My sister returns to a wealthy family, and her eight brothers spoil her with their lives.

Shanghai is known as the Magic City of the East. This city is dreamy and prosperous, and it is a place that many people yearn for. However, behind the bright noise, there is always an unknown dark night.

North of Jiangdong District.

The streets are particularly lively at night. This is the urban-rural fringe area. Many people who come to Shanghai to work from other places gather here.

A little girl with yellow hair, wearing an old red winter coat that was half too short, black pants with holes in the knees, and two shoes of different colors on her feet.

The little girl was carrying a broken woven bag, and inside was the drink bottle she picked up.

The faint light from the street lights made the little girl's face look even sallower. Judging from her exquisite facial features that had not yet grown, she was probably six or seven years old.

As usual, the little girl passed by a small Chinese restaurant on the street.

In the small restaurant, a big boy was clearing the tables. The eldest boy is Zhou Daqiang, who comes to the small restaurant every night to work part-time.

Zhou Daqiang caught a glimpse of the little girl looking at him eagerly outside the door and smiled gently.

"Xiao Xi is here? Just wait."

Zhou Daqiang took a plastic packaging box, packed the unfinished meals of the guests on the table, and gave them to the little girl.

"Thank you, Brother Daqiang."

The little girl took the packing box and left quickly because she was afraid that the boss would see her and brother Daqiang would be scolded again.

She walked a long way before sitting down on the street and wolfing down the leftovers. To her, this meal was really delicious.

After eating, the little girl walked to a deserted alley with her woven bag on her back and stood in a daze under the street lamp.

This little girl named Xiao Xi has never known where her parents and family are since she was a child.

Only the jade finger on a red string around her neck, with the Chinese character "XI" engraved on the inner wall of the jade finger, can prove her identity.

Xiao Xi has been thrown into the trash can since she was born.

A childless couple picked her up and raised her until she was five years old. Unexpectedly, the couple had a child of their own, and Xiao Xi was abandoned again.

Xiao Xi can only make a living by picking up garbage and lives in a shack in a garbage dump in the north of the city.

Xiao Xi picked up bottles and waste paper boxes and sold them to an old man who collected waste in an alley.

Just a year ago, the old man suddenly discovered Xiao Xi's jade ring and said that he was destined to Xiao Xi and asked Xiao Xi to become his teacher.

But Xiao Xi could only come to his small yard at night to teach her knowledge.

Therefore, Xiao Xi continued to pick up trash during the day.

What's amazing is that every night when Xiao Xi comes to Master's courtyard, she can feel a special aura that makes her body so comfortable that Xiao Xi often studies with Master all night without feeling sleepy.

Later, the master said that this was spiritual energy, because only his small courtyard had spiritual energy.

Xiao Xi was already very smart, and with the blessing of the Small Courtyard Spirit Gathering Array, this year, she learned calligraphy, painting, various musical instruments, chess, and medical skills from her master...

What others would never learn in a lifetime, Xiao Xi has mastered in less than a year.

Half a month ago, the master suddenly started teaching her how to practice.

Just last night.

The master suddenly said: "Xiao Xi, I have taught you all the things that master should teach you, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, our Xiao Xi is not a big deal."

"In terms of cultivation, Xiao Xi has already entered the early stage of Qi training. Next, it's up to Xiao Xi herself. Xiao Xi must practice diligently."

"Ah?" Xiao Xi was stunned.

"Where are you going, Master?"

"As a teacher, I don't belong here. It's time to leave."

It was so sudden that Xiao Xi couldn't accept it for a moment. She hugged her master and cried bitterly.

"Master, don't leave Xiao Xi. Does Master also want to abandon Xiao Xi?"

The master was also very reluctant to leave Xiao Xi, "The time has come. I can only accompany you here. I will give you a gift."

Then, the master tapped Xiao Xi's forehead with his finger.

"Xiao Xi doesn't want gifts, she just wants to be with Master."

"Silly boy, Xiao Xi's luck lies behind. When Xiao Xi finds his family and improves his cultivation, he will be able to get the gift given to you by his teacher."

"Master always said that I can find my family? But where are they?"

The master touched Xiao Xi's head and said, "Xiao Xi, as a master, if you remember, as long as you have this jade ring, Xiao Xi will be able to find your family. If anyone wants to see this jade ring, Xiao Xi should show it to them."

"Okay, Xiao Xi should go back early today."

Xiao Xi felt an irresistible force and gently pushed her outside the door.

She was so reluctant to let go of her master, and there were still many things she wanted to say to her, but she only saw him waving his hand to her, and then the door to the courtyard closed.

Xiao Xi turned around and cried, leaving the alley and returning to the shack where she lived. She cried until she fell asleep from exhaustion.

At this time, Xiao Xi, who unknowingly came to the entrance of the alley again, stood blankly under the street lamp.

Recalling yesterday, when Master said he was leaving, she wanted to cry again.

She suddenly felt very unwilling and wanted to go to Master's courtyard again.

But when she walked to the door of the small courtyard, through the crack in the door, she saw darkness inside.

After just one day, the courtyard wall was covered with withered grass, which looked so desolate in the cold wind. The most important thing was that Xiao Xi could no longer feel any aura in the courtyard.

It seems that Master really has to leave.

Xiao Xi sat at the door, tears streaming down her face again, but Xiao Xi knew that the master didn't want her anymore, the master just left.

After following her master for so long, Xiao Xi understood that it was fate, but she just felt so sad.

Suddenly, Xiao Xi heard a "squeaking" sound, and saw a little hamster jump onto her lap, and kept patting her hand on her knee with its little paws.

"Little hamster, are you trying to comfort me?"

The little hamster chirped twice.

Xiao Xi recognized this little hamster. When she was learning skills from her master in his yard, the little hamster would often jump on the stone table and watch quietly.

"Then the little hamster is willing to stay with Xiao Xi from now on?"

The little hamster squeaked twice more and jumped into her pocket.

Xiao Xi stood up, suddenly not feeling so uncomfortable anymore.

Although the master left, he taught her so much valuable knowledge and also taught her how to practice. Now she has a little hamster to accompany her again.

"Little hamster, I will call you Xiaodou from now on."

One person and one mouse left the alley.

Xiao Xi passed by the bridge opening of the overpass. Two days ago, due to construction, the water pipe was dug and cut off. The water flooded everything under the bridge opening. Until now, no one has come to deal with it, and no one has put up a warning sign.

Xiao Xi thought: Fortunately, no one has passed this road.

Just when she thought this, an uncle riding a battery bike came over, and Xiao Xi hurriedly ran to the middle of the road.

"Uncle, the road ahead is flooded, it's dangerous!"

The uncle glanced at Xiao Xi and ignored her.

When Xiao Xi saw the uncle, he increased his power and rushed into the water, then finally pushed up. After a long time, the uncle dragged the battery car up from a distance like a drowned dog.

Xiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head. Just as she was about to leave, there were car lights shining in front of her again.

Battery-powered cars have a hard time, let alone cars. Xiao Xi became anxious and ran to the middle of the road again, waving her hands desperately.
