I don't know if I'm asleep, I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's just a few breaths, Xu Shuo heard Baozi calling him.

"Hey, Brother Xu, the bun is ready, get up and eat one while it's hot!"

Xu Shuo tried hard to open his eyes, his head was blank, although he took a break, but this very short period of sleep was more sleepy than not sleeping, he rubbed his eyes, took the bun handed by the bun, stuffed it into his mouth, and then turned his head to see if Lilian next to him was awake.

Lilian just opened her eyes at this time, and saw Xu Shuo looking at her with a bun in her mouth, and laughed with a snort.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, what are you doing?"

Xu Shuo shook his head, ripped off the bun and took a bite.

"Well, the stuffing is meaty, the juice is enough, and it's hot and delicious, Lilian, you can taste it too."

Xiao Tian handed Lilian a bun at the right time, Lilian ate Xiang Sven, took two bites before eating the filling, and after chewing it, she nodded.

"It's delicious."

"It's delicious, the buns in this shop are up to the mark!" Baozi said proudly.

Hearing the compliment, the shopkeeper smiled, patted his chest and said proudly: "That's it, our family's stuffing uses an ancestral recipe, and only our family can make this taste in the whole River City." ”

Toshio stood outside the store, staring solemnly at the sky, and after a moment, he turned around.

"It's snowing, it's time for us to go."

After Lilien had paid, the group walked in the direction of the city gate with a large pile of supplies and a basket of steaming buns.

The leader of the gate was still the captain with thick eyebrows, and somehow, when Xu Shuo and the others saw him, his expression looked like he was about to cry, and when he saw Junxiong, he waved his hand and let him go, without saying anything.

Walking out of the city gate, Xu Shuo saw more than a dozen villagers who had been waiting outside the city gate, beside them, with the supplies sent out of the city gate in advance.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Shuo noticed that these dozen or so people were all imps who had robbed them with Junxiong that day.

When the imps saw that Junxiong had brought a basket of steamed buns, they cheered and gathered around to snatch the buns.

"One person can only take one, not more." Toshio said.

The buns were already a little cold at this time, but the imps didn't mind, and some people had to lick their fingers after gobbling it up.

The winter night falls early, and by the time all the imps have eaten the buns and are about to leave for the village, it is already completely dark.

The imps put heavy heavy bedding and cotton clothes on their heads, and used their heads to support these goods, which were vital to the village. They moved forward step by step, like rows of ants, in front of them was the dark forest, behind them was the brightly lit river city, but no one slowed down because of the darkness, I wonder if it was because they knew that in the depths of the forest, in that little thief village, there was a light that belonged to them.

Or are they supposed to be people who live in darkness?

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the snow that had not melted the night before had become deeper and deeper, and the snow did not reach their ankles with every step they took.

Xu Shuo walked at the end of the line, the shoes on his feet were still the casual and breathable ones he wore when he first arrived in another world, and the soles of his feet were cold and numb when he stepped on the snow.

He couldn't help but think of the first night he spent in his 450-yuan self-built rental house when he was 18 years old, just after moving out of his uncle's house. At that time, he had just started working part-time, he was penniless, the landlord did not package furniture, the rental house was empty, there was no bed and I was not under the quilt, he spread his change of clothes on the ground as a mattress, and his feet were so cold that he couldn't sleep.

Looking back, although it was a hard time, he didn't feel difficult at that time, because a new life was just around the corner, and he knew that all this would change, and one day he would have his own warm bed, so he always had hope.

But what about the children who were ahead of him? Xu Shuo looked down, the children were wearing hand-woven straw sandals, in such a winter, they were just wrapping two layers of cloth on their feet, and they didn't necessarily have any warmth function, presumably their feet were very cold, and what did they think?

Do they still yearn for a better life in their hearts, or are they used to this kind of life, not only their feet, but also their hearts are cold and numb?

Xu Shuo spit out the white mist, looked up at the cold stars, and couldn't help but feel that winter was so cruel and the cold wind was not close to people.

After more than two hours of hiking, they finally returned to the village.

As soon as Baozi entered the village, he opened his throat and shouted.

"Buns——! We bought buns! Come out and eat! Everyone has a share, delicious minced meat buns! ”

The children who were cooking the fire in the house flocked out and surrounded the buns.

"Where, where? Where's the bun? ”

"Give me one!"

"Really, you didn't lie to us, did you?"

Baozi picked up the basket containing the buns, picked up a bun, and said to the children in a big brother manner: "If you want to eat steamed buns, line up one by one, only one for each person, and don't take it again if you have already eaten!" ”

The children are pushing and squeezing in a row in the snow, waiting to receive the buns.

At this time, Rina pushed Bai Yu out of the house.

"Buns, send them to the house, don't send them outside." Bai Yu said.

"Okay~" Baozi picked up the basket and shouted, "Little ones, follow me into the house!" Then he swaggered into the house.

It seems that he really thinks of himself as the boss.

Toshio commands his fellow imps to move all the supplies they bring from the city to an unused house.

Bai Yu glanced at the large number of supplies, and looked a little surprised, he came to Xu Shuo in a wheelchair.

"Did you buy all of this?" Bai Yu asked.

Xu Shuo shrugged.

"Some of them bought it, and some of it was bought by Lilian, but I didn't make much of it."

"Junxiong, what money they have, most of them must be bought by you." Bai Yu looked at Lilian and bowed deeply in his wheelchair, "Thank you, Miss Lilian, please forgive us for accepting your assistance so unceremoniously, although it is a little cheeky, but these things really saved the life of the village." ”

Lilian hurriedly waved her hand embarrassedly, "No, no, I just bought some clothes, everything else is ......"

"Oooh-ah——!-ah-ahh

Before Lilian finished speaking, she saw Junxiong screaming and rushing over, and a runner jumped four or five meters away and landed between Bai Yu and Lilian, and then stretched out his hand to point at Xu Shuo and said, "The others were bought by Xu Shuo!" What nice people they are! ”

Xu Shuo glanced at him, he didn't plan to continue to help this guy hide it, and was going to tell Bai Yu about this guy's blocking the road and robbing and fighting black boxing in the city.

"Bai Yu, you shouldn't know, this guy ......"

"Ahhhh I suddenly remembered an important thing, Xu Shuo, come over to me! ”

Junxiong hooked Xu Shuo's neck, half-pulled and half-pulled Xu Shuo into the woods, and didn't forget to give Liliam a warning look before leaving.

If Xu Shuo wanted to, it would be impossible for Junxiong to move him, but he also had something to say to Junxiong, so he didn't resist.

After the two of them walked about a few hundred meters towards a certain part of the forest, Xu Shuo stopped.

"It's almost okay, do you want to take me on a trip abroad to go so far."

Junxiong also stopped when he heard this, he looked at Xu Shuo, his expression was no longer the same as before, his face was serious, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Xu Shuo, let's solve the problem in a man's way." ”

"The way of men?"

"Let's go heads-up."

“…… Are you sure? ”

"If I win, you can't tell Bai Yu what I and Baozi are doing."

"Oh."

Xu Shuo nodded slowly, crossed his arms, and then asked again, just in case.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?"
