Anyway, he doesn't have any psychological burden.

The carriage went all the way.

On the way, he would occasionally let Xiao Baozhu come down to play.

If there is something rare on the side of the road, he will also buy it for Xiao Baozhu.

And so it stopped, and after some time, the carriage arrived at the border city.

Before they could enter the city, the rain was already falling.

Little Baozhu leaned on the window and reached for the raindrops.

When she was at home, she had never seen such a heavy and continuous rain.

"Uncle, I know why this place is called Pearl City." Xiao Baozhu said excitedly.

The raindrops here crackled like countless beads falling from the sky.

No wonder it's called Pearl City.

"Huh? Is it? "Hoda is absent-minded.

In fact, this place is not called Zhucheng at all, and he doesn't know what it is called.

All he knew was that it was the furthest he could go.

It's perfect to throw the little orb here.

He was going to stay here for two or three days, and when he got acquainted with her, he threw her down.

He found an inn, paid the money, and took the little jewel out.

The border city is not as beautiful as Xiao Baozhu imagined.

In recent years, the border has been raging, and the enemy country has repeatedly invaded, and the people who live here will be affected by the war to a greater or lesser extent.

The rich are okay and can live anywhere, but the poor are different.

If you want to survive in such a difficult place, you have to sell your sons and daughters and beg for food to live.

After following Huoda for half a street, Xiao Baozhu's face was not as happy as it was at the beginning.

Huo Yingwei didn't expect that Huoda would bring Xiao Baozhu to such a place.

He said he was a wealthy businessman from the South.

But he came here at the moment, clearly on the northern border.

Either he lied, or he knew they were following and deliberately avoided something.

However, it was just right to come.

Listening to the emperor's meaning, the war with the neighboring countries is already on the verge of breaking out.

When he came this time, he could also secretly inquire about some things that he usually couldn't inquire about in the capital.

Huo Da didn't realize that Huo Yingwei and the others were not far away, so he found a stall at random and asked for two bowls of broth to make steamed buns.

This place is damp and cold, and drinking a bowl of hot broth could not be happier.

Xiao Baozhu had never eaten this thing, so he took a deep breath and snorted, "It's so fragrant." ”

As she spoke, she took a bite of the bun in her hand.

Then her little face wrinkled, why is it so hard.

Hoda laughed, "That's not how it was eaten. ”

He broke the bun in his hand, soaked it in the broth, stirred it, and brought his bowl to Xiao Baozhu.

Xiao Baozhu scooped a spoonful and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Sir, miss...... Have mercy on us...... Please, have mercy on us......"

Little Orb turned her head to look.

A young woman, skinny, with a child about three or four years old.

They didn't have rain gear on them, and they were soaked in the rain.

The water droplets on the woman's face couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

"Give us something to eat, have pity on us......"

Hoda's eyes showed a little impatience.

Who doesn't pity them these days?

Isn't he pitiful?

If he hadn't found the right way and made a few deals, he would be so pitiful now.

Hoda was about to chase them away, when the cuff was grabbed by the small orb.

"Uncle." Xiao Baozhu's big clear eyes were full of pleading, "Give them something to eat, okay?" ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Hoda's eyes.

It's really a big lady who doesn't eat fireworks in the world.

"There are so many poor people in this world, you can't help them." He said.

"But I can help as many as I can." Xiao Baozhu said.

Daddy once said that doing it is better than not doing it well.

Huoda was patient and reasoned with her.

"Our budget is also limited. Today I stipulate that we can only eat a bowl of broth for each of us, and give it to her, what about ours? ”

"Give it to her, and we'll go hungry, will you give it back?"

Xiao Baozhu thought about it for a while, and decisively picked up the hot broth, "Give." ”

The woman didn't expect Xiao Baozhu to take such a move, and even though she was moved to tears, she frantically thanked the child while feeding the child on the side, for fear that she would regret it.

Huoda glanced at her, "You gave it to her, but mine won't give you food." ”

As he spoke, he blew on the hot soup in the spoon and took a beautiful sip.

"It's okay." Little Baozhu said, "It's okay. ”

She has hot rice and snacks to eat along the way, but for this mother and son, a bowl of hot soup may be life-saving.

It doesn't matter if she eats less.

So, she really sat obediently on the side, not noisy or noisy.

On the contrary, Hoda couldn't drink the soup.

"Your name is ......"

He wanted to say something, but he didn't want to say too much to Little Jewel.

He just didn't believe that there really were good people in this world.

Looking at Xiao Baozhu's puzzled gaze, he thought for a moment and said.

"You give it to her now because you don't want to be hungry, and if you're hungry, it won't be like this."

Little Baozhu looked at him in confusion.

"I know you don't understand."

He put his bowl forward.

"Suppose that right now, there is only this bowl of broth, and you and I are about to starve to death, will you give me the broth?"

Xiao Baozhu didn't think twice, "That can be half of one person." ”

Isn't it great that one person and a half can't eat enough and can't starve to death?

Hoda narrowed her eyes.

He really didn't expect this kind of answer.

"Another hypothesis, suppose, we are now in the water, about to drown, at this time the ticket comes to a canoe, we can only live one, who do you give it to?"

"Here you go." Little Orb still didn't think twice.

Hoda pouted, "Are you stupid?" ”

It's about whether you can survive or not.

Xiao Baozhu didn't think he was stupid, along the way, he was very good to himself, and he had to take himself to find his mother.

She's grateful for it.

"You ......"

"You're hopeless." Huoda simply put away the kindness he was going to explain to her.

She was too young to understand these things.

He doesn't know as much as she does.

It's just that......

Just now she had a clear face and said that she would save him.

Looking at those eyes, it was difficult for him not to be moved in his heart.

Hoda looked at her.

Forget it, isn't it just a bowl of broth, he can still afford it.

He shoved the broth in front of the hungry woman's eyes and shouted from the boss, "Two more bowls!" ”

Little Baozhu's head leaned closer, "Isn't the budget limited?" ”

"Sell it, and you're good to go." Hoda glared at her, "Eat yours." ”

What he said was a half-truth.

He was indeed going to "sell" the little orb.

Distance.

Fok Yingwei took a bite of the baked cake in his hand.

He saw everything that had just happened.

"This Hoda...... He doesn't look like a bad person. Huo Shengyao said.

It's more like a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted kind.
