Chapter 12 Grain-free Cake (1)
Since having Fang Lu as a buddy, Qin Zheng's escape has become much more comfortable.When setting up camp, some people gather firewood to make a fire and find hay and other things to build a nest. When they are hungry, they help catch locusts and dig grass roots, and they can climb tall trees that others cannot climb to pick dry grass. When I met bandits blocking the way, some people stepped forward to help drive them away.

There were still three steamed buns in Qin Zheng's bosom. Whenever she was very hungry, she would break off a piece of steamed buns and divide them into two pieces. She and Fang Lu would each have one piece.

Although she is stingy, she is definitely not the proprietress of a harsh guy.

After walking for a short distance, they came to the official road to Phoenix City, only to find out that a large number of deserters had also arrived here.Qin Zheng also met the three Guo family brothers again.When Guo Da saw him, he sighed regretfully, saying that all the stored food that had been searched with great difficulty had been snatched away by those bad guys.

"I don't know if it was snatched by the death row prisoners or the robbers. Anyway, they are not good people, so fucking bad!" Guo Da scolded.

Qin Zheng thought of his half bag of sorghum noodles, that's all, he could only pretend that there was no fate.

The group returned to the poverty they had before, and moved forward again. Now that there was no food, everyone was on guard against each other again, running ahead of others to sweep up wild vegetables in the fields, and once again desperately desperate for a bite to eat.

On this day, Qin Zheng, who was always able to gain something, was almost empty-handed, his stomach was already empty, Qin Zheng broke open the last piece of steamed bun, half of each person.

Qin Zheng silently lowered her head to eat, but heard a slight movement in the grass beside her. While swallowing the last mouthful of steamed buns, she looked up, and a pair of star-like eyes appeared in front of her.It was a little girl with disheveled hair, and it was faintly visible that there was an almost colorless headband tied in her hair.His cheeks were dirty, but his eyes were clear and clean, shining with longing, staring at Qin Zheng's empty hands.

Qin Zheng touched the sack, and there was really nothing in it.

So she leaned back on the haystack and slightly closed her eyes.

Fang Lu had only eaten half of the steamed buns. Seeing this, he got up and walked over, bent down, and handed the remaining hard steamed buns to the little girl.

Seeing Fang Lu approaching, the little girl was startled at first, but when the steamed bun was handed to her eyes, she still couldn't believe it, and only looked at Fang Lu in surprise.

There was a hint of sourness and tenderness in Fang Lu's indifferent eyes.

He said dryly, "Take it."

Only then did the little girl believe that the person in front of her was going to feed herself. She bit her lip, shook her head, and said weakly and childishly: "No, you're hungry too, I can't eat yours." She looked at Fang Lu that With sunken eye sockets and a cold face, he knew that Fang Lu was also hungry, and the people around him were all starving.

Fang Lu's tone was undeniable: "Take it."

The little girl blinked, and the voice of the man in front of her was full of irresistible breath, which made her a little scared, and she almost involuntarily stretched out her hand to take the small piece of steamed bun.

She put it near her mouth and ate it in small bites.

After Fang Lu handed the steamed buns to the little girl, he returned to the haystack and sat beside Qin Zheng with his eyes closed.

It took a long time for the little girl to finish eating such a small piece of steamed buns. After eating, she licked her hands and lips, and then said to Fang Lu who closed her eyes as if she was asleep: "Big brother, I It's called Yan'er, Yan'er, thank you for your kindness." After she finished speaking, she knelt there and kowtowed three times to Fang Lu.

After the little girl left, Qin Zheng finally opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, "She won't live long."

Qin Zheng has seen too many such things.
