The servants of the Lin family were startled and retreated to the door around Lin Jinyan. Hong Jiu stood in front of everyone with sharp eyes.
After a while of squirming, a few dirty heads emerged from the straw. They were still buried in the straw from the shoulders down, looking at everyone expectantly and timidly.
Lin Jinyan asked Lin Shun to share the cakes with the Huazis. When the Huazis heard that there was something to eat, they got out of the grass and ran towards Lin Shun regardless of the cold.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shun raised the two packets of cakes high above his head and shouted: "Everyone is standing ready! Everyone has something! No one can eat it if they come to snatch it!"
After hearing this, the five flowers stood obediently in front of Lin Shun, staring at the meat pie.
Lin Shun handed out a few cakes each, and Hanako quickly took the cakes. While eating, he stuffed the remaining cakes into his clothes and protected them tightly with his hands. He looked at the other Hanakos with wary eyes, like a wild beast guarding its food.
Lin Jinyan's eyes carefully scanned Hua Zi's unkempt face. After looking at them one by one, she did not see a familiar figure. She frowned and recalled what that person said.
"In the 19th year of Sheng'an, at the Yi Zhuang in Xuchen Lane, I had the most delicious meat pie in the world. If it weren't for those few pieces of meat pie, I would not have been able to survive New Year's Eve, and I would not have been able to see my master."
Is that person not here yet? Or is there more than just this yizhuang in Xuchen Alley?
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyan asked aloud: "Are there just a few of you?"
The flowers ate happily and did not answer, just staring at Lin Jinyan.
When Lin Shun saw this, he shouted: "Are you all mute? Everything you eat is bought by my lady."
One of the Hanako swallowed the meat pie in his mouth, stepped forward and said: "Thank you, Miss, for the food. There are just a few of us. There was a man covered in blood the night before yesterday, and they drove him to the next room. Probably dead."
Hearing this, Lin Jinyan walked towards the penthouse. Most of the dilapidated small house could be seen looking up at the sky. There was a pile of straw placed in the corner near the main room. The blood on the straw was particularly eye-catching.
Lin Shun opened the straw and saw a foot. Just as he was about to lift the straw, a sharp sword suddenly opened the straw and placed it on Lin Shun's neck.
Lin Shun froze. The incident happened suddenly. Hong Jiu stayed by Lin Jinyan's side and didn't have time to take action.
As the figure holding the sword sat up, the straw on his body also fell, and the figure that emerged was naked and pale, with dry skin on his mouth and dried blood, and the exposed hair tips on his shoulders were also covered in blood scabs.
Lin Shun's bent body blocked the part below the shoulder of the sword holder, making it impossible to see where he was injured.
Hong Jiu put his right hand on his waist and stared at the sword holder walking towards Lin Shun.
The man holding the sword said coldly: "If you take a step forward, he will die."
Lin Jinyan: "Hong Jiu, stop."
After calling Hong Jiu to stop, regardless of Bai Zhi's obstruction, she took a few steps forward and stood behind Lin Shun and smiled.
"I'm just here to bring you food and I don't mean any harm. Are you hurt?"
The man holding the sword looked at the child in front of him, not afraid of him at all, and couldn't help but feel strange.
"Who are you?"
Lin Jinyan's eyebrows curled up in a smile: "My name is Lin Jinyan, what's your name?"
"I don't know you, why are you looking for me?"
"I heard that there are many Hanakos here who have no food to eat. I bought some food and sent it to them. Hanako said there were still people here, so I came to check. Are you hurt?"
"I'm not Hanako."
"Not even Hanako will be hungry. Lin Shun, go buy some more meat pies."
Lin Shun bent over and felt sweat on his forehead: "Miss, I can't move..."
