Jill stopped smiling.
When the three little beggars saw this, they didn't dare to say anything anymore. Instead, they wrapped the remaining two grilled fishes with two big tree leaves.
When Jill saw it, she asked, "What are you doing?"
The three little beggars said embarrassedly: "We are already full. We want to wrap these two fish and save them for tomorrow."
Jill was stunned for a moment and understood instantly, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She had been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child, and although she was not extravagant or wasteful, she never had to worry about what she would eat but not finish.
But in the corner that she couldn't see, there were people who couldn't even afford three meals a day. They could only devote themselves to the ruined temple and live a life with no hope.
"Eat it. If you leave it tomorrow, it may go bad and the taste won't be that good." Jill said, "Tomorrow, I will fish for you again."
The beggars were very surprised when they heard this, "Is it true?"
"Yes." Jill agreed, it was just a matter of effort.
After eating the grilled fish, Jill wanted to sleep. Just when she was about to find a place to lie down, the smaller beggar came over, rubbed his hands, and said hurriedly: "Sir, there is hay over there, which is better than just lying on the ground and falling asleep." It will be more comfortable." After a pause, he was afraid that she would dislike it, so he hurriedly explained, "Those hays are all clean. We found them last time and dried them in the sun. They have been left there useless. They can be distributed tonight. use."
Jill walked over and saw two other little beggars sorting hay.
Jill paused. At first, the three of them wanted to rob her of her belongings. She just gave them some food, but they changed their minds and entertained them with the only things they had.
They know how to be satisfied and how to repay kindness.
"Thank you." She thanked her heartily, threw the bundle on the hay, and sat down.
The three little beggars scratched their heads, a little shy.
At night, Jill lay on the haystack, resting her head on one hand, listening to the breathing of the little beggars. She didn't even feel noisy, but felt very real.
The next day.
Jill fulfilled her promise and speared many more fish for them.
Seeing the happy and contented expressions of the little beggars, her heart moved.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish.
So Jill taught them how to spear fish with a pointed wooden fork.
The three beggars were not stupid, and they were in good health. Although it took them half a day to catch the fish, it was enough.
If they practice every day, they will definitely become more proficient at spearing fish.
Jill checked it out, because this place is relatively remote and not very inhabited. There are quite a lot of fish in the stream. If they are not stupid, they will not starve to death.
Eating fish every day will naturally make them tired, but they can take the fish to the city and sell it in exchange for rice and noodles.
Of course, the fish in the stream will be hunted one day, but they can cultivate wasteland here and have hands and feet. As long as they are not lazy, food and clothing will not be a problem.
Jill told them her thoughts, gave them some silver, and planned to leave.
However, what they didn't expect was that the three little beggars saw that she was leaving and insisted on following him.
"Where are you going, Master? Can you take us with you?"
"That's right, we won't eat a lot. We have been to many places and know the way. We can guide you."
"We can also give you a backpack..."
The last little beggar finished speaking excitedly. When he saw the small burden on Jill's shoulders, he stopped talking a little embarrassedly.
