Chapter 150: Chapter 84 Trip to Yuzhou (5) The Suffering of the Common People_3

"I’ll serve myself." The child quickly got off the ground when he saw his mother not serving him rice.

Entering the stove area, he stood on tiptoes to see inside the iron pot on the stove, only to find no rice left in it.

With a "wah," he burst into tears, "That big brother ate all my rice, wuuu wuuu..."

Xiao Jinxing was relishing his meal at the moment.

At the child’s outburst, he was enveloped in a sheer awkwardness.

The woman also felt awkward, "The child doesn’t understand, please, take your time and eat."

With that, she went to the stove house.

"Eat!" Ye Qichi noticed that Xiao Jinxing was clearly losing his appetite.

He probably never imagined that one day he would compete with a child for food.

Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.

He was ready to put down his chopsticks.

"Finish it. How can you justify it to the child with a hungry belly if you don’t?" Ye Qichi reminded.

Xiao Jinxing’s complexion was not looking good.

Ye Qichi didn’t say much more. By now, she too had finished eating and left the table.

Facing the simple meal in front of him, Xiao Jinxing suddenly found it tasteless.

Ye Qichi approached the stove house to see the small boy being lectured by the woman.

"Doggy, right?" Ye Qichi cracked a slight smile.

Doggy’s face was smeared with tears, but now, with his mother prohibiting him from crying, his eyes swelled with restrained sobs.

"How about Sister teaches you a game?" Ye Qichi suggested kindly.

Doggy looked at them with tear-veiled eyes.

"Come on, Sister will teach you a game," called Ye Qichi.

Doggy glanced at his mother, and only upon receiving her approval did he wipe his tears and approach Ye Qichi.

"Do you know how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Ye Qichi asked.

The boy shook his head.

Ye Qichi then explained to him how to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

"You follow Sister, and whoever loses at the end, we’ll tickle the other’s nose, okay?"

"Okay," the boy agreed with no hesitation.

Ye Qichi smiled slightly and started, "Two little bees, flying among the flowers, fly and fly..."

The boy followed Ye Qichi’s instructions and began to play with her.

Soon, the boy’s joyous laughter could be heard.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Jinxing also headed to the stove house and saw the image of Ye Qichi playing with the little boy.

Ye Qichi was beaming with a radiant smile, showing great patience with the little boy, always bringing him to bursts of laughter.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes moved slightly, then he walked out.

This woman seemed to always bring joy to others, no matter the circumstances.

Even while fleeing, there wasn’t a hint of despair, let alone any complaint.

Standing at the entrance of the small earthen house, Xiao Jinxing took in the view of this remote area.

He really hadn’t expected that the state’s conscription would be carried out in such a brutal manner.

"Young man." A woman’s voice came from behind him. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Xiao Jinxing turned around.

He was still somewhat uncomfortable with the woman’s enthusiasm.

He had never been so casual with anyone else before.

It was either him bowing to others, or others showing him respect, making it rare for him to interact with people this way.

"Have a seat," the woman brought out a stool.

Xiao Jinxing wanted to refuse, but the stool was already placed beside him.

He wanted to say "thank you," but couldn’t bring himself to utter the words.

In the end, he took a seat on the small stool.

"I’ve heard about you and the lady. She is a good girl; you must treat her well," the woman said with a smile.

Xiao Jinxing did not speak.

"You must be a rich young master," the woman had not seen much of the world, but could tell this man was different from the others.

Xiao Jinxing did not reply.

The woman, realizing he was not a chatty person, did not press further and returned to the house.

Inside the house, the sounds of Ye Qichi playing and laughing with the little boy continued, as if... filling the entire world with joy.

Nightfall.

The woman prepared a simple wooden bed for them.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi naturally shared it.

The two of them cleaned themselves up one after the other.

Ye Qichi asked the woman to prepare a set of peasant clothes for both men and women for them.

It wasn’t that she disliked their own clothes for being dirty; it was mainly for better blending in when they snuck into Yuzhou.

After cleaning up.

Ye Qichi went to the woman’s room and spoke, "Big sister, I know you’re a good person, and I don’t want to implicate you. If someone comes to investigate us later on, you must say you haven’t seen us, especially Doggy, you must tell him not to let anything slip."

"You are..." The woman was clearly frightened by Ye Qichi’s seriousness.

"Don’t worry, we’re not bad people, it’s just that many things are out of our control. But to avoid implicating you, you must remember to keep silent," Ye Qichi urged.
