Chapter 1 The Bloody Case Caused by Buns
"Kill you, let you steal, let you steal, let you steal...."
Su Shu woke up in pain, and the dense pain hit, and the scolding sound and the punches and kicks made her faint again without a quick reaction.
"Phew, what a fucking bad luck, don't let Lao Tzu see you again next time. A man in a coarse cloth shirt stopped the beating when he saw that the villain on the ground was silent, and still spat on the villain in anger, and then left with a curse.
I don't know how long it took, the little man on the ground woke up faintly, a little face was filthy and unbearable, and people couldn't see the face, the only thing that could be seen clearly was the big black and white eyes, the eyes were full of pain and confusion.
"Hey~ Where is this?" Su Shu exhaled deeply twice before she endured the pain and looked around.
I found myself in a small alley surrounded by filth, and the specifications of the alley did not look like a city-owned building.
The pain in her body was too much, Su Shu eased up for a while, and felt that the pain in her body was not so strong before she slowly climbed up by holding on to the foot of the wall, but as soon as she moved, a severe pain hit her head.
After a while, Su Shu muttered strangely, tangled and confused on her face:
"I am.... Caught up with the crossing?"
Su Shu is an orphan in modern times, the kind who feeds the whole family without hunger, because of her cold temperament, she likes to be alone, and she has no friends.
She remembered that she had insomnia because of too much work pressure, so she fell asleep after taking sleeping pills.
And this body was a seven-year-old beggar who had been begging in the city for as long as she could remember. She is young, sometimes she will be robbed of a few pennies when she finally begs for money, this time she is really hungry to steal a bun, but she was beaten to death.
Su Shu looked at the bun that was still half left in her hand with complicated eyes and was speechless for a long time, and then slowly raised her hand to her mouth and took a bite
"It's... It's delicious..."
Two tears flowed slowly, and I don't know if this bun is really delicious enough to make people cry, or if it is not worth it for the little man who has passed away!
—————————
Looking at the bustling streets with people coming and going, listening to the cries of vendors, the laughter of children, and the figures of leisurely walking and shuttling, it is a prosperous scene.
Su Shu only felt that the confusion in her heart was even worse, and she felt like a lonely soul wandering in this world, not knowing where to come, let alone how to return.
After an afternoon of inquiry, Su Shu had a preliminary understanding of this world, a dynasty that did not exist in history, and this city is called Cloud City.
In the evening, Su Shu came to the river with her tired body and scrubbed her body slightly, because the weather in May was still a little cold, and her body was thin and short because of long-term hunger, and she was obviously seven years old, but she looked only five years old.
And this body is too weak to get cold anymore, so Su Shu can only endure the smell and continue to put on her clothes.
When cleaning her neck, she remembered that there was a jade pendant on her neck, Su Shu raised her yellow eyebrows, took off the jade pendant in her hand, and looked at the moonlight carefully.
There is a fire phoenix attached to the small jade pendant, and the reason why it is described as "attached" is because this fire phoenix is as lifelike as it is, which makes people see it well. The jade pendant under the moonlight flashed with a glowing light, making the already extraordinary jade pendant look even more mysterious.
Su Shu thought about it and didn't remember the origin of this jade pendant, only remembered that this child had been wearing it since he could remember, and carefully hid it, never letting people find out and never taking it off, although there was no memory of the jade pendant, but it can be seen that this jade pendant is very important.
After hanging the jade pendant around his neck again and hiding it under his clothes to make sure that it would not slip out, he slowly walked towards the ruined temple where he lived in his memory.
"Little mute, you're back, I heard that you were beaten for stealing buns today, are you okay?" A dirty little girl stood at the door of the broken temple, and when she saw Su Shu coming back, she happily pulled her up and down.
Hearing the title of little mute, Su Shu frowned at first, and then reacted that it was someone else who gave the child a name.
Because the child had never spoken since she came here, over time everyone thought that she couldn't speak, so they gave her this name.
And the little girl in front of her is called Xiaohua, about twelve years old.
Su Shu looked at her little hand that was being caught, and took it back very uncomfortably, only then did she raise her eyes and look at Xiaohua and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
The little girl named Xiaohua pursed her mouth and said:
"How can it be okay, the boss of the Wang family's steamed bun shop is the most vicious, you say that you are not good at stealing someone's favorite? Next time you don't want to steal his family's steamed buns, otherwise you will definitely be killed by him!"
Su Shu was silent, lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, wasn't she just beaten to death.
Xiaohua saw that her mood was not quite right, and thought that she was in pain, so she stopped her mouth and pulled her into the ruined temple, avoiding the other beggars and walking to the corner of the wall and sitting down.
Su Shu stared at the hand that was grabbed by Xiaohua again, endured and endured, and just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Xiaohua let go of her, and took out half a piece of steamed bread from her arms and stuffed it into her hand and said:
"Little mute, you are hungry, I have a steamed bun for you to eat, this is what I left for you, you eat it quickly, don't be robbed again." ”
Looking at the half of the steamed bun in her hand, Su Shu's heart warmed, and seeing that Xiaohua did not have a reluctant look, she knew that she had helped this child a lot, but she was no longer the seven-year-old child, and there was no reason to let a little girl in her early teens raise it, so she raised her hand and returned the steamed bun to Xiaohua, and said:
"Thank you, I've eaten, I'm not hungry. ”
Xiaohua listened to this hoarse child's voice, her eyes widened slightly, and then she said with great relief:
"You're finally willing to speak, I thought you were going to stay out of your mouth for the rest of your life!"
You must know that she has known the little mute for so long and has never heard her take the initiative to say a word, if she hadn't called her mother in a dream, she would have thought she was mute!
Su Shu lowered her eyes and shook her head, saying:
"I just didn't want to talk before. ”
The reason why children do not speak is because they are a little autistic, close themselves in their own world, and never open their mouths to communicate with others.
And Su Shu has her own plans, she can't act according to the child's personality, so as to play an autistic patient, so she will inevitably make changes.
Xiaohua nodded suddenly, and then said happily:
"If only you were willing to speak, so that when you go out to beg in the future, you may beg a little more, and you won't have to go hungry all the time." ”
Hearing Xiaohua's words, Su Shu's eyes flashed dazed and tangled again, as an adult, it was too difficult for her to beg.
But her current body is too weak to do anything, even if she has the heart to work, no one will want her, how to survive in this strange world has become a big problem.
After thinking about it for a while, she didn't come up with a clue, Su Shu was really tired and hungry, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She thought, maybe she woke up and went back? Or maybe it was just a dream? With this thought, Su Shu soon fell into a deep sleep.
