Chapter 220 Water Ghost
"Well, since you sisters seem pitiful, I'll help you this time." After hearing this, Li Daoxuan felt emotional inside, but said calmly.

He looked at the two sisters and pointed to the wooden bucket filled with water in the corner and said, "Wash your faces. Later, you can say that you are my maids."

"Thank you very much, young master." Xue Yurong said gratefully. The little girl beside her also responded with thanks, and both of them looked much more relaxed.

After the two sisters finished washing their faces, Li Daoxuan looked up at them again and couldn't help but admire them in his heart. Only then did he understand why the second young master of the Xu family was determined to marry this pair of beautiful sisters.

It was seen that the two of them were indeed of distinctive appearance, one was a beauties with ancient charm, a bit like the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in Li Daoxuan's memory, but more delicate than the other.

Although her younger sister Yuyan is small, she is more beautiful than her older sister. Just looking at her current appearance, you can tell that she will be a prettier girl when she grows up.

It's no wonder that the second young master of the Xu family tried every possible means. A girl with this kind of appearance can be considered outstanding even in the future when there are so many beauties, not to mention that she is just without makeup.

Seeing Li Daoxuan looking at her, Xue Yurong seemed a little nervous.

She pinched her sleeves nervously, with some panic in her eyes. She had no choice but to do this in the current situation. If this young master had any bad intentions, she would not be able to escape.

As I was anxiously thinking about what might happen, I heard Li Daoxuan's voice: "Did you bring anything?"

"All the things were lost on the way, leaving only this package." Xue Yurong touched the package around her waist and said softly to Li Daoxuan.

"Do you know where our relatives are in Yangzhou?" Li Daoxuan asked again.

Xue Yurong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then she slowly said, "It's my aunt's house, but I haven't been there for more than ten years, and I don't know if it's still there. I went to her house when I was a child, so I do have some memories of it."

"It would be great if we can find him, but what if we can't?" Li Daoxuan felt that her words were a little unreliable. They hadn't been in contact with each other for more than ten years. Was it really reliable to go and seek refuge with him now?

These days, if two orphans go to live with their relatives, it would be fine if the relatives have a conscience. But if the relatives are a bit cruel, the two girls will probably be eaten up without leaving any bones.

A beauty like this would definitely be sold for a good price.

This is not to say that Li Daoxuan secretly feels sorry for Xue Yurong's aunt, it's just that the world is like this, people eat each other.

"I don't know what to do if I can't find it." Xue Yurong sighed softly, her eyebrows were curved, her face was sad, and her eyes were watery, like Xishi holding her heart.

Such a pitiful look really makes men feel pity.

However, Li Daoxuan showed a thoughtful look on his face. He glanced at his sister Xue Yuyan and saw that the little girl shrank her neck and hid behind Xue Yuyan in fear.

But she stretched out her legs, revealing her heels, and the copper ring hanging on her ankle looked quite delicate.

This girl is really timid. Li Daoxuan smiled to himself, and then said to Xue Yurong: "If you can't find your relatives in Yangzhou, you might as well come to me. My family also has some shops in Yangzhou, and maybe I can help you a little."

"Really?" Xue Yurong looked somewhat happy when she heard what Li Daoxuan said. She no longer looked hesitant as before and felt more relieved.

"Of course I'm serious. I haven't told you my name yet. My last name is Li Daoxuan. Excuse me, but I wonder how old you are?"

"I am already sixteen years old, and my sister Yuyan has just turned nine years old." Xue Yurong said gently, touching her sister's head.

"It seems that I should call you sister. You are three or four years older than me." Li Daoxuan smiled at Xue Yurong.

Compared with Xue Yurong, he is a little taller, which can be considered a benefit of his recent practice.

Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, his figure was no less than that of an ordinary boy of sixteen or seventeen. Although his face was childish, he had sharp features and could be considered a handsome young man. Even in later generations, he could be called a young and handsome man.

It was just that he had enough nutrition and Dan Qi circulated in his body, so he had grown taller in the past few months, which also relieved Li Daoxuan of many of his resentments. "I didn't expect the young master to be so young." Xue Yurong was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Daoxuan to be so young. She thought he was about the same age as herself. It seems that she was wrong.

"Sister Yurong, please bear with it here for a while today." Li Daoxuan said.

"My sister and I will sleep on the floor to avoid dirtying the bed." Xue Yurong said as she unpacked her package and took out a few pieces of clothing. She spread the clothes out and laid them flat on the floor to make a simple bed to sleep on.

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything when he saw this. He was not a kind-hearted person with no bottom line. Helping the sisters was already a kindness on his part. After all, these two girls were strangers to him before.

Nowadays, no matter whether they are men or women, you have to be wary of all strangers. There are many scammers and kidnappers, and many of them use children as bait.

Li Daoxuan had heard a story from Aunt Sun, about a thief who used a baby to lure a kind-hearted woman, not letting the baby eat and deliberately making the baby cry loudly. If a woman came to check on the baby, the thief would drug the baby and make it faint and then kidnap it. Once it had gone, no one knew where it was, and if they looked for it again, there would be a sea of ​​people everywhere.

As for where this person ended up, maybe he was in a brothel, or maybe he was in the home of a bachelor old man in the mountains.

All I can say is that the world is dangerous and we must be on our guard.

Li Daoxuan naturally would not feel safe just because he was a man. After all, in this world, people are not only after sex, but also after money.

The boat sailed across the river, accompanied by the sunset in the sky, and before we knew it, night had fallen.

I spent some money to have the boatman bring us some food, which was all seafood from the river.

It is said that people live by the mountains and rivers, and the boatman makes a living in the mountains and rivers all day long, so naturally he is good at cooking river food. The cooking method and taste are completely different from those in the restaurants in the city. They seem to know more about the characteristics of the delicacies in the river. Even Li Daoxuan, who has a past life, can't help but praise it.

Seeing Xue Yuyan's eager look, he gave her a whole fish that had not been eaten.

The little girl was ignorant and drooled at the sight of the fish. She tilted her head to look at her sister and only dared to eat it after getting her sister's permission.

Seeing the greedy look on the little girl's face, Li Daoxuan was convinced that the two sisters had not eaten well for many days.

He held the rabbit in his arms and handed it the carrot. He rubbed the rabbit's head and said, "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll ask the boatman to bring some more."

"Thank you, young master. No, there is no need to trouble you anymore." Xue Yurong quickly waved her hand to express her gratitude.

"Don't be polite, it's just some food." He said with a smile.

Seeing that Xue Yurong kept refusing, he didn't force her anymore. He just looked out the window and saw the river was as red as stars.

The big ship was sailing in the water, and the boatmen who had just taken their turn had a rare chance to rest.

They gathered at the bow, around the fire, looking at the steam rising from the pot, all drinking from their cups, singing and laughing, the sound of which continued non-stop.

After the fisherman's song was sung, the explicit meaning always made the women blush.

A boatman had to pee, so he stood up and walked along the side of the boat. He took off his pants and prepared to pee, and in a daze he looked at the river. He thought it was normal, but the scene in front of him made him terrified.

I saw a long-haired head floating on the river beside the boat. The head looked up at the boatman with a strange smile on its face.

The boatman didn't even bother to pull up his pants. He turned around and ran down the bow with a scream, holding up his belt as he ran, pointing at the river and saying, "Ghost! Ghost!"
