Lan Xiaoying could not make any promises, because he himself was a dependent. If Li Bai had not taken him in, he would have nowhere to go and would have been competing with mice for food.

If I bring my younger brother along, it would obviously be a bit unkind.

At that moment, he rubbed his eyes, not knowing what to do.

When Li Bai saw this scene, he walked out.

He knew that the two children were still very young, especially Lan Xiaotian, who looked so small and had just learned to speak.

"You want to take your brother somewhere and survive with him, right?"

Before his parents came, they did not tell him not to talk to other people, so Lan Xiaotian nodded uncertainly.

Anyway, as long as we take my brother to that place, we will have delicious food. He hasn’t eaten chicken legs for a long time.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

When Li Bai said this, Lan Xiaoying also realized that something was wrong, but if he didn't go over, his younger brother might be embarrassed by his parents.

You have to know that his parents are obviously not good people. Others may not know this, but how could he not know this?

Lan Xiaotian worriedly pulled at his brother's clothes, "Brother, will you come with me?"

"I promise that when I get there, I will take you to eat chicken legs. You will be very happy after you finish eating the chicken legs."

A joyful smile appeared on the child's face, and Lan Xiaoying finally nodded, "I'd better go over and take a look."

This child really showed kindness to a younger brother he had never met. If Lan Xiaoying was not kind, perhaps he would not have been bullied by his parents in the first place.

"Since you have already decided, go ahead."

Li Bai spoke seriously. Lan Xiaoying thought that Li Bai would definitely object. After all, Li Bai's character would not let him take risks. But he did not expect that Li Bai would actually agree.

Holding Lan Xiaotian's hand, the two brothers walked out together. Mei Jinfeng did not come out from the darkness until they were out of sight. In fact, he wanted to stop them just now, but Li Bai did not let them stop.

"Why not stop them? If we let them go, there is a high possibility of danger. This kind of danger is not something we can stop."

After all, the couple had already lost their humanity long ago, and Li Bai certainly knew that, but he felt that it would not work to stop them. If they could have been stopped, what happened now would not have happened.

"Wait a moment, I'll go over and take a look. After all, if we want to catch them and understand their purpose, we have to let Lan Xiaoying practice it himself."

"If we just talk about it, I believe the child might still be shaken. Besides, doesn't he have other brothers and sisters? Those children will also suffer from the clutches of the couple because of this."

Mei Jinfeng could only agree. After all, what Li Bai said was true, and Li Bai was also right. There was no element of falsehood. In that case, she could only let Lan Xiaoying go over and take a look first.

Being taken to a corner, Lan Xiaoying looked at the alley in front of him and was unwilling to go in.

"Xiaotian, tell me seriously whether your parents forced you to do this. If your parents did force you, I think you can leave. If you want to eat chicken legs in the future, your brother can hunt a pheasant for you and let you eat the whole chicken." Lan Xiaotian nervously grabbed his pants with his hands. He didn't know what was going on, but his brother was so serious and kept questioning him.

If he didn't say anything, it would seem a bit awkward, so he had to nod vigorously.

"It's true that my parents asked me to bring you here, but they said you haven't come home yet, and they are worried and want you to go home."

"Brother, can you just come home with me? You haven't been home for all these years. I don't even recognize you. Even my other brothers and sisters don't recognize you anymore."

In the world of children, all they can rely on is their family. They have never left their families and don’t know what is good for them.

If Lan Xiaoying had not met Li Bai, he would most likely have come back the moment his parents picked him up with just a few words of coaxing, but now he is sensible.

"Xiaotian, your parents are usually not nice to you, so just follow your brother. Let's not go over there, okay?"

Lan Xiaotian was silent. He was struggling, and all he was thinking about were a few chicken legs. The chicken legs were almost fighting with each other in his mind.

The middle-aged man walked out from the darkness. He knew that Lan Xiaoying must have some ulterior motives. Since this child was able to run away in the first place, he would definitely not let them control him now.

Sure enough, he saw the scene as soon as he arrived here.

"You want to kidnap your brother. You are so bold. I was so good to you, but you didn't want to stay at home and even ran away with someone else. Even if I were to feed an ungrateful wolf, I would have already tamed him."

As the man spoke, Lan Xiaotian felt regretful, as if his father was going to be angry again.

Lan Xiaoying stretched his neck and looked at the father in his memory. It was his father who had taken away his grandmother's ashes.

"You were obviously not nice to us, and you even forced us to apologize to grandma, but it wasn't us who killed grandma, it was you who killed her."

"You even wanted to sell me to a butcher as his wife. I didn't want to, but you beat me into agreeing. In the end, I died before I even got married."

He revealed the dark things that happened in the family's past. Lan Xiaotian was too young to know anything about it. He only knew about chicken legs. Death was just a vague concept to him.

The middle-aged man was afraid that others would hear it, so he walked up immediately and quickly covered Lan Xiaoying's mouth. If others knew about this, he would no longer be able to live in the town.

He will be criticized by others, and besides, he has done so many good things, isn't it just to win some reputation?

"Shut up right now. Your grandma died on her own. It has nothing to do with me. It was clearly your grandma who accidentally fell off the cliff and died. Don't talk about these things anymore."

Lan Xiaoying struggled hard. He couldn't let the middle-aged man take him and his brother away. He was already miserable enough. His brother had just started his life and hadn't seen the dark side yet.

She grabbed Lan Xiaotian's arm and tried to escape, but found that she could not break free from the man's shackles.

"If you let me go, I won't go with you."

"Even if you don't want to go with me today, you have to go with me. Who told you to stay outside for so long? If you died, I wouldn't care about you anymore, but you didn't die. You'd be a nuisance if I kept you here." (End of this chapter)
