In the city of Changsha, in a corner of the slums.

The smell of sewage and filth wafted from all around, making it even more pungent in the dark and narrow alleys, where most of the houses were dilapidated, and there were even many undignified corpses gnawed by wild dogs.

There are many homeless people and beggars living in it, who will rummage through the garbage heaps every day, or pick up wild vegetables, tree bark, and insects to satisfy their hunger and survive in this year of great disaster.

It's not that they don't want to work, it's just that many of the people here have lost some of their body organs, some walk on one leg, some have empty sleeves, and even worse, there are only rough scars left in the eye sockets, and this scar passes directly through the corner of the eye, as if a piece has been forcibly stripped off by something......

Begging to sustain one's own life has become commonplace among these homeless people and beggars, and it is not worth making a fuss about.

Xiao Que carried a wooden barrel full of food and walked out slowly, looking at the endless ruins and endless darkness outside, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

I don't know if they haven't eaten for a few days, so they should be able to hold on.

Thinking of this, Xiao Que couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, hating that he hadn't brought food earlier.

At this moment, two old men in shabby clothes were crawling out of the pile of filth, their cloudy eyes shining in the darkness, and their lips trembling slightly, showing that they were very excited at the moment.

"Oh, who kind man is this? ＂

"Thank you, thank you. ＂

When the two of them saw the wooden barrel full of food, their eyes were full of greed, and they quickly knelt down in front of Xiao Que, shouting words of thanks in their mouths, their eyes were moist, and their faces were constantly twitching, showing their excitement and excitement.

Xiao Que hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the food in the barrel was still satisfied, he poured out some food.

The leftovers made a gurgling sound on the ground and exuded a strange smell, but for the two old men who had been hungry for a long time, it was like elixir and jade dew, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Uh..... Grunt....... ＂

The sound of a rolling throat came, and a trembling hand finally reached for the food on the ground, and the two of them carefully picked it up, as if it were the most precious of treasures.

"Hurry up and eat, and go back to rest early after eating. ＂

Xiao Que said.

After hearing Xiao Que's words, the two immediately chewed in large gulps.

"Woooooooo Whining..... ＂

As they chewed, the two old men choked up, their faces covered with tears, and their weeping voices were so clear in the quiet of the night that their screams echoed through the broken streets.

They eat very ugly, but for the hungry beggars, eating, this is the happiest thing, this is the only pillar of their life, even if death comes, they are not willing to give up.

Xiao Que sighed and shook his head.

There was a complicated look in his eyes, but it was quickly obscured, and he turned away.

He used to be one of these beggars, perhaps because he became Wei Ming's servant, that he was qualified to look down on others from above.

Thinking about it, his pace quickened a few more points.

After a short time, he came to a dilapidated house, and when he looked up, he saw that the door was closed, and the windows were covered by thick wooden boards, so that he could not see the inside clearly.

Xiao Que stood at the door and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.

"Bang, bang—bang——! ＂

One short and two long codes, this means that he is back.

The room was silent, and no one answered.

But just as Xiao Que was about to continue knocking on the door, the door suddenly opened, and then, a figure rushed out, hugged Xiao Que directly, and grabbed his clothes with both hands.

"Woooooooooo......oo ＂

It was a girl's cry, and she hugged Xiao Que tightly, as if she was afraid that as soon as she let go, Xiao Que would disappear.

"Brother, you're finally back.... Woowoo...... I'm so worried about you. ＂

Xiao Que looked at the girl who hugged him and cried, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and a hint of softness appeared in his eyes, and then he gently patted the other party's shoulder and said softly:

"Okay, don't cry, isn't my brother back? ＂

His voice was gentle, with a kind of magic that made the girl in his arms stop crying.

In fact, Xiao Que and this girl are not related by blood, but Xiao Que is a little older, so he calls Xiao Que brother.

The girl raised her head and looked at Xiao Que with teary eyes, looking pitiful.

"Woo woo, brother, why did you come back so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore, and I won't see you again. ＂

The girl sobbed, her voice revealing a deep sense of fear.

Just as Xiao Que smiled slightly and was about to answer, he was interrupted by another immature voice.

"Boss, you're finally back. ＂

At this time, a group of children walked out of the room, their age was about one or two years younger than Xiao Que, and they all looked up at Xiao Que, their eyes full of admiration.

"Wow, it's amazing to bring back so much food! ＂

A younger child, who immediately noticed the food in the barrel, suddenly burst into flames and shouted excitedly.

His voice made the rest of the children look at the food as well, and a deep look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Shhhh

Xiao Que made a silent gesture and motioned for everyone to come into the house, and he took the lead in walking towards the house.

Seeing this, the children also hurriedly followed behind Xiao Que and followed them into the house.

The space in the room is not large, except for two creaking broken beds, there are all kinds of waste, including firewood, tiles, wooden boards, etc., which looks very messy.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Xiao Que did not forget to close the door tightly, which was a sigh of relief.

In this slum, countless people starve to death every year, here, food is equal to life, scrambling and fighting are the norm, no one will think that there is anything wrong with this, everyone is just to survive.

"Eat, you're welcome. ＂

Xiao Que turned around, took out the wooden bucket full of food, handed it to them, and then sat on the side.

The children are naturally beggars like Xiao Que, and naturally they will not dislike this scrap of cold burning, they scoop up food from the wooden barrel one after another, and devour it with great gusto, looking impatient.

"Slow down, no one is robbing you. ＂

Xiao Que shook his head helplessly, and the seemingly stern words came out of his mouth full of pampering.

But as if they hadn't heard, the children continued to gobble up, as if they wouldn't stop until their bellies burst.

This is not to blame them, they have been abandoned babies since birth, and they have been begging for a living since childhood, and it is really rare to see so much food, and it is inevitable that they will be overly excited.

At this moment, their faces were full of smiles, as if they had received the best gift in the world, and it was the happiest thing they had tonight.

Xiao Que looked at this group of children quietly, they were all hungry and bone-ty, and there was still sweat and dirt on their faces, but they were not at the mercy of fate, and they still worked hard to live.

Xiao Que's heart was a little sour, he wanted to change this unreasonable phenomenon, but his ability was limited.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, why don't you eat? ＂

A childish voice sounded suddenly, and the girl noticed Xiao Que's abnormality and asked with concern.

Xiao Que raised his head and glanced at the girl, and then, he shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"I'm not hungry. “

The girl looked at the tiredness and haggard on Xiao Que's face, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

She stretched out her hand to wipe the dust on the corners of Xiao Que's mouth and cheeks, and said in a slightly coquettish tone:

"I'll feed you. ＂

After speaking, the girl took the wooden bowl, scooped a spoonful of food, and put it into Xiao Que's mouth, Xiao Que did not refuse, and calmly opened her mouth to eat it.

"Next time, I'll bring you some better food. ＂

Xiao Que smiled, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

Now he is only a servant, and he can't eat much food a day, let alone a salary, so he can only bring some leftovers back to this group of children.
