Chapter 652: The Great Tang Dynasty. Little One
Chu An did not intervene directly, firstly because he did not know what had happened between the two children, and secondly because the guards would definitely intervene. However, when he saw that the little guy did not push Long Xi down the stairs but pulled him instead, he had already made a judgment in his heart.
It’s just that the little guy’s mood is a little complicated, with conscience, despair, fear, betrayal and a hint of anger.
When Chu An walked in front of Xiao Bitian, Long Xi had already returned to the door with the others. He turned around and looked at her with contempt. Uncle Long said that women were just accessories in the end times, and when you have the ability in the future, you can have whatever you want.
"Can you still stand up?" Chu An asked.
The little one's eyes were tearful, and he didn't see An clearly, but just nodded vigorously instinctively. No matter what the person in front of him wanted to do, it was good to be able to talk to him. No one had talked to him for a long time. He was very scared and missed his mother very much, and he didn't dare to think about his brother...
The kid was a little staggering when he stood up, and Chu An helped him up. The child's skin was very hot. He thought his red face was from the sun, but it turned out to be a fever.
At this moment, Chu An was a little hesitant about whether to ask him for help. Although she was not as cold as before, she would not help the weak for no reason, because there were too many and she could not help them all.
"Sister, what are you going to do? Can I help you? I'm cheap." The little guy said with some begging tone.
Before Chu An could speak, a little boy came over. He was not tall and very thin. "Sister, I can do a lot of things. I am very strong."
"Sister, sister, I can do it, I just need a steamed bun."
"I just want half a steamed bun."
Four or five little boys gathered around and vying for the job. The rewards they asked for were getting lower and lower, and the last one didn't even want any money.
Chu An turned around and Long Xi quickly looked away. It seemed that he was sent by Long Xi to steal his business.
"I can do it, too. I can do anything." The little guy was a little anxious, and subconsciously wanted to grab Chu An's trouser legs, but he pulled his hand back halfway, "I kowtow to you, please let me do it."
After saying this, he kowtowed to the ground with a thud, without any pretense.
My mother had begged for food for my brother like this before, and those people would give it to her in the end, even if it was a moldy red date.
This was totally beyond Chu An's expectation, and she almost took a step back. She hurriedly steadied herself and pulled the person up first. The little guy was so light that she could be lifted up easily, but the wound on his forehead became even more serious.
Alas, he was not afraid of killing people, but he was actually controlled by a tiny guy.
"Miss...I haven't eaten for several days, so just let me help you."
Although the children did not come around her on their own initiative, their difficult situation was real and they all looked at her with longing eyes.
She just wanted to use these kids who were walking around the streets to find Master Wang and Master Sun, and have them do some things for her and get some information. The reward wouldn't be much, but it was definitely better than other tasks.
"You can have the mission if you want, but now shut up and don't talk."
Chu An didn't want to use his right eye to judge their good or evil. It would be very depressing whether they were good or bad. It would be better to give them a chance to make their own choice.
"I will go to No. 21 on First Street to post the missions at 5pm. Anyone who wants to take the mission can find me there."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and two children took a step back, with more or less fear on their faces.
No. 21, First Street...there is a grave mound there.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
When Old Chu came out of the hall, the children around him scattered, leaving only the little one, who was still being carried by Chu An.
Old Chu hurried over, looked at the wounded kid, then looked at Chu An, and asked in surprise, "Did you hit him?"
Phew~
The guard next to him laughed, and Chu An was also helpless.
"No...no, I fell by myself." The little guy hurriedly explained, and Chu An put the child down. It was really a big misunderstanding.
Old Chu squatted down and asked, "Why did this child fall so badly? Where are your parents?"
Little one, "I...my parents died, I..."
His eyes drifted towards the door, then quickly retracted, "My brother doesn't want me anymore either."
"Tsk tsk...Hey, let me give you a task. When you complete it, come to me for your reward." said Lao Chu.
The little one looked at Chu An and said weakly, "It was this big sister who came to me first."
Lao Chu was choked, "Uh, did she give you the task?"
The little one shook his head, "No."
"Ahem... You are not allowed to accept tasks privately. If you want to post a task, you must go to the lobby to register." Seeing that these two people did not take him seriously at all, the guard had to remind them.
"Ah, I'm just asking about something, it's not a mission." Old Chu shamelessly explained, and then asked the little one if he could read.
Xiao Bu nodded, and Lao Chu took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote on it "Where is the black market?"
When Lao Chu didn't find the two young masters inside, he started to inquire about the black market. As a result, he asked more than a dozen people, but they all said they didn't know, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.
"This...place." The little guy looked at them in surprise. He obviously recognized these words and understood what Lao Chu meant.
But this is the mission hall, and it's not easy to say it under the guard's nose, and he doesn't know so many words.
Little Bit thought about it, asked Lao Chu to come closer to him, and then whispered a few words in his ear.
Lao Chu took out a bag of chocolates from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into his clothes, "Thank you for your free reminder."
The little guy opened his swollen eyes wide, and he didn’t say where it was, he just didn’t want them to go.
He held his stomach and felt something long. Could it be food? He had only eaten two bites of steamed buns in the past two days.
Each time you receive one, you only have time to take a bite before you have to hand it back.
"Don't stay here too long." The guard warned again.
"I...I'm leaving first. I'll come find you later." The little one was afraid of causing trouble for them.
Lao Chu nodded at the guard, "Thank you for the reminder, thank you for the reminder."
The guard cleared his throat again. "The outer city will distribute food to everyone who stays there every day. Children as young as them can still eat until they are 70% full."
Chu An, "What if the food is stolen? Will you care?"
The guards were speechless. There were too many children and they couldn't take care of them all.
Gu Ye also came out at this time, accepted the task, and paid a handling fee of 1 point.
After Chu An and the others left, the guard finally realized that catching robbers was the job of the Public Security Bureau, and what did it have to do with him. Besides, she was just watching the fun, so what right did she have to criticize him? Oh, why didn't he fight back at that time? Oh, I didn't perform well.
