Near evening, Jiang Yingbai sat against the wall and closed his eyes to meditate.
Lotta and Xia sat opposite each other in the living room. There was a piece of paper in the middle of the table. The crooked black lines divided the paper into small grids of about the same size. The grids were filled with X's and O's.
There is a pile of playing cards next to the paper, scattered and unorganized.
Lotta likes this little game very much, and he also likes the cards next to it. Every step must be carefully considered.
Lotta thinks Sister Chengzi is a genius. Not only is she very smart, she also invented many fun games.
The loud shouts of children came from downstairs.
"Everyone, please don't go out recently and stay away from strangers."
"There are gangsters in the town who betrayed the great King Lopra. They were the ones who stole our food under the cover of darkness last night."
"They are trying to use such despicable means to spread panic and undermine public sentiment."
"But the wise King Lopra will not let their conspiracy succeed. The magician Julian will protect us. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty."
"When you see a suspicious person, please come to the Mage Tower. With everyone's help, Magician Julian will be able to quickly find the gangster."
…
Jiang Yingbai remembered the owner of this voice, the boy selling newspapers.
The boy is a smart man, with courage, brains, and courage. Unfortunately, he is too young and can only barely survive with all these.
His story is very touching, and raising his younger brother alone is even more touching, but Jiang Yingbai will not help him because he will do anything to survive, such as killing her for money.
Jiang Yingbai exhaled and closed the window.
…
"Dong dong dong."
Jiang Yingbai glanced at the time before closing the system chat.
8:39
The perspective returned to the clone, and he opened the door with a vigilant expression.
A short woman stood outside the door.
Her nose is small and white, her eyes are round and shining, her round face is flushed, and her hands are holding a basket that reaches almost to her waist.
Like the outgoing and cute little sister next door, she has a warm and sunny aura about her.
After seeing the door open, she raised the corners of her mouth with a cute smile and took out several oval-shaped things from the basket, which should be the roots of some kind of plant, similar to sweet potatoes.
"Sister, food."
Jiang Yingbai's eyes widened, pretending to be surprised, "Why do you have food?"
The girl's raised hand did not fall down, "It belongs to my uncle. There is a lot of unpalatable food stored underground in my uncle's house."
She took a step forward and handed the food to Jiang Yingbai, "Sister, take it."
Jiang Yingbai backed away slightly, fearing that the food was a trap and did not dare to accept it. Her eyes fell on the opposite room.
The girl didn't stop after going upstairs. She only knocked on Jiang Yingbai's room.
Jiang Yingbai looked at the opposite room with a troubled expression, and sighed, as if regretting or sighing.
"Give my share to the room opposite. There is a family living in the room opposite. Last night I heard their children crying and asking for food. It's okay if I'm hungry for a while, but I can't let the children starve."
The girl tilted her head, her mind filled with questions, and she uttered a confused, "Huh?"
The girl said, "But my uncle and sister downstairs told me that you are the only one upstairs. Is there anyone living in the back room?"
She turned around and saw that the door behind her was closed, and there was no light inside.
Jiang Yingbai didn't expect it to be like this.
no one? Did they move away? When did it happen? Was it when she was sleeping? But why did they move away?
Jiang Yingbai opened his mouth wide and was very surprised, "Really? I saw them last night! Why did they all move out today?"
The girl nodded firmly, "That's what my uncles and sisters said."
After saying that, she rolled her eyes and showed her white teeth, "Hey, I know! They must be just like me! They must also be good children!"
She saw many people at the Mage Tower in the morning.
Hearing what the girl said, Jiang Yingbai understood immediately, but she still had no intention of taking the girl's food.
She clasped her hands and said to the girl, "Can you do me a favor?"
The girl nodded without hesitation, "Okay, sister, you tell me."
She likes girls who are older than her, especially beautiful girls. These sisters often give her delicious food, take her to play games, and touch her head gently.
Jiang Yingbai said, "Can you give my food to the little boy who bought the newspaper? That little boy and his brother are very pitiful. I hope this can help them."
The girl nodded in agreement. She knew the boy who sold newspapers. The boy would go to her house to deliver newspapers every day.
She always thought the boy was pitiful and wanted to talk to him and play games with him to make him happy, but her parents did not allow her to play with the boy.
The boy didn't want to play with her either, so he put the newspaper at the door and left immediately.
One time, a girl happened to meet a boy when she went out. She was a little confused. The boy delivered the newspaper a few hours later than usual today, and his expression was a little strange.
Thinking about it, she quickly ran towards the boy. Just when she was about to ask, the boy looked painful, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground with a plop.
The girl was frightened and ran over to help the boy up and stroked his limbs, which were almost only bones. The girl felt very distressed.
She asked, "Are you okay?"
The boy shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just because I haven't eaten for a long time."
The girl brought the boy home and went into the kitchen to find a pile of food. Her parents went to Liberty City to do errands and would return home in a few days. Before leaving home, they prepared a few days of food and a sum of money for her.
The boy ate to the end and almost stuffed the food into his mouth. The girl looked more and more distressed. She wanted to help him, so she gave the boy the money left by her parents.
The boy was very touched and thanked her, but he still frowned and was very unhappy. The girl asked very thoughtfully.
After the girl's persistent persistence, he finally relented and sighed, a little weak and a little angry, "My brother is sick, but I don't have money to treat him."
Patting him on the shoulder, she comforted, "It doesn't matter, I have money." The girl ran into the room, took out the money box, and put it in front of him.
"I saved these for you."
He wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist the girl's repeated pleas. Finally, he went home with a box of money.
Later, in order to help the boy, she saved most of her pocket money.
Converted into TMB, the girl's weekly pocket money is 50 RMB more than ordinary people. She likes beautiful decorations. In order to give more to the boy, she only buys one piece per week.
Despite this, the boy's life is still very difficult. He has many scars on his body, and the girl knows that they were beaten by others.
Malice came from all directions, and all misery seemed to love him.
The girl didn't expect that besides her, someone else wanted to help the boy. She was surprised and touched, "Sister, you are so kind."
