Ling Han really didn't know what fresh white radish tasted like. Whether he was living in Baicao Valley or training in the mountains and forests, he ate sweet fruits and delicious barbecued meat. Of course, he also snatched the magical herbs and medicinal materials from monsters. I shared it with Xiaobai, but I had never eaten a big white radish like this before. Seeing the little girl hurriedly nibbling the radish, the "crack, click" smell was so fragrant that Ling Han couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He didn't know that white radish was also wild. Is there any difference in the taste of ginseng...
He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to the little girl except himself, so Ling Han quietly walked around from behind and stood behind her to observe her eating a big white radish up close.
At first glance, her face is a bit dark and looks a bit pitiful. She must have had a pretty good life before. Her chubby face is still a little rosy. At least she is not sallow and skinny, and is relatively healthy.
Suddenly, the little girl suddenly turned around without warning, her clear eyes staring directly at Ling Han. The two looked at each other for less than a second. Before Ling Han could react, the little girl threw away the carrot and ran away without saying a word.
Ling Han stretched out his arms and shouted, "Hey, don't, don't run."
I didn't say it was okay, but when I did, the little girl ran even more energetically, running away in a hurry without looking back.
"Oh, I just want to taste the taste of the big white radish. Is it sweet or not?" Ling Han muttered in a low voice.
I picked up the radish that the little girl had thrown away, and there was more than half of it left, so I wiped the mud from the other end, took a bite, and tasted it carefully, "Well, it's spicy and sweet!" It's quite crispy. , but it is slightly spicy, and it starts to taste sweet after chewing it for a few times.
The little girl ran to the corner of the street before stopping. She secretly looked back and looked over. When she saw Ling Han nibbling on a big white radish, she looked surprised and confused, but she didn't dare to go over.
Ling Han waved to her with a kind face, but she still hesitated and leaned against the wall with half of her head exposed. It was interesting to hide and cover up.
Afraid that she would run away again, Ling Han carefully walked over slowly. Before taking a few steps, the little girl turned around and ran to another street, disappearing around the corner.
Ling Han's Demonic Steps turned around, and within a few breaths he chased after him, suddenly appearing in front of the little girl. The little girl was so frightened that she couldn't stop at all and bumped into Ling Han.
Ling Han caught the little girl with a soft force, and then said with a smile: "Haha, I must have caught her."
"Uncle, please spare me, I will never dare to do it again." Although the little girl was begging for mercy, her voice was loud and skillful, and there was no hint of fear on her part. Then she knelt down skillfully as soon as her legs softened. When she got down, Ling Han quickly lifted her up.
"The big white radish is so delicious. How long has it been since you last eaten?" Ling Han asked softly.
Seeing that Ling Han had no intention of blaming her, the little girl knew that it was not his radish and was just minding other people's business, so she tilted her head and said coolly: "I haven't eaten for three days. I ate a few bites today." Carrot, you can beat or scold me as you please."
Ling Han grabbed his arm and did not resist. He turned his stubborn little face to look at the sky on the other side, looking fearless.
"Hey, brother, can you treat me to dinner?"
The little girl glared at Ling Han and said coldly: "Huh! How could you be so kind? Stop pretending, I won't go with you. You want to sell me, I know it. I advise you to give up. It’s all in vain, no one wants a disaster star like me.”
"If I really invite you to dinner, do you dare to come with me?" Ling Han knew that this little girl was very strong and strong.
The little girl held her head high, as if she looked down on others, and said stiffly: "Huh! Why don't you dare? Let's see how long you can keep pretending. A quick glance will tell you that you are not a good person."
The sharp cold wind was blowing, and the cotton shoes on my feet were worn out, and half of my toes were exposed. "Is it cold?"
"So what if it's cold? Anyway, I'm wearing thicker clothes than you." The little girl rolled her eyes and mocked mercilessly: "You can't survive and can't even afford clothes, so that's why you took this idea from me. Seeing as you are young, you have nothing to learn and must abduct children!"
Ling Han had a string of black lines on his forehead and simply stopped talking. He took her arm and entered a nearby small noodle shop. At this time, there was no one in the noodle shop, so he shouted to the chef: "Staff, two bowls of beef noodles, please add more." beef."
"Okay, you two, please take a seat. The beef noodles will be here soon." The waiter came over and greeted us with a smile, wiped the table and poured two bowls of water.
The little girl and Ling Han didn't speak or drink water, they just sat facing each other awkwardly.
The little girl still looked fearless, looking here and there, then she leaned on the table with her hands on her head and stared at Ling Han. She felt that he was not lying to her, so she softened her voice and asked in a low voice: "You Do you really want to treat me to beef noodles?”
The corners of Ling Han's mouth raised slightly involuntarily, and he said calmly: "You will know in a moment."
"I've kept you guys waiting for a long time. Here are your two bowls of beef noodles with extra beef." Soon, the waiter brought two large bowls of fragrant and steaming beef noodles.
The clear soup noodles were covered with a few pieces of tender beef. The little girl's eyes widened instantly. She didn't believe what Ling Han said until she saw the real thing. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva after smelling the fragrance. She couldn't bear the surprise and looked at Ling Han in disbelief. At this time, Ling Han slapped a pair of chopsticks on the table and started eating by himself.
"Wow, it's delicious!" The little girl muttered before eating, then picked up the chopsticks, hugged the celadon bowl with one hand, held the chopsticks with the other hand, pulled the noodles to her mouth, and started to devour it.
The little girl really tasted delicious food. Ling Han couldn't help laughing when he saw it. A bowl of the most ordinary beef noodles seemed to be as tempting as delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Ling Han had only eaten half of the meal, but the little girl had already eaten all the soup and noodles, "How about another bowl?"
The little girl rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded sheepishly. Ling Han smiled slightly and shouted: "Xiaoer, have another bowl of beef noodles."
Before the bowl of beef noodles was served, Ling Han said softly: "Now you know, I didn't lie to you."
The little girl licked her lips, still savoring the taste of the beef noodles. She didn't say anything, just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Where is your family? Why are you alone?"
"I have no family."
"where u from?"
"The last place is Fuliu City, the next one is Lai City, the next one is Dou City, the next one is Qingyu City, and the next one is..."
"Huh? You are not very old, how come you have been to so many places? Is your family a businessman?"
"I have no family!" the little girl emphasized again.
"A trafficker sold me to a family as a servant, and then sold me to another family from another trafficker. I don't know how many things were exchanged. Until a few days ago, I sneaked out from this place... …”
"Why did you run away secretly?"
"They treated me like a beast of burden, washing clothes, chopping firewood, carrying water, cooking, washing dishes... They asked me to do all the work. They even beat me if they didn't give me food." The little girl just choked up and immediately became He became even more determined, and his unwillingness to admit defeat or fate infected Ling Han.
The miserable little man can only live humbly and go through hardships. If there is no hope in his heart, he may only die.
"How old are you this year?"
"Seven years old, oh no, eight years old."
"How old were you when you were trafficked by human traffickers?"
"Three or four years old? I can't remember clearly. Anyway, it has been three or four years. During this period, I don't know how many times I have been resold. I have lost count." The little girl silently counted the years on her fingers, revealing her sleeves and arms. The scars are simply shocking.
Ling Han took a deep breath, the Tianfu Empire was so prosperous, but human trafficking still existed!
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Well... survive first, and then learn a craft. My master said that in life, you must have a skill. If you have the ability, you can travel all over the world without fear. If you don't have the ability, it will be difficult to move even a single step." The little girl imitated the old man's tone. , preached seriously, happily and proudly, as if that time was the best day in her memory.
"Do you still have a master?"
"He was my last buyer. He was a kind old man and treated me like his own grandson..."
"What happened next? Why did he sell you again?"
"My master will not betray me. It's too late for him to love me." The little girl was a little excited. She said: "When I followed the master, I was in Dou City, and a plague suddenly broke out there. The master couldn't resist it... …Then I was deceived by a bad guy. After helping me bury my master, he took away all the master’s money and sold me to a farmer. This farmer was also unlucky. I met him only two days after I arrived at his house. There was a flood, and then we went all the way to Laicheng in the east. They thought I ate too much, so they sold me to a businessman. The businessman met a bandit on the way to the imperial capital, and he called me a broomstick and made me work every day. They didn't give them food, and they were beaten and scolded. A few days ago, I sneaked out while they were sleeping and walked for a few days to this place."
"Master said that the Imperial City is the place where the emperor lives. It is very prosperous and very easy to feed people. Even if you beg, you will not die of hunger. Once you learn a skill in the Imperial City, your life will be easier in the future and you will not have to starve."
At this time, the waiter brought the bowl of beef noodles. Ling Han put it in front of her. He suddenly felt pity and said with emotion: "Oh, it's really hard on you. Come on, eat. I'll make you full today."
The little girl picked up the noodle bowl and started eating. In a moment, it was all gone. Ling Han watched her finish eating quietly and asked, "Are you full?"
The little girl put down the bowl and chopsticks, lowered her head and touched her belly, then looked at Ling Han, smiled innocently, and shook her head shyly.
Ling Han raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "You are a little person, do you have such a big appetite?" Even an adult strong man should be able to eat two large bowls.
"Waiter, another bowl of beef noodles!"
After finishing the third bowl of noodles, Ling Han said with a smile: "You should be full now."
"Um...actually, I can still..." the little girl said innocently.
Ling Han was speechless, so he patted the table gently, stood up and said, "I won't eat. This is for now. It's not good to eat too much at once."
He raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "What kind of beef noodles are you eating? What are the delicious beef noodles? I will take you to the imperial capital to eat more delicious ones later. I don't believe I can't fill your stomach!"
"Waiter, check out."
The waiter walked up from the counter, glanced at the little girl, and said, "The little girl has a good appetite, she is so lucky. Four bowls of beef noodles, a total of two ingots of broken silver."
"Ha, he calls eating a lot means you are lucky!" The little girl snorted coldly and walked to the door leisurely with her hands clasped behind her hands contentedly, stepping on the threshold and waiting for Ling Han to pay.
Ling Han touched the ring and then realized that there was no silver in it at all. The gold and silver he had earned before were either taken away by the little witch or exchanged for spiritual stones.
The spiritual stones seem to be gone, and there is nothing but piles of spiritual grass...
When the waiter saw that Ling Han couldn't come up with the money, his expression suddenly changed. He took two steps back and said in a deep voice, "You can't come up with the money and want to eat for free!"
The little girl at the door raised her eyebrows and glared at Ling Han with an angry look on her face. She pursed her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.
