Along the way, Lu Qingyan had heard people say that they wanted to capture her and sell her, but those people also said that she was too young and a girl, so she probably wouldn't fetch a good price.
Even if she were to buy her back as a wife for her son, she would have to raise her for several more years, making it a bad deal.
Lu Qingyan narrowly escaped several disasters in this way.
After more than a month of living in a daze, a piece of news suddenly came out: "Hey, have you heard? The biggest company in our city is going to send us clothes and food in a few days."
"Really? Where did you hear that?" The man clearly didn't believe it. "In another month, winter will be over. If he really meant well, why would he choose this time? Isn't he just putting on a show for others?"
Lu Qingyan sat not far away, listening to the conversation between two dirty homeless men.
"Why are you making such a fuss?" said the unhappy person who had delivered the message earlier. "No matter what his motives are, we'll be the ones who benefit in the end. Why bother with all this? Even when spring comes next year, the weather won't suddenly become warm. The cold wind will still be blowing for a while."
"You're right."
As they talked, Lu Qingyan's ears twitched. Food and clothing were what she craved most right now. As for a place to live, she now had a little doghouse, which was a bit shabby, but it was enough to keep her out of the wind and rain.
Lu Qingyan thought to herself that she must go there and snatch some food too.
Lu Qingyan had long since spent all the little money she had left, and now she was living entirely on the charity of others. Perhaps because she was so petite, many people couldn't help but feel pity for her when they saw her. Even if some people didn't give her money, they would give her a little food, so she wasn't really starving.
Lu Qingyan didn't dare to approach them, so she could only observe the two people quietly. Two days later, they finally went to a place.
This place isn't actually in the city center, but in the suburbs. There are newly built temporary tents there, and many people dressed in identical clothes are distributing things to others.
Lu Qingyan felt very cold, but she preferred the food to the clothes, so she squeezed in with a group of people and waited to get her food.
There were quite a few people here. Some were young and strong men, some were elderly people who walked unsteadily, and some were teenagers. There were even some people who looked smaller than Lu Qingyan.
Now, Lu Qingyan no longer worries about whether she will be able to get any food.
These people were quite well-prepared; Lu Qingyan received a large bag of food. She recognized two steamed buns, but the rest seemed unfamiliar to her.
"How could those people be so heartless? So many children came to collect food." Lu Qingyan noticed someone with red eyes speaking up for them.
She looked up at the person who was speaking. He was very ordinary-looking, but he gave off a very gentle and approachable feeling.
This must be a kind-hearted older sister. Lu Qingyan came to this conclusion, but for some reason, she didn't like this older sister.
Lu Qingyan glanced down at the food in her hand and nodded solemnly. Well, she decided to continue enjoying the food she had, but wondered who the kind person who had given them this food was.
With a thought, Lu Qingyan pulled up a thin and frail-looking girl next to her.
