When Chen Yu's life was in danger, he unleashed all his potential. His speed was abnormally higher than usual, and his whole body was like a whirlwind. He took advantage of the darkness of the night and escaped into the cold foggy forest overnight. He looked at the people behind him who were getting closer and closer.
Far away in the dense forest of cold mist, Chen Yu has not relaxed at all. The opponent is a strong man in the other side realm. The energy he possesses is unpredictable. No one knows whether he will be traced to him in the next moment. At that time, he is really called
The sky is not working and the earth is not responding.
Three days passed quickly. Chen Yu slept in the open all the way, sneaking carefully, almost taking a complicated path to escape. During the past few days, he didn't even know where he was, but he just
You know, you can only keep running forward and never stop.
At this time, the night was gradually dimming, and there were stars in the starry sky. A embarrassed figure flashed out from the grass, and then stopped and panted heavily. The soft moonlight reflected on the figure's face.
Surprisingly, it was Chen Yu who had been running for his life.
Chen Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and gradually calmed down his breathing. Until now, he no longer knew how far away he was from the cold mist dense forest. For the past three days, Chen Yu had been running as fast as he could without making any move.
After staying for a long time, he dared to take a breath, raised his head, and looked at the lights in front of him. Taking advantage of the dim night, Chen Yu discovered that it was a small town, a little smaller than Ruoshui City.
.
"I must have reached a safe area. Even if the old ghost wants to catch me, he can't trace me for a while." Chen Yu pondered again and again, feeling that there was no need to run away like this anymore, so he
Walking thinking about the town ahead.
When Chen Yu came closer, he found that this place could not be considered a city at all. It could only be regarded as a slightly larger town. At this time, most people in the town had already fallen asleep, and only a few lights were shining.
Chen Yu walked around the town and finally found a small shop in a remote corner that was not closed yet. There were only three or four tables in it, and it still looked shiny due to frequent wiping.
, revealing a simple flavor, everything inside is spotless and looks very clean.
"Waiter, if you have anything to fill your stomach, please bring it up as soon as possible."
In a corner of the shop, there was a young boy, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. His hair was unusually silvery white, and his face revealed bronze skin. He looked like he had eaten a lot.
Children from poor families have lots of patches on their clothes.
"This guest, I am not a waiter, I am the manager of this restaurant!" The little boy was a little surprised when he saw Chen Yu coming out alone in the middle of the night, but he acted like an old-fashioned person.
He said to Chen Yu in a dignified manner.
Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the little boy, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he hadn't eaten for several days. If he hadn't drank dew and filled himself with wild fruits along the way, he probably wouldn't have been able to last for such a long time.
"There are only some steamed buns and half a roast chicken in the store, and everything else is sold out." The little boy said leisurely and completely ignored Chen Yu's gaze. It was obvious that he was used to this kind of gaze.
"Send them all."
After hearing the sermon, the little boy turned around and walked to the kitchen and said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you warm it up." Chen Yu looked at the little boy's back with interest, and said with admiration in his heart, a child from a poor family.
Already in charge of the family, this little boy at such a young age actually manages a small shop and is also the shopkeeper, waiter and chef.
After a while, the fragrant roast chicken and steaming steamed buns were brought up. Chen Yu suddenly felt as if these things in front of him were the best things he had ever eaten in his life. While devouring them, he felt vaguely
Said: "Little boy, he is young and has pretty good skills."
"My guest, don't choke, please come slowly." Seeing Chen Yu's popularity, the little boy smiled knowingly. He brought a cup of tea from the side and reminded him kindly, "It must be you, guest."
I am so hungry that everything I eat tastes so delicious. My grandfather said that if a person is extremely hungry, no matter what he eats, he will think it is the most delicious thing in the world."
Chen Yu tore off a chicken leg and replied while gnawing: "Your grandpa must be a wise man to be able to say such a truth." The little boy continued to walk to the table on one side and looked at it with his hands and cheeks.
Chen Yu was dressed in white clothes and was dusty, but he didn't look like a poor person. He was interested in chatting and said: "My grandfather said that these are just the principles of life. Once you see through them, you will feel that everything is nothing."
in this way."
"Brother, I'm back, why haven't you closed the door yet?"
At this time, a little boy of five or six years old also walked out of the back room. The clothes he was wearing were also heavily patched. He looked somewhat similar to the boy of thirteen or fourteen, but his whole body
She looks thinner, and with this simple clothes, she looks even more endearing.
At this time, the older boy turned around and looked at the younger boy, with a gentle look in his eyes, and said: "Xiaotian, you go to bed first, brother will be closing in a while."
The little boy's big eyes were fixed on the food on Chen Yu's table. His throat slid quietly and he bit his fingers. Hearing his brother's words, he nodded subconsciously and said, "Oh."
After a while, Chen Yu finally cleared away the things on the table. He patted his slightly bulging body, stood up and said: "Okay, little brother, it's not too early for you to close the shop."
After saying that, he groped for it in his arms, but then he looked a little embarrassed. After he left the Chen family, he put the money in his arms, but it seemed that he had forgotten all of it while running along the way.
, it is impossible to pay the bill at this time.
Looking at Chen Yu's face, the big boy guessed Chen Yu's situation. He sighed softly and said, "Is this guest officer not very handy?" Although the big boy is small, he has
But he seems to know a lot and knows some ways of the world.
"Um...well...my money...was left behind..." Chen Yu seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
"Ah, it's a bad guy again..." Xiaotian next to him saw that Chen Yu couldn't pay. He opened his eyes wide and tears rolled in his eyes. He cried whenever he wanted to. He stared at Chen Yu and said: "You all
He is a bad person. He comes here to eat all day without giving us any money. He knows that my brother and I are helpless and easy to bully, but he doesn’t know that we have nothing to eat..."
Xiaotian's eyes turned red, and he choked with sobs: "Brother said that if there are no guests, these will be our dinner, but...it turns out that you don't pay, and you are also a bad person! Just like them."
After the five or six-year-old boy Xiaotian finished speaking, tears covered his face, which made the older boy a little flustered. He quickly used his patched sleeves to help wipe away the tears while comforting him.
.
"Little brother, don't cry..." Chen Yu felt real, ashamed, and embarrassed at this moment. It could be seen that the brothers who had depended on each other since childhood were really being bullied, and it was difficult to guarantee even the most basic life.
"My guest, it's okay. I can see that you are different from those people. You are not a person who eats Overlord's meal. You must have really left your money behind." The big boy said to Chen Yu in a reasonable manner.
: "My grandpa said that everyone has difficulties, and we must learn to understand." He pulled Xiaotian aside and kindly comforted him, "Don't cry, Xiaotian, be good. My brother also left you a steamed bun and
A few pieces of chicken, brother won't let you go hungry."
"Brother..." More tears welled up from Xiaotian's eyes, and he curled his lips and said aggrievedly: "It's not because I'm hungry, it's because my brother hasn't eaten all day long and has been bullied by those bad people all day long.
Come here for a meal, the savings grandpa left us are gone, what should we do..."
Seeing that the clothes of the older and younger brothers were all patched, and then hearing such a conversation, Chen Yu's heart was suddenly filled with sadness, and he seemed to be touched deep in his heart.
There is a touch of moist and hot feeling in it.
The life of a poor family is full of all kinds of helplessness. The affection between the two brothers and the helplessness of life moved him, who had been born in the Chen family since he was a child and had no worries about food and drink, with a long-lost feeling.
"Little brother, don't cry. I'm not a bad person. Although I don't have money, I have something here that can be used as collateral for this meal." Chen Yu took out a jade bottle from the storage ring, which was exactly the same as before.
Jade bottle of earth spirit liquid.
"No, sir, this jade vase is good jade. I can't use this much money for my meal. Sir, please put it away and we can settle the settlement together next time we pass by." Unexpectedly, the big boy said directly.
He refused, saying that my grandfather said that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.
Chen Yu suddenly became very interested in the grandfather of these two brothers. How he could behave so kindly in such a poor living condition made him feel a little respect in his heart and insisted.
: "Little brother, my subordinates, this is really nothing to me."
The big boy refused to accept it no matter what he said, and his rough-looking little hands pushed the jade bottle back resolutely. Seeing that he refused, Chen Yu had no choice but to have an idea in his heart, and said: "
Since you are unwilling to accept it, then I will stay for a while and help you, okay?"
Before the big boy could answer, Xiaotian lowered his head, grabbed his clothes with both hands, and whispered: "We can't afford to eat ourselves, do we need to support one more person?" The big boy hurriedly pulled.
Chen Yu squatted down, touched Xiaotian's head and said softly: "Don't worry, brother won't eat for free anymore, and he will make sure that none of you are hungry."
