Although the two men were dressed in rags, fortunately there was no strange smell. They came to the door of the restaurant and took a look at the clothes of the people sitting inside.
An Jingzhi raised his foot and wanted to walk inside.
Xiaobai was so frightened that he quickly pulled his sleeve to the side.
"Brother Jing, what are you doing? We don't have money to pay the bill. If we go in so suddenly, we might get beaten out." Xiaobai was still in shock. Obviously, he had had such an experience before.
"Let go, let go, why are you pulling me? How come you have such strong hands?" He looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, how come he is stronger than him?
Xiaobai obediently let go and looked at him with a worried look, as if observing whether the other party had suddenly gone crazy.
"Brother Jing, how about we not have the big meal?" He said it cautiously, worried about irritating the other party.
An Jingzhi felt a little amused and wanted to pat his head. His hand was placed just one centimeter above his head. Looking at the black and messy hair, he thought that there might be lice in it. He was about to withdraw his hand when he saw that the other party was looking at him with admiration. It was obvious that he really regarded him as an elder brother.
Finally, the hands landed on Xiaobai's head. An Jingzhi patted his head without complaining. "I'm fine. I'm not crazy. Just follow me. I'll make sure you have a good meal today."
Xiaobai was still a little worried, and pulled the other person's sleeves with both hands, "Brother Jing, there are people from the East Factory inside." He said the word "East Factory" very quietly, afraid that the people inside would hear it.
There was no one from the East Factory inside, so he didn't go there yet. An Jingzhi walked around the street for a long time, just looking for this person.
It turned out that Liu Qianhua was promoted and reused because he found the original owner.
An Jingzhi had a lot of interactions with the original owner, so he remembered this face.
As An Jing stepped into the hall, Xiaobai looked at him worriedly, looking anxious, then gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.
Liu Qianhua felt someone next to him and looked up, only to find it was a little beggar. He was about to cover his nose when he realized that the other person didn't have any smell, but he still felt a little disgusted.
"Get out! Is this the place you should be? Do you have any money?"
An Jingzhi glanced at him with a look of fear on his face. "I have something," and then he took out a jade pendant that he had hidden in his chest. It was not a good kind of jade, but just the lowest grade.
Looking at the shopkeeper who came over after hearing the noise, he said, "Shopkeeper, can I exchange this for something to eat?"
The shopkeeper first looked at Liu Qianhua and then looked at them and said, "Go away. This is not a pawnshop, we don't exchange things." Then he looked at Liu Qianhua with a smile, "Don't be angry, sir, I will chase them away right away."
Then he winked at An Jingzhi and the other man while chasing them away.
Seeing the two people being driven away by the shopkeeper, Liu Qianhua suddenly felt a little sympathy.
"Stop." Then he took the two steamed buns on the table and threw them to the other person, "Come and sit down, eat."
The shopkeeper glanced at An Jingzhi and couldn't figure out what Liu Qianhua was thinking, so he could only let the two of them sit down.
An Jingzhi sat down and handed the jade pendant to the other party, "My mother said that you can't take other people's things casually."
Xiaobai, who was sitting aside and didn't dare to look up at Liu Qianhua, had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard this. He felt something was strange about what An Jingzhi said.
The two of them have been begging for half a month. Doesn't this count as taking other people's things without permission?
If An Jingzhi could hear it, he would probably reply to him. Of course, this doesn't count. He spent his emotions and satisfied the spiritual needs of the person being begged. It was a business transaction.
Besides, it wasn't him who did it. It was the original owner who begged for it.
"No need, eat, eat." He sighed and was about to move his eyes away from the jade pendant.
Suddenly, he stood still as if struck by lightning. Then he stretched out his hand and snatched the jade pendant from the other person's hand, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
Then he suddenly took out a piece of paper from his chest and compared it carefully with the pattern on the jade pendant. The look in his eyes became more and more solemn, and then ecstatic.
The character "An" in the jade pendant is exactly the same as the character "An" on the jade pendant on his drawing!
That’s great, after going through so many twists and turns that you think there’s no way out, there’s another village ahead!
After giving the jade pendant, An Jingzhi started eating the steamed buns with vegetables without any hesitation, and greeted Xiaobai like a host, telling him not to be polite.
Xiaobai didn't dare to eat at first, but thinking that they were in the current situation and had already provoked the boss of the East Factory, he decided to eat. Even if he died, he would die with a full stomach. After thinking it through, he also wolfed down the delicacies on the table like An Jingzhi.
Only the shopkeeper standing by looked at Liu Qianhua, whose expression kept changing, in fear, fearing that the two little beggars would annoy each other.
"Pa" Liu Qianhua slapped his hand on the table, which scared Xiaobai and even choked him. He rolled his eyes because of the choking.
An Jingzhi patted his back quickly and gave him a few sips of tea, and only then did he catch his breath.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. Who's going to snatch it from you? If you really choked to death, and the King of Hell asks you how you died, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say you choked to death?"
After a while, Xiaobai replied with lingering fear, "I'm fine, Brother Jing." He was experienced in eating and knew how to eat the most food as quickly as possible. If he had not been frightened by the man from the East Factory in front of him, how could he have choked?
But he couldn't blame the other person unless he wanted to die.
Liu Qianhua was also startled by this sudden scene. If he hadn't seen that the little beggar was with the man opposite who was suspected to be the son of the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man, he would not have bothered to wait for so long.
Seeing that the person was fine, Liu Qianhua looked at An Jingzhi steadily, not missing any of the emotions in the other's eyes.
He said in a serious tone, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
An Jingzhi replied, "My mother gave it to me."
"Are you sure? You didn't steal it, did you?" Liu Qianhua asked.
After all, the other party was just a little beggar, so it was not surprising that he did some sneaky things.
An Jingzhi frowned, as if offended. "How could I possibly steal something? This is something my mother gave me. She told me to take it to the capital to find my father, but I've been looking for it for half a year and still can't find it. The jade pendant isn't worth much anyway, so I figured I might as well exchange it for a meal. Even if I die, I'd rather die well-fed."
Liu Qianhua's breathing suddenly became rapid, and then he stood up suddenly, grabbed An Jingzhi's arm, and before the other party could struggle, he let go immediately.
If he were to be brought before an adult and confirm that the little beggar in front of him was really the adult's son, then he would surely be hated by the other party for offending him so much.
Liu Qianhua's tone became gentle, "To be honest with you, young master, I may know where your father is, but I need you to come with me."
The change in the other party's attitude was so shocking that not only the restaurant owner but even Xiaobai widened his eyes.
