The thin figure quietly walked into the chicken coop, stretched out an arm that looked like a hemp pole, and pulled the chicken coop with his little hand, grabbing two eggs.
The moment he got the egg, his breathing quickened, he couldn't help but swallow, and even his stomach began to protest.
Without further delay, he kicked the two eggs into his arms and turned around to leave, but he didn't notice the old hen lying in the chicken coop staring at him fiercely.
The golden eyes radiate a light that is more ferocious than a poisonous snake. Such eyes are not something that a chicken can have.
Just when the thin little boy came closer, the hen saw his face clearly, and her hatred rushed to the top of her head, wishing to kill the boy on the spot.
But it is a chicken now and can do nothing but lay eggs every day.
It tried to escape, but after being discovered by the owner of the family, all the feathers on its wings were clipped and its ankles were tied.
He hated it so much that he couldn't do anything about it.
I could only stare at the boy's back unwillingly and disappear from sight.
The boy quietly came to the low wall and quickly climbed up the wall.
Just as he was about to run away, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a chubby little boy walked out of it. It seemed that he was coming out for convenience.
It was very unfortunate that he saw the thin boy on the wall at a glance.
The two children were stunned at the same time. The boy on the wall reacted immediately and quickly climbed over the wall and jumped outside.
The boy standing at the door saw him running away, so he immediately held back his urine and ran after him without hesitation.
The two men started a chase on the street.
While chasing the boy, he shouted:
"Little Rongzi, I know it's you. Stop here. Are you coming to my house again to steal eggs? You little thief, give me the eggs back."
The boy in front kept running forward without saying a word, but he couldn't outrun the boy behind him.
Having suffered from hunger for a long time, he didn't even have the strength to run out, so he had to hold on for dear life.
The child behind him chased him too closely and ran too fast. He caught him quickly and threw him against the wall. He quickly bullied him and suppressed the thin boy.
"You thief, give me the eggs back."
The skinny little boy had no expression on his face, staring blankly at the boy pressing him.
"Ah ha, you stole my things, why are you okay? What's that look in your eyes? I'm telling you, if you don't give it back to me, I'll beat you all over the place. Believe it or not."
The skinny little boy sneered silently, without saying a word, but he fully showed his dissatisfaction.
The little fat man holding him down raised his fist and threatened:
"Not convinced?"
"Yes, I'm not convinced."
"Okay, if you don't accept it, let's fight. If you can beat me, I won't take the egg."
The thin boy said nothing.
"What, are you scared?"
"You are thinking too much."
"If you're not afraid, why don't you dare agree?"
"I'm hungry."
Obviously, he meant that he was too hungry and had no energy to fight.
"Tch! I see you mean you can beat me when you're full. Well, you can eat now and fight me when you're full. Don't say I'm bullying you then."
The thin boy didn't move.
"Move, go eat, you are the one."
"No money."
"..." Yes, yes, he was really confused. As for Le Jinrong, a beggar no one wanted, even if he had money, he couldn't come to his house to steal eggs.
But, who can say he is kind-hearted? Before fighting, he always makes the other party well fed.
"Wait for me." The boy said and ran away, heading straight to the bun shop not far away.
Even though it's still not bright yet, the breakfast shop is already open.
The boy went there and bought three steaming meat buns. After a while, he ran back and stuffed the buns to him.
"Eat. If you fight me after eating, I'll beat you until your teeth are all over the floor."
The thin boy felt the warm meat buns in his arms and couldn't recover for a while.
"Eat, what are you doing in such a daze?"
The thin boy stared at the snow-white and soft meat buns in his arms, always feeling a sense of déjà vu.
Deep in my memory, there seems to have been a fat face that looked similar to a meat bun.
He wanted to see that face clearly, but there seemed to be a thick layer of fog in front of him. He searched through his memories and couldn't clearly see what she looked like.
The boy had a headache. Not only did he have a headache, but it felt like the skin all over his body was being torn.
A wanton evil smile echoed in his brain.
"Le Jinrong, watch her carefully. I'm going to skin her and cut her into pieces today."
He heard the sound of skin being torn open and smelled the smell of blood.
The meat buns in front of him became increasingly blurry, and he saw a skinned and bloody man lying on the ground. It was so ugly that it made his whole body numb.
The thin little boy was shivering all over. His weak body staggered and almost fell, but fortunately his back hit the wall.
The feeling of suffocation made him take a deep breath, and the sweat on his forehead made his messy hair wet.
The skinny hands had blue blood vessels clearly visible.
His sudden abnormality frightened the other boy.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you going to starve to death?"
"You should eat quickly. If you don't eat, you will really die."
As he said that, he grabbed a meat bun and stuffed it into the other person's mouth without any explanation.
"Eat, eat quickly. After eating, you won't be hungry and you will have strength. If you are worried that I will beat you, then why don't I give up the eggs?"
The sweet taste of flour could be tasted in his mouth, and the skinny little boy felt even hungrier.
The inexplicable images in my mind receded quickly like the tide.
One moment he was suffocated and almost died, but the next moment he no longer felt sad.
He took a bite of the meat bun that was stuffed into his mouth, and the sweetness of the flour mixed with the delicious flavor of the meat exploded in his mouth.
In all his life, he has never eaten such fresh meat buns.
I couldn't wait to chew it and finished the meat bun in a short time.
"Hey, I knew you were hungry. Hurry up and eat the remaining two. Treat them as my treat today. As for the eggs...I just said I don't want them, so I'll give them to you.
Oh, you are so pitiful. You have no father or mother and you are a disaster. If you don’t steal something to eat, you will starve to death..."
He rambled a lot, but saw that the skinny kid didn't say a word and had no intention of eating the remaining buns.
"Why don't you eat?"
The thin boy pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at the fat boy.
He is obviously just a thin child, dressed in rags, a beggar who makes a living by begging and stealing, but his cold glance can actually make people fear him.
"You, why do you look at me like that?"
The thin boy didn't say anything, he lowered his head to look at the bun in his arms.
He swallowed, endured his hunger, stuffed the meat buns into his arms, and planned to leave without saying a word.
Seeing his attitude, the other child quit.
"I asked you, do you know how to be polite? I didn't care if you stole my eggs, and even treated you to meat buns. Why didn't you even say thank you?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you."
No matter what he said, the boy had no intention of paying attention to him.
He was immersed in his own world, and what he was thinking about was that he must save more food. When he had enough food, he would leave Lingzhou City and go to the cultivation world in the north.
He didn't know why, but his intuition told him that the world of cultivation was where he should stay, and there seemed to be someone there waiting for him to return.
He walked very fast and was about to disappear.
The boy behind him had an angry face and pointed at him angrily:
"Le Jinrong, little Rongzi, stop here. For such an rude guy like you, I will give you a slap so that you can never come to my house to steal eggs again next time."
