Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Chicken Legs

There are more than two dozen dishes on the table, and the portions are not small.

The location of the palace is relatively remote, and the town is at the bottom of the mountain, but in fact, there is still a considerable distance to walk.

When they came out after training in the morning, the two of them were already hungry at this time.

These more than 20 dishes are a big feast for good guys, which is called a nonsense to eat sea.

Although there are many dishes that Wang Yan has never seen, the taste is quite acceptable.

The two children can't eat much at a meal, Wang Yan and his two generations have enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time, the two of them ordered more than 20 dishes, and the table also made the two children look unpresentable.

In the past, Long Cheng was very particular about etiquette in terms of eating and doing, but now that this is at his own home, there is nothing to pay attention to.

A plate full of chicken thighs was placed on Wang Yan's legs, and he took one in one hand with both hands, and only picked the place with the most meat and took two bites and threw it, thinking that today could be regarded as a feast.

staring at the dishes on this table, many of them didn't move a bite, and they almost fed the chicken legs on their side.

"Hiccup~~~"

Full of wine and food, Wang Yan let out a long hiccup.

Long Cheng took out a small wooden box with the length of a finger from his waist, took out two toothpicks from it and handed them to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand to take it and take a look......

This toothpick is unusual in that it is not wooden, and it has a unique sheen on it......

"I said, young master, your toothpick is made of tiger whiskers?"

Long Cheng nodded and said casually.

"Isn't a toothpick made of tiger whiskers, isn't it possible that there is still a use of wood?"

“......?”

Wang Yan admitted that he had a generation gap with this rich young master.

After a full meal and wine, I thought that I had to lead Long Cheng to pick out some really simple clothes, and the two sat for a while and drank a few cups of tea before leaving the restaurant.

The two got up to leave, and Long Siliu came over from behind and thanked them for a while, sent the two out of the door of the restaurant, and insisted on sending the young masters home.

"Alright, Sensei is delivered. “

The two of them came out thinking about taking a walk to digest and digest the food after eating, and it was really a bit bad for a fat man to follow the back buttocks, so Long Cheng let Long Siliu go back.

The two had not gone far when they saw a large and a small group of refugees huddled in front of a coal merchant on the corner of the street.

This is a mother and daughter, covered in soot and dirty.

In response to that sentence, there are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat.

Due to the poor harvest in various places, there are also frequent typhoons in the west. As a result, this large area of the entire northwest has a very bad harvest this year, fortunately the northwest has not fought in recent years, and if the war starts, the people here will be even more miserable.

As early as the middle of the year, there were many refugees in the town, and all major merchants opened many porridge shops under the leadership of the prince to participate in disaster relief.

However, there were so many refugees that the government did not need to open porridge shops or reduce land rent, and the cost of disaster relief was too great for the long run, so the merchants did not need to use it, so they removed their porridge shops one after another.

Now the only one who can afford to open a porridge shop is the prince's family.

By the autumn, however, the situation had improved and there were far fewer refugees.

Long Cheng had already seen a lot of this, whether it was in the capital or on the way to the northwest, he had seen a lot.

The little girl curled up in her mother's arms looked like she was only three or four years old, naked, her body was full of scratch marks, many places had become inflamed and ulcerated, and her mother was lying there without moving.

Looking at this little girl's haggard appearance, this looks like a child, this whole thing is like a three-year-old child's skeleton with a human skin, although he has two lives, but it was not until this moment that Wang Yan really had a concept of the sentence "thin is only skin and bones".

Wang Yan wanted to reach out and touch the child's head, but before the trembling hand touched the child, his heart trembled with him.

In his previous life, Wang Yan really lived in a good time, a good country, no famine, no war......

The child's mother tried the back of her hand, and there was a faint snort.

Wang Yan pulled his legs and ran to the restaurant just now, thinking that there seemed to be some leftovers at the table he had just eaten at this time.

If there is a good leftovers in the big restaurant, it is basically left for the people in the restaurant to enjoy, and the rest will go to the swill bucket.

Few restaurants will pack their leftover meals and send them to poor refugees, because it is everyone's business to be poor, and what they open is a business.

Capitalism of all evils.

rushed to the second floor without even saying hello, and saw that the waiter was cleaning up the leftovers on the table, Wang Yan went up and picked up a plate of chicken legs that he had nibbled on a few bites and ran away.

The waiter was startled at first, thinking that a refugee had come to make trouble.

Seeing that the person who came was the young master who was eating with the little master, he hurriedly saluted.

Wang Yan couldn't take care of other people's families at this time, so he ran away.

It takes less than five minutes to go back and forth.

Long Cheng stood on the side of the street with a reluctant face, and he didn't know what kind of reputation his little brother was doing, wasn't he just a refugee, making a fuss.

trotted all the way back here, holding a plate of passive chicken legs in his hand, and squatted in front of the mother and son.

"Auntie is getting up soon, there is something to eat. Auntie?!"

Try it again in the mother's mouth.

Within five minutes, the mother was out of breath.

It's really thinner than paper.

The child also seemed to feel that there were people around him, so he opened his eyes weakly and looked at the two big brothers standing beside him with a blank face.

Reaching out and rubbing the back of his hand, he sniffed hard. The two little eyes lit up immediately.

took a look at the plate in the hand of the big brother in front of him, and without saying a word, he immediately reached out and snatched two chicken legs from Wang Yan's hands, and the plate with the chicken legs fell to the ground, and the rest of the chicken legs were scattered all over the ground.

And this little girl didn't care so much, holding a chicken leg with both hands in one hand, and turning her back was a fierce gnaw, not caring whether there was other people's saliva on the chicken leg.

Long Cheng stood aside and looked at the little girl with a disdainful look. In his eyes, it was as if this little girl was no different from a cat or a dog on the side of the road.

Long Cheng looked down at the blood marks on Wang Yan's hand that were caught by this little girl.

"See, this kind of untouchables don't know how to be grateful, you see......"

"Can you please shut up. ”

Wang Yan said in a cold voice.

Long Cheng was speechless for a while when he heard this, and waved his hand.

Looking at the little girl swallowing so much, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and wanted to reach out and touch the child's little head, but who would have thought that this little girl was so frightened that she cried directly at this time.

"Woo woo, don't hit me......"

"Well, eat well, I won't hit you. ”

After the two chicken legs were down, the little girl burped. I felt the feeling of fullness in my belly, and the indescribable grievances in my heart.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at his mother lying beside him.

Looking back at the chicken legs scattered on the ground wrapped in dirt, the little girl quickly pushed her mother.

"Mother, wake up mother, there are chicken legs to eat, mother, wake up, mother, mother......"

Seeing that her mother had not yet woken up, the little girl curled up in her mother's arms, feeling the only remaining warmth of her mother's body.

Wang Yan's eye sockets were shallow, and he couldn't help it when he saw this scene. As soon as he turned his head to look at Long Cheng with an indifferent face, the angry Wang Yan kicked Long Cheng's ass that was not good.

"Are you still human, why don't you have a little human flavor......"

"Oh my ass, you're not human, why am I so tasteless!"

"Do you feel any of you?"

"If you feel it again, can you make his mother cry......"

Looking at the appearance of this little girl, the two of them were really a little unbearable.

The reason why most of the refugees in Redstone Town have decreased from the middle of the year to the present is that there are too many people dying of starvation and disease.

The government's daily job now is to go to the streets to clean up these sick and starving refugees.

It's good to have adults, at least it can give children a shelter.

But looking at the little girl curled up in his mother's arms in front of him, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of a word in his heart that he didn't want to mention.

Easy to eat......

He took off his shirt and draped it over the little girl's body, and touched the child's shoulder with his hand.

I only felt cold palms.

It's late autumn now, and although the weather isn't too cold, it's going to freeze to death.

Wang Yan helped the child up and touched her little head.

"Follow me from today onwards, what's your name. “

The little girl said timidly.

"I ...... I don't remember ......"

"Okay, I'll call you a little chicken leg from now on. “

got up and took the little chicken leg by the little hand, and said towards Long Cheng.

"I took this kid, I went shopping today, let's go back. “

Long Cheng looked at the pitiful little chicken leg and felt some pity in his heart.

"Okay. “

The little chicken leg turned to look at his mother and said timidly.

"But my mother ......"

Long Cheng also came over at this time and patted the little chicken legs' little head melon.

"Your mother won't go hungry again......"

This place is not remote, there are people patrolling every day, and when they see a road falling, they will pull it away for centralized treatment.

In the school yard in the front yard of the palace, this group of girls and family members were studying the small wooden barrels that were half a meter thick and half a meter thick on the ground.

The prince asked Wang Yan for the "hidden weapon" formula hidden in his waist when he fought against Dragon City that day.

To put it bluntly, the power of this thing is not even as good as the second kick.

The prince has been marching and fighting for many years, and he has maintained the sharpest judgment on everything that can be used on the battlefield or in battle.

Although the prince advocates swordsmanship, if he continues to advocate swordsmanship on the battlefield, fighting fairly is tantamount to looking for death.

It was nearly evening, and the two of them returned to the palace with a thin little girl.

Wang Yan could smell the smell of crude gunpowder from afar, which was very pungent like the smell of firecrackers.

The little chicken leg asked about this smell, and quickly covered his little nose with his hand, pointed at Long Cheng and said loudly.

"Big brother, you fart!"

Long Cheng pointed at himself with a surprised expression.

"Me?!, but the smell is familiar. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan smiled.

"yes, aren't you familiar with it, your ass is so sharp......"

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw that this group of girls gathered in the front school - fireworks?!

What does this mean, it's the New Year?! No, there is no such thing as the New Year in Xinguo.

When I got closer, I saw that a firework had just been lit, and the spark could be more than two meters high, like a fire tree.

When the little chicken tree was raised, his eyes were full of little stars with excitement.

"Wow~~~ It's so beautiful. “
