Bai Sangyu felt that the braised beef was almost ready, so she planned to enter the house to rest. Before entering the house, she heard a knock on the door. She was a little puzzled, it was so late, who else would look for them
She didn't dare to open the door easily, and shouted at the door: "Who?" After a long time, no one responded to her, but Tang Jinxiao was called out.
"What's the matter? Did someone look for it?" Tang Jinxiao waited for Bai Sangyu in the house for a long time, but he didn't see anyone until Bai Sangyu's voice sounded before he went out to see what was going on.
"I just heard someone knock on the door and asked who it was, but there has been no response." Bai Sangyu pointed to the door and said. But after a long time, there was no movement at the door.
"Perhaps you are too tired recently, so you have some auditory hallucinations. Go in and rest early." Tang Jinxiao pushed the white sangyu halfway into the house with one hand, and closed the door of the living room with the other.
Bai Sangyu felt a little sleepy, so she climbed onto the bed and covered the quilt to fall asleep. Not long after she heard a little movement in her sleepiness, she sat up, her eyes were still distraught, and she was frightened by Tang Jinxiao who was standing at the door some time ago. Jumped.
Bai Sangyu almost yelled out a voice. Fortunately, Tang Jinxiao covered her mouth in time and made a "hush" motion at her, beckoning her not to make a sound.
Bai Sangyu's small mouth was lightly covered by Tang Jinxiao's slender hands, and only a pair of wide-open eyes blinked at Tang Jinxiao incomprehensibly.
"Sang Yu, there seems to be a thief in the house, don't say anything, I'll go out and have a look." Tang Jinxiao understood Bai Sangyu's meaning and explained to her.
Bai Sangyu's heart sank when she heard that a thief had entered the house, wondering if it was the little thief who injured Liang Ying, and if so, then today she will take care of this wicked person who is not as good as a beast.
While Tang Jinxiao was tiptoing out, Bai Sangyu also quietly followed, and saw that there was no one in the living room, and also looked at Sister Ying's bedroom. There was no one there. Where did that sound come from
Now there was only the kitchen left. Bai Sangyu took a deep breath to strengthen her courage. Following Tang Jinxiao, the two of them walked to the kitchen unconsciously, and the strange voice became clearer and clearer.
In the dark kitchen, a person's shadow was clearly reflected in the front, each head was not very high, and it was similar to the white mulberry. Tang Jinxiao turned on the kitchen light, and Bai Sangyu saw the money thief.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is now gulping in stewed beef made from white mulberry, his clothes are filled with patches, his hair is messy into a bird’s nest, his face is full of dirt, I can’t see what it looks like. .
The boy was eating beef, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted in his heart: No, I was found. Just want to run away, but Bai Sangyu and Tang Jinxiao have already blocked the door.
The boy still wanted to jump out of the window. Tang Jinxiao seemed to see through his premeditated plan, and as soon as he reached out his hand, he caught the little thief who wanted to escape.
"Let go of me, you let me go!" The boy was struggling and didn't mean to be afraid.
"Let go of you, but you have to tell me why you appeared in our house." Bai Sangyu did not intend to embarrass a fifteen or six year old boy, but just wanted to know how he got in.
The boy did not give in because of Bai Sangyu's easy-going tone, and remained silent without saying a word.
"I still think that if you say everything, this pot of beef will invite you to eat." Bai Sangyu did not feel angry because of the boy's silence, but chose to fuck him.
Sure enough, when Bai Sangyu said to ask him to eat this pot of beef, the boy's expression immediately changed, but he still said suspiciously: "What you said is true? If I honestly confess, this pot of beef will belong to me?"
"Don't lie to you, tell us honestly, we will not embarrass you." Tang Jinxiao felt that the child was not a bad person, so he let go of his hand and cooperated with Bai Sangyu to lure him.
The boy who was let go, glanced at Bai Sangyu and Tang Jinxiao, and then revealed everything together.
"I...Walking on the road, I smelled a very fragrant smell, it was so fragrant, I grew up so old, and I have never smelled such a fragrant beef. I found here looking for the smell, I thought it didn’t People just knock on the door and try."
"Later I called out. Did you think someone was there and you ran away?" Bai Sangyu now understood why the knock at the door disappeared when he shouted.
"Yeah, so just after you all fell asleep, you sneaked over the wall and came in. I was really hungry..."
As soon as he finished saying the word hungry, the boy's stomach screamed unconvincingly, Bai Sangyu and Tang Jinxiao heard it clearly, and both showed a slight smile.
The boy blushed a little embarrassedly, Bai Sangyu said what he said, found a white bowl, and scooped a spoonful of beef from the pot to the boy.
The boy's eyes glowed, and he almost "snatched" it over and gobbled it up again. Bai Sangyu persuaded him to eat so urgently, fearing that he might choke.
"Eat slowly, and it's easy to choke when eating so quickly." The boy hardly listened, and ate even more urgently. Tang Jinxiao didn't speak, but took the braised beef that the boy was eating.
"Listen to my sister, you should finish eating in your mouth first, and I will return it to you."
Under Tang Jinxiao's simple and rude threat, the boy finally did not eat so fast, and slowly chewed.
"How old are you this year, how can you be alone in the city without having enough to eat?" Bai Sangyu saw that the boy should be full, so she asked about business.
The boy stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and buried his head very low. Only after a long time did he speak his experience in a tender voice.
"I came here alone. When I was very young, because my family was poor and there were many children, I was sold by my father to the traffickers. I didn’t know how many people were in the traffickers’ hands, but nobody Willing to ask me."
The boy picked up a piece of beef, stuffed it in his mouth, and continued vaguely.
"I'm afraid that every day because I can't sell it, I will be beaten by traffickers. When they are not paying attention, I run out desperately. I don't know how long I have to escape, so I fled here."
Hearing what happened to the boy, Bai Sangyu's sympathy was affected. Perhaps she was lucky. Although she didn't know who her biological parents were, at least they hadn't thought about taking her to herself.
Seeing the boy stuffing his cheeks so loudly, she asked again: "Do you know your name?"
"I don't have a name, even if I did, I might have forgotten it." The boy swallowed the last bite of braised beef and said. Tang Jinxiao knew that this child had no father or mother, and suddenly felt a little bit empathetic. No one knew the feeling of being alone and alone better than him.
"Do you want to continue eating delicious beef in the future?" Tang Jinxiao asked the boy.
