The steamed corn bread made of pure sorghum was a bit rough, unlike the ones in the more affluent times that were mixed with various kinds of flour. However, for this extremely hungry body, it was a rare delicacy.
Lin Su ate a small piece and looked at the other half in his hand. There were bite marks on it, which was obviously the little guy's food for the day.
He turned his gaze, and the little guy looked at his own hands, blinked and shrank, and said in a baby voice: "This is mine..."
"I'm hungry...give me some food first...cough...I'll give you more later." Lin Su coughed twice and said with difficulty.
The recovery potion is working, but it can't relieve hunger. Although it can be exchanged from the system, it's better not to use it unless it's necessary.
"More..." The little guy's eyes lit up, "More?"
"Yes." Lin Su said.
The little thing is so small, you know more is a good thing.
"Here!" Li Xiujian gave it to him very decisively this time, his eyes sparkling as he held it in his hand.
Lin Su sat up from the ground, took a deep breath, and wanted to reach out to take it, but he saw a thin and dirty little hand. His body now looked like that of a seven or eight-year-old. If he wanted to survive, he had to work harder.
Lin Su retracted his hand, met the little guy's puzzled eyes, lowered his head and bit the steamed bun, eating most of it in one bite, and the burning sensation in his stomach was relieved.
It would have been fine if he had taken it and eaten it, but he took such a big bite that the little guy's eyes became even bigger. When he put it in front of him, he blinked in confusion: "It's gone..."
Lin Su lowered his head again and bit off the rest. It would be better not to leave the leftovers for this fair and clean little guy.
There was nothing left. The little fellow scratched around with his hands, looked at Lin Su's mouth, and tears welled up in his eyes: "No more..."
[Host, you made him cry.] 06 said.
【How cute.】 Lin Su sighed.
06 Start warning: [Host, according to the laws of the original world, such a young child...]
[He is mine.] Lin Su said slowly.
[That won't work either. Once you have dirty thoughts, you might be thrown into the mission world forever!] 06 was very anxious. After all, the host had kissed his wife and made her faint the moment they saw each other.
Although he said he fainted from hunger, 06 refused to listen and did not believe him. He said if he fainted from kissing, then he fainted from kissing.
"Have you detected any dirty thoughts in me?" Lin Su asked.
06: [……]
No, the host's heart is a pure land and the screen is full of cuteness.
Seeing the little cutie crying is just cute.
Lin Su likes the little guy's appearance when he grows up, not his childish appearance. However, that guy promised that he would like him at first sight, so in a sense, he broke his promise.
"Oh... no one is going to make the little bastard cry, come and see!" A boy in shorts and shirtless shouted.
As soon as he shouted, many children came rushing in, big and small, with dark skin and dirt on their clothes. Some of them were holding wild flowers in their hands, looking like they had just come back from the fields.
"Hu Zi really made Li Xiutang cry!"
“It’s shameless to bully a child!!!”
"Little bastard, little bastard, the little bastard that no one wants..."
"Zhuzi, if you keep scolding that little bastard, his mother will come out and beat you up!!"
"She cheated on me and beat me up. My mom said that bitch like that can be called names by anyone."
"No way! Mom isn't!" Li Xiuyan shrank back, tears welling up in her eyes falling. "You are all bad people, big bad guys!!!"
"He's crying...hahaha..."
"He looks like a woman. Maybe he's not a man at all, you little bastard. Let's check him out."
A group of people came up, and the little guy's eyes flashed with timidity and fear. He shrank back and cried even harder: "Mom, Mom..."
"You only know how to call me mom, you're useless...ah!" The child who was talking was hit on the head by a stone, and tears came out of his eyes in pain. He looked at Lin Su and said, "What are you doing if no one wants you?"
Lin Su pulled the crying and trembling little guy behind him, picked up the sticks and stones on the ground and walked towards the group of noisy children.
The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, and the tough are afraid of the desperate.
Lin Su's eyes were obviously fierce, which was intimidating enough for a group of children, but it was easy for children to lose sight of a group's strength just because they were outnumbered.
"Hu Zi, you dare to hit me, ah!!" The boy was hit on the ankle by Lin Su's stick and fell to his knees. The pain in his knee made him cry, "Mom!!! Hu Zi hit me!!"
Wailing sounds rang out. Lin Su looked at the children who were clearly showing signs of fear and said, "Why don't you run away? Do you want to die if you stay here?"
His eyes flashed with ferocity, and he had already raised the stick. The group of children almost crawled away, dropping the things they were holding and crying for their parents.
Everyone had already run away. Lin Su dropped the stick and stone and walked towards the little guy who had tears in his eyes but his eyes were wide open.
Seeing Lin Su coming over, the little guy shrank back in fear and hugged his head: "Brother won't hit me..."
Lin Su reached out to touch his head, but saw his dirty hands and stopped in mid-air. He squatted down and said, "Well, brother will protect Tangtang and won't hit you."
"Don't fight?" The little guy looked at him and said.
"Yes, not only did we not beat them, we also drove the bad kids away." Lin Su said.
"Oh..." The little guy's eyes lit up, "Brother, that's awesome."
"So don't cry, okay?" Lin Su said.
The little guy looked at his hands and seemed melancholy for a moment: "It's gone..."
Lin Su: “…”
Very good, you still remember your own steamed buns.
This little guy never suffers any loss wherever he goes.
Lin Su looked around and pulled some grass from the side and weaved it in his hands. Li Xiujian was a little curious and leaned over to see what he was doing. When the tears fell, he just casually touched them with his little hands, and obviously almost forgot that he was crying.
In just a moment, a mighty mantis appeared in Lin Su's hand.
"Stretch out your hand." Lin Su said to the little guy opposite who was looking at him in amazement.
The little fellow obediently stretched out his white and tender little hand. Lin Su placed the mantis on his hand and said, "This is for you."
"Beautiful!" The little guy couldn't let go of the grass mantis. He touched it gently with his hand, and a smile appeared on his little face, which still had traces of tears.
"Xiu-tang, Xiu-tang!!! Where are you?!" A female voice calling came from a distance.
