Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing swallow his words back into his stomach.

He could choose not to eat, but he couldn't let his sister starve just to maintain his little dignity. This was something Wen Xing couldn't accept.

Whether it is Liu Yiyi or his other brothers and sisters, they are far more important to Wen Xing than his own life, not to mention the almost useless dignity.

Xiao Yan took the two of them to wash up, then took the four children downstairs and led them to the living room.

Feng Qing'er and Xiao Yixian were already waiting at the table, which was already filled with white porridge corresponding to the number of people.

At this time, Xiao Yan discovered a problem.

The table is a bit, small.

The table was designed to seat six people at best, but now it seats seven.

(Let’s go back and change the table.)

Xiao Yan pressed his neck. He didn't mind eating while standing, but other children would come in the future, and there would definitely not be enough tables.

"Xiao Yiyi, how do you feel?"

Seeing Xiao Yiyi looking at Liu Yiyi and asking with concern, Liu Yiyi was inexplicably not afraid of the older sister in front of her, so she nodded slightly and said in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's okay, thank you, big sister."

"Really? That's good." The little doctor felt a little more relaxed, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, have breakfast. Be careful of the heat~"

Then Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan who was standing beside the table and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Xiao Yan, chair"

"It's okay, I can just eat while standing." Xiao Yan chuckled, "I'll go change the table and buy a few chairs later."

When Wen Xing heard the conversation between the two, he realized that there were not enough chairs, so he wanted to jump down immediately after sitting down.

Xiao Yan has given himself too much.

He helped me a lot yesterday, gave me 30,000 yuan for nothing, and also helped my sister with her illness and let the two of them stay overnight. But now, because of the arrival of me and my sister, he doesn't even have a place to sit and eat.

However, before he could make any move, Xiao Yan, who had noticed something, pressed his shoulder and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak, just enjoy your meal."

"."

Wen Xing looked at Xiao Yan who was standing at the table and drinking porridge from the bowl. After a long silence, he also started to eat breakfast like everyone else.

Although it was just white porridge, it was still a pretty good breakfast. Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian and Feng Qing'er were all cultivators, and they cared too much about how rich the food was. What's more, it was breakfast, so as long as it was edible, it was fine.

Not to mention the remaining two pairs of siblings, Wen Xing and Lu Qiong. For these wild kids who had no food to eat, white porridge was really a luxury food, so naturally they would not be picky at all.

After dinner, Xiao Yixian stood up to clear the table, while Wen Xing pulled his sister off the chair, came to Xiao Yan and lowered his head heavily.

"Thank you very much for your help, and I will find a way to return the three gold coins I gave you yesterday."

As Wen Xing said this, Liu Yiyi beside him also imitated her brother and lowered her head timidly.

Xiao Yan looked at Wen Xing who lowered his head to him. After a long time, he squatted down slightly and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Are you going to take your sister back?"

"Well, my brothers and sisters are waiting at home. If I don't go back soon, they will be worried."

Wen Xing nodded, Xiao Yan paused and said softly.

"Do you want to stay here with your sister?"

"Forehead?!"

Xiao Yan's words made Wen Xing's shoulders tremble slightly.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't want to stay here.

Apart from other things, there was a house to shelter them from the wind and rain, bedding to keep out the wind and cold, and white porridge that they couldn't eat on weekdays. In just less than half a day, Wen Xing and his sister enjoyed a life that was unimaginable before.

Even though this is just the life of a normal family, it is already a luxury for children like these.

However, even though Wen Xing was so excited, he remained firm in his heart and shook his head.

"No, I have brothers and sisters to take care of."

Wen Xing really wanted to live in this place, and after what happened yesterday, even if it was just for one day, he didn't think Xiao Yan was the kind of person who had any plans for them, at least he wouldn't hurt them.

But because of this, Wen Xing really couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

Yesterday, there was really no other way.

What's more, if I and my sister live here, what about my other adopted brothers and sisters?

I am enjoying a comfortable life here, but they are still living a miserable life.

Wen Xing really couldn't do that.

Once I do this, my life will really be meaningless.

It would have been better if I had been burned to death together with my older brother and brothers and sisters.

Wen Xing has already survived once, and he doesn't want to survive it a second time.

After hearing Wen Xing's answer and seeing the expression on Wen Xing's face, Xiao Yan seemed to have guessed something.

My heart couldn't help but feel heavy.

Wen Xing seems to be the same type of person as me.

It seems that he is wholeheartedly caring about his younger brothers and sisters, and this is indeed the case.

But this is just a means for him to achieve his goal.

His real purpose should be just to escape, to escape from his cowardly self.

And, to atone for the cowardly self I once was.

But Xiao Yan wanted to tell Wen Xing.

It wasn't his fault that he was cowardly at the beginning.

He is definitely not the one who is wrong.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and continued while looking at Wen Xing.

"Because you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, you can't stay, right?"

"Ah."

Wen Xing nodded solemnly, without any hesitation in his eyes.

But the next moment, Xiao Yan’s words made him stand there in a daze.

Xiao Yan just smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Then, as long as you bring your brothers and sisters over to take care of them together, everything will be fine, right?"

"Eh?!"

Xiao Yan's words shocked Wen Xing both physically and mentally.

Before he could come to his senses, Xiao Yan's voice gradually entered his ears.

"Don't worry about the rooms. There are definitely enough. If things don't work out, it's fine for several children to live in one room."

"There is enough food, and if your brothers and sisters get sick again, we can take care of them immediately."

"Is this a good choice for you and your brothers and sisters?"

It took Wen Xing a long time to come back to his senses after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

I couldn't help but ask in a daze.

"What good will it do you?"

Wen Xing couldn't understand what Xiao Yan would gain by doing this.

How could anyone do such a stupid thing when they paid a lot but got nothing in return?

Wen Xing thought so in his heart, and then suddenly denied it.

No, some

Wen Xing's mind immediately emerged with the image of the older brother who saved him when he was on the verge of death.

Without me and those brothers and sisters, he could obviously live a better life.

But he still continued to add burdens to himself.

Not even death.

Thinking back to the panicked face of my older brother when he was dying, it still appears in my nightmares until now.

Wen Xing's heart was trembling, and his eyes were red, moist, and trembling.

He lowered his head, his dirty hair covering his eyes, and muttered softly.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"What good will this do to you?"

"Isn't it enough to just live your own life? What does the life and death of others have to do with you?!"

The last sentence was roared out by Wen Xing in anger.

Is he blaming Xiao Yan? Or is he blaming the big brother deep in his memory?

Wen Xing himself couldn't figure it out either.

Liu Yiyi, who was standing aside, looked at Wen Xing, her little eyes full of worry, and she tightly grasped the corner of Wen Xing's tattered clothes.

Wen Xing's roar also led Xiao Yixian out of the kitchen. She stood at the kitchen door and quietly looked at Xiao Yan's back.

Lu Qiong and Lu Jing, who were sitting at the table, stared blankly, while Feng Qing'er's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan's face.

She also wanted to know the answer.

She wanted to know what exactly drove Xiao Yan to do such a thing that wasted time, money, and energy without any reward.

When Xiao Yan heard Wen Xing's roar, he closed his eyes slightly.

Silently, pondering the answer.

Is it for your own righteous path?

of course.

Your own right path is the source of all your actions and the rule for everything you do.

But I can’t answer like that.

The Wen Xing in front of him was just a child who was forcing himself to mature.

He couldn't understand such vague things as the righteous path.

The only way to answer his question is to use real words.

Xiao Yan's thoughts became clear, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Xing in front of him.

He spoke quietly but firmly.

"Because I wanted to, that's all."

？ ！！

Xiao Yan's answer made Wen Xing suddenly pause. He raised his head blankly and looked at Xiao Yan in front of him.

Feng Qing'er was also stunned. He never expected that Xiao Yan would give such an answer.

Little Medical Fairy smiled softly and looked at Xiao Yan's back with tenderness in her eyes.

Yes, sometimes the answer is that simple.

There is no need to pursue whether Xiao Yan insisted on the righteous path or some other vague things.

Just saying "I want to do it" is enough as a reason.

Xiao Yan looked at the dazed Wen Xing and smiled slightly.

“Isn’t that the way people do a lot of things?”

"Just like the people you see every day, do whatever you want to do."
