Chapter 2540 Goodbye Shan Yong
There seemed to be a light in the little boy's eyes, which hurt the softest part of my heart.
Just a piece of candy.
With this in mind, I took out a piece of magic honey from my pocket and handed it to him.
After taking the honey, the little boy, like a little house bird that had just learned to fly, stepped on the muddy road and ran towards the old brick house not far away.
I was puzzled why he was running to the brick house without eating candy, so I followed him silently.
Turning the corner, I saw three children younger than him, staring at the honey in the little boy's hand with the eyes the little boy looked at me just now.
The youngest one is a girl, only four or five years old, ragged and skinny.
It was early spring, and the weather was still very cold. Her exposed little hands and feet were already red from the cold, and some were even cracked by frostbite. However, even so, she seemed to be unaware of the pain, just like her brothers and sisters next to her. Looking longingly at the magic honey in the little boy's hand.
She was so small that she had to stand on tiptoes and crane her neck to see hard.
But no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't see Mi Tang's shadow, because the boy was much taller than her, and the boy's hand holding Mi Tang was also taller than hers.
Finally, she was tired from standing, tired from standing, and it hurt from standing. The soles of her feet slowly flattened on the muddy road, submerged in the cold muddy water, but she still seemed not to feel the cold. She stretched her neck hard and twitched her nose, trying to suck in as much of the honey aroma as possible - it was the most wonderful smell she had ever smelled since she was born.
Looking at the little girl's skinny figure, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart. Unknowingly, I thought of Li Zi and little Remi.
The little boy fed one of the candies to the youngest girl, and then tore the other candy into two pieces of about the same size and distributed them to the other two children. However, he just sucked his fingers and enjoyed it. Enjoy the faint sweetness that sticks to your fingers.
After making sure that all three children had eaten all the honey, he reluctantly took his fingers away from his mouth, turned around, and ran towards me.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"My brothers and sisters."
The little boy introduced his younger brother and two younger sisters to me one by one.
His brother and older sister stood under the eaves, looking at me timidly, but the youngest sister spread her little feet and ran towards me.
But after running a few steps, he was pulled back by his older sister, stuffed behind him, and protected.
I smiled and shook my head and ordered, "Call your brothers and sisters over. I have something to explain."
The little boy hesitated for a moment, but then he followed my instructions and pulled his brothers and sisters over.
The little boy's brother and older sister timidly hid behind his brother, still vigilant, but their youngest sister spread her arms, hugged me, and hugged my legs tightly, her little face high. He raised his head with an innocent smile on his face.
"Little sister, let go quickly, your hands are dirty!"
The little boy hurriedly stepped forward to pull his sister. I raised my hand, blocked it, and picked up the little girl, letting the muddy water on her little feet drip onto my clothes.
Looking at the little girl's face with a bright smile, I asked: "Is the candy delicious?"
While sucking her little thumb, she drooled and said, "Okay--eat."
"Do you still want to eat?"
"think--."
Her words were simple, but the ending of each sentence was very long.
"As long as you do a favor for uncle, uncle will give you candy, okay?"
"good--."
The girl agreed without hesitation.
That's right, after all, in the eyes of four or five-year-old children, candy is heaven.
I smiled, turned to the little boy, and said, "Take me to the home of the city guard captain."
The little boy glanced at the little girl with a happy smile on her face, nodded, and led the way.
This time, he chose unattractive paths, which were not only difficult to walk, but also narrow and dirty.
I asked the little boy, is there no other way?
The little boy told me that if I walked any other way, I would be discovered, and if I was discovered, I would be beaten.
I thought about it, and he was right. The class system in Airui City is extremely strict. Poor people are not allowed to approach the aristocratic area, otherwise they will be expelled, and those in serious cases will be punished.
After turning left and right, jumping up and down, they finally arrived at the aristocratic area. The little boy and his younger brothers and sisters hunched over and slid along the walls. They walked quickly with small steps. After a while, they arrived in front of a seemingly large-scale manor. He pointed He pointed to the manor and said, "We're here."
"Okay" I nodded, leaned down and whispered a few words to the youngest girl.
Although the girl is young, she has a good memory. She nodded and repeated it in my ear. After making sure it was word for word, I asked her to pass the message to the guard guarding the manor for me.
The little girl ran up to the guard like a sparrow, raised her head, smiled and wanted to hug her.
Although she looked dirty, her smile was very cute. The guard was obviously very humane. He looked around and when he saw no one else, he knelt down and teased the little girl.
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then sucked her fingers and told the guard what I told her.
After hearing this, the guard was stunned for a moment, and then looked around carefully several times. After confirming that no one was there, he asked the little girl again. After getting the answer, one of the guards immediately trotted into the manor.
Not long after, Shan Yong, dressed in plain clothes, walked out quickly.
After seeing the little girl, he simply asked a few words and then walked quickly after the little girl.
"Uncle" the little girl ran back like a bird, threw herself on my lap, hugged my thigh tightly, and smiled non-stop.
"good."
I pinched the little girl's face with satisfaction and called to the side. The excited Dan Yong looked at several children, and he quickly went to a small commodity shop and bought two bags, one filled with magic. He handed the honey to the little girl, and the other was filled with silver coins, and handed it to the little boy, telling him not to spend the money carelessly, especially not to gamble.
The little boy was dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone as generous as me. Holding the bag of silver coins, he stood there for a long time, not even knowing what expression to use to express his mood at the moment.
I didn't disturb him, I just sighed and walked towards another hidden corner with Shan Yong.
He stopped and just turned around when he saw Shan Yong kneeling on one knee and whispered: "Subordinate Shan Yong, pay your respects to your lord."
"Without courtesy," I lifted him up, looked him up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, very good. He is indeed the person I was attracted to in the first place. No matter in appearance or demeanor, he looks very much like me." A nobleman."
When I looked at his badge, I frowned slightly: "It's just missing a medal that represents your status. When the plan is completed, I will get one for you."
"Thank you, sir," Shan Yong said, cupping his fists and bowing.
