The little girl couldn't imagine what kind of existence he was who could give so much food to a humble slave at will.
In her mind, slaves are no different from animals. They are the most despised things by their masters and can be humiliated and trampled on at will.
But today, his brother actually said that there is an adult who is willing to give fine food to these servants.
Isn't it considered that the master has done his best to reward some leftovers? How have you ever heard of someone randomly rewarding such fine food?
This is simply incredible.
At this moment, the little girl was in a daze. She suddenly felt that the brother in front of her seemed to have become stranger and taller.
This huge gap makes the little girl even dare not look directly at each other.
Xiao Que didn't notice the change in his little sister. He skillfully tore off the wheat cake and stuffed it into his little sister's mouth.
The wheat cakes were crisp and sweet, filling the little girl's taste buds instantly, making her intoxicated instantly.
She had never tasted such a wonderful taste. The food she had eaten before was either vulgar and unpalatable, or had a fishy and stench.
But today, the wheat cakes her brother brought her were so delicious that she wanted to swallow them with her tongue, as if her whole heart was soaked in a warm and happy ocean. She couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy this.
A rare delicacy.
The little sister stopped being pretentious and wolfed down all the wheat cakes. At the end, she even licked her dirt-stained palms clean. Seeing this scene, Xiao Que was both pleased and distressed.
"Little sister, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Xiaoque rubbed his little sister's head lovingly. He pushed several pieces of wheat cakes in front of the little girl and motioned for her to eat as much as she wanted. Then he picked up the bamboo basket and prepared to go into the house to send some wheat cakes to comfort the injured old man.
.
The little girl looked at Xiao Que's busy back with mixed emotions in her heart. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Since my brother has decided to change his destiny, he must pay a hundred times the sweat, tears and hardships of ordinary people."
"And as his only relative, how can I drag him down?"
The little girl clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind.
On the other side, Xiao Que walked straight into the house. As soon as he walked into the door, he saw the room was dark, and the old man was leaning against the wall, staring at the ground dimly.
The old man's clothes were torn and he looked quite shabby and downcast. When he heard the footsteps, he opened his hazy eyes, then glanced over and immediately fell on the bamboo basket in Xiao Que's hand.
The old man struggled to sit up, but due to severe pain all over his body, he could only hold on.
Several years of wandering allowed him to conclude at a glance that the bamboo basket contained food.
For a moment, surprise, doubt and ecstasy surged into his heart. The old man's breathing became rapid, his throat wriggled twice with difficulty, and he finally couldn't help asking in a trembling voice:
"You...you...this..."
It's not that the old man is greedy, it's just that he has been hungry for too long. Every day, he feels like chewing wax to fill his stomach. The taste is unbearable for most people. But today, he suddenly learned that he can actually eat such delicious food.
He really couldn't control his inner excitement.
Xiao Que squatted down with a smile. He opened the bamboo basket and immediately revealed a basket full of wheat cakes. Although the old man had never eaten it, he understood what it meant.
When the cover of the bamboo basket was opened, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and a dazzling look burst out from his originally gray pupils. He stared blankly at the basket full of food, and was speechless for a long time.
, could only keep mumbling and whispering.
"This...this...is too expensive!"
The old man stretched out his skinny arm and gently touched the basket full of wheat cakes. Only then was he convinced that it was not a fake but a genuine wheat cake.
At this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil, and he burst into tears.
"Little brother, it was me who harmed you. If I hadn't persuaded that evil beast, how could you have fallen into the situation you are in today? How could I accept such a heavy gift from you for these foods? How can I be such a bad old man?
Yes, I can’t afford it!”
Xiaoque shook his head and answered seriously.
"Old man, there is no need to blame yourself. If you hadn't helped me, how would my little sister and I have been together? Although it is indeed a pity to be separated from the children, but knowing that their lives are safe, how can I care about so much? These foods, old
Sir, please accept it."
The old man looked at the person in front of him. After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke slowly.
"That's all, since that's the case, I'll accept it shamelessly."
As he said that, the old man was not polite. He picked up a wheat cake and threw it into his mouth. A strong aroma of wheat exploded in his mouth instantly. It was an ultimate sense of happiness. He couldn't stop chewing at all.
speed.
When Xiao Que saw this, he was slightly startled and couldn't help but laugh.
While eating, the old man muttered in vague words:
"By the way, little brother, are you planning to go to Duke Xuande?"
"Huh? How did the old gentleman know?"
Xiao Que was a little surprised. He still followed Wei Ming's decision on this matter and didn't reveal the slightest news to the others.
The old man wiped away the wheat residue that spilled from the corner of his mouth and smiled:
"As soon as I mentioned Mr. Xuande, you had a strange look on your face, so you came up with this guess."
"Xuan De Gong was a strange man in the world, with unparalleled talents. He occupied the land of Jing, and the people all followed his virtue. However, he was born at the wrong time. Now the world has been decided. Cao Mengde monopolizes eight of the thirteen states, while Xuande Gong only has four.
The land of the county is not even a state, it is just struggling to death, what is the little brother doing to find him?"
The old man sighed, obviously not optimistic about Liu Bei's future, and hoped that Xiaoque could leave Jingtu.
The old man's words made Xiao Que slightly startled. He didn't expect that this old man knew so many things. Not only that, he actually commented on Xuande Gong, which was not something ordinary people could do.
After thinking about it, Xiao Que couldn't help but probe:
"Old sir, who are you? Why do you know Mr. Xuande so well?"
When the old gentleman heard this, he laughed:
"I'm just a peasant savage, how can I talk about my identity?"
"It's just that I have been observing Jingtu for a long time. I have already seen how powerful this Xuande Gong is. This man is a hero. It's a pity that times make heroes. Now the time is ripe, and he can no longer make a comeback.
Chance."
At the end of the sentence, the old man's eyes flashed with wisdom, as if he had seen through something. He patted Xiao Que's shoulder with a smile and continued:
"Little brother, you are a kind and simple person. I don't want you to get involved in these disputes. Please stay away from this place now."
After hearing what the old man said, the expression on Xiao Que's face gradually solidified. He was silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly:
"Thank you sir for reminding me, I'm just not afraid of trouble."
The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, but Xiao Que had insisted, so he couldn't say anything. After all, he met Xiao Que by chance and was not qualified to tell him anything.
"Oh...that's all. If that's the case, then I won't force it anymore."
"But since you have been sincere to me twice and donated food to me, I don't think it's better to hide it."
The old man rubbed his face vigorously with his palms, as if he wanted to wipe away the oil on his face. Soon, under Xiao Que's shocked gaze, the makeup fell off his face.
But in the blink of an eye, he changed from a dying old man to a sturdy man with a black face and a short beard. Although his face was a bit rough, his face had sharp edges and sharp eyebrows, giving him a powerful and domineering look.
Sense of impact.
"Old...father-in-law, you...who are you?"
Xiao Que was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
