In order not to be found by Chu Qi and others, Jill chose to take the mountain road.
She didn't know where she was, what kind of place she was.
She just walked aimlessly, passing through one mountain after another, and met many people. Sometimes she was lucky enough to encounter a small town, so she would find an inn to stay in the small town. Sometimes she was not lucky enough to leave. It was already dark when she arrived in the wilderness, so she would fly to a tree and spend the night. Occasionally, there would be a ruined temple, so she would sleep in it for the night.
This time, she walked to an unknown suburb. It happened to be dark, and there happened to be a ruined temple nearby, so she planned to spend the night in the ruined temple.
But when she entered, she found that there was already someone inside.
Three little beggars in tattered clothes were gathering to warm themselves by the fire. They were a little surprised when they saw Jill coming in. Then, they stared at the baggage on her body and thought wrongly.
The three of them looked at each other tacitly. The older beggar in the middle stood up, walked towards Jill, and said with a fierce look: "Boy, where are you from?"
He had no idea how ridiculous he looked. Because of his immature age, it had no deterrent effect, but instead made people feel a little funny.
Jill ignored him, carried the bundle, and sat down against the wall. Then she took out the beef jerky from the bundle and chewed it slowly.
In order to make it easier to walk, she always dressed in men's clothing and did some tricks on her face to hide her overly beautiful appearance.
When the beggar saw her eating beef jerky, his mouth watered.
The same goes for the other two.
They were beggars, originally begging for food in the city, but there were also bullies among the beggars. The three of them were often bullied, and most of the food and money they begged for were robbed.
The three of them could not bear the oppression, so they fled to the countryside.
Since they didn't get any food today, the three of them were already starving.
Seeing that Jill was eating so well, the three of them swallowed hard and stared at Jill as if they were looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Jill heard the sound of swallowing, paused, took out a package of beef cattle from the bag, and threw it over.
When the three of them saw this, they rushed over, grabbed the beef jerky, and ate it hungrily.
Looking at the three people eating, Jill was stunned.
In fact, after traveling to so many places, she has met many different kinds of people and also seen beggars. However, those beggars walked away after begging for food. This was the first time she saw such hungry beggars.
How long had it been since they had eaten
She was a little stunned.
Compared to their predicament, she seemed to be much luckier than them, having lived in fine clothes since she was a child.
She pursed her lips and fell into thought.
The three beggars quickly ate the beef jerky, and then looked at Jill with unsatisfied eyes.
Jill thought for a while, took the baggage and walked out of the temple.
Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly followed.
When they first saw Jill entering the ruined temple, they had the idea of taking away her belongings, but now, that thought faded away.
Just before entering the ruined temple, Jill passed a stream and saw clearly fish in it.
She whittled a wooden fork with a dagger, then threw down the bundle, walked to the stream, and stared at the fish in the stream.
Soon, she locked the target and stabbed the wooden fork in her hand accurately.
Immediately, a lively fish was speared out of the water by her.
Three little beggars had been following her. When they saw this, they exclaimed and immediately ran over and picked up the fish she threw in the grass.
"Sir, you are so awesome!" The three of them said with admiration, their eyes shining brightly.
They also came here to catch fish, but they failed every time and even fell into the water.
Jill asked: "Can you kill fish?"
The little beggars nodded, "Yes."
