Lingzhi was covered in dust and Xiao Qingyun was dressed in rags.
As the two walked down the street, Lingzhi suddenly felt that they exuded the aura of the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
After walking for a while, the two saw many ragged beggars begging.
Lingzhi was surprised and said, "Hey, this town is so prosperous, why are there so many beggars?"
Xiao Qingyun's face was solemn: "Could it be the disaster victims from Wuyang?"
The two passed by the door of a bun shop.
I saw a little beggar with ragged clothes and a dirty face, staring at the meat buns in the steamer of the bun shop owner.
"What are you doing? If you don't have money to buy it, don't stand here blocking the road. Get away!" The bun shop owner waved his hand to chase them away.
"Boss, I've been hungry for several days. Please give me something to eat."
The little beggar suddenly knelt on the ground and begged the bun shop owner.
"Please be kind and give me a bun! Just one will do. I'm really hungry. Please."
However, his pleading was met with the wrath of the bun shop owner.
"You little bastard! Didn't you hear me? I told you to leave and stop blocking my business! And you still dare to whine to me? Are you looking for death?!"
The bun shop owner lifted the door curtain of the shed and walked out with an angry face. He took a few steps forward and raised his hand to slap the little beggar who was kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, a slender hand reached out from somewhere, like a pair of pliers, and grabbed the bun shop owner's hand tightly.
"Um?!"
The bun shop owner was startled and stared at Xiao Qingyun and Lingzhi who suddenly appeared, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
Lingzhi went straight to the little beggar and helped him up from the ground.
The owner of the bun shop here saw that the two men looked like "big beggars" and his arrogance instantly became again.
"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? Let your grandpa go!"
The bun shop owner struggled hard, trying to break free from Xiao Qingyun's hand, but after a struggle, Xiao Qingyun did not move at all, and just looked at the bun shop owner with an indifferent expression.
Lingzhi comforted the little beggar and turned to look at the bun shop owner:
"Why are you hitting him? He just wants to eat two buns, I'll give you some money!"
The bun shop owner glanced at the two of them from head to toe with a look of disbelief on his face.
Lingzhi immediately touched Xiao Qingyun's chest.
Xiao Qingyun covered her hand and said, "The clothes are torn and the purse is moved."
"Sorry, I'm used to your touching." Lingzhi pulled her hand back.
Xiao Qingyun released his grip on the bun shop owner, took out a piece of silver from his waist and threw it to him.
"More meat buns!"
The bun shop owner took the silver piece, put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and immediately smiled happily: "Okay, please sit down first, I will serve you buns right away!"
Lingzhi pulled the little beggar and sat at an empty table with Xiao Qingyun.
The buns were quickly served on the table, filling three whole drawers.
Lingzhi pushed a whole tray of buns in front of the little beggar and said, "Eat it. You can take away the leftovers."
"real?"
The little beggar's eyes, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up again.
He grabbed a white bun with trembling hands and looked at Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun again.
"Eat." Lingzhi nodded at him.
"Thank you, beautiful sister!"
The little beggar couldn't wait to stuff the bun into his mouth and gobble it up.
Lingzhi smiled, poured him a glass of water, and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke, drink some water."
"Hmmmm."
The little beggar responded without even raising his head, and stuffed another big bite of bun into his mouth.
It can be seen that he is very hungry.
After eating most of the big buns in the tray, the little beggar stood up while touching his stomach.
Seeing that the little beggar had almost finished eating, Lingzhi pushed the water cup in front of him, let him drink a few sips of water to moisten his throat, and asked: "Are you full?"
The little beggar looked at the whole tray of buns, most of which had been eaten by him alone, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm full."
Xiao Qingyun, who was sitting beside him, asked him, "Little brother, are you a disciple of the Beggars' Sect?"
The little beggar shook his head without thinking: "No, I'm from a small county town in Wuyang."
"Wuyang? Then why are you here?"
"My home was destroyed by the flood, and my parents died. I fled with my fellow villagers and begged for food all the way here."
The little beggar couldn't help but shed tears as he spoke: "I miss my mother. I really want to go home, but my home is gone..."
Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun looked at each other and couldn't help feeling sad.
It turns out that human beings are so insignificant in the face of natural disasters.
Lingzhi and Xiao Qingyun also took a few bites, stuffed the remaining buns and some silver into the little beggar's arms, told him to keep them carefully, and hurried towards the disaster area.
On the way, they hired a large ship and traveled by water, arriving at the Wuyang border as quickly as possible.
The flood affected a wide area.
Their boat had only been sailing for half a day when it was hit by huge waves of the flood.
The pitch-black night enveloped the earth, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and no starlight could be seen.
Lingzhi stood on the deck and looked up at the sky.
The wind before the rainstorm was cool, blowing on her face in gusts, slowly blowing away her confused mood.
After a while, a heavy rain came down, and everyone was soaked in an instant.
Xiao Qingyun hurriedly went up to the deck and pulled Lingzhi back, then leaned over to her ear and shouted, "The rain is too heavy, let's go into the cabin and take shelter."
