In the dark rainy night, several black shadows chased each other and rushed into a bamboo forest to kill each other.
The terrifying aftershocks of the battle bombarded the ground with holes, and the entire bamboo forest was reduced to ruins.
A disheveled black figure walked out of the bamboo forest with two babies wrapped in large cotton jackets in his arms.
"Cough cough, Miss! I'm afraid this old servant won't be able to hold on for long!"
"I saved this kid along the way, so I'll let him be your companion.”
"I will try my best to lure the enemy away. Whether you can survive in the future will depend on your own luck.”
The disheveled black shadow coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and looked at the sleeping baby girl in his arms with great reluctance.
On the baby girl's neck, there was an inconspicuous black stone necklace.
The cold wind blew, and the black shadow carried the two babies and flew away again, leaving behind a pool of red blood.
......
......
"Don't miss it! Fresh meat buns!"
"Take a look and choose if you like it.”
"Wild boar meat! Fresh wild boar meat that has just been slaughtered."
On the bustling streets of Lin Mountain City, many peddlers were enthusiastically shouting and hawking.
The bustling streets were crowded with people, and many stalls were crowded with people queuing up to buy things.
"Go away, go away!"
"Where did this beggar come from? Hurry up and get lost!”
At this moment, at the entrance of a tightly surrounded bun shop, a shop assistant was holding a broom and driving away two approaching figures.
One of the two figures was a young man with a small black stone necklace hanging around his neck.
The young man looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old with unkempt hair and dirty face. He looked a little immature.
Behind the young man was a young girl with a dusty face. She looked younger than him and appeared even more immature. At this moment, she was hiding behind the young man in fear.
"Big brother! My sister is hungry, can you let her eat two buns?”
"I can help pay off the debt! I won't eat it for free!"
Li Jingye looked at the shop assistant who was chasing them away with a broom and asked politely as he retreated with his little sister.
"A helper?"
"Get lost!"
"You're just a stinky beggar. I feel disgusted just by looking at you. Who would dare to buy buns from me after I ask you for help?”
The shop assistant with a scar on his face shouted fiercely. The broom in his hand had already smashed down on Li Jingye's head without hesitation.
With a muffled sound, Li Jingye's raised arm was hit by the broom.
The numbing pain made him gasp.
Li Jingye could have dodged the broom, but his little sister was behind him. If he dodged, her little sister would definitely be hit by the broom.
Therefore, he had to endure a broom from the shop assistant before pulling his little sister back.
"Brother! I'm not hungry!"
"Let's go quickly. As long as we find Second Grandpa, we'll have something to eat.”
Li Qiuwan, who was standing behind Li Jingye, couldn't help but console him when she saw him getting beaten up.
Her silver bell-like voice was heard by the waiter who was about to walk back to the steamed bun shop.
The shop assistant suddenly stopped and turned around to size up Li Qiuwan in surprise.
Although Li Qiuwan's face was covered in dirt, the shop assistant who had seen countless people could tell at a glance that Li Qiuwan was definitely a beauty.
This made his eyes light up, and his gaze could not help but flicker.
Li Jingye saw that the shop assistant's gaze was filled with ill intentions. He frowned and pulled his little sister away, intending to leave.
"Hey! Wait!"
"Our backyard needs someone to clean it. Don't you want to eat buns? I can give you a few for free!"
The shop assistant suddenly became extremely enthusiastic and quickly stopped Li Jingye and the other man, urging them to stay.
"No need! We're not hungry!"
Li Jingye looked at the shop assistant who had suddenly changed his attitude and immediately turned vigilant.
Although he was young and inexperienced, he had experienced many ups and downs over the years and had experienced the ups and downs of human emotions, making him more mature.
"Little brother! It was my fault just now. Don't take it to heart.”
"To tell you the truth, cleaning the backyard is my mission. It's just that I have something to do later and won't have time to clean it.”
"The two of you, just do me a favor. I'll treat you to some buns and we'll be friends for mutual benefit.”
The shop assistant gave a fawning smile and once again stopped Li Jingye and the other man who were about to leave.
Before Li Jingye could refuse, the waiter continued,""I heard from that little girl just now that you're looking for someone?”
"This Lin Mountain City isn't big, but it's not small either. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack if you want to find someone in a sea of people.”
"You might not know that there are many gangs in Linshan City. If you barge in or accidentally offend someone, you might lose your life at any time.”
"So, listen to my advice. How about you do me a favor? Just treat it as making friends!"
"If you want to find someone, just tell me. I can ask my friends in the city to help inquire.”
The shop assistant went forward enthusiastically and put his arm around Li Jingye's shoulder as if he was a close friend.
"Gululu"
At this moment, Li Qiuwan's stomach rumbled.
"Look! Your sister's stomach is growling with hunger!”
"You don't have to eat, but you can't starve your little sister!”
"Let's go! Little sister, I'll take you to eat buns!"
The shop assistant complained to Li Jingye with a smile before reaching out to hold Li Qiuwan's hand.
However, Li Jingye's hand was faster. He grabbed the waiter's hand with a backhand.
"Are you sure you can get a few buns just by helping you clean the yard?”
"Aiya! 'I'm sure, I'm sure. Why is this little brother so stubborn and so untrusting?'”
The waiter was surprised by Li Jingye's backhand grab, but he still nodded and replied with a warm expression.
The waiter did not give Li Jingye any time to react and dragged him towards the bun shop.
"Let's go! I'll take you guys to eat buns first. Later, you guys can help me clean the courtyard, and we'll be even.”
The waiter skillfully led the two of them through the crowded front yard and arrived at the empty backyard of the bun shop.
The waiter did not go back on his word and paid Li Jingye five meat buns in advance.
Then, he began to beat around the bush, wanting to ask about the detailed background of the two of them.
However, Li Jingye was cautious and did not reveal too much information.
Seeing that Li Jingye was so wary of him, the shop assistant changed his target to Li Qiuwan.
In the end, he took a token from Li Qiuwan and left under the pretext of helping her find someone.
"Why did you give him the token that First Grandfather gave us?”
Li Jingye frowned and asked his little sister beside him in a reproachful tone.
"Brother! We've been searching the city for many days!”
"Before First Grandfather died, he asked us to come to the mountain city to seek refuge with Second Grandfather, but we don't know where Second Grandfather is.”
"Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, it's better to ask the shop assistant to help look for it.”
Li Qiuwan lowered her head and replied, leaving Li Jingye speechless.
Even so, he still felt that the shop assistant had ulterior motives and could not be completely trusted.
"You can eat the rest of the buns!”
"Leave the sweeping to me!"
In the end, Li Jingye did not dwell on the issue of the token. Instead, he wolfed down a bun and left the rest to his little sister.
"Brother! I'm not hungry. I can't eat that much!"
"Be good! After I finish eating the buns, you can just watch me sweep the floor.”
"Brother! There are too many buns. Why don't we eat them together?”
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry. I'm not hungry after eating."
