The two were engaged in a daily compulsory program - bickering, when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, they were taken aback, Zhuge Yue immediately stood up, took out a dagger and held it in his hand.
Just about to go out, suddenly there was a bang, and two small figures rushed in, almost pulling down the curtain of the tent!
Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other, then it was Chu Qiao who spoke first, and asked softly, "Little guy, what are you doing?"
Little Xingxing's face was dark, her eyes were red, and she was holding a child who was younger than her. Hearing Chu Qiao's voice, the little girl immediately pursed her mouth, tears fell down, and more and more fell.
Zhuge Yue's face was extremely ugly, and he looked impatiently at the two children who seemed to be rolling in the coal pile, and said in a deep voice: "Who told you to come in? Get out quickly."
"Woooo..." The child who looked only four or five years old suddenly raised his head, his small face was dark, his eyes were big and round, black and white, he looked at Zhuge Yue pitifully, his lips trembled, and his crying sounded like Like a small animal, its chubby little hands crawled on the ground and came towards Zhuge Yue.
Zhuge Yue went into battle to kill the enemy and strategize. He had never been afraid for so many years, but at this moment, he suddenly panicked, pointed at the little one and said loudly: "You, stop, don't come over, I order you, get out immediately!"
"Wow!" The earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods sounded immediately, and the child jumped on the food like a vicious dog, and hugged Zhuge Yue's thigh, tears and snot all on Zhuge Yue's clothes, "Daddy!"
In an instant, Zhuge Yue's handsome face seemed to be congested with blood, fiery red, and his expression could almost be expressed by the words "panicked" for a moment. He looked at Chu Qiao who was also stunned, and Zhuge Yue quickly said: "Who is your father? Let go! Or I will beat you!"
"Daddy!" The little one was not as tall as Zhuge Yue's thighs, although he was small, he was quite strong, hugging him desperately with his hands and feet, hanging on his lap, crying and shouting, "Daddy, Daddy."
Such a small child could probably die with just one kick. Zhuge Yue didn't dare to hit, pushed and couldn't push, finally turned his head and said to Chu Qiao aggrievedly: "I'm really not his father."
He himself didn't know why he had to explain to Chu Qiao, but seeing Chu Qiao's slightly surprised and gloating eyes made him angry.
Chu Qiao smiled back, and felt that this matter was a bit strange in her heart. Seeing that she couldn't find anything from the little one, she turned to look at little Xingxing and asked, "Xingxing, who is he? What's going on here?"
Before Xing Xing could answer, the crying child suddenly turned his head, as if he only found Chu Qiao in the room at this moment. The child pursed his mouth, stretched out his hand to Chu Qiao in aggrieved manner, and yelled, "Mother..."
"Are you a child of Ouyang's family?" In the small tent, four people sat around together, Zhuge Yue looked up and down the luxurious silk clothes on the child, and said in a deep voice.
The child seemed terrified, like a frightened little rabbit. He shrank his head, timidly peeked at Zhuge Yue with the tip of his eyes, then stretched out a small hand, about to pull Zhuge Yue's sleeve, and called pitifully in a low voice: "Daddy..."
"I'm not your father!"
With a slap, the child's hand was knocked off, and the child's mouth shrunk, as if he was about to cry again, but he tried his best not to cry.
Chu Qiao frowned, turned to look at the other child, and said seriously: "Xing Xing, you brought him here?"
Little Xingxing was young, but very clever. Hearing this, he secretly glanced at Chu Qiao, then lowered his head and remained silent.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kick you both out now."
Xing Xing quickly raised his head, blinked his big eyes, and asked childishly: "Then if I tell you, can you drive me out alone?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, her brows relaxed a little, and then she asked, "Xing Xing, don't you know that bringing him will cause trouble?"
"I... I know." The little girl pouted, frowned, and said helplessly, "I can't take him back to my tent, Daddy will tell Butler Lin."
"So you brought him to me?"
The little girl nodded dejectedly, "Yes."
"Do you know each other?"
"We are good friends!" Little Xingxing raised her head, with a serious face like a ghostly talisman, then, she puffed up her small chest, and said solemnly like an oath, "We played together all the way!"
"Daddy..." The child next to him tried to pull Zhuge Yue's sleeve again, and said with pouting, "Mo'er is so hungry."
After being glared at by Zhuge Yue, the child turned his head and looked at Little Xing Xing as if asking for help, but in those eyes, most of them were hungry and at a loss and being bullied, and there was no understanding of the word "friend" at all. .
"Wait a little longer!" Xing Xing patted the child on the shoulder, his eyes were very clear.
Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao were stunned suddenly. This little girl from a servant's family dared to take such a big risk and try her best to save people just because she was playing with her on the road. When the word "friend" came out of her mouth, it turned out to be so firm, so firm that the two adults opposite her were in awe, unable to say a word of rebuttal.
Such reluctance may have long since become extinct in the adult world.
Chu Qiao's face softened, and she asked in a deep voice, "Where did you find him? Where did you hide this day?"
Seeing that Chu Qiao's face softened, Little Xingxing became more courageous, and said proudly, "So many soldiers came last night, I was afraid, so I hid in the meadow behind. Then I saw an uncle, that I know the uncle, he belongs to Mo’er’s family. There is a big bird on his back, I’ve seen it before. I saw him lying on the meadow with blood all over his body, holding Mo’er in his arms. I hugged Mo'er hard and didn't let go, Mo'er was so frightened that he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, his face turned pale, so I dragged him out. When the soldiers left, I took him home."
"Go home?" Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows.
"Well, but mother won't let us enter the house. As soon as father sees Mo'er, he rushes to report it in a panic. I know that if the soldiers find out, Mo'er will be killed like an uncle, so I pull Then he ran off and has been hiding in the back meadow all day today."
Mo'er sat on the ground with his head drooped and his mouth pouted, looking listless, as if he had no idea that the other three were talking about him at this moment. This child is too tired. He has been hiding in hiding for so long, and he was hunted down all the time before. He is hungry and thirsty. At this time, the father in front of him is still very fierce. He was also not interested in listening to these people, and fell asleep in a daze.
"Then why did you bring him to us?"
"I... I..." Little Xingxing frowned, and after taking courage for a long time, he whispered, "Sister is very kind, this... this uncle is very fierce..."
"Uncle?" Zhuge Yue stared, and slapped Little Xingxing's head, "Little guy, don't bark!"
Last night, the Wang family, Jia family, Ouyang family and several other families were all killed. Only this little son escaped by chance. Presumably, the servants of the Ouyang family must have protected him and fled desperately. However, he died on the road before leaving the camp. The little girl found out and hid it. Liu's people thought that the child had been rescued, so they all chased him outside, but they didn't expect him to hide in the outer camp openly. Xing Xing's parents knew that the child was rescued by their own daughter, so they dared not report it.
Chu Qiao sighed and said, "Xing Xing, do you know that it is very dangerous for you to do this?"
"I know," the little girl said with a depressed face, and she might still not be able to figure out why her rich friend fell to this point overnight, she scratched her head and said, "But what can I do? ?”
Yes, what can I do? Do you want her to betray her friend
"So you brought him to us and taught him to call us 'father and mother' to gain sympathy?"
The little girl's head hung lower and lower, and she seemed to know that what she did was disgraceful. Chu Qiao let out a long breath, stretched out her hand to hold Little Xingxing into her arms, and sighed, "What a good boy."
At this time, there was a bang, the child tilted his head, and fell asleep like this, the whole person fell into Zhuge Yue's arms, with his head resting on his legs, the mouth was still drooling, and his stomach Up and down, snoring slightly.
"Get up! Who let you sleep here? Get up and you..."
The child opened his eyes aggrieved, and saw Zhuge Yue's fire-breathing face again. He rubbed his eyes aggrieved, and whispered, "I'm starving to death..."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise of footsteps outside, and the two children jumped up like frightened birds. Like an old hen, Little Xingxing hugged Mo'er who was trembling all over her body, looked around, and found that there was really no place to hide, and finally ran behind Chu Qiao together, pulling her clothes Just squatted down.
Even though they were just tugging at her clothes, Chu Qiao could still feel their panic and fear. The footsteps passed by the tent, but they didn't stop, but walked straight in, obviously not looking for them.
"Sister, I'm going back." Xing Xing said timidly, "I'm afraid my father will talk nonsense, so I want to go back and have a look."
Chu Qiao looked at the stars, then lowered her head to look at the young master of the Ouyang family who was staring at her eagerly, she suddenly made a decision, then lowered her head and said to the child: "If you want to eat, go and ask him."
The child was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhuge Yue in fear, seeing that Zhuge Yue's eyes were not friendly, the expression of fear on his face was even worse. He timidly took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and began to cry with a bang, unable to speak, and couldn't hear what he was saying, only the sound of kowtow after kowtow echoed in the tent. The child kowtowed foolishly, his voice gradually became clear, and he cried out while crying: "Please, please..."
Even a four-year-old child probably knows what kind of situation he is facing. His family was ruined and he was hunted down. Even though he was still so young, he probably knew that his future was not good.
