Green-tiled brick houses, luxurious mansions, small stalls, and all kinds of people. These scenes that had never been engraved in my mind appeared one by one. I wore a tattered coarse cloth long robe and limped through them.

"Stinky beggar, get up quickly. Don't delay my business.”

The moment I woke up, my name had already disappeared. Now, I was just an ordinary beggar who was chased away by everyone.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry." I would rather die than submit as I stood in front of the steamed bun shop, staring at the white steam coming out of the steamer. My stomach was beating against my will, and I caressed my stomach at a loss. The saliva at the corner of my lips fell unconsciously.

"Get lost. If you're hungry, give me money. If you don't have money, get lost.”

"Money, money, money, eat, I want to eat, what is money!”I stretched out my hand and placed it above the steamer to feel the satisfaction brought by the heat. I could no longer control myself. I grabbed Fatty's arm and shouted,"I want to eat, I want to eat."

Fatty saw that something was wrong and retreated. I chased after him and stared at his face. He turned his head with a look of disdain and shouted impatiently,"I've lost to you today. Let go of me and I'll take it for you!”

"Eat, eat, I want to eat.”

"Eat, I'll give it to you. Let go." Fatty flicked his hand twice in front of his eyes.

I let go of my arms in a half-understanding manner and placed my hands in front of me. I shook my head twice with a blank expression."Eat, you, eat, I, I want!”

"Here, hurry up and leave. Don't delay me here!”He quickly lifted the white cloth, grabbed a few buns, and threw them into my hand.

I raised the bun in satisfaction and looked at it again and again, but I didn't know how to eat it.

The onlookers were attracted by something and began to shout,"Quick, come and see. Even a fool doesn't know how to eat buns. How do you think she's convenient?”

" Idiot, eat the buns." I pouted and looked at the buns in my hands reluctantly. I turned my head and glanced at them, not understanding them. I stuffed the two little buns into my mouth without caring about my image. I puffed my face and shook my head hard.

"I-I-I'm not a fool. I-I-I'm not.”

"If you're not, then who is!" A woman in a red vest and black dress with her hair tied up pointed at me mockingly.

I lowered my head unwillingly and tried my best to swallow the food in my mouth."I said, I'm not. You, you're the fool.”

Upon hearing my words, the burly man standing beside him could no longer hold it in. He limped over to me and grabbed my dirty collar. He glared at me and said,"Brat, say one more thing. Who's the fool?”

"I, I said, she's a fool.”I stubbornly insisted on my own words. If I didn't protect myself in this place, who else could protect me? Don't think that I was stupid when I spoke, but there was really nothing wrong with my brain.

"Don't, don't get angry. Your faces are dark. I think you can't sleep every day. If you want to sleep well, then don't be picky and eat everything.”

"What did you say? Pick a fight." The burly man was furious. He naturally didn't understand what I said. He raised his fist and glared at the little girl who was stirring up trouble.

"Picking a fight? No, I'm talking about being picky about food.”

I still couldn't escape from his fist. My language barrier had caused me to suffer. My body leaned to the side. The food in my stomach that hadn't been digested, or rather, the food that hadn't been eaten, was spat out by me intact.

The stench that assaulted their noses was not inferior in any way as it spread in the air. They could not stand it anymore and dispersed.

"Kid, you should leave quickly! My bun shop is not a gold shop. My money is not comparable to an official. If you really want to help others solve the problem of being picky, go to the Qi Diao Prince's residence. The prince's picky eating problem is not light. Why don't you go and help him take a look?”

The fatty walked around his stall and held his nose with one hand. He tilted his body and shook his head helplessly, trying to persuade the little beggar who had been beaten up badly on the ground.

I didn't care about what he said. I half-propped myself up and climbed down the eaves.

The rain got heavier and heavier. I curled up under the eaves and observed the ripples in the puddle. This was probably the most likely thing I could do now. I was stupid, but I wouldn't deny it even if others didn't say it.

"Little beggar, get lost quickly. It's late at night and I'm going to open for business!”

"I-I-I'm not a beggar!"

"Okay, okay, okay. You're not a beggar. Hurry up and leave! When wangye comes later and sees you at the door, I can't explain. When the time comes, your life won't be up to me!”

"I-I just want to take shelter from the rain. Please have pity on me!”I lowered my eyes aggrievedly and avoided this woman who was holding a red fan in her hand, dressed in sequoia, and had makeup that no one could understand.

Seeing that I wasn't leaving, she couldn't be bothered to argue with me. She shook her butt impatiently and looked around me. I lowered my head and sat on the ground. Women can't stand people like me.

She suddenly changed her attitude and grabbed a lock of my hair in disgust."You wait, how can you be so shameless? You don't even know where this is. This is a place where the entire wangfu spends their time. If you don't listen to me, just wait for death!”

The woman shook her butt and ignored unreasonable people like me as she walked in.

The sky was getting darker and darker. I carefully estimated what the woman said. Actually, it was not without reason. I didn't even know who I was now. If I died just like that, it would be as pitiful as a newborn baby losing his life before he had even experienced it. I thought about it and decided to leave.

I walked out of the city gate dejectedly. Behind me was a feast of wine and greenery, and in front of me was darkness. I wandered around the city like a lonely ghost.

"Help, help, help!"

I didn't know how long I walked, but my figure became small in the darkness. The voices without a source came one after another. The voices rose and fell, and my nerves became haggard. I stopped in fear and stood where I was, listening carefully.

The voice became softer and softer. According to my careful analysis, the owner of the voice should be a man. I curiously stuck my head out and approached the unknown step by step.

"Save, save me."

I couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness. I could only hear a cry for help. Out of conditioned reflex and my nosy nature, I carefully bent down and tried to reach out to search.

"Save me, please, save me. I beg you!" My arm was suddenly bound, and my body retreated a little. He didn't give up and grabbed my arm.

He was very strong, but his voice was getting weaker and weaker. I crawled in his direction. His face became clear in my sight. His high nose bridge and half-opened eyes. He pulled my arm so that I couldn't break free.

"You, you, let go. I, I'll help you. Okay, okay, okay!”He obediently let go of his hand. I caressed his arm and probed it up bit by bit. It felt wet and sticky. I carefully confirmed his bleeding point, but it was too dark to see clearly. I could not be sure.

"It hurts, it hurts." He kept calling for help and crying. I grabbed his shoulder helplessly and casually pulled off the black cloth on my body. I tied his biceps without any care.

"You, you, don't be afraid. I'm here.”When he heard my voice, he probably felt that there was hope and support. He stopped crying and slowly tilted his head to the side. Finally, he fell asleep.
