A few words between Zhan Yue and the man clearly connected the cause and effect of the incident. Ren felt pity in his heart and pulled the stone, "Forget it, let's go. Those fifty taels can be regarded as windfall. For unexpected things,

Wealth must be affordable and easy to put down.”

Just, is it okay to leave it alone?

Shitou was unwilling to give in. After all, the money was lost on him. Shitou wouldn't move away. Ren Xin pushed Shitou but it didn't move. "Do you want to take care of this or get the money back? We are just passers-by, so we can't."

If you want to recover the money after all these noisy things, then look at the two brothers, how do they look like they still have money?" Ren Xin's principle of doing things has always been not to cause trouble, but unfortunately, this trouble always comes to provoke her.

"That makes sense, but..." It's always easy to say it, but how can you let go of the knot in your heart just by letting it go?

While the two were discussing, Zhan Yue and his brother got into an argument for some reason. Zhan Yue was caught by his elder brother and searched for a long time without getting any money. His elder brother got angry and threw the struggling Zhan Yue to the ground.

.

"Brother, you can't..." Zhan Yue fell to the ground, and his arms and legs were bruised.

Zhan Yue's eldest brother ran past Ren Xin and Shitou with a distorted face. When Ren Xin looked over strangely, he felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. He lowered his head and saw a beautiful boy looking at him expectantly.

She, isn't this the child who stole their money?

Shitou's face turned gloomy when he saw that Zhan Yue was in front of him. Ren Xin stopped Shitou before Shitou's attack. She knelt down and looked at Zhan Yue's level. With those clear and clean eyes, Ren Xin couldn't bear to refuse, "Is something wrong?

"

"Help me, okay?" Zhan Yue stared at the mask in Ren Xin's hand, with hope in his eyes, as if he was sure that Ren Xin would help him.

"You stole our money and you still want us to help you?" Shitou looked at Zhan Yue coldly. When Zhan Yue raised his head to see Shitou's face clearly, he was slightly startled and pursed his lips. His eyes were filled with clouds, and he was looking for a storm.

Come on, "I'm sorry..." Zhan Yue bent down and bowed, apologizing to the two of them. When he stood up, his eyes were still fixed on Ren Xin's mask. There was hope in his eyes and he still believed that Ren Xin would help him.

"How can you be sure that I can help you?" Ren Xinwei gently patted the dust off Zhan Yue's body. Such an acquaintance could be regarded as fate. She looked at him with a faint heart.

"Because of this." Zhan Yue reached out and took off the mask on Ren Xin's face, smiling refreshingly, "otherwise, he would not give this mask to you."

"How do you know if it's a gift or not a purchase?" Is it possible that this is a one-for-one gift, a mask and a thief?

Ren Xin hesitated, always feeling that something was a little weird, but looking at the child, he seemed to be just an ordinary kid. Shitou pulled Ren Xin up, pulled the mask from Zhan Yue's hand, and looked at it, "You and that

Do you know the person selling the mask?”

Zhan Yue didn't explain anything. He looked at Ren Xin with his clear eyes and looked very much like Ling'er. However, Zhan Yue's eyes were not as lively as Ling'er's but were a little calmer. Ren Xin's heart could not be said to be soft. He often encountered such things.

She would turn a blind eye and should walk away, but for some reason, looking into Zhan Yue's eyes, she had the idea of ​​helping him.

"May I have your name?"

"Zhanyue."

"what can I do for you?"

…

Zhan Yue took Ren Xin and Shitou and wandered around in several alleys and finally came to a small, remote courtyard. The entrance courtyard was in ruins, the walls collapsed, the window paper was broken, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. As he walked towards the house, Ren Xin felt that

She was always worried that some creature would come out of the grass and bite her.

Shi Shi neither supported nor opposed Ren Xin's move. Now that she had decided, he would accompany her. Even though he had no good impression of Zhan Yue, he believed in Zhan Yue just because of Zhan Yue's sorry words.

It is a last resort.

Before the three of them got close to the house in the courtyard, a quarrel came out of the house. Before they could hear clearly what the two people in the house were arguing about, they only heard a "bang" sound as something was knocked down.

When there was no more sound, Zhan Yue yelled, "No, grandma!" and rushed into the house first.

Ren Xin and Shitou looked at each other and ran over quickly.

In the house, various things were smashed to the floor, and an old woman fell to the ground, motionless. Zhan Yue's eldest brother knelt on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and with trembling hands he stepped forward to check the old man's breath, "Milk...milk..."

Zhan Yue's eldest brother put his outstretched hand in front of the old man's nose, suddenly paused, and then retracted it as if he was electrocuted, and his whole body collapsed to one side.

When Zhan Yue saw the old man lying on the ground, he rushed forward in panic and pushed the old man's body hard. The tears that had not flowed out of his eyes could no longer be suppressed at that moment.

"Grandma, grandma... wake up, Yue'er is very good, and Yue'er hasn't grown up yet. You said you would live to be a hundred years old and watch Yue'er get a wife... How can you not keep your words? How can you...

..." Zhan Yue is still just a child. No matter how strong he was before, at this moment, he can no longer care about anything else. He has experienced too many hardships in the world. He knows what death is, but he refuses to believe it.

He held the old man's arm and hugged him tightly, "Don't sleep, okay, grandma, get up..."

"It's not me, it's not me..." Zhan Yue's eldest brother looked at his hands and seemed a little confused. He got up from the ground, threw the ten taels of silver he had just taken out from the old man on the ground, and glared.

His eyes were very big, the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his twisted face smiled ferociously, "Don't you just want to keep this money and give it to your favorite little grandson? Give it to you, give it all to you, hahahaha..."

After laughing for a while, Zhan Yue's eldest brother suddenly stepped forward and threw himself on the ground, trapping all the scattered silver on the ground in his arms, "No, the more you hurt him, the less I can

As you wish, all this money is mine!"

Ren Xin and Shitou stood at the door, looking at the scene inside the house, feeling so sad that Zhan Yue had to face so much alone at such a young age.

"No, I'm rich now. I'm going to make another turn, so that I'll be even richer. I don't think any of you can look down on me anymore..." Zhan Yue's eldest brother hastily grabbed a few handfuls of broken silver.

Unprepared, he pushed away the distracted Ren Xin and ran out.

"Brother!" Zhan Yue screamed at the top of his lungs, but his eldest brother was already far away and it was too late.

Shi Shi held Ren Xin firmly. He was very moved by what he saw in front of him. "That person is hopeless." Ren Xin nodded in agreement. She only pitied Zhan Yue and worried about this child with clean eyes.

It will be contaminated from now on...

Ren Xin gently pushed the stone away, stepped forward to hug Zhan Yue, held him in her arms gently, and soothed his emotions, "Grandma is asleep. She is a little heavy. Don't disturb her, let her take care of herself."

Would you like to rest?"

"Sister..." Zhan Yue burst into tears, "I..." There was no way of knowing what he wanted to say. Ren Xin was afraid that he would be sad and did not dare to ask more questions, so she could only hold him like that and let him cry. Growing up, she had always

Zhan Yue, who is more mature than his peers, has always known that he cannot rely on others. Except for his grandma, no one has ever been so gentle to him. Being held by Ren Xin like this, it seems that the entire cold world has become cold at this moment.

It got warmer.

On this day, Zhan Yue cried for a long time until his eyes were so dry that he could no longer shed tears. Ren Xin just kept holding him and guarding him, so that decades later, when Zhan Yue recalled this day again,

At that time, he said that on that day, he had shed all the tears in his life. It was also on this day that God gave him a sister whom he loved most in his life.

A drop of water's kindness should be repaid by a spring of water. Sometimes fate always comes in such an inexplicable way. Ren Xin never thought about what kind of gun and shield she would get in exchange for the gentleness of her embrace in her future.

Zhan Yue said that what grandma loves most is the yard in front of the house. It turns out that grandma planted all kinds of flowers in this yard. They are colorful and belong to all seasons. Before grandma got sick, every flower in the yard was planted.

You can see beautiful flowers in every season, full of fragrant smell, but now, there is nothing...

Shitou helped Zhan Yue bury his grandma in the yard that the old man loved most. Zhan Yue knelt in front of the old man, looked at it with empty eyes, and said nothing. Ren Xin picked some slender flowers in the yard.

Unknown grass and the white autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the corner were woven together to make a garland. Zhan Yue said that grandma likes flowers, so she placed the garland on the old man's grave as a token of her gratitude.

Zhan Yue saw the wreath and looked up at Ren Xin, whose eyes were as calm as water, but Ren Xin shed tears for no reason. She knelt down next to Zhan Yue and hugged him gently, "Everything will be fine.

Grandma will definitely watch over you and protect you in heaven, and will never let you get hurt again."

"Well, sister, can I follow you from now on?" Zhan Yue was unusually calm, not like the panic before, or even calm like an ordinary child. He leaned on Ren Xin's shoulder and looked at her waist hanging

That mask, "That's Master's favorite mask. Even I'm not allowed to touch it. Now if you give it to my sister, then you must be a special being."

No matter whether Ren Xin is special or not, in Zhan Yue's heart, he is irreplaceable by others.

"Master?" Ren Xin thought of the man selling masks and was a little curious about what he could teach Zhan Yue, but she asked because Zhan Yue's calm and pale face was a little tired and he didn't seem to want to speak.

Maybe it was because of fate, and Ren Xin also believed in fate. She couldn't explain why she was willing to get into trouble for this child. Was it just because this child looked at her with such hope with clean eyes? She didn't know, but she

But she wanted to keep this child by her side to take care of her. She looked at Shi Shi inquiringly.
