As the passers-by came and went, Gu Nan stood there alone, watching the literati disappear into the crowd under the city gate.

Shaking his head incomprehensibly, it was a strange person, chasing after him, but he didn't say anything after seeing it.

"Anyway, I'm afraid I'll be considered a madman."

Recalling the words of the literati, Gu Nan smiled, and he didn't know what he had seen and couldn't say it.

Previously, she had also learned some physiognomy when she was writing Luoqimen Dunjia, and she had also visited some people who studied physiognomy back then.

Xuan Xuan can't be said to be completely unfounded, and there may really be some pointing.

At first, she didn't really believe in this kind of thing, and it was mostly a joke. However, as she gradually deepened, she found that the real physiognomy was very different from most charlatans in later generations. The wait-and-see also combined many medical theories and speculations.

Gradually, she felt that this theory also had some credibility, but the literati just now looked a little simple.

Seeing that people are a little similar to doctors, and it is also an ordinary means to look at and hear, but Xu Wenren just looked at her palmistry for a long time, and he didn't know what the means were.

Without thinking about it anymore, Gu Nan turned around and prepared to leave.

She already has no money on her, and she can't get in a carriage, and there should be many days to go before Chen Liu.

As for Xu Wenren's statement that she was followed by a child, she knew that the little beggar she had given three copper coins earlier had followed her all the way from the city to the outside of the city, and now she was still secretly watching by the city gate.

She wasn't going to care, her steps weren't something the kid could keep up with, walking for a while.

If the child can't keep up, it's time to leave.

······

The little beggar stood at the gate of the city, his tattered clothes and the stench on his body made no one on either side want to lean over.

In his little black hand he held two white dough cakes, which were still steaming hot, and because his hands were dirty, the white flour in his hand was also stained with some black.

The little beggar hid at the foot of the city, secretly looking at the white-robed man not far away, and she did not dare to walk over.

The white-robed man carried his bamboo box on his back and turned around as if he was leaving.

Slowly walking far on the road, although the pace is not fast, but the walk is surprisingly fast, a few breaths have already walked out more than ten meters.

"Ahh

The look on the beggar's face was panicked, and he grabbed the bread in his hand, and hurriedly ran towards the figure who walked away.

"Rustle."

The summer wind blows the trees on both sides of the road, making the trees on the road in the forest shadows.

The sky is getting late, the sun is hanging in the west, the sunset of this day is submerged into the clouds on the side of the sky, the sun wheel of the past is gone, only the clouds that cover the side of the sky like scales.

The light breeze of the summer evening blew away the sweltering heat rarely.

"Bang." The little beggar fell to the ground, she really couldn't run anymore, the person in front of her walked very fast, she ran all the way.

can barely keep up because her father once taught her internal breath, otherwise she should have been tired and couldn't walk.

One of the white flour cakes fell to the ground, which was already cold by this time, and the other was eaten by her when the white-robed man had stopped to rest.

She hadn't eaten this one, even though she hadn't eaten in over a day.

The little beggar wanted to stand up, but could only kneel there and gasp.

The sweat on her face swept the dust off her face, making her face gray and black.

When he looked up again, the man in white was gone.

The little beggar sat there on his knees in despair, lying on the ground, and carefully picking up the white bread on the ground.

"Hmm..."

She couldn't help it, biting her mouth, but she still let out a whimper.

But she didn't shed tears, and her father had told her that his daughter would not cry.

"Woo..."

The beggar just sat there whimpering dryly, like a little beast.

"Whew."

There seemed to be a sigh in the woods, echoing in the shadows of the trees.

The beggar was stunned for a moment, then looked up in distraction.

The white-robed man, with the black stick in his hand, walked back from the end of the road and stood in the shadow of the tree in front of her.

There seemed to be some helplessness in Gu Nan's tone.

She was also surprised that even ordinary adults couldn't keep up with her footsteps, how could this little girl follow for so long.

"You've been with me for almost two days, what are you going to do?"

The little beggar tilted his head, came back to his senses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, got up from the ground panting, and walked in front of Gu Nan.

He lowered his head and hesitantly glanced at the white flour cake in his hand, which should not be called a white flour cake at this time, it was covered with dust and dirt.

pursed his mouth and handed over the white flour cake in his hand.

"Thank you, thank you."

The white bread was held between the little hands, and the dust and dirt made the white bread black as black bread.

Maybe it's the bumps along the way, so that the cake has long been pinched and deformed, like a ball.

Anyone who looks at something like this will not have an appetite.

But it was the best thing she could come up with right now.

Gu Nan looked at the white flour cake but was stunned for a while, standing in front of the little beggar.

I followed it for two days, just to be here?

The shadows of the trees, accompanied by the pale golden sun, shone on the bodies of the two of them.

The person in front of him was slow to react, and the beggar glanced at the bread in his hand, and slowly lowered his head.

Is it dirty······

Her eyes were slightly red, her eyes drooped, and she whispered.

"I'm sorry..."

The hand holding the bread gradually lowered.

One hand grabbed the dough from her hand and took it away.

The beggar looked up in surprise and smiled at the person in front of her.

"There's no reason to take back what you give to someone."

The man said as he put the unformed dough in his mouth.

Gu Nan ate the bread in her hand with a very unpalatable taste, the mud had a bitter taste, but she ate it in a big gulp until she finished eating the bread.

"It's delicious, thank you."

The little beggar listened to the voice in his ear.

The light of the slanting sun shone on the best she had ever seen.

He whimpered in his mouth, and finally lowered his head.

Something hot slipped down her cheeks.

She wanted to go up and grab the man, but she was afraid that her clothes would be stained again.

She only dared to stand still and cry, this was the first time she cried after her mother's death.

······

"Smack."

A piece of wood was added to the campfire, and it jumped in the flames, splashing a few sparks.

The woods were dark at night, the leaves obscured the stars and the moon, and only the light of the campfire shook in the forest.

Two mountain rabbits were roasted on the campfire, and their fur had been stripped away, and the heat looked almost there. The skin is shiny with oil, the fragrance spreads in the forest, there is a bonfire reason, and there is no fear of any beast approaching. Even if he came over, Gu Nan didn't worry about this.
