PDLP Chapter 1157 Little 7
Chapter 1157 Little 7
When Yu Sunian and his group returned, they brought back some medicinal herbs and a chubby little guy.
At that moment, Jiang Jiyun, who was kneading pills, was attracted by the cute white dumpling that looked like it had stepped out of a New Year painting, and his curiosity was instantly piqued.
Xiao Qi, who had been listless and looked like she had no will to live, suddenly seemed to sense something was wrong and turned around to look around.
Immediately afterwards, his big, round eyes were fixed on Jiang Jiyun as if drawn by a magnet.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun also noticed the complex emotions revealed in the chubby boy's eyes—a mixture of bewilderment, astonishment, and an overwhelming sense of excitement...
A mix of emotions made those clear, watery eyes appear exceptionally vivid and expressive.
"You...you..." The chubby boy broke free from Chang Ye's hand, stammered, and walked to Jiang Jiyun's side, tightly holding her small hand and refusing to let go.
Jiang Jiyun felt a chill run through her palm and her heart softened: the child's hands and feet must be cold because he was too frightened.
So she gently comforted him, "Little brother, don't be afraid~ Can't you find your mother? How about I ask the older brothers to take you home?"
Chang watched from afar as the child clung tightly to Jiang Jiyun and spoke to her. Only after confirming that the two were indeed having a conversation did he step aside to drink some water to quench his thirst.
The little boy had been following them closely ever since he first saw them, but he remained silent the entire time.
Despite the men's earnest and persuasive words, the little guy simply wouldn't utter a single word!
I often think that I can't just leave a four or five-year-old child on the side of the road and ignore him.
They had no other choice but to bring the child back, thinking they would take him out to look for his relatives the next day.
They never expected the kid to act so strangely upon seeing Jiang Jiyun. They should have just brought him home to avoid all that nonsense.
Just then, Xiao Qi stared intently at Jiang Jiyun and whispered in a low voice, "I want to make a deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun was taken aback and stared at the other person with wide eyes in astonishment. How could someone so young be so mature? Could he really be a person with dwarfism?
Then Xiao Qi continued, "Actually, I know everything about you! I know you're from another world, and you also have a mysterious space within you, so can we find a quiet place to talk?"
Jiang Jiyun squinted at him without saying a word.
The chubby boy continued, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xiao Qi, and I am a system."
Jiang Jiyun stopped smiling and stood up. She turned to Jiang Wenming, who was still brewing the medicine, and said, "Uncle, can you arrange for someone to make the pills? I'll take the little guy to wash up."
After she finished speaking, she led the chubby boy to the place where the wooden tub and bathtub were kept.
Qin Zhi brought in warm water and put it away. Jiang Jiyun told her to leave, saying she could bathe the little fat boy by herself.
So the two of them, one in the basin and the other sitting there, stared at each other.
Jiang Jiyun said coldly, "Tell me, how did you, a system, become a human? What kind of deal do you want with me?"
"I want you to avenge my master. I'll give you all the functions of the system," the chubby boy replied earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun's expression turned extremely serious. She frowned and asked with a look of confusion in her eyes, "Then who is your master? How can I avenge him? I don't even know if he is a man or a woman, or if he is a good person or a bad person."
Xiao Qi lowered her head, her voice slightly choked: "My master... she was a very kind and brave woman. She spent her whole life helping others, but fate was so unfair to her."
"In the final moments of her life, she chose to exchange all her merits for my body, hoping that I could continue to complete the things she had not finished."
Jiang Jiyun asked with suspicion, "You're not a system? You can't help your master?"
Xiao Qi said painfully, "My master's man and comrades all died tragically in front of her. She didn't want to live anymore, so she gave all her merits to me. She didn't buy any life-saving medicine."
At this point, Xiao Qi raised her head, looking at Jiang Jiyun with a firm yet slightly sorrowful gaze: "Although I have now become an ordinary human, I still remember my master's teachings. She told me to follow those who have accumulated merit and live on in her place."
Jiang Jiyun hadn't expected this outcome. She apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up something that upset you. If you're willing, you can come with us from now on!"
Xiao Qi shook her head. "My days are numbered. Although I have become human, my body still needs energy. Without energy, I won't live long."
Upon hearing that he wouldn't live much longer, Jiang Jiyun said, "Do you think I have any merit? If I have a lot, I can help prolong your life."
She thought that she had killed so many Japanese soldiers and saved so many people, so she must have accumulated some merit.
Xiao Qi looked at the golden merit light on her body and nodded, "You are even more powerful than my master. You have a lot of merit."
Jiang Jiyun guessed that his master must also be a patriot, and told him, "Then from now on, live well with me, and we will avenge her together!"
Thinking of the helplessness she felt when she ambushed those bad guys, Xiaoqi sighed and said, "I can't kill people myself, I can only assist you."
Jiang Jiyun gently wiped his body with a towel, carefully washing every inch of his skin, and asked softly, "So, what is your master's name? You can take your master's surname from now on. After all, it's still a bit inconvenient not having a formal identity."
At that moment, the chubby boy was also concentrating on rubbing off the dirt that had accumulated on his body.
After thinking carefully for a moment, he replied, "My master's surname is Zheng, and her given name is Yiren; while her husband's surname is He, and his given name is He Zheng. From now on, I will be called Zheng He, and my nickname will be Xiao Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun's hand suddenly froze, and the towel he had been holding slipped into the basin, splashing a few water droplets.
Her eyes reddened and filled with tears, her voice trembling slightly as she asked again, "Is your mistress really Zheng Yiren? And...and is her husband really named He Zheng?"
Seeing that her emotions suddenly became agitated, Xiao Qi couldn't help but think of Jiang Jiyun, whom her master often mentioned.
So he tentatively asked, "Could it be that you... you are the Jiang Jiyun that my master often talks about?"
