Chapter 2003 Adolescent Boy

They met on the third day after the temple was destroyed during a thunderstorm.

Diao Jun did not talk to Huang Shao about the destiny of the Poor God and the destiny of the Gold and Silver Mountain. In his opinion, it would be better for the monk's words to die directly in his heart.

Only by leaving Brother Shao could he become a rich man and avoid suffering, but he couldn't do it.

At the same time, I don’t want Brother Shao to know that his life is so bad, so he can’t be sad.

Therefore, it was said that the monk disappeared after just taking a nap.

Huang Shao had no doubts, he just thought that the monk left without saying goodbye, and it was a pity that the opportunity disappeared for Diao Jun.

The two brothers cannot learn magic from the monks, and they have to live.

So he went out every day to find work in the town, or to dig some wild vegetables in the mountains outside the city.

It's good if you can get one meal a day.

On this day, the two brothers left the Earth Temple early, their stomachs growling, and wandered around the streets, hoping to get some food.

It’s just that shopkeepers in various shops are reluctant to use them because they are too dirty.

The docks and warehouses where coolies are sold have enough people, so it doesn't matter if they don't get in.

There were many beggars on the street, and the two brothers did not dare to go there. They had tried before and never dared to beg for food after being beaten by beggars.

Beggars also have their own territory, and there is no free space in Zuoshan Town.

Wandering around, there wasn't even a temporary worker.

The two brothers were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs, so they decided to go out of the city to get some wild vegetables to cushion their stomachs.

As soon as I walked near the east city gate, I saw a huge crowd of people, mostly beggars and poor people.

The scene was very noisy, but fortunately there were people from the government watching over it.

"This military master, what are you doing?" Facing the surging crowd, Huang Shao was a little curious, so he asked the officers and soldiers.

"The Qiao family is giving porridge!" The officers and soldiers didn't even look at him, their faces expressionless.

"I really smell the aroma of porridge!" Diao Jun couldn't help but swallow.

He grabbed Huang Shao and said, "Brother Shao, I'm hungry!"

"Then let's go have a bowl too?" Huang Shao nodded. Good things like giving out porridge are rare, so of course you can't miss it if you encounter it.

The two brothers squeezed into the crowd hand in hand. After waiting in line for a long time, they finally squeezed into the very back.

Sure enough, dozens of Qiao's servants were busy going back and forth, and there were even maids cooking porridge on the spot. Several female members of the Qiao family, covered with veils, were serving porridge to the poor. There were voices of thanks everywhere, and some even cried.

When it was finally Huang Shao and Diao Jun's turn, the two brothers looked at the very thin white porridge in the bucket. They thought it was fine wine and jade liquid, and they just wanted to drink it quickly.

The female family member in charge of serving porridge scooped up a bowl. Huang Shao immediately picked it up, said thank you to her, and wanted Diao Jun to come over.

When she raised her head, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and the women's veils lifted with the wind, revealing their stunning beauty for just a moment.

Under the veil is a beautiful, stunning girl.

Huang Shao's eyes widened and he stood stunned.

When the stunning girl met his eyes, she smiled softly and charmingly, which seemed to be breathtaking.

Holding a bowl of white porridge, he actually forgot about being hungry, and only the beautiful face flashed through his mind.

"Brother Shao!" Diao Jun squeezed over. Although he was confused about why Huang Shao was like this, he still took the white porridge handed over by the female family members and took him away from the crowd to the open space next to him. Seeing that he was holding the white porridge but not drinking it, he kept looking back at the place where the porridge was being given. He lowered his head and took a sip, and asked softly, "Brother Shao? Why don't you drink it? This porridge tastes so good!"

"Ah? Ah!" Huang Shao finally came back to his senses, "Oh..."

"Brother Shao, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's okay..."

"I'm so lucky today. The Qiao family actually gave out porridge. It's such a philanthropic family!" Diao Jun was very happy.

"Yeah..." Huang Shao looked back at the soup kitchen, but unfortunately it was crowded and he couldn't see the women.

"Brother Shao, why don't you drink?"

"Drink, drink..."

The two brothers squatted in the corner, drank the porridge, and returned the bowls to the Qiao family.

"After drinking the porridge, I feel much better!" Diao Jun felt like he was alive and touched his belly, which was a little full of energy. "Brother Shao, go to the mountains to get some wild vegetables. We can handle it today!"

"Yeah!" Huang Shao still couldn't see the face he wanted to see, and was slightly disappointed. I sighed in my heart. The porridge was given by the female family members of the Qiao family. Although I had never seen that stunning girl, she was so young and seemed to be the dominant one among the people who gave the porridge. After thinking about it, there was only the youngest daughter of the Qiao family.

The daughter of a rich family always stays in her boudoir and rarely goes out.

Huang Shao only knew that the Qiao family had a little daughter, but he didn't know that she was so beautiful and beautiful, and he didn't know her name.

When I first saw it, my whole heart felt like it was being clenched, and I almost couldn't breathe.

However, he showed a sad look afterwards, secretly cursing himself for being blind.

Not to mention that the other party was from the famous Qiao family, and he was just a poor boy who couldn't even afford food.

How could he be worthy of such a fairy-like person?

"Brother Shao?" Diao Jun noticed that something was wrong with Huang Shao. When he came back from the porridge scene, he stayed blank and didn't know what he was thinking. In this situation, it shouldn’t be possible for him to go to the mountains to find wild vegetables, right?

Huang Shao's mind was filled with that beautiful face, especially her smile, which he couldn't get rid of. So much so that I couldn't hear Diao Jun's voice at all.

Unknowingly, he returned to the ruined temple and waited until Diao Jun asked him to enter the house before he realized: "Why are you going home and not going up the mountain?"

"Brother Shao, how can you go up the mountain like this?" Diao Jun was helpless.

"I...I'm fine!" Huang Shao said quickly.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Just rest at home!" Diao Jun said, "I will go to the mountain alone today."

"How can that be?" Huang Shao shook his head, "Together..."

"I see you are in a trance, have you caught a cold? We can't get sick!" Diao Jun said worriedly, "If you get sick, you don't have money to treat it. Brother Shao, you stay at home to warm yourself up today, and you must not catch a cold. I'll go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables."

"Jun'er, I'm fine..."

"You said you were fine, but you've been in a daze since just now." Diao Jun held him down forcibly and lit a fire with a fire starter, "We really can't get sick, so we have to be careful if there are any signs."

"Jun'er, I..."

"Okay, wait for me to come back!" Diao Jun didn't give him a chance to explain, turned around and left the land temple, trotting all the way towards the city gate.

Looking at Diao Jun's back, Huang Shao wanted to catch up.

But the beautiful face appeared in his mind again, so he sat by the fire with his hands on his cheeks, adding firewood while continuing to be in a daze.

He didn't want to be like this, but he had no choice.

He was in puberty and couldn't control himself at all.

On the other side, Diao Jun went out of the city and headed straight for the nearest forest. There were no large beasts here, and the mountain was not high. It was very safe near the city. The poor people in the city often looked for food on this mountain, catching wild mice, rabbits, frogs, snakes, or wild vegetables and fruits.

Because there were many poor people and the resources in the forest were limited, everyone could only get so much food every day.

If you are unlucky, you may still go hungry.

Diao Jun drank a bowl of white porridge and felt a little stronger. He felt that he could run more places and find more wild vegetables today.
