Chapter 1207: Chapter 19: Sparring Across Space, A Chance Encounter [Extra Chapter for Silver Alliance Big Cousin Completed]

He rested his hands behind his head, looked at the sky, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "From now on, we need to think about ourselves."

He smiled, looking at the sky, silently thinking: "Dad, Mom, rest assured, I’ve already sent Little Sister to a good family where she can have a blessed life."

"I will also live well from now on."

"You can be at ease now."

In the silence,

only the rustling of straw could be heard as the children turned over restlessly.

A little beggar suddenly asked in a low voice: "Boss, you refused Big Brother today, do you regret it?"

Ren Chun, with a piece of straw in his mouth, said bitterly: "I regret it... I really regret it."

"From the moment I said the first word of refusal, I regretted it. I knew I made the wrong choice, but I couldn’t leave you all behind."

"As I spoke, I regretted it, my heart ached with each word of refusal..."

Ren Chun lay there, tears quietly streaming from his eyes, flowing down the corners, silently dripping onto the straw.

"But I couldn’t go with them. If I went... I would be no better than those bad people. For more than a year, it was all of you who helped me. In name, I was the boss, but without you, Little Sister would have been taken a long time ago, and I would have probably died trying to fight them off to keep her safe..."

"Now that Little Sister is settled, I won’t leave for anything. I’ll either live with you guys or find a good family for each of you..."

Ren Chun bit on the straw.

Tears streamed incessantly from both eyes, but his voice remained calm.

The little guys sighed collectively: "There aren’t that many good families... Besides, even if there are, who would want us... We’d better strive to live together."

"Yes, in a few months, it will get cold. Let’s pay attention, see if there are any executions, and go ambush at the Graveyard in advance to grab a few clothes."

Ren Chun reminded them: "Remember this, without clothes, this winter, if you don’t freeze to death, you’ll at least suffer frostbite... San Gouzi couldn’t run fast because of frostbite on his feet and was caught and killed... Do you remember that?"

"Yes, Boss."

"Additionally, try to find some old elm trees, in autumn, while there are still leaves, break off the branches and bring them back. In case there’s nothing to eat in winter, elm branches can be eaten."

"Everyone prepare a sharp stone, in case we encounter a lone wild dog, we can kill it and eat the meat!"

"Pile some yellow mud here first, when winter comes and heavy snow falls, we can use it to cover the holes in the walls... It can’t be covered now, if it’s covered now, this place will be taken... We can’t compete with those adult beggars. But at present, they underestimate this place with holes on all sides..."

"And..."

Ren Chun said one thing after another, giving instructions.

It was clear he had thought about the road ahead more than once.

And he had thought it out very thoroughly.

How to live, how to live, how to lead seven brothers through life, he had it all figured out in his heart.

All seven little companions sat up, listened intently, and nodded continuously.

"Before, with Little Sister around, we were tied down, unable to act freely, afraid of inviting trouble, but now we can be a bit more flexible..."

"We have no one to rely on in the future, only ourselves. So, let’s all pull ourselves together. By the time we’re all around twelve or thirteen and stronger, we’ll be fine."

Ren Chun spoke in a low voice, arranging and planning the road ahead.

It showed how calm and composed his mind was at this moment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

When he refused Big Brother, he had already thought about how to proceed.

At that moment,

just as he finished speaking, he heard someone laugh: "Hey, Ren Chun, how do you know you won’t have anything to rely on in the future?"

The voice was warm, like a beam of sunshine piercing through the cold winter.
