Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Gu Ling's eyes widened slightly. Beggars were afraid of her? Why?

She squatted on the ground and drew circles, feeling that she could not just sit there and wait for death. Since the beggars would not tell her the whereabouts of the boy, she would go and find him herself.

Jiang Nian ran away and entered the city, patting his chest.

What the hell, how did that kid find the ruined temple? No, why hasn't she returned home yet? Could it be that she was robbed of her money and she doesn't dare to go back?

He figured it out now. It seemed that the person the beggars were talking about last night was the one he robbed.

He looked at the street in front of him which was gradually becoming bustling, and stroked his chin.

It looks calm and peaceful, and it doesn't look like anyone is looking for a child. Or is it because it's too early and the servants haven't found this place?

Gugugu~~~

His stomach growled, Jiang Nian touched it and prepared to go have a good meal first.

The guy who robbed money over there was already eating hot wontons, while the girl who was robbed over here had just walked into the city.

Gu Ling was walking on the street, his eyes sweeping over the beggars begging on the street inch by inch.

The lame man at the door of the inn jumped out of the dilapidated temple this morning.

The one with the crooked arm that seemed to be broken came out this morning with the other beggars, arm in arm.

The guy who was crying miserably next to the noodle shop said this morning with full energy that he would definitely have a full meal today.

The skinny man with gray hair was holding a broken bowl in his hand, and his hands were shaking as if he had epilepsy. This morning...

Oh, she didn’t see this person this morning. She probably got up earlier than her.

Gu Ling walked around the street but couldn't find the boy who robbed the money. She squatted beside the lame beggar and asked, "Why do you pretend to be lame?"

The beggar glared at her fiercely: "I am just lame, don't talk nonsense! Get out of here!"

Gu Ling's gaze turned: "Is your hand really broken?"

"roll."

Gu Ling didn't leave. She walked to the side of the noodle shop. Before she squatted down, the beggar started crying out "ouch, ouch" non-stop, and each time he cried out, the sound became louder and louder.

Gu Ling covered his ears with his hands and left, squatting in a corner. He turned his head and saw a beggar holding a bowl.

The beggar glanced at her and smiled: "Shut up."

"Oh."

After squatting for a while, his legs felt a little numb, so Gu Ling sat on the ground, looking at the empty broken bowl, and then at the bustling crowd that never stopped.

It seems so difficult to be a beggar.

The beggar pretended not to see her and continued to beg for money: "Please be kind and give me some money!"

After holding it in for a while, Gu Ling still couldn't hold it in: "You're shaking like this, even if you want to throw money, you can't throw it into the bowl."

Can't hear, can't hear.

The beggar did what he wanted: "Please be kind and give me something to eat!"

Gu Ling stood up and went somewhere else. He came back around afternoon and sat next to the beggar again.

She observed for a day and finally realized that these beggars were just trying to gain sympathy.

She stretched out her two white and tender little hands and said in a crisp and childish voice: "Please be kind and give me some money!"

After a while, someone actually threw a coin to her.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, sister!"

He turned around and shook the coin at the beggar: "See, I told you your hands were shaking too much."

The beggar widened his eyes and said, "No, why are you stealing my business?"

Gu Ling took the copper coins and bought a vegetarian bun. He stood in front of the beggar and said, "Don't move. The bun will fall to the ground."

The beggar was stunned for a moment, and then a vegetarian bun appeared in his broken bowl that had been empty for a day.

The beggar grabbed the bun and gobbled it up, then left while eating, fearing that Gu Ling would snatch it from him.

The bowl was empty, Gu Ling picked up the bowl and held it with both hands: "Please be kind and give me some money!"

But this time her luck was not good, and she didn't get a single copper coin until dark.

She sighed and walked towards the dilapidated temple with the broken bowl in her hand.

What does it feel like to be hungry?

She thought about it, recalled the beggar's appearance, and decided that it would be better not to try.

She did not enter the dilapidated temple, but remained under the tree outside it.

She held her face with both hands and stared at the broken bowl in front of her in a daze.

It's hard to be a beggar.

The day after leaving his master, Gu Ling became a little beggar.

In the dilapidated temple, Gu Ling was still the topic of conversation among the beggars.

"It seems like no one is looking for her. Is she really an unwanted child?"

"She dresses so well and looks so fair and tender, who wouldn't want her?"

"Maybe he's a fool. He even bought me a bun today!"

"She looks familiar to me, I think I've seen her before." A beggar tapped his palm thoughtfully, "The clinic on East Street! She used to be with Doctor Gu!"

The beggars suddenly became excited and started talking to each other, trying to piece together the truth of why Gu Ling appeared here.

Something must have happened to Doctor Gu, so he abandoned this little girl.

Alas, what a sin.

Jiang Nian, who was lying in the straw pile, felt a little annoyed when he heard this speculation.

So the little girl had so much money in her pocket. Was it the last bit of living expenses that Dr. Gu gave her out of his remaining conscience?

It was obvious that the girl was not smart. She didn't know to chase after the person she was robbed. She finally got the money and used it to buy buns for others. She would probably starve to death in a few days.

Even if she didn't starve to death, looking at her fair and clean appearance, she might be kidnapped and sold by human traffickers.

The more I think about it, the more irritated I become.

He closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about it.

No matter what, the money is his once it's in his pocket. If something happens, it's the kid's fault for being stupid. The culprit is Doctor Gu. What does it have to do with him?

Go to sleep, go to sleep, everything will be fine when you fall asleep.

As the night deepened, the beggars in the dilapidated temple gradually fell asleep. Outside, the sky was covered with dark clouds and faint thunder could be heard.

Jiang Nian couldn't sleep because something was on his mind, so he opened his eyes as soon as the thunder sounded.

In the pitch-dark night, lightning occasionally flashed, illuminating the decaying clay Buddha statue in the dilapidated temple.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down. Some of the rain fell from the dilapidated roof, and the beggar there turned over and went to sleep somewhere else.

Even if it is a dilapidated temple, it is still a place that can shelter from wind and rain.

By the way, is that kid still outside? Can he be so stupid that he can't even hide from the rain?

The cool rain fell on his cheeks. Gu Ling put the broken bowl on his head and ran to the eaves of the dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the small eaves could not block all the rain.

Gu Ling turned the bowl upside down on his head, looked at the closed door, and his eyes fell on the window on the other side.

She climbed up to the window with a grunt, put the bowl in her arms, and jumped down with a plop.

It didn't hurt, but her butt felt soft and a little bit uncomfortable, but she seemed to hear some sound.

"Get off me, little brat!"

The low, forbearing, and vicious voice came from a place very close.

Gu Ling got off Jiang Nian's belly and imitated him in speaking with a whisper. She was still young, so her voice sounded even softer: "I'm sorry."
