Even though he suffered such a big loss, he didn't dare to look at Su Xun at all.

He called to his companion in a low voice.

After a while, he staggered away with the help of other little boys.

Soon, Su Xun and the little girl were the only ones left in this place.

...

The little girl still squatted on the ground holding her head.

His face was buried in his knees.

The bodies huddled together tightly.

Trembling slightly.

...

Su Xun gently touched the little girl's shoulder with her fingers.

Even though he was very careful.

However, the girl's body still trembled violently because of his touch.

This tremor clearly spread through his fingertips to his whole body.

His heart couldn't help but tremble.

He retracted his fingers, and his already gentle voice became softer, "Little sister, are you okay?"

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Does your body hurt?"

...

The little girl who was originally shaking because of Su Xun's words was stunned after hearing Su Xun's question clearly.

The trembling in the little body slowly calmed down.

She hesitated for a long time.

Then, she slowly raised her head.

He is a strange big brother.

She had never seen one in the village before.

The look on her eldest brother's face... was something she hadn't seen in a long, long time... tenderness and concern for her.

The little girl's eye circles suddenly turned red.

The burning in the corners of her eyes made her lower her eyes helplessly.

...

Su Xun misunderstood her performance, "Does your body hurt?"

"Don't cry."

"Where is your home?"

"Big brother will take you home."

"Young man, it's useless for you to send her home."

They are the villagers who just came to "solicit customers".

Su Xun frowned as he looked at the little girl who lowered her head and made no rebuttal.

He turned to look at the villagers who had walked up to him at some point, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Why is it useless for him to send this child home?

Could it be...

He had some guesses in his mind.

Is this little girl an orphan?

...

"Her parents don't care about her at all."

The villagers curled their lips.

...

Not an orphan.

Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
