At night, Yan Xi climbed over the wall to the dilapidated temple to find Lou Jinchuan again.
By the way, I also brought a thick piece of clothing that the original owner wore when he was a child.
System 5555 was a little confused by his behavior. "Haven't you already decided to follow the first criterion? Why are you still trying to help the hero?"
"You don't understand. If I want to become more powerful than the hero, don't I have to steal his opportunity? If I leave him alone, and he's still spotted by a martial arts expert like before, and joins the army when he grows up, then won't all my efforts be wasted?
Although I can reach his level with twice the effort, as the male protagonist he is extremely talented, has many opportunities, and is willing to work hard, I simply cannot catch up.
So I might as well keep him under my nose and train him into a useless little loser with no ambition. Although this is a bit unethical, I have to do it for the mission. At worst, I can just support him for the rest of his life, right?
And if I continue to raise him, he will definitely be grateful to me and have a high regard for me. I believe he will not go against me when he grows up."
After listening to his analysis, System 5555 felt that it made some sense and stopped talking.
…
The evening wind was exceptionally cold today, and Lou Jinchuan was wearing thin and tattered clothes, which did not keep him warm at all.
He hid behind the broken temple door, hoping to get warmer.
Suddenly, my stomach started growling and I felt a little hungry.
Lou Jinchuan glanced at the beggars who were sleeping soundly in the temple, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He finally persuaded himself to beg today and got one or two steamed buns and a few copper coins, but they were snatched away by the beggars before they could even warm up.
He was small and weak, so he couldn't snatch the food at all and was beaten up. So he could only endure it silently and drank a few sips of water to relieve his hunger.
He also thought about leaving here, but as a criminal, if his identity was discovered, he would end up being beheaded.
All he can do now is wait for the opportunity.
Lou Jinchuan tilted his head and looked outside the dilapidated temple through the crack in the door.
There was nothing but the silent night.
That person didn't come.
He broke his promise.
Lou Jinchuan raised a sarcastic smile.
Sure enough, my mother was right. I can’t put my hopes on others.
At this time, he heard a few frog croaks.
Lou Jinchuan touched his stomach which was aching from hunger, slowly got up, and limped out following the sound.
The weeds outside the dilapidated temple are so overgrown that they can drown people.
But he didn't care about all that now, and groped gently in the grass in the moonlight.
The movement in the grass startled the croaking frogs inside.
It jumped suddenly.
Lou Jinchuan focused his mind, and with quick eyes and hands, he pressed the frog down under him with a plop, then carefully reached out and caught it.
After picking it up and taking a look, Lou Jinchuan showed a long-lost smile.
"What are you doing?" Someone suddenly spoke from behind him. He was startled and accidentally let the frog slip away.
Lou Jinchuan turned around and gave the man a cold look, ignoring him and preparing to go catch the frog again.
However, he had just been beaten by a group of beggars during the day, and just now he fell to the ground with a thud, with injuries on his body. He had not taken a few steps when he fell down with a bang.
Seeing this, Yan Xi hurriedly picked him up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lou Jinchuan had a cold, chubby face, his lips tightly pursed, and his hands kept pushing his chest, as if he was resisting his hug.
It was just because he hadn't eaten, so he didn't have much energy at all. To Yan Xi, it was just like scratching an itch.
A gust of wind blew by, and he smelled a strong aroma of meat. He couldn't help but salivate and stared at Yan Xi's clothes.
Yan Xi saw this expression and immediately understood. He put him aside and took out a chicken drumstick wrapped in oil paper and two roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo). "Eat it."
Lou Jinchuan took it with peace of mind and blinked his dark eyes.
The corner of Yan Xi's mouth twitched slightly, "It's not poisonous, feel free to eat it. Why would I poison a little brat like you? I'm not sick."
It seemed that what he said made a lot of sense, so I started eating without any worries.
Maybe it was because Yan Xi had been holding it in his arms, so the food was still warm and felt a little warm in his stomach after eating it.
As I was eating, I suddenly felt heavy.
He raised his head blankly, looked at his clothes, and looked at him in confusion.
"Dress warmly. It's autumn now and the weather is cold. You'll easily catch a cold if you wear so little."
Lou Jinchuan puffed out his cheeks, took it off, stuffed it back to him, stared at the clothes, and said incoherently: "It will be robbed."
Besides, such nice clothes would look very awkward on a beggar like him.
Yan Xi touched the soft and skin-friendly material and was suddenly speechless.
"I didn't think it through, but are you really not going to come with me now? If you follow me, you won't have to worry about food or clothing, instead of staying here with no food or clothing."
Lou Jinchuan shook his head, "Not yet."
"Why?" Yan Xi couldn't understand the male protagonist's train of thought. If other beggars heard what he said, they would have followed him long ago.
