The child frowned and seemed a little unhappy. He jumped down from the chair and opened the door to walk out. "Dog, why are you here?" The child at the door was also an orphan who suddenly appeared in the village like him. Both of them had no memories and lived in the abandoned houses at the entrance of the village. The villagers would help them from time to time, and the two of them lived in the village for five or six years.
Perhaps because of their personalities, although they had the same experiences, the two of them did not have much contact.
"I told you not to call me dog, my name is Jing Qi!" The child frowned and thought of something. He shook the sweet potato in his hand and said with enthusiasm, "Grandma Wang gave me a sweet potato. Let's eat it together?"
"No need!" He shook his head.
Jing Qi did not listen to him at all. He directly stuffed the sweet potato into his hand, and the child had to catch it.
"Eat, eat!" Jing Qi urged. He took a bite and looked at the child while eating. "We are in the same boat. It's normal to help each other." He chuckled and looked generous. His eyes rolled as if he thought of something. He snorted and said, "This village is full of unruly people. How dare they say it's a village protected by immortals. They live a rich life and harvest every year, but they usually ignore us. Where is the demeanor of an immortal? Isn't it because we are young and easy to bully?"
"…" The child was stunned. He glanced at the sweet potato in his hand and subconsciously frowned. He felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he could not tell what it was.
The more Jing Qi spoke, the angrier he became. As if eager to find a sense of approval, he patted the child's shoulder. "Wild boy, believe it or not, one day I will stand out. At that time, I will no longer have to rely on others and trample all these snobs under my feet."
The child was stunned. After a while, he nodded. He just wanted him to leave quickly.
"I knew it. Only you can understand me!" His expression lit up, and he laughed like a little adult. "Just for the sake of your trust, I, your brother, will protect you in the future. Do you want to go out with me?"
"Go out of the village?" The child immediately shook his head. "Everyone says that the outside of the village is very dangerous. We can't go out."
"You believe that?" Jing Qi rolled his eyes and snorted. "Soon, the danger will not be outside the village but inside the village. If you … Huh, what's that smell? " He suddenly sniffed and seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up and he said, "Oh right, I heard from Grandma Wang that she gave you two salted fish. You must not know what to do, right? Why don't I help you? "
Without waiting for his reply, she pushed open the door and walked in.
"Wait …" He hurriedly chased after her.
The other party had already seen Shen Ying sitting inside, and the table in front of her that was filled with unfinished food.
He was completely stunned, as if he had never expected to see such a scene. He stared at the table full of dishes, and there were faint sounds of swallowing.
When the child hurriedly chased after him, his little face immediately scrunched up into a ball, and he looked at the person who rushed in with a disapproving expression.
The child called Jing Qi tried his best to control the desire in his eyes as he looked at the food. He smiled politely at Shen Ying and said in an innocent voice, "Big Sister … are you eating?" As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made a growling sound.
Shen Ying's eyes narrowed, and she replied, "Yes!" Then, as if she did not see his longing gaze, she continued to slurp down the dishes on the table, and the sound became louder than before.
There were not many dishes on the table to begin with, and now they were disappearing rapidly. Soon, there was only half a plate of shredded meat left. A trace of anxiety flashed in Jing Qi's eyes, but he did not dare to ask for more. After some thought, he turned to look at the child beside him and smiled. "Wild boy, who is this beautiful big sister? Is she your lost family member? "
The child looked up at Shen Ying, and then at the person who had come. Only then did he remember that he had not asked who the other party was, and did not know how to answer.
But Jing Qi thought that he was acquiescing, and his smile became even brighter. "I am happy for you that you can find your family, but aren't you being too much? I didn't know that you were eating so well, and I was worried that you would not be full, so I sent you sweet potatoes. " As he laughed, he patted his shoulder vigorously. "We are all brothers, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
With that said, he did not wait for a response, as if he could not bear it anymore, and directly picked up his chopsticks to pick up the plate of shredded meat.
"Wait." The child panicked, instinctively looking at Shen Ying.
Shen Ying did not move at first, but when the other party's chopsticks were about to pick up the food, she suddenly reached out and lifted the bowl, causing the other party to pick up nothing. Then, in front of the other party, she slurped it all into her mouth, leaving not even a bit of gravy.
Only then did she put down the bowl, touch her belly, and say, "I'm full!"
The child: "…"
Jing Qi: "…"
His entire body froze, as if he had not expected that the other party would be so shameless as to snatch food from a child, not even leaving any gravy. His face immediately paled, and his face was full of disbelief.
Instead, the child beside him thought of something, and ran back to the kitchen, took out something and handed it to him. "Doggy, this is for you."
Unsurprisingly, it was the two salted fish. Jing Qi was stunned for a moment, and a sense of humiliation that he had never felt before rose in his heart. Anger suddenly surged, and he slapped the child's hand away. "What do you mean, do you think I'm a beggar?" Not knowing if it was because of anger, his entire face turned red, and his whole body began to tremble. "Wild kid, I did not expect you to be like the people in the village, such a selfish person. Do you think I care about your dishes? "
The child touched his red hand. At first, he was not angry, but now he frowned and said seriously, "These are Big Sister's, I can't give them to you on her behalf, but the salted fish are mine." With that said, he handed the fish in his hand.
"You …" The other party became even angrier. He looked at Shen Ying, as if he wanted to explode in anger, but in the end he was afraid, and could only turn to glare at the child beside him. "To think that I thought you were different from the others, and wanted to help you, I did not expect … Hmph, you will pay for your stupidity!" He seemed to have thought of something, and with a cold snort, he turned and stormed out. He looked as if the other party had really let down his great kindness.
On the other hand, the child looked confused, completely not knowing what was going on. He was not wrong, those dishes were all brought by Big Sister, he was only responsible for cooking. Of course, Doggy had to ask Big Sister if he wanted to eat.
Just as he was thinking, a big hand landed on his head. That Big Sister who could conjure many ingredients suddenly reached out and touched his head, looking straight into his eyes. He only felt a warmth in his heart, and a sense of joy rose in him for no reason. Was Big Sister comforting him? He subconsciously moved closer, wanting to let this trace of warmth linger a little longer.
But he saw that she suddenly bent down and gave him a beautiful smile that made his heart tremble. In the next moment, a sweet voice sounded in his ear. "It's time to wash the dishes!"
