Chapter 10

Xiaoxian is willing to leave, so Fuguang who was with her will definitely not stay.And Su Bai has always been clinging to him, it is impossible to stay alone.

Xie Ran was very happy, and many of the three younger brothers were willing to leave with her. He was quite prestigious as the boss.

Seeing his expression of joy, Rong Xian sighed slightly in her heart, and said that they should leave here as soon as possible, and see what happened to the child.

However, there are still a few children without family members in this house, Xie Ran didn't ask to bring them along, which was beyond her expectation.

It can be seen that although Xie Ran is kind and simple, he is also very measured.He was just a child himself, so he couldn't control so many people.With benefactors to worry about, those children have their own way out.

After the four children bid farewell to the steward of the house, they left wearing the new clothes they presented.

After watching them go away, the young man in a navy blue robe told the steward: "For the remaining homeless children, you can go to some families without children and ask them. If anyone is willing to adopt them, send them there."

"If no one adopts them, let's test their talents. If they are still good, let those children grow up with the outer disciples, so that they can serve the landlord in the future."

"As for the remaining ones who have no talent and nowhere to go, they will be sent to the Intelligence Department under Xuanqingtang."

The young man said coldly: "We are not a philanthropic hall. All efforts must be rewarded."

"This stronghold can be abolished."

The steward lowered his head and replied: "Yes, hall master."

It was only after Rong Xian and the others left that they realized that it was in a remote place, quite far from the nearest village.

Su Bai rubbed his stomach and whispered, "Boss, I'm hungry."

Xie Ran's stomach growled for a while, and he said depressedly: "There is no one here, even if you beg for food, there is nowhere to go."

Fuguang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can we not beg for food? If there is a village nearby, we can find a way to join the life in the village, which is better than sleeping in the open like now."

Xie Ran didn't think this idea was wrong, but said seriously: "Villages are quite xenophobic, and people with foreign surnames are rarely willing to live in them."

He looked at the three people in front of him, and said firmly in his eyes: "I am not alone now. It is really not good to beg for food all the time. Fuguang and Xiaoxian were children of a rich family before. You follow me, the boss." , I will never let you be wronged."

"Since we don't go begging, but want to find a place to stay, we are a family. You don't need to call me the boss anymore." Xie Ran patted his chest, and the little child felt a bit upright.

"I am seven years old, Su Bai is six years old, where are Fu Guang and Xiao Xian?" Xie Ran asked.

Fu Guang smiled and said, "I'm four years old, and Xiao Xian is half a month younger than me."

Su Bai said in surprise: "So you are so much younger than me, I thought you were only one year younger."

Xie Ran solemnly announced: "From today onwards, we are brothers and sisters. I am the eldest brother, Su Bai is the second brother, Fu Guang is the third brother, and Xiao Xian is the younger sister."

Su Bai didn't have any objections, and Rong Xian didn't feel at all embarrassed to call a kid brother at her own age, she was very frank.

They looked for some fruit to eat when they were hungry along the way, and looked for water from the stream to drink when they were thirsty. At night, they huddled together and looked for a deserted temple to rest.

They supported each other, and after walking for three days, they came to the nearest village.

The village is called Wangqing Village, but the name is weird.

When they walked around the small river and fields and entered the village, they were discovered by a gray-haired old man wandering at the entrance of the village.

The old man stroked his long beard, and shouted to the children: "Those children, come to this old man."

Xie Ran looked left and right, looked at Rong Xian hesitantly and said, "I think that old man is calling us."

Rong Xian sighed: "Brother and I really have a good understanding, and I also feel that he is calling us."

Su Bai: "...There is no one else here, the old man is calling us."

The corner of Xie Ran's mouth twitched, leading the three younger siblings to the old man, and called out politely: "Grandpa."

The old man looked at the four children, and saw that although their clothes were not very neat, their faces and hands were clean, and their eyes were full of spirit, which made people love it very much.

He asked in amazement: "We are a village with a radius of ten miles. Where did you come from? Why are there no adults around you?"

Xie Ran took the initiative to stand up and said: "We were abducted by kidnappers. A few days ago, some important people rescued us. But the four of us have long forgotten where our home is, and we have been looking for a place to stay along the way."

Seeing his young age, the old man spoke clearly and articulately, and asked in his heart, "Then will you still look for family members in the future?"

Xie Ran shook his head and said, "My second brother and younger sister have no family members. The third brother has an older brother who is missing. He may look for him when he grows up."

"Oh? You guys are too young. If you really want to settle elsewhere, no one will be able to help you." The old man said.

For example, in their village, although the weather is good, there are no disasters, famines and wars.But every household only has enough to support themselves, and the excess is not enough.

Without waiting for Xie Ran to speak, Fu Guang suddenly said: "Old man, the four of us, brothers and sisters, can take care of each other by ourselves. I don't know if there are any vacant houses in the village. Eldest brother is very skilled, he can go into the mountains to hunt some prey for rent."

When the old man thought about it, he couldn't really let a few children smear him and go on his way.It is better to meet a kidnapper, but it is a crime to meet a beast.

He stroked his beard and said, "I am the village head of Wangqing Village. If you just want a place to stay, there is still an empty house in the village. The owner's family opened a cloth shop in the town, and the family moved to live in the town. .”

He said kindly: "I can decide to let you live in that house temporarily, but the rent must be paid in advance every ten days with the prey. I will send the prey to the owner by the village market the next day after you bring the prey."

Xie Ran's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, the four of us will take good care of the things in the house, and we will ask the old man to help."

The old man has done a good deed, and he feels at ease.

He took the four children with happy faces and walked for nearly a quarter of an hour before arriving at the children's future destination.

The house looked dilapidated from the outside, the yards on both sides outside the door were separated by some festering fences, and a few green vegetables sprang up here and there.

Su Bai grabbed the corner of Xie Ran's clothes and said joyfully: "Brother, we can grow vegetables here in the future, and raise a few chickens, and I can catch loaches for the chickens."

Listening to his words, Xie Ran couldn't help but fantasize about a better life in the future.

Fu Guang looked at the two of them, and asked the old man curiously: "Grandfather of the village chief, do you know the origin of the name of the village?"

The village head was shocked, and with nostalgia on his face, he told a few people about the past: "The name of Wangqing Village comes from a couple more than 100 years ago."
