"Eat slowly"

Cao Yi patted Xiao Deng Ai's back gently.

"Yeah, much, thank you"

After Deng Ai tried hard to swallow it, he thanked him with gratitude.

Cao Yi asked with a smile: "Taoer, tell me what happened before you and your mother were separated?"

Xiao Dengai stopped eating and stammered and told the story.

After hearing this, Cao Yi said, "I guessed right. Your mother mistakenly thought you went to find her and had already followed Liu Yuzhou to the south. Your mother must be looking for you everywhere among the 100,000 people who went south."

When Xiao Deng Ai heard this, he felt anxious and put the unfinished steamed buns in his arms and ran out: "I'm going to find my mother."

"It's too late"

Cao Yi finished speaking.

A faint, dense shouts of killing came from afar, and thousands of soldiers seemed to be coming.

"Cao Army is here"

Little Deng Ai was so scared that he retreated and fell beside Cao Yi.

Cao Yi touched the head of Deng Ai and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Liu, Liu Yuzhou's subordinates said, " said Cao's army might slaughter the city."

Little Deng Ai's body couldn't stop trembling, his eyes were filled with fear.

Comfort is useless!

Cao Yi took back his hand, and there was no way. This famous general who led thousands of troops and was a powerful man in the future was still a young child at this moment.

Suddenly, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped.

"Why is there no movement?"

Little Deng Ai showed doubts.

"It must have been discovered that this is an empty city."

Cao Yi said lightly.

Little Deng Ai was stunned for a while, suddenly got up, pulled Cao Yi's clothes and walked out: "First, sir, hurry up, there is a cellar in the yard next to me, let's hide in, Cao Jun will look for it."

"We can't be found"

Cao Yi reached out to the back of Xiao Deng Ai's somewhat dirty hand and tapped it lightly.

"Oh, it's so comfortable"

Little Deng Ai, who had a faint aura of grass and trees, showed a comfortable expression on his face.

"You seem to have been injured in your brain"

Cao Yi frowned slightly, sat down Deng Aila and sent spiritual energy.

Little Deng Ai was so comfortable that he fell in love with his eyes.

After a while, Cao Yi put down his hand and asked, "Try saying something, see if you still stutter?"

When Xiao Deng Ai heard Cao Yi mention stuttering, he lowered his head and said in a low mood: "When I was a child, I climbed a tree and dug a bird's nest. When I fell from the tree, I fell into a stuttering disease. The children in the village made fun of me and gave me a nickname of me."

"You're no longer stuttering"

Cao Yi reminded.

Little Deng Ai woke up suddenly, and an ecstatic expression appeared on his little face: "I won't stutter, I won't stutter..."

After a while, little Deng Ai calmed down slightly.

"By the way, did you name it?"

Cao Yi asked with a smile.

In fact, he asked clearly. After reading Deng Ai's information, he clearly remembered that when Deng Ai was twelve years old, he followed his mother to Yingchuan and read two sentences in the inscription of the late Taiqiu Chang Chen Shi, "Writing is a worldly model, and acting as a scholar." He was happy to admire him, so he named him Deng Fan, whose courtesy name was Shize. Later, there was a clan with the same name as him, which was changed to Deng Ai.

Little Deng Ai shook his head: "My mother said she went to Yingchuan in the year and defected to an old friend before A's father's death. Then let that old friend help someone."

Cao Yi touched the head of Deng Ai and said, "How about I help you?"

"good"

Little Deng Ai nodded immediately.

He respects this gentleman who doesn't know how to cure his stuttering disease.

"Deng Ai"

Cao Yi spit out two words.

Little Deng Ai's face froze.

Cao Yi said seriously: "If others laugh at you, just laugh at others with your name. People who are ashamed and inferior will not do big things."

Little Deng Ai said in confusion: "But I no longer stutter?"

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Your heart is still stuttering."

Little Deng Ai showed a look of not understanding, and nodded for a while, "Then I will call him Deng Ai from now on."

As the words came, a sound of horse hooves appeared on the street outside the yard.

Little Deng Ai immediately stood up: "They are here, go quickly."

"Don't be afraid, I will take you to wash your face."

Cao Yi stood up and pinched Deng Ai's dirty little face, and pulled him out of the room.

Because of the moon, it is not that dark outside.

Outside the half-closed door, soldiers holding torches and riding horses flashed from time to time.

Cao Yi pulled Xiao Deng Ai to the right side of the gate, a cramped place where there was a well.

"Go, go..."

Little Deng Ai, who was so scared that his face turned pale, urged in a low voice.

Cao Yi poked out a hand, shook the wooden handle, and the wheel drove the rope to rotate, making an unpleasant squeaking sound, and the water bucket slowly fell down.

"gentlemen"

Little Deng Ai was almost crying.

With a bang, the courtyard door was knocked open.

Six strong soldiers holding spears walked in.

"Shino's people have all run away, what are we snatching?"

"Second uncle, isn't the Prime Minister's strict orders to not allow him to rob him this time?"

"Swish, what do children know about every family?"

"Except for the battle in Xuzhou, we didn't snatch it any time we snatch it."

"No robbery! We are still Qingzhou soldiers"

"That ban does not include our Qingzhou soldiers"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"But"

"Nothing, but, tsk, I really miss the time in Xuzhou, as long as I can get the most needed food for the Prime Minister, I can grab it as much as I want, and kill it as I want."

...

A buzzing sound of water!

Very abrupt.

The Qingzhou soldiers chatting and laughing suddenly became quiet.

Swish!

Six spears pointed at Cao Yi and Deng Ai next to the well.

"gentlemen"

Little Deng Ai pulled Cao Yi's sleeve nervously, and his thin body kept trembling.

Cao Yi raised the water bucket from the well, pressed against the edge of the well, tilted part of it, and said, "Come on, wash your face."

Deng Ai seemed to have not heard it, standing blankly.

"There are two more people who haven't left"

"Take the valuable things"

"Let him wait for me to cook some hot soup first, and eat some dry and hard things along the way."
