Chapter 2 You Became Her Hero

"Abandoned newborn baby..."

Xu Xi stepped forward again, closely following the ranks of the hungry people step by step.

He knows it very well.

In this era, it is normal for babies to be abandoned. After all, parents themselves have difficulty surviving, and how can they have any spare time to take care of babies.

When encountering such a thing in an era of famine, the best thing to do is to pretend that nothing happened.

Xu Xi thought like this and silently lowered his eyelids.

Plan to turn a deaf ear.

Plan to turn a blind eye.

The same goes for other people around, including Aunt Wang's family who had previously provided water.

It's not that they are unkind, it's not that they don't have a compassionate heart, but in such famine years, if you want to raise a newborn, it means reducing your family's food rations and reducing your hope of survival.

Comparing the two, everyone still prefers to choose their own family members.

snap——

snap——

The heavy footsteps sounded like moral condemnations again and again.

Strike at everyone's heart.

Suddenly, Xu Xi stopped. He looked up at the sun in the sky, as if he had finally made a decision. Under the surprised and stunned eyes of others, he quickly broke away from the group of hungry people and ran towards the direction where he heard the sound just now.

"Although it's just a fake simulated world, it's so real that I can't rest assured..."

"This is a time when food is scarce."

"If we leave it alone, I'm afraid the child's fate will be—"

Xu Xi silently speeded up.

Searching in the grass, running on the stones that hurt your feet.

Gradually, the height of the weeds reached Xu Xi's knees. Every step he took required struggling to push aside the tough branches. The hot wind whistled in his ears, bringing with it the rustle of the weeds.

Overcoming obstacles.

Go forward with courage.

Just like what is depicted in countless fairy tales.

The little arms pushed aside the difficulties, and the young feet overcame the obstacles. The fearless brave finally arrived at the destination and found the baby girl wrapped in cloth under a dead tree.

The sun falls from the sky and is divided into countless parts by the leafless branches, scattered and mottled with light and shadow.

Xu Xi squatted down.

He picked up the baby, who was clearly just born, and shielded it from the scorching sun.

"Finally found you," he whispered.

The baby girl's skin was very white and tender, like newly bloomed petals, with a faint pink halo. Her eyes were blinking, looking curiously at Xu Xi's flushed face that was overheated and tired.

The small nose twitched slightly, and the body curled up in Xu Xi's arms, becoming extremely quiet.

It seemed that he felt very safe in Xu Xi's arms.

"It seems nothing serious."

Seeing that the baby girl was sleeping soundly, Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then, as gently as possible, he carried the baby girl and returned to the original team.

It's a bit difficult though.

But Xu Xi didn't want to give up the child.

At least try to survive this famine.

…

【Suffering creates heroes】

[You ignored the surprise of others, and when everyone else chose to give up, you resolutely became a hero alone, bringing the endangered baby girl back and treating her as your biological sister]

[You used your remaining food in exchange for some breast milk so that your sister would not have to endure hunger]

[Correspondingly, after losing your last ration, you can only endure the cramps in your abdomen and feel the weakness and weakness of your body every day and night]

【Fortunately you are lucky】

[Before you really starved to death, you and your sister followed the team of hungry people, successfully arrived at a mortal city, and got life-saving hot porridge from the soup kitchen]

[You survived, you survived with your sister]

[After asking around a lot, you learned that the city’s name is Black Rock City and it 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. Not long after the last time you accepted a disciple, you have to wait for a new five years]

[You decided to stay in Black Rock City and participate in the apprenticeship conference that happens every five years. For this reason, you began to think of ways to make money and work hard to support yourself and your sister]

[You named your sister Xu Moli]

…

Time flies, time flies.

Maybe it's because of the emulator.

Xu Xi often feels that time flies very fast, as if when playing a game, he pressed the story skip button and the game skipped several years.

only.

Xu Xi still retains relevant memories.

I remember how I survived in Black Rock City, the memories of getting along with my sister Mo Li, and the process of dealing with my neighbors.

"Calculating the time, there is only one year left before the apprenticeship conference."

Inside a narrow wooden house.

There is very little furniture and the floor is clear.

Xu Xi pondered, and used black charcoal to draw a deep mark on the wall. There were already four such deep marks, symbolizing the fourth year.

Xu Xi is nearly eleven years old this year.

The time traveler's inner self and mature mind make him seem more reliable than his peers.

"Brother!!"

A soft and innocent voice came from behind.

Almost at the same time, a small figure jumped on Xu Xie's back, lying down affectionately, showing a childish and reassuring face.

"You, you, are always so naughty."

Xu Xi's tone was helpless.

Lifting the back of the girl's neck with ease.

Place it gently on the ground.

"No way, brother, you are so unjust." After landing, the girl retorted dissatisfiedly. As she said this, she pulled the robe that Xu tied to straighten out the wrinkles caused by her previous movements.

The expression was very serious, and the movements were very careful, as if she was dealing with something extremely important.

Wait until everything was over.

The girl showed a satisfied look.

Her smile was innocent, smart and cute. The four-year-old girl was like the most flawless porcelain doll, which made Xu Xi couldn't help but grab 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 grandma next door said that touching a child's head will not make him 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 do you plan to do after little Mo Li 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 the black and beautiful hair again, and then turned his wrist and took out the round watermelon before the cute sister got angry.

"Wow, it's a very big watermelon!"

Xu Moli 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, cut it for Moli!"

"Okay, okay, I'll come right away", the boy responded lovingly, letting his sister stay away, took out the kitchen knife at home, and cut the watermelon into multiple even pieces.
