"Clean it up." Jill said and turned back to spearing fish.
Not long after, she reached six.
Looking at the three little beggars squatting by the stream killing fish, Jill sat down on the stone.
At this time, one of the little beggars finished killing the fish, wiped his hands on his clothes, walked over, picked up the bundle she threw on the grass, and returned it to her.
"Thank you." Jill took it and said thank you.
The little beggar was a little flattered. He waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Sir, to be honest, the three of us wanted to rob you..." After saying this, he lowered his head in shame.
Jill said calmly: "I know."
The beggar was stunned for a moment, and the other two beggars came over and looked at her with the same surprise.
After a long while, they said: "Since you know, why didn't you run away, gave us dried meat to eat, and now you are fishing for us?"
Jill smiled, "You are no match for me. And..." She paused, "I can see that the three of you are courageous and not hopelessly bad."
Hearing this, the three little beggars all felt extremely ashamed and ashamed.
They had been hungry for many days and could not find food to fill their bellies. Sometimes they were so hungry that they could only dig some grass roots to eat.
Today I saw this young master entering the temple and saw her dressed decently, so I had the idea of robbing her property.
Unexpectedly, she would actually give them dried meat to eat and fish for them.
In fact, they are not very old, the oldest is only twelve years old. As Jill said, they are not hopelessly bad.
Ji'er picked up the bundle and said to the three of them: "After cleaning up, let's go back to the temple. Remember to pick up some dry firewood."
The three of them obeyed.
Obviously this boy didn't look much older than them, but he had an aura about him that they didn't dare to disobey.
The aroma of grilled fish filled the entire ruined temple.
Three little beggars squatted aside, looking at the fish grilled on the fire, their mouths watering with greed.
Jill handed the grilled fish to them one by one.
The three of them hurriedly took it and started eating without caring about burning it.
Seeing the three of them eating grilled fish with satisfaction, Jill felt a little touched in her heart.
"You eat too." One of the little beggars couldn't help but persuade her when he saw that she was sitting by the fire and not eating grilled fish.
The other two little beggars also stopped eating the grilled fish and advised her together, "Yes, you don't eat much yourself, so you should eat too."
Jill shook her head, "I'm not hungry. The remaining three are just enough for you."
"We are full, you should eat the rest." The little beggars said anxiously, "If you don't eat enough, you will be hungry at night and it will be very uncomfortable."
Jill was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the eager faces of the three of them, I thought that the three of them must be hungry all the time.
But she didn't expect that they knew how to be polite to her when it came to food.
She had no intention of eating fish, and she was certainly not hungry.
But seeing the concerned expressions on the three people's faces, her heart moved.
After leaving Xishui Pass, she walked many places alone and met many people, but she never crossed paths with them.
It was the same today. She would leave after staying in the ruined temple for one night.
Unexpectedly, she helped them casually, and they treated her with her heart.
A warm feeling flashed through her heart, and she reached out to take the grilled fish from the beggar.
After taking a bite, she smiled and said, "It's delicious."
The three little beggars were stunned.
"Brother Young Master, you look so beautiful when you smile. You're even more beautiful than those rich young men in the city who are well-dressed and well-fed."
