Lu Yue wanted to open her eyes in a daze, but her eyelids were too heavy to open them at all, and she fell asleep again after trying many times. Vaguely, he felt something flow down his lips, and it felt a little hot. When he was finally able to open his eyes, he was greeted by a ruined roof, and his hand grabbed forward with all his might, but what he caught was dead grass. Looking at the dilapidated roof, Lu Yue turned his head slowly, only to see several ragged people sitting not far away, all of them looking at a broken pot with boiling water. It seemed that Lu Yuexian felt that he was back in the broken temple, and several homeless people wanted to cook him. He sat up suddenly and shouted, "Don't eat me...... Please......" he said, leaning back, trying to get away from them as best he could, but there was a thick wall behind him, and he couldn't shrink back any longer.

The few people sitting there were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed. I only heard one of them say: "Old man Li, look at this little thing, you actually think that we are going to eat him, haha......"

There was only one old man in the room, and the others were relatively young. I only heard the old man say: "Wang Dazi, do you think this sentence is very funny? This world is really getting more and more chaotic, it seems that this child has encountered similar things." When the old man heard this, he smiled innocently, and then showed his yellow teeth, and said to Lu Yuexi: "Little thing, we won't eat you, don't worry, rest assured!"

Looking at the big man's terrifying yellow teeth, Lu Yuexian became even more frightened. Out of instinct, Lu Yuexian kept grasping what he could grasp into his arms.

The old man clearly saw the fear in Lu Yuexian's heart, only to see him stand up, kick the big man with his foot, and say, "You go outside first, you don't frighten the child like this." After the big man went out, the old man turned to Lu Yue and said, "Child, we don't eat people, only wild beasts eat people, we are people, people don't eat people." ”

Lu Yuexian didn't believe what the old man said, so he retorted: "You lied to people, then why did they eat my ...... before", his hands seemed to be unable to grasp anything, so his hands hugged him tightly again.

"And so it is, what a wreck...... This world!" the old man couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard Lu Yuexian say that. I only heard the old man continue: "They are all beasts, they are not human beings at all, children, we don't eat people, because we are all human beings." ”

"Really?" Lu Yuexian asked in disbelief when he heard the old man say this.

"Really, of course it's true. Otherwise, how would you still be here? The old man took a broken bowl from the ground, and from the boiling pot there was something mush, like porridge, but not porridge.

When Lu Yuexian heard the old man say this, she thought that he was right, if they wanted to eat him, they would have eaten him a long time ago, and they would not wait for him to wake up. But when I heard that, I couldn't help but wonder, "Why am I here?"

The old man did not rush to answer Lu Yuexian's question, but walked over with the broken bowl and said, "Child, that day we saw you sitting alone at the mouth of the alley motionless, and a few of us went over to see what was going on with you, but we found that you were already unconscious. So I carried you here. The old man handed the bowl to Lu Yuexian and continued: "Child, eat it hot, you have been in a coma for six days, and you still have a high fever. We were all about to give up, but we didn't expect you to survive. Like us beggars, the last thing we can get is to get sick, and when we get sick, we have no money to see a doctor, so we can only rely on ourselves to stand up. If you survive, you may be fine, but you can't survive, but it's nothing, it's just a relief. ”

Lu Yue looked at the old man suspiciously, and when he was sure that the bowl was really for himself, he immediately took the bowl in the old man's hand and swallowed it heavily. It felt a little hot, but it was very comfortable.

The old man looked at Lu Yue's gobbling up, and said with a smile: "Slow down, although we don't cook a lot, we also have your share." If it's not enough, we're going out to ask for it. "Since you can eat like that, at least it shows that Lu Yuexian is indeed about the same.

"Old man Li, I can come in, what's the matter, I can't enter my own nest. At this time, the big man outside suddenly shouted.

"Come in! stop scaring the kid. The old man yelled outside.

"I know, I said Old Man Li, we also want so many steamed buns today, we mixed water to cook this pot of porridge, it seems to be too much!" Wang Da is a straightforward person, and after coming in, he saw that the old man served another bowl for Lu Yue, and he couldn't help but say something.

"Don't worry, I'll give him my share. The old man was a little dissatisfied.

"Well, I'm just talking! It's a big deal that I'll be beaten up by them again and get something to eat. The big man seemed to be very afraid of the old man, and when he saw the old man say that, he immediately changed his words.

At this time, Lu Yuexian also saw something, and after eating a little more, she said to the old man: "Grandpa, thank you, I'm full." Then he handed the old beggar what was left of the bowl back.

The old beggar did not take the bowl, but said, "Eat more, child, for you are now growing up." With his experience, how could he not see what Lu Yue was thinking.

"I'm really full, old man, you eat!" Lu Yuexian said a little stubbornly.

Seeing Lu Yuexian like this, the old man no longer insisted on it, touched Lu Yuexian's head with his hand, and sighed: "What a good boy, good boy! But why should a child like you have to suffer like this......

The few beggars sitting next to him didn't speak, they just watched it all in silence. At their point, they have become numb to many things. They didn't ask why they had fallen into the country, because there was no point in asking why. In addition to caring about what they eat, they may occasionally care about other things, such as the day when they saw Lu Yuexian huddled alone at the mouth of that alley, and couldn't help but carry him back to this broken house. Sometimes they were strange, but in the end they came to the conclusion that they were still human beings, and that human nature compelled them to sympathize with someone who was going through the same situation as them, and that this person was still a five-year-old child. Because of this, when the old beggar planned to save the child and feed the unconscious Lu Yuexian, they did not stop it, and even occasionally took out a little bit of their food and gave it to Lu Yuexian to eat.

It's just that today is a bit special, because all of them went out early to beg, but they didn't get enough food. When they returned to the broken house, everyone decided to boil the few steamed buns they got into porridge. In this way, everyone will be able to eat a certain amount of food.

Among these people, the old beggar does have a special identity. The old beggar was the only one in the group who knew a little bit of medicine. After these people became beggars because of the war, they all lived ill, and the treatment of this disease depended on the old beggar, although some died, but the people who came back were somewhat grateful to the old beggar. They are also more willing to obey the old beggar's orders for some kind of need, such as the big beggar. He's not really a beggar, he's a bit of a bandit. The reason why it is not in the stream is that the real robbers in this world generally rob property, and in the process, they will also kill the object of the robbery. But he is not like this, he only grabs food, and after grabbing the food, he either immediately stuffs it into his mouth, or he insists on it, but lets the people around him beat and scold, when those people are tired of scolding and comfortable beating, they will naturally leave, and he also gets the food he wants. However, sometimes there will be more ruthless people, after he grabs the food, he will not only spit out the food he stuffed into his mouth, but also spit out a few mouthfuls of blood at the end. Therefore, this big man is often a person who asks for an old beggar, and it is natural that he has a certain fear of him. However, after the big man vomited blood many times, he also discovered a rule, anyone who was extremely richly dressed must not rob them of their food, because it was likely to kill them, and they were often the ones who beat them the hardest, after all, they had a large group of slaves. And the less flamboyant ones can generally snatch food from them, because although they will also beat him, they will not be too ruthless, and will always let him go after he has vented his anger. As for those who are dressed plainly and are full of patches, he will not rob them, but the reason is simple, that is, there is nothing to rob. According to this law, the big man was able to survive all the time without dying. But even so, every time the old beggar treated him, he would persuade him to beg with peace of mind, and wake him up that one day he would die because of it. But everyone has their own way of survival, and when the big man Wang is healing his injuries, he always keeps saying "yes! yes!" but he is still the same.

The old man took the broken bowl handed over by Lu Yuexian, and saw that there was still a lot of slimy paste in the bowl, and after helping Lu Yuexian to fall asleep again, the old beggar sat back again.

"Old man Li, what should we do in the future, it is difficult for us people to support ourselves, do we have to take this child with us now?" said a thin man among the other few people who had not spoken all this time.

"He's right, if we take this child, we don't have enough food at all. If it's temporary, we can still endure it, but Old Man Li, if we leave him behind, we can't afford it at all. Another man said.

Then several others said similar things one after another. Old man Li frowned, looked at Lu Yuexian, who was already asleep, his heart was inexplicably sour, as if he had made a major decision, and said firmly: "This child is very pitiful, if you want to let him go, I can't do it." ”
