Chapter 3 Kneeling and begging
"Fairy Nangong was so ignorant when she was a child?"
"Yeah, back then, the Demon Emperor was a beggar, and he was starving and left the biscuits to become moldy, but he was able to give the biscuits to Fairy Nangong without hesitation. Fairy Nangong said it was useless to thank him, but instead blamed the biscuits for being too unpalatable. ."
"It's not difficult to understand. Some people say why not eat minced meat. Fairy Nangong has been eating fine clothes and jade since she was a child. How can she understand the suffering of the Devil Emperor as a beggar?"
"Be quiet, be quiet..."
Many strong people showed emotion, and some people were silent. After all, Nangong Rou was not far away, how could she not shy away from speaking ill of her when she was a child.
Nangong Rou didn't scold her, because in her opinion, she was indeed a little naive back then.
......
All over the heavens, countless people looked at the picture in the sky light curtain in shock.
"Being able to do this for a first-time acquaintance proves that the early devil emperor was not bad..."
"Yeah, what kind of experience can you have to create the Devil Emperor that everyone has and kills them today?"
"I'm curious now, how did a mere beggar become a demon emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone just woke up like a dream.
Indeed, how can a little beggar become the devil emperor in charge of the heavens?
......
Half a month later, Nangong Rou's parents did not show up, and she also lived with Jiang Zhige for half a month of starvation.
Jiang Zhige comforts Nangong Rou every time, but after a long time, Nangong Rou can't bear the life of not having enough food.
"Rou'er, I..."
"Go away! Go away! You are not my brother! I want to find my parents!"
Jiang Zhige wanted to dissuade Nangong Rou, but was pushed away by Nangong Rou crying.
Seeing that Nangong Rou was about to run out against the heavy snow, Jiang Zhige hurriedly grabbed her little hand and said in a hurry, "Rou'er, give me a little more time, and I'll definitely come back with something to eat for you today, okay? "
Jiang Zhige knew very well that if Nangong Rou's parents were still in Yucheng, they would have sent someone nearby to look for them, but he had never seen anyone looking for Nangong Rou for half a month, which proved that Nangong Rou's parents were not in Yucheng at all. city.
Nangong Rou is still young and can't even walk, so running in the heavy snow will most likely freeze to death outside.
"You, you are not allowed to lie..."
Nangong Rou's face was full of tears, and she kept choking.
At this time, her little face was dark, and the dress she was wearing was no longer clean, not much different from Jiang Zhige, a beggar.
"Rou'er, don't worry, today I will not only find food, but maybe even your parents."
Jiang Zhige smiled and comforted on the surface, but his heart was extremely heavy.
In order to take care of Nangong Rou, he has tried his best, but he is just a beggar after all, how can he give Nangong Rou a satisfactory life?
......
"It's hard to imagine that this humble beggar in front of me could actually be the Devil Emperor who would later be the giant of the Nine Heavens..."
"What's the trouble with this? It's a good heart to save someone's life as someone else. How can you endure Miss Qianjin's stubborn temperament?"
The strong onlookers in the hall frowned, and they all saw how much Jiang Zhige paid for Nangong Rou for half a month.
Jiang Zhige himself could not get enough to eat or wear warm clothes. In order to support Nangong Rou, he fainted several times in the snow and almost lost his life.
So much effort, in exchange for Nangong Rou's unwelcome.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Nangong Rou secretly clenched his fists.
She wasn't angry at the remarks, but felt a tinge of...guilt.
......
After leaving the broken temple, Jiang Zhige went straight to the downtown area of Yucheng.
At this time, the New Year has passed, and the Yucheng market has resumed its liveliness again, and there are endless hawking sounds from the roadside.
Jiang Zhige stood in the middle of the crowd, and his eyes quickly locked on a steamed bun shop that was selling.
He looked gloomy and uncertain, and stood there for a long time hesitating.
Thinking of Nangong Rou who was still waiting for him in the broken temple, Jiang Zhige finally made up his mind.
He took a deep breath and quietly approached Baozipu as if nothing had happened.
The owner of Baozipu was a middle-aged man with a big shoulder and a round waist. He quickly noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Zhige.
Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Zhige suddenly rushed over, grabbed two buns and ran away.
"His grandma's, stinky boy, stop for me!"
The owner of the bun shop glared, rolled up his sleeves and strode up to catch up.
The weak Jiang Zhige couldn't run very fast. Due to his guilty conscience, he didn't see the road very much. He bumped into the back of a person before running very far, slipped his feet and almost fell to the ground.
"Sword Comes"
The owner of Baozipu saw this in three steps and walked over in two steps, grabbed Jiang Zhige's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Stinky boy, I don't want to do anything, just hand over the buns!"
The owner of Baozipu's eyes were like copper bells, and his fierce appearance made Jiang Zhige's face pale for a while.
But even so, he still hugged the bun tightly and didn't let go.
Seeing this, the owner of Baozipu looked a little gloomy, and said coldly: "Stinky boy, I think you have been begging for some time here, and you have never stolen or robbed. I used to pity you, but I didn't expect you to be like this. Low-grade stuff."
Jiang Zhige gritted his teeth and didn't speak, he just hugged the bun tightly and didn't let go.
"Two buns are not a big deal to me, but I just don't give them to you, do you know why? Once a guy like you has the first time, he will be a little thief who will only steal chickens and dogs in the future. Today I If I don't hit you, I'll teach you a lesson."
The owner of Baozipu snorted coldly, and then pulled the steamed buns out of Jiang Zhige's arms.
Jiang Zhige's strength was much worse than that of the bun shop owner, and he tried his best to protect the buns.
The owner of Baozipu glanced at the steamed buns that had been crushed by Jiang Zhige, but instead of taking them back, he took a bite and threw them on the ground, stomping on them to pieces.
In order to prevent Jiang Zhige from picking up the residue, the owner of the steamed bun shop specially mixed the broken buns in the soil and snow with his feet.
Jiang Zhige's face was ashes as he watched the steaming steamed buns being trampled to pieces by the boss.
Seeing the despair in Jiang Zhige's eyes, the owner of Baozipu sneered and walked back.
Just after walking a few steps, Jiang Zhige, who was behind him, suddenly fell to his knees with a plop.
The owner of Baozipu was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Zhige, who was on his knees.
"You are..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Zhige kowtowed three times violently, a strand of blood seeping from his forehead.
"Why do you do this? I never said that if you kowtow, I will give you buns."
The owner of Baozipu frowned slightly, he didn't expect Jiang Zhige to do this.
Jiang Zhige knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said with a trembling voice, "Brother, I have been begging for a living since I was a child. "
"Ridiculous, you can't support yourself, how dare you take in unrelated people?"
The owner of Baozipu shook his head. In his early years, he saw Jiang Zhige begging in the city, and he had never seen Jiang Zhige have any younger sisters.
Suddenly a younger sister appeared, and Jiang Zhige apparently took in a younger beggar.
"She calls me brother, then she is the only relative in my life..."
Jiang Zhige's eyes were flushed, and he bowed deeply to the bun shop owner.
