Chapter 4 Blood and Mercy ()

"Where did the little beggar come from? Go and go, stand here like something, get away!" The woman lowered her eyebrows and turned her lips violently.

"Madam, our hometown has been hit by a disaster, and the adults are gone. We brothers have no one to rely on. We have been hungry for three days..." Xiaonan stepped forward and bowed, his face looked very sincere, and at the same time it made people feel a little pitiful. "Madam, can you give me some food..."

The little girl next to her lowered her head and looked at Xiaonan and the others slightly. At this moment, she felt a little reluctant to hear this, and couldn't help looking up at the woman: "Madam..."

"Shut up!" The woman's cheeks shook, and a little pink fell. She glanced at the maid, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Nan, then turned to look at Xiao Mingde, her bright red lips raised, and she actually smiled: "It's so eye-catching. Although it's a little darker, it's quite right. Unfortunately, she's too young and I don't know how much food I'll waste if I want to raise it... "

After saying that, the woman let out a long breath, as if her heart was full of strength. She turned her head and snorted at the little girl: "Let's go! I don't have to get angry about these pickled fools!" After that, she walked away with her head raising her head and trembling with her fat body.

Seeing that the other party was speechless, Xiaonan didn't want to make people laugh anymore. Seeing that the woman was about to leave, she turned sideways and made way. Unexpectedly, Mingde, who was beside him, stood there and looked at the woman, looking a little angry. When the woman saw it, she immediately raised her eyebrows: "Little puppy! You dare to look at your grandma with such a look! You don't know how to live or die!" As she spoke, Dahong Luoxiao kicked her under her skirt and kicked her on Mingde's chest!

Mingde was thin and had no precautions at all. He was kicked to the ground and fell out of the ground. When he got up again, his nostrils were already bleeding! Seeing the woman stepping forward, she seemed to be willing to kick Mingde to death, Xiao Nan's eyes were suddenly in tears. Without thinking, he took out a dagger and rushed over without a sound!

The woman's thick legs were just raised under her skirt, but before she could kick it out, her belly was already cold! Xiao Nan stabbed into the unscrupulous woman's lower abdomen, and then pulled it out again followed by another knife! The dark red blood immediately dyed the woman's skirt and splattered on Xiao Nan's body. Suddenly, the little girl next to her screamed as if she had been stepped on her tail, and her eyes fainted!

Xiaonan calmly pulled out the dagger, wiped the blood with the woman's skirt, and pulled Mingde out of the street like a desperate attempt.

Not long after the two walked, the whole street became a mess. At this time, Xiaonan didn't know whether the woman died or not, but just wanted to pull Mingde forward, and at the same time took off her upper clothes, wiped the blood on her face, and then threw it on the corner of the street. After running out of two streets, the two stopped, and then turned into a secluded alley, gasping for breath.

At this moment, Mingde was so tired that he was out of breath, and his mind was blank. After a while, the two of them looked at the surrounding environment. This was a dead alley, and not far from it was a wall made of blue bricks. The alley was not wide, and the road paved with sand and gravel was shattering when they stepped on it. It was because there was no way out, so the alley was quieter, and no one was walking except the two.

A middle-aged beggar squatted at the entrance of the alley not far away. His messy hair covered half of his face and his beard drooped to his chest. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he was staring at Xiaonan and Mingde.

…………

There were several houses in the alley, and the place where they stopped at this moment happened to be the door of one of them. Although the door in front of them did not look gorgeous and even a little shabby, the experience just now made them feel scared. They really didn't want to meet someone with a woman-like temperament again. What just happened made Xiao Nan dare not stand at the door of someone else's house anymore, so he took Mingde's hand and walked and wanted to leave the door of the house. Who knew that the world was incredible. The two of them had just raised their feet, and before they could move open, they could only hear a creaking sound, and the door of the house was actually opened.

The black painted door opened inward, and there were two women who came out - a young woman and a little girl with a bun. The little girl had pretty eyebrows, bangs on her forehead, and was wearing green cloth clothes. Although it was simple, it was clean. The young woman wore a green squid, a white summer cloth shirt, a pink skirt, and a pink embroidered shoes. She was not tall, had a slightly thin figure, and looked bad. She had no makeup on her face and had a white face. Although the master and servant looked not ordinary people's homes, they were definitely not wealthy.

The master and servant opened the door. When they looked up, they saw two little beggars standing in front of the door. They were stunned. The little girl saw Mingde at a glance. When she saw that the little child was actually like this, she couldn't help but flatten her mouth. At this time, the two were still in shock and didn't want to get into any more trouble. They were about to turn around and leave, but the woman stepped out of the door and called them.

"You... do you want something to eat?" The woman's face was young, but her voice was filled with a strange sense of vicissitudes. One sentence stopped the two children who were about to leave. The woman couldn't help but show pity, sighed secretly, and said, "Then... you wait." Then she turned to the girl and ordered, "Cui'er, go and bring them some."

When the little girl heard this, she seemed to be relieved. She responded quickly and walked quickly to the yard. The woman stood there and looked at her two children carefully. She saw that the older one was only five or six years old, and the younger one was only three or four years old, and she was ragged and dirty, and she seemed to have suffered a lot. She didn't know whose child this family was, but she had fallen to such a state at such a young age...

The woman looked at her and sighed secretly. After a while, the woman sighed deeply: "This...this is so good that her child would be born so adorable." Then she thought again: "If it were her child, she would not be so bitter no matter what..."

After a moment, the little girl walked out with a tray, and six thick steamed buns were placed on the tray. The little girl smiled on her face, lowered the tray and held it in front of the two of them. The two looked at each other. Although the abdomen was roaring and mouths were salivating, no one went to get the steamed bun first. Instead, they all bowed to the woman and the little girl and said, "Thank you, madam, thank you sister!"

"Oh! Oh!" This action suddenly made the woman lose her composure. "What... what is this? Hurry, take it away!" The woman felt a little sad for a moment, and tears in her eyes were rolling back and forth. She quickly took a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Are you hungry? Eat slowly, don't choke. If it's not enough, there's still something in the house..." The woman muttered while watching the two of them eat. The voice was full of intimacy, as if it was a relative and elder. These words were so heartwarming in their ears! Compared with the experience in front of the governor's office just now, it was really in heaven and earth!

The two of them have been wandering for so many days, and have seen so many cold faces. They have been accustomed to many rolling eyes and sarcastic words. But when have they heard such soft words? Even though they were still a little hungry, the steamed bun was chewed in their mouths for a long time, but they couldn't swallow it. Even Xiaonan, whose heart was as hard as iron, tears fell down. This made the woman feel even more distressed. She kept wiping the silk handkerchief in her hand on her eyes, and the little girl Cui'er next to her also burst into tears.

Xiaonan had something to do, and he didn't want to delay here for too long, so he ate faster, and Mingde was the same. The two of them finished eating steamed buns like wind and clouds. When they were about to leave, Xiaonan solemnly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the woman, then stood up and walked out of the alley.

Originally, the woman looked at the two children and felt more and more pitiful. Although the meal in front of her made them full, the woman felt very confused when she thought of it. Xiaonan knocked her head and made her feel even more uncomfortable as if she had knocked her over. She started to look pitiful because they were children. Now, in addition to being pitiful, the woman liked them more and more. The two children just looked like mud monkeys, and looked carefully and looked very polite. He was rare and so polite. Who wouldn't like it?

Seeing that they were about to walk away, the woman finally couldn't help calling out: "If you can't get food tomorrow, then... come here again, ah?" The two children paused and turned around and nodded at her. When the two of them were getting farther and farther away, the woman was still standing at the door with the little girl, looking at her, feeling sad and lost.

"It looks so pitiful..." the little girl Cui'er sighed softly.

"Yes!" the young woman also sighed softly. "After eating this meal, I don't know when the next meal will be...ah..."

Cui'er smiled and said, "It's a blessing for my wife to be kind-hearted. It's their luck to meet you, otherwise you might be hungry until when."

Cui'er packed up the tray and helped her wife into the door. As she walked, Cui'er suddenly said, "After that's it, these two children can really eat."

The woman smiled and glanced at Cui'er: "Why, do you feel sorry for those steamed buns? Haha, if you are hungry, you may have to eat more than they do."

Cui'er turned red, pursed her lips lightly, and hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Although the wife is kind, what if they really come tomorrow? If it becomes a habit and come to ask for it every day, the wife will definitely be unwilling to give it to her. But as time goes by, her own food may be..."

"Oh..." The woman also sighed. "Cui'er, I know all this, but even if I know, if I look at the pitiful look in front of a few children, I will be so heartless... Oh, fortunately, it's already twenty-fourth today, and it's the end of the month in a few days. It would be great if the master received his salary. There are many refugees now, so we can help you, and who hasn't been in trouble yet?"

"Yes..." Cui'er lowered her head and received her teachings. "The wife is kind-hearted and kind, and she does all kinds of good things. Guanyin Bodhisattva will definitely bless her to achieve all her wishes."
