Just when Yan Bao was hesitating whether to eat or not, he suddenly heard a noise.
Que Ye and the others were struggling excitedly, supporting each other to stand up, watching the carriage carrying rotten water pass by, and each of them excitedly followed with their broken bowls in hand.
Seeing Yan Bao standing there in a daze, Master Que called out to her, "What are you standing there for? Run! If you run away, you won't be able to eat the leftovers from the palace!"
Yan Bao: “…”
It’s better not to eat these leftovers!
In order to blend in with this group of beggars, Yan Bao had no choice but to follow them.
When they were out of breath from running, they saw that Yan Bao didn't even take a breath, so they all gave her their broken bowls and said, "Go and get some food quickly. Whether we can have enough tonight depends on you!"
With such an important task, Yan Bao will definitely not let them down.
When Yan Bao approached in beggar's attire, there were already quite a few beggars surrounding him. Each of them was much stronger than Que Ye and the others. As soon as the rotten water bucket from the palace came out, they couldn't wait to pounce on it.
After being beaten by the man who filled the rotten water, everyone retreated obediently. When his wooden barrel was full, the remaining money was one penny per bowl. If you didn't have money, you couldn't even drink the rotten water.
There are both meat and vegetables, as well as chicken bones and fish bones. Occasionally, we can also eat chicken heads, fish heads, duck heads, duck butts, etc. that the masters don’t want.
Yan Bao watched them take out money one after another. She had spent her only two cents and now she had no money left.
Fortunately, when it was her turn, Que Ye and the others caught up and stuffed three cents into Yan Bao's pocket. They used the three cents they had snatched from Yan Bao in the afternoon to buy three large bowls of sour water.
Someone else stared at Yan Bao: "Hey, Master Que, why are you old men carrying a blind man? Where did he come from? Is he the assassin that the prince wants to catch?"
Yan Bao paused: [Do you really have to be so accurate?]
How did I get exposed?
Just when Yan Bao was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, Que Ye said with a smile: "Yes, assassin, go and report to the palace guards and ask them to arrest him. We will share the reward!"
Some people were not fooled: "Bah, you old man, you have a very bad heart. If it was really an assassin, you would have exposed it long ago. How could it be our turn? Besides, the assassin is a girl, and you, a blind man, just look at her as an ugly thing."
"Boy, why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"
"Haha, you little dumb boy, blind and dumb, no wonder you're hanging around with a bunch of old fools!"
Yan Bao was pushed around by them, and some even tried to snatch their food. Que Ye protected Yan Bao behind him and bared his teeth at them: "If you dare to bully my grandson again, I will bite you to death."
When Que Ye gets angry, others are afraid of him. You have to know that when Que Ye was young, he was invincible in this area and could beat all the beggars. Now that he is older, he is not as arrogant as before, so everyone gives him face.
Yan Bao looked at the old beggar in front of him with mixed feelings.
When they returned to their previous place, the five of them shared three bowls of sour water.
When it came to Yan Bao, there were still quite a few left.
Yan Bao looked at their broken bowls. There was only a little bit of food in them, which was all rotten water, vegetable leaves, chicken bones, a little rice, steamed buns, cake crumbs, etc., all in her bowl.
Seeing Yan Bao not eating, Que Ye said, "You are still young, eat more to grow up. We are old, and every day we can eat is a day. It's not a lot to eat, as long as we don't starve to death."
Yan Bao: “…”
For some reason, that kind of unspeakable sadness made Yan Bao feel overwhelmed.
[You guys mean well, but I really can't eat it! ]
In order not to waste food, Yan Bao gave them his share and pointed to his stomach to indicate that he was not hungry.
Que Ye and the others thought that Yan Bao was showing filial piety to them, but they had no idea that Yan Bao couldn't eat it.
The thought that all this was for feeding pigs made her lose her appetite.
She was just here to beg for three days, not a real beggar.
Even so, the four old beggars finished their rotten water and licked the broken bowls clean, but they were not hungry.
It was dark at this time, and there were few people on the street. The gates of the palace were all closed. Fortunately, it was not winter, so it was not cold to go out on the street.
Yan Bao curled up in the corner, counting the time with his fingers.
Only a few hours have passed, and there are still two days and hours left before the three-day trial period.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Yan Bao woke up because of hunger at night. Seeing that everyone else was asleep, she quietly got up and hid to eat three egg cakes. They were made by Tao Yuanyuan. Yan Bao hid them in her space and planned to eat them when she was hungry.
I didn't expect to be hungry right now.
I also drank a bottle of milk.
I ate a tea egg and a cucumber.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yan Bao slowly went back.
Just as I reached the resting place, someone spoke in the darkness: "Where have you been?"
Recognizing that it was Que Ye's voice, Yan Bao couldn't speak, but she could make a few sounds, and she hissed twice.
Ye Que knew she had gone to the bathroom. Seeing that everyone else was asleep, he took out the half steamed bun he had hidden in the afternoon and threw it to Yan Bao: "Eat it. Your stomach is growling late at night. It's annoying."
Yan Bao picked up half a steamed bun, and then she realized why there was only a little left when it was given to her. It turned out that half of it had been hidden. Was it because she was afraid that she would have no food to eat after the last one, so she hid it and ate it when she was hungry?
Yan Bao didn’t eat half of the steamed bun, she hid it in her space.
It's not just that I'm full, I'm also a little disgusted.
Wait until tomorrow morning and quietly give it to them as breakfast!
For the next two days, Yan Bao quietly followed the four old beggars. They also said that Yan Bao was too ugly. If he were better looking, he would definitely be able to beg for a lot of food.
She had buck teeth and was blind, and even young wives were afraid of her. Even older women thought she was unlucky, so no one wanted to talk to her.
