My time is running out
Chapter 478 The Thief of Jin
Inside Jin.
The streets of Jin were in tatters, and black earth houses that seemed to collapse at any time could be seen everywhere.
At this time, in an alley.
A twelve-year-old girl with dirty hair, she was wearing a loose and worn T-shirt, which was probably white, but it looked gray because it had been worn for too long and had not been washed, and she was also wearing a pair of loose and old pants.
She lowered her head, her face was hidden under her dirty hair, and her face could not be seen.
The girl's name was Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi was not given to her by her parents, she herself had no name. This name was given to herself by her own learning from the adults.
Xiaoxi was very hungry.
She had not eaten for three days, and she was very hungry.
She gritted her teeth, got up, and walked to the street.
She lowered her head, her eyes looked through the gap in her hair at a fruit stall on the street, and looking at the fruits on the fruit stall, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Her eyes moved, looking at the fish on the fish stall next to her, and she slowly lowered her head.
No one was buying anything at the fruit stall, but the fish stall was surrounded by people.
Xiaoxi sneaked up to the fish stall, stretched out her little hand, reached out from the gap in the crowd, and held a fish.
Take it back.
She hid the fish in her arms and ran away quickly.
"Stop!" Hearing the angry roar of the fish stall owner behind her.
Xiaoxi was scared to death, and she ran away in panic.
The fish stall owner was chasing behind her, and the heavy footsteps drilled into Xiaoxi's ears.
Xiaoxi's face turned pale.
She didn't even dare to look back, and could only run out frantically.
She didn't know how long she ran. When she didn't hear the footsteps behind her, she went into an alley, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.
She seemed to have lost all her strength, leaned against the wall, slowly softened, and squatted on the ground.
Xiaoxi took the fish in her arms out and looked at it.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
She was abandoned here by her parents a year ago.
During this year, she suffered from hunger and cold. The only food she had was begging and rummaging through garbage dumps.
At first, she could get something by begging, but later it was gone.
After that, she started to rummage through garbage dumps, and now there was very little food in the garbage dumps.
She didn't want to steal, but she had no other choice.
Looking at the dead fish in her hand, she opened her mouth and took a bite.
It was not cooked and it was fishy.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she ate while crying.
"Woo woo woo..." She choked while eating.
It was very unpalatable, but she was almost starving and didn't care about anything.
"Fish, eating like this is not good for your health." A voice came.
Hearing this voice.
Xiaoxi was startled, she raised her face and looked forward.
There stood a man and a woman.
The man was the one who spoke.
The man looked at her with gentle eyes, and he said, "Give me the fish."
The man was Chen Tao, and the woman was Luna.
With the help of a micro wormhole, Chen Tao and Luna came to the Kingdom of Jin.
As soon as he arrived, Chen Tao saw the little girl stealing things.
When Xiaoxi heard this, she hurriedly hid the fish behind her. She looked at Chen Tao nervously and said, "No, this is mine."
Chen Tao was stunned.
Thinking about it.
Chen Tao understood that she thought Chen Tao was going to steal her food, so she was nervous.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to steal your food. On the contrary, I'm here to give you food."
Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand, and a piece of grilled steak wrapped in oil paper appeared in his hand.
The grilled steak appeared, and a time fragrance factor overflowed, and the aroma came.
Xiaoxi's big eyes stared straight at the grilled steak in Chen Tao's hand.
She was so hungry that she didn't care how the grilled steak appeared out of thin air. What was more important to her now was whether the grilled steak would go into her stomach.
Seeing Xiaoxi's expression, Chen Tao squatted down and handed the grilled steak to Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi quickly reached out to take it, and then took a big bite.
Probably because it was hot, Xiaoxi frowned, opened her mouth to blow away the heat, and chewed.
It was very hot, but she couldn't bear to spit it out.
Xiaoxi wolfed down the steak.
Watching Xiaoxi's movements.
Chen Tao's eyebrows stretched slightly.
"Children like her can be found everywhere in Jin. Now this is the capital of Jin, people's lives are a little better, and there are stalls on the street, giving her the opportunity to steal things." Luna explained to Chen Tao, she said: "In other places outside the capital, there are no stalls. People eat tree roots and bark..., even if they want to steal, they don't have the opportunity to steal. Many people will starve to death."
Luna looked at Xiaoxi indifferently, her expression did not change at all, she seemed to have gotten used to this scene.
Chen Tao looked at the dirty little girl in front of him.
He stood up, thinking about looking around first.
Seeing Chen Tao leave, Luna followed Chen Tao.
Chen Tao was halfway there, or she heard footsteps coming.
Soon, the corner of her clothes tightened slightly.
He was startled, turned around and looked at his side.
Xiaoxi held the fish in one hand and the corner of Chen Tao's clothes in the other hand. She raised her dirty face and looked at Chen Tao with big eyes.
Her face was not clearly visible because of the hair and dirt, but her clear eyes were very bright.
There was pleading and helplessness in her clear and bright eyes.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "Want to follow me?"
Xiaoxi nodded quickly.
Chen Tao said, "Okay, then before you follow me, throw the fish away first."
Xiaoxi was stunned. She raised her left hand and looked at the fish in her left hand. She bit her lower lip. Although she was reluctant, she still threw the fish on the ground.
Xiaoxi looked at Chen Tao.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to take a bath."
Xiaoxi's eyes were bright and she hummed.
Luna, who was watching this scene, felt strange.
There are so many people struggling on the verge of death in this world, and there are countless people who starve to death.
But... those people have not met people like Chen Tao.
If there were more people like Chen Tao, perhaps there would not be so many people who starved to death.
The three of them came to a room.
Xiaoxi was arranged by Chen Tao to take a bath in the bathroom.
In the room, only Chen Tao and Luna were left.
Luna sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Chen Tao, and said: "What are you going to do next?"
Chen Tao was lying on the bed, he looked at Luna, and said: "I want you to be a hero, what do you think?"
Luna was stunned: "Hero?"
Hearing this, Chen Tao said: "I can provide you with some high-tech military weapons to help you become omnipotent. You use the weapons to protect the territory of the Jin Kingdom. How about it?"
Her eyes lit up slightly.
High-tech military weapons come from the technology of a god-like strong man! If you can use military to strengthen your country, then it is naturally what Luna wants!
"If I can have high-tech military weapons to protect my country, then of course I want it." Luna looked at Chen Tao seriously.
