Two days later, a ragged, unkempt little beggar appeared in a town called Sanxi.

This little beggar is the green branch.

She asked for directions while heading towards Shang Cheng City, because the place she had been taken by Chen Zhuo before was almost to the cold mountain where Zhou Jing was, so she could only walk in reverse.

After two days of walking, I walked less than sixty miles.

The town of Sansi is larger than the average town, with a few decent alleys.

In the past two days, she only found a farmhouse in the evening of the first day without locking the door, and the side house where the grain was stored was not locked, so she only cooked some rice to eat.

On the second day, I didn't find a place to eat all day.

The reason why it was so difficult to find a place to eat was because in order to avoid Chen Zhuo, she chose to take a remote mountain road, and there were almost no people on the side of the remote mountain road.

When she came to Sancy, she wanted to find something to eat in this sparsely populated town.

Thinking about what she was wearing now, she thought that she could be a real beggar and see if she could find someone to give her something like a steamed bun or a bun.

She felt that if she didn't eat, she would starve to death.

When she came to an east-west street in the town, she saw a steamed bun stall owned by a tall old man with a white beard and a slight fortune.

He was putting the burnt steamed buns in the basket.

She walked to the steamed bun stall and said to the old man who sold steamed buns: "Old man, the steamed buns you make are so beautiful." As she spoke, she swallowed.

The fragrance of steamed buns rushed straight into her nose, and she had never smelled such fragrant steamed buns before.

Maybe it's because she's so hungry right now.

The old man glanced at her, saw that her clothes were dirty, and said, "Let's go, don't make trouble here." ”

"I don't mess around, I ...... I just want to eat you a steamed bun. ”

The old man said, "I can see it." That's why I told you to go quickly, I don't give charity here. There are so many homeless people now that they can't give alms! ”

These days, he is on the left and right, and the steamed buns are still inadvertently a lot less, which makes him worried.

There are always people who steal one or two when they sell steamed buns to others, and there are people who take advantage of his inattention to take one or two more when they are not paying attention, one or two per person, and there are many people.

Although he could see that the young man in front of him was hungry at first glance, he would not help him.

It's not that he's ruthless, it's that he really can't help it.

Therefore, he saw Qingzhi's eyes staring at the steamed buns, but he didn't leave, so he picked up a water scoop used to scoop water when making steamed buns, raised the water scoop and said to Qingzhi: "Are you leaving?" If you don't leave, you're going to be scooped! ”

Qingzhi had no choice but to say, "I'll go, I'll go." ”

She can't rob it.

However, every step forward is extremely difficult.

She felt that she was so hungry that she had no strength at all, and she couldn't even straighten her waist.

If he escaped from Chen Zhuo and starved to death on the way, he would have fled in vain.

If she can't do it, she has to find another way.

I was staggering forward hungry, and I saw an inn with an open door not far ahead, which should be one of the few inns with the door still open.

A place like an inn is something she doesn't dare to count on.

And it seems that this inn is quite antique and decent, so she doesn't dare to count on it.

When she came to one of the windows of the inn, she looked out of the window, and saw several people sitting around the tables eating, and when she was so hungry that she suddenly saw such a thing as food, she felt even more hungry.

Moreover, she also saw the white buns on the table.

Through the window, she could also smell the smell of food wafting from the inn.

Forget it, you can't stay here longer, the longer you stay, the more hungry you get, so let's keep going.

As she walked forward step by step, she suddenly heard the sound of horses behind her, as if there were many people walking.

She looked behind her, and there were a dozen or so farmers on horseback leading many farmers walking in this direction.

The dozen or so farmers on their horses looked lean and lean, but at first glance they were men of good shape.

Looking at the farmers behind them, although they are dressed in rags, they are mainly young people, and occasionally you can see a few middle-aged people.

The figures of these people are the same as those riding horses in front, they are all lean and lean, and they look like people who have been crawling all year round.

She muttered to herself, who are these people?

Seeing that the team was black and overwhelming, and the number of people was at least tens of thousands, she thought, could this be where the peasants are planning to revolt?

However, how could the peasants who had just revolted look like Lianjiazi?

Her mind suddenly flashed to the descendants of Nie Xiao that she had seen in the mountain basin near Mingyue Mountain.

The direction in which these people traveled was to the east, so it was probably to the cold mountain.

Of course, this was just a momentary guess on her part.

As for whether these people were those bandits, she was not sure.

Just as she was about to pass by the door of the inn, she saw that many of the guests who had eaten in the inn had gone out, and stood by the door of the inn, looking down into the street at the people dressed as peasants passing by.

She glanced into the inn and saw that it was empty, and there was no one.

It seems that even the shopkeeper has come out to see these passing soldiers.

Looking at the empty hall on the first floor of the inn, she swallowed the food on the table before.

Without much thought, she walked to the inn.

She just wanted to go in and grab a bun from a random table and leave, just a bun.

Maybe a bun can keep her alive.

Once inside, she came to a round dining table near the window.

Afraid of being seen by the guest officers and shopkeepers standing outside the door, she squatted down, and then reached for the table.

Just then, she saw what appeared to be two people walking in. She was under the table, and when she saw someone coming in, she pretended she was looking for something on the floor.

Then maybe the person who comes in will think that he is also a diner.

Moreover, since she came in, didn't she come in for nothing if she didn't steal a bun?

She just wanted the person who came in wasn't a guest at the table she was going to steal.

She had just reached a bun with her hand when she suddenly felt someone clamp her hand with chopsticks.

She felt that she was too unlucky, and the two people who came happened to be the table she was going to steal.

However, since the bun is already in her hand, she will never put it down.

She bent over with the bun and ran.

I didn't even glance at who was on the table.

When he ran out of the door, the shopkeeper in the store also happened to be walking in, and he looked at Qingzhi and shouted, "Who are you?" Thief? ”

Qingzhi ran forward without looking back, leaving a sentence floating in the air: "I only stole one bun!" ”

She didn't believe that the shopkeeper would chase after her because of a bun. Except that he was idle and had nothing to do.

Wu Shu, who was sitting at the table, asked at this time, "Master Lu, did you hear Dr. Kong's voice just now?" ”

When he looked at Lu Gongzi, he knew that he must have heard it too, because he had already stood up at this time.

The person who caught the thief's hand just now was Lu Shikang.
