Mu Di led his troops all the way to Hecheng, and Zhao Yiqing fell ill without accident, so he stayed in Chaoshan with Xiao Lian and Yuan Sui, and did not go to fight with him.

By this time, it was mid-October.

Maybe it was because the weather in Liuzhou was too warm, Zhao Yiqing didn't wake up from the cold at night, so his life became more leisurely.

But recently, the house they live in in Chaoshan is not peaceful.

Every day, some things are lost in the house, and they are not valuables, but snacks.

The past two days were even more excessive, many of the dishes cooked in the kitchen were eaten by people before they were served, which made it impossible to eat the whole plate, which made Zhao Yiqing very angry.

So today he led Xiao Lian and Yuan Sui, and the three of them squatted in the corner of the kitchen, covered themselves with a basket, and waited for the thief who stole food to appear.

When the cook finished the dishes and went out with the servants, there was a sudden rustling sound.

Zhao Yiqing's heart shuddered, here we come!

In the courtyard where they live now, the kitchen is next to the courtyard wall, and there is a small intestine path outside the wall, and someone dug a hole from the outside at this location near the wall, and then blocked it with a large tank. up.

Now this big tank is being slowly moved away.

Zhao Yiqing's eyes widened immediately, knowing that the big tank was full of water!How hard it was to get that tank out of the way!

After the big vat was moved away, a not-so-big hole was exposed, and a young man of about fourteen or fifteen came out of the hole.

The boy's stature is not tall, he looks stunted, but his eyes are surprisingly bright.

After he came in, he found a place to put the food familiarly, picked up the chicken leg and started to gnaw, and even if he gnawed, he took out a broken bowl from his arms, poured the vegetables together in a mess, and stuffed some steamed buns in arms.

Guessing that the man was about to come back, he walked towards the entrance of the cave. Seeing this, Zhao Yiqing hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

The young man was startled, and turned around quickly to go to the hole. Seeing this, Yuan Sui rushed forward to grab the young man, but who knew that the young man was so strong that he broke free all of a sudden, like a loach. Drilled out.

Zhao Yiqing hurried to chase, the hole behind the tank was not big, only he and Xiao Lian got through, the two of them went through regardless, leaving Yuan Sui behind the hole with an anxious face.

The young man was running fast, and by the time Zhao Yiqing and the others got out of the cave, the young man had already run far away. According to Zhao Yiqing's speed, he would definitely not be able to catch up, so he shouted at the young man in a hurry: "Hey! Don't run! Are you It's not that you want to eat, I'll let you eat!"

Ordinary people who stole things would never turn their heads when they heard this, but the young man didn't know what to think, not only turned his head, but also turned around and ran back to Zhao Yiqing, asking, "Really?"

It was only then that Zhao Yiqing saw the boy's appearance clearly.

The young man was a little pretty, but there was a scar on his left eye, which looked a little frightening, making his originally peaceful face a bit more ferocious, but his eyes were clear and bright, as if there was light.

He didn't dress well, he looked tattered, his face was dirty, and he still had a bad smell on his body.

But Zhao Yiqing thought of the boy's astonishing strength, and felt that he might be a genius, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Really."

The boy's eyes lit up instantly, and his tone was full of simplicity and innocence.

"Is it okay to take care of a few more people?"

Zhao Yiqing felt distressed all of a sudden, and immediately waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter how many people there are, you can bring as many as you have!"

But when the boy came to Zhao Yiqing's yard with more than 20 half-grown children, Zhao Yiqing fell silent.

Because more than 20 dirty children stand together, it is too much!Smelly!up!

Zhao Yiqing was almost smoked, and he asked Xiaolian to boil water with a dark face, and then threw the more than 20 children into the bathtub to wash them thoroughly.

Don't talk about the dirt on these children's bodies. It's just that the hair hasn't been washed for a long time. It's all knotted and can't be combed through.

to cut.

Fortunately, although these children are young, they are very sensible, they don't cry or make trouble, and they even take the initiative to help Zhao Yiqing and the others carry water and do work, but even so, Zhao Yiqing is tired enough.

He bathed the group of children from noon to evening before they finished washing them all.

Looking at this group of [-]th, [-]th and [-]th five-year-old children in neat clothes, clean and fragrant, Zhao Yiqing was extremely satisfied.

They stood in a row, looking quite disciplined, but everyone seemed a little stunted, looking like they hadn't had enough to eat.

At this time, a child's stomach was rumbling suddenly and Zhao Yiqing realized that it was time to eat. He waved his hand and let the cook start serving the food.

Although this cook's skill is not as good as Lao Tie Tang's, but for this group of starving children, it is already a delicacy in the world.

But they looked at the food on the table, but none of them rushed to eat it. Instead, they stood in the courtyard in an orderly manner. Their eyes were all looking straight at the boy who came to steal the food today.

The boy nodded at them, and they scrambled to eat it.

Zhao Yiqing nodded while watching, thinking that this young man is really a character.

Yuan Sui also came over at this moment, and said to Zhao Yiqing, "husband... my lord, this kid is a general."

Zhao Yiqing rubbed his chin and asked, "Is it the rare one?"

"one in ten thousand."

Zhao Yiqing thought about it for a while, and after the boy had finished eating, he called the boy over and asked, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name," the boy said, pointing to the group of children who were still eating: "When I met them, I was six years old, so they called me Xiao Liu, and later all the older ones starved to death, For the rest of the group who are younger than me, just call me Brother Six, and for you who are older than me, just call me Little Six."

When the boy talked about other people starving to death, his face was expressionless, as if it was just like eating and drinking on weekdays, which made Zhao Yiqing inexplicably startled, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "How old are you this year?"

"It should be sixteen."

Although the boy was sixteen, he didn't look like one at all. He looked more like a 14-year-old child, with a short stature.

It's just that no matter how old he is, it's a bit strange for him to bring so many children by himself, so Zhao Yiqing asked, "What's your relationship with them?"

"It doesn't matter." Xiaoliu replied in more detail than Zhao Yiqing imagined. "When I was a child, all my family members died, and I was wandering outside alone. Later, they picked me up. There were more people than now, and they were all younger. I was older than me, so I raised a group of us, but the ones older than me died in the past two years, and they were too young. Fortunately, I am strong, do some physical work, and do some petty theft, and finally let them survived."

Xiao Liu said that he was a little proud, but Zhao Yiqing knew that he should be proud.

He was different from the people here, he was born in a peaceful age, he couldn't see such a thing at all, so he touched the boy's head impulsively, and said: "From now on, you all follow me, I guarantee that you won't go hungry!"

Xiao Liu was a little startled when he heard the words, then raised a big smile and nodded.
