Chapter 996 Taking In

An Sheng led Xiaoxiao and walked around all night before finally seeing a town. But even if it was a town, it was just a small gathering place. It was smaller than the cities Ansheng and Xiaoxiao had seen, and it was even smaller with the naked eye. Visible poverty.

There are not many people on the streets and there are very few vendors. This is a residential area outside the radiation range of Yuzhou City. Although it is not dangerous, it is not very prosperous.

Xiaoxiao walked all night, and no matter how strong she was, she was still a little tired. After all, she was still a child over five years old. She did not ask her brother to hold her along the way. She walked here on her own with short legs, so She also felt that her eyelids were fighting now.

But despite this, Xiaoxiao did not drag her brother to make any unreasonable conditions.

But how could Ansheng, who was a doting lover on his sister, not know? He had long seen the tiredness on his sister's face, and felt sorry for her sensible smile, so he said directly: "Let's go find some food first, find a place to stay, and rest for a while before setting off."

Xiaoxiao said with some worry: "Brother, I can still keep walking. Let's keep walking. I'm afraid that daddy will take me back!"

An Sheng touched Xiaoxiao's head and tried his best to comfort her, saying: "No, we have gone a long way now. They can't catch up for the time being. We still have time."

Xiaoxiao didn't feel reassured, so she grabbed her brother's hand tightly and said, "Really?"

An Sheng said seriously: "Really."

Xiaoxiao was relieved, but his eyelids became even heavier. When Ansheng saw it, he hugged his sister and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when I get there."

"Well...okay..."

Xiaoxiao immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep in Ansheng's arms.

An Sheng also took out a blanket to cover Xiaoxiao, and then walked deeper and deeper into the town.

When people walking on the street saw An Sheng, a half-year-old boy carrying a round baggage, they took a second look and didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, An Sheng deliberately made his pretty face dirty. It's pretty and inconspicuous.

Ansheng went straight to the inn to stay. There were not many inns in the whole town. Ansheng searched for a long time before he found a very shabby inn. When he walked in, there happened to be rooms.

The shopkeeper was a very slovenly uncle, and there were no waiters in the inn. When the shopkeeper saw that it was a young boy, his originally excited face instantly turned to disappointment. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, An Sheng was obviously not okay. consuming customers.

An Sheng also saw the look in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something very important.

That's money.

He left in a hurry and really forgot to bring any money!

An Sheng felt a little annoyed when he thought of this. How could he forget such an important thing? Especially now, when he is in such urgent need!

Seeing An Sheng didn't move for a long time, the shopkeeper couldn't help showing a look of understanding, mixed with disdain. An Sheng faced such a look, even though he was usually very calm and composed at this time, he couldn't help but blush and lowered his head. Holding Xiaoxiao in his arms, he hurriedly left the inn.

An Sheng walked outside and took another look at his sister who was wrapped in his arms and sleeping peacefully. An Sheng really didn't want to disturb his sister's sweet dream. He thought that his mother must be in her sister's dream at this moment.

Just when An Sheng didn't know what to do, a weak call came from his ears.

"Big brother!"

An Sheng lowered his head in surprise, and met a pair of big dark eyes.

It's Duoduo.

An Sheng recognized it immediately.

Duoduo showed a small face to Ansheng and said happily: "It's really you! Big brother!"

An Sheng also felt a little surprised and said, "What a coincidence."

Duoduo shook her head and said: "No! I saw big brother at the corner of the street! I followed you all the way! Fortunately, I didn't recognize the wrong person!"

An Sheng smiled and said, "Is your home here?"

Duoduo said happily: "Yes, yes! Brother, what are you holding?"

An Sheng paused and said, "My sister."

Duoduo showed envy in her eyes and said, "It's great that my eldest brother has a younger sister. Duoduo also wants a brother..."

Peaceful but smiling and silent.

Duoduo said again: "Big brother, don't come here. It's so expensive here! Mom said we can't afford it! Big brother, please come to my house! I still have a lot of vacancies at home!"

An Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the little girl's sincere expression, he nodded in agreement.

Duoduo happily led her brother and sister home.

Before Hu Yun, who was working hard at home, could react, Duoduo rushed over, hugged Hu Yun's legs and said, "Mom! I brought my eldest brother back!"

Hu Yun was stunned and said: "What big brother?"

When he looked up, he saw An Sheng standing hesitantly.

An Sheng also felt that his decision was too reckless. It was too rude to just go to someone else's house so casually without asking the owner's opinion.

Thinking of this, An Sheng immediately took a step back and said with an apologetic tone: "Sorry to bother you, I'm leaving now."

Before An Sheng turned around, Hu Yun spoke: "Duoduo rarely brings children home. Is it your sister you are holding in your arms? She is asleep now. You can't bear to disturb her. It's okay. Go in and sit down. Sit down, as long as you don't mind that our house is a bit shabby."

An Sheng hesitated for a moment, but finally felt sorry for his sister and walked into the house.

It is said to be simple, but it is really simple, but it is very clean. From this point, it can be seen that Hu Yun is a very capable woman. Even if she is an orphan and a widowed mother, she has not been tortured by life. Confused.

Hu Yun took him directly to a clean empty room. Although the mattress was old, it still exuded the smell of sunshine and soap locust. An Sheng placed Xiaoxiao in his arms on the bed and pressed her The quilt is ready.

When An Sheng walked out, Hu Yun also took out some food. It was not much, just white porridge and steamed buns, and a stack of pickles. Hu Yun was a little hesitant, but this was the best she could bring out at home. It’s time to eat.

But fortunately, An Sheng didn't show any disgust on his face. Instead, he thanked him politely and did not refuse the kindness. He was indeed a little hungry.

Duoduo opened her eyes, looked at Ansheng without blinking, and said, "Brother, where are you going?"

An Sheng's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened.

Hu Yun said with some scolding: "Duoduo, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

An Sheng smiled and said, "I'm going to find my mother."

Duoduo's eyes widened and she asked, "Is the eldest brother's mother missing?"

An Sheng said without too much hesitation: "Well, she went to a very far place.
