Henry Zhang turned his head and took a look. It was a white figure that looked like a person.
But how can a person be so fast? Could it be that he is a practitioner?
After taking a few glances, Henry Zhang continued to walk down the mountain vigilantly.
Fortunately, that figure never appeared again.
Soon, Henry Zhang arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain.
After arriving below, he went to a house to beg for a drink of water.
"Grandma, are you the only one here? Where are the other people in your family?" Henry Zhang asked.
The old lady said: "My wife left last year, and my children are away from home and have not come back. I think they will only come back during the Chinese New Year."
At this time, Lan Xiaoxi also woke up. She looked around and asked in a daze: "Brother, where are we?"
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "We have reached the foot of the mountain."
"Is this your daughter?" the old woman looked at Lan Xiaoxi and asked with a smile.
When Henry Zhang heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. Didn't Lan Xiaoxi call her big brother just now? Why would she ask herself such a question.
But he didn't pay too much attention, maybe she didn't hear Lan Xiaoxi call her big brother just now.
He smiled and said: "No, she is my sister."
"Oh, it turns out to be my sister, she looks very cute." The old lady said with a smile.
Lan Xiaoxi looked at the old lady and smiled.
"By the way, grandma, is there a station or something nearby?" Henry Zhang asked.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "That's a bit far. It takes almost two hours to walk along the road outside to get to the bus station in the town."
"Brother, what is a car?" Lan Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
Henry Zhang smiled and said: “It’s just like a carriage.”
"Oh." Lan Xiaoxi nodded.
The old lady was a little surprised when Lan Xiaoxi asked: "Your sister seems to be in elementary school, right? Why..."
"Because something happened before, she never went to school." Henry Zhang explained.
The old woman nodded: "So, he is also a poor child."
"What is going to school?" Lan Xiaoxi looked at them with a puzzled face.
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: "Just go to school and study."
"So that's it." Lan Xiaoxi nodded.
"Xiaoxi, do you want to go to school?" Henry Zhang asked with a smile.
Lan Xiaoxi thought for a moment and said, "My mother once said that we are poor people and don't have money to study."
"It's okay, as long as you want to study, big brother can send you to study later." Xiao Yang said with a smile.
Lan Xiaoxi was a little happy: "Really? Can I also study with them?"
Henry Zhang nodded.
"Thank you, big brother!" Lan Xiaoxi happily hugged Henry Zhang's arm.
Henry Zhang smiled and said nothing more.
The two sat here for a while, said goodbye to the old lady, and then walked along the road towards the town.
Fortunately, a car happened to come on the road, and they hitched a ride and quickly reached the town.
When getting off the bus, Lan Xiaoxi smiled and thanked everyone.
Henry Zhang originally wanted to give the uncle some money, but he refused because the uncle thought it was just a drop-in, and it was nothing.
Later, Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi to the bus station.
After buying the tickets, the two took a car and left the town together.
Along the way, Lan Xiaoxi was like a curious baby, because she had never seen the houses and the so-called carriages here before.
"Brother, why is this carriage different from the one over there? Where is the horse? Why didn't I see it?" Lan Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: “The horses here are different from the horses over there.”
"Oh, okay." Lan Xiaoxi didn't ask any more, she just looked at the scenery outside the window and felt it was very novel.
Henry Zhang couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.
He was thinking that maybe she was a gift given to him by God. It was a good thing to have such a lovely sister.
In the evening, Xiao Yang brought Lan Xiaoxi to the county town. Because the tickets to the city were gone and he had to rush in early tomorrow, so Xiao Yang could only take her to stay here for one night and leave tomorrow.
The two came to a hotel.
"Please give us a double bed room and an extra quilt." Henry Zhang said and handed his ID to the front desk.
After getting the IDs at the front desk, they went to book a room for the two of them. Because Lan Xiaoxi was still very young, she didn't need any IDs.
After a while, the front desk opened a room for the two of them.
After paying the money, Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi to the elevator with the key card.
"Brother, what are you holding in your hand?" Lan Xiaoxi looked at the key card in his hand with some confusion.
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: "This is the key to the room we will stay in later."
"Ah? Do all the keys here look like this? How strange." Lan Xiaoxi said in surprise.
Henry Zhang smiled, and the elevator came just at this time.
He took Lan Xiaoxi into the elevator. After Lan Xiaoxi entered the elevator, she looked around suspiciously: "Brother, what is this place? Is it the room we live in?"
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "No, this is just an elevator."
"Elevator?" Lan Xiaoxi felt a little strange when she heard this word, because she had never heard this word before.
Henry Zhang explained: “It’s a kind of staircase that moves by itself.”
"The stairs still move on their own?" Lan Xiaoxi was surprised.
In the time it took to speak, the floor where the two of them were was arrived.
Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi outside and quickly found the room they lived in according to the room number.
Henry Zhang handed the room card to Lan Xiaoxi: "Come on, open the door."
Lan Xiaoxi blushed a little while holding the room card: "I don't know how to open it."
Henry Zhang grabbed her young hand and put it on the place where the card was swiped: "Just touch it here."
Wow! There was a sound of unlocking the door lock, and Henry Zhang pressed the door handle and opened the door.
Lan Xiaoxi looked surprised: "This is amazing."
Henry Zhang took her to the room.
Lan Xiaoxi looked at the hotel room and said in surprise: "This...how is this inn completely different from our inn over there? This bed is also bigger than our inn over there."
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Of course it's different. You sit down first and I'll help you test the hot water. You can take a shower later."
"Ah? Do you want to take a bath here?" Lan Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed.
Henry Zhang pointed to the glass bathroom over there and said: "Wash in it, don't worry, you can't see inside through this glass door from the outside."
Lan Xiaoxi leaned over and took a look: "Hey, I really can't see inside. How did you do this?"
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: "Okay, my one hundred thousand whys, let's go, I will take you in."
With that said, he took Lan Xiaoxi into the bathroom.
After arriving inside, Henry Zhang helped her test the temperature of the hot water, then took off the bath towel and placed it where Lan Xiaoxi could reach it.
"After you wash it off, you can put this bag on your body and come out later, you know?" Henry Zhang asked.
Lan Xiaoxi nodded obediently.
After giving instructions, Henry Zhang came outside.
After coming outside, he took out his mobile phone and found the charging cable, then charged his mobile phone and turned it on.
As soon as I turned on the phone, Yu Wanqiu called.
Henry Zhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would call just after he turned on the phone.
He answered the phone with a smile, and Yu Wanqiu's anxious voice came from the other side: "Xiao Yang, where have you been? Why can't the phone call get through?"
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Didn't I say that I will help you solve those troubles."
"Where are you now?" Yu Wanqiu asked.
Henry Zhang: “I’m in a county town and I’ll be back tomorrow.”
"Which county are you in? I'll send a car to pick you up."
Henry Zhang: “This place is far away from you, it takes more than ten hours to drive.”
"So far away? Didn't you run out of the country?" Yu Wanqiu asked.
Henry Zhang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's nothing, where did you think you were going?"
"Are you okay?" Yu Wanqiu asked.
Henry Zhang: "What can happen to me? I'm very good."
"You haven't been able to get through on the phone these days, and I'm worried to death."
Henry Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't married you yet. I also want to have a lot of fat boys with you. How can I be willing to get into trouble?"
"You're out of shape again." Yu Wanqiu said with a slightly red face.
At this time, Lan Xiaoxi's voice suddenly came from the bathroom: "Big brother."
When Henry Zhang heard this voice, he said to Yu Wanqiu on the other side of the phone: "Okay, I have something to do here. I will tell you when I go back tomorrow."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Yu Wanqiu, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned on the spot when she heard the voice.
Big brother? That voice sounds like that of a girl. Where is he now? Why is he with a woman?
Bad thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind.
She picked up the phone and wanted to call Henry Zhang again.
But at the moment when she was about to dial out, she hesitated again.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to wait for Henry Zhang to explain to her.
She believed that Henry Zhang would not be that kind of person.
At this time, Henry Zhang had already arrived at the bathroom door.
He asked: "What's wrong with the creek?"
Lan Xiaoxi said inside: "Brother, this water is too big, how can you make it smaller?"
Henry Zhang subconsciously wanted to open the door and go in to help her adjust it.
But he stopped when his hand pressed on the door handle.
He withdrew his hand and said to the inside: "Have you seen something like a handle? If you press the handle down a little, the water will become smaller."
"I'll look for it." Lan Xiaoxi said and went to look for it.
After a moment she said: "Okay, I found it."
Henry Zhang asked: “Is the water low?”
Lan Xiaoxi replied: "It's too small."
Hearing this, Henry Zhang turned around and returned to the sofa.
After a while, the bathroom door opened.
As soon as the door opened, Henry Zhang saw Lan Xiaoxi walking out wrapped in a bath towel.
It's just that the bath towel was too long and it was dragged to the floor.
"Brother, this dress seems a bit too long." Lan Xiaoxi said, looking at the bath towel on her body.
Henry Zhang smiled and stepped forward to take her out: "It's okay. When you grow up, this bath towel won't be long. I'll help you blow dry your hair first."
"Blow dry? How to blow dry? Use your mouth?" Lan Xiaoxi was confused.
Henry Zhang laughed: "You can blow it with your mouth until the end of the year of the monkey."
He carried her to the bed, then took the hair dryer and started blowing it on her.
"Huh, this blowing feels so comfortable and warm, brother." Lan Xiaoxi said happily.
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: "With this, your hair can be dried quickly."
After blowing for about five or six minutes, Lan Xiaoxi's hair was completely dry.
"Okay, you go to bed and rest, then take off your bath towel under the quilt, you know?" Henry Zhang said.
Lan Xiaoxi nodded, and then got into the quilt.
Henry Zhang returned to his bed to rest.
This night, both Henry Zhang and Lan Xiaoxi slept soundly.
On the other hand, Yu Wanqiu stayed up almost all night.
Because she had been waiting for Henry Zhang to call her to explain, but unexpectedly he never called.
At this moment, Yu Wanqiu felt a little sad in her heart.
She even wondered if she was really trusting someone else.
However, in the end she shook her head and said to herself: "Impossible, Henry Zhang will never be that kind of person."
In the end, she stayed up until seven or eight o'clock before finally falling asleep.
In the morning, Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi to the city by car.
Originally, Henry Zhang wanted to take Lan Xiaoxi on a plane so that he could experience the feeling of flying.
But because Lan Xiaoxi didn't have documents, she couldn't board the plane.
Henry Zhang had no choice but to take her to take the high-speed rail.
But Lanxiaoxi is very happy to be able to take the high-speed rail.
Sitting on the high-speed train, looking at the scenery outside that she kept passing by, Lan Xiaoxi was very happy.
When Henry Zhang saw her like this, a smile appeared on his face.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Henry Zhang took Lan Xiaoxi off the high-speed rail.
After coming outside, Henry Zhang took a taxi and took Lan Xiaoxi to the Yu family.
In the car heading to the Yu family, Henry Zhang said to Lan Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, my eldest brother will take you to meet the sister that my eldest brother likes later. Are you happy?"
"Isn't it Xiaoxi that eldest brother likes?" Lan Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Yang and asked.
This question stunned Henry Zhang. He came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Of course Xiaoxi is also the person that eldest brother likes. You will always be eldest brother's favorite sister."
Lan Xiaoxi didn't say anything after hearing this.
Seeing her like this, Henry Zhang had a thought in his mind, could it be...
But when I look back, I think it shouldn't be possible. She must be overthinking it. She is just a little kid now and doesn't understand so much. She will understand it when she grows up.
After a while, Henry Zhang brought Lan Xiaoxi to Yu’s house.
When the people in the Yu family saw Henry Zhang coming back, they all respectfully shouted: "Mr. Xiao."
After arriving in the hall, Henry Zhang met Mr. Yu: "Master Xiao, you are back."
"Old man, please stop calling me that, just call me Henry Zhang." Henry Zhang said with a smile.
Mr. Yu smiled. At this time, he saw Lan Xiaoxi beside him. He was a little confused: "This is?"
Henry Zhang smiled lightly: "She is my sister."
Yu Shan was surprised, he had a sister? Why had he never heard of it before?
