Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 249 There are always many coincidences in this world
The clear soup noodles on the table were steaming. Ten figures, one big and nine small, were sitting around the table, chatting and eating.
Although not talking while eating or sleeping is a sign of good family education, Li Si does not have so many rules.
The eight children adopted by Li Si sat down and ate noodles peacefully, while the new boy was wolfing down the food in his bowl and chopsticks.
In just a few blinks of an eye, he had finished the bowl of noodles.
"Don't be so anxious." Li Si smiled, took the bowl from his hand, poured him another bowl from the pot and said.
"There's still a lot in the pot. You can eat slowly and don't choke."
As he said this, he handed the bowl back to the boy and at the same time reached out and picked off a piece of noodles that was stuck to the boy's mouth.
The boy looked at Li Si's actions, his face felt a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head sheepishly.
"Thank you, thank you."
He hadn't eaten hot food for a long time, so he ate in a hurry.
And he assured once again that the gentleman in front of him was definitely the most handsome man he had ever seen. This kind of handsomeness was not only because of the good-looking person, but also because of the other person's smile, which made him feel completely relieved. Very warm and friendly, without any impurities.
This made him doubt himself. Was what he saw before his eyes really real, or was he just dreaming because he was hungry?
Is there really someone like this gentleman in this world? He thought about this and unconsciously recalled the ups and downs of life he had experienced along the way, and then laughed at himself.
Anyway, no matter whether it was true or false, he should leave after finishing the meal. After all, there would be no place to accommodate a beggar like him.
Sometimes, he really felt like a person who should have died long ago. Because he didn't die, he was hated and expelled by others, and he would never find a place to stay.
At this moment, Li Si, who was sitting opposite the boy, suddenly asked with a smile.
"Little brother, I still don't know what your name is?"
The other eight children sitting at the table looked at Li Si, and then exchanged glances with each other. They all guessed what Li Si was going to say next.
After all, they had stayed like this before. In their opinion, their husband was a good man who had already introduced the boy to the family. It would be strange if he really let the boy eat a meal and then leave.
Hmm, how come this sounds like child trafficking...
"Ah? Ah." Hearing Li Si's question, the boy was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat up straight and answered respectfully.
"My name is Zhang Shan'er, you can just call me Shan'er, sir."
"Zhang Shan'er, Zhang Shan'er..." Li Si muttered the name and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, interesting, really interesting, guess what my name is?"
"Uh." Zhang Shan'er scratched his hair, not knowing why the gentleman in front of him suddenly laughed. After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.
"Please explain clearly, sir. I can't guess it."
"Well, my name is Li Si, Muzi Li, which means Si that is hard to catch up with." Li Si smiled and pointed at himself, then pointed at Zhang Shan'er.
"You and I just happen to be a pair of Zhang San and Li Si, both of us are hidden people in this world. Don't you think it's interesting?"
"This..." Zhang Shan'er was stunned for a while, then replied with a wry smile.
"That's a coincidence."
To be honest, he really doesn't look like an eight or nine-year-old child. Perhaps it's because he has experienced a lot and has matured precociously.
"Is that so?" Li Si's smile remained on his face until a while later, when he became a little more serious and looked at Zhang Shan'er again and said.
"Shan'er, do you have somewhere to go? If so, I can give you a ride."
Zhang Shan'er was silent for a moment, then shook his head holding the bowl in his hand.
"Sir, I don't have anywhere to go..."
"I see." Li Si nodded in response, seemingly not surprised.
After all, any child with a home would not stand in front of his villa on a rainy day wearing such tattered clothes.
He must have thought for a while, then seemed to have made a decision. He smiled again and said to Zhang Shan'er.
"So, are you willing to stay?"
He just gave Zhang Shan'er a choice. Since he had already adopted so many children, he didn't mind adopting one more.
"Hmm... Hmm!?" Zhang Shan'er originally thought that Li Si would tell him to eat and leave, but he didn't expect that Li Si would actually ask him whether he wanted to stay.
"First, sir, what did you say?"
He must have been a little unsure of what he heard, so he asked again.
"I'm asking you, are you willing to stay here?" Li Si smiled, trying to appear gentler.
If he remembered correctly, the child was very afraid of him when they were outside the mountain gate before.
My stomach felt warm because I had just swallowed a lot of hot noodles.
My hands felt warm because the noodles in the bowl were still warm.
There was warmth in his eyes, but Zhang Shan'er didn't know why.
He just felt it, felt it for the third time.
The person in front of him might be the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
When the other person smiles, he or she will gently narrow his or her long and slender eyes, with the corners of his or her mouth slightly raised, as if he or she will not be alarmed by anything, making others no longer panic about those things.
All I can say is that no matter how mature they are, children's minds are probably always simple. In their eyes, people are probably only good-looking or not. Regardless of other things, the one who makes you feel at ease is the one who is good-looking.
Li Si actually just thought that it shouldn't be a big problem for his villa to accommodate another child.
But he didn't know what such a destination meant to Zhang Shaner.
It was as if the old monk never knew what .
…
The lunch ended like this, and the other children all tacitly accepted that they had a new brother or younger brother. At Li Si's instructions, they took Zhang Shan'er to visit the village.
Qing'er helped Li Si clean up the dishes, then she drove Li Si out of the kitchen and started washing them by herself.
When she finished washing the dishes and returned to the backyard, she happened to see Li Si sitting there, staring outside the yard in a daze.
This was not the first time she had seen such a gentleman. She knew that the gentleman always smiled in front of them, but when he sat alone, he usually did not smile. He seemed to be recalling something in the past, silently holding the dark blue iron sword in his arms, without saying a word, which made people feel empty inside.
"Sir." Qing'er called softly after walking behind Li Si.
The next moment, Li Si's face showed the familiar smile, and he turned around and asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Looking at Li Si's smile, Qing'er stood there in a daze for a while. A moment later, she pouting her lips again, sat next to Li Si, and said while shaking her legs .
"I just came to tell Mr. Tong that if we don't make money, we will have no food to eat."
"Hehe." Li Si laughed softly twice, reached out and patted Qing'er's head and said.
"Don't worry, sir, there will be a way."
As he said this, he put his hands down again and looked towards the distant horizon.
"What are you looking at, sir?" Qing'er followed Li Si's gaze, looked in the direction he was looking, and asked in confusion.
"Nothing." The smile on Li Si's face faded a little, and he answered slowly.
"It's just that a bird flew over there just now."
"So, will it come back?"
“…”
"No, it flew too fast. It must have lost track of the road."
