Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Xiao Lichu hadn't walked far with the girl when they encountered her mother, who had come out looking for her.

My mother had a bruised and swollen face, and her expression was full of anxiety.

"What are you doing running around like that, you little kid! Don't you know it's the middle of the night! What if you get into danger?!"

His tone was urgent, almost tearful.

This brought tears to Xiao Lichu's eyes once again.

The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was only after a long time that Li's mother noticed that there was a girl standing next to her son.

She was thin and small, looking like she was only 6 or 7 years old.

After calming down, Li's mother asked Li Chu who the girl was. Little Li Chu wiped away his tears and, choking back sobs, explained the whole story.

The more Li's mother listened, the more serious her expression became. She guessed that the girl had probably run away from home and had been wandering outside for a long time, suffering countless hardships. As a mother, she couldn't bear to see her child suffer, even if it was someone else's child.

She spoke softly, looking at the girl and asking her several questions in a row, trying to understand the girl's background and situation.

The girl knew nothing when asked. She tilted her head and looked at her, as if she couldn't understand what she was saying.

Mother Li finally realized something was wrong. The girl seemed to have some intellectual problems. She might not be able to speak or understand human language and had no common sense at all, which was why she was able to eat the flowers.

It was getting late, so Li's mother decided to go home first and make plans for the next day.

The person at home is already fast asleep in bed, so the house is safe for now.

After bringing the two children home, Li's mother first gave the girl a bath.

The girl, after being cleaned up, was completely transformed; her features were delicate like a porcelain doll, and she was so beautiful she seemed unreal.

The mother and son were both stunned.

I thought to myself, "I've really struck gold!"

"Goodness, how could you bear to throw away a child like that?" Mother Li had always wanted a daughter, but because Li Chu's father was of questionable character, she dared not have a second child.

Li's mother didn't dare tell Li's father about this. The next day, she took the girl to the police station, but they couldn't find any information about the girl's identity. Asking the girl herself was also of no use.

She then asked the police officer what would happen to the girl, and the answer was that she would most likely be sent to an orphanage.

Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was somewhat reluctant, at least they had somewhere to go. She comforted herself, telling herself that they were just strangers who had met by chance.

Then, the next second when I got home, I saw my son and the girl sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Li's mother was in a daze at the time.

She rushed up to ask the girl how she got back, but the girl still didn't respond, just blinked her big eyes at her.

My heart almost melted from cuteness!

Her affection gave rise to selfishness, and she tentatively asked, "Would you like to stay in our house?"

She hadn't held out much hope, but the girl nodded after a long silence.

Xiao Lichu, who was standing next to her, immediately cheered, happy that she had such a beautiful girl as her younger sister.

Putting aside the father's concerns for now, the mother, with gentle eyes, looked up and ruffled the girl's hair, thinking that since they were going to become a family, they should first give her a name.

"Since I met you at dawn, how about the character 'Han'? It means the first rays of sunlight, the sky is about to brighten."

The girl smiled.

Mother Li knew this was her way of expressing affection, because the child's lips hadn't fallen down during breakfast, and coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, her smile was truly captivating.

Originally, Li's mother wanted the girl to take her surname, Lin, and be named Lin Han. Later, after Li's father learned of the girl's existence, he initially disagreed and asked her to send the girl away as soon as possible. Li Cu, who was inside the house, heard the commotion and came out to plead. The girl also came out with him.

No one dislikes a beautiful child, especially one who is strikingly beautiful.

Li Han ultimately stayed.

As time went by, Xiao Lihan not only grew more beautiful, but also became increasingly intelligent.

Li Chu often wondered why his younger sister had become so mature. Despite being a year younger than him, her behavior and actions were so mature that he seemed like the younger brother.

Another point is that his younger sister would often look at him with a look he couldn't understand. Later, when he grew up and looked back, Li Chu felt that it was pity.

That's strange. How could an eleven or twelve-year-old child have compassion for others? And what is it about them that he has compassion for?

Li Han would also often say things that Li Cu couldn't understand.

such as.

[Brother, do you believe that fate can be changed?]

[There's something my brother is doing that I'm not sure I can succeed at, but I'm willing to try because I believe I can.]

[Brother, all I wish for you is a simple life, to be an ordinary person living a peaceful and happy existence.]

[Brother, don't torture yourself with resentment.]

[Brother, don't let your obsession hold you back.]

Li Han said many similar things intermittently, sounding profound and unfathomable like a little adult.

Li Chu shook his head with a helpless smile after hearing this.

He felt that what the teacher said in class made a lot of sense.

When children are not yet mentally mature, they may blindly and persistently try to pretend to be adults.

He felt that Li Han was just like that.

But as it turns out, Li Han really did grow up very quickly, showing extraordinary intelligence in just one year after coming to his home.

At nine years old, while other children were just starting third grade, Li Han was already able to hold a junior high school exam paper and work on it with great interest.

At 10 years old, an age when she should be in elementary school, Li Han has already mastered high school material and is working on university-level problems.

Everyone realized that Li Han was an absolute genius.

Li Han's radiance was so intense that it drove Li Cu to keep moving closer to the light source.

One time, when Li's mother happened to be away from home, Li Cu naturally became the punching bag for his drunken father. Li Cu fell into deep despair, but was thankful that his younger sister was in the house and safe.

But just as the fist was about to fall, little Li Han rushed out, pushed her father to the ground, grabbed Li Cu who was huddled in the corner, and ran away.

Li Han is not only intelligent, but also very strong.

Li Chu had already experienced this when they first met.

He stared intently at Li Han's retreating figure, and his feelings subtly changed at that moment.

However, Li Chu was unaware of this at that time.

Since that day, Li Han has been hunched over the computer every day, typing away on the keyboard, and every month she also hands over a considerable sum of money to her family.

Their family visibly became wealthier. After escaping the daily grind of cooking and cleaning, people's temperaments gradually became more peaceful. Father Li's work pressure suddenly decreased, and although he occasionally drank heavily, he no longer resorted to violence. The whole family also frequently went on trips.

Those four years were among the few truly warm and cherished times in Li Cu's memory.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

That light, named Li Han, suddenly disappeared on an ordinary night.

They came from nowhere, and they leave nowhere.

His sister took him out of hell, gave him a brief period of happiness and joy, and then abandoned him and left.

He ran frantically throughout the city, finally returning exhausted to the park where they first met.

Then, to my despair, I discovered something even more cruel.

The kerria flowers have faded, and his world has been plunged into a deep winter ever since.
