Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"I'm going to take a rest now. If the towel on your sister's head is cold, change it. This is the last basin. If you feel the water in the basin is cold, you don't need to cover her with a towel anymore."

After saying that, Xiao Yixian left the room. Feng Qing'er glanced at the boy, then followed Xiao Yixian out and closed the door gently.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Feng Qing'er who came out with her and smiled slightly.

"Sorry for the hard work. You should go to bed first."

"."

Feng Qing'er did not answer, but just stared at the Little Medical Fairy quietly without saying a word.

Little Medical Fairy felt a little frightened by Feng Qing'er's stare at her, and couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Feng Qing'er was silent for a while, then shrugged slightly.

"Nothing, I'm just very curious about you and Xiao Yan. This is the first time I've seen people like you."

After saying that, Feng Qing'er slowly walked away under Xiao Yixian's dazed gaze and returned to her room on the third floor. Xiao Yixian stood there in a daze, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.

His face turned extremely ugly.

Curious?

It’s okay for you to be curious about me, but don’t be curious about Xiao Yan!

The little medical fairy suddenly felt very irritated and couldn't help rubbing her hair.

In the end, things began to develop according to my worst expectations!

But there is really no other way.

Who wouldn’t be curious about Xiao Yan when meeting him?

After a long time, Xiao Yixian sighed deeply.

What can we do?

Not to mention that Feng Qing'er came here to repay Xiao Yan's favor, Xiao Yan asked Feng Qing'er to come over to take care of the child. Could Xiao Yixian force Xiao Yan to drive her away?

I am so tired.

Originally, Xiao Yixian thought that she was already far ahead of Nalan Yanran because she had been following Xiao Yan all the time.

But now it seems that the price of following Xiao Yan is not small.

In comparison, Nalan Yanran could at least turn a blind eye to it.

"I hope the calligraphy and painting I put up in her room will be useful."

The Little Medical Fairy returned to her room with a hunched back, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Inside the room, the boy sat on a chair, staring at the girl sleeping peacefully on the bed. Until now, the fear in his heart has not completely subsided.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan told me the location of this place before he left, otherwise his sister would have been...

The boy's thoughts suddenly stopped and he didn't dare to think further.

At the same time, he felt a deep gratitude towards Xiao Yan and the other two, and felt lucky to have met Xiao Yan.

A few minutes later, the door was gently pushed open. The boy turned around and saw Xiao Yan walked in with a bowl and gently placed it in front of him.

"Eat. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long, right?"

Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of him, the boy's stomach couldn't help but growl. He looked a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, I've already troubled you."

"You have to eat well so that you can have the strength to take care of your sister." Xiao Yan interrupted the boy and smiled slightly, "Even if not for yourself, for your sister, you have to take care of yourself."

"."

Xiao Yan's words left the boy speechless.

Finally, he whispered.

"Thank you."

Then he picked up the spoon and drank the porridge in small sips. Xiao Yan leaned against the wall and watched quietly.

When the boy had eaten almost half of it, Xiao Yan slowly asked.

"Can you tell me your and your sister's names?"

The boy paused for a moment while drinking his porridge, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

After meeting Xiao Yan twice and receiving great favors from Xiao Yan twice, the boy should not hide it for both moral and logical reasons.

"My name is Wen Xing, and my sister's name is Liu Yiyi."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Aren't you siblings?"

"No, I have three younger brothers and a younger sister at home. I picked them up when they were almost starving to death."

Hearing the boy Wen Xing's words, Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Why do you do this? This shouldn't do you any good, right?"

Feng Qing'er also asked herself this question.

But for Xiao Yan, as long as it is beneficial to his righteous path, he will benefit from it.

However, the place where Wen Xing lives is the Black Horn Region.

Children like them, who are from the lowest class, are already struggling on the edge of life, and can only survive by stealing and rummaging through trash cans for food. Helping others without reason will only become a burden to themselves.

If they were blood relatives like Lu Yao and her brother, Xiao Yan could still understand it.

But why did Wen Xing do this?

Xiao Yan's question made Wen Xing silent for a long time, and after a long time he sighed deeply.

"Why?" Wen Xing turned his head and looked at Liu Yiyi on the bed, and said softly: "I'm not sure, but every time I see younger brothers and sisters who are about to starve to death on the side of the road, I can't help but lend a helping hand to them."

Wen Xing paused and continued.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been saved like this before.”

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, with some emotion in his eyes.

"Tell me about it. Tell me what you've been through."

Chapter 309 Until Death

"When I was very young, I was about to starve to death in an alley, but an older brother gave me a moldy steamed bun, which allowed me to survive."

"After that, he took me to live with him and went to the streets to steal things every day to make a living."

"I tried to go with him several times, but he refused because he said it was dangerous."

As he said this, a faint nostalgic smile appeared on Wen Xing's lips.

"He is really a very optimistic person. Among all the children in the Black Horn Region that I have met, he is really the most optimistic one. And his IQ seems to have some problems, at least not as good as mine."

“He always had a smile on his face, and the words he said to me the most were ‘Tomorrow will be better.’”

"At the same time, he is really too kind, so kind that it makes people want to beat him up."

"Even though they themselves were starving, when they saw children who were about to die, they would still give them the little food they had left."

"Gradually, the number of children he took care of increased. In order to feed them, he began to steal more and more frequently."

"He was beaten to the point of dying several times, but he could still smile and say 'he deserved it'. He never restrained himself, but instead became even more aggressive."

"At least in my impression, he never seemed to be full, and any extra bites he had were left for his younger brothers and sisters."

"If he was alone, he would have left the Black Horn Region long ago with all that money."

Wen Xing spoke calmly, and Xiao Yan could feel from his tone the gratitude that Wen Xing had for the "big brother" he mentioned.

But the next second, Wen Xing's tone suddenly dropped.

"But on that day, it seemed like he stole from someone he shouldn't have."

"The other party did not catch him immediately, but followed him back home."

"Those who followed us killed all the younger brothers and sisters adopted by our big brother."

Wen Xing's words trembled slightly, and Xiao Yan felt extremely heavy-hearted.

"That was the first time I saw the smile on my elder brother's face disappear. He showed a look of panic and tried his best to stop those people."

"But what can a hungry child like him do?"

"I still remember the look of death on his face."

"While I was running away, one of the girls I was closest to fell down."

"I can run away with her if I just give her a hand."

"But when I saw those people catching up with her, I was so scared that my mind went blank."

"By the time I came to my senses, my legs had already run away without my control."

“When I mustered up the courage to go back, I saw those people casually dragging the girl’s body towards our home.”

"In the end, I watched with my own eyes as my older brother and his brothers and sisters were burned in the flames, along with our home."

“I was there, watching.”

Wen Xing's voice was extremely low, and Xiao Yan's expression was also dark and creepy.

This is really not a good story.

As if recalling painful memories, Wen Xing calmed down for a long time, looked at Liu Yiyi lying on the bed, and whispered.

"Every time I think back to that time, I always feel that it would have been better for me to die with my big brother and my brothers and sisters. At least I wouldn't have survived alone like a coward."

"I think this is why I adopted these brothers and sisters."

"It's like I'm imitating my older brother's behavior, or to alleviate my guilt, or to make my life more valuable."

"It makes me feel that my life is still useful."

"After all, I just use my brothers and sisters as an excuse to live with a clear conscience."

After hearing Wen Xing's words, Xiao Yan remained silent for a long time.

Should he blame Wen Xing for abandoning the girl?

At that time, he was just a child and he was just following his survival instinct.

But should I comfort Wen Xing? Comfort him not to dwell on the sad past?

How is this possible?

To put it bluntly, Wen Xing was able to survive thanks to the sacrifices of his brothers and sisters. How could he forget that?

After thinking for a long time in his mind, Xiao Yan sighed heavily.

Looking at Wen Xing, he asked in a low voice.

"When you tell me about your past, do you want me to scold you? Or comfort you?"

"."

Wen Xing remained silent and did not answer.

Xiao Yan said again.

"Since you don't choose either side, then I won't choose either. You are just a child, there is no need to let yourself bear such a heavy burden." Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to open the door of the room and said lightly: "I only want to say one thing, no matter why you adopted your brother and sister, it doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that they are alive today because of your care, and you are willing to give up your life for them, right?"

Xiao Yan said softly, then left the room and closed the door gently.

Xiao Yan's words just now made the older brother's words suddenly begin to circle in Wen Xing's mind.

[You don’t have to act like an adult, you are just a child, smile more~]

Wen Xing sat in the chair in a daze, his vision began to blur, he lowered his head, and sobbed softly.

Two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably

Outside the room, Xiao Yan stood at the door, unable to calm down for a long time.
