The little girl smiled with twinkling eyes and obediently climbed onto his back. Along the way, she chatted away like a happy little bird, following the two of them. After walking for a long time, she asked, “Big Brother, are you tired? Yue’er can come down and walk by herself.”
“No, I’m not tired. I can still carry you,” Hao’er said, shaking his head.
“Then Yue’er can help Big Brother wipe off all the sweat~” Seeing that perspiration was dripping from his forehead, she used her sleeve to wipe it away.
Feeling the small person’s clumsy hands wiping his forehead, Hao’er’s eyes flashed with warmth as he said, “If you’re hungry or thirsty, just let Big Brother know.”
“Mmm hmm, we got it!” The two nodded in agreement.
They rested and walked along the way, stopping and starting. As it grew dark, they saw a small village.
“There’s a small village up ahead!” Yue’er excitedly pointed ahead.
Hao’er and Chen’er also smiled. They had been walking all day, following the mountain path, and it wasn’t until now that they saw any signs of human habitation.
“Let’s go and find out, and ask people what this place is,” Hao’er said, carrying Yue’er on his back and leading Chen’er around a corner and up a small mountain path towards the small village.
It was just about dusk, and in this small, remote mountain village, dozens of households were cooking dinner. Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the aroma of the food filled the air.
When they arrived in the village, the three children, who had been eating barbecued meat for a few days, couldn’t help but light up when they smelled the delicious food wafting from each household.
“It smells so good!” Yue’er sniffed with her little nose, her face full of longing as she inhaled the aroma of the food.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Big Brother, let’s sit here for a while,” Muchen said, pointing to a nearby stone.
“Alright,” Hao’er said, setting her down. He said to the two, “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go and ask ahead.” After instructing the two not to run off, he walked towards the houses in front.
“Huh? Where did these children come from?” A woman in her thirties walked out, splashing the water she was carrying in her hands in front of the door, and saw the three children at the village entrance.
This place is remote, and usually very few people come here. The dozen or so households in the village all know each other well and live close together. At this moment, upon hearing the woman’s words, someone in the neighbouring house poked their head out to look.
“Really, there are children? Where did they come from? Why haven’t I seen any adults?” Another woman in her forties chirped in, stepping out and looking left, right, all around. Seeing that there were no adults, just the three children, she couldn’t help but feel strange too.
Hao’er had not had much contact with people before, and coupled with his cold personality, he looked indifferent for his young age. However, he was good-looking and had an outstanding air about him, so it was clear at first glance that he was no ordinary child.
Gradually, the villagers who gathered around included women, men, and the elderly. In the end, an old man with a wooden walking stick in his hand stroked his beard and looked at Hao’er, asking, “Where are you from, my boy? Where are the adults?”
Hao’er’s gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on the old man. He bowed formally and said, “Grandfather, my Brother and sister and I got separated from our family. Can we rest here for the night?”
“Separated?”
The old man was slightly surprised. Looking at the child, who was less than ten years old, he was surprised by his good manners. Every move he made was even better than those of the Young Masters of those noble families he had seen before. At that moment, he said, ” Of course, that’s no problem.”
