    Male protagonist, you are in need of help 1

    Zhou Min woke up to a burst of noise and thunder. Zhou Min was lying on the kang at this time, covered with a lumpy cotton cover. Fortunately, the kang was burned, otherwise it would be so cold.

    Zhou Min’s face was sallow, and her lips were so dry that they were cracked and bleeding. Zhou Min’s expression was bleak, and her eyes were staring blankly at the plaster wall.

    The door outside was pushed open, and the footsteps of several people came in. The door curtain was opened and a middle-aged woman in her forties came in from the outside. She was wearing a black cotton jacket with patches all over it, but it was clean. She looked like a neat person. She was holding a hot porcelain bowl. She first put the bowl on the edge of the kang, and then put the kang table up with her hands and feet neatly. Then she picked up the bowl and placed it in front of Zhou Min.

    “Little Junior Sister, come on, eat something quickly, eat it quickly!”

    Zhou Min was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He picked up the millet porridge and took a big sip. It was a bit hot, but he couldn’t care less and swallowed it hard.

    The two children who followed behind looked over with longing expressions. They turned out to be Carrot Tou who had been malnourished for a long time. One was five years old and the other was three years old.

    Although Zhou Min had just woken up and had no memory of the client, but looking at the two little guys looking at her pitifully, she really couldn’t eat alone, so she couldn’t help but say, “Go get a bowl and eat some with your sister. She can’t finish it.”

    Senior sister Hu Xinlan wanted to dissuade her, but when she saw the two junior brothers and sisters looking at him eagerly, she turned around and got off the kang to get a bowl and poured some millet porridge out. As a result, when the porridge was gone, two raw eggs were exposed underneath.

    Zhou Min picked up the wooden spoon and was about to pick the eggs, but Hu Xinlan stopped her and said, “Quick, don’t separate the eggs. You can eat them yourself. When you are healthy, you can take care of the two little ones!”

    The five-year-old boy seemed to be precocious and sensible, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, “Fifth Senior Sister, my little Junior Sister and I will be full just by eating porridge!”

    Seeing this, Zhou Min was silent for a moment, then picked up the bowl and started eating. After eating two eggs and a large bowl of millet porridge, his stomach felt warm.

    When Hu Xinlan saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fifth junior sister, don’t go down the mountain to look for work in the future. Times are special now. People like us… Alas! With the criticism and the destruction of the four olds… no one will believe in fortune telling anymore. Besides, we used to tell people’s fortunes in the temple.It’s just to make ends meet. Now that the temples have been smashed by those people, as long as some intellectuals are tied to the streets to engage in criticism, it will become increasingly difficult in the past few years.Let’s all keep a low profile! It’s a year of living, and don’t think about other things.Otherwise, how can I explain to Master!”

    Zhou Min lowered his eyes and nodded in response.

    Seeing this, Hu Xinlan neatly cleared the kang table, boiled water on the stove, said hello to Zhou Min, and went to the vestibule. Their place belonged to a Taoist temple, with a temple in the front and a small courtyard in the back. Seven senior brothers and sisters lived together, but now there are only senior sister Hu Xinlan, fifth senior sister Zhou Min, and the youngest sixth and seventh junior brothers.

    The senior brothers and sisters in the middle all went down the mountain and disappeared.

    When he heard the sound of the door closing, Zhou Min opened his eyes and said to the little boy playing on the ground, “Baby, go and lock the door before you come in to play.”

    “My name is not Baobao, my name is Fanshu.” The little boy playing on the ground looked up at Zhou Min seriously and introduced himself. The name Zhou Min said was covered with black lines on his forehead!

    Sweet potato?!

    ·······

    “…Okay! Okay, Sweet Potato, can you help senior sister lock the door?” Zhou Min smiled with the corner of his mouth twitching.

    Fanshu was very obedient and well-behaved. When he heard Zhou Min’s words, he responded and went out. Zhou Min saw clearly through the papered window that the child was short and the door was tall, so he stepped on a stool and bolted the door.

    After Fanshu closed the door, Zhou Min looked at Fanshu and said, “Fanshu, senior sister wants to have a good rest. You and the junior sister should not argue, stay here quietly, and don’t let anyone in. Do you understand?”

    Sweet Potato looks like he is five years old, but he is actually seven years old. He has a big head and a small body, and he looks like he is suffering from chronic malnutrition.

    The little sweet potato first hugged the junior sister onto the kang, took off her shoes, and then climbed up again. Zhou Min noticed that the pants of the two children were too short, reaching above their ankles and necks.

    The two little guys crawled up to Fifth Senior Sister. Fifth Senior Sister tucked the three-year-old girl into the quilt and let her lean on her chest, while Fanshu sat down against Zhou Min.

    Zhou Min touched the yellow and messy hair of the two children and asked, “Sweet potato, can you do it?”

    Fanshu said with bright eyes, “Fifth Senior Sister, you can rest if you want. I will stay with you. I won’t let others disturb you.”

    “Yes.” Zhou Min smiled and nodded, then carried the little girl to the outside of the bed, slept inside, closed his eyes, and began to accept the client’s memory.
