The afterglow of the setting sun slowly lengthened. The two of them wandered on the street for most of the day, with tired faces that could not conceal their hunger.
"Your Majesty, how are you? Can you still bear it?" Nalan looked at Xuan Ye who looked pale with worry.
Xuan Ye sat down on the ground
"We are selling steamed buns, big and hot steamed buns,"
The sound of hawking not far away reached their ears clearly.
Glancing at their growling stomachs, the two of them stared straight at the steaming bun shop not far away.
"Pick up money! I don't think there's even a coin on the street." Nalan looked dejected.
Xuan Ye patted Nalan's shoulder hard: "It's all you, why did you take out the money for nothing!"
Every time he thought about the money that fell into Chen Meili's hands, he felt angry and angry. Xuan Ye wished he could kick Nalan more often.
People were coming and going on the street. Two people were sitting on the ground, looking up at the sky.
"Look at the world," an old lady walked slowly in front, "Look at these two children, they are pitiful, pitiful,"
"Ding, ding"
Nalan looked at the two copper plates on the ground, then looked at Xuan Ye's face, and found that the other person was also looking at him.
Nalan picked up the copper plate and wanted to put it into his arms.
Xuan Ye grabbed it and caught up with the old lady in two steps.
"Mother-in-law, you dropped something!"
The old lady looked at the copper plate in Xuan Ye's hand, and then at Xuan Ye's face
"Children, this is for you." After saying that, he shook his head and walked away.
Xuan Ye stared at the copper plate in his hand in trance.
"Your Majesty, actually I already knew this was for us." Nalan hesitated: "She treats us as beggars. It's none of your business if I take it. I'm a beggar."
Nalan grabbed the copper plate and ran towards the bun shop.
Xuan Ye stared at his empty hands without saying a word
Xuan Ye was startled by the hot feeling in his hands and looked at the two extra buns.
"Your Majesty, eat it quickly, it will be terrible if you are seen by the beauty."
Nalan threw a bun in his hand from left to right, blowing on it with his mouth.
"you?"
"Amma said, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and we are your 'people'" Nalan explained the bun in his hand: "The elders and the younger are in order."
Xuan Ye moved his eyes back to his hands
"Uh-huh!" Chen Meili's voice came from behind.
Nalan looked at the bag in his hand, then looked at Chen Meili's face, and hesitantly handed over the hand holding the bag.
"Eat!" Chen Meili smiled faintly: "This is the fruit of your labor."
The two of them looked at each other and took a firm bite of the buns, feeling the fragrance in their mouths.
"Are you happy?" Chen Meili asked
"No" Xuan Ye said lightly, a smile spread from the corner of his mouth to his eyes: "It's happiness, a very strong happiness"
Chen Meili nodded vigorously: "Hope is always not far ahead, and so is happiness, as long as you persist."
"Heaven is about to entrust this man with a great responsibility, but he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body." Wang Fuquan, who was not far away, said with tears in his eyes: "This is not a good thing for the third brother Wei Chang.
,,”
Wang Fuquan turned to look at Butler Wang: "Did the old lady send you away?"
