Come With Me novel Chapter 217

The little girl nodded at me. "I've watched your movie. I know you're a good person."

I touched the little girl's head and said, "You are so young. Why are you alone here? Where are your parents?"

The little girl pointed to the house not far away. "My home is over there. My father went to work in the city. My mother is sick and lying at home."

"Is there anyone else in your house?"

The little girl nodded and said, "My brother."

"Where is your brother?"

The little girl pointed at the little boy who was going to cow in the distance and said, "He is my brother."

"Did you go to school?"

The little girl still shook her head. "No, mom said we don't have money to go to school. Mom is in poor health and needs care, and she needs to see a doctor and take medicine."

Rogelio also squatted down with me. "Do you know that a school is going to be built in the village?"

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, I know. The village has broadcasted the news for several days."

I asked the little girl, "Do you and your brother want to go to school?"

The little girl nodded at first, but soon shook her head. "We can't go. No one will take care of our mum if we go."

Touching the little girl's face, Rogelio asked, "You're so young. Can you take care of Mommy?

The little girl blinked her bright eyes and answered in a childish voice, "Yes."

At this time, the little boy in the distance seemed to see what was happening here and ran over, leaving the cow behind.

The little boy took a look at me and Rogelio and pulled the little girl to his side. "Sister, don't disturb the guests."

In fact, the little boy looked about eight or nine years old. He held a whip in his hand and wore a pair of big black boots stained with soil.

The little boy looked at us timidly, with a trace of vigilance towards strangers in his young eyes.

"Can we go to your home to see your mother? I heard that she was sick."

The little boy hesitated, but the little girl pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, Tyrone just said in the broadcast that we should entertain the guests well."

Hearing the name of Tyrone, the little boy finally let out a sigh of relief. He nodded to us reluctantly and said, "Then come to our house. But we don't have much to eat at home."

Rogelio and I looked at each other and finally understood why the little boy didn't want us to go to his house. It turned out that he was afraid that we would stay at his house for dinner.

"Don't worry. We have had dinner."

The little boy breathed a sigh of relief and said to the little girl, "Then you take them to our home first, and I'll go to get the cow back."

The little girl nodded obediently to her brother. Then she held my hand and looked up at me. "Aunt Spring bud, come with me."

Rogelio and I looked at each other and followed the little girl to her home.

The whole village looked ordinary. It was easy to tell that it was not a rich village.

But the little girl's home was the most disharmonious one among all the houses in the village. The house was low and the window was very small.

As soon as we entered the room, we felt it was dark, and the small room was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

A woman's cough came from the room.

"Mom, I'm here with Aunt Spring bud and an Uncle."
