Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Zhong Zhuanghai handed the small bag to Tian Jingyun. When she took the bag, there was some doubt in her eyes.

"Is this food?" Tian Jingyun asked.

"It's not edible, open it and see for yourself."

She opened the bag carefully, revealing a pair of light green embroidered shoes.

There is a white goose embroidered on the toe of the shoe, and the ripples on both sides of the shoe are like ripples on the water, dotted with some small white flowers.

Tian Jingyun gently touched the pair of embroidered shoes, her eyes shining. The material of these shoes was much better than the ones she had worn before, and they were very beautiful.

"Is this for me?" she asked doubtfully.

This pair of embroidered shoes looks like a little girl's style, and bad guys can't wear them.

"I bought it for you. The shoes you were wearing were torn and your toes were showing."

While packing up his things at the beach, Zhongzhuang said, "If your feet don't feel comfortable walking, I won't carry you. Hurry up and put on your clothes."

Tian Jingyun took off her worn-out shoes and put on the new pair of embroidered shoes.

She looked up at Zhong Zhuanghai, wondering what she was thinking.

......

......

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Zhong Zhuanghai took Tian Jingyun through several towns and villages.

Tian Jingyun had heard from her parents before that the world outside was actually very big and the village was just a small place.

The two of them had encountered bandits, other human traffickers, and met many refugees. Only then did Tian Jingyun realize that the world outside was very chaotic.

She didn't expect the bandits would be interested in a little girl like her, even though the human trafficker in front of her clearly said that she had no charm at all.

Tian Jingyun also knew that Zhong Zhuanghai was very powerful. He faced four bandits alone and was able to protect her and kill them at the same time.

She couldn't understand why such a powerful person would become a human trafficker, and she didn't dare to ask.

Zhong Zhuanghai also took her with him to do commissions, such as escorting merchants or goods, saying that it would cost a lot of money to raise her, and he would earn the money back by selling her later.

Tian Jingyun looked up at Zhong Zhuanghai. She was somewhat doubtful whether the man in front of her was really a human trafficker.

Maybe Zhong Zhuanghai was not the person she imagined.

The children in the hands of human traffickers had many wounds on their bodies, their clothes were tattered, and they probably had nothing to eat.

On the other hand, she had new clothes, food at every meal, and new embroidered shoes on her feet.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zhong Zhuanghai asked her.

If he looked at her like this a month ago, Tian Jingyun would have been a little scared and would have turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Now she dared to meet Zhong Zhuanghai's gaze.

"Nothing, I was just looking at the knife marks on your face."

The knife marks on Zhong Zhuanghai's face were caused by the bandits' knife when he was trying to protect her. He didn't have to be injured.

"It's just a minor injury. There's nothing to be proud of. Just focus on walking. If you fall and sprain your ankle, I won't carry you on my back."

Just after he finished saying this, Tian Jingyun kicked a stone, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

“That’s why I say to focus on walking when you walk.”

"sorry......"

Tian Jingyun stood up quickly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Zhong Zhuanghai walked for a distance, turned around and looked at Tian Jingyun limping away with a look of pain on his face.

It was obvious that she had really sprained her ankle.

Zhong Zhuanghai walked up to her and asked, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

In fact, there is no need to ask. You can tell from the way she walks that she sprained her ankle.

Tian Jingyun wiped her tears with her hands and sobbed, "I'm sorry..."

"I hate to see children crying." Zhong Zhuanghai continued, "If you cry again, I will sell you out."

After he said this, Tian Jingyun cried even harder, and tears kept flowing.

Zhong Zhuanghai sighed softly, reached out and touched Tian Jingyun's head to comfort her.

"I'll buy you a little toy later, don't cry."

Tian Jingyun gradually stopped crying and raised her head, with traces of tears still on her face.

Zhong Zhuanghai withdrew his hand, leaned his back against her, and squatted down.

"Come on up, I'll carry you. I don't know how long it will take for your leg to heal."

Tian Jingyun leaned on his back, her small hands tightly grasping his clothes.

She whispered, "Will you sell me later?"

"You won't be worth much now if you sell it later."

Zhong Zhuanghai stood up. She was a little heavier than she was a month ago. Her nutrition had kept up with her development during this period.

He held Tian Jingyun steadily and began to walk towards the nearby town.

What toy should I buy her later?

......

......

Zhong Zhuanghai bought a small windmill for her in the town.

Tian Jingyun took the red windmill with curiosity on her face and blew gently at the windmill.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the windmill swayed gently, then slowly began to turn.

Tian Jingyun stared at the windmill intently, and her smile became brighter as the windmill turned.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

This was the first time Tian Jingyun said thank you to Zhong Zhuanghai, which made him feel a little strange, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He thought, am I not a human trafficker now? Why do you still say thank you to a bad guy like me?

He sighed, but still couldn't bear to be cruel to the little girl.

Zhong Zhuanghai carried Tian Jingyun on his back and walked to the stall selling candied haws.

The stall owner looked at the two with a smile and asked, "Customer, would you like to buy some candied haws?"

"How to sell it?"

"One string costs three cents, two strings costs five cents."

With a little more money, he could stay in the inn for a night. He would not waste money on food that would not fill his stomach.

He had only eaten candied haws when he was a child.

Zhong Zhuanghai handed three cents to the stall owner and bought a string of candied haws. He still couldn't bear to buy two strings.

Tian Jingyun took the candied haws. She didn't think that it was bought for her because Zhong Zhuanghai only bought one string.

“Is this for me to eat?”

"Tanghus are meant for children. You resisted crying today, so I give you this as a reward." Zhong Zhuanghai replied.

Tian Jingyun had never eaten candied haws before. This kind of food did not exist in the village before, and she had never even heard of it.

She bit off the sugar coating carefully, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth with a hint of sourness.

Some children don’t like to eat candied haws, which can be sour or sweet. Everyone has their own preferences for vegetables and radishes.

"This is a little sour, but it's delicious," she said happily.

He carried Tian Jingyun on his back and walked towards the inn.

"Just eat it if you like it. If you behave well, I'll buy you a bunch every once in a while."

I have always been very obedient. I will do whatever you tell me to do.

What Zhong Zhuanghai didn’t know was that Tian Jingyun’s feet didn’t hurt anymore, she just wanted to stay on his back for a while longer.

She held a small windmill in one hand and a candied haws in the other.

The windmill spun in her hands, making crisp chirping sounds, and she smiled as she ate the candied haws.
