Extra: If Little Dragon Cub (I)
Gu Lin sat on the ground with his legs stretched out, holding a bowl in his arms that was bigger than his face.
At this time, his whole body was green, with two cute little horns on his head, a little tail dragging behind him, and his little body was chubby.
He turned into a little dragon cub, similar in color and size to his original form, the little Qilin, but looked quite different.
His hands also turned into dragon claws. He held the big bowl with both claws, put it on his face, and drank up the last mouthful of soup.
Gurgle.
His little stomach was not full and made another growling sound.
There was no soup left in the bowl. Gu Lin tilted his little head back, not wanting to miss even the last drop.
He put the big bowl down, revealing his white, tender and chubby face, a pair of big eyes, looking aggrieved, cute and lovable.
Gu Lin rubbed his hungry stomach and looked at the big bowl that was so clean that it didn't need to be washed.
I'm hungry.
This is a future world, and Gu Lin is a little dragon cub from the slums.
This big bowl is the only possession he has at the moment, and there is a crack in it. It is the best bowl he has ever picked up.
Gu Lin, this little orphan dragon, was born into a poor family that could barely afford to eat. They didn't even have a bed. All they had was a simple nest made of worn-out mattresses and old clothes that he picked up from outside.
It's a bit shabby, but at least it's quite warm.
Gu Lin only drank a bowl of beef soup the whole day, and it was Grandpa Zhang, who ran the beef soup restaurant next door, who felt sorry for him and served him a bowl.
But there were only two thin slices of meat and the rest was soup, which was not filling at all.
Gu Lin is still a baby dragon cub. He can’t cook and has no money to buy food. He can only survive by begging and picking up garbage.
Fortunately, his neighbors think he is cute and feed him food.
But Gu Lin was still often hungry because he ate too much.
The neighbors' grandparents, uncles and aunts, seeing that he was so young, thought that he couldn't eat much, and they would never give him too much, otherwise it would be wasted if he couldn't finish it.
After all, we are all poor people living in the slums. We are all very poor. Basically, we have no food to eat and can barely afford three meals a day.
Although Gu Lin is young, he has self-esteem. It is already a big trouble for others to give him food, so he is embarrassed to ask for more.
Gu Lin was still very grateful to them, and silently remembered their kindness in his heart. He secretly made up his mind that when he grew up and was able to work and earn money, he would repay his grandparents, uncles and aunts who gave him food.
If he’s not full, Gu Lin has another trick up his sleeve: sleep.
No matter how hungry you are, you won’t feel hungry as long as you fall asleep.
Gu Lin took great care of his only bowl of rice. He stood on a small stool, turned on the faucet, and washed the bowl carefully.
He has no money to buy it, and if he doesn't take good care of this bowl, he will have no bowl to eat in next time.
After Gu Lin washed the dishes, he crawled into his little nest, curled up into a small ball, buried his cute little face between his two hooves, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Go to sleep, you won’t be hungry when you sleep.
The sound of your stomach growling can also serve as a lullaby.
Half asleep and half awake, Gu Lin was awakened by a gust of cold wind.
His family was so poor, the poorest of the poor in the entire slum. The walls of their house were drafty on all sides and the roof leaked.
Gu Lin raised his head. His head was almost as big as his body. The whole little dragon cub had a body size of two heads.
Seeing that the shabby door of his house was about to be blown apart by the wind, Gu Lin hurriedly got up, ran, and used his chubby body to prop up the door.
Gu Lin pressed his two paws against the door panel, his short legs stretched straight, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he was exerting all his strength.
The shaky door panel was not blown apart by the wind, but it fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Gu Lin was still holding the door with his two little arms raised high.
“…”
Gu Lin's face was blank as he looked at the door panel that was not blown apart by the wind but was pushed apart by him.
After looking for a while, Gu Lin frowned, walked around the fallen door panel twice, and stepped on it.
What should he do? There is no door in his house.
Gu Lin looked at the broken door panel, sat down on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes, and looked at the door that he had pushed open with tearful eyes.
There is no door. What if a bad guy comes to the house and steals things when he is sleeping?
Although he has nothing to steal, what if a bad guy steals it?
Gu Lin held his dragon tail, not wanting it to be stolen by the bad guys.
He knew that there were no dragons or dragon cubs in this world, and the bad guys would definitely steal him and sell him.
He would never be able to beg for food or pick up trash again.
A handsome young man in his twenties lived next door. He was sleeping. When he heard the noise, he opened the door in his slippers and looked out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Lin sitting at the door of his house, holding his little tail, crying as he looked at the fallen door.
He didn't cry out loudly, probably because he was afraid of waking up his neighbors, but the sound of the door falling to the ground still woke them up.
Seeing his pitiful appearance at this moment is so sad.
The young man was stunned for a moment, yawned, walked over and said: "Little dragon cub, why aren't you sleeping? Why are you alone... uh, a dragon sitting here crying"
Gu Lin raised her head, looked at him with tearful eyes, patted the door with her little hands, and said in a tender voice: "The door is broken, the bad guys stole the baby, sell it."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He wanted to say, the door is not broken, but your house is poor, and the patches on the four walls can't cover the holes. If bad guys come, how can a door stop them?
Moreover, there are no thieves in the slums to steal houses because thieves generally live in slums.
But seeing that the little dragon was really pitiful and lovable, the young man said nothing and turned around and went back home.
Gu Lin sat on the ground, motionless, wiping his tears from the fat tail he was holding.
Soon, the young man came back with more tools in his hands.
The young man said: "Don't be sad, little dragon, I will help you put the door back on."
When Gu Lin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the little brother and nodded his head.
He quickly got up from the ground, got on all fours, and stood aside obediently.
The young man was good at doing things with his hands, and he quickly helped Gu Lin reinstall the door. He installed it sturdily and securely, and this time there was no need to worry about it being blown down by the wind.
Gu Lin raised his paw and patted the newly installed door. There was originally a big hole on the door, which was also patched up by the little brother with a piece of iron sheet.
Gu Lin: "Thank you, little brother."
Seeing that the little dragon was finally happy, the little brother rubbed his little head and let him go back to sleep.
Gu Lin's stomach was rumbling uncontrollably.
The little brother was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
Gu Lin lowered his head in embarrassment.
The little brother: "Tomorrow is the Day of Grace. His Royal Highness the little prince will come to the slums to give out porridge in person. Don't sleep in tomorrow. I will take you there. If you go too late, you will have to wait in line for a long time."
Gu Lin's eyes lit up when he heard it.
The next morning, in order to be at the front of the line, Gu Lin woke up early and didn't sleep in at all in order to eat.
The little brother dressed Gu Lin in a little dinosaur costume, covering his head and body, leaving only a chubby little face exposed. He looked like an ordinary spirit beast.
There are spiritual beasts in this world, and humans are used to seeing them, but there are no dragons, so it is best not to expose Gu Lin's identity as a little dragon cub.
Gu Lin looks very cute in the little dinosaur costume.
He held a rice bowl in his arms that was bigger than his face and happily followed his little brother.
