I have a magical tree

In the backyard of the Xu family clinic, A Bao looked at the door with some disappointment, and then turned her eyes to the big bowl in her hand. There was only white rice in it. The man said yesterday that as long as the clinic and the backyard were cleaned every day, she could eat meat, but the man did not come today.

However, this disappointment only lasted for a moment, and she suppressed it again, and looked down at the white cat slave circling at her feet.

Yes, white. After she washed the cat slave yesterday, she was also surprised. The gray little thing actually had a coat of snow-white hair, which was quite eye-catching. If it grew some meat, it would definitely become beautiful.

A Bao picked up a ball of white rice from her bowl and threw it in front of the cat slave. The cat slave was not picky about food, and even if it was white rice, it would swallow it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing the cat slave eating, A Bao felt happy, although she didn't know what she was happy about. If Xu Dao was here, he would tell her, because the way they both ate was actually very similar, like the reincarnation of starving ghosts!

Ah Bao was putting a chopstick of white rice into his mouth when he saw a figure pushing open the gate and walking in.

Xu Dao pretended to walk around the yard, checked around, and nodded.

"It's a little late, so I won't eat bacon today. How about roast goose?" He raised the oil paper bag in his hand, and then added, "It's not bad today, this is a reward."

Ah Bao couldn't help but smile, but this smile on her face was so ugly.

Xu Dao didn't like to be broken by others, even if it was just a small appointment, so he didn't like to break others' appointments, even if this appointment was insignificant to him.

Watching Ah Bao greedily stuffing the goose meat with plenty of fat into his mouth and chewing it, Xu Dao actually felt a little hungry.

He sat on the bluestone slab next to Ah Bao, and his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful.

Seeing A Bao eating rice in big mouthfuls, he threw the goose bone in front of the cat slave, and the cat slave began to kick his hind legs and start chewing. The aroma of roast goose made it hum involuntarily.

However, the roast goose bone was chewed very cleanly by A Bao, and there was no meat left on it. Even the cartilage was chewed and swallowed by her, so the cat slave could only taste it.

Xu Dao picked up the cat slave and found it looked good, but it was too thin!

"Give it some meat? This goose weighs three or four pounds, enough to eat!"

Upon hearing this, A Bao paused, picked from the paper bag for a long time with some reluctance, and threw the goose head down. Seeing Xu Dao staring at her strangely, she whispered in defense: "This raccoon will not eat after being fed meat!"

Xu Dao reluctantly believed this explanation, "That's right, but don't gnaw the bones so cleanly, at least leave some for it, let it taste the saltiness!"

"Okay!" A Bao nodded, and then continued to eat rice.

Seeing this, Xu Dao said no more, but opened the martial arts eyes and scanned the surroundings. He wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the surroundings. After all, this is also an important foothold, and he couldn't ignore the hidden dangers and potential dangers.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual around, but when his eyes swept over A Bao, he was stunned for a moment.

This A Bao's spirituality is not weak. Although not as good as himself, nor as good as my younger sister Xu Lu, it is much better than ordinary people.

After being stunned for a long time, Xu Dao asked, "How old are you?"

"Twelve!"

"Twelve?" Xu Dao couldn't believe it. He was twelve years old, but he was so short and thin. This didn't look like the physique of a twelve-year-old child.

"Well, twelve, the day my mother passed away!" A Bao nodded to confirm.

Xu Dao was silent for a long time, and then said, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"

A Bao was stunned, frowned and thought for a long time, "No, it's very expensive!"

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't have money, so I want to!

Xu Dao nodded, "Starting tomorrow, learn to read with me, take care of your body, and start martial arts when you are thirteen."

"I don't have money!" A Bao shook his head.

"I'll pay!"

"I can't afford it!" A Bao's voice became a little softer.

"No need to pay, when you learn it, help me protect my family, how about it?" Xu Dao had planned this from the beginning.

My younger sister is talented, but she is too young, and she is still a long way from thirteen. Distant water cannot quench near thirst. A Niang has decent talent, and she can learn to strengthen her body in the future, but she will definitely not be good at fighting, and he is worried. She finally had a few days of peace, and he can't be conscienceless.

But the girl in front of him has talent and is not much older than her. If she is well trained, she will be of great use in the future.

We can't always let A Quan stay in the mansion to protect A Niang and Xiao Mei, that's not a long-term solution. As for hiring a guard outside, it's not safe.

If conditions permit, the one he trained himself is more trustworthy.

As for resources, everything will not be a problem after he learns the art of alchemy from his teacher. Not to mention supporting one A Bao, it won't be difficult to support more.

At least in the early stage, it must be enough! And his strength will not stagnate, but will continue to improve. At that time, there will be more resources.

Ah Bao stirred the bowl with chopsticks, and nodded as if after careful consideration, "Okay!"

Xu Dao gave her food, meat, and taught her martial arts, so it seemed nothing wrong for her to risk her life for Xu Dao's family. She was not afraid of death, but only of starvation. She was actually worried that if she didn't agree, she would never be able to eat enough in the future.

"You don't have to think too much. If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can still stay here. As long as you clean the clinic every day, my agreement will not change." Xu Dao couldn't help but remind him.

But A Bao was stunned, then shook his head, "I've already agreed!"

"This..." Xu Dao was speechless: "Okay! You continue to eat, I'm going back! By the way, remember not to run around at night!"

A Bao didn't respond, but just shoveled rice into his mouth, filling his cheeks.

For her and the cat slave at her feet, eating is the most important thing. Apart from that, there is nothing important!

When they returned home, the food was on the table.

"What happened? Why did you run out in a hurry?" Liu served Xu Dao with rice.

"Mother, do you still remember the child I took in?"

"The one whose mother died of illness and she was left alone?" Liu nodded: "Is the child okay?"

"Very good, and eats a lot!"

"Anyone who has been hungry can eat!" Liu smiled, "Besides, being able to eat is a blessing!"

"I plan to teach her martial arts later!"

"Can you afford it?"

"Yes, the family is not short of money now! And when she practices martial arts, I should have learned the skills of the teacher, so there will be no shortage of resources."

"You want to train a helper, right?" Liu thought of the root of the problem at once.

"Well, it's hard to find a trustworthy martial arts practitioner, so it's better to train one yourself!"

"You decide!" Xu Dao has always made decisions at home, and Liu is used to it.

"Mother, you want to learn too!"

"Ah?"
