Those were a pair of eyes without any warmth.
The black and white are distinct, and the beautiful eyes are slightly upturned at the ends, but no emotion can be seen.
Jiang Ningyan was stunned and before she could react, the broken bowl she was holding was knocked over.
Although the boy was very thin, he was surprisingly strong. With one hard push, he made her fall to the ground.
She ignored the pain in her palm and grabbed the boy's wrist.
"Don't go out, there are bad guys outside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young version of Lu Bingchuan paused and turned his head abruptly to look at her.
Jiang Ningyan realized that there was something wrong with what she said. It was true that there were bad people out there, but she "herself" was also a bad person.
She tried to speak in her most gentle tone, "I'm not in the same group with them. Don't go out. I'll let you go when I have a chance."
Lu Bingchuan looked at her quietly without saying a word.
Jiang Ningyan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched his head. "Little friend, please trust me, okay?"
I don’t know if Lu Bingchuan was really at the mental level of a child in this dream.
Not getting a response, Jiang Ningyan gently pulled his hand.
Without using any force, he pulled the person in front of him in an instant.
Jiang Ningyan understood that the child probably hadn't had a full meal for many days and was extremely weak and couldn't bear it.
She simply pulled him into the inner room and pointed at the worn earthen kang, "Go up."
Lu Bingchuan stood there without moving.
"Do you need me to hold you?" Jiang Ningyan asked kindly.
Lu Bingchuan looked up at her and finally responded.
Obviously he didn't want her to do it.
Jiang Ningyan was very relieved to see him lying obediently on the bed.
She pulled a half-new quilt over him and covered him with it. "Wait for me here."
It must be said that this family is really poor.
Everything in the house was tattered, as if it had been passed down for centuries.
Jiang Ningyan changed to a broken bowl, poured some water into it and took it back.
"Drink it."
Lu Bingchuan took it obediently and drank it all in a few gulps.
So obedient?
Jiang Ningyan was a little surprised, but soon figured it out.
It is estimated that Lu Bingchuan has been smart since he was a child. He knows that he cannot confront human traffickers head-on and must first relax their vigilance.
Quite a strategy.
Jiang Ningyan went to the kitchen and took a look. As far as her eyes could see, there was nothing edible.
I thought it was hidden well, but after searching through all the drawers and cabinets, I found that there was really no food in the house.
She had no choice but to go back hungry with a basin of water.
After wetting the towel, he walked towards Lu Bingchuan.
"Wipe your face."
Before she could refuse, she had already extended her hand.
The moment he was touched, Lu Bingchuan's body stiffened visibly.
Like a wounded little animal, he silently clenched his fists.
After wiping off the dust, his skin was abnormally pale, and there was a freshly scabbed wound on the corner of his forehead.
Looking at the bruises on his arms, it's not hard to imagine how many more scars there are on the areas covered by his clothes.
No wonder Lu Bingchuan became such an unsympathetic and cold person in the future. After suffering so much, it was good enough that he didn't become a psychopath.
Jiang Ningyan didn't know how long this dream lasted, and there was no response after she tried to call the system.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
Then he touched Lu Bingchuan's head again and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed."
Although the sun was shining brightly outside the window, she could pretend not to see it.
Lu Bingchuan also cooperated, pursed his lips and closed his eyes.
He has really long eyelashes and a high nose bridge.
If I have children in the future, it will definitely look great.
Realizing that she was daydreaming about a little boy, Jiang Ningyan quickly shook her head.
She's not, she doesn't!
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard.
Gurgling, it seemed like... her stomach was growling.
The owner of this body probably hasn't had a full meal for a long time.
Just as she was thinking about where to find food, she lowered her head and met the boy's obsidian pupils.
Lu Bingchuan took something out of his arms and handed it to her.
Jiang Ningyan's watery eyes widened slightly. This turned out to be a tortilla that had been there for who knows how long.
It's dry and as hard as a diamond.
"For me to eat?"
Lu Bingchuan nodded.
Jiang Ningyan was deeply moved. This child was so well-behaved that he took the initiative to share the things hidden in his arms.
But she really couldn't bring herself to say it.
Under Lu Bingchuan's focused gaze, she gritted her teeth and took a bite.
The tortilla crust wasn't even scratched, but her tooth ached terribly.
She curled her lips and put the pancake on the table.
"I'm not hungry. I'll eat later."
Soon, Lu Bingchuan closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiang Ningyan did not forget her goal: to reduce the blackening value.
But the mini Lu Bingchuan in this dream was well-behaved and didn't look like he was going to take his anger out on her at all.
So, why not take him away and avoid being kidnapped again?
Jiang Ningyan immediately rejected this idea.
Lu Bingchuan is too weak now and can't run far.
Besides, she is short now and can't carry him on her back all the time.
Before she could come up with a solution, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Old Third's, open the door!"
Jiang Ningyan hurried over, opened the door, and saw a dark and thin old woman.
Without saying a word, he walked in rudely.
Jiang Ningyan stopped her, "Wait a minute."
The old woman frowned and said, "Where's the child? Bring him out quickly and let me take a look. I don't want him if he's ugly!"
It seems that the "buyer" has arrived early.
Jiang Ningyan put her hands on her hips, looking impatient.
"The price has gone up. It's fifty yuan now. Buy it if you want or not."
The old woman's jaw dropped to the ground. "Hey, Third Brother, are you crazy? A boy is only worth fifteen yuan at most!"
Jiang Ningyan waved her hand, "Fifty yuan, not a cent less!"
She deliberately made the price very high. In this day and age, no one would pay such a high price even if they wanted a son.
The old woman got angry, "Bah! You're dreaming in broad daylight! I'm not buying it!"
After saying this, he walked away angrily with his little feet limping.
Jiang Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As I turned around, I felt a sudden chill down my spine.
Lu Bingchuan was standing in the inner room, his hands tightly gripping the door frame, looking at her with the ferocious eyes of a wolf cub.
