A rooster crows wake up the sleeping people, drive the merchants to the farmers, everyone is busy running, living different days, enjoying different joys.

The shouts in Yutang Pass came and went, Mo Yanxi sat at the stall of a bun shop, looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a smile: "You two slow down, when you are seen, you think I am abused and don't give you food." ”

Nan Ke's cheeks were bulging, and there was some chili oil on his mouth, and when he heard Mo Yanxi's words, his head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly explained: "Miss, we haven't eaten such delicious hot buns for many days along the way, so we need to eat more before leaving, otherwise we won't be able to eat it for half a month." ”

Mo Yanxi looked at the bun in Nan Ke's hand, the skin was thin and the filling was big, the greasy juice soaked the skin, exuding an attractive aroma, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

In the past, my mother said that no matter how good the food is, if you eat it every day, there will be a day when you get tired of it, but in Mo Yanxi's heart, she will never get tired of eating the dishes she makes.

Tang Mingsang poured a mouthful of hot millet porridge, and was satisfied, and suddenly felt that his nose was wet. When I looked up, I didn't know when a thick layer of clouds had gathered over the sky.

"Miss, it seems to be raining."

As soon as Mingsang's words fell, the pouring rain began to fall coldly.

The owner of the steamed bun stall scolded, turned to Mo Yanxi and the three of them and said, "God doesn't appreciate food, business is not good these days!" I'm going back, and if the three guest officers are full of food and drink, they should go to the grass hall in front to hide from the rain, and they will be there as soon as they turn forward. ”

"Thank you boss for your kindness, let's go."

Mo Yanxi stretched out his hand to protect his face, and then called Nan Ke and the others to get up and go to the cottage.

Nan Ke was still eating the buns in his mouth, and when he heard this, he took the remaining four or five from the plate in his arms.

The three of them trotted all the way, and when they entered the grass hall, they were already half-wet.

Nan Ke carefully wiped off the water that fell on the buns, and said with some distress: "I knew that there would be a result, I might as well finish the buns there!" ”

"Sister Nanke, the boss said this to drive people out, if we don't leave, he is not happy, and he may not be able to say some gossip. We can't stand in the way of people coming back. ”

Mo Yanxi wiped the rain off Ming Sang's face, turned his head to see that the bun in Nan Ke's arms was unscathed, and then said: "The door is ventilated, let's go inside and light a fire to remove the moisture." I don't think the rain will stop for a while. ”

The three of them said, turned around and walked inside, this thatched hall had been abandoned for many years, and it was dark inside, and there were cobwebs everywhere. The thatched hall was covered by a partition door before and after.,I think the former owner was also a particular person.,Although it's a burrow.,There are a lot of things.。

Nan Ke took the lead, wanting to find a clean place to eat steamed buns, so he quickly took the lead in entering the partition door.

With an exclamation in an instant, Nan Ke's eyes widened, and he froze in place and did not speak. The snow-white bun rolled out of his arms, and a pair of festering, mud-stained hands quickly reached over and snatched the bun away.

Mo Yanxi and Ming Sang hurriedly followed, and instantly froze in place like Nan Ke.

I saw that in the dark corner behind the door, there were nearly a dozen or so naked, gray-faced, festering teenagers.

They curled up together, staring at Mo Yanxi and the three of them vigilantly, the snow-white buns had become dirty the moment they were fed into their mouths.

Mo Yanxi's eyes were red, and he said softly: "Don't be afraid, we have no malicious intentions, we just came here to hide from the rain." ”

Those teenagers didn't answer, they still stared at them tightly, Mo Yanxi glanced over, only to find that not only were their whole bodies ulcerated, but some even had abscesses in their eyes. Blood festered and covered his face.

"Mingsang, you go and light the fire, stay away from them, don't scare them."

When Tang Mingsang heard this, he quickly withdrew his gaze, walked to the side, picked up some firewood, and lit a small fire.

The small fire with a warm glow made the light of the entire grass hall brighter a little, Mo Yanxi took the remaining bun in Nan Ke's arms, walked to the young man on the very edge, and raised his hand to hand it to him.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then snatched the bun and devoured it, this time without a scramble, and the others looked at her with fear.

Mo Yanxi's nose was sour, and it was not difficult to imagine what these teenagers had experienced.

The boy's lips were chapped, and after eating a bun, his lips were cracked and bleeding constantly. All he could do was lick his lips.

"How old are you?"

Mo Yanxi asked in a gentle voice. The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally replied in a whisper, "Thirteen years old." ”

Mo Yan was shocked, thirteen years old, about the same age as her, but this body looked so thin that it didn't look like it at all.

"You're from Yutangguan? How did it end up here? ”

The young man shook his head, there was no fear in his eyes, and said, "We were all left in the Yutang Pass, and they didn't want us to be thrown here." But no one wants us here, we have nowhere to go, so we have to stay here. ”

Mo Yanxi was speechless, Nan Ke took a step back, turned around and secretly wiped his tears.

Now is not a famine era, even beggars are rare, along the way, Mo Yanxi and they have seen such a scene for the first time.

"Don't be afraid, when the rain stops, we will take you to a big meal, the meat buns are absolutely enough, and then buy you some new clothes, take you out of here, and find a place for you."

Mo Yan said nothing, beckoned the young man to come forward to roast the fire, they were all sores on their bodies, and now it was raining, and they had no clothes to avoid their bodies, so they were easy to get sick. The teenagers just moved forward, still staring at them.

Nan Ke's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but scold: "Is there any heavenly reason, there are such vicious parents in the world, leaving them here, waiting for death!" ”

Mo Yanxi sighed: "Yutang Pass extends in all directions, connecting many towns, and those parents chose to leave them here, probably thinking that there would be passing merchants to take away, even if they were servants, they would have a bite to eat." Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are starving bones on the road, and there are still people who can't eat in this world. ”

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping. The grass hall was leaking everywhere, and the humidity was getting heavier and heavier.

Mo Yanxi took a nap with her elbow on her elbow, and suddenly a cool breeze blew, the fire flashed, Mo Yanxi woke up in shock, and saw a black shadow slowly approaching her, her back was cold, and she hurriedly turned around to look, it was a young man who came over with dry firewood. was frightened by her coldness, and instantly froze in place and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Mo Yanxi hurriedly took it with a smile and said, "I'll come, you can sit down, it's easier to catch a cold when you stand up." ”

After speaking, Mo Yanxi threw the firewood into the fire, his eyes stared, he felt that something was wrong, and looked up slightly, and the teenagers who were nesting behind him didn't know when they were already sitting in front, blocking the passage of the partition door.

Mo Yanxi was shocked, and hurriedly called out to the sleeping two, and said softly: "Don't sleep, you are damp and easy to get cold, I see that the rain is about to stop, let's leave later." ”

Nan Ke rubbed his eyes, sat up straight in a daze, and slept in a daze, unable to even open his eyes for a while.

Tang Mingsang was ignorant, glanced at Mo Yanxi, and saw that her face was not very good, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you sick, why are you sweating?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it over. Mo Yanxi stretched out his hand and held Tang Mingsang's hand tightly, and sent it away with a smile for a moment.

"Maybe I was dazed just now, and I caught a cold, so it's not in the way."

After speaking, he swept around the young man and asked, "You... How did this injury come about? Didn't you get beaten up? ”

The boy who ate the bun just now licked his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Yes... It's bitten. ”

The light of the fire flickered on and off, and the outside of the house was still drowsy, and no one spoke for a while.

Tang Mingsang frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and after thinking carefully for a while, his scalp instantly became numb.

After another half an hour, the bonfire without firewood was slowly extinguished, and the house was instantly dark, and the rain had not stopped, and the sound of the rain could be heard while sitting inside.

Tang Mingsang glanced at Mo Yanxi, stood up against the wall, and said tremblingly, "I'll go... Find some dry firewood in front. ”

After speaking, he just took two steps, and when he was about to go out, the whole person was pulled back by two pairs of retracted force and fell heavily to the ground!

There was no fear in the eyes of these teenagers, and they all glared at Mo Yanxi and the three of them with murderous intent. In their eyes, the three of them were like rabbits on the run.

Nan Ke was taken aback and hurriedly hid behind Mo Yanxi.

Mo Yanxi stabilized his mind, took out a dagger from his arms, and said to everyone: "You believe me, when the rain stops, we will take you to eat, raw meat is not edible." ”

But where can these hungry young people listen, they have long been hungry, and the early experience has made them full of hatred for outsiders, and it has also made them lose their minds and break free from etiquette.

All they knew was that they needed something to eat, and there were probably a lot of such teenagers here before, and those who showed weakness might have been eaten.

The young man was stunned for a moment when he saw the sharp weapon, and then returned to his fierce appearance. A young man saw Mo Yanxi's delicate neck exposed, his eyes were red, and he swallowed saliva and pounced on it.

Between the lightning and flint, Mo Yanxi kicked away, holding the dagger and hesitating, and couldn't bear to start.

For a moment, the young man immediately reached out and snatched the dagger, Mo Yanxi realized that although they looked thin, they were men after all, and their strength was much greater than her.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes became even more scarlet, Tang Mingsang hurriedly blocked in front of Mo Yanxi, and a smell of blood spread. Mo Yanxi's eyes were stunned, and he looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Tang Mingsang's right shoulder was bitten tightly, and a young man behind him walked towards them with an axe stained with blood.
