Just as he was fast asleep, a light and shadow quietly appeared beside the bed, and it was Chang Gongwei with a smile. Looking at the sleeping child with a childish expression on his face, he couldn't help but laugh. Would he really choose a child to be his disciple at random? Looking at the child in front of him, he couldn't help but recall his past. He chose the most inconspicuous light system because of his laziness, but he became a genius in the light system and reached his current position step by step. He still clearly remembered the nervousness he felt when he passed notes to his wife in class, and he also remembered the beauty of every moment. A layer of light and shadow faintly appeared in front of him. Within the light and shadow was a picture, and the protagonist in the picture was none other than Ling Yumo, who was sleeping soundly. It happened in Shrek City... Ling Yumo was dressed in luxurious clothes and walked around Shrek City curiously. This was her first time visiting Shrek City, but she had always known that Shrek City had a very high status in the entire Douluo Federation. And the prosperity here really opened her eyes. It wasn't that she had never been to prosperous places, but the historical sediment contained in the prosperity here was something she had never seen before, and this feeling made people feel very comfortable. So, as soon as she came here, she liked it very much. She even couldn't help but send a message to her family, asking if she could buy a house in Shrek City and live here when she had nothing to do. The reply she got was that Shrek City had very strict requirements, and if you wanted to buy a house here, you didn't have to be rich. Ling Yumo was walking when she suddenly saw two children who were younger than her at the corner of the street. It was a man and a woman, squatting in a dark corner, seeming to be talking about something. Their clothes were not only plain, but even a little shabby. Is this... a beggar? There are still beggars in Shrek City? Driven by curiosity, Ling Yumo walked over quietly. In her impression, Shrek City was the holy land of the Douluo Federation and the holy land of soul masters. There were actually beggars in the Holy Land? This immediately reduced her good impression of Shrek City. Standing in the corner, she heard the two children talking.
"Eat quickly." The little boy whispered to the little girl, a little stuttering. The little girl nodded repeatedly, holding a piece of food in her hand that she didn't know was a steamed bun or not, and ate it. After a long time, when there was still half of the food left in the little girl's hand, she suddenly raised her head, stopped, and timidly handed the food to the little boy: "Brother Ah Dai, you eat too." "I'm not hungry. No need to eat. I have to go to work later, otherwise Uncle Li will look for trouble when he comes back. Come on, wait for me here." As he said, the hungry little boy had already stood up. The distance was not too far, so Ling Yumo could see that the little boy looked very ordinary, with a dirty face and dull eyes, somewhat simple. After walking out of the corner, the little boy began to walk aimlessly on the street. What was he going to do? Soon, Ling Yumo knew. When the little boy passed by a well-dressed man, his fingers swiftly took out a wallet from the man's arms. Ling Yumo almost screamed. However, she almost subconsciously covered her mouth and did not scream. After stealing the wallet, the boy immediately returned to the dark corner, found the little girl, grabbed her hand, turned and left. Driven by curiosity, Ling Yumo followed him subconsciously, and the sympathy in her heart suddenly disappeared. She had never seen such darkness before. Ling Yumo followed them and walked straight down the slightly dark alley. Not long after, she heard a noisy sound in front of her. In the distance, there seemed to be some beggars gathered there who were dressed similarly to the little boy and girl. Among them, there was a tall man who was shouting something.
"Uncle Li." Ah Dai walked over with the girl and quickly handed over the wallet in her hand.
The tall man was Uncle Li. He saw the small amount of money in her wallet and said, "Trash, that's it? Where's the money the girl earned?"
The little girl shrank back in fear: "Uncle Li, I, I really can't do it."
"Can't?" Uncle Li laughed fiercely, took out a whip, and started to beat her. Ah Dai hurriedly jumped towards the girl and used his body to help her block the whip. "No? I told you not to."
Uncle Li slapped her hard, "Are you worse than a fool? Even a fool can learn it."
"Uncle Li, stop fighting... the girl is just crying.
Soon, Ah Dai's body was already bruised and bruised. Uncle Li then put away his whip and sneered: "Because you can protect her, and you can do your part. If you can't finish it, you two will starve to death."
"Okay.." Ah-Dai said with a slight stutter.
Uncle Li's figure finally disappeared at the end of the alley. The little girl's head slammed into Ah Dai's arms and she cried bitterly. Ah Dai carefully patted the girl's shoulder, and said: "Oh my, don't, don't cry. Does it hurt?" After a while, the little girl stopped crying, raised her little face that was red from the cold, looked at the boy in front of her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Ah Dai, it really hurts to live!"
"It doesn't hurt if you're full. Weren't you full just now?"
The little girl looked at the silly but very sincere boy in front of her, took the bun, sobbed a few times, and said, "Brother Ah Dai, why are you so good to me?"
Ah Dai pulled the girl. Sitting in the corner, he took off his torn cotton-padded jacket, draped it over their shoulders, huddled with the girl, and said innocently: "Am I good to you? Come and eat the steamed bun. Eat it. The steamed bun is no longer warm. I will catch another target later." As he said that, he looked at the half of the steamed bun in the girl's hand that was as cold as stone with saliva. Seeing Ah Dai's confused face, he couldn't help but feel a little crazy. He used both hands to divide the half of the steamed bun into two parts. The girl handed a piece to Ah Dai.
Ah Dai swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself."
The girl put it into Ah Dai's hand and said, "I have a small mouth and can't eat that much." As she spoke, she held a quarter of it with both hands and slowly bit it. She swallowed the quarter piece with her head bright. Because she ate too fast, she choked: "Ah, woo." Halfway through, she finished eating slowly and suddenly said to Ah Dai: "AhDai, wait until I grow up let's get married"
Ad Dai had a hard time thinking about the meaning of the word 'marry' and after a long time he hesitated and said: "What does marry mean?"
The girl sighed secretly and said: "Marrying means that I will be your wife and take care of you for the rest of my life. I will take care of you. You promised and you are not allowed to repeat it. From now on, I will be your fiancé. You must treat me well from now on."
Ah Dai nodded and said: "Fiancé? Oh, okay, then I will give you more steamed buns every day."
The girl rolled her eyes at him and fell silent. After a long time, with the help of the cotton-padded jacket, the girl became warm. She put the cotton-padded jacket on Ah-Dai's shoulders again and said to him: "Brother Ah-Dai, take it, quickly look for prey, or Uncle Li will scold you again. I will go with you."
Ah Dai nodded, helped the girl up, and asked, "Little girl why do you have better skills than me, but you always give the stolen goods back to others?"
The girl sighed and said, "Brother Ah Dai. Don't you know that stealing other people's things is wrong?"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "But if we don't catch stealing, we will starve!"
The girl knew that she and the man were stupid, and she couldn't explain it clearly. She simply stopped talking and pulled Ah Dai out of the alley. The two of them walked towards the most prosperous area in the city. It was just that there would be a good target. The few people they stole things from came back to see them. Not far away, suddenly a call came from behind them. "Little girl, stop." Ah Dai was shocked, and turned around at the same time as the girl. What appeared in front of them was a beautiful carriage. The face of an old woman appeared in the small window of the carriage who had returned the money bag a few days ago. "Little girl, it really is you! A surprised smile appeared on the old woman's face."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and with the help of the maid, the old woman got out of the carriage. She was dressed luxuriously. The girl never imagined that it was made of cloth, and covered with a mink fur shawl.
"What's wrong with you?" Ah Dai thought that the old woman was going to cause trouble for the girl, so he immediately put his head back and looked at the old woman in front of him warily.
The old woman smiled and said, "Children, don't be afraid. Little girl, you returned the wallet to me, and I haven't thanked you yet. Why are you wearing thin clothes on this cold day!"
The girl shook her head and said, "You don't need to thank me. I stole your wallet."
Ah Dai was shocked. What would happen if he was caught by the person who owned the wallet? He immediately covered the girl's mouth and said urgently, "Girl, don't talk nonsense."
The old woman was still smiling, "Then why did you return the wallet to me?"
The girl pulled Ah Dai's hand and gathered her courage to say, "I saw that you were very anxious, so I returned it to you."
"I know that you didn't steal things voluntarily, right? Where are your parents?"
The girl's eyes were red and she said, "I don't have parents, I'm an orphan."
The old woman frowned and sighed, "A good child like you shouldn't suffer here. Come, let grandma take a look." She waved at the girl.
Ah Dai was afraid that the girl would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly said: "Don't go, little girl let's go quickly."
The little girl did not listen to Ah Dai's persuasion, she vaguely felt that maybe the old woman in front of her would change her life. She walked towards the old woman with her head down and stood there trembling. The old woman lifted the little girl's dirty face, brushed her messy hair back, took out a white handkerchief from her arms and wiped her face, nodded and said: "My child, you have suffered a lot, are you willing to go with grandma? Grandma can give you a good life and allow you to receive a normal education." The girl's big eyes lit up, and she turned to Ah-Dai. Standing still. "Why, my child, don't you want to go with me? My husband is the governor of Mica Province. The place where the Dian County Kingdom and the Holy See are located, it's like spring all year round. It's very cold here."
The girl looked at the gorgeous and glamorous clothes on the old woman's body, and asked hesitantly: "Grandma, can you take my brother with you?"
The old woman looked at Ah Dai, and happened to see Ah Dai wiping his snot with his hand. There were two yellow snots coming out of his nose, and he looked stupid. A look of disgust appeared in the old woman's eyes. She shook her head and said, "No, he's just trying to trick me. He's not an honest child. Make up your mind, it's very cold here."
The girl hesitated for a moment, looked at the carriage and the old woman in front of her, then looked at the shabby Ah Dai, and nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The old woman smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, this is a well-behaved child, let's go."
When we get on the train, we have to find a place to help you change your clothes first. You will freeze if you wear too little."
The girl said, "Grandma, please wait for me for a while." As she said that, she turned around and ran quickly towards AhDai: "Brother Ah Dai I'm leaving, don't blame me okay? I really don't want to live a life like this without food and clothing anymore. Brother Ah Dai, you must remember what we just said. When I grow up, I will definitely come back to you."
Ah Dai said, "Little girl, do you really want to go? Uncle Li will beat you if he finds out."
Two lines of tears fell from the girl's eyes, and she choked up and said, "Brother Ah Dai don't worry, he will never beat me again in the future. I'm leaving, you must remember what we just said. If there is a chance, leave Uncle Li. Stop being a thief." After that, before Ah Dai asked the girl how she could steam the buns if she wasn’t a thief, the girl had already turned around and ran towards the old woman. The old woman got on the carriage first, and with the help of the maid, the girl also got on the carriage. She got into the warm and beautiful carriage. Before lowering the curtain, the little girl looked at Ah Dai again, as if she wanted to remember the appearance of Ah Dai standing there blankly, watching the carriage leave. "Are you stupid?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside Ah-Dai. When he turned his head back, he saw someone beside him.
