The girl was a little frightened, and her small arms with the thickness of wooden sticks were trembling slightly, but her little hands were very strong, for fear that I would slip away if I was not careful.

"Uncle, you can take me, I don't eat much, I can work for you, wash clothes, and cook." The girl begged.

"No, I don't."

I pulled out my leg vigorously and said to the little girl who was sitting on the ground, "I warn you not to follow me, I will kill you if I break my big thing." ”

The little girl was scared and cried, and I ignored it and left ruthlessly, hoping that she would not understand how much better or worse it would be for her parents to follow me or not.

I don't know how long I walked, but the hunger in my stomach became stronger and stronger, especially when I passed by the noodle shop steamed bun shop, I could barely take a step, and it seemed that I could smell it and feel a kind of happiness.

"Uncle, are you hungry?"

I turned my head and the little girl stood there with tears in her eyes, I don't know how long it had been with me, I was a little angry: "It's not that I won't let you follow me, why are you so disobedient?" ”

The little girl flashed with tears in her eyes and said, "But I am already your person, where can I go if you don't let me follow you?" ”

I don't know who told her about this theory, but to prove that I didn't have a penny, I turned all my pockets out, smiled wryly and said, "See? You can't eat as much as you do with me. ”

The little girl pouted and swore to the weak and stubborn heart at that moment, "I didn't follow you to give you food, I just want to repay your kindness to our family!" I can work, I can make money, and I can take care of you! How can you think of me like that? ”

"Yo, then I'll tell you that I don't need you to repay you, you just need to go home honestly! You also told your dad what you just said, didn't your dad sell you anymore? I gave her a blank look.

"You wait for me for a while, I promise to let you eat the big white steamed bun there within half a pillar of incense." The girl didn't pay any attention to me.

"Okay, what if I can't eat it?" With that, I found a stone and sat down.

"If you can't eat, I won't follow you."

The girl walked a little further, found a place where she could see me, knelt on the ground, and began to beg for food.

Her thin figure was particularly winkling in the crowd, especially the extremely ill-fitting dress that made her figure even more slender.

At her age, she should have studied in the academy, but the old class aristocracy imprisoned the cultural wealth that should belong to the people, resulting in the thousand-year-old Chinese civilization eventually lagging behind the West.

So I hate the old feudal society so much that I don't watch many costume dramas until now, I just think that the ones I play are just some scumbags who think of themselves as high!

But I can't pity her, I want her to know that she is not happy with me, I want her to think that I am a bad person, and let her leave me naturally.

After a while, the kind-hearted people in cloth threw a copper plate to the girl, and the girl shook it in her hand and shook it at me to show off, and walked over happily with the two steamed buns she bought: "Uncle, you eat." ”

I took a steamed bun from her hand with a cold face, threw my arm to the ground, and shouted: "Eat, eat, eat, eat?" Do you think I'm going to eat your food? I am the dignified Holy Monarch, the young master of the Killing Sect, so you are embarrassed for me here? ”

The girl hurriedly picked it up and blew the soil on it, hugged it tightly in her arms and said, "Uncle, I know it's wrong, but I've completed the task, can you fulfill your promise?" ”

I looked at it: "What promise?" Didn't I buy you? I'll let you out now! ”

After saying that, I wrapped my big sleeves around my arms, swaggered away with my hands behind my back, and let the people next to me point fingers at me and whisper small words.

Behind me was the heart-rending cry of the little girl, which spread far away, and I hid in a hutong to observe her from afar, lest she be poisoned by human traffickers.

But until it was getting darker and darker, the little girl's crying did not stop, her vocal cords were hoarse, and she was a little out of breath intermittently. And the people who persuaded her before also slowly dispersed, and there was no such bad guy with bad intentions to hit the little girl's attention.

I wanted to leave, because the little girl had already delayed me too much, but the condemnation in my heart made me turn back and ask, "Why don't you go home?" ”

The little girl wiped her tears, choked up and said, "My grandmother has been reluctant to eat for a long time, and I don't want her to save me food anymore." ”

I said, "You can go out and beg so that your grandmother won't have something to eat?" ”

"But the people in the neighborhood are in a similar situation to our family, and if I go out to ask for food, their family will eat less, and we won't do such a thing." The little girl said aggrievedly.

I was moved by this kind of righteous words for the sake of others, and I also firmly believed that our nation was a friendly and united people at the beginning. He accentuated his tone and said, "Then you go a little farther away." ”

"It's like this in the capital, do you think the people in other places can live better?" The little girl said.

"What's wrong? Famine? I asked.

The little girl shook her head, and she told me that the peasants were not rich in the first place, and now the Qin Emperor needs a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the Great Wall and the Afang Palace. In particular, the construction of the wall requires the use of glutinous rice juice to make the food more scarce, so the price of rice and noodles has risen by leaps and bounds and has not declined at all, even if the imperial court has been increasing taxes to make up for the large expenses of the imperial court, and the people's lives have been miserable.

I fell into deep thought, and the little girl held up another clean steamed bun in her hand to me and said, "Uncle, we actually don't bother to eat this kind of thing, but aren't we desperate today?" Just take a bite, you've been listening to your stomach rumbling for almost a day. ”

I smiled at her, snatched the dirty steamed bun from her other hand, and gnawed the steamed bun in my stomach with dust and sand one by one.

The little girl pulled my arm and said, "So dirty, uncle, aren't you a saint?" How is this what you eat? ”

I swallowed the last bite, my stomach felt better, and I smiled and said, "Why isn't it what I ate?" That's why I eat this kind of thing because I'm a holy king, so that I can appreciate what the lowest people need most. ”

"You really are a saint! I thought you had been killed by the First Emperor! ”

The little girl grinned too, and then I realized that she had an extra big buck tooth, and the skin of her mouth hung on it with a smile.

I asked her a little confused what had happened this year. The little girl told me that because of this year's confusion, Lingnan fell into a big meteorite. Therefore, there were rumors that there would be a holy monarch who would overthrow the Qin king's regime in the future, and the Qin emperor was angry and ordered all the people within a radius of ten miles from the meteorite to be killed, leaving only a children's song to be sung among the people.
