Yan Xu didn't rush him, they both waited patiently.
A month later, news came from the Head of State's Mansion that the Head of State and his wife had two sons!
A legitimate son of the same bloodline!
Even Tang Shi and Yan Xu did not expect that Wulun and Wu Xi's physiques would be so suitable for inheriting their bloodlines.
After recuperating the bodies of the two children, he obtained their consent and exchanged their blood with the Holy Spring of Light.
His elder brother Wulun inherited Yanxu’s divine bloodline.
His younger brother Wu Xi inherited the bloodline of the ancestor of the human race in the Tang Dynasty.
From now on, these two brothers will be personally trained by Tang Shi and Yanxu and become their heirs.
Yanxu promised to thoroughly investigate the case of Grandma Wulun. When he returned to the Headquarters, he asked Jin Jue to send people to investigate. It didn't matter. It turned out that many families were like this. The food distributed to the elderly was really eaten. The old man didn't say much, and almost everything was divided among the whole family. If the circumstances were serious, he would be sentenced directly!
Tang Shi and Yanxu went out for a trip, and in addition to bringing back the two heirs, they also "brought back" a large amount of food and cotton-padded clothes.
This winter will never be so difficult again.
With this year's buffer, next year will definitely be better, and every year after that, it will only get better and better...
