<h4>Chapter 2595: A Mute</h4>


    Feng Jiu sat in the tent, munching on cakes. When she heard the girl’s words, her eyes shed. The heart of the ind? Was it the centre of Peng Lai Immortal Ind?


    With her interest piqued, her speed of eating cakes slowed.


    The beautiful woman was pulled towards the small tent by her daughter. She was astonished to see the thin figure seated in the small tent. Her daughter said that it was a young man, but she did not anticipate him to be so thin. After noticing that the boy was roughly the same age as her children, her maternal instincts surged.


    “Why are you here by yourself? Will your family be at ease if you travel alone?” The beautiful woman inquired softly, her gentle gaze falling on Feng Jiu’s face.


    Feng Jiu bit the cake and blinked her eyes. There was an aura of naivety between her eyebrows. She looked at the woman with her head slightly tilted and without speaking.


    “My mother asked you a question! Why aren’t you speaking up? Are you a mute?” The young man on the other side yelled and cast an impatient nce at Feng Jiu.


    The others were taken aback as soon as he spoke. Mute?


    The beautiful woman looked at her husband before turning to face Feng Jiu and asked, “Are you unable to speak?”


    Feng Jiu paused for a moment, nodded, took the cake in both hands, and continued to bite, acting like a child who had been starving for a long time.


    “Husband, look at this child.” The beautiful woman looked at her husband and hesitated to speak.


    “Madam, you don’t intend to keep her with you, do you? This is not a small animal, but a human.” With a helpless expression on his face, the man shook his head and smiled.


    “No, I believe our carriage still has a seat. If the child is heading in the same direction as us, we might as well take him for a ride so he is not alone on the road.” The beautiful woman said warmly.


    Seeing this, the middle-aged man only stared at Feng Jiu in silence.


    “Would you like to join us? We have a carriage. We can give you a ride. Anyway, it is a long journey! You are wee to join us.” The girl crouched in front of Feng Jiu and smiled at her.


    Feng Jiu was somewhat astonished. She blinked a set of bright and pure eyes and looked at the people in front of her. Finally, after some thought, she nodded. She simultaneously extended her hand and handed the girl the cake to express her friendship.


    “Hee hee, are you giving me something to eat? What kind of cake is this?” The girl was unguarded in front of others. She picked up the cake that Feng Jiu had handed her and was about to eat it. However, the middle-aged man coughed softly.


    “Have you forgotten what Father told you again, Little Shi? When you go out, avoid eating anything given to you by strangers.” The middle-aged gentleman stated calmly.


    As soon as she heard the words, she turned around and smiled. “He ate it himself, Father! What’s more, he does not know us and will not poison us in any way. There is nothing to worry about.” She took a bite of the cake as she spoke.


    “Mm, it’s delicious.”


    She gave her parents a big smile and told Feng Jiu, “Thank you! My name is Xie Shisi. Shi means poetry and Si means missing. My family calls me Little Shi. What about you? What’s your name?”


    “Simply call him Mute. What else are you going to call him?” The young man over there snorted as he kicked the soil on the ground. He looked at Feng Jiu with disdain.


    He could notprehend. Why should they bring this beggar-looking boy along?
