Friendship between young children is strange.

One moment they're hostile to each other, the next they'll be good friends.

Looking at the little companions who rushed forward and curiously chattering to Axiu; then at Axiu, who was stiff and didn't know how to deal with them, Liu Yusheng smirked and grinned.

She never let go of his hand.

Because he held her back with a grip.

She thought that perhaps he was too stressed out and needed support.

Which she was willing to give.

Although she had no hands regarding mental illness in her previous life, she had heard of it in the circle of medical practitioners and knew some.

"Axiu, how old are you?"

"What do you usually do in the woods when you're alone?"

"Can you climb trees? When we go hunting for some bird's nests some day, we'll call, okay?"

Axiu's words are few and far between, mostly answers with a word or two and more often silence.

Fortunately, the children are simple-minded and don't feel his indifference, and would answer their own questions.

For example, you're about our height, so you must be either seven or eight years old!

For example, is that your wild vegetable basket? So you're here to dig for wild vegetables!

Another example, it's okay if you can't climb trees, I'll teach you later then! You'll be able to crawl faster than a monkey in half a day!

"Xiu'er! Xiu'er?" In the distance, a woman's anxious call echoed.

The crowd looked around, and soon saw a woman in a lake green rough dress scrambling towards them.

When she came closer, she was quietly relieved to see that the little boy was safe and sound.

"Hello aunt!" Liu Yusheng lifted her head, and greeted sweetly. She must be Axiu's mother.

Her skin was white and her dress of coarse cloth could not hide her beauty. She has this air of elegance that's unusual among women.

At this time, the woman's eyes fell on the two small hands holding each other, and was blown away. When she heard Liu Yusheng's greeting, her eyes moved to the little girl's face and was again surprised, "Little baby, it's you!"

Liu Yusheng blinked her eyes with incomprehension

"Don't you remember us? Last year, I fainted by the side of the road. It was you who saved my life by passing by with your family in a wagon and giving me water to drink."

Last year, roadside … Liu Yusheng's eyes widened a bit, so it was that mother and son!

At that time, they only lent a helping hand, but she soon forgot about it when they got home.

Surprisingly, it was them who'd been living in the cabin.

Liu Yusheng nodded and laughed, "I remember, I even gave Brother Axiu a few sweets back then!"

"Three." Axiu suddenly interjected, his childish voice as clear as a night spring.
