However, the people in the slums were already used to this cruel scene.
Just like the managers of the Sugu Posthouse, they didn't treat these guys in the slums as humans. Even these people in the slums didn't have such awareness. They just lived muddle-headedly.
Lin Yu held two bamboo tubes in his hands. Like an agile fish, he relied on his size advantage and agile movements to shuttle through the crowd.
Walking in the crowd was like walking into a forest made of people.
The crowded and messy legs were constantly moving, and all kinds of sour and rotten smells mixed in the air. There was also a faint smell of blood.
Lin Yu's face was indifferent to these harsh environments.
Enduring the harsh environment was a must for living in the slums.
Now, even if a trampled corpse was placed in front of Lin Yu, he could calmly step over it.
Lin Yu had seen too many deaths in the slums.
After some effort, Lin Yu squeezed out of the crowd. The bamboo tube in his hand was already filled with steaming porridge.
"Did anything happen?"
When they returned to the stall, Ikoma and Chuying were like two little tigers, vigilantly looking around, guarding the herbs on the stall.
"Nothing happened, coo!"
Ikuma shook her head. As she spoke, a hungry growl came from her stomach.
Like a chain effect, Chuying's stomach began to growl. The siblings were really in sync.
Chuying subconsciously covered her lower abdomen and looked at Lin Yu, who had a smile on his face. Her fair face was a little red.
"Brother Lin Yu, stop looking. You'd better eat quickly.”
Lin Yu sat beside the stall and didn't bother to be polite with the siblings. He directly picked up a bamboo tube and started eating.
It was said that the children of poor families would take care of their families early. Ikoma and Hatsuying were much more mature and sensible than their peers in the slums.
They also knew how dangerous it was to get porridge.
Every time the crowd dispersed, they had seen badly mutilated corpses on the ground.
Lin Yu's actions of protecting and taking care of them made them feel more or less guilty.
If Lin Yu didn't eat first, they definitely wouldn't eat. In fact, they just wanted Lin Yu to eat more.
In front of them, Lin Yu quickly finished the porridge in one bamboo tube and handed the other bamboo tube to the siblings, who were looking forward to it.
Although it was called plain porridge, it tasted almost no different from water.
After going to the toilet twice, it would probably be completely digested.
The siblings took the bamboo tube and each drank half of it. The lunch ended just like that.
This was the life in the slums. Keiko's family lived quite well in the slums.
Although they didn't have enough to eat, they wouldn't starve to death. After all, Lin Yu still had some small businesses to supplement the family.
After tidying up the stall, Lin Yu looked at the scattered crowd and felt a little disappointed.
It seemed like there wouldn't be anyone who would come to buy herbs because they were injured from snatching porridge today.
"The two of you should go back and rest. I'll be fine here in the afternoon.”
As he spoke, Lin Yu prepared to let Ikuma and Hatsukura go back. There was no need for the three of them to guard a small stall and waste their energy.
"Come on, Lin Yu, I've been cooped up at home for a few days already, and I've been out a few times already. Let me stay here with you today, okay?”
Chu Ying said with a smile. She hugged Lin Yu's arm in her arms and smiled brightly.
Her big, watery eyes were narrowed into two crescent moons, and her two little canine teeth were inadvertently exposed, making her look exceptionally cute.
Although she was still young, with Chuying's appearance, she would definitely be a beauty when she grew up.
"Brother Ikuma, you should go back first. We'll come back after we close the stall in the afternoon.”
Without waiting for Lin Yu to agree, Chuying pretended to be old and started to order him to leave. Ikoma shrugged helplessly and scratched his head.
"Alright, alright. I'll go back now, okay?”
Looking at the helpless look on Ikuma's face, Lin Yu reached out and flicked Chuying's smooth forehead. He didn't know why this little girl was so clingy. The sun was so bright, couldn't she go back and rest?
After Ikuma left, the crowd gradually dispersed. It was noon, and the hawkers who were still outside had moved to a shady place.
The gradually rising temperature made people feel hot and sleepy at the same time.
Chuying, the little girl who said she wanted to stay, was about to fall asleep by Lin Yu's side not long after.
Lin Yu looked at Chuying's innocent appearance and smiled faintly. He placed the wooden knife on his knee and began to meditate as if it was morning.
For a swordsman, aside from wielding the sword and meditating, it was also very important.
As for whether someone would take the opportunity to steal the herbs, that was even more nonsense. Lin Yu's perception would be sharper than usual when he was meditating. He could even sense someone approaching from afar, let alone stealing.
