Following the little guy's lead, they came to the town again. However, they did not stop in the town. Instead, they kept shuttling through some winding alleys. As they went deeper and deeper, the surrounding buildings became more and more dilapidated. They only stopped when they completely entered a place that looked like a slum.
Looking at the dilapidated buildings around him, Yang Siyuan finally understood why the little guy wanted to eat raw pork. It was because this place was too poor. It was simply a place where birds did not shit and rats did not spend the night.
"That's my home." The little guy pointed at the most dilapidated house on the edge. However, when Yang Siyuan went in, he found out that the house was no longer a house. Except for two intact walls, the rest of the house was built with a few big trees leaning against the walls and covered with straw.
There was only one bed in the room, and on it lay a sick old man. There was also a pile of hay at one end of the bed, which was probably where the little guy slept at night.
"Ahem."
"Grandma!"
Little Tian saw the old man coughing and quickly ran over to help him up. He patted the old man's back and picked up a big bowl full of medicine from the side. He carefully brought it to the old man's mouth.
"Grandma, drink the medicine. We already have money. I bought you the best medicine.”
"Ahem, child, it's useless. Don't spend money anymore. My illness can't be cured.”The old man said slowly with a trembling voice.
"No, Grandma, I'll definitely cure you. You're my only family.”The little guy cried.
"Child, who is this?" The old man asked when he saw Yang Siyuan standing beside him.
" He is..." Seeing that the child didn't know how to answer, Yang Siyuan said," I am looking at..."
" Cough cough, you..." Before Yang Siyuan finished his words, he heard the little guy cough. Yang Siyuan glanced at the little guy and knew that the little guy didn't want his grandma to know about his suffering outside.
"I saw that he was still out alone so late at night, so I sent him back.”Yang Siyuan quickly corrected himself.
"Oh, thank you. There are still many good people. Sigh, pity my child.”
"Grandma, where are his parents?" Yang Siyuan looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.
"Sigh!"
A long sigh pulled the old grandma's thoughts back to a few years ago. She stroked her grandson's head lovingly and slowly told Yang Siyuan about the past...
It turned out that the old grandmother's family of four used to live very happily. Her son and daughter-in-law usually did some small business and lived a good life. Until one day, the leader of a small gang nearby took a fancy to his daughter-in-law and even snatched her into the gang. His son was furious and went to reason with them. He did not expect to be beaten to death. After being humiliated, his daughter-in-law hanged herself. The old grandmother went to fight them in grief and was beaten up with internal injuries. She didn't expect to implicate her young grandson in the end. She had no choice but to leave her hometown and beg for food with her grandson.
Unexpectedly, when she came to this small town, the old grandma's condition worsened. She had no choice but to find such a place to temporarily hide from the wind and rain.
However, once she collapsed, the old lady could no longer get up. As a result, taking care of the old lady and her three meals a day fell on the young grandson.
In order to survive, for the three meals a day, the little guy first begged on the street. When he couldn't get food, the little guy thought of ways to steal and rob. In short, he didn't let the old lady starve. However, every time the little guy came back, he would get injured. The old lady also felt pain in her heart when she saw it.
However, it was gratifying that the little guy was very smart. Although no one had ever taught him spatial skills, in order to survive and steal food for the old lady, the little guy had self-taught and created a set of wall-passing skills. However, the old lady could not explain the principle behind it. Yang Siyuan thought that it was probably something like spatial travel.
The old grandma's story was told very late. The little guy had already fallen asleep by the bed. Yang Siyuan and the old grandma chatted until dawn. Yang Siyuan got up and said goodbye. He didn't expect the little guy to wake up at this time.
Silently sending Yang Siyuan to the door, the little guy said,"Thank you."”
Yang Siyuan smiled but didn't say anything. He just rubbed the little guy's head and walked away.
At this moment, the little guy looked at Yang Siyuan who was about to disappear into the alley and shouted," My name is Ice Sword. I will repay you in the future."”After saying that, the little guy turned around and ran.
Yang Siyuan looked at the disappearing ice sword with a smile before turning around and disappearing.
The weather today was very gloomy. The thick dark clouds made it difficult for people to breathe. Yang Siyuan, who was walking on the road, looked at the rainy weather and thought, I have to find a place to shelter from the rain.”
Just as Yang Siyuan was looking for a place to hide, bean-sized raindrops started to fall, accompanied by a strong wind. Yang Siyuan had no choice but to follow them to a nearby hall to take shelter.
This was a hall that looked like a temple. Inside, a burly man holding a sharp weapon was worshiped. Just as Yang Siyuan was looking at the surrounding arrangements, a few sharp voices suddenly entered his ears.
"All of you listen up. This shop is dedicated to my sect master. Since you came here to hide from the rain, you have to pay a fee. 20 space coins per person.”
"What is it? 20 interspatial coins!"
A few people who seemed to be doing business exclaimed.
"20, quick, not a single bit less.”After saying that, they began to collect money from the dozen or so people who were sheltering from the rain.
Touching the few space coins left in his pocket, Yang Siyuan clenched his fists tightly.
"Sir, I really don't have any money."
Suddenly, an old voice entered Yang Siyuan's ears. Looking closely, it was an old woman and a little girl about thirteen years old. They were kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Didn't you see what's written here? To benefit the people and support the people?”
"Since you're doing this for the people, why would your granddaughter charge money?”
A few commoners who seemed to be locals said.
"Cut the f * cking crap. Blessing doesn't cost money. Hurry up and give it to us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude.”After saying that, he reached out to snatch the money from the old woman.
"Ah!"
"Pa."
When his hand was one centimeter away from the old woman, a fair hand grabbed his hand like a steel clamp.
