Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

But generally speaking, those who are overly compassionate are those who are too nice.

However, when Xiao Yixian thought back to what Xiao Yan had done in the past, she couldn't associate Xiao Yan with a goody-goody no matter how hard she tried. Instead, Xiao Yan was even more abnormal than a goody-goody.

When Xiao Yan really kills people, he shows no mercy.

"Let's go check out the house first."

Xiao Yan said this, opened the door with the key, entered with Xiao Yixian, and looked around the house along the corridor.

Immediately, both of them frowned.

Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian clearly remembered the teller saying that the house had been vacant for a long time, but there was not much dust in the house and there were obvious signs that someone had lived there for a long time.

Passing by the kitchen, Xiao Yan came to the stove and saw the wood that had been burnt into charcoal on the ground and a tattered cloth bag placed in the corner. Xiao Yan squatted down and opened it, and saw that it was filled with white rice.

"It seems that those two children have lived here for quite a long time."

Xiao Yixian stood behind Xiao Yan and said lightly. Xiao Yan nodded lightly, stood up and left the kitchen. Xiao Yixian followed him and went upstairs together.

There was nothing special about the room on the second floor, except for a few pieces of tattered paper on the table in the living room. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian went over to take a look and found that they were covered with some basic pinyin written in dirt. There were also some incomplete books next to them, as if someone was teaching others to read.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

The traces in the kitchen on the first floor proved that the two children usually cooked their own meals, but what about the words on it?

Neither Xiao Yan nor Xiao Yixian believed that the two young children had the ability to teach others to read. It was unlikely for either of them.

In this case, there is most likely a third person who can read.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian immediately turned around and went up to the third floor. The third floor was basically full of rooms. Xiao Yan opened a few rooms at random, and all of them raised a cloud of dust.

Then another room was opened. This time there was no dust. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian looked around the room and it seemed to be much larger than the other rooms.

The shabby wooden bed in the room was padded with various rags. When the wardrobe was opened, various worn-out clothes and shoes were placed inside, which looked similar in size to those of the two children.

“This should be where they usually live.”

Xiao Yan murmured, and then returned to the first floor with Xiao Yixian.

"The house is pretty good, but the location is a little bad."

Xiao Yan commented softly, and Little Medical Fairy glanced at him.

"If this house wasn't so remote, you probably wouldn't be able to rent it even at three times the price."

"That's right." Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly, then frowned slightly, "Let's go and find those two kids first."

If he suddenly rented this house, it would be equivalent to depriving the two children of their place to live. If something really happened to the two children outside, Xiao Yan would be extremely distressed.

What's more, I didn't rent this house for myself to live in.

Little Medical Fairy also vaguely understood why Xiao Yan was going to rent a house, and she spread her hands helplessly.

"Alas, I guessed you were going to do something stupid again." Xiao Yixian turned and left the house, calling to Xiao Yan: "Come with me."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion and followed Xiao Yixian out of the house. Then Xiao Yixian took Xiao Yan and started walking around the house, which made Xiao Yan feel quite strange.

"Little Doctor Fairy, what are you doing?"

"Those two kids must have lived here for quite a long time. They must have known that they might not be able to live here one day in the future. If they really encountered an emergency like today, they probably wouldn't have time to take things like clothes and food with them."

The little medical fairy explained softly.

"You also saw that the two children had nothing on them, right? They probably wanted to save their lives first, and then find time to come back and take away what they could."

"If that's the case, they should put the things that can ensure their survival outside the house so that it will be easier to get them when they come back."

Little Medical Fairy knows very well what these children are thinking.

Before I was adopted by Boss Yao, I often hid things like this when I was traveling around with my mother.

Xiao Yan followed Xiao Yixian in astonishment as he searched around the house. Sure enough, behind the house, in an inconspicuous place, the feeling was obviously different from other places when he stepped on it.

Then, Xiao Yixian's eyes narrowed slightly.

“I found it.”

Chapter 300: Save What I See and Do My Best

Late at night, in a single-family house in the south of Heiyin City.

Two furtive figures took advantage of the cover of night to quietly slip behind the house. They seemed afraid to make any noise. Their small bodies fell to the ground, groping carefully in the dark for something on the ground.

A few minutes later, one of them felt his body tremble, his expression full of joy, and he pulled another person, and they immediately began digging in the somewhat soft soil.

However, after digging up the ground, both of them were stunned, with despair written all over their little eyes.

empty.

Whatever they had buried here before was gone.

At this moment, a flame ignited from behind the two of them, accompanied by a leisurely female voice.

"You're really late. I thought you two weren't coming today."

The two of them instinctively shrank their shoulders, with fear on their faces, and slowly turned their heads. What they saw was the face of the Little Medical Fairy, which looked extremely frightening under the light of the torch.

In Xiao Yixian's other hand, she was casually tossing a heavy rag bag. As she tossed the bag, the sound of metal collision echoed in the rag bag.

As the firelight shone, the two sneaky people emerged from the darkness, revealing their true appearance.

It was the little boy I met when I came to see the house in the afternoon, and another little girl who was even younger.

Looking at the frightened eyes of the two, the Little Medical Fairy spoke slowly again.

"One bag contained a thousand gold coins, and there were more than thirty bags in total. It took a lot of effort for our boss to dig them all out."

The little medical fairy looked at the two children leisurely, and the little boy finally reacted at this time. He immediately grabbed the little girl and turned around to escape.

However, before the two could take two steps, another figure blocked their way.

It was Xiao Yan.

Seeing Xiao Yan standing in front of them, the little boy and girl's faces became even more terrified. Looking back, they saw the Little Medical Fairy holding a torch slowly approaching, her small body trembling violently to a degree visible to the naked eye.

Even so, the little boy still suppressed his fear and held the little girl tightly behind him, without any intention of abandoning the little girl and running away.

Then, under the little boy's horrified gaze, Xiao Yan squatted down slightly and slowly extended his hand towards the little boy.

Faced with Xiao Yan's actions, the little boy was extremely frightened and instinctively closed his eyes tightly.

Although the little boy was still young, he clearly understood what the Black Horn Region was like through his sister's teaching and what he saw with his own eyes.

Even if he and his sister were killed here, no one would seek justice for them.

Death is nothing but a waste of life.

Recalling the numerous humiliations he and his sisters had suffered in the Black Horn region, the little boy had a premonition.

This time, it may be the last.

However, after closing his eyes for a long time, the expected pain did not come. Instead, a warm, large hand gently stroked his head.

This unexpected situation shocked the little boy and he opened his eyes in surprise.

What he saw was Xiao Yan's eyes, which were filled with pity under the light of the fire.

Xiao Yan's eyes made the little boy stunned.

Of all the people he had met so far, he had only seen that look in his sister's eyes.

Immediately, Xiao Yan's gentle voice reached the little boy's ears.

"Sorry to scare you."

Xiao Yan looked at the little boy and girl in front of him with heartache and smiled helplessly.

At this moment, the little boy and the little girl were both stunned.

A few minutes later, the little boy and the little girl were brought into the house by Xiao Yan and the others, and were arranged to sit at the table in the living room on the first floor.

During this process, the little boy and the little girl no longer struggled.

Because, it's useless.

The little medical fairy lit the lamp in the living room on the first floor, and the darkness on the table was dispelled. What appeared in front of the little boy and girl were more than thirty neatly arranged cloth bags, which were the same style as the tattered cloth bag that the little medical fairy had held in her hand before.

The little medical fairy threw the rag bag in her hand on the table, turned and walked into the kitchen. After a while, she brought out two bowls of white porridge and placed them in front of the little boy and the little girl.

The little boy and the little girl stared blankly at the steaming porridge in front of them. Xiao Yan spoke softly with gentle eyes.

"Eat, you two must be hungry, right?"

As if to verify Xiao Yan's words, the little boy and girl's stomachs immediately rumbled.

I felt the arrival of Xiao Yan and others before I had time to cook in the afternoon. I luckily escaped and wandered outside until midnight before sneaking back. It was impossible for me not to be hungry.

But the little boy and the little girl looked at the white porridge in front of them with such desire in their eyes, but they did not move.

The little boy slowly raised his head, looked into Xiao Yan's black eyes, and whispered.

"My sister said that we can't eat food from strangers."

".Your sister is right."

Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then smiled helplessly.

He immediately stood up, reached out to pick up the spoon in the bowl of porridge in front of the little boy, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and then put the spoon into the little girl's bowl and repeated the same action.

After tasting two bowls of porridge in front of the two children, Xiao Yan put the spoon back into the little boy's bowl and said softly.

"So you don't have to worry about it, right?"

"."

The little boy was silent for a moment, turned his head slightly, and looked at the little girl who was looking at him eagerly.

Finally, he nodded slightly.

After getting the boy's consent, the little girl reached out to grab the bowl and fed the porridge into his mouth spoonful by spoonful. The little boy also began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian did not urge them and just watched silently.

About ten minutes later, the porridge in the two children's bowls was eaten up completely, without even a grain of rice left.

After watching the two children finish their meal and revealing satisfied expressions, Xiao Yan pointed at the purse on the table and asked in a slow and soft voice.

"Is this money yours?"

The little boy looked at Xiao Yan who was asking him questions, and he was still wary.

But thinking back to what Xiao Yan said to the scarred man in the afternoon, the little boy's instinct told him that Xiao Yan was different from the others.

After thinking for a long time, the little boy decided to trust his feelings.

"Yeah." The little boy nodded gently and answered in a low voice, "It was saved by my sister. My sister said that she would take us away from here when she saved enough money."

"elder sister?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. The little boy had just said that his sister told him not to eat food from strangers.

Now the little boy said that the money was saved by his sister. According to this calculation, it should be this sister who taught the little boy and girl to read.

"Where is your sister now?"

Xiao Yan asked again, but the little boy just shook his head slightly.

"I don't know. My sister didn't come back yesterday."

The little boy's words made Xiao Yan's heart sink, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at Little Medical Fairy.

Then the little medical fairy looked complicated and nodded slightly.

It should be, that's right.

The timing just matches.

The little medical fairy turned her head to look at the little boy and asked in a low voice.

"Your sister, is she a thief?"

The little doctor's words made the little boy tremble, but he did not answer.

However, although the little boy did not answer, seeing his reaction, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian also got the answer.
