Li Jingyi was much taller than the boy next to her who was only a few months younger than her. She stacked the boxes together, and then began to clean Baicaotang, quietly, as if she had repeated these actions ten thousand times.

all over.

The little boy behind her stood blankly for a long time, as if he suddenly felt that he was in the way but didn't really want to leave. Then, after being stunned for a long time, he secretly picked up the small broom next to him.

, which stunned Doctor Qi in the room.

"Go and see what that kid is doing outside? Why are you still standing at the door sweeping the floor?" Doctor Qi said. Xiao Han, who was eating melon seeds next to him, immediately stood up and went out to take a look at the little fart who was following Li Jingyi over there.

child.

When Xiao Han went out, the little boy was startled and took a step back while holding the broom. Li Jingyi also looked up and realized that the person coming was Xiao Han, so she lowered her head and kept silent.

"Whose child is this?" Xiao Han recognized him after a few seconds.

"...I'll go! Isn't this the child of shopkeeper Sun? Why are you here?"

Shopkeeper Sun, this shopkeeper is a pawnshop owner from their side... a rich man.

Xiao Han also trembled in his heart.

If you want to ask why Young Master Xiao is shaking, it's because Shopkeeper Sun is so wealthy that even he feels a little guilty.

This kid doesn't look like he's very rich in what he's wearing. There are no patterns on his clothes, but anyone with knowledge can tell that they're made of good material. The only thing on his body is a small decoration tied around his neck, which is a piece of green.

Green jade, nothing else.

The boy is a bit thin, even compared to ordinary boys of this age. I don’t know how the big and round shopkeeper Sun gave birth to such a son who seems to be malnourished.

...and then this shopkeeper Sun's son is now standing at the door of their Baicaotang, holding a small broom as skinny as a bone to sweep the floor for them.

Xiao Han nervously turned back to see Dr. Qi, saying that someone wanted to trick our store, so he sent his son to sweep the floor so that he could touch the porcelain, but suddenly he saw shopkeeper Sun's son following Li Jingyi to the other side in a slutty state.

"Didn't she just go out to deliver medicine? Where did she come back from?" Xiao Han was puzzled. He wanted to continue asking, but suddenly saw Li Jingyi looking at him with no expression on her face. He remembered what he had just said

I vomited the melon seed shells all over the floor, and went back feeling a little guilty.

"You, where are your parents? Why didn't you see them?" The little boy tried his best to strike up a conversation with Li Jingyi, so he tried his best to find a topic.

After hearing this, Li Jingyi said calmly: "I don't know, I haven't seen them for a long time, but it's okay if I can't see them..."

Her answer made the little boy choke.

Obviously I was trying to liven up the atmosphere, but I always felt like I accidentally asked a bad question.

A little boy who grew up with both parents and no worries about food and clothing, and who had not seen his parents for a long time, fell into a blind spot in knowledge. It was as if he had never imagined that there would be people in the world who had a bad relationship with his parents.

He thought to himself, how pitiful that person would be if his parents treated him badly.

However, the strong desire to survive still made the little boy start the next topic.

"So, do you have any other relatives here?" the little boy continued to ask.

Li Jingyi was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "No more."

The atmosphere fell into continuous silence again... The little boy was already frightened by Li Jingyi's answer, and then he began to fall into a continuous state of doubt about life.

——What should I do if I chat with my friend for the first time and it’s so annoying? I’m waiting online. It’s quite urgent.

The little boy seemed ready to explode at any moment, or to throw the broom away and run away.

...But it seems that because my legs and feet are not very sensitive, I couldn't run.

Fortunately, just when he was in a dilemma, a man walked out of the shadows and picked him up.

The man was wearing pure black clothes. He was standing across the street just now, but no one noticed him.

His face looked ordinary, but he had a sword on his waist. His footsteps were so soft that you couldn't hear them with your ears, and even his breathing was almost silent.

The moment this man appeared, Li Jingyi stared at him and the sword at his waist.

The man looked at the fighting spirit hidden in Li Jingyi's calm eyes and the sword in her hand. With a slight smile on his face, he hugged the little boy and said, "I don't mean any harm, I just took him back."

He thought to himself that she is such a vigilant child. To be able to do this at her age must be called a genius. It's a pity that she just lives in a place like this...

No one around knew this girl's talent, and it seemed that no one could teach girls swordsmanship.

The little boy knew this man in black clothes. After being picked up by him, he clung to him and could not get off him. To him, this man was indeed very familiar because he was considered the "bodyguard captain" of their family.

.

Obviously, families with mines at home would not trust their children to run around alone, especially since the children were still weaklings. This man followed them all the way from South Street to North Street, watching them all the time.

The boy didn't come out with the broom, but at this moment he came out.

Li Jingyi didn't say anything more to him. She knew that she couldn't beat him, so she suppressed the fighting spirit in her eyes.

It was precisely because the "security captain" mentioned once that there was a girl here who was very good at practicing swordsmanship, so the young master could not forget Li Jingyi.

As a young master whose family owns a mine, but who seems to be dying in any minute, Master Sun's dream is not in line with his physical condition. His dream is to become a hero that everyone admires and fight with swords in the world.

That kind of thing, so I heard that there was a like-minded friend here, so I came over here, and then... failed miserably.

The man didn't talk to Li Jingyi for long, he just said hello to her and then left with Master Sun.

He looked at Li Jingyi's slim figure, the fighting spirit holding the hilt of the sword just now, and the old men's clothes on her body. He sighed slightly in his heart, and suddenly he felt a love for talents.

It's not impossible to say that you can occasionally teach someone a couple of tricks.

On the way back, the young master secretly whispered into the man's ear: "I just asked her where her parents were, and she said she hadn't seen them for a long time."

The man said: "Yeah."

"I also asked her if she had any other relatives, and she said she didn't have any."

"Um."

In the world of martial arts, there is another way to translate the saying "I haven't seen you for a long time", that is, "dead". Thinking about it this way, the reason for the little girl's reticence may be explained.

Suddenly the man didn't find it strange, and just sighed. There are not many people who have been wandering in the world since they were young, and there are also many people with miserable life experiences, so this makes him wonder if the little girl's life experience is also the same.

Very miserable.

Sometimes a miserable life experience is the driving force for progress. Hate is deeper than love. People who have experienced pain can often burst out their deepest potential, but they will also have great changes in their character.

"If you want to come in the future, then come, okay?" the man said.

The little boy was held in his arms, thinking back to the scene just now. In fact, he had never thought that the other party was a strange girl. The way she held the sword looked so handsome and domineering to him. It was like holding him.

It's the same as what my uncle said, precisely because she is a genius.

And Li Jingyi, who is wearing old clothes but has sharp eyes and doesn't speak much, is "very handsome" in the boy's eyes.

He may not even understand what handsome means, but he just thinks he is handsome.

"Then next time I come, I will bring her some food or clothes. Maybe she will play with me more." The boy said softly.

The man holding him was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself that he really had the mentality of a wealthy family... But judging from the look of the little girl, she probably wouldn't want anything given to her.

Li Jingyi walked in from the door. Xiao Han, who had just sat in Baicao Hall to watch the whole process, asked, "Who is that man?" Li Jingyi said without looking back, "His attendant." Then she entered the backyard,

Xiao Han was stunned when he heard this.

After a long time, he said, "Ah... I'm so envious. People with such skills are just servants? It's great to have money..."

Young Master Xiao, who was rich in the family, was so upset that Li Jingyi walked under the window in the backyard. That window was the window she almost fell from and lost her life. Now Li Jingyi is much taller, and she can reach it

Within the area, there are densely packed pale white marks carved out of stone, each stroke representing a day.

She thought to herself that the person's aura that she felt vaguely on the street just now was not an illusion... But Xiao Han didn't notice it, so how could she find it? Maybe she could ask Brother Hua?

When she thought of Brother Hua, Li Jingyi's eyes suddenly dimmed. She picked up a small stone next to her and wanted to add another stroke to the wall. Before this stroke was finished, she suddenly heard a voice above her head,

"What do you mean by drawing so many densely packed roads?"

This familiar voice startled her.

Li Jingyi looked up suddenly and saw a person sitting on the top of the wall, looking down at her, with smiling eyes and a gentle voice.

Hua Rongyue just wanted to come back from the lobby when she heard Xiao Han repeating "It's good to be rich", "I want to be rich too", "Can we let children develop the habit of comparison from an early age?"

How are you, great attendant?" He thought something had happened to Li Jingyi, so he quickly came back to take a look.
