"Mother!"
In front of the humble shed in a corner of the meat circle, the giant man was extremely happy to carry a sack of dough, his mouth was wide open, and two huge canine teeth came out of his mouth, and the smile that should have been happy looked a little beast-like hideous, and his huge voice shook the dust on the roof of the nearby humble shed and fell down.

In the stinking shed, only the ugly shed in front of the giant man was spotless, from the two feet in front of the wooden door, which formed a stark contrast to the surrounding filth.
After a brief silence, the wooden door creaked open, and first a wooden stick poked out, slightly thick at the top, supporting a wrinkled, dry palm, but it was a walking stick. Then, an elderly woman walked out tremblingly, hunched over and looking like she was not tall enough to reach the waist and hips of a giant man, and on her wrinkled face, her facial features were a little unclear, and her two cloudy yellow and white eyes trembled a few times before she stopped at the huge figure in front of her.
"Little Kim?" the woman's voice was hoarse and a little puzzled.
The giant man grinned and nodded desperately, with a great amplitude, for fear that the woman would not be able to see his movements clearly, and then pulled open the sack in his hand and said, "Mother!
The woman looked into the sack suspiciously, and finally saw that it was full of dough, and she was stunned, and then she looked up at the giant man helplessly and with relief.
"Xiao Jin is really capable...... Tell my mother, where did all this dough come from?"
The giant man grinned, and his huge body suddenly took two steps to the side: "Food, them!"
Only then did the woman see that there were several other figures standing behind the giant man, and although they looked a little like her eyes, she could still recognize that these people were not very old, and they had an unusual temperament.
She hurriedly took two steps forward, as if she wanted to say thanks, but she was a little stumbling because of the inconvenience of her legs.
Qiao Ximing immediately walked out from behind the giant man and supported the old woman with the giant man, bent down slightly and said softly: "Old lady, we are just the sergeants in charge of distributing food, you don't care too much." ”
However, the old woman was still trembling and wanted to kneel, and Qiao Ximing was stunned for a moment before realizing that the old woman was afraid that she didn't hear what he said clearly.
Fortunately, the giant man opened his mouth beside him.
"Mother, they, Qin Du!"
It seemed that in the ears of the old woman, the voice of the giant man was the normal volume, so he stopped his movements in the sound that seemed to be a loud roar, and looked at Qiao Ximing after being stunned: "Are you the sergeants from Qin Du Town?"
Qiao Ximing glanced at the big man, then nodded and admitted his identity.
The old woman's expression suddenly became excited: "It turns out that it is a good person from Qin Du Town! The old man heard in the past that there is a great good person in Qin Du Town who is very friendly to us inferior people, and he was still suspicious of this matter, but today he realized that a good person really exists! Blessing, blessing!"
Du Tianwen, who had been standing behind him silently, suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.
The good people of Qin Du Town are particularly friendly to the lower people, and the people referred to by this statement are other than Du Tianwen, who distributes food in the meat circle outside Qin Du Town all the year round. But what made Du Tianwen a little unexpected was that what he did in Qin Du Town would also be known by the people in Qin Town's meat circle, which really made him curious about how this kind of news was transmitted.
"Xiao Jin, have you thanked these good people!?" The old woman turned her head, and the crutch in her hand poked the giant man's calf, but because the giant man's stature was so tall, when the crutch touched him, it was as small as a tickling branch.
Seeing that the giant man was about to pounce on the ground and kneel under the order of the old woman, Qiao Ximing hurriedly stopped his movements.
"Madame, Fang Jin has already thanked us, don't worry!"
This time, Qiao Ximing raised his voice, which made the old woman hear his words clearly, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, but then, the old woman's actions made Qiao Ximing and the others stunned.
"Xiao Jin is back with food again, everyone come and share it!"
The old woman's crutches tapped softly on the ground, and a hoarse voice echoed through the nearby shack.
Hearing the old woman's call, the low-level people nearby leaned out one after another, some of them seemed to be extremely familiar with the old woman, and soon dragged their shriveled stomachs over, while some hesitated for a while, some followed and surrounded them, and some chose to retreat because of the existence of Qiao Ximing and others, trying to watch the changes temporarily.
"Come, everyone take some away, our Xiaojin is getting more and more capable!"
The old woman did not hesitate to distribute the dough in the sack to the other inferior people, and her expression was not only not reluctant, but extremely happy, which made Du Tianwen and the others amazed.
Inferior people sometimes value food more than life, and if someone tries to fight for it, then it is very likely that they will face desperate resistance from the owner of the food. But although this old woman lives in the meat circle, she doesn't seem to have this attitude at all, but so casually distributes the food brought back by the giant man to other low-level people, this kind of behavior is really unusual.
On the contrary, the expression of the giant man is more in line with the appearance of an inferior person in the eyes of everyone.
His huge eyes stared at the dough that was disappearing from the sack, and the blood was constantly accumulating, making his appearance so hideous that it seemed to devour the people who had taken the dough alive, so that many of the inferior people cowered and did not dare to look at him, and immediately fled away from his vicinity after taking the dough.
However, under the occasional tapping of the old woman's crutches, Fangjin always stood in place, without any radical movements.
After a while, the dough had already scattered to the bottom of the sack, but the old woman was very satisfied with the rest of the dough, turned around and patted the waist ribs of Fangjin, and said with a kind smile: "Thank you Xiaojin, my mother is very happy." ”
Hearing the old woman's words, Fang Jin seemed to be very happy, but when he saw the sack that was almost empty, his expression suddenly withered again, and the expression on his face continued to switch between the two conflicting emotions, and finally turned into a feeling of suffocation like constipation.
"Food, mother's food!"
Syllable!
The old woman's crutches hit the golden arm, and the force was very light, but he seemed to be startled, and squatted down beside the old woman with his arms in his arms.
"Xiaojin, my mother has told you many times, every time you bring back a lot of food, my mother can't eat it alone, so it's better to share it with other people, so that more people can fill their stomachs, instead of starving. Finally, do something that the god of abandonment can't tolerate. ”
As she spoke, she looked sideways in a certain direction and let out a sigh.
As if sensing the old woman's emotional changes, Fang Jin's face suddenly surged with anger, and he shouted loudly: "Eat people! Bad people! Fang Jin doesn't like it!" The shout fell, and Fang Jin was about to stride in the direction where the old woman was looking, and that was the direction of the bloody smell that Qiao Ximing asked them about.
However, the old woman stopped the gold.
"Little Kim!" the cane struck his subordinate hastily on the huge back. Finally let Fang Jin stop in place: "Don't blame them, they are all poor people, otherwise they won't eat ......"
After a pause, the old woman suddenly remembered the existence of Qiao Ximing and the others, and her face became panicked again.
"Sir, please don't blame those people, they are so hungry that they would never have eaten...... Corpses!"
When the last word was spoken, Du Tianwen and the others' faces darkened.
Sure enough, those who didn't show up were ......
The old woman continued to chatter: "The taste of hunger is very difficult, Xiao Jin didn't eat for three or four days, you must still remember that taste, right?
Fangjin suddenly swallowed his saliva, and his huge head shook in an instant.
Seeing such a giant man with a frightened look, Du Tianwen and the others couldn't understand what the old woman said about what it was like to be hungry, only Qiao Ximing's eyelids shook, revealing a few inexplicable glances.
Do you feel hungry......
"Sergeant, don't worry, our family Xiaojin will never do this kind of thing, the old man has been teaching him to be kind to others for decades, don't look at the height and body that is thicker than others, but in fact, his heart is very soft...... "It seems that Qiao Ximing and others will treat the giant man Fang Jin as a person like those missing inferior people, the old woman is holding a cane in her right hand, and her wrinkled left hand grabbed Qiao Ximing's sleeve and kept chattering.
Qiao Ximing smiled, did not push the old woman away, but listened to the old woman's words very patiently, and then replied: "What the old lady said is that Fang Jin is a kind-hearted person at first glance, and the people in this area must be blessed by him, and his complexion is much better than that of other places." ”
The old woman suddenly burst into laughter, and the giant man Fang Jin also laughed, rubbing his big hands hard on his buttocks, looking excited.
"Xiao Jin, this sergeant is praising you, don't you hurry up and thank you!"
was poked twice by a cane, and then Fang Jin grinned and approached Qiao Ximing, stretched out his hand, and patted Qiao Ximing's shoulder directly, making a thumping sound.
"You, good man!
The majesty of the giant palm falling on his shoulder made others feel shocked, but Qiao Ximing endured it safely, as if the person who patted him on the shoulder was just an ordinary person, and replied with a smile: "You are also a good person!"
"Haha!"
Fangjin looked up and laughed a few times, and suddenly stooped down into the old woman's hut, and after making a noise inside, he came out again with a bag of things.
"Good people, food, here you go!"
Qiao Ximing looked down at the burden that Fangjin stuffed into his arms, although he hadn't opened it, he had already smelled a sweet smell of dim sum, and the grade was not low, even if it wasn't a product of Xuanwu City's Guili Pavilion, it was at least from Qinzhen's first-class dim sum shop.
This grade of dim sum appeared in a humble shed in the meat circle.
His eyes flashed slightly, but Qiao Ximing did not ask about this strange suspicion, but thanked him and accepted the heart of the giant man Fangjin with a smile.
"Granny, I still have to take on military affairs, so I won't continue to bother you with your old age. ”
Carrying the baggage, Qiao Ximing suddenly stopped staying, said goodbye to the old woman and the giant man, and left this humble shed area under their farewell eyes.
After returning to the queue for distributing food, Qiao Ximing looked back at the direction where the old woman was again, and then looked at the burden in his hand, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
Perhaps, we will see you soon......
