Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Because we lived here before, and my sister said we couldn't be discovered by others, otherwise we would get hurt."

The little boy answered in a low voice.

The little boy himself didn't understand why he would be hurt if others found out they lived here, it was just because his sister told him that they must not be found out they lived here.

The little boy’s sister didn’t tell him the more specific reason.

After hearing the little boy's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian were silent for a moment.

Immediately, Xiao Yan spoke slowly, but did not continue to dwell on this issue.

"Can you tell me the names of you, your sister, and your elder sister?"

Xiao Yan asked softly in a gentle tone.

The little boy paused, then answered in a low voice.

"My name is Lu Qiong, my sister's name is Lu Jing, and my sister's name is Lu Yao."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Xiao Yan, and the sister next to me is Xiao Yixian."

After introducing himself, Xiao Yan wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's uneasy expressions, Xiao Yan's words were stuck in his throat.

Last night, he had discussed with Little Medical Fairy how to explain their identities to the two children.

Although the reason was thought up by Xiao Yixian, Xiao Yan also agreed with it.

However, now that the words were on the tip of his tongue, Xiao Yan just couldn't say them.

This means that you have to lie.

If it were the Xiao Yan of the past, he would never do such a thing.

But now, he had to tell this lie, and it was also for the good of the two children.

However, although he knew it clearly in his heart, Xiao Yan just couldn't get over the hurdle of conscience.

Is it really okay to deceive them like this?

This lie cannot continue forever.

No matter how well-intentioned a lie is, it is still a lie, a word used to deceive others.

If one day in the future, these two children learned the truth, would it be more cruel than telling them the truth directly now?

All kinds of concerns hung over Xiao Yan's heart like a haze.

The Little Medical Fairy at the side glanced at Xiao Yan's struggling eyes and sighed slightly in her heart.

That's why she was worried about Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had too many things to worry about.

At this stage, there is no need to consider what will happen in the future. The top priority is to get these two children to accept them.

There’s no other way, I have to do it.

The Little Medical Fairy breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly to the two children.

"Actually, we were asked by your sister to take care of you."

"elder sister?"

When they heard what Little Medical Fairy said, a glow instantly appeared in Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's eyes.

The light was so dazzling that Xiao Yan dared not look directly at it, and his guilty conscience was also stirring.

But in the end, Xiao Yan still held on and did not interrupt Xiao Yixian, allowing her to continue speaking.

"Yes." Xiao Yixian smiled and nodded. "Your sister went to a very far place to make money, so she asked me and big brother to take care of you. Your sister also told us where the money was hidden."

To be honest, there are surprisingly many loopholes in what Xiao Yixiang said.

Why didn't they say it in the beginning?

Why should they help Lu Yao take care of her younger brothers and sisters?

Even if she paid, could Lu Yao really trust her most important brother and sister to outsiders? Besides, could Lu Yao really afford it?

If Lu Yao really asked them to take care of her younger siblings, how could she not tell them their names? Why did Xiao Yan ask for their names?

Anyone with a normal mind would be able to find a lot of problems with the reason given by the Little Doctor.

Fortunately, Lu Qiong and Lu Jing in front of them were just two children, two children with simple thoughts who were well protected by their sister.

For these two children, the identity of an older sister is undoubtedly the most important.

No matter what Little Medical Fairy said, no matter how absurd it was, as long as Lu Yao's identity was revealed, they would definitely believe it.

After hearing what the Little Medical Fairy said, Lu Qiong and Lu Jing's vigilance towards the two of them visibly dropped to the lowest point.

Children’s thinking is really simple.

Neither Lu Qiong nor Lu Jing noticed the problem hidden in Little Medical Fairy's words. Instead, they solved all their previous doubts.

Why did Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian know where the gold coins were buried, why did Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian not hurt himself and his sister, why did Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian cook for himself and his sister.

If they were asked by their sister, then these things are normal and there is no problem.

Looking at the two children's eyes that already revealed trust, a hint of melancholy flashed in Little Medical Fairy's pupils.

Children are so deceitful.

Feeling the pain of conscience in her heart, Xiao Yixian finally understood Xiao Yan's feelings.

Even if the lies are well-intentioned, they are still deceiving the innocent hearts of children.

Even he couldn't stand it, let alone Xiao Yan, who was several times more upright than him, who couldn't accept it even more. No wonder he couldn't say it.

Immediately, the little medical fairy adjusted her mentality and shook her hand gently.

"So, you two have to be good and obedient during this time, and be good children, and wait for your sister to come back and pick you up."

"Ok!"

Lu Qiong nodded heavily in response, and Lu Jing's face also showed joy. The Little Medical Fairy smiled and continued.

"Then finish your meal quickly, and we'll clean up the room together later~"

"Good~"

With the excuse made up by Little Medical Fairy, Lu Qiong and Lu Jing were no longer as reserved and fearful as before, and they ate their meal happily. Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy also smiled.

For these two children, their sister should be their only spiritual support.

Although it was a lie, it gave the two children hope after all.

After breakfast, Xiao Yixian cleaned up the dishes, and then she, Xiao Yan and the two children began to clean the room.

After all, this house has been vacant for a long time, and only a few rooms that are often used are relatively clean. I will be living here for at least a month, so I have to clean it thoroughly.

While cleaning, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan learned something else.

Lu Qiong, the younger sister, cannot speak, seemingly out of her natural instinct.

To be more precise, he is a mute.

No wonder Lu Jing hadn't responded before and only Lu Qiong was speaking. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian originally thought that the child was too afraid of giving birth.

After learning this, the two felt even more sympathetic towards the brother and sister.

The Little Medical Fairy helped Lu Qiong to figure out what was going on, but ultimately she shook her head helplessly.

I cannot solve this problem with my own medical skills.

Xiao Yan asked Yao Chen in the ring, and Yao Chen gave a confident answer.

(Dumb? What's that? We can just make a pill and it will be solved.)

With Yao Chen's many years of experience, what kind of difficult and complicated diseases has he not seen?

She even had a way to suppress the poisonous body of Little Medical Fairy, let alone a mere mute.

However, although the elixir can be easily refined, Lu Qiong’s strength must be at least that of a fighter.

It’s not that one must be extremely strong, but Lu Qiong must at least be a fighter in order to absorb the medicinal power safely.

But no matter what, having hope is a good thing.

Xiao Yan also told the two children about this matter, and they both showed joyful expressions.

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you telling the truth?"

Lu Qiong excitedly confirmed once again, and Lu Jing's eyes were also full of hope.

"It's true." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, "But we can do it later. There's no rush now."

"Ok!"

Lu Qiong nodded heavily, while the Little Medical Fairy asked in confusion with one hand on her waist.

"How do you usually communicate with your sister? Sign language?"

"No." Lu Qiong shook her head gently, then turned to look at Lu Jing lovingly. "Although Xiao Jing can't speak, for some reason, my sister and I know what she wants to say just by looking into her eyes."

“Oh~ I see.”

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Lu Jing with some surprise.

Is this the unique telepathy between brothers and sisters?

"Xiao Yixian, you take the children to clean the room first, I'll go buy some household items."

Xiao Yan whispered to the little medical fairy, no one had lived here before, and there were so many things that these children just found rags to make do with. This is not okay.

"Ah."

Xiao Yixian nodded slightly in response, and then Xiao Yan left the house and walked towards the street.

On the way, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

I originally thought that the house was too remote, but now it seems not bad. At least no one would go to a place where there is no sunlight.

With Xiao Yixiang's current strength, there would be no problem for her to stay in the house with two children alone.

When he came to the street, Xiao Yan scanned the left and right sides of the street, looking for stores selling household items.

After a long time, Xiao Yan twitched his mouth helplessly.

Perhaps this thing is not very common in the Black Horn Region. Xiao Yan walked around several streets but couldn't find a similar store.

"It's a headache. Is the only way to go to the auction house?"

Xiao Yan scratched his hair lightly. Generally speaking, as long as something is available in the city, the auction house will have it.

But to buy this kind of thing, Xiao Yan really didn't want to go to the auction house.

There is no special reason, just one word.

expensive.

The auction house does have a wide range of items, but the prices are basically two or three times higher than those in roadside shops. Moreover, this is in the Black Horn region. Even if it is just an ordinary household item, it would cost a lot of money to buy it at the auction house.

With the idea of ​​not wanting to waste money, Xiao Yan turned a few more streets but still couldn't find the place. He even asked a few people for directions, but they either ignored him or didn't know where to buy household items.

"Oh, can we only go to the auction house?"

Xiao Yan sighed deeply, and Yao Chen in the ring also sounded somewhat helpless.

(No way, household items are basically not used in the Black Corner Region, so naturally there are not many stores.)

To put it simply, the Black Horn Region is a large-scale business circle. Those who live here are either of the highest status or of the lowest status.

People of noble status have specially customized household items, while people of humble status simply do not need them and cannot afford them. Without demand, there will naturally be no buying and selling.

There was no other way. Even though Xiao Yan was extremely reluctant, he had to go to the auction house.

Xiao Yan raised his foot and walked towards the auction house. However, when he passed a corner in front of him, a figure suddenly rushed out and knocked Xiao Yan to the ground.

Immediately, Xiao Yan felt his vision become dim. Looking at the slightly patterned cloth in front of him and the soft touch on both sides of his cheeks, Xiao Yan frowned in confusion and was unable to react for a while.

Eh?

what is this?

Just when Xiao Yan was at a loss, his body was violently kicked away, and then he heard a familiar voice that sounded extremely shameful and angry.
