??Snow outside the window, the room is warm.

?? It's just that the atmosphere is a little tense and depressing.

??Qi Yuan was covered with a quilt, huddled under the quilt, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly drooping, his lips were tightly pursed, feeling uneasy.

??Shen Lingyun looked at the nervous young boy who huddled into a small ball opposite him, feeling helpless.

?? "Just asking about your situation, don't be so nervous."

??Qi Yuan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly raised his head to look at Shen Lingyun, his lips moved, "I, I'm not nervous."

"Okay." Shen Lingyun smiled, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Then don't shake your hands."

??"what?"

?? When Qi Yuan heard the words, his face was blank and his eyes were in a daze, as if he didn't understand Shen Lingyun's words.

"Your hands... are shaking." Shen Lingyun pointed to his hands, shaking while clutching the quilt, obviously nervous and scared, "Don't worry, relax."

"Oh." Qi Yuan snorted, and retracted his hands under the quilt, "I'm not afraid, I'm shivering from the cold."

?? He was stubborn, and refused to admit that he was nervous and scared.

??Anyway, I was carried back from the outside just now, and my whole body is about to freeze, so it's okay to say so.

"Yes." Shen Lingyun responded in a low voice, nodding as if in agreement.

?? Qi Yuan pulled out a stiff smile, with some flattery, "What do you want to ask?"

??Shen Lingyun: "..."

?? He was speechless. It turned out that the questions he asked just now were all in vain, and the other party didn't listen at all.

"Where are you from, why are you alone outside the village?" Shen Lingyun asked.

??In the heavy snow outside the village, I saw this boy squatting on the ground with tears on his face, almost frozen in a single suit, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

??Scared, he hurried over to hug the person, and before the speaker lost consciousness, Shen Lingyun had no choice but to carry him back first.

"Ah?" Qi Yuan continued to be confused, pretending to be confused, his eyes were dazed, and he didn't answer his words.

??Shen Lingyun was silent, thinking about his own problems was not wrong.

??But he changed the way of asking, "Why are you there?"

"I don't know." Qi Yuan answered quickly this time, shaking his head with a puzzled expression, "Why am I there?"

??Shen Lingyun was almost laughed at by him, is this asking himself?

??But looking at the young boy, his expression did not seem to be fake, and his whole face was blank, as if he was also thinking about this question.

??He didn't know what to say.

"I..." Qi Yuan wanted to ask where this is and how he came here, but when he met Shen Lingyun's gaze, he swallowed subconsciously, and then swallowed back the words he wanted to ask, "I really don't know .”

??He had a small face up, shrunk in a small ball under the quilt, with a bun on his head, his eyes were full of doubts, and he looked innocent and pitiful.

??Shen Lingyun was full of doubts, and looked at the boy carefully. The more he looked, the heavier his heart became, and his doubts became more serious.

??The boy's eyes are clear and energetic, with a bun on his head that makes people laugh. He is immature and ignorant, and he can't see that there is something wrong with his head, but...

?? He always felt something strange.

"What's your name?" Shen Lingyun suppressed all the thoughts in his heart.

?? "Qi Yuan."

?? "How big?"

??"fourteen."

?? Next, no matter what Shen Lingyun asked, Qi Yuan shook his head and didn't know. He only said his name and age.

??Qi Yuan: You can’t say anything about it, absolutely not.

?? He didn't know how he came here. The scorching summer turned into a sky full of snow in an instant, and everything he saw was strange.

?? The only thing I know is: this is not where I used to live.

??He patted his head, frowned and looked confused, "Why don't I know anything? My head is so heavy that I don't know anything."

??Qi Yuan said, quietly raised his eyes to look at Shen Lingyun, just in time to meet his eyes, and smiled flatteringly, "I'm taking a few shots to see if I can find out."

?? As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted his head a few more times, as if he hated iron for being weak, and muttered: "Why are you so stupid?"

??Put on a look that I really don't know, I really don't remember.

?? The bun on his head was about to be blown away by him, and a few strands of hair had already fallen on his cheeks. He felt itchy and stretched out his hands to brush them behind his ears.

??Shen Lingyun: "..."

??How could he fail to see that the young man put on this appearance on purpose.

??As long as you are not really stupid!

?? "I don't remember anything." Shen Lingyun asked: "How do you remember your name?"

"Hmm." Qi Yuan blushed suddenly, his cheeks were hot, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Shen Lingyun, he lowered his head and covered his face, "I really can't find a home, don't drive me away."

??Shen Lingyun almost laughed out loud.

?? The original crux here!

?? He pressed his fist against his lips, coughed lightly, and smiled, "Okay, I won't ask any more."

?? Then comforted: "Don't be afraid, I won't drive you away."

"Really?" Qi Yuan raised his head sharply, his eyes sparkling with surprise, "You really don't want to drive me away?"

"No." Shen Lingyun's eyes flashed with pity, and he said gently: "If you want to stay, then stay."

?? This is a homeless child, Shen Lingyun is sure.

?? "You stay on the kang, I'll find you a cotton coat." Shen Lingyun said and got up, and took out a bundle from the mahogany box at the end of the kang.

?? "This is leftover from what I used to wear. You can wear it first." Shen Lingyun handed it to Qi Yuan, looked at his figure and said, "It may not fit well. I will ask someone to change it for you tomorrow."

"No, no need." Qi Yuan shook his head hastily, his brows and eyes curled up with a burdened smile, "I can do it myself, I'll change it."

??Shen Lingyun's eyes paused, and then he said nonchalantly: "That would be great."

??He made sure again, "You really want to stay here, don't you want to go?"

?? "Life is very hard." Shen Lingyun reminded him, "I can't get enough to eat."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan nodded in agreement, "I'm not afraid, I know, I understand."

?? He spoke quickly, patted his small chest as if to promise, and said with a smile: "I am very capable, and you will soon know my advantages."

??Qi Yuan almost snapped his fingers to show Shen Lingyun his strengths, "Laundry, cooking, feeding chickens, raising pigs..."

??He said a lot in one breath, and then gestured his arm to Shen Lingyun, "He is still a good farmer and a good earner."

"Yeah." Shen Lingyun glanced at him, "If you're so capable, why don't you even have a padded jacket?"

??Qi Yuan: "..."

Shen Lingyun saw that he was in a daze again, and a smile flashed across his eyes, "Take out the padded jacket and put it on the kang to warm it up, and then wear it when it's hot."

??He walked a few steps outside, then turned back and said, "This is Banpo Village. If you want to stay here, you need to report to the brigade. I'll go to the brigade headquarters and I'll be back in a while."

"I, I..." Qi Yuan heard that he still needs other people's consent to stay here, and immediately became nervous again, "I don't want to leave, I have nowhere to go."

??His eyes were full of pleading, "I will freeze to death."

"No." Shen Lingyun walked to the side of the kang, reached out to touch Qi Yuan's head, and comforted him: "I will find a way to keep you, don't be afraid."

"But I don't know anything, I really don't know." Qi Yuan shook his head in a panic, tears welled up in his clear eyes, "I don't know how it happened."

"It's okay." Shen Lingyun comforted him fondly, "This is [-], the [-]th day of the first lunar month. I will tell you the rest slowly, and I can teach you if you don't know it."

"Yeah." Qi Yuan grabbed Shen Lingyun by the corner of his clothes as if grasping at straws, "I will study hard and work hard. I must work more and eat less."

"Understood." Shen Lingyun sighed, seeing him so uneasy, so he said: "Don't worry, as long as you want, you can definitely stay."

?? "Take a good rest for a while." Shen Lingyun put his hands back under the quilt, "It's hot in the pit, how warm you are, drink more hot water."

??He poured some more hot water for Qi Yuan, "Drink more, you are freezing badly today."

??He took the bundle he was carrying, opened it and took out the contents. There were two sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and several sets of unlined clothing.

?? He looked at each piece, with nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was looking somewhere through these things, but his face was calm and unchanged.

?? "This is what I wore when I was a teenager. I will give it to you." Shen Lingyun said.

?? He brought these from home, but they are useless, and there is no point in keeping them, which only adds to the sadness.

?? After he finished speaking, he strode away with a look of determination, as if he had dropped something heavy.

??Qi Yuan didn't pay attention to this, and he was relieved after Shen Lingyun left, but then he was nervous and scared, a little at a loss.

?? How did I come here?why?What about your own home?

??Qi Yuan asked in his heart over and over again, tears could not stop flowing down again.

??Although my parents are gone, I still have my other relatives and friends there, as well as an acquaintance in the village.

??Qi Yuan is an ancient little brother. Two months ago, he lost his parents in an earthquake, and he was the only survivor in the family.

??Today is his birthday, and he is a little sad. When he went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and goods, he strayed into the deep mountain by accident.

?? Didn't pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment. When the danger passed and looked up again, I found that there was a plain all around, and there was a strange village in the distance.

??The mountain where he lived just now was gone, and there were snowflakes in the sky, which made him cry immediately, not knowing where he ran to.

?? When he was wearing a single suit, shivering from the cold and about to faint, a pair of big hands pulled him into a warm embrace.

?? He opened his eyes again, and he was already lying on the warm kang, with a handsome man with gentle eyebrows sitting beside him.

"Forget it." Qi Yuan shook his head and said to himself.

??If you don’t understand it, don’t think about it. The first problem now is to stay here and have a place to stay.

??Qi Yuan looked out through the window, the snow was flying and the cold wind was howling. If he went out at this time, he would freeze to death in a short time.

?? The man who rescued himself was a good man, Qi Yuan knew, he touched his waist and smiled, "I will repay you."

??Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked around and saw his back basket in a corner, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

??Happily jumped off the kang, took the back basket to the kang, and took things out, not to lose all his wealth.

??The shack where you live temporarily cannot store valuables. Qi Yuan always carries the important belongings dug out of the ruins of his own house with him.
