Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

"Sure, they've already roasted the rabbits."

Lu Chen landed, put away the divine rainbow, and said with a smile.

"Didn't Brother Lu say it was very close? You two have been gone for far too long!"

Xu Qi'an stood up and said:

"Huo Huo was so hungry he couldn't wait any longer, so he suggested we go hunt some wild game."

"The wild animals in your world are really too powerful! We just ran into a big wild boar, and we almost got killed."

"After all that work, all we got was a rabbit."

"If you hadn't chickened out, we definitely could have killed that big wild boar!"

Xiao Yan said irritably.

"I called that a strategic retreat, okay!"

Xu Qi'an began to argue.

"You're kidding me!"

Xiao Yan placed the rabbit he was holding on the fire, stood up, and walked to Lu Chen, asking with a curious expression:

"Brother Lu, who is this little girl?"

"How come he went out and brought someone back with him?"

"A little beggar I found in Yandu."

Lu Chen smiled and ruffled the little girl's pigtails.

"She's quite cute. Is Brother Lu planning to adopt her?"

Xu Qi'an also came over and asked curiously.

"It's fate that we met. I'll return her to her family when I find them."

Lu Chen nodded, then softly introduced her to the little girl:

"Little girl, this is Brother Xiao Yan, and this is Brother Xu Qi'an."

"Hello, both of you brothers!"

The little girl obediently greeted Xiao Yan and the other person.

"This little girl is so well-behaved!"

Hearing the little girl's sweet and adorable words, Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an both grinned from ear to ear.

"Brother Lu Chen, you guys eat first if you're hungry, leave the rest to me."

Huang Rong walked to the campfire, waved her hand to place a table, and with another wave, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.

"Brother Lu Chen, let me introduce you to this dish. This one is called 'Jade Flute Playing the Falling Plum Blossoms,' this one is called 'Moonlit Night on the Twenty-Four Bridges,' this is 'Good Match Soup,' and this one..."

Listening to Huang Rong's introduction, Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an were practically drooling.

The little girl in Lu Chen's arms was sniffing hard, her big eyes fixed on the dishes on the table, and a tear unconsciously rolled down her cheek.

"Little glutton, go get whatever you want to eat."

Lu Chen put the little girl on the ground and said.

After spending some time together, the little girl had become familiar with Lu Chen and was no longer the timid and cowardly girl she had been before. She took her short little legs and ran towards the table.

However, because of her height, even when she stood on tiptoe, the little girl still couldn't reach the food on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled, picked up a piece of meat, and placed it in the little girl's hand.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Yan!"

After receiving the meat and saying thank you, the little girl didn't immediately put it in her mouth. Instead, she turned around and ran back to Lu Chen's side, holding out her hand and saying:

"Big brother, let me feed you!"

"Thank you, Nannan!"

Lu Chen squatted down, opened his mouth and ate the meat, then smiled and patted the little girl's head.

Both Xiao Yan and Xu Qi'an were slightly surprised to see this.

"This little girl is quite polite!"

Lu Chen reached out and picked up the little girl, walked to the table, and placed a jar of wine on it.

Xu Qi'an immediately picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for each of the three people.

Looking at the wine in the bowl in front of her, the little girl curiously leaned forward to sniff it, and wrinkled her little nose because she was choked by the smell of wine.

"Big brother, what is this? Can I drink it?"

"This is alcohol, only adults can drink it. Nannan is still too young, she has to wait until she grows up to drink it."

"Come on, little girl, eat some vegetables and try your sister Rong'er's cooking."

Lu Chen got a small bowl for the little girl, put some food in it, and said.

The little girl nodded obediently, then buried her head and began to eat heartily.

"Brother Lu, Huo Huo, it's truly an incredible fate that the three of us can meet in this strange land."

"Come on, let's have a drink!"

Xu Qi'an picked up his wine bowl and said loudly.

"Okay, let's do it!"

Lu Chen and Xiao Yan also picked up their wine bowls, the three bowls clinked together, and all three drank them down in one gulp.

"The beggar's chicken is ready!"

A little while later, Huang Rong took the beggar's chicken, which had dried out of the mud, off the fire. She cracked open the dry mud, and an enticing aroma immediately wafted out.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Miss Rong'er's cooking skills are absolutely amazing!"

Smelling the aroma of beggar's chicken, Lu Chen and the others gathered around the campfire. Xu Qi'an and Xiao Yan also took matters into their own hands and dug a beggar's chicken out of the fire.

They knocked open the mud clod and saw the tender, fragrant chicken inside. Just as they were about to reach out and pick it up, everything went black before their eyes, and then both of their beggar's chickens disappeared.

"what?"

The group looked up in surprise and found an elderly man with white hair suddenly appearing not far away.

The old man was dressed in tattered clothes, his body was hunched and withered, his eyes were cloudy and empty, and he seemed to be in a dazed state.

At this moment, the old man was holding the beggar's chicken that he had snatched from Xu Qi'an and Xiao Yan.

The old man didn't react at all to the stares of Lu Chen and the others, and just sat on the ground and started eating the beggar's chicken in his hand.

"Brother Lu, this... this..."

Xu Qi'an and the others were all startled by the sudden appearance of the old man. They all turned to look at Lu Chen, completely at a loss as to what to do.

Lu Chen was also quite surprised at this moment.

He hadn't expected that Huang Rong's beggar's chicken would have such power, even attracting this person!

It's important to know that their current location is by no means close to the Forbidden Zone of the Ancient Wilderness.

Isn't this old madman always just active near the Forbidden Zone of the Ancient Wilderness? Why is he here today?

Unable to figure out the reason, Lu Chen didn't dwell on it too much.

Although the old madman is not in good mental condition, he won't hurt people randomly, so he is relatively safe under normal circumstances.

Despite the safety concerns, Lu Chen didn't dare to rush forward and start a conversation.

Looking down at the little girl in his arms, Lu Chen's eyes darted around. He placed the beggar's chicken that Huang Rong had given him into the little girl's hand and whispered:

"Nannan, that old man must have been hungry for a long time. Take this chicken over to him and let him eat it too."

The little girl obediently took the beggar's chicken and walked towards the old madman.

Seeing this, Huang Rong glanced at Lu Chen with some concern, and only after receiving a signal from Lu Chen did she remain silent.

"Grandpa, my older brother asked me to give you this to eat."

The little girl spoke in her childish voice.

Having already devoured both chickens, the old madman, who was sitting there blankly, slightly moved his cloudy eyes upon hearing the little girl's voice, and somewhat stiffly reached out to take the beggar's chicken that the little girl handed him.
