After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 319 The Child’s Background (1)

"Oh, then Brother Chuan, you must have heard it wrong. I was just chatting with Xiao Anyu. We just became good friends and I was so happy. Why are you crying?"

Xia Mo said, but looking at Brother Chuan's behavior, he should have come up a long time ago, right?

I have to say, the one who knows Lingchuan best is Xia Mo.

Facing the young man's teasing gaze, Ling Chuan only said, "Maybe I heard it wrong."

Xia Mo glanced at the child who had shrunk into his shell and changed the subject, "Give me the porridge, you eat breakfast first."

"Yeah." Ling Chuan gave the bowl to the little brother, glanced at the child and walked away.

After sending the man away, Xia Mo turned to coax the cowering Xiao Anyu: "Come, drink the porridge first. Only when you are full and full can you grow taller and taller quickly."

Xiao Anyu only dared to look around when he heard the footsteps fade away.

Her nose was red and her eyes were red, and she would occasionally glance in the direction the man left.

Xia Mo was amused by his timid appearance and deliberately whispered, "Are you peeking at Uncle Ling?"

"No." The child denied it immediately and looked away.

Xia Mo smiled in his heart, but said "Oh" and said, "You seem to be quite afraid of Uncle Ling. Don't worry, your Uncle Ling just looks a little fierce and doesn't talk much. He usually doesn't hit children."

Knowing that Uncle Ling was still in the room, Xiao Anyu's back stiffened. His watery eyes instantly widened and he looked at his uncle with a smirk in front of him with disapproval.

Can I say this? What if someone hears it? Also, not hitting someone doesn’t mean not hitting them…

Xiao Anyu couldn't help but think of Ling Chuan's gloomy face, and immediately shook his head, "No!"

Xia Mo chuckled and handed him the bowl: "I think so too. Here, drink the porridge."

Xiao Anyu took it obediently, opened his little lips slightly, and said softly: "Thank you uncle... and thank you Uncle Ling."

"You're welcome. Come eat."

Xia Mo smiled. Even though his contact with the child was very brief, he could clearly realize that the child was not completely corroded by the darkness he had experienced, and still retained a piece of pure land in his heart. This was truly precious.

Gazing at the well-behaved child, Xia Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Xiao Anyu lowered his head to drink the porridge. This time he no longer wolfed it down, but instead grabbed the spoon and ate it mouthful by mouthful.

After eating a few bites, he suddenly seemed to think of something and turned to look at Xia Mo who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Uncle, go eat too. I'll call you when I'm ready." The child said hesitantly.

"Okay then. Remember to call uncle if you have any problem." Xia Mo didn't insist. He stood up and walked towards the dining table outside.

The kid seems quite uncomfortable with Brother Chuan around, so let’s just leave him alone for a while. After all, he didn’t gain nothing.

As for the rest, he just needs to ask someone and perhaps he will know the child's specific situation.

Xia Mo didn't wait long.

After breakfast, seeing that the child was in good spirits, Xia Mo changed his mind and asked the child if he wanted to go out with them.

Of course, the kid refused.

I asked the child if he wanted to stay here or go out with them.

After all, some pains took root and sprouted in his heart and could not be erased.

"Are you okay alone? Or you can go by yourself, Brother Chuan, and bring two sets of clothes for Xiao Anyu. I'll stay here with him." Xia Mo was worried about the child being alone in the inn.

However, before Ling Chuan agreed, Xiao Anyu said anxiously: "No, no, you don't have to buy me clothes. Uncle, you go too, I won't run around."

Xiao Anyu didn't want to appear in front of other people. Although Uncle Liu told him to be brave, he was still afraid...

"You really don't want to go?" Xia Mo squatted down and looked into the eyes of the child who lowered his head.

The child who didn't dare to look him in the face avoided his gaze, looked around aimlessly, picked at his fingers and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to go."

Xia Mo thought about it and felt that it was normal for children to be introverted, so he compromised.

"Okay then, but Xiao Anyu, you have to wait for your uncle to come back, okay? We'll be back soon, it won't take long."

The child nodded and said “hmm” twice.

"Then the uncles left?" Xia Mo brushed the child's loose hair, and then tucked the hair behind his ears. It seemed that in addition to clothes, he also had to buy a headband for the child.

"Okay." The child replied.

Ling Chuan looked at the little brother with his dark eyes: "Let's go, he's not a kid anymore."

Yeah, eight years old.

So Xia Mo stood up, gave a few more instructions, and left with Ling Chuan.

A doctor must be found. Even if the child has already been fed Linghu water, the medicine must be prescribed even if it is just for show.

But it was not very urgent, so while looking for a doctor, Xia Mo asked the waiter of the inn about the child.

It’s hard to say about other things, but it’s not certain about strange things.

As long as Lianhuaao is a village under the jurisdiction of Lingyun County, people like Xiaoer who hang out in crowded places are often the most well-informed.

"Sir, I know what you are asking about. Not only do I know it, but almost everyone within a hundred miles knows it." said the waiter of the inn.

Xia Mo was speechless. He didn't expect the child's matter to spread so widely.

He and Ling Chuan looked at each other and said, "Brother, can you tell me more about this?"

The guest asked, and since it was not a confidential matter, the inn waiter had no choice but to explain everything. At least it was a chance for him to take a break from his busy schedule.

"Lotus Valley is quite far from here. If it was an ordinary thing, we would definitely not know about it. However, the child was born with heterochromia and was born with bad luck, so the news spread quickly. Alas, I don't know if he is still alive."

After the inn waiter finished speaking, he sighed again, feeling that it was all about time and fate.

Sure enough, it was not just a question of eye color. Xia Mo frowned and didn't tell Xiao Anyu that he was staying in the inn and was still alive and well. He just said, "Brother, can you tell me more?"

The waiter at the inn wanted to say yes, but he happened to see that three or four tables of guests had finished their meals, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When Ling Chuan saw this, he took out a few copper coins and threw them to him.

"Wow!" The waiter's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled, thinking that it didn't matter even if he was scolded by the shopkeeper.

"Hey, it's not something that can't be spread. Of course you can tell it, hehe..." The inn waiter said as he put away the reward money.

Xia Mo nodded: "Then tell us quickly, little brother, why is this heterochromatic kid so unlucky? We brothers have something to do later."

The inn waiter immediately stopped smiling when he heard this, and said with a serious expression, "This matter has to start with the child's father."

"Lotus Valley sounds nice, but it's just a poor, remote mountain valley with many poor families, including the Xiao family, the father of the child."

"I heard that the Xiao family is not only poor, but also has many brothers and sisters. This big family is so poor that even eating has become a problem, let alone finding a wife."

The inn waiter paused, glanced at the two people who were listening attentively, and then changed the subject:

"But the three sons of the Xiao family finally got married. In order to continue the family line, Mr. Xiao found a family with a son and a daughter. The two sides reached an agreement and agreed to give their son and daughter to the other party's son as a daughter-in-law. In this way, there is no need to worry about the issue of betrothal gifts."
