Chapter 20: Zhang II

Xiao Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that this child, who was only about ten years old, was shuttling between towering trees just for a bite to eat! Silently turned around, untied the burden on his body, took out a pastry and handed it to Zhang Er. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Er happily took it, the shyness and embarrassment when he begged for the pastry just now had long disappeared, and he opened the pastry and sent it to his mouth, eating it wolfingly and rudely without letting a little bit of pastry crumbs fall out of the paper bag.

Xiao Qi looked at his eating appearance, and was inexplicably a little sad. Even if he may not have much time to do, experience all kinds of darkness in the palace, and compete for power and profit, no one has ever dared to lack his food since he was a child. For the first time, he felt that it was extremely easy to satisfy some simple people. Even if it's just a pastry, it's excellent for them.

But after a while, Zhang Er ate the pastries in the bag cleanly, and hiccups with great satisfaction. Xiao Qi watched him finish eating and handed him the water bladder, Zhang Er was not restrained, smiled at Xiao Qi, took the water bladder and poured it up.

Xiao Qi only felt strange, Zhang Er was just a middle-aged person, but the moment he took the water bladder and looked up and smiled at him, his eyes flashed like pearls, and Xiao Qi was shaken by him like that.

After Zhang Er finished eating, he touched his stomach with a dissatisfied expression, and Xiao Qi asked with a smile next to him, "What's wrong?" Haven't had enough yet? ”

Zhang Er nodded affirmatively, pursed his mouth, and said with a smile like the rising sun, "But I still want to thank you, I haven't eaten enough for several years, let alone something as good as being late." ”

Xiao Qi looked at his smile and couldn't figure out why a person like him, who couldn't even guarantee food and clothing, had such a bright smile. He saw a lot of eunuchs and palace maids living at the bottom of the palace, and they either had a sinister and vicious villain who did not know how to hide their ambitions, or they were insensitive, and they were already accustomed to what happened to them. For people like Zhang Er who have struggled at the bottom and still struggle to retain the brightest smile, Xiao Qi is undoubtedly loved.

Only then did he understand what his father meant when he said to him, "You must not be confined to the court". The senior sister outside the palace is so broad, even if the people in the palace can rule the world, but he can't see the great rivers and mountains he is in charge of, he can't see the suffering of the people, he can't see natural disasters and man-made disasters, and he can't see the warmth and coldness of people.

It turned out that his father had long understood the changes in the palace to people, so he wanted to let him out of the palace for a while, but his days in the palace were already trembling, like walking on thin ice, if he left the palace, I am afraid that he would not even be able to save his life, after thinking about it again, his father still gave up this decision, after all, if he lost his life, it was useless to understand anything.

Xiao Qi thought about his father, who had taken good care of him since he was a child, and asked casually, "What about your parents?" ”

"It's long gone." Zhang Er looked like he didn't care, but after a while, he rolled his eyes and made a look of crying, because he had just eaten a layer of blush on his face, and his eyes, which were already extraordinarily bright, were a little brighter with tears infiltrated, and the whole person looked very cute.

"Big brother, I, can I still come over for breakfast tomorrow?"

Xiao Qi looked at him like this and remembered that he was so pitiful when he first came in to eat dinner, and couldn't help but smile, it seems that this Zhang Er has a very clear grasp of his advantages, obviously he hasn't done this kind of thing once or twice.

Before Xiao Qi could speak, a loud crane chirped in the distance.

"You can come over for breakfast." Xiao Qi said as he walked towards the door, followed by Zhang Er.

The two of them looked out and saw a handsome young man under the tree, with a meal at his feet that several children and an adult would never finish.

The young man beckoned to the young children who poked their heads out to watch, "Come down and eat, I am your uncle, and there will be food delivered every morning and evening in the future, you can just come and get it, I won't remind you like this every time." ”

Guiyan smiled very gently, but the children on the tree were only whining and mourning. You know, they just climbed the tree house with great effort, and they just lay down to rest before they could take care of eating, and now they have to climb down the tree again and climb up again after eating?

But looking at the return words that did not speak, it was obvious that they were waiting for them to go down, and everyone still did not dare to disobey. Zhang Er didn't say a word, and slipped down directly from the tree, his movements were extremely smooth.

After Zhang Er went down, he waited for Xiao Qi next to the tree, watching Xiao Qi rub down little by little, he didn't say anything, just waited quietly next to him. After Xiao Qi landed, Zhang Er immediately pounced happily, and happily dragged Xiao Qi to eat.

The children are still growing up, and everyone eats a lot, but one of them stands out. The amount of food for the children is not much different, and most of them eat together, and the only exception is Zhang Er.

Everyone else had already finished eating, but Zhang Er was still adding rice bowl by bowl, and the people who watched Zhang Er eat on the side were already stunned, but Zhang Er still looked like he was not full and devoured it. When Zhang Er was about to go to add another meal, Xiao Qi stopped his movements.

"You haven't eaten for a long time, you can't eat so much, if you continue to eat like this, something will happen to you."

Zhang Er looked at Xiao Qi with a pitiful look, "But I really haven't eaten enough..."

Seeing that Xiao Qi looked disbelieving, Zhang Er took Xiao Qi's hand and put it on his stomach, "Big brother, you touch it, you touch it, my stomach is really still flat..."

Xiao Qi only felt that the tentacles were a piece of skin and bones, and touched his stomach, it was really deflated as if he hadn't eaten, and then he touched it, and there was no particularly swollen place, Xiao Qi was relieved, but he still didn't allow him to eat so unscrupulously.

"I can only eat one more bowl of rice."

"Oh." Zhang Er, who was depressed, got up and went to serve the rice again, but when he ate the fragrant rice, his mood had improved, and the whole person became radiant again, and his bright eyes stared at the rice in front of him without taking his eyes off.

Xiao Qi watched from the side to prevent him from going to serve dinner for a while, and on the other side, Gui Yan, who had not spoken since the children came down, stared at Zhang Er thoughtfully, slightly hanging his head and bangs to cover the change in his eyes, the smile on his face gradually receded, and the whole person sat there without sadness or joy.
