"An abandoned newborn..." Xu Xi stepped forward again, following the group of hungry people step by step. He knew it very well. In this era, it was normal for babies to be abandoned. After all, parents themselves could hardly survive, so how could they spare the energy to take care of babies. In the era of famine, the best thing to do when encountering such a thing is to treat it as nothing happened. Xu Xi thought so and lowered his eyelids silently. Intend to turn a deaf ear to it. Intend to turn a blind eye. The same is true for other people around, including Aunt Wang's family who gave water earlier. It's not that they are not kind, it's not that they have no mercy, but in such a famine, if you want to raise a newborn, it means reducing the food rations of your family and reducing the hope of survival.
In comparison, everyone is more willing to choose their own family. Click—— Click—— The heavy footsteps sounded like moral condemnation again and again. Knocking on everyone's heart. Suddenly, Xu Xi stopped and looked up at the sun in the sky, as if he had finally made a decision. In the surprised and stunned eyes of others, he quickly left the group of hungry people and ran towards the direction where the sound was heard just now. "Although it is just a false simulation world, it is too real. I can't rest assured..." "In this period of food shortage." "If I leave it alone, I'm afraid the fate of that child will be--" Xu Xi silently speeded up. Searching in the weeds and running on the stones that hurt his feet. Gradually, the height of the weeds was higher than Xu Xi's knees. Every step he took required him to push away the tough branches with all his strength. The hot wind whistled in his ears, bringing the rustling sound of the weeds. Cut through the thorns. Go forward courageously. Just like what is described in countless fairy tales. With his small arms pushing away difficulties and his tender feet overcoming obstacles, the fearless warrior finally reached his destination and found the baby girl wrapped in cloth under a dead tree. The sunlight descended from the sky and was divided into countless pieces by the dead branches without leaves, scattered and mottled with light and shadow. Xu Xi squatted down. He picked up the baby who was obviously born not long ago and shielded it from the scorching sun.
"Finally found you," he said softly. The baby girl's skin was very white and tender, like a newly bloomed petal, with a faint pink halo. Her eyes blinked, curiously staring at Xu Xi's overheated and overtired red face. Her small nose twitched slightly, and her body curled up in Xu Xi's arms, becoming extremely quiet. It seemed that she felt very safe in Xu Xi's arms. "It seems nothing serious." Seeing the baby girl sleeping soundly, Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then carried the baby girl back to the original team as gently as possible. Although it was a bit difficult. But Xu Xi didn't want to give up the child. At least, he had to try to let her survive this famine. ... [Suffering makes heroes] [You ignored the surprise of others, and when everyone chose to give up, you resolutely became a hero, brought the baby girl who was in danger back, and regarded her as your own sister] [You used your remaining food to exchange for some breast milk so that your sister would not have to endure hunger] [Correspondingly, you who lost the last rations could only endure the cramps in your abdomen and feel the powerlessness and weakness of your body every day and night] [Fortunately, you were lucky] [Before you really starved to death, you took your sister and followed the hungry people team to successfully arrive at a mortal city and got from the soup kitchen life-saving hot porridge] [You survived, and your sister survived together] [You inquired for a long time and learned that the name of the city is Black Stone City, which belongs to a mortal dynasty. Every five years, an immortal will come to test the qualifications and recruit disciples] [Your luck seems to be a bit bad again. It has been a short time since the last time you recruited disciples. You have to wait for a new five years] [You decided to stay in Black Stone City and participate in the five-year recruitment conference. For this, you started to think of ways to make money and work hard to support yourself and your sister] [You named your sister Xu Moli] … Time flies, and the years pass by. Perhaps it is because of the simulator. Xu Xi often feels that time flies, just like when playing a game, pressing the plot skip button, the game directly skips several years. But. Xu Xi still has relevant memories. I remember how I survived in Black Stone City, how I got along with my sister Mo Li, and how I interacted with my neighbors.
"According to the time, there is only one year left before the disciple-recruiting conference." In the narrow wooden house. There are few furnitures and the floor is clean. Xu Xi pondered and scratched a deep mark on the wall with black charcoal. Such a deep mark hasFour, symbolizing the fourth year. This year, Xu Xi is nearly eleven years old. The inner qualities of a time traveler and his mature mind make him look more reliable than his peers. "Brother!!" A soft and innocent voice came from behind. Almost at the same time, a small figure jumped onto Xu Xi's back, lying intimately, revealing a childish and reassuring face. "You, you are always so naughty." Xu Xi said helplessly. He lifted the girl's neck with ease. He gently put her on the ground. "No way, brother wronged Mo Li", after landing, the girl retorted dissatisfiedly, while she said, pulling Xu Xi's robe, tidying up the wrinkles she had just formed. Her expression was very serious, and her movements were very careful, as if she was dealing with something extremely important. Wait until everything is over. The girl just showed a satisfied look. With an innocent smile, lively and cute, the four-year-old girl is like the most flawless porcelain doll, making Xu Xi unable to resist grabbing her. "You can't rub Mo Li's head!" Hearing the girl's cute resistance, Xu Xi smiled and said, "Why not?" The girl counted her fingers seriously, "The grandmother next door said that if you touch a child's head, he won't grow taller. My brother has touched it many times. If this continues, what will happen if Mo Li doesn't grow taller!" Xu Xi was curious again, "What does little Mo Li plan to do after he grows taller?" The girl did not hesitate, "Help my brother make a lot of money!!" "Hahaha, is that so? That's really something to look forward to." Xu Xi laughed out loud. In the girl's angry expression, he rubbed her black and beautiful hair again, and then turned his wrist and took out the round watermelon before his cute sister got angry. "Wow, it's a very big watermelon!" Xu Mo Li exclaimed "Wow".
His eyes were full of surprise and joy. Holding Xu Xi's thighs, he cheered: "I want to eat, I want to eat, brother, quickly cut it for Mo Li to eat!" "Okay, okay, I'll come right away," the boy responded lovingly, letting his sister stay away, then took out the kitchen knife at home and cut the watermelon into even pieces.
