Chapter 10: I've got a new sister

  Xu Fei looked at the girl and sighed deeply, saying: "Little sister, what big brother is going to do now may get his head chopped off at any time. If you follow me, it's much more dangerous than living on your own."

  The girl looked at Xu Fei and said without hesitation: "I know that Big Brother is a hero, and the three bad guys inside were also killed by you. So no matter whether Big Brother is a heroic outlaw or a mountain bandit, Little Sister is willing to live and die with Big Brother, and will not regret it."

  "Uh..." Xu Fei was directly stunned by the girl's words, this girl had watched too many storytelling performances, but in the Northeast, there were only two-person comic dialogues, no one had ever heard of a storytelling performance.

  Xu Fei couldn't think of anything else to do, so he gritted his teeth and said to the girl: "Since you're not afraid of danger and want to follow me, I won't make you be my slave or servant. Go wash your face and tidy yourself up, we'll go into town to buy some things and leave Lonesome Mountain Town quickly. Otherwise, the two of us will really get killed."

  The girl, upon hearing that Xu Fei had agreed to take her with him, was overjoyed. Her beautiful big eyes were instantly filled with delight, and she nodded enthusiastically as tears of joy streamed down her face. She rushed into the small temple, ignoring the three dead bodies inside, grabbed a basin, poured hot water into it, found a secluded corner, and began to clean herself up.

  The girl soon ran out with a big smile on her face, her bright eyes looking at Xufei were very familiar. She blinked her big eyes and smiled happily. At this time, Xufei took a closer look at the girl, her smooth and round little face, a pair of large and spirited round eyes, high nose bridge and slightly raised nostrils, a moderate red lip slightly opened to reveal a mouthful of white small teeth. She was not tall, only about 1.5 meters or so, but because her body was somewhat thin, she looked even taller. The only flaw was that her small hands were full of calluses, which also made Xufei feel some heartache.

  Xu Fei held her small hand and looked at her again, his eyes seeming a bit downcast as he asked the girl: "Little sister, how old are you this year? Have you always been working to earn money?"

  The girl's small hand was caught by Xu Fei, and her face couldn't help but turn red, yet she didn't pull her hand back, allowing Xu Fei to hold it in his as he said in a low voice:

  "Hmm... I'm probably 15 this year. Since I was young, I've had to work for others. Although the neighbors took care of me, I couldn't just wait for them to take care of me. From a young age, I helped everyone with things I could do, and they gave me some food and clothes. But when the Japanese and the security troops arrived, people in town were struggling to make ends meet..."

  Xu Fei looked at the slender girl and shook his head. This fifteen-year-old girl was already quite tall, but with a doll-like face and an unremarkable figure, she looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old little girl. However, the girl's lovely smile still made Xu Fei feel a warmth in his heart. He gently stroked the calluses on her hand and said:

  "I was also an orphan raised by my master since I was a child, but I have never suffered from childhood to adulthood. Except for my master, I don't have any relatives. Would you like to be my sworn sister? As long as Xu Fei has food to eat, I won't let you go hungry!"

  When she heard Xu Fei's words, the girl was slightly stunned, looked at Xu Fei biting her lip and stared blankly for a moment before lowering her head and saying: "Hmm... I'm willing to be Big Brother's adopted sister."

  Xu Fei looked at the girl's face, which was still beautifully uncommon under her plain appearance, and smiled, saying: "Since you're my sister now, I'll give you a name. You don't have a name or surname, so just follow mine, Xu! Hmm... One ride of red dust, the imperial concubine smiles. You just smiled more beautifully than Yang Guifei did earlier! Brother is called Xu Fei, so little sister, you can be called Xu Fei too!"

  The girl looked at her brother who had given himself a name, furrowed his brow and asked: "Brother, you're called Xu Fei, I'm also called Xu Fei, what if someone calls us?"

  "Ah......" Xu Fei's mouth was agape for a moment, when he took the name, he only cared about how good it sounded and hadn't noticed this point, but he felt that the name Xu Fei really suited his adopted younger sister.

  The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother! The name Xu Fei really sounds good, I don't want to change it either. If others call me the wrong name, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Brother and I are going to be together for a lifetime. You are me, and I am you."

  Xu Fei didn't notice Xu Fei's speech impediment, he thought that names are just a matter of course anyway. Master picked him up and gave him this name casually back then. The more Xu Fei looked at Xu Fei, the more he liked her. Where else could you find such an adorable and beautiful little sister?

  Xu Fei had Xu Fei wait outside the small temple, walked into the small temple and used dry grass to tie a not-so-tight rope, ignited it with fire, and after putting one end of the rope on the pile of dry grass, he turned around and left this bloody small temple.

  "Sister, let's go! No one will recognize you in this state, right?"

  Zou chu xiao miao, Xu Fei dui zhe Xu Fei shuo dao, shen shou qian zhuo ta bai man man de chao zhe xiao lu zou qu. Xu Fei qian zhuo zi ji gan mei mei de shou na yi dian qi ta xiang fa dou mei you, ta de xin si zheng zai wei shou le ge gan mei gao xing, na hui gu ji zhe gan mei bing bu shi qin mei mei, zhe yang qian zhuo yi ge da gu niang de xiao shou zai zhe ge she hui bu da yun xu.

  But Xu Fei seemed to have forgotten that they were in the old semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, her small hand placed in Xu Fei's hand not only didn't withdraw, but her slender fingers instead tightly grasped Xu Fei's large hand, not wanting to let go for a moment.

  Xu Fei took Xu Fei back to the inn, at this time both of them were eager to leave Gushan Town. Mo Si's men had more than 30 fake soldiers, plus a group of devils in this place. If they found out that Niu Da and three others had been killed, they would definitely search for Xu Fei and she would be exposed.

  The little second looked at Xufei with curiosity, and just a while ago this boss had brought back a pretty and lovely little sister. He quickly stepped forward and asked Xufei: "Boss, where did you go for a walk? Do you want to prepare some food for this lady?"

  Xu Fei said with a smile: "I won't eat dinner, prepare some dry rations for me to take on the road, I'm leaving now. I came here just to find my sister, now that I've found her, I have to hurry back home and share the good news with my family. Go calculate if there's enough money?"

  Xiao Er was taken aback, and the boss had not rested all night and wanted to leave. He couldn't keep the guests, so he ran back to the counter and kitchen, busy for a while, packing a large package of pancakes and dried meat, and walked out saying: "Boss! I've prepared all the remaining money into dry rations for you, these should be enough for two people to eat for three or four days."

  Xu Fei smiled slightly and took out a few copper coins from his pocket, tossing them to the little servant boy, saying: "Sorry to trouble you, little brother. This bit of money is for you to have a drink."
